Well. This is it. The last chapter. I'm actually really happy with this ending, and I'm also thinking about starting a series of one-shots based on this story! Leave a reply if you want me to! Anyway, On with the final chapter!

Chapter 9

She saw his eyes were glowing a bright blue and the ice cracked loudly.

Backing away, she watched in awe as the form of her brother seemed to disappear in a blinding light, causing the entire group to come rushing back, Jamie almost slipping on the ice. The ice completely shattered over the spirit and another bright beam of moonlight lit up the entire lake. When it disappeared, the staff was laying next to Jack, who had sat up and was brushing off bits of ice.

"Jack!" Emma shouted, slipping and sliding across the ice as she hurried towards her brother. Jack looked up in time to see a brown blur slam into his chest. She began to sob into his sweatshirt and he wrapped his arms around her. "Shhh. Em, it's ok. I'm here. I'm right here." She continued to sob as the rest of the group gathered around, tears of joy in their eyes. Jack didn't look up, he just rubbed Emmas back reassuringly, trying to calm her down.

"I thought you were gone again. I thought that I had lost you all over again." Emma finally calmed down enough to talk. "You're not gonna lose me. I heard everything. I heard what everyone said. That's what gave me the strength to finally break out. I even heard Bunny beating the ice." Jack looked up at Bunny then. "Aww, you do care!" He teased, and that broke the bad mood and everyone started either laughing, cheering, or just smiling.

Jack got to his feet and was instantly enveloped in a group hug by all of the guardians and the family. Jack broke free from the hug and grabbed his staff, which instantly lit up with a light blue glow and snow began to gently fall over the whole town. It was not regular snow, though. It seemed to glow as it drifted in the wind, and every person it hit had a sudden urge to begin a snowball fight.

Everyone was laughing then until a snowball suddenly hit Mrs. Bennett in the face. She slowly wiped the snow off her face and saw Jack smirking at her, trying to appear innocent. She began to laugh and bent down to pick up some snow and threw one back at Jack, but he easily dodged it. Everyone else began to join in, and soon there was a full on war.

Jack stepped back and watched his friends and family laughing and having a great time. He felt a warm hand grip his cold one and looked down to see Emma. "You have another family now." Jack felt a stab of pain in his heart. "That doesn't matter right now. Because right now, you're here. When I fell through the ice, Manny - Man In Moon - made me the spirit of winter, but because I died, I lost my memories. I spent 300 years not knowing who I was. Then I was in Burgess one night and got shoved in a sack by some yetis. I finally get out only to find myself in the north pole. I met the guardians, fought Pitch, and got my memories back." Emma looked up at him.

"Why are you telling me this?" Jack chuckled and crouched down to her level. "Because my memories of you are what finally convinced me I was a guardian. When I saved you." She smiled at him, but then gasped and looked at her hands. She was dissolving into black mist. "Jack! What's happening!" She cried, beginning to panic. Jack also felt panic grip his chest, but he tried to push it down. Panicking now would not help his sister.

Her cry had drawn the attention of the others, and soon they were surrounded. "She is being sent back to the afterlife." Norths solemn voice caused Jack to look up. "What do you mean sent back! I just got her back!" Jack said, looking around the group. "There has to be some way to save her! I'm not losing her again!" Everyone cast their eyes down. "No There has to be something we can do!" He knelt down to her and hugged her. She was crying now and gripped his Jacket like it would keep her from fading.

"Jack, I don't want to leave. I wanna stay here with you." Suddenly the two siblings were covered in a bright moonbeam. Jack felt Emma raise into the air and he took a step back as she floated upwards, her hair blowing in a gentle breeze and her arms open as if embracing the world.

Her brown hair seemed to grow thicker and became slightly wavy. Her skin grew slightly paler and she opened her eyes to reveal they were no longer solid brown but had hints of red. She was lowered to the ground and looked around in confusion.

"You are a kind soul Emma. You have a new role in this world. You will take those who are ready to pass on to the afterlife. You will help protect those who wish to die and help them find a reason to live. You are the angel of death. You are more than the force that kills people. You give them peace. The past spirit did not understand that."

Emma looked at the moon and smiled. She felt a weight on her back and heard gasps of those behind her. She looked over her shoulder and saw beautiful black wings. They were that of a bird, large a graceful. She stretched them and pushed off the ground. She spun in the air and dived towards the ground, turning at the last second and spinning gracefully in the air.

She drifted back down and landed in front of Jack, then tackled him in a hug. He hugged her back. "What happened?" She pulled away from him. "He saved me." Jack at her in confusion, then realization struck him in the form of a bright moonbeam. "Manny? He saved you?" She nodded happily. "He said I'm the Angel of death. I help people who are ready to go, and protect those who aren't." Jack laughed happily and the rest of the group began to cheer.

Jack was still laughing happily until a snowball hit him directly on the side of the head. Everyone froze. NOBODY had EVER hit Jack in a snowball fight. Looking around, everyone gazes halted on Emma, who hurriedly hide another snowball behind her back. Jack waved his staff and a large lump of snow dropped on her head.

The huge group began grabbing snowballs and their war continued. The moon seemed to smile down upon them as their laughter could be heard faintly throughout the town of Burgess, but it was lost in all of the laughter coming from all of the other snowball fights happening throughout the entire town. Finally, Manny felt that his guardians were a true family.
