(With the guardians)
"Do ya see 'em?" Bunny leaned over the sleigh nervously, he didn't know where Jack was, and he was worried..like, getting onto the sleigh on his own will worried..and that was something!
"There! I think I see-" Tooth cut herself off, and gasped. Without hesitation, she flew like a bullet over to where North was driving the sleigh, grabbed the reins and turned the sleigh so sharply that Bunny would have fallen off-thankfully he didn't.
"Tooth! What are doing!?" North grabbed onto the sleigh frantically, Tooth was driving like a maniac.
"Ah see what the sheila was lookin' at.." Bunny spoke quietly, horror in his eyes, he pointed at what they were flying towards.
All the while..Sandy was asleep..
North looked where Bunny directed his fingers at, and grew pale. He saw Emma plummeting to the ground, and Jack flying after her, all the while Pitch cackling like a sadistic maniac.
"Head towards Pitch! Jack can take care of 'is sister, Ah say we head towards Pitch and show him what for!" Bunny declared angrily, rage was seeping off him, his paws-hands(?)-were clenched.
"Then away we go!" Tooth yelled, putting all her vigor into moving the sleigh through all the sharp turns, and now blocking the nightmares that were lingering around Pitch separate distances away.
(With Jack and Emma)
Jack's heart dropped ten stories when he saw the life slowly leave Emma's eyes. She started plummeting to the ground at breakneck speed, and he followed. His electric blue eyes were filling with tears, but he wouldn't let the dam break, he wouldn't shed them just yet.
Jack flew faster than he ever had-the wind furiously whipping around the boy-trying to keep up with his falling sister.
He was just inching closer to her in every passing second. Every moment seemed to slow, and soon everything was in slow motion.
Jack ignored everything that was happening, he honestly didn't care about anything right now except Emma, he didn't care about himself, Pitch, the guardians, or even MiM!
He flew faster and faster and he was close enough to tangle his icy fingers between her-nearly-lifeless hands and held them tight. Jack brought her closer and embraced her as they fell, the wind tried to slow their descent but they were already going too fast, and it was no use without Jack's staff.
But Jack didn't care.
"Emma, Emma are you there? Oh please Lord answer me! Please!" Jack felt pure agony.
Emma cracked her eyes open slowly, the old hazel of them pierced Jack where it hurt to remember, "Jack," her voice was soft.
"I'm sorry! I'm so so sorry! I should have been there!"
"Jack listen to me," she rested her shaky hands on Jacks cheeks, and wiped away the tears, "It wasn't your fault, I was no one's fault..just-just know," it was getting harder and harder for her to breather nonetheless talk.
"What? What is it?" Jack stumbled over his words.
Emma's eyes slowly started to close, but she muttered the three worlds that broke his heart.
"I..Love..You."
And her eyes closed, and she became limp in his arms.
He was careful while holding his sister, remembering when she was first brought into the world..as the dam broke..
(Flashback)
A five year old Jack with muddy brown hair, and bright hazel eyes stood in the hospital waiting room, holding his fathers hands tight.
After what seemed like hours, or even days, he and his father were allowed to go into the room with Jack's mother.
He peaked into the room, and saw his mother laying in a hospital bed, with a bundle of blankets in her arms. Jack looked closer and saw that in the blankets was a tiny baby.
"What's that?" Jack tugged at his father's shirt, and whispered.
"That's your new sister Jack, her name is Emma," his father whispered back and smiled gently.
Jack slowly walked over to his mothers side, and looked at the chubby baby with a mess of brown hair like his own.
"Can I hold her?" Jack asked, excitement in his eyes.
His mother nodded, and looked to his father.
Jack's father showed Jack how to hold her properly, and once he had done so, Jack sat on a nearby chair, and his father placed Emma in his arms.
Jack looked down at his new sister who was had opened her eyes, and giggled, it made Jack smile.
"I love her! Can I keep her?" He gave a giant bright smile.
"Of course you can Jack," his mother spoke gently.
Jack peered back down at Emma, and stroked her cheek, he leaned in closely, "Don't worry, I'll be an awesome brother, and I'll protect you!" Jack kissed the baby's forehead, and slowly rocked it to sleep like his father showed him how.
He would be the best big brother forever, and always protect his sister like he should.
(End Flashback)
As Jack felt a major sense of deja vu, he started to feel wetness on his cheeks. He looked at Emma lovingly, she was just like she was that fateful day at the pond, her dress was brown again, so were her eyes-he guessed-and her hair like always.
He landed softly on his feet at the base of the pond where they both had died. He was so busy putting his attention on Emma, he didn't notice the guardians and Pitch fighting.
He sat on the grass criss-crossed, holding Emma in his lap like when she was just born. Jack felt his heart tear itself apart, he was going through this again, except they had switched places.
He held her close and wept, he wept for her, for her parents, and for his family. Tears streaked down his cheeks without end, he held her tight and at this moment if anyone even tried to touch her, he would tear them to pieces and not feel the least bit sorry.
Jack was Emma's big brother, it was his job to protect her..and he failed.
His eyes were red, and he had ice frozen on his face from the tears, when he lowered Emma back down to his lap, and he wiped them on his sleeve. He kneeled down, and kissed her on the forehead, he would always do the same, through life and death. Jack was there when Emma was birthed into the world, and was there when she left it.
He lowered Emma onto the ground, and positioned her into a peaceful position. He carefully formed a rose of ice with such intricate detail, it was like a real live rose. He carefully placed the rose under her palms.
And he saw the last of her life leave.
Emma Overland, Daughter of Mr, and Ms Overland, and Sister of Jackson Overland, and more importantly, Sister of Jack Frost…
Was Dead.
(With the guardians)
No one knew exactly what had happened, but they knew it was bad, because snow, ice, wind, and rain was mixing together into a blizzard around Jack and Emma.
All the while, the guardians were full alert, and attacking Pitch.
"Pitch!" Tooth screamed, she saw the devastated look on his face, she had never seen it on him. The teen who was always happy, and pulling pranks on the others, laughing with them showed none of that, his face only showed fear, anger, deviation, and agony.
The others had seen him, and his emotions too had an impact on them. This was like nothing before, Pitch had done many bad things, but he had never gone so far as to killing someone, even an immortal, an immortal child nonetheless.
The guardians were giving it more than they ever had, this was for their youngest member who Pitch has maliciously destroyed from the inside.
"You are goin' ta pay for this!" Bunny shouted, he threw his boomerangs at the shadow mercilessly.
North slashed with his sabers, and Tooth viciously destroyed every nightmare that got in her way with ease.
Sandy who knew what had happened was the most angry of them all, he wiped his whips at Pitch himself, and cornered him onto a tree. The other guardians who were finished with the nightmares joined him.
The wind around them seemed to want to tear Pitch To pieces itself for hurting its precious child that it loved dearly.
The blizzard around them only worsened, and soon was tearing the leaves from the tree's.
"You went too far this time Pitch, you can antagonize, hurt, or even threat us all you want, but you never, NEVER, kill someone, especially a child!" North growled, a saber at Pitch's throat.
A very small part of Pitch knew that he had gone to far on this one, but the rest of him was as snarky as usual.
"So what!? You can't kill me! It's against your code!" Pitch sneered.
"We may not be able ta kill ya, but Ah think there's one person that is goin' to be very angry at ya fer breaking ta number one immortal law, and messing with her favorite elemental at ta least!" Bunny pointed directly at the middle of Pitch's eyes.
Almost on cue, the blizzard died down, and all the leaves that were blown off swirled around a few times, and when they died down, Mother Nature herself was standing there-also known as Pitch's daughter Seraphina.
And she certainly didn't look happy, in fact, every bit of her showed red hot fury.
With a flick of her wrists, this vines sprung up from the ground, and ensnared Pitch-who had a terrified look on his face-and pulled him down into the depths of the ground.
Seraphina's face went back to normal, "I believe I shall have to have a word with my father," she spat the word father like venom, "For now, my winter child needs comforting, he has gone through a great loss.." she turned to leave, but before the leaves completely dispersed and she was gone, she softly murmured, "Just find hope," and she was gone, along with Pitch.
The guardians turned to look at Jack, who was still kneeling by his sister's body in the middle of the pond, his eyes were clenched shut.
The other went to Jack-being cautious on the ice which was incredibly thin because of Jack emotional turmoil-and kneeled around the body of Emma, giving their respects to her.
Not a word was said, and none needed to be said.
