Whiteness blinded them. The cold that they had been feeling ever since touching the mirror disappeared along with the snowflakes in front of their vision. Slowly, a background of soft white faded into view with gentle shadows of blue mixed in. There was absolute silence, yet the ambiance of the place made it feel friendly. The group of Guardians spread out to look around.

"Something's wrong," Tooth flew around in a state of panic as the others stared curiously at her, "This should not have happened..."

"What shouldn't have happened?" Bunny asked as he stared at the fluttering fairy who didn't even pause in her muttering, "Uh...Tooth? Sheila?"

"TOOTHIANA," a loud, booming voice cut through the air when she still stayed in her trance. North immediately put his arm on her shoulder when her gaze became focused again, "Sorry Tooth, but it had to have been done."

"It's okay," she stated sheepishly as she blushed, "I shouldn't have gotten lost in my rambling."

"Speaking of ramblin', what was that about, mate?" Bunny questioned before she could continue her long-winded speech. Sandy agreed to the same inquiry with a nod of his head, and a sandy image of a question mark, mini Tooth, and snowflake mirror.

"Well," Tooth continued after smoothing down her feathers as if they were a dress, "We're not actually in Jack's memories."

"Vhat?"

"Excuse me?"

'How?'

Each of the three asked in their own individual ways. Before she could continue, the wind, which had been flowing around them, picked up speed. A flurry of white snowflakes floated towards them from out of nowhere. The hazy cloud of ice slowed down until it was right in front of the group. As it shifted, out came a human form that they knew so well, yet didn't know.

It was Jack...or, at least, they thought the figure was Jack Frost. His hair was much like usual except for the fact that it had chocolate brown swirled in it. Brown mixed in with the blue of his eyes, and when they glanced closer, they thought they saw a hint of green in them too. His skin looked very weird. It was an icy translucent shade that somehow looked a few shades tanner than normal. His clothes consisted of armor that was the same shade of blue as his hoodie and with dark brown pants without any shoes on. A cape was draped across his shoulders as if to make his whole outfit more complete. He was also wearing a crown of ice and small leaves.

"I think what Tooth was saying is that you're not watching my memories," the others stood gaping at the boy who simply smirked, "You are stuck in my head."

"What?!" They all shouted at once as they stared at the winter spirit.

Jack began to float around as he spread out his arms somewhat excitedly, "Welcome to the world of Jackson Overland Frost!"

The first to snap out of his trance was Bunny as he raised an eyebrow while looking to both sides, "Wow, no wonder ya aren't very smart. Your mind is blank."

"Nice to see you too, Kangaroo," Jack smiled as the rabbit's ears moved back and the pooka's arms were crossed over his chest with a murmur of not being a kangaroo.

"Jack, vhat is zis about?" North exclaimed as he walked up to the small Guardian of Fun.

"This is going to be tough to explain," Jack rubbed the back of his head tensely as he stared at the others, "I'm not actually your guys Jack."

Sandy signed a big question mark along with a mini Jack that split into multiple spirits of itself. Jack laughed cheerfully as he nodded his head, "You have it right, Sandman. I represent all of Jack's life. Everyone he was, I am. And so I will be your guide since I am the most organized and stable of all of us here. We have to get to the center of Jack's mind in order to leave. Let's go."

"Wait..." Tooth stood in front of the spirit, "What do you mean the most organized and stable of all of you? You should be the only one here."

"No, I am not the only one here," Jack beamed comfortably at the fairy, "There are more of Jack here. Much like how I embody his lives combined, they each are their own special area of Jack. Some might have his emotions while others will have his memories."

"But why are there so many of ya guys?" The pooka wondered out loud.

"Your Jack made us because he didn't want to be alone," Jack saw the group's flinch and reassured them, "It's not your fault that he was abandoned. He knows that and he doesn't blame you guys."

"I'm not so sure," Tooth cried out as her eyes began to sparkle, "He's been acting strangely today."

"That's not his fault," Jack's expression turned serious for the first time, "Something evil has infected his mind. We can all feel its presence here. It's slowly killing him from the inside. That's why we need to get to the center of his mind as soon as we can."

'Is it Pitch?' Sandy signed above his head.

Jack smiled sadly as he glanced at each of the Guardians before answering honestly, "No, it's someone much more dangerous."

"Who could be more dangerous zan Pitch?" North asked curiously with a tilt of his head.

"Someone from a long time ago." Before anyone could ask about his cynical answer, Jack whooped as he zipped into the air like a snowflake getting flown around in the wind. "Come on guys! No wonder Jack likes traveling with Wind. You guys are slow! We have to find Innocence now."

The group looked at each other as Jack took the lead. This was going to be a long journey. But hopefully, they could learn more about their family member named Jackson Overland Frost.

So I found out an amazing fact today about Jack. He was actually Nightlight, the guy who watched over Man in Moon. So I'm going to use that for my plot. Hope you enjoy and review!
