Hey Guys! This is my first fic so your opinion is would be great! Besides that, I own nothing! This is just a story my mind dreamed up! I am so sorry for my horrible accents with North and Bunny. Thanks for reading!
It took three days for Jack to wake up, Tooth was sitting beside him asleep, Sandy stood by the window sending out dreams, and North and Bunny were talking in the corner of the room. Jack looked around slowly his mind foggy, the first thing he noticed was his hoodie was gone.
He gasped and covered his chest quickly which caused North, Bunny, and Sandy to look his way. Seeing him awake caused them all to rush over and look down at him. Tears glistened in North's eyes, Bunny looked at him with pity, and Sandy just gave him a small smile. Jack looked away slowly "Why am I here?" He asked weakly.
"Ve brought you here to care for you. You feeling better da?" North asked looking at him
"I'm fine, can I go now?" Jack asked sitting up only to be pushed down gently by Bunny
"Sorry mate, you're gonna have to explain what happened to ya." Bunny told him motioning to his arms
"Why does it matter? Besides judging by your faces you already know what happened." He said sighing looking over the three, the guilt that flashed across their faces proved his theory.
His eyes landed on Sandy who had symbols flashing above his head which Jack understood as "How long have you been doing this Jack?"
Jack took a deep breath, "Have Tooth get my memories and I'll show you." He whispered, watching as they woke Tooth and explained. She hugged Jack tightly muttering apologies before she flew off quickly. The four males sat in silence waiting for Tooth none of them knowing what to say.
Tooth flew in soon holding the box close "Are you sure you want to do this Jack?" She asked looking at him, Jack nodded softly and Tooth sighed "Alright join hands. Now know that I can't control the memories, we'll see some from your human life first then memories from your immortal life." She explained.
"We needed to start from when I was human anyway." He whispered watching as everyone joined hands. He ignored the looks of concern from the other as he placed his hand on the box and they were thrown into his memories.
{Memory World}
CRASH!
"What was that Mate?" Bunny asked looking around,
"Just watch." Jack whispered.
They were standing in a small house looking at two adults. The male looked angry a broken liquor bottle on the floor. The woman was sheltering two kids behind her, a young boy and a little girl. "Stop this Mathew!" She pleaded
"Shut your mouth!" He slurred advancing on them fist raised. "You don't get to tell me what to do Bitch!" He swung at the woman and the young boy jumped in front of her and Mathew's fist connected with his face sending him to the ground. He laughed and stumbled out of the house, the woman fell to her knees beside the boy "Oh Jack, you shouldn't have done that." She whispered tears in her eyes.
Jack smiled slightly "I'll always protect you Ma, I'll clean up why don't you get Emma in bed?" He asked softly. The mother started to argue but he held a hand up still smiling "Please Ma?" He asked. She nodded reluctantly and walked toward the rooms.
"Mateā¦." Bunny started,
Jack held a hand up "Don't." He whispered his voice cracking as if he was begging.
Jack moved onto his knees and started picking up the glass, his cheek throbbing with pain. He closed his eyes to keep the tears from flowing, but kept picking up the glass. He gasped in pain his eyes flying open, he looked down at his hand and watched the blood well up from where the glass cut his hand.
He let out a weak laugh, 'It numbs the pain.' He thought as he looked at the glass. He stared at it for a long time before making another cut, as he did the memory faded away.
Jack was suddenly knocked to the ground Tooth hugging him close "Oh my poor Sweet Tooth!" She cried tears falling down her cheeks "You didn't deserve any of that pain!" She said, Jack just sighed and hugged her gently not saying anything.
North helped them up slowly "Let's keep watching da?" He said looking sympathetically at Jack before they were pulled into the next memory.
Jack was flying through the sky looking like the Jack they knew a wide smile on his face as he flew. He laughed and started frosting trees before he ran into something, or better yet, someone.
A boy no older than Jack stood there with fiery red hair and a smirk on his face "Oh look, the winter brat." He said moving closer to Jack who kept flying back "What you scared?" He asked laughing.
"Of course not!" Jack said pushing out his chest "I just don't like the heat, you know that Blaze." He said crossing his arms.
Blaze smirked "Why don't we fix that?" He asked throwing a fire ball at Jack and hitting him in the middle of his chest. Jack let out a cry of pain as he started falling from the sky. He got scratched up by trees before hitting the ground hard. Blaze laughed from above before flying off.
"One hundred years and he still has to torture me." Jack whispered wincing as he sat up and looked himself over. He noticed the blood on his arms and frowned, 'Why isn't my chest bothering me?' he wondered. He made an icicle and sharpened it before dragging it across his arm he noticed the pain subsiding even more. He smiled realizing he found something new to help him with the pain.
{Back in the Real World}
The four older guardians fell to the floor and Jack fell back on his bed as they were pulled from the memory. It was silent for a long time before Bunny finally broke the silence "Two hundred years mate?" He asked cringing as Jack nodded.
North pulled Jack close "Ve are so sorry Jack." He whispered looking down at him.
Jack looked down "It was the only thing that ever helped the pain." He whispered. The other four shared a knowing look as Sandy sent a ball of dream sand to Jack. Three hundred years was much too long, and now, they needed to help their broken boy.
