Enjoy the chapter!
My Emma will be called Em, and Jack's sister is Emma.
Disclaimer: I don't own anyone except Emma.
Elsa POV
Elsa sat close to Jack as the movie began. A screen appeared on the opposite wall.
"This movie is called Rise of the Guardians. It includes jack, Pitch, Sandy, the Burgess kids, and the Ex-Guardians." the voice said, and Elsa could see the confusion on the other kids' faces.
JACK (V.O.)
Darkness.
Most o the people in the room jumped at the sound of Jack's voice.
That's the first thing I
remember. It was dark, and it was
cold. And I was scared.
The silhouette of a body appears as it drifts into a ray of
light, refracted through water, which turns into..
A MOON - SEEN IN REFLECTION ON A SHEET OF ICE
The moonlight intensifies almost magically, and the ice above
begins to spider-web and crack.
Elsa and Em both gasp at the sight.
"What's going on?" Jackson asked, holding Emma tightly. Jack looked down, but Elsa saw the ghost of a smile on his face.
EXT. FROZEN POND - NIGHT
Snow-covered trees in every direction. The ice in the pond
continues to crack, until finally a hole splinters open. A
young man floats out of the water, bathed in the intense
moonlight. This is JACK FROST - thin, pale, barefoot, his
tousled hair frosted white.
"Why is he wearing Jack's clothes?" Emma asked.
"I don't know. That's strange, though." Jamie said.
JACK (V.O.)
But then...then I saw the moon. It
was so big and it was so bright,
and it seemed to chase the darkness
away. And when it did...I wasn't
scared anymore.
"Manny." Jack said fondly. Elsa smiled at the mention of Tsar Lunar.
Jack floats back down onto the ice as the hole closes up
underneath him.
JACK (V.O.)
Why I was there, and what I was
meant to do - that I've never
known. And a part of me wonders if
I ever will
Elsa looked at Jack, a smile on her face, and a raised eyebrow. Jack laughed.
"Hey! I know why I'm here now! To create the best and most awesome family ever." he said, and Elsa and Em laughed along with him.
Jack looks around, confused, then turns toward the moonlight
as it dims a bit.
Jack carefully treads across the ice until he hits something
with his feet. He looks down, and at his feet is a wooden
staff. Curious, he picks it up. Almost immediately the
staff begins to glow a cold blue in his hands.
"That looks like you staff!" Emma exclaimed, and Jackson nodded. Elsa giggled.
"You have no idea how close you are." Jack said, snorting slightly.
Jack almost drops it as the base of the staff comes in
contact with the ground.
"What the heck?" Kristoff asked, grinning. Em let out a loud laugh. Maxine and Jasper giggled, along with Anna and Elsa. Jack pouted slightly.
"It shocked me." he said.
Frost shoots out and spreads across
the ice. Jack is visibly confused.
He touches a few trees with his staff sending frost up their
trunks. Then he swings the staff again, more confident, as
he begins to run across the frozen pond.
Another swing, and a gust of wind swirls him high up into the
air. Jack floats for a moment only to fall back down to
earth and into the trees. Jack grabs hold of a tree branch
and pulls himself up to see a small town off in the distance
EXT. BURGESS SETTLEMENT - TOWN CENTER - CONTINUOUS
A collection of simple timber houses with thatched roofs.
Jack comes in for a landing, and it's a rocky one. He stands
up, still elated, and brushes himself off.
"Nice one, Jack." Anna snorted.
"Uncle Jack, why didn't you land right?" Maxine asked sweetly, and Em laughed, holding onto the side of the couch. Elsa chuckled. Jack rolled his eyes.
"I was a bit new at this, okay Maxie?" Jack said.
As Jack makes his way into town, settlers are warming their
hands by campfire. Jack doesn't recognize anyone.
JACK
(to the townsfolk)
Hello. Hello. Good evening,
ma'am.
(BEAT)
Ma'am?
"Oh MiM" Jack muttered. Elsa took his hand.
"Is this when you first found out?" she asked, and Jack nodded.
The settlers walk past Jack, not noticing him. Jack crouches
down as a YOUNG BOY runs toward him.
JACK
Oh, ah, excuse me, can you tell me
where I am?
"Jack, that looks like home!" Emma said, and Jackson nodded.
"Wait, where are you from?" Bunny asked.
"Burgess, Penssylvania." Jackson said, and the kids from modern-day Burgess stared at them, open-mouthed.
The boy runs right through Jack, as if he were a ghost. Jack
staggers back in shock. He's speechless, as if the wind had
been knocked out him. His emotions causing it to snow.
"Oh my gosh." Pippa whispered, placing a hand over her mouth.
"Oh, Jack." Sophie said. Jack looked down, and Elsa leaned her head on his shoulder. Emma took his other hand.
JACK
Hello! Hello!
Townsfolk continue to pass through Jack, unaware of his
presence. Shaken, Jack turns and retreats into the forest.
JACK (V.O.)
My name is Jack Frost - how do I
know that? The moon told me so.
But that was all he ever told me.
And that was a long, long time ago
We pan up as the moon shines down over the snow covered
trees.
"Well, that was an eventful first scene." Claude commented as the scene changed. The other boys nodded.
"Emma, that lake looked really familiar." Jackson said, and Emma nodded.
"It's my favorite place in Burgess." Jack said, smiling slightly.
"Why's that?" Jamie asked. Jack looked over to where Jackson and Emma were sitting.
"I saved one of the most important people in my life there." he said, and Elsa smiled.
