Pippa
Pippa pressed her hands hard against her ears, trying to block out the yelling that was reverberating through her house.
She hated it so very much when her parents argued, they could and often did argue for hours the smallest thing could set either one of them off and once they started nothing could stop them, not Pippa nor her younger brother, they would argue until one of them would storm out leaving the other in tears and her brother creeping into her room and snuggling up to her as they waited for one parent to stop crying and the other to return.
"Pip, when will mummy and daddy stop fighting? They are scaring me." Pippa was only young, barely ten years old yet as she looked down at her younger brother and heard her parents arguing at the top of their lungs she suddenly felt mature beyond her years.
"I don't know, soon I hope."
"Pippa? Pippa are you awake sweetie?" Her mother's voice, croaky from hours of yelling and crying called up the stairs.
Pippa gently eased her sleeping brother into what she hoped was a comfortable position and slipped from her room and met her mother on the stairs
"Pippa, I'm so sorry, did you hear all of that?" Pippa was pulled into a tight hug and for a moment she could pretend that she was five years old again and she had nothing more to worry about then when her next playtime would be.
Then the moment shattered with the slamming over the front door and the angry yell of a furious man.
"Alice! Alice get down here now and bring Pippa and Will and be quick I don't want to have to wait."
"Sweetie take my hand, Will honey come with us." Pippa took her mother's hand and held her hand to her brother who had just stumbled sleepily out of her room.
"Alice I told you to hurry!"
Pippa stumbled after her mother and followed her into their kitchen where her father was sitting at the table with several sheets spread out around him.
"I think we both know that this has been coming for a while but I have had enough and I am filing for a divorce."
The rest of that night past in a blur. Pippa clung to Will who clung to her as they both watched their parents sign the documents that would legally end their twelve year marriage.
When finally Pippa crawled back into her bed several hours after being awoken by her parent's shouts, she had too many emotions clambering for attention to even allow her a chance at sleep and so for the rest of that night she lay awake remembering all the happy times she spent with her parents and fretting over what her life would be like now that her parents were splitting.
One year later
Today was the day. Her father was leaving and never again would they sit down to a proper family meal or enjoy a family holiday, it was over and she wasn't sure how she was going to manage.
As she remembered all the good times tears began to leak, unbidden, from her eyes at first she wiped her eyes furiously, desperate to stop crying but after a while she gave up and pulled her beloved brown teddy close to her and sobbed properly for the first time in years.
Pippa failed to notice the creak of the window as it was force open, not did she notice the cold rush of air that entered her room, she was so caught up in her grief and fear.
"Hey Pip, Jamie said you were upset." A voice that Pippa hadn't heard since last winter, over a year ago now, before everything had fallen apart, startled her from her sobbing.
Jack Frost sat on the end of her bed, his thin and light-weight frame barely making the bed dip.
"Jack!" Her tears were forgotten as she launched herself at him and pulled him in for a tight hug.
"Sorry it took me so long to come back, autumn didn't want to end this year, Alex getting ideas above his station." Jack mumbled the last but half to himself and half to Pippa.
"Why aren't you with Jamie?"
"I was but then he mentioned that you had been upset lately and of course I couldn't have that, one of my believers unhappy? Never."
Jack smiled kindly and wiped away any traces of tears left on her face.
"So tell me what's bothering you?"
Jack pulled her onto his lap and although she was ten years old and obviously very mature she snuggled closer to him and felt his arms wrap protectively around her.
"It's my parents, thereā¦" Pippa choked back a sob and buried her face in Jack's soft, blue hoody.
"I'm sorry kiddo, can't say I know how it feels but I'm here if you ever need someone to talk to, do you want me to stay and talk now?"
Pippa nodded into Jack's hoody.
"Tell me about your life before you became Jack Frost."
"Sure if you want me to, I will start with my sister, she was called Pippa as well. Pippa Mary Overland Frost, quite a mouthful for such a small girl, you would have liked her, Pip, she was so small but she could be so scary when she was mad." Pippa smiled as she pictured the girl who shared her name in her mind.
"She looked like me, well what I used to look like, brown hair, brown eyes and pale skin, she loved to laugh as well, which was good because I loved to make people laugh, her most of all."
Pippa smiled as the image in her head was completed. A small girl, very slim with intelligent brown eyes, shoulder length, straight brown hair and a large smile present on her face.
"One Easter we decided to catch the Easter Bunny, I know now why it didn't work but at the time it was such fun." Pippa closed her eyes, leant against Jack and listened to his tales.
He told her about all of the pranks he had played, both as a human and as a spirit (and boy were there a lot) he told her about how his father had taught him how to hunt and how he was to protect his family, always.
He spoke of his friends and how different Burgess was, how it had changed and yet how similar and homey it still seemed. They talked for hours and slowly the grief Pippa felt diminished slightly, it was still there and would never go away completely but she realised that even if they no longer lived together and she no longer saw her father all the time she still had them in her life, unlike Jack, his family was long since dead, all of his friends and neighbours, everyone he knew all dead. Pippa listened to his stories and behind the laughter she heard the great sadness in his voice and she promised herself that with the help of her friends, Jack's believers around the world and the Guardians they would ensure that Jack would never be forgotten about or unloved and unwanted ever again.
Finally just as the sun was beginning to stretch over the horizon Jack ran out of stories to tell, but by this time Pippa was long since asleep.
"There you are Pip you have used up all my stories but hey I'll go and have so more adventures and I will always come back and tell them to you."
Jack kissed Pippa gently and laid her back on the bed and, tucked her in and placed her teddy by her head.
"Good luck Pippa." Jack waved his staff and flew back out the window, remembering to close it behind him, (it would be no good if she froze to death in her sleep.)
As Jack flew he thought about his sister. He wondered about her life after he had gone, had she had a happy childhood without him? Grown up, married had children? Grandchildren?
Baby Tooth owed him a favour after he had rescued her from an over enthusiastic fairy fan a few weeks back, now it was time to call in that debt. Jack called to the wind and set off for Asia and the Tooth Palace.
With Baby Tooth's help he watched his sisters memories after his death. According to Tooth it wants strictly allowed for someone other than herself or her daughters to view the memories but she figured she could make an allowance just this once.
So Jack spent a few hours watching the life that he had missed. He watched his sister grow up. He had been right she had gotten married and had three children, one who had been named Jackson.
Bad ending I know :/ Sorry
Hope you enjoyed regardless if you did please review, follow and fave :D Also please request! It can be anything apart from slash! Any one who wanted a chappie featuring Sophie that will most likely either be the next chappie or the one after that. I am currently planning on writing one with both Bennett children in and then two separate ones featuring the two of them individually :)
