Hello! As promised-here is a new chapter! I tried to get it up sooner (I really did) but I've got to do the homework so that I don't fail the school and I don't end up being the hobo. Yea...I like cupcakes and I just ate one so...Anyway-to make up for the slightly short chapter and the late update *blush* I ask for two reviews. *smiles sheepishly* Anyway, the next chapter explains everything that confuses Jack and what most likely confuses you so, uh, yeah, review, please and enjoy!
Hiccup took a deep breath before starting to walk towards the house with his best friend right on his left while Jack lagged a little on his right. The trio reached the porch where the music majors were lounging and all heads turned to the auburn haired cripple.
"Oh, thank god," A red-head named Anna smiled from her place on the step next to her friend, Olaf, and boyfriend, Kristoff. "We were starting to think that you weren't going to come!"
Hiccup scoffed, "If I did, I'm pretty sure that at least one of you would drag me here." The statement was met without protest causing Hiccup to roll his eyes. "Anyway-"
"Who's he?" One of the more rebellious Omegas asked, twirling his ring that he had most likely (definitely) stolen.
"Who's who?" Hiccup laughed nervously, rubbing the back of his neck causing Astrid to discretely kick him. Although, since she was on his left, she kicked steel and ended up cussing under her breath as Hiccup struggled to remain upright.
Flynn didn't look impressed, but stood to make sure his friend wouldn't land in the mud. Jack stood off to the side, not particularly sure what to do. The most interaction Jack ever had with Omegas was making sure that his friends wouldn't beat them up too badly and then the two hours a day with Hiccup.
"You OK?" Flynn checked with a chuckle once it was sure that Hiccup was no longer falling.
"Yep." Hiccup groaned as he started up the stairs towards the front door. "I hate prosthetic limbs."
"You have a prosthetic limb?!" Jack exclaimed in shock, his eyes wide. How had he not noticed?!
Heads turned to Jack with facial expressions clearly stating that he was an idiot.
"Who are you anyway?" A dark haired boy named Aladdin asked.
"Oh? Him? That's my…cousin…Jackson. Jackson Underwater." Hiccup stuttered, quickly unlocking the door and opening it.
Jack struggled to not scrunch his nose at the name-Jackson Overwater? That was worse than Jackson Overland and he didn't think anything could get worse than his first name. Although Hiccup Haddock was worse than both.
Aladdin gave Jack a skeptical look, "And he didn't know you had a prosthetic leg?"
"I haven't seen him since I was…eight," Hiccup blatantly lied as he tried to usher everyone into the dilapidated home.
"Ignoring the obvious lies," A dark haired, dark eyed goth named Coraline drawled as she walked in, her boots clomping. She turned to Hiccup as he locked the door behind Jack, who made sure to stick close to him so as to not get questions aimed at. "He an Omega?"
"Do you see a tag?" Hiccup asked, his voice flat as she shook her head.
"Guess not," Coraline sighed, holding out a pale hand with dark nail polish. "Name's Coraline. Your Jackson?"
Jack took her hand and gave it a firm shake. "Just call me Jack." He was surprised at how he saw a shudder run down the tough looking girl's spine.
"No." Coraline said firmly. "You're definitely not from around here. Anyone says "Jack" or "Frost". Run. Fast."
The hell?! Jack exclaimed in his head. "Um…why?" He asked, trying to keep his curiosity down low.
"No reason." Hiccup laughed nervously, trying to break the two up. "Rec-"
"He's a jack ass." Flynn scoffed. He was leaned against a wall, his left foot placed on it. "And an Alpha."
"What's being an Alpha got to do with anything?" Jack asked, glaring at the thief.
Kicking of the wall, Flynn glared back at Jack. "Everything," he growled. "Don't they have Alphas where you come from, Underwater?" It took Jack a moment to remember that Underwater was the name that Hiccup had fabricated. "They're all bad. Jack Frost? He's the worst."
With a sigh, he got out of Jack's face, looking around the small house. "This house belongs to Overland family and they run a small restaurant next to the Rec center. They are also the best people I know. All that family does is give and give and give-money and food they don't even have. Somehow, a completely Omega family had an Alpha kid-screw genetics, eh?" Flynn shook his head. "One day, when he was in elementary school, I think, he ran off to go live with his successful, Beta "uncle" and never even thought to visit. Rumor says, that kid was Jack Frost. Now all he does is get Omegas beat up…" Taking a moment, Flynn hung his head before looking up again. "He almost got a little girl killed. Beat her up so bad that she couldn't skate home. Didn't have a bus pass with her or any money. Came from all Omega family, didn't have a cell phone. It was also late and the middle of winter."
"Luckily," Hiccup cut in, glaring slightly at Flynn. "Astrid, Flynn, Rapunzel and I found her before she froze." He gave Jack a reassuring grin. "She's OK." Turning to everyone, he raised his arms in exasperation. "Now, can we actually get to recording something, people?!"
His question was met with laughter as they started towards the basement. The only two left above ground were Astrid and Jack.
Jack stood there, shocked at what he had heard. He remembered the little girl, just vaguely. He was only about twelve at the time and the girl seemed about nine. It was around the time that he was still trying to fit in and the only way to fit in was to help beat up Omegas. That was the last time that he ever laid a violent hand on anyone and started quietly helping them. The things that Flynn talked about, however, were morphed. The section about him just leaving was completely wrong. He loved his family. He didn't want to leave, but he didn't have a choice. Also, he'd tried to come visit when he'd been placed in his godfather's home.
"Just so you know," Astrid growled on her way down. "That little girl was my sister."
