Guys I am so sorry I have not posted in a long time. It hurts me when I can't write and post because I know how irritating it is as a fellow fanfiction reader. But my computer decided to quit. It stopped doing anything and would not even let me turn it on. BUT I got a new laptop for Christmas. I am still trying to figure out how to work it and I just got Word today. So I am SOOOO sorry! Review and tell me off if you want to. Or you can review just to tell me how you feel about my story. Thank you, either way
Jack was jolted awake and sat up quickly with a gasp. He looked at Sandy; he must have made him fall asleep and have a dream... but that wasn't a dream and it definitely wasn't Sandy.
"Where is it?!" Jack shouted, jumping up and looking around. The others were confused
"Where is what?" Tooth asked gently
"I know it's in here somewhere" Jack said, ignoring the question. He saw a slight movement out of the corner of his eye and he rushed toward the movement
There it was, just like he knew. He shot a sharp shard of ice at the Nightmare in the corner and it exploded in a flash of black sand and blue ice
"How did that get in here?" Bunny asked. Jack didn't answer, he just went to the window
"I'll be back" he told the others before taking flight out of the window
Jack hesitated for a moment before going down the tunnel. There was no way Pitch was stupid enough to send a Nightmare into a room of Guardians. Which means the Nightmares have gone rogue. Jack was more calm this time, not shouting like he was last time he was here
"Pitch" Jack said calmly
"What do you want now?" Pitch asked, stepping out from the shadows
"I am going to destroy all the Nightmares" he told him
"But... you can't do that!" Pitch exclaimed, stepping forward several steps. Jack narrowed his eyes at him and he backed away again
"I can and I will. You've done what you've done for hundreds of years without the Nightmares and you can continue to do so without them. You actually have no choice in the matter, I am going to destroy all of them!" he told him firmly. Pitch put his head down and took another step back, back into the shadows
"Fine" he said
"Your fear still irritates me" Jack said to himself "Nobody is going to stop you from causing fear. There's nothing that can be done about it. Without fear, the Guardians have no purpose" Jack told Pitch. Pitch said nothing, but did give an understanding nod. Jack said nothing else before leaving.
"Jack! Are you okay?" Tooth asked as soon as she saw Jack come in the door
"Yeah... I'm fine. I have to go do something, though" he told them
"What are you going to do? We could help" Santa said, standing
"No, I don't think you could help" Jack told him
"Please... just tell us what you are doing" Tooth said
"...I'm going to destroy the Nightmares" Jack finally told them
"All of them?" Bunny asked
"Yes, all of them" he said. Sandy smiled and pointed to himself; he wanted to help "Sandy, we can't have something bad happening to you. I can do it myself" Jack told him
"And what if something happens to you?" Bunny asked
"… I'll be fine" Jack said, somewhat hesitantly
"Jack… please let us help you" Santa told him, placing his hand on his shoulder
"…fine… I want it done quickly" Jack told them. It wasn't long before they were all ready and in the sleigh.
"Think we got them all?" Bunny asked. They had been hunting down and destroying all the nightmares for a near full twenty four hours.
"No, I'm sure there are a few more" Jack told him "But we can get them after we've rested" he told them. The others agreed and they went back to Santa's workshop to get some sleep.
Or try to. Jack only slept a couple of hours before he woke and couldn't go back to sleep. He wanted to check on Jamie, to make sure he was okay. He actually had a very strong need to be sure Jamie was safe. So h quietly left the workshop and headed off to see Jamie
It was dark. And it was cold. And he was scared. He couldn't hear anything for a long time. He thought he heard a voice, but he couldn't be sure. The coldness had warmed some, but not enough. Then the beeping came and wouldn't stop
He was asked how he felt. He felt fine, if just a little cold. That was normal. He was asked how it happened. He couldn't tell them. He wasn't unable, but he knew he couldn't tell them. They said he may remain cold for a few hours, if not a day or two, but he was fine to go home.
But he wanted to go back to the pond. He wanted to see if Jack was still there. He didn't bother asked, however, because he knew it would never happen. He was going to be kept in the house for as long as possible. But maybe Jack would come see him
He was so excited and had never gotten out of bed so fast when he heard a quiet knock at his window. The Tooth Fairy came in and gave him a hug. As did Santa, The Sand Man, and the Easter Bunny… but not Jack. They didn't know where he had gone. They told him that it may be best to just leave him alone for a while
So he waited for a while. It felt like forever, especially since he couldn't go back outside to play with his friends or do something in the snow. He thought maybe it wasn't going to happen and he was just eluding himself…
It was dark. And it was cold. And he was scared. And it didn't go away. He stayed that way; cold, dark, and scared. If anything, it seemed to get colder, darker, and he became more scared. Was it ever going to go away? It was beginning to hurt…
A bright flash of blue woke him up. He sat up quickly and relished the warmth in the room. He looked over to his window… and saw Jack Frost with his staff aimed in the direction of the large smear of black and blue across one side of the room
"W-What… what was that?" he asked quietly, still shivering a little. He was still cold from the dream and he had never gotten quite as warm as he had been before falling through the ice
"I'm so sorry, Jamie. That was a nightmare. The guardians and I have been getting rid of the nightmares, but…" Jack looked down, he seemed ashamed
"It's not your fault, Jack" he told him. But Jack said nothing "Jack…?"
"I know how it feels…. It hurts… and it's very scary… and it's my fault that you went through it as well" Jack told him
"But Jack, you saved me!" Jamie insisted
"I wouldn't have had to save you if I hadn't caused you to fall" he was about to say more, but he saw the look on Jamie's face. He looked very sad, and like he might cry "Jamie, please don't cry" he told him, but that didn't stop the first tear from falling slowly down Jamie's cheek. Jack wanted nothing more than to comfort Jamie; to give him a hug. He sat on the edge of the bed next to Jamie and Jamie leaned over and hugged him tight. Jack couldn't help but to hug him back
"Sorry… I can only keep you cold" Jack told him
"I've been cold since I've been home… but I don't feel cold now" Jamie told him. Jack was surprised and didn't know what to say… so he said nothing "Thank you, Jack" Jamie whispered
"Will you, Jack Frost, vow to watch over the children of the world? Guard them with your life; their hopes, their wishes, and their dreams? For they are all that we have, all that we are, all that we will ever be?" Santa asked
"I will" Jack told him, with a large smile on his face. He glanced over at Jamie and he also wore a large smile
"Then, congratulations, Jack Frost, for you are and forever more… a guardian" Santa proclaimed. Everybody cheered and yelled in excitement while a small elf blew a loud fanfare. Jack was finally a guardian.
Jack caused a lot of fear. And that fear made adrenaline, which made it fun. He went all over the world, but like always ways he eventually made his way back to his pond… and Jamie. He and Jamie didn't speak anymore; Jamie was too old for Jack. But that didn't stop him from watching over him and making sure he was okay.
And then the day finally came. Jamie and his wife arrived home…. Carrying their little bundle. The guardians could not have been happier when Jack told them. But Jack was more excited about what was to come.
"It snowed! Daddy, it snowed! Can I play outside?" the little boy asked. Of course, his father said yes so he rushed around trying to find layers of clothes to put on. He ran outside and immediately plopped down in the snow and made a snow angel.
He waited for about ten minutes, as his father had always told him, before he went to the middle of the yard. He was old enough to try it, so he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said out loud
"Jack Frost" and slowly opened his eyes.
There he was. Just like his father had always told him. The young man with white hair, a staff, and bare feet in the ice cold snow. They smiled at each other
"Hi Jack!" he said. Jack was about to respond when they heard the door open.
"Jack, you forgot your hat, you don't want to get-" Jamie stopped midsentence when he saw Jack Frost. He hadn't seen him for years! He rushed over and gave him a hug. He was finally taller. Jack hugged him back tightly, he had missed him and didn't think Jamie had still believed in him
Jamie stepped away and then pulled his son to his side
"Jack… I'd like you to meet my son… Jack" Jamie told him with a large smile
"His name is…. You named him after me?" Jack asked, unbelieving
"Of course I did" Jamie told him. Before Jack could say anything, he was hit with a snowball… Jack.
