Hey guys! :D We are now offically into the movie and near the end of this story. I will be trying to update soon since school starts Monday. (All of my classes are collage prep! :D) So hope you enjoy Chapter 21!
Jack didn't know what would come next but he had the feeling that it would been the more recent memories. He wasn't sure how he was going to feel about them find out what really happened on Easter. Should he hold that last bit of anger and hurt he still had for them turning on him?
Or should he forgive them?
Over time as they got a bit closer in the real world and here his resentment at the Guardians (except Sandy) had faded almost completely.
Almost.
Jack wasn't one to hold grudges, but he wanted an apology at least for what they had done. For making him feel useless and…abandoned.
He had lost a lot, as his memories had showed. Unloving birth parents. Losing Felix and Ma to the fire made by Pitch; and losing his childhood as he had to learn to by him self.
And finally losing Sarah, Elizabeth and Lindsay when he went under the ice.
He didn't regret saving his sister, not by a long shot, but he did regret noting getting to grow up with her. Not getting to see Elizabeth grow old and possibly have grandkids if he had Lindsay had had the change to be together,
He never found out what happened to them, he never found out if Lindsay or Sarah got over his death. He never got to see if they got married and had kids. He never got to know if Edmund ever got that pet dog he wanted. He never got to see if James ever became an author or Will become a musician. So many things he never got to and likely never will get to find out the answer to. It made his heart ache thinking of his sister and friends grieving over him, never getting on with their lives.
A hand waved in front of his face, snapping him from his depressing thoughts. He looked up to see Nightlight staring back at him, his white eyes glowing with sympathy as if he had been listening to his thoughts. Jack gave him a small grateful smile before they both turned back to the coming up memory.
Jack was playing around in Germany (I'm sorry guys, people say he was in Germany, so I'm rolling with it.) icing over everything in sight. He crouched on to of a power box, grinning mischievously.
He tapped the end of his staff to it, frost instantly crawling over its surface. Jack flew off of it as it raced down the side and across the street as a car drove by. The frost continued to moved, crawling up a water found where a boy with a red beanie was about to take a drink of water. The water froze over, sticking his tongue to it.
"Wahh!?" He cries.
The brunette and blonde girls on either side of him looked shocked before giggling at his misfortune. Behind them a man holding a dozen or so boxes slipped on the ice, dropping them all.
Jack's laugh could be heard as the ice raced up a wall to a lit room. A small blond boy was sticking his finger in the bowl of a goldfish when the ice slipped under the winder and covered the bowl completely with frost, making the boy gasp in alarm.
The ice raced around the corner to another room, this time the window was open and a man was working on papers. A pigeon sat on the sill, but when the ice came it panicked and flew away, scattering the man's papers as he cried out in surprise.
The ice continued to spread over walls and windows, even over a clothes-line, covering the hanging clothes with the stuff.
Finally Jack could be seen scaling a large building with a circular dome on top. Once at the top he swung a full circle around the flag pole.
"Now that, that was fun." He says with a satisfied grin, he looked out over the city before looking at the open air. "Hey, Wind! Take me home!"
The wind instantly picked up, lifting Jack up like a snowflake and twirling him into the air.
He gave whops of glee as it twirled him around in dizzying ways, not that it bothered him at all.
He leveled him self out and flew across the sky, the Moon glowing brightly behind him.
The scene changed and Jack was falling out of the clouds towards a small town.
"Snow day!" He cheers.
He stops inches from the wind pulling him back up like a yoyo. He flew under a banner, barely missing a moving truck. He tapped his foot on the hood of a blue car, frost covering it in seconds, he ran along a wall frost covering the windows and signs.
"It's freezing!" A random man cries, but Jack takes no mind.
He lands on the side of a truck, then kicks off of it spinning horizontally to bounce of another wall before flying into the air.
Under Bunny's fur his skin was slightly green. "How do you do that mate? I thought the sleigh was horrible!"
Jack grinned and shrugged. "I'm just that good, I guess?"
North however looked offended at the sleigh part. "Sleigh is not horrible, everyone love the sleigh!"
Tooth and Jack pushed their attention back to the memory before they could start fighting.
He rode his staff like a snowboard before free falling towards his lake. Easily landing and gliding across it. The wind knocked a book out of a familiar brown haired boy's hands.
"Hey that's Jamie!" Tooth says excitedly, pointing to the brown eyed youth.
"Yep." Jack confirmed, smiling at the slight of his first believer.
Jack turned back around and looked at the book curiously. It was titled; Mysterious Times: They're Out There! Show a variety of different mythology creatures.
"Huh, that looks interesting.' He said as the boy picked it up and dusted it off. 'Good book?"
"All right" "Yeah!" Two voices shout in joy.
Twins, one wearing a green and black jersey and the other a red beanie ran up to the grin in excitement.
"Snow day!" The one in the jersey says as he punches the brown eyed boy on the arm.
The brunette looked around, likely for the strong wind that had tried to steal his book but shook it off as he grinned back at the twins.
"You're welcome." Jack says with a wave of his hand.
The boy raced after the other two. "Guys, wait up! Are you guys coming to the egg hunt Sunday?"
Jack decided to follow them and floated after them.
"Yea! Free candy!" The beanie wearing twin cheered.
"I hope we can find the eggs with all this snow!" The other joked.
They ran up a dirt path across a small street and to a nice sized two-story red house with a wood fence around it. They pulled a board lose and passed though the opening into the yard.
"It says here that they found Bigfoot samples and DNA in Michigan!' The boy had his nose in the book as he passed though, his brown eyes shining. The twins fighting behind him on who would pass though first. 'That's like super close!"
Jack landed on the fence and walked on it with cat like grace as he listened to the conversation.
The jersey twin rolled his eyes good naturedly. "Here we go again."
The boy put the book on the pouch and grabbed a red and brown sled laying next to it. "You saw the video too, Claude. He's out there!"
The beanie wearing one laughed, waving his fingers around. "That's what you said about aliens."
His brother shoved him, but he was laughing too. "And the Easter Bunny!"
Jack turned, his interest perking even more as he listened to the boy's answer.
The boy gave his friends a 'Duh!' look. "The Easter Bunny is real."
Jack grinned as he couldn't help but butt in. "Oh he's real alright. Real annoying, real grumpy and REALLY full of him self."
Bunny huffed as Jack and the others tried to snuffle their laughter.
"I have to admit though,' Jack confessed. 'You're not as bad as I use to think."
The two shared a smile, while the others watched with pleased looks before going back to watching.
Jack hoped off they fence and landed quietly on the ground.
Claude snorted, pushing his brother as they started to make their way to the front gate. "Come on! You guys will believe anything."
Then a little girl with choppy blond hair walked out the door with a gray hound behind her.
Her visible green eye lightened at the sound of the Easter Bunny. "Easter Bunny! Hop, hop, hop!"
She hoped down the steps but on the last one and she slips falling on her face.
The boy looked her over quickly but seeing noting hurt he turns his head to the house. "Mom, Sophie fell again!"
A brown haired woman came out of the house as Sophie sat up and started crying. "You okay, Soph?"
Jamie was about to leave when his mom called out. "Jamie, hat."
She walked up to him and blue hat with white fur around it on his head. "Don't want Jack Frost nipping at your nose."
Jamie looked confused. "Who's Jack Frost?"
"No one honey. It's just an expression." She replies as she walks back to the house.
Jack was staring at Jamie sadly before he heard what she had said, his expression turn offended. "Hey!"
Jamie shrugged and ran off after his friends. Jack hopped off the fence and picked up some snow in his hands, making a perfectly smooth snowball. "'Who's Jack Frost?'"
He blew on the ball and it glowed a light blue, a smirk growing on his lips. With 300 years of practice he pulled his arm back and throw the snowball towards the boys.
