A New Guardian of Frost

by kelseyphantomgirl

Hope is a young girl. The moon told North that SHE was a new guardian. Jack saved her from drowning into the ice, and stays with Jack. Hope tells Jack that her parents have perished because her nightmare came true. Now, Jack would be her real guardian and protect her from whatever may try to harm her. Will she find her center? Will she find her strength and overcome her nightmare?

5. Chapter 5

Hope snuggled against Jack's blue, frosty sweatshirt as they took the wind's ride home. "Jack..."

"Yes Hope?"
"Pitch is coming to get me... he is going to kill me in my dreams! But I have to sleep, or else I won't have any energy left! You and the guardians have to help me!"Hope cried as she cried in Jack's hood. "I will take care of that idiot once and for all. I will never let anything hurt you. You know that. Let's go talk to North,Tooth,Sandy, and the Easter Kangaroo. I think they will know what to do." Jack replied. The wind dropped Jack and Hope on the ground. All the guardians were staring at them. They especially looked at Hope's tearful face. "What happened?" asked Bunnymund. "Pitch is back AGAIN. He is trying to...you know what when Hope is asleep!" Jack said. Everyone gasped. "Oh no! We have to destroy him once and for all!" Tooth exclaimed. "What will we do with Hope then? She can't stay here alone." Bunnymund said. "I will help you guys. I know I just found my center a few months ago, but we guardians have to stick together." Hope said. North nodded. "But what about sleeping? You can't sleep!" Tooth asked. "Sandman?" Hope asked. Sandy made a thumbs up over his head. He swirled his magical sand on her. She then fell asleep on Jack's body. Jack chuckled as he picked her up. "We just can't leave her in your room Jack. How about all of us sleep together, so if Pitch comes, we will be ready. Jack nodded. The guardians followed Jack to the library. Jack figured since there was a fire to keep her warm. He set her down in one of the chairs. The guardians all watched her sleep. "She is so beautiful when she is asleep." said Tooth. "Look at the little ankle biter." added Bunnymund. "She is just like you Jack." North said. "Thanks North. Thank you." Jack lifted Hope up in his arms, and then sat in the chair with her. She snuggled up against his cold, but comforting body. Tooth sat in the other chair, and looked at Jack. Jack looked at Tooth and smiled. "You are a great parent Jack, even though you're like a brother to her."
"Thanks Tooth." Jack said. North fell asleep on the floor; Bunnymund as well. Sandy was at work making beautiful dreams for children all over the world. Jack soon fell asleep; Hope in his comforting arms. Even though he was made of frost, he was one of the best guardians in the world: a parental guardian.

In the middle of the night, Jack was woken up by the fire going out, and black dust filled the room. It was Pitch.
