I've had this though for a bit, and I've honestly wanted a fic focusing on Jack's sister. As for her name I've decided to go with what a good amount of people have gone with. So Jack's sister is Emma. The other guardians will come in at around chapter two.
I don't own RotG.
Lets begin.
A small car drove down the gravel road at the edge of a forest on the outskirts on a town called Burgess, a young man with pronounced white hair sat at the wheel, focusing intensely on the road in front of him. In the passenger's seat, a teenaged girl stared out the window.
"So... are you excited for your first day of high school tomorrow or what?" the boy questioned, blue eyes still watching the road.
The girl shrugged, "I guess."
"You guess? Emma, this is the beginning of high school! Drama, friendship, nonstop parties!"
"Jack you know I'm the last person to ever party," Emma responded, "I'm excited, I just... what if I can't make any friends? We just moved here, and I don't know..." she trailed off.
Her brother, Jack, just laughed, "Seriously? Em, you're the most likable person I've ever known. Literally everyone back home loved you, and were completely baffled when they realized you were my sister."
"That's because you constantly were pulling pranks on people. How can you be so nonchalant about this?"
He shrugged again, "Senior year sis, makes you pretty chill, you should try it sometime," he said waving his hand through the air.
Emma tucked a stray hair behind her ear, turning back towards the window.
"I'm just glad I'll have you with me," she murmured.
Jack reached over and rubbed her hair, effectively mussing it up.
"Don't you worry, you're too cute to not make any friends," Jack flipped on his turning signal and made the turn, a small bridge in sight. A deep river underneath.
"Besides, if you ever need help, you can just call your favorite brother."
"Jack you're my only brother. But sure thing."
The two fell into silence, a warm feeling spreading inside Emma, reassurance pushed away any nervous thoughts and she closed her eyes.
It was at that exact moment, when Jack's eyes drifted over towards the river, admiring its beauty, that a large white truck spun around the corner and on the bridge in front of the car, within seconds it slammed into the front of the tiny car hitting the driver's side and sending the car crashing into the rails of the bridge.
Emma's eyes shot open with a terrified shout as Jack forced his arm over her body, shielding her face from the glass that shattered inwards towards the two of them. Emma could feel a horrible piercing as glass attacked her arm, her face saved by Jack's arm.
As the car stopped and things settled, Emma risked opening her eyes to see the damage.
What she saw made her wish she hadn't.
"Jack!"
His hand was still gripping her body, protecting her from any threat that could attack her. Glass embedded the entirety of his arm, blood dripping profusely. Chocolate irises followed the damage to his face.
Haggard breaths left his mouth as swelling began on his head, where several nasty cuts decorated pale skin. Droplets spilled from clenched eyes. Upon hearing his sister's voice, Jack forced his eyes to open.
"Emma..." in speaking a few drops of red ell from his lips. It was then that she noticed the machinery that was cutting through her brother's favorite blue hoodie and into his stomach. Effectively pinning him to the seat. The car shifted on the edge of the bridge.
She shrieked, terror filling her as she couldn't stop the tears from falling freely mixing with the blood covering her.
"Jack, Jack, you're... Jack. What do I do? Tell me what to do," she pleaded.
Jack shuddered, "Emma, I need you to be very careful and listen closely."
She nodded.
"I want you to crawl out the back door on my side. Once you're out, call 911. okay?"
Unable to form words she simply nodded again and began to unbuckle and crawl towards the back, careful not to push any weight towards the cold water below.
The trip fro her seat to the back door was slow and terrifying, and every moment convinced the fourteen year old that the next moment they would be sent over the edge and into the deep waters below. As soon as she opened the door and jumped out she pulled her phone out and dialed 911.
"Hello, this is 911, how can we help you?"
"Please, my brother's trapped in our car, I can't get him out, there's blood everywhere-"
"Dear can you please tell me your location?"
"W-we're at the bridge on the edge of Burgess, Pennsylvania, please, the car is gonna fall soon!"
"An ambulance is being dispatched now, dear I need you to stay on the phone with me. Is your brother awake?"
Emma grabbed the door handle on the driver's door hoping that maybe she could open it, it was useless but she wasn't about to let go.
"Yes, he's the one who helped me get out of the car. But he's badly injured, I can't see the car that hit us, but," she choked," he's hurt really badly, please hurry."
Jack turned his body to face Emma, putting a bloodied hand against the window. She couldn't stop the stream of tears that blurred her vision.
Suddenly the cement under the car gave way, and the vehicle shifted downwards.
Emma shouted, gripping the handle with all her might.
"Ma'am, I need you to stay with me, the ambulance is almost there."
Terror coursed through her, "THE CAR, I CAN'T HOLD ON! MY BROTHER, HE'S STILL, IN SOMEBODY HELP ME, I CAN'T PLEASE," she dropped the phone, "JACK! JACK PLEASE, PUSH ON THE WINDOW SOMETHING! JACK JACK! STOP NO!"
Tears of fear fell from both siblings' eyes.
Too weak to move, Jack simply mouthed three words to Emma that would forever haunt her.
"I love you."
Emma's hands slipped and the car fell from its perch, crashing into the dark, murky waters below.
Please don't kill me.
I promise this is a happy story.
Anyways, this is the first fic that I'm starting that I actually have time to work on and that I have enthusiasm for. Hopefully I'll have the first chapter up soon.
Until then
Bye Bye~
