The Girl Who Waited

Jack find himself in his room surrounded by the other guardians, with surprised and shocked faces.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Jack asked with a curiosity written all over his face. "Why what happened? Did I win? I mean… Did we win?" he added

"What do you remember boy?" North asked and checking his temperature. "I remember, fighting the Time Lord last night and fainted."

Everyone looked a t each other like they're hiding something. "By the way, what time is it?" Jack looked each of them and raised hi eyebrow. "What? Hello?" Santa sighed and looked at the boy deeply. "It's already 8:00 p.m. is there something you need to do?" Santa stood up and picked Jack's staff and handed it to him. "Well, yes, I promised a little girl named Emilia to come back to her house tonight." He stood and put his blue jacket on. He was about to passed North when he grabbed Jack's hand. "You… I need to tell you something." Jack sat on his bed starring at North with a blank face. "The girl you met, probably…." He took a deep breath before saying the rest of it. "Is not a little girl anymore." Jack looked at Santa, confused. "What do you mean? I only met her last night. She's about this tall and…" Bunnymund suddenly cut in. "You're asleep for 10 years…Jack. " Jack widened his eyes and put his hands on his face. "What?! Don't play around me, this is not funny." He said angrily. "Nobody's laughing Jack." Santa said, "It's true, it's been 10 years, we thought you're already…gone but we still waited."

Jack picked up his staff and flew to Emilia's house to see if it is true. "Ten years, I'm asleep for ten years?" he said to himself. Arriving at Emilia's house, he knocked at the door but nobody answered so he went inside. "Emilia! Are you here?" he shouted, hoping a little girl to answer back. He went upstairs, to Emilia's room, still nothing. "Emi…." Then somebody banged his head from behind. After a few minutes, he was handcuffed to a pipe.

"What the? Ouch, my head hurts!" then a girl is standing In front of him. She has along black sleek hair, brown eyes and a fair skin wearing in a police suit. "Don't you dare move a muscle!" she shouted "Woah, wait. I'm just here to see Emelia." Jack is trying to free his hand and he started biting the handcuff. "What do you know about Emilia?" she's looking at the boy sitting on a floor with his hands handcuff and starting to touch his hair and face. "Quit it!" Jack said angrily. "Answer me, what do you know about Emilia?" she backed up and Jack recognized there are tears in her eyes and saw Emilia in her. "No way…. You are Emilia…right? Tell me, please, I need to know." He reached out to Emilia but she moved back further. "You're late" she said then smiled.

"Very, Very late…. Jack Frost"
