Chapter 11:Meeting the Other Brother...


Jack woke up with a groan. It felt like a thousand tons of bricks were resting on his head and would not let up. He got up from there he was on his bed and instantly reached out for his staff, but it wasnt there.

Jack was instant wide awake and looking for his most prized possion. He looked around his room to see that everything was as it normally was and where it should be.

So where was his staff?

Jack looked around his bed to see if it might have fallen over, but it wasnt there either. Jack was starting to get worried, sure Jack had his powers but they were more easier to use with his staff, without it if Jack tried to use to much of his powers he might make a storm.

Not just any small storm, a storm like the blizzard of 68. It really had been an accident, he had been trying to make more snow for the kids to have that morning to play in and to help hid the eggs but he still had problems with his powers without his staff and...well it had all turned to the worest.

Jack frowned at the hurtting memories, he shook his head and got up. He walked over to the door and opened it, hearing the common sound of the toys being made and smells of peppermint and other sweet treats he knew nothing bad had happened.

Bunny must have token my staff as a joke or something. Jack nodded to that and began wondering the halls looking for his rival/friend.

Jack found Bunny as well as North in the main room, as normal they were arguing over which was more important, Christmas or Easter.

"I am telling you, Bunny. Christmas is more important!" North booms.

"Oi, mate your wrong, Easter is." Bunny argues back.

"If only there was a holiday for me then I can join in the fun." Jack jokes as he walks in their sights, making them jump slightly.

"Jack! Your awake, do you remember yesturday?" North asks.

Jack frowned and tried to think back, the last think he remembered was his and Mat's talk with Mother Nature. Why didnt he remember after that?

"Not much, the last I remember was me and Mat's talk with mother." Jack says with a shrug.

"Mother?" Bunny says with a confused look.

"Mother Nature, though she perfers us season spirits to call her mother." Jack explains.

"Ohhhhh." North and Bunny say.

Jack laughs, when he ends his small laugh he looks at Bunny pointedly and does the 'Give-me' sign. "Alright, funs over Bunny give me my staff, you know I dont like not having it around me."

"Oh Im not giving it to ya yet, Frostbite. Not after all the trouble you caused yesturday, mate." Bunny huffs.

"Trouble? What trouble did I cause?" Jack asks confused, what did he do to have his staff keep from him?

"You almost froze half my workshop when you had the mental capablity of one of my elfs." North frowns.

"What happened to make me like that?" Jack was to say in short, shocked.

"You and Mat had a little too much sugar, Jack." Tooth says as she comes in, she waves her hello and sits on one of the couchs.

"Where is Mat, anyway?" Jack asks, looking around for his brother.

"Hereeeeee." A groggy voice calls from the door way.

The guardians, and Sandy who had just came through the window, looked over to see a half- asleep Mat rubbing his eyes, his slightly shaggy hair was sticking up at odd angles and his clothes were rinckled for sleep.

All in all he looked adoreable, and his younger looking face made him seem even more child-like.

"Good morning, bro! How are ya?" Jack says as he leads his half awake brother to the couch Tooth sat on.

"Like a million hay bags were being pressed on my head." Mat groans, making the others laugh.

"Dont worry, it'll go away soon." Jack says comfortingly as he ruffles his brothers hair, taming a it a bit but not by much.

"I hope." Mat whines.

"Hey, to cheer you up I'll take you to see Jamie. How is that?" Jack smiles, he hadn't seen Jamie in a while and was happy to get Jamie and his brother as friends.

Mat was wide awake instantly and smiling widely. "Yea, I want to meet Jamie!"

"Awesome, but one problem." Jack snickers.

"What?!" Mat exclaims.

"Kanagroo wont give me, my staff back. Aparently, we went overload on sugar and I almost froze half of North's shop." Jack says with a innocent shrug.

"Bunny, please! Can you give Jack his staff, I really want to meet Jamie!" Mat pleads.

Bunny looks at Mat, then Jack, then Mat, then Jack, and finally stopped on Mat and his spring eyes soften slightly under Mat's pleading gaze. "Oi, I know I'll regret it later, but fine I'll give Ice Cone his staff back."

"Yes!" Mat shouts happily.

Bunny rolls his eyes and hopps out of the room to get the staff, he comes back a moment later and hands it to Jack with a warning look.

"Dont worry, Kanagroo, I wont do anything." Jack says mischieviously. (A.N:I think I spelled that wrong. -.-'')

"Have fun, Jack. You too, Mat. Be safe!" Tooth says worriedly, she had a small feeling something bad was going to happen but she pushed it aside, Jack had gone to Jamie's lots of times.

What could go wrong? (A.N:They always say that. x3)

-Outside Jamie's-

Jack stopped outside Jamie's window to see the kid still sleeping, everything in his room looked the same as it did when Jack last visted a month or so ago, before all the stuff with his brother and Pitch started.

"Ok, you wait here, alright?" Jack says.

"Ok." Mat says excitedly, he couldnt wait to a living, human kid. He had been with Jack and the other guardians that he never meet, or really saw any kids, and he hasnt seen one in about 300 years.

Jack moved in slowly through the window and moved to his first believe's bed side. His mouth was open slightly and a small bit of drool dribbled out of the side and on his pillow and he snored quietly, making Jack wonder if HE snored.

He shook off the odd thought, and began to lightly shake his friend awake. "Jamie? Jamie, wake up. I want you to meet someone."

"5 more mins, mom." Jamie slurgs out, he turns over and curls more into the blankets.

"Jamie, wake up. You dont want me to go to extreames do you?" Jack asks playfully.

"Ummhhhhmmmm...whateverrr." Jamie says, not knowing what he had just done.

"Ok, but you said so." Jack shrugs.

Jack quick as lightning ripped the blankets off him and in a second had a snowball in hand, then in another second it splated against the now dazed and bewilldered Jamie.

"Who?! What?! Huh?!" Jamie says, still in shock and not seeing Jack standing a few feet from him smiling widely.

"To answer ya, Jamie. Who: would be me. What: would be the snowball I just throw at you. ...and Im not sure how to answer to the Huh." Jack laughs.

"Jack!" Jamie shouts happily, he jumps from his bed and lands in the waiting spirits arms. "I haven't seen you in a month! What have you been up to, you have to tell me everything!"

"Dont worry, buddy!" Jack chuckles. "I'll tell you everything, but first I want you to meet someone."

"Who, is it another guadian?" Jamie questions in awe.

"He isn't yet, but he's even more important to me." Jack says smiling.

"Who, Jack?!" Jamie begs.

"I'll show you but first I need you to close your eyes." Jack says.

"Awesome!" Jamie says and shuts his eyes tight.

Jack moved over to the window and waved his brother in.

Mat looked at Jamie with awe, he was about 10 or 11 with unkept brown hair and a child-like face, he had a blue long-sleeve shirt and grayish-blue plaid pants and no shoes, he wasnt too skin or fat, and he seemed just the right height for his age.

What struck him the most was he looked kind of like Jack and him when they were younger and alive, could he be a great-great-great grandson of Pippa? Would that make them related?

He shook thoses thought out of his head, he could find out about that later, right now he wanted to talk and get to know Jamie, he seemed as important to Jack as he was and was happy someone had been with his brother even if it had been for only a year, he was greatful to Jamie anyway.

"Jamie, you can open your eyes." Jack says.

Jamie opens his eyes, and Mat sees warm excited brown eyes, JUST like Pippa when he or Jack would put on the shows for her and the other kids in the village.

Jamie looked around before looking at Jack with a worried frown. "Jack, why cant I see him? I thought I believed in all the guadians? Did I make him run off?"

Jack laughed. "No, you didnt run him off, he's right next to me. The reason you cant see him yet is because he's more of a season spirit then a guardian, for now at least."

Jamie fused his brows and looked at Jack with confusion. "Then how do I see him?"

"Like this." Jack made a snowflake in his hand and blow it in Jamie's face, a little explosion happened infront of Jamie's eyes making him blink rapidly.

"You know, I hate it when you do that sometimes." Jamie pouts as he rubs his eyes.

"I know but its the only way, sometimes." Jack shrugs.

Jamie looks up and gasps in shock and awe, next to Jack was a boy that looked almost completely like him except he had slightly more shaggy hair that covered the tops of his ears, ice blue mixed with spring green to make his eyes, and he had OLD fasioned clothes that looked slightly rinckled, a huge excited smile was on his face, and he looked to be a few years older then him about 14-15.

"Woahhhh." Jamie says. "Jack...he looks kind of like you."

"I would kind of hope so, he's my brother." Jack laughs.

"What?!" Jamie asked, shocked.

"Yea,' Jack's brother says happily and walks forward a bit to shake hands with Jamie, that Jamie accepts. 'Im Mathew, or as I like to be called Mat."

"Nice to meet you." Jamie says, but then he frowned at looked at him closely. "Where have you been though? By what I can tell, Jack says he's been alone for 300 years, where were you?"

Mat looked down, he wasnt really sure, luck for him Jack jumped in. "Jamie you know how I told you about MiM, right?"

Jamie nodds. "Yea he's the one that made you and the others guardians."

"Well when I was drowning in the lake, I told you about that, Mat jumped in to save me, but I never remembered that till a week ago..."

For the next half hour Jack told the story of what had happened all week, from the dream to Father Time, Pitch being back and stealing Mat, Saving Mat, and everything else they had done, by the end Jamie was looking at them in shock and was a bit pale.

"So what are we going to do about Pitch?" Jamie asks after a moment of silence.

"Oh, no Im not adding you into this, last time we needed you badly, Im not going to risk you or the others getting caught by Pitch. Im worried enough about Mat, getting caught again, I dont want to worry about you guys too, sorry Jamie but I cant let you join into this one." Jack says as he rests a hand on the younger boy's shoulder.

"But I want to help beat Pitch!" Jamie says. "Remember as long as I dont fear Pitch his nightmare horses cant do anything to me, I can help!"

"I will call you only when we need you, and Im in a tight spot, and ONLY then, ok?" Jack asks, looking Jamie right in the eye.

"Promise?" Jamie questions back, holding up his pinky.

Jack smiled and locked his pinky with Jamie's. "Promise."

"Good, now go. I need to get ready for school." Jamie jokes, as he nudged Jack and Mat to the window. "Plus if Sophie sees you you'll be stuck here forever."

"Ok, Ok! Bye, Jamie, we'll come by again soon." Jack says as he ruffles Jamie's hair.

"I hope so! It was nice to meet you, Mat, hope you come too!" Jamie says.

"Of couse!" Mat says, happy Jamie liked him. "Bye."

Jamie waved goodbye and walked out of his room, Jack and Mat floated outside Jamie's window for a min before they started to drift away.

"You guys seemed to get along great." Jack says.

"Yea, Jamie's a nice kid." Mat smiles.

"Thats good." Jack says.

"To bad it wont stay that way." Says a new voice.

Before the brothers can react, Jack plumits to the ground a few feet below and Mat is dragged into the shadows of a near by hotel.

"JACK/MAT!" They scream together before all turns back for them.


Ok, I think that was long enough. ENJOY! R&R! Ta.
