Jack's thoughts

~Jack Frost~Jack Frost~Jack Frost~Jack Frost~Jack Frost~Jack Frost~Jack Frost~

" Oh I can't wait to see what's next!" Tooth flitted about happily. The others were excited as well, and North could feel it would be something important. The memory started before North had the time to think about it.

Jack was still asleep exhausted from the day before, and who wouldn't be? He had to work 7 straight hours, and then he played with his sister who would be sad if he didn't; of course after he'd saw Santa Claus some time during midnight. Jack just wanted to sleep, so when he felt someone jumping on his bed, he yelped and shot straight up. Looking around sleepily, Jack saw it was Pippa jumping up and down yelling, " ITS CHRISTMAS! ITS CHRISTMAS!" over and over again. Deciding he'll just take a nap later, Jack got out of bed and headed towards the living room.

The tree was decorated, with ornaments Jack had saved from when their father was alive. Pippa knew that, she couldn't remember her father and when she did it was vague, like knowing he loved to have fun like Jack and he had black hair and brown eyes. She wished she at least had a memory about the man she called Papa, but she didn't so whenever he saw pictures of him she only knew him as stranger and not Papa. Jack seeing his sister getting sad distracted her by saying, " You want to open the first present Pip?" That snapped Pippa out of her daze, she nodded excitedly and grabbed a present with blue wrapping, she brought out a doll. It was made out of wood like everyone else's dolls and it had a beautiful dress, green with white patterns sewed in. She instantly knew this was from Jack, hugging her brother tightly she watched as he unwrapped a present of his own. It was from her, she'd manage to saw enough money to have a necklace made. The necklace was beautiful, it was of a snowflake something from Jack's favorite season. Smiling brightly at his little sister, Jack put it around his neck and mused on how he had a lot of necklaces on. He had the one the Easter bunny gave him, the one his parent's gave him, and now this one.

Jack saw his mother opening her presents as well, Jack had given her a new set of books since he knew how much she loved them. He also knew Pippa had given their mother a new bonnet. Smiling Jack opened his own presents and saw he had gotten books, a few pieces of food and some money, he saved the red wrapped present for last. He and Pippa had always opened their present from Santa together. " Ready Pip?" Seeing his sister nod they counted down, " 3, 2, 1 Open!" When they opened them they gasped it was a new pair of skates. Jack had promised his sister to learn how to skate and it looked like he would today. He already saw Pippa pleading to Mama to let them go.

Everyone was watching the joyous morning of Christmas, and they couldn't help smiling at their awestruck expressions especially when the Frost siblings had opened their present from North. Why do I hav a bad feeling about this? Tooth wondered but pushed it aside when she saw Jack and Pippa getting ready to go out. Jack had also taken his crook with him.

Pippa was trying to pull Jack toward the lake faster. " Be careful." Jill told her children worridly. Chuckling a bit at Pippa, Jack answered, " We will!" throwing a smile over his shoulder at his mother. When they got to the lake Jack helped Pippa put on her shoes, " Be careful okay? And don't go too far out." Jack reminded her. Nodding excitedly Pippa started going slowly on her skates. Smiling Jack looked away from her to put on his own skates when he heard an audible CRACK. Instantly Jack ran towards the ice and accidently dropped his crook trying to get towards his sister. Jack was so close to her, but if he moved any closer the ice would start cracking more and they'd both fall in. Putting his skates down Jack tried to comfert her. " Its okay. Its okay. Don't look down just- just look at me."

Everyone had been smiling when they'd gotten on the ice they were ready to watch another fun memory, when they'd heard the crack. The Guardians knew they wouldn't be able to do anything it was after all a memory, they'd only go through the people they were watching. The Burgess children were trying to help them but everytime they tried something they'd go through them. North put a hand on Jamie's shoulder and said grimly, " There iz nothing we can do." With tears in his eyes, everyone stopped trying to help and resolved in just watching.

" Jack, I'm scared!" Pippa was close to crying she didn't like this it was scary, she didn't want to die like Papa. She wanted to grow up and have a husband and kids, and live a long happy life. " I know, I know, but you're gonna be alright, you're not gonna fall in, we're gonna- uuuhhhh- we're gonna have some fun instead!" Jack blurted out. He knew fun killed fear, and he'd do anything to save his sister even at the cost of his own life.

" That's what he said to me." Jamie whispered, remembering when he'd been scared and Jack helped him laugh and let go of the fear. The Guardians also remembering that night relized where Jack had gotten it and here was their answer. They hoped that the little girl wouldn't die, she was too young for that. The other Burgess kids however were confused, they hadn't been there when Jack had thrown the snowball at Pitch, they'd stopped believeing at Easter.

" No we're not!" Pippa didn't want to have fun right now, she wanted to be back at the house playing with Jack. " Would I trick you?" Jack asked his sister.

" I don' think that was the best thing ta say." Bunny said he was nervously tapping his foot. Everybody else smiled half-heartedly Jack liked to play tricks, he no doubt did it when he was human too.

" Yes! You always play tricks!" Pippa shouted too scared to believe in her brother right now. Laughing nervously Jack answered, " Oh, alright w-we n-n-not this time. I promise, I promise, You're gonna, you're gonna be fine. Jack cursed himself as he stuttered but continued, " You have to believe in me."

Those six words caused the guardians to flinch, they hadn't believed Jack during the Easter fiasco, Sandy along with everyone else looked at the 3 guardians curiously. But they refused to meet them in the eye. North especially couldn't look at anyone, he'd given those skates to the Frost siblings, and they wouldn't be seeing two children in danger if it wasn't for him.

Pippa breathed she believed in her brother and always would. " You wanna play a game? We're gonna play hopscotch. Like we play everyday. Its as easy as one," Jack to a step towards the thicker ice, he winced when the ice cracked but seeing his sister looking at him pretended to loose his balance and regain it comicly. He'd manage to get a laugh out of her. " Two, Three." Jack had picked up his crook and he had a plan he just hoped it worked. " Alright now its your turn. One, that's it, that's it. Two." Pippa was so close when the ice cracked a bit more. Gasping Pippa looked from the cracked ice to Jack frightened. " THREE!" Jack grabbed his sister by the crook and used all his weight to throw her towards the thicker ice.

" HA HA!" North cried relieved, that his present hadn't costed a child's life. He brought everyone into a group hug, but then Jamie noticed something, " If he saved her, how come the memory hasn't finished?" Everyones eyes widened and they swiveled around and saw something that would change their complete impression of Jack.

Pippa smiled, and looked up and saw Jack smiling brightly at her. He let out a relieved laugh and right when he took a step the ice cracked, he relized to late he had switched places with his sister. With a shouting of " WHOA!" Jack went down the ice he heard an exclamatin of "JACK!" and he was under. Jack struggled to get to the surface but eventually breathed in and his eyes snapped open. He relized with horror he wasn't going to make it, and his struggles eventuallly died down and his breathing stopped.

Everyone was crying they couldn't believe Jack had died. None felt more sad than Nicholas ST. North, he had given them those skates and because of him, Jack had died leaving his mother and sister behind. Then he remembered something, when he was watching the globe Christmas morning he had seen a light slowly flicker out, he'd thought nothing of it at the time, but now he relized that, that had probably been Jack's light. He felt guiltier than ever now. A believer had died, and he had thought that the child had finally stopped believing. Then they heard something, and they relized it was Jack's thought's they watched as Jack's hair turned to white and he grew paler. The water making his clothes flow out. They watched as Jack Frost was created. Then Jack's thoughts started.
