Ok extra chapter!
Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
Cya all soon
After the court case, all went quiet in the town of Burgess. Even somewhat in the bennett house hold, which was highly needed after such long periods of drama. Things in the household were quiet as the final couple weeks before Easter were about to begin. Jamie was sleeping much more easily, but still needed jack to help protect his dreams as keith and will still taunted him, but were starting to become more like memories. Baby tooth began to visit more routinely from her tooth delivery like before, and was often happy to help sophie plan tea parties and help jamie sketch more. Bunny and tooth, finally free of much drama were crazy about each other and were often missing from homes for private time. North was already beginning his more major plans for the big day of Christmas, and had a very special idea for jamie, who at this point deserves a present. Sandy was busy being his uplifting self and often came to visit jamie, sophie and jack, giving reports to the teen how the two assholes in prison were doing. The night after the court case jack and the guardians had discussed a plan to watch keith and will in prison, and make sure they didn't get any chances to ge out out, especially to cause havoc to jamie. All the guardians knew all too well the child may be in ferice danger if the men ever saw him again.
Jack was doing quite well, and found himself starting to regain a sense of normality once more, as jamie and him both began to recover, dreams healing.
Jane and meg were both celebrating heavily over Jamie's triumph and were buying cakes and gifts to celebrate. In the night jack could hear the two giggling away, romance think in the air.
The rest of Jamie's friends popped in and out,many exhausted as the court case had taken a
the energy out of them, they were only children, it made sense.
Each night jack would cuddle with Jamie and finger brush his hair, seeing the familiar freckled face below him, smiling jack would hug the child tighter feeling more lucky with each second of seeing the recovering boy. Jack often found himself surrounded by friends and family now, all giving baskets of care gifts to him or jamie, each congratulating the adolescents for their amazing achievements. But seeing Jamie's chest rise up and down and hearing his peace filled breathing was all jack needed. About a week before Easter, things seemed almost, abnormally normal.
That's when it happened.
keith had escaped the prison he had been sent to,and was heading straight for the mexican border which was quite a ride away. The police went insane looking for the man and were releasing his name to the public within the next morning, terrified that with keith no longer having anything to hide would start a killing spree or cause a violent path to mexico, to be lost across the state to hell knows where.
But they were far too late.
Sandy found out about the news within the hour it happened and quickly flung himself in an urgent plane to call a meeting with the rest of the guardians at north's workshop. Needless to say everyone was infuriated and were thirsting for action. North was red in the face and pounding the table so much his massive fists were red, tooth was fluttering around caught in a tornado of fury and absolute fear as her teary eyes shone. baby tooth was fluttering around madley much like her queen, squeaking to herself in was sending a bunch of messages above his head, each frantic picture tearing more fear into everyone's heart. It took a moment for the three guardians to calm down, before they slowly turned to jack wondering how the teen would take the news and dreading possible ice fire. Jack however was very quiet making everyone on edge. The furrowed browed teen glanced over at bunny, his young eyes filled with anger and questions. The jack rabbit who had been oddly quiet too, gave a cool glare and nodded, emerald eyes glinting. Standing up abruptly and racing to the window without a word, not wanting in any means to be stopped, went jack rushing to the window passing the surprised yetis. Before Jack flung himself into the awaiting wind jack glanced back at his once former kinda enemy, bunny's once annoying glares and serious expression now gazed at him, and instead of making him mad or self conscious, Jack felt himself weirdly feel better gazing into the pooka's powerful eyes. Jack's blue eyes blinked and his once annoying and pest like nature to bunny was now almost completely gone. Both guardians gazed at the other for a long time before jack gave a smirk and jumped out into the wind, traveling straight to the states around Burgess. Bunny watched him go, pride burning in his eyes, before he turned to explain to others what was going on.
….
As Jack flew higher and higher into the cold sky anger and conscious filled his mind, all thoughts of absolute fury taking all control of his mind. Once Jack was high enough into the clouds the cold began to thicken and the wind began to collect Jack's furious energy and soon become vengeful itself as it wipped the trees and cut into the earth. Jack eyes locked onto his staff and his heart started to beat into his ears his thoughts clearing. Jack always felt terrible when car crashes occurred, and families were smashed because of the storms he was made to cause. No life was worth his storms, but fate had other ideas often. As tears burned down the cheeks of Jack, his eyes locked in front of him as he floated in mid air. Than suddenly the shot of dision filled his mind as he remembered the look on Jamie's face as he was being pinned and gagged, the pure fear in his crying eyes as Keith's face relished his best friend's pain. There was a snap of ice and a scream and the snow thundered, clouds of grey exploding to white.
…..…..
The biggest storm of the century hit burgess and the states around it, as a nasty shot of snow froze part of the country. A bitter, freezing cold shocked the towns and cities with about 3 feet of snow and frost bite for everyone outside for longer than a half hour. Everything was cancelled everywhere, and the roads were a complete found Keith's body towards the end of the state, frozen like an ice mummy in the woods, with an eerie tinge of red ice, if one were to look at it in the right angle. Keith's expression looked like it was in pure shock, almost like it had seen a ghost.
…..
When jamie first woke up the next morning he yawned and turned over, and to his surprise found Jack on the side of his bed looking over sketches in Jamie's drawing book. The teen smiled greeting the boy with a tired grin and yanked him into a tight hug. Jamie blinked and laughed as as jack noogied his head, before going down stairs to watch cartoons and begin their morning routines. Sophie met them in the hall and Jack immediately entangled the little girl into a hug making her giggle feverishly. Jamie smiled and watched from the back but could not stop wondering what was making Jack this energetic and lively in the morning, even for the wild spirit this seemed odd. After having breakfast with his family, laughing and talking with them as routine started to settle back in their lives, jamie began to sit down in the living room while Jack was busy in the kitchen with food. Flipping on the tv casually jamie let out a sigh and relaxed. Like gun fire the dreaded name Keith Carter flash in bold on screen, as the one eyed man glared at the terrified boy. Jamie let out a yelp and snatched the remote sweat pouring down his face as he aimed the remote like a gun at the screen. Jamie was about to flip it when he was caught shocked as the words"FOUND DEAD " flashed on the screen. Shaking jamie starred in absolute disbelief at the screen, his clammy hands shivering with pure adrellion.
"Keith Carter escaped prison last night but was found dead 30 miles away in the nearby woods, frozen to death in a snowbank."
Jamie's eyes widen and he gazed at the tv for a long time body rigid. Keith dead? This couldn't be real, the man seemed like a devil immortal as a man in his mind still, an angry nightmare that refused to go away. Besides he was in prison, how could he be free? Even more of a question dead? Jamie fell back on the couch, his family completely un aware of the news for the brief moment. Gazing up at the ceiling jamie blinked thinking over the news, then it struck him as his brow furrowed.
frozen to death
Jamie's eyes shot wide before he looked away and found himself staring at Jack who had just entered the room, the teen's own eyes wide. Both stared at each other for a very long time, Jack's grey swirling with reluctance and uncertainty as Jamie's smart brown eyes fixed the puzzle in his head.
Suddenly there was a click.
Letting out a cheer of joy and disbelief as he crashed into the teen's arms crying with joy and relief. Blinking from the shock of it all jack smiled and held the boy, knowing Jamie finally felt safe.
