Yay new chapter! Hope you like it!


Knock, Knock

The door opened and Sophie stuck her head in shivering slightly as she did so.

Jackie closed the window immediately and locked it. Knowing just how sensitive her mother could be to the freezing cold.

"Hey sweetie" Sophie said stepping forward. Jackie stripped a blanket off the bed and handed it to Sophie. Sophie started to sigh as the blanket's warming properties started to take effect.

"Are you ok?" Sophie asked her only daughter. "I know with everything that has occurred you and I haven't had a chance to talk."

Jackie looked down. "I know why we had to leave." She told her mother. "Sarah left as well" She said.

Sophie raised an eyebrow. "Oh?" She asked. "Did she say why?"

Jackie shook her head. "Her family thinks she might have done something that would have angered Pitch, but she didn't say what. Momma I'm scared, what if he goes after her to get to me?"

Sophie put hand on Jackie's shoulder. "I'm sure it's nothing" She told Jackie though her own stomach was starting to feel uneasy. "It was probably done more as a precaution then anything else."

Jackie leaned against her mother. "I hope your right."


For the most part Jackie stayed in her room the window opened wide allowing snow and ice to occasionally blow in.

The freezing air had always helped Jackie calm down when she was close to having a panic attack.

Her mother and the guardians had left to the globe room to discuss plans while Sophie had kindly requested that Jackie stayed put.

Jackie had promised her mother that she would stay exactly where she was for the time being and was currently just lying on her bed her mind going back to the phone call she had shared with Sarah a while ago.

What could Sarah have possibly done to warrant the wrath of Pitch? She focused on Sarah hard hoping the answer would come to her but it never did.

Jackie shook her head and began to think of something else, her mother had always told her that when you ran into a problem it was sometimes best to stop and think about something else for a while. So that's exactly what she did.

She thought of her family, and the fun she had had with Jack the night before, when Sarah had orchestrated the snowball fight between Sarah and Jonathon vs Jack and Jackie.

Jackie had to smile at that, Sarah always had a solution for every problem Jackie found herself in. It had been Sarah who had convinced the entire school that incident at school had been nothing but a furnace malfunction. It had been Sarah who had orchestrated the snowball fight so as to make Jackie feel more comfortable around her father.

In fact, it probably wouldn't have surprised Jackie if it had been Sarah who had freed Jack Frost from his prison.

Jackie blinked at the thought that flitted through her mind.

If Sarah had freed Jack Frost from his prison.

Jackie's eyes widened at that before they hardened and she ran out of her room toward the globe room as fast as her legs could carry her.


Sophie was on her phone by the sound of it talking to Uncle Jamie trying to calm him down.

"Jamie, it's fine it's probably nothing, they just wanted to move us just in case" She could hear Sophie say while simultaneously attempting to keep her voice calm.

Jackie moved on past her and head straight for Jack who was standing by the globe speaking to the other guardians about what there was to be done about Pitch.

A snowball appeared in her hands and she lunged it as hard as she could Jack Frost's head.

Jack stumbled forward slightly; he turned around to see Jackie glaring darkly at him. Jack looked at her surprised and confused.

Sophie removed the phone from her ear and stared at Jackie in shock. "Jackie!" She said loudly. "What are you…?"

"It's fine Soph" Jack said cutting her mother off, before staring at the young girl with an unreadable expression on his face. "I have a feeling I deserved it."

"You couldn't free yourself, but a 10-year-old girl could?" Jackie said venomously her fear for her best friend making her much angrier then she had ever been before.

Jack's eyes widened as around him the guardians looked confused.

"Jack what is Jackie talking about?" Tooth asked worriedly. Jack turned to look at the rest of the Guardians and sighed his head bent low so as to avoid the gaze.

"I didn't free myself" Jack said after a few moments. "After you guys left to get my daughter back, Sarah used a stolen snow globe to come into Pitch's lair to get me." Jack said resignedly. "I had meant to tell you, but Sarah begged me not too."

"And now because of you my best friend is in danger of Pitch." Jackie said venomously.

"Jackie…" Jack said desperately.

She looked away. "You got yourself kidnapped, and for ten years, I never saw you, and now, now I find out that my best friend could be in danger because of you." Jackie said her voice dripping in venom.

Jack at that looked stricken and pained, as though Jackie had just cut him in two. His legs gave out from under him as he all but wilted under his daughter's hateful glare.

"Jaqueline Overland Bennett that is enough!" Sophie said glaring at her daughter. "It is not your father's fault Sarah decided to free him, and it is not his fault that Pitch captured him, you will go to your room, and not come out until you are ready to apologize."

Jackie turned to her mother as though ready to explode at her as well before thinking better of it and snapping her mouth closed and running off to her room.

Sophie ran to Jack. "She's just afraid for her best friend" she whispered. "She didn't mean it"

"Didn't mean what?" A young female voice asked. The guardians and Sophie all turned to see Sarah Jessup leaning against the doorway her arms crossed over her chest, a raven perched on her shoulder and her eyebrow raised expectantly.


A/N So yeah, seriously I'm surprised that this story went this why. Like OMG Jackie just willingly yelled at her dad. Like I was half tempted to change this because I was afraid the big blow up was too early, but I did need something to move the story foreword, and I couldn't really think of anything. (Well I could actually for Sarahbut if I did that the guardians would have put on the back burner until I was ready for the above scenario and well… no wants that) that and Jackie is totally the kind of person to put logic and reasoning on the back burner when people she cares about are in danger so yeah thistotally makes sense.
