Ok next chapter. This is the last part to this arc.
And I've heard of the Saint of Suicide and Brother Frost and that's what inspired this arc. I tried not to use that idea of course and made my own back story here and name. So the suicide thing is not mine I just love the idea.
And yes you may make a suggestion. I'm always open to them.
Anyway onto the LAST PART OF THIS ARC!
When they entered Jack's room, Jack went over and sat on one of his windowsills, Bunny and North sat on his bed, and Tooth and Sandy floated near the winter spirit.
"So?" Bunny said, "Are you going to explain or what?"
Jack sighed, "What do you want to know?"
"Why did you…kill the child?" Tooth hesitantly asked.
Jack frowned and pulled his hood up, "It's not a choice I get to make. The Blue Angel is something that all the winter spirits have to do, but only the Spirit of Winter not the sprites. This was passed down from the Ice Queen then she passed it onto Old Man Winter then him onto Jokul and then I have it from being reincarnated as the winter spirit.
We are servants to Death. We only help the child die but then Death comes for the soul. I only deal with children that lose their childhood and faith in life. But these children have to be 17 and under and have to believe in the Blue Angel. To do that they hear the story. And I may only take them if they are curtain they wish to die. You see if I'm called and they want to die, I use my cold to put them to sleep."
"So you had believers before this?" North asked.
"No they believed in the angel, not Jack Frost." Jack answered.
"When did you first discover you had to do this?" North asked.
"I don't know." Jack answered, "Sometime around the 1730s. I was just flying around when I felt this sort of tug. It was a feeling that was pulling me in a direction so I followed. I meet Death there and he explained to me what I had to do. At first I tried to run away from this but I soon found out, you can't escape Death."
"What's the story?" Sandy asked.
"Once upon a time," Jack began, "There was a little boy. He lived in a cold home where he was ignored and abused. He wanted to leave too a peaceful place, one where he could be happy. One night he asked the stars and moon for someone to take him to that place. Then there was a blue glow from the side of his room and an angel of blue appeared. He turned to the boy and asked what he wanted. The boy had replied that he wanted to leave to a peaceful and happy place. The boy then asked if the angel could take him to such a place. The angel nodded and opened his arms, letting the child go in them. The angel said close your eyes and the boy did so. The boy felt cold cover him and once it was gone the angel said to open his eyes. The boy did and opened his eyes to the most beautiful place he ever saw. He was loved there and was happy. You see, any child who believes in the Blue Angel and calls for him, can be taken to this place."
"The story has changed somewhat over time but it's kept the same concept." Jack continued, "You see, if a child hears that story and believes, I can be called. But thankfully I'm not usually called."
"So that other light…is you?" Tooth asked.
"Most likely. I'm more like a dead child when I'm the angel." Jack answered. Silence that sat in the air after that was broken by a choked sob from the winter spirit.
"I-I never wanted t-to do this. I ju-ust want to…to protect children not…not.." By now he was full out crying. His shoulders shook with each silent cry, tears sliding down his face, freezing and then hitting the ground.
"Oh Jack." Tooth whispered as she went over to him and wrapped her arms around the troubled spirit. The other three joined in holding him. When his sobs turned to hiccups and everyone pulled away Jack asked, "You're not mad?"
"No of course not sweetie." Tooth soothed.
"Why did you not tell us before?" North asked.
Jack took a shuddering breath, "I-I was new and I thought I would get kicked out of the Guardians. That I'd be alone again."
"Oh, Jack we.." Tooth began.
"Don't say you would've listened." Jack snapped, "You might not have, since I wasn't able to explain before. It would be like, "Oh hey I should tell you guys that I have to kill children sometimes but I don't want to." And you have reacted like on Easter with the addition of Sandy. And then later I just didn't have the courage to."
The others sat in silence until Bunny broke it, "You're right." They all looked to him in shock. "We probably would have thrown you away without an explanation. But now…Frostbite we're here for you. If we through you out now everything would feel different and wrong. You're supposed to be here so don't ever think we'll get rid of you."
They watched as hope sparked in Jack's eyes and a smile stretched across his face. He began to laugh in relief. The Guardians smiled as they watched their youngest member's worried vanish from the hope he was given.
And Bunny was right. They'd never be able to leave Jack and they'd never want to.
It's not as long as I'd like it to be but It's in the acceptable range for non-poem or songfic things.

Until next time! :D
