Chapter 3

Jack's POV

I stared at the girl who I knew now to be my little sister Pippa. Did she really come all the way from the land of the dead just to see me? That was so sweet. Pitch looked at her with confusion. "I don't know who your brother Jack is. Can you tell me more about him?" Pitch asked with a failed attempt of a sweet smile (it made him look like he was grimacing). Pippa was about to open her mouth when I made up a decision – Pitch must not know that she is my sister. So just as she was about to speak, I flew down from the tree where I was hiding and said, "Pitch, what are you doing here? I thought us Guardians banished you into your dark little hole." Pitch glared and told me, "You can't defeat me forever because there will always be fear!" I rolled my eyes and said, "Yeah, yeah. Anyways, that girl is coming with me. And there's nothing you can do about it!" Right after I said that, I grabbed a surprised Pippa by the hand and flew off with her.

When we reached the North Pole, I flew with Pippa into one of North's empty rooms and shut the door. Pippa now looked afraid. I didn't blame her either because if some strange kid came up to me and flew off with me without warning, I would be scared too. I looked at Pippa, knelt down so I was her height and said, "It's all right. You're safe now and your quest is complete." Pippa looked at me with a confused look. "What do you mean my quest is over?" she asked "And who are you?" I smiled, looked at her in the eye and said, "Pippa, don't you recognize me? I'm your brother, Jack."

Pippa's POV

I laughed. How could this white haired teenager be my brother, the brother I had been looking for over three centuries? The teen looked at me confused. "Why are you laughing?" he asked. I said, "You can't possibly be my brother! My brother has brown hair and brown eyes. And he isn't a sprite." The teen took my hands and looked at me straight in the eye. He said, "Do you remember the time when you had that nightmare and I told you how to get rid of it?" I nodded. "Well, I said that you just think about the nightmare and say 'I'm not afraid of you.'" My eyes widened. It was him. "Jack!" I yelled and hugged him. He may have a different appearance but he is 100% my brother. Jack hugged me back and then said, "Don't tell Pitch that I'm your brother. And by the way, my name is still Jack Frost." I nodded and smiled. It was so good to see him again.

Jack's POV

North walked into the room when Pippa was hugging me. I looked behind me and saw him. He was looking strangely at Pippa. "Who is she?" he asked. I made a split second decision to not tell the Guardians that Pippa was my sister. It was better for fewer people to know so Pitch wouldn't be able to get any information out as easily. "She's Jamie's cousin, Pippa." I said. Pippa gave me a strange look. I gave her a look that read play along. Pippa understood and said, "Yes, I am Jamie's cousin. I was playing with Jamie when Jack came along and, um-"

"And then I came, saw her, and asked Jamie if I could talk to her. No more questions and let's change the subject!" I exclaimed. Now North was giving me a strange look. "Um, okay. I'll just leave you two here then." He then left.

Pippa POV

I wondered why my brother didn't want the truth about us to be revealed. What harm would that do? "Hey, Jack? Why didn't you tell North about us being siblings? Jack looked at me then said, "It's kinda a long story. See, it all began when Bunny kidnapped me…" Jack told me about his journey to becoming a Guardian and defeated Pitch. I was fascinated. My brother went through all of that? "And to conclude, I am now officially the Guardian of Fun." He said. I smiled. "Now I understand. And I know who Jamie is now." Then a dark shadow came charging through the window.
