"That was…" Tooth started.

"Almost terrifying to watch." Bunny finished for her.

The next memory came into view and it was nighttime again but they were outside in front of a fire that was just out back of a house.

May 19th, 1705

There were a bunch of young kids sitting around the fire. A few kids sat on the ground and a few more sat on a couple of barrels. One of the kids in the crowd the Guardians recognized as Emma. She looked a little bit older, but not by much. All the children's attention was focused on the ten year old Overland boys that seemed to be telling a story

One of the twins said, "So the boy crept through the forest, his bow in hand and an arrow notched, ready for anything that might attack. When suddenly… he heard a branch snap."

The twin who wasn't talking quickly picked up a stick and snapped it in half, causing the children to jump slightly.

The twin who had snapped the branch continued talking, his face eerily shadowed from the fire before him. "The boy lifted his bow, ready to shoot anyone and anything! He slowly turned in a circle, his heart racing in the darkness… and when he turned around…"

All the kids leaned forward in anticipation.

"There was a huge moose!" The other twin said said, a smile springing to his face as his brother put two antlers on his head and turned from the crowd, stomping his feet.

The children laughed and clapped. The twins faced the crowd and bowed at the same time, smiling and laughing.

The boy who had been holding the antlers said, "Alright, that's enough for tonight, it's time to go home now."

There were a bunch of 'awwws' and 'whys' but soon all kids were gone except for the three Overland siblings. The twins were throwing dirt into the fire to put it out, and then Emma walked over to one and said, "Jakoby!"

"Ha, so Jack was the one with the antlers!" North smiled.

"I wonder who they live with now." Tooth asked.

Sandy flashed through a bunch of images, translating to, "Probably somewhere nice since they seem so happy."

The siblings walked around to the front of the house, which was in town unlike their first, and walked inside. The first room they were in was the kitchen with a fireplace.

A large burly man, who looked drunk, stormed into the room. "Where the hell were you three!" His voice boomed.

Emma cowered away and tucked her head into Jakoby's neck.

Jack stepped forward and met the man's glare. "We were just out back of the house."

The man growled at Jack's proud attitude. "I told you I wanted you two and your brat sister inside by nightfall!" He said, looming over Jack.

But Jack didn't back down. He motioned for Jakoby and Emma to go upstairs, and they started to leave when the man's fist slammed into Jakoby's shoulder, sending him toppling over and Emma sprawled on the floor.

"Hey!" Jack yelled and went to punch the man in the face The man grabbed Jack's wrist, and the boy's eyes widened. The man punched Jack in the stomach and dropped him to the floor and proceeded to kick and stomp on the boy repeatedly.

Jakoby scrambled up, and grabbed Emma before she could see, then ran upstairs.

The man continued to curse and kick Jack while he screamed, holding his head as tears gushed out his eyes.

Tooth had tears flowing out of her eyes and she had to look away. North held out a hand to put on her shoulder as he watched expressionless. Bunny stared wide eyed at the scene, never realizing that this could have happened. Sandy was covering his ears, trying to block out the wailing child that he could never help.

Jakoby ran back down the stairs, a chunk of fire wood in his hand, and smacked it onto the man's head, knocking him unconscious.

He quickly helped Jack up and they both went upstairs. Jakoby laid Jack down on the floor, and started to check over him for broken bones. Jack was hyperventilating, gagging, coughing, and tears were pouring out of his and Jakoby's eyes.

"Jackie, shh it's- you're okay, Jackie!" Jakoby desperately tried to calm his brother. He leaned over jack and hugged him, holding him tight until he calmed down enough.

The two stayed sitting on the floor, Jakoby holding Jack in his arms, tears dried onto the boy's cheeks.

"Are you okay?" Jack whispered. "He hit you."

Jakoby nodded and let out a laugh, "Jack you were stomped on, I was only pushed." He pulled away and held Jack at arm's length.

The boys smiled at each other before letting go.

Jack sighed and looked over at Emma who was sound asleep in the only bed in the room. Jack sat on the side of the bed and stroked her hair. "Emma," He said. "I promise you will have a life better than this."

The memory faded out, leaving the Guardians speechless.

Nothing was said as the next memory started forming.

May 25th, 1705

Jack and Jakoby were in the woods, walking side by side with almost four year old Emma in front of them. She was running around, stopping every once in a while to look at something on the ground, but then got back up to look at something else.

"Hey Em," Jack said

Emma smiled up at Jack. "What?"

"Watch this!" Jack ran over to a tree and expertly climbed up it before hooking his knees on a branch and hanging upside down.

Emma laughed and clapped. "Get down from there Jack!" She said, but with a smile on her face.

"Why?" Jack said, crossing his arms. "Hey Jake, why don't you join me?"

Jakoby smiled and shook his head.

"You're not still afraid of heights are you?" Jack asked, climbing down from the tree.

Jakoby shrugged, "I don't like getting hurt."

Jack let out a dark laugh. "Why don't you tell that to David back at home?"

"It not that bad, Jack…" Jakoby said hesitantly.

Jack scoffed, "Then what's this?" He said, lifting up his shirt to show a nasty scar running across his chest.

Jakoby covered Emma's eyes.

"It's from a beer bottle shard, Jakoby, this is real." Jack said. He sighed, pulling his shirt back down. "We could leave, you know."

"Jack, you know why we can't do that." Jakoby said softly.

"Why leave?" Emma asked innocently.

Jack plastered a smile on his face. "Don't worry about it, Emma."

Emma walked over and held Jakoby and Jack's hands. "It gets better." She said, smiling cheekily.

Jakoby grinned at her. "You are wise beyond your years, Em."

Everything faded out, leaving the Guardians in the dark.

Then a new scene unraveled before their eyes.
