A/N Okay, I'm usually only crazy with couples, but this movie was just AWESOME! I fell in love with it when I watched it on my computer! And it had no romance whatsoever, which is usually what hooks me. So, this is my first Rise of the Guardians FF. This will be multiple chapters, so I hope you enjoy this first chapter. I don't own this movie, but boy do I wish I did.
Jamie stared at his computer in shock. It had been three years since Jamie first saw Jack. Jamie was now ten-years-old and in the 5th grade. He and his friends often see Jack and Bunny comes over just as often to see the now five-year-old Sophie. Right now he was doing a family tree project, "No…way," he said shocked, but then smiled and laughed, "No way!"
"Jamie!" his mother called, "That doesn't sound like homework!"
"It is!" Jamie called, "I just found something really cool!"
"Alright!" Jamie's mother said a smile in her voice.
"Sophie!" Jamie called, "Come look at this!"
Sophie came in, "What?" the little girl asked.
Jamie picked Sophie up and set her in his lap, "Who does that look like?" he asked pointing to the screen.
"Jack!" Sophie said gleefully.
"You remember how Jack told us he was human?" Jamie asked.
Sophie nodded, "Well, this was our lots of greats grandmother's older brother," Jamie said.
Sophie brightened. She was rather bright for a five-year-old, "Uncle Jack!" Sophie yelled then laughed, "We're related to Jack Frost!"
Jamie laughed with his sister and spun her around, "Whoa, did I miss a party?" Jamie and Sophie turned and saw Jack floating in the window.
"Jack!" they yelled happily.
"The one and only," Jack said smiling, "Now, what has you two so happy?"
"I have a family tree project due," Jamie said running to the computer screen, "And look what I found!"
Jack, curious, walked over to the computer. He went wide eyed, "Is that…me?" he asked.
Jamie nodded, "Look what I have so far," Jamie pulled up the Microsoft Word document he'd been working on for his project, "All the way up to…"
"Olivia…" Jack looked at Jamie, then Sophie, "My sister…"
"Uncle Jack!" Sophie yelled happily.
Jack was shocked for a few seconds before he started chuckling then finally laughed happily. Jack picked his new discovered niece and nephew up and spun in the air, "I can't believe this…" he said, "My first believers are actually my family."
Jamie and Sophie laughed happily. Suddenly, Jack smirked, "Bunny's not gonna believe this…" he said.
"Bunny!" Sophie said happily.
Jack set Jamie and Sophie down; "Keep that up," Jack said gesturing to the screen, "I'm going to get a little Easter Bunny…"
Jack then flew out of the room, happy as can be. Jamie looked at Sophie, "Come on," he said, "Let's go get a snack while we wait."
Sophie laughed and grabbed her brother's hand. Jamie walked downstairs, but stopped halfway with wide eyes. Jamie's mother turned in shock, "Jamie, Sophie, upstairs, now," she said sternly.
Sophie was frightened even though she didn't know what was happening. Jamie, on the other hand, knew exactly what was happening. There was a man standing in front of their mother with a gun pointed at her. The man looked like a male version of Sophie. The man looked at Jamie and he froze in place, "Hey Sport…" he said.
Jamie gulped, "D-dad…" Jamie said with fear.
"Jamie, take Sophie upstairs," Jamie's mother said.
"I-I," Jamie was too scared to move.
"Mommy…" Sophie said frightened.
"Everything will be alright, Sophie," their mother said, "Jamie, go upstairs…"
Jamie finally found the ability to move, but before he could do more than pick his sister up, "Don't move, or you'll lose your mother," Jamie froze again.
"Jamie…" Sophie said scared, "I want Uncle Jack."
Jack! Jamie realized. Jack wouldn't let anyone hurt his family and Bunny would rather die than see Sophie hurt, "You don't have an Uncle Jack, you little brat," the man said, "Now, James," Jamie stiffened at his full name, "Come here…"
Jamie gulped, "No, Jamie, go upstairs and lock the door!" Jamie's mother said.
"Come here or I shoot your mother, boy!" the man yelled.
"Jamie!" Jamie's mother yelled.
The man glared at his ex-wife, "I see the only way to get through you is to shoot them," Jamie's breath caught.
"Jamie! Run! RUN!" Jamie's mother yelled before a bullet went straight through her head.
Sophie screamed bloody murder, "MOM!" Jamie and Sophie yelled.
"You two…are next," Jamie backed away holding Sophie close to him.
Sophie was crying heavily and even Jamie was crying. The man held the gun up, "JACK!" Jamie yelled.
Jamie heard the gun fire. He held Sophie close to him waiting for the end. After a few seconds of nothing, Jamie slowly opened his right eye. He went wide eyed when he saw both Jack and Bunny glaring at the now frozen man that is, biologically, their father and the also frozen fired bullet. Jack turned to Jamie and Sophie, his anger instantly faded, "Jamie, Sophie," he whispered bending down to them, "Are you okay?"
Sophie was shaking in her brother's arms, "M-mommy?" she asked.
Bunny was bent over the mother's body and shook his head, "I'm…I'm sorry, Soph," he said.
Jamie and Sophie began crying. Jack held the two kids close to him, "I'm sorry," he said, "I shouldn't have left. I'm so sorry."
"It ain't ya fault, Frostbite," Bunny said, "Ya couldn't have possibly known this was gonna happen."
Jack pulled away from Jamie and Sophie, "I protected my sister, now I'm going to protect you," he said.
"And 'ow do ya plan on doin' that mate?" Bunny asked.
"Well," Jack said, "I am their uncle."
"Oh no," Bunny said, "The police are neva gonna believe that Jack Frost is the ankle-bitters' uncle and they can't just disappear."
Jack flew upstairs, "Where are ya going?!" Bunny yelled and picked Jamie and Sophie up as he ran upstairs.
Bunny found Jack standing beside Jamie's computer, "Take a look Kangaroo," he said, "According to Jamie's family tree, they have no remaining family besides their grandparents, who all died within the last five years. This means they'll be put in an orphanage. Do you really want Sophie to grow up in that?"
Bunny shivered, "No," he said, "But they still can't just drop off the face of the Earth."
"And they won't," Jack said, "They'll still go to school and whatnot, but we'll just have to ask North for a little favor…"
"Eh?" Bunny asked confused.
Jack smirked slightly, "Jamie," he said crouching on the window, "Call the police. Tell them what happened, but when they ask if you have any other family…tell them the truth."
"What?!" Bunny yelled, "You're crazy Frostbite! The police won't believe him when he says you're his uncle."
Jack rolled his eyes, "Watch them," he said, "I'll be back."
Jack flew off with his staff clutched tightly in his hand. Bunny shook his head and turned to Jamie and Sophie. Sophie looked terrified beyond belief, "It's alright, ankle-bitter," Bunny said taking Sophie from Jamie, "It's all over. No one will hurt ya while I'm here," Bunny looked at Jamie, "We'll have to trust Frosty," he said, "Go on and call the police."
Jamie nodded and shakily took the cordless phone in his room and dialed 911.
"I'm very sorry you had to see this, kids," a policewoman said not seeing the Easter Bunny that stood right beside them, "I'm truly sorry about your mother, but can you tell me if you have any other family. Any at all?"
Jamie looked at Bunny and he just nodded, "We…we have an Uncle Jack…" he said.
The policewoman looked hopeful, "On your mother's side?" she asked.
Jamie nodded, "Where does he live?" she asked.
"Uh…" Jamie said, "In town…more in the woods near the lake."
The policewoman frowned, "I don't know of anyone who lives out there…" she said in thought.
"Whatever you're plannin' Frostbite," Bunny muttered, "Better be soon."
"I don't know where," Jamie said, "I just know he lives near the lake."
Suddenly, Jake flew in through the window, "Frost!" Bunny yelled, "Where have ya-"
Jack held a finger to his lips. Bunny was confused as to what Jack had planned. Jamie and Sophie looked at Jack, "Well, I'm going to need him to come to the station and prove to us that he is, indeed, your sister's brother."
"He's not our mom's brother," Jamie said, "He's her uncle."
The policewoman was confused, "Well, still, he needs to come to the station and-" it suddenly started to snow inside the house, "What the…"
Jack smirked as Jamie and Sophie started laughing. Jamie looked at Jack, who nodded, "Tell the truth," he said.
Bunny was shocked. Jack honestly expected an adult to believe in him? Jamie turned to the policewoman, "Our uncle is actually over 300 years old," Jamie said, "He's Jack Frost."
"Excuse me?" the policewoman asked.
"It's snowing inside the house," Jamie said, "Who else could've done that?"
The policewoman blinked then gasped when Jack came into her line of vision. Bunny's mouth dropped. He actually got an adult to believe in him! Jack twirled his staff, "Jack Frost at your service, ma'am," he said playfully bowing.
"But, but, but, but," the policewoman said shocked.
Jack turned serious, "Jamie isn't lying ma'am," he said, "I was human 300 years ago. I had a little sister, who is a direct decedent of Jamie and Sophie. I am their uncle by blood."
The policewoman shook her head, "Wait…back it up," she said, "Is the Easter Bunny real too?"
Jack smirked, "He's standing right here," Jack said pointing to said bunny.
The woman jumped, "Back to the matter at hand," Jack stated, "I am the only living family of Jamie and Sophie's and I'm not letting them go anywhere else."
The policewoman shook her head, "I understand that," she said, "But I can't just let…what, a 17 year old raise two young children. You need a job, money, food."
"Ma'am," Jack said, "I'm 317 years old. I've been around way before you were born," the woman blushed in embarrassment of stupidity, "As for a job, I am the bringer of winter. Money and food, I think Santa and Easter over here have that covered."
"Oi…" Bunny said.
"Wait…Santa's real too?" the woman asked.
Jack nodded, "He may fill himself with hot chocolate and cookies, but I'll make sure Sophie and Jamie get the food they need," he said, "I've even got permission from North, Santa Claus, to allow them to stay in the workshop. I may be their family by blood, but we all see Jamie and Sophie as family."
The policewoman nodded, "I understand," she said softly, "But the station still has paperwork to fill out. We need to know Jamie and Sophie will be taken care of."
"They will," Bunny said, "Our job is to protect all children. Jamie and Sophie will just be on the top of the list."
The policewoman nodded, "And they'll continue to go to the same schools," Jack said, "North has the transportation set."
The woman nodded, "Understood," she said, "I'll finish the paperwork," she turned to Jamie and Sophie, "Good luck to you two."
Jamie smiled and stayed close to his uncle. Bunny picked Sophie up, "Don't worry," Jack said, "I protected my sister. I'll do the same with them."
The woman nodded and left the house. Jack picked Jamie up, "Let's go pack your things," he said, "North is setting up your rooms as we speak."
Sophie had passed out a few seconds after Bunny picked her up. Jack and Bunny headed upstairs to pack what things they may need. Jamie lay his head on his uncle's chest, "I will keep you safe, Jamie," Jack said, "I promise."
Jamie smiled and let his eyes droop and let Sandy do his job.
A/N End of Chapter 1! Or Prologue…whatever you think it is. Please R&R! I'd love to know what you think. Hope I didn't totally butcher the movie!
