Jack sighed contently as he sat on a boulder. His staff rested next to him as he looked out over the sheep. There was at least a dozen walking around or grazing. He liked the job, as boring as it might seem sometimes.

He got to be outside in the fresh air. He could talk to the sheep about anything, not that they could say anything back but whatever.

Mr. Crouse, or Fredric as he told Jack to call him, was a great boss as well. He had an amazing sense of humor and acted very fatherly to Jack. Mrs. Crouse was sweet as well. He had heard about their daughter, who was learning at a school in the next town over, but hadn't met her yet.

They had came from Spain, and had moved here after Fredric's parents had pasted away. Both had thick black hair and dark hazel eyes. Fredric's eyes looked bluer and Mrs. Crouse's looked browner. If he didn't know they were husband and wife, Jack might have thought they were siblings.

Jack broke from his thoughts when he saw one of the lambs straying from the other sheep. He jumped off the rock and took off calmly behind. After all if he ran after it would think he was a predator. So he set his staff on his shoulder and decided to let it walk around but if it got to far he would herd it back.

He followed as it pranced around, ate some grass. When he noticed they had gotten a bit to far from the other sheep he figured it was time to turn around.

"Come on little guy, time to go back." Jack says as he tries to herd it with the staff.

The lamb just moved around it and began running.

"Hey!' Jack cries chasing after it. 'Come back, here!"

He chased it around, every time he seemed to have it, it would always seem to slip past him. Jack panted as he slowed to a stop, putting his hands on his knees as he breathed. The lamb was still dancing around, making him groan.

"Ughh." Jack sigh as he took off after it again. He noticed the lamb going towards the road and ran faster. If he lost the lamb he would lose his job, he knew it.

He looked back at the road and saw the lamb running right toward a young girl walking down it.

"Watch out!' Jack shouts to her, making her look up from a book she was reading in surprised. 'Run away lamb!"

The girl seemed to suddenly notice the lamb running right at her. Though instead of running or moving out of the way she kneeled down and opened her arms.

"Come here Rooca!" The girl says happily.

Jack came to a stop as the lamb ran into her arms and let her pet it. He looked between the girl and lamb in shock. "Huh?"

"Oh sorry, he just likes me a lot." The girl laughs, her long black hair bobbing slightly. Her hazel blue eyes looked at him with mirth, making his heart flutter slightly. "By the way I'm Lindsay. Lindsay Crouse."

Jack's eyes widened. "You're Fred- er Mr. Crouse's daughter?"

She looked at him confused. "Yes, how do you know my dad?"

Jack blushed. "Oh I'm sorry. I'm Jack, Jack Overlander. I work for you dad by watching the sheep, as you can probably tell I'm not doing a very good job."

He held out his hand and she shook it.

"Nice to meet you, Jack.' She smiles. 'I suggest we get back before dad realizes you're missing."

"Yea." Jack chuckled rubbing his neck.

They walked back up the road, Jack's staff in his armpit as he held the lamb.

"So how is going to school in another town going?" Jack asks.

She shrugged. "Ok, I guess. The teacher is nice, and so are the other students. Except Rick, he is a pain."

Jack gave her a side-ways look. "Why is he a pain?"

She frowns and huffs. "Oh he's always going on about how 'amazing' he is and picks on the younger kids and all of that. What's even worse is he hits on every girl he sees, counting me."

She puffed up her chest and flexed her arms, giving a horrible intimidation of a guy's voice. "Hey baby, do you want to get with a handsome and strong man like me?"

Jack snorted. "Those people are so annoying, I wonder if they know how ridiculous they sound ."

Lindsay laughed. "I couldn't agree with you more."

So for the rest of the walk they talked. Jack felt more open with her and told her about his life. In turn she told him about hers and some amusing stories about her parents.

When they got back up to the house and field Mr. Crouse was waiting for them.

Mr. Crouse grinned. "About time you got here, Lindsay. And Jack! I was worried some wolfs had gotten you."

Both teens blushed, Lindsay spoke up first. "Sorry dad. Jack had to chase after a run away lamb and volunteered to walk me back up to the house."

Fredric waved away their worries. "It's already I'm just glad you're both back. Come in, Helga has dinner ready. Would you like to join us Jack?"

Jack looked at both before smiling. "Sorry Mr. Crouse, but I had best be getting home, thanks thought. Plus Lindsay is here so you guys will probably want family time. See you tomorrow, Mr. Crouse, Lindsay."

Jack then handed the lamb to Mr. Crouse and started walking home.

Lindsay called out behind him. "Bye Jack!"

Jack looked over his shoulder and waved back. Jack smiled and a small skip joined his step.

(Do you want to build a Line Break? Do you want to build a Line Break?)

Jack was waiting outside for Sarah and their mom. It was Easter again and he couldn't wait.

"Come on, come on!' He mutters to him self as he tapped his foot. 'What is taking them so long?!"

An idea hit him and he grinned. He moved behind a tree and waited for them to come out.

Only a minute later they come walking out, Sarah looked around confused. "Where's Jack?"

Elizabeth looked around as well. "I don't know. I told him you guys couldn't leave till I had the rolls I need for tonight."

Jack came slowly and quietly behind Sarah. "Boo!"

Sarah jumps slightly as Jack prances from behind her grinning wildly. "Jack!"

Jack forms antlers on his head with his hands and laughs. "Come on, slow-poke!"

"Be careful out there!" Elizabeth called out to them as they ran off.

(Let it go, let it go! I can't hold the Line Break anymore! Let it go, let it go!)

Jack yawned.

The others turn to him and Tooth cooed at how cute it looked. (Not adding how his teeth sparkled slightly) She flew over to him and patted his head. "Do you want to rest, Jack?"

Jack shook his head. "No…Have to watch the memories."

He yawned again.

"Mate, just sleep. You don't have to watch with us." Bunny says, giving Jack a smirk. He had noticed how Jack had acted around that Lindsay girl and he wanted blackmail.

Jack just shook his head stubbornly. "No…Don't have to….sleep."

Sandy laughed silently before floating forward and sending a small puff of dream sand at the winter spirit.

Tooth caught him and gently laid him on the ground, his head resting in her lap again. Jack curled slightly around his staff, holding it tightly to his chest. His face relaxed and soft snores came from him.

(Line Break, Line Break! I love ROTG! Line Break, Line Break!)

Small clips of memories started playing.

"Happy Birthday, mom!" Jack and Sarah shout happily to a surprised Elizabeth.

She laughed and kissed them both on the heads. "Thank you, guys."

Jack held out a doll to Sarah. She looked at it in surprise, it was made with white cotton with a brown sewn on dress with button eyes and a stitched smile. "What is this for, Jack?"

Jack laughs. "It's your Birthday! What did you forget?"

Sarah cuddled the doll for a moment before setting it aside and hugging Jack tightly. "Thank you, Jack. It's wonderful!"

Jack smiled and hugged her back. "Anything for you, sis, anything for you."

Jack's birthday came and he had hit a growth spurt. He had grown a good 3 or 4 inches making him slightly taller them a normal 14 year old.

Sarah pouted. Jack noticed her look and walked over to her. "Hey you ok, Sarah?"

Sarah continued pouting. "No."

Jack's eyebrows fused. "Why are you upset?"

Sarah sighed. "I can't climb onto your shoulders anymore! You're too tall!"

Jack looked shocked for a moment before laughing. "That's all? If you wanted on my shoulders, just ask."

Before she could reply he had lifted her up and on his shoulders. She squealed before laughing, with Jack joining in.

Elizabeth peeked her head in from the kitchen. "Kids! Dinner, come on!"

Jack set Sarah down and they raced to the kitchen. "Food!"

As they rushed past her Elizabeth sighed fondly and rolled her eyes.

Jack and Lindsay were sitting on a rock watching the sheep.

Lindsay suddenly turned to Jack, making him turn to her. "Yea?"

Lindsay frowned slightly. "Nothing, never mind."

Jack shrugged. "It's ok. What did you want to ask?"

Lindsay turned her full body around to face him. "Don't you ever wonder who you real parents were? Don't you ever wish you were still with them?"

Jack froze. He hadn't told her why he had meet Felix and June, only that they weren't his really family. Blood family, anyway. He wet his lips as he debated telling her.

Lindsay blushed and turned away. "I'm sorry that must have sounded so nosy of me."

Jack shook his hands. "No, no it's fine…It's just…there is a reason I left them."

Lindsay stared at him for a moment. "Would you tell me why?"

Jack's eyes hesitated to meet hers. "I don't know…"

Lindsay nodded. "Ok. I won't push you to tell me."

Jack sighed, even if she wasn't meaning to her words made him feel guilty. She had told him a lot, if not all of her life but he still had told her about the first 5 years of his life.

"My parents hadn't wanted a boy. They had wanted a daughter that could marry into a rich family so they would have money. When I was born they got bitter. They ignored me most of the time, and the rest they only acknowledged me to tell me how useless or terrible I was. One day they came into my room smiling and talking how happy they were to see me. I was excited, they finally cared! They took me to the forest and told me to count to 30. I closed my eyes and counted.' Jack's sepia eyes dulled slightly as he told the story. '…I finished counting and they were gone. I looked for them and the house, but they had walked me in too deep. Soon it was dark and…I was alone. They left me in the woods without a second thought. I admit sometimes I wonder what it would had been like if they had kept me, but at the same time I'm glad I'm never going to see them again."

Lindsay had small tears rolling down her cheeks. Jack saw this and shook off his self pity. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you."

Lindsay just shook her head, she threw her self forward and hugged him tightly. "So many bad things have happened to you Jack! How can you still smile?!"

Jack pulled up her chin and smiled at her. "Yea a lot has, but I don't focus one that. Do you want to know what I focus on?"

Lindsay snuffled. "What?"

Jack rubbed her arm gently. "All the good things I got in between. I got meet and have a family with Felix and Ma and now I have Sarah and Mom. Sure it was painful sometimes, but they helped me though all of it."

Lindsay seemed to think that over.

Soon the silence became comfortable and they just sat there, staring up at the stars, Jack's arm still around her.

Here is the Teaser:

Jacklyn sat on one of the black cages, bored out of her mind. Her hoody and shorts hugged her body, her long white hair swayed as she swung her legs.

Blowing her bangs out of her face she looked down at the man lounging on a throne like chair half hidden in the shadows. "Do you do anything fun?"

"No.' The man's smooth voice answers boredly. 'Why you stay here and torture both of us is unknown to me. Was defeating me not enough? Do you have to mock me while I'm down as well?"

Jacklyn rolled her eyes. "Don't be dramatic, Pitch, it makes you sound like a whining 6 year old."

Pitch's yellow eyes glared at her from the shadows of the throne. "Why are you even here?"

Jacklyn shrugged. "I'm bored. All the other Guardians are busy so I thought I would check up on you."

Something flashed in Pitch's eyes that was gone before she could determine what it was. "Well do not fear, my dear, I'm perfectly fine. Now you can leave."

Jacklyn grinned cheekly at him. "Mmmmmmm...Don't think I will. You know this place would be a lot cooler if you added a bit of color to it. It'c actually pretty nice if you calmed down the whole 'gothic dungeon' theme."

Pitch sighed. "You're not going to leave me to rot in peace, will you?"

Jacklyn hopped down and stood next to his throne. She leaned her upper body on the arm rest and leaned her face close to his. She gave him a challenging look. "Nope. Are you going to try to make me?"

Pitch got a look of deep thought, suddenly a wicked gleam entered his eyes. He stood from the throne, pushing her lightly and making her fall into it. She squeaked in surprise before noticing Pitch now stood above her. A small blue blush touched her cheek as he moved his face right into hers. "Yes. Now Jacklyn...'

Pitch lifted her chin up and placed a cheshire kiss on her lips. She froze, eyes wide suddenly her surrounds changed and she was on her lake. '...Get out of my home." Jacklyn looked back in the direction of Pitch's lair and touched her lips. "That unfair, cheating, jerk." She huffs before picking her staff up and deciding to check up on North.
