III

In the dark bedroom that was Jamie's new room, he was sweating a little as he was tossing and turning; he'd shot up from his sleep- almost screaming- and was trying to catch his breath. The horrible memories of his parent's death was unbelievable, and was making him feel a little too uncomfortable for sleep. Strangely enough, Jamie decided to explore his new home a little bit, thinking that it'll take the horrific memories out of his head.

As Jamie walked out of his room, he felt a chill; he'd soon realized that it must've been coming from the room next to his- Jack's room. Jamie walks down the halls with a flashlight and a blanket wrapped around him. This places was big- very big; Jamie was wondering: If Jack Frost, Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, the Sandman, and the Boogieman excised, then maybe some strange fire-themed myth had brought the fire upon his house. Maybe it was a witch? No- too mythical.

The whole building was all in awe to Jamie- the place was big and full of many wondrous things! However, once Jamie had stepped into a room that was the library, a fire was cracking, and a certain Russian voice was heard, "I know when you're sleeping, and I know when you're awake. Shouldn't you be sleeping, Jamie?"

North gotten up from his large comfy chair, and looks down at him.

Jamie sighed, "I can't sleep..."

The expression on North's face went from strict, to sorrow. "Still can't get over the accident, huh?" Jamie nods.

"Look, I know we've all said this, like, a hundred times; but what Jack says is true: Things will get better for you, Jamie. Dot's right, they will..." North frowns as he looks down at Jamie, who's looking down at the floor; memories of what Jack had once told North had swelled up in his mind, and bends down in front of Jamie. "...You know...you should feel pretty lucky, know why?"

Jamie shakes his head as he still faces the ground.

"Because Jack understands what you're going through right now,"

All of the sudden, Jamie's head slowly snaps up and gazes at the jolly elf in front of his face. "Really? How so?"

North sighs a little, wondering if he should just quite telling him the story; but since he'd already started, might as well finish it. "When he died, he became Jack Frost- he missed his family. Jack's family never heard of him again, and they were too devastated. Once Jack's family had passed over the years, he's been alone, and he still misses them; but now he's got to watch over you, so you've filled his heart."

Jamie started to think about what the Santa Claus was telling him: Jack lost his family in some way the way he'd lost his! Which meant perfect sense that Jack's like him!

After thinking about it, Jamie smiles at North, and then gave him a hug. "Thank you, Santa!" He whispers.

North smiled and hugged him back. "Just call me 'Uncle North', Jamie,"

Jamie lets North go and gives him a questionable look, tilting his head in the process; he'd taken a step back, before saying, "What? Why would I call you my uncle?"

North smirked at the boy. "Because, Jamie: Jack is now your older brother; we're close friends, and we're all the uncles and aunt- Tooth Fairy- to Bunnymund's children. So...yup...you would be considered my new nephew."

Jamie's eyes widen with some happiness. Where things really getting better, like what Jack had told him?

"Jamie?" Says a tiring-sounding male voice.

Jamie turns to see Jack standing at the door way, wearing a plain-white T-shirt with blue boxers. Jack yawns again before he looks at him and notices North.

Wondering if Jamie wasn't feeling too swell again, Jack goes over towards Jamie and hugs him. "Oh Jamie, are you okay? Are you still not-"

"Jack...I'm fine now," Jamie states, trying to squeeze out of his new brother's grasps.

Jack's eyes widen a little before letting him go and taking a step back. "...What...?"

Jamie smiles at him.

"Because, Jack, San- I mean...Uncle North...was explaining to me about how you've lost your family too- in some way- so...I should be thankful that you're taking me in, and I'm glade to be the legendary Jack Frosts' little brother!" Jamie then hugs Jack again.

"Even thought I still miss them...I'll always have you Jack. I love you...new big brother..." Jamie then yawns before falling asleep.

Jack smiles and hugs his sleeping brother, "I love you too, little bro." He whispered into the sleeping Jamie's ear.

The winter spirit then picks Jamie up and carries him back into his room to place him down for bed. North smiles and puts out the fire, heading down to his room to go back to sleep.

This is a short chapter, I know, ALL the chaps have been short so far! -_-...
