Chapter 4: Jamie and Jackie talk.

Jack raised an eyebrow at Jamie as he stalked out of the house angrily. "You OK, Jamie?" He asked the young boy. As the boy started to head toward the pond without so much as a backward glance to Jack. Jack gave a confusing glance to the house before hurrying to catch up to the young boy. Having realized that the boy hadn't answered his question.

"Hey" he said stepping in front of the ten-year-old boy. "Are you Ok?"

Jamie sighed and looked down at his toes., "My older sister Dawn, is back." He told Jack as he put a hand to his face. He expected Jack to be surprised that Jamie had an older sister that he never spoke of. Instead he heard a soft sigh coming from the eternal teen beside him; he looked up at Jack in confusion.

"And you're angry that she never wrote, called or tried to contact you in anyway?" Jack asked looking at Jamie sympathy filling his features.

Jamie looked at Jack bewildered. "You knew I had an older sister?" He asked Jack shocked.

Jack nodded. "I've been around for 300 years, Jamie," He reminded Jamie, softly. "I was here in Burgess the night she ran away."

"And you never tried to turn her around?" Jamie said suddenly angry with his best friend for not trying to help to keep his family together.

"I did not have any believers back then, so instead, I watched her to make sure she got to her destination safely," Jack told him calmly. "If I thought there was any chance that I could have tried to convince her to turn around and go back home, I would have; trust me." Jack told his first believer seriously. Jamie looked away as he felt his anger slowly ebbing away.

He looked to the sky for a long time. It wasn't Jack's fault that Dawn had up and left, the fault for that lay with Dawn. He shouldn't be angry with Jack for not doing something that would probably have been impossible - even if Dawn had been able to see him - Dawn could be stubborn and very little could stop her from doing what she wanted, when she set her mind to it.

"I guess." Jamie finally said feeling slightly guilty for snapping at his best friend. A part of him wanted to ask Jack what her final destination was, but the other much bigger part couldn't care less. So instead he turned and smiled at Jack. "Race you to the pond!" He said running ahead of Jack.

"Cheater!" Jack yelled laughing before jumping into the air and flying to the pond, beating Jamie.

"What was that about cheating?" Jamie asked panting slightly as Jack laughed at him.

Jamie smiled at his friend - he could be angry with his sister later right now there was fun to be had with his best friend.


A/N So Jamie is angry at everyone right now. Which is understandable considering in his eyes, Dawn ran away and should at least be punished for it. Dawn being only half human will be able to see Jack. For the record the deciding factor that led to Dawn running away happened several weeks before Jack arrived for winter - so he isn't aware of her reasoning.
