It was cold where all the Guardians stood, a light breeze to them. Jack glanced around and remembered where this was. His old home. A small twinge made him start moving toward a house. The others frowned but followed. Inside was a man, sitting on a couch, looking toward the upstairs room then back down. Another man walked down and gave the first man a tired smile.

"Jacob, you can see them."

"Are they alright?!" Jacob asked softly, worry increasing.

"They're fine. You have a healthy wife and a beautiful baby boy." Jacob grinned and rushed up the stairs. On the bed was a pale yet smiling woman with bright caramel eyes and light blonde hair. She was holding a little bundle in her arms. Jacob rushed forward and peaked over at it. A little boy was sitting on the bed and looking at the baby.

"Daddy is Jackie!" The three year old smiled. The man ruffled the boy's hair affectionately and kissed his wife's forehead.

"How ya feeling love?"

"Tired, but happy."

"So his name is Jackson?" Jacob asked, smile on his face.

"Cody named him."

Jack winced as he looked at his older brother. He missed him so much and the last thing they did was fight. Bunny frowned and glanced at the Frost child before looking back at the memories.

"Did he? Well it's a wonderful." Cody beamed at his parents and then at his little brother.

"Jackson Thomas Overland."

The memory faded.

"Oh Jack you were so small!" Tooth exclaimed. Jack blushed and turned his head. Bunny laughed and ruffled his hair. The next memory started playing.

Jack looked to be two years old. He waddled to the where a five year old boy sat.

"Co'y!" Jack yelped at his brother. Cody jumped and looked to his little brother then smiled.

"Hi Jackie! What are you doing?"

"I pway you?"

Tooth awweed while Jack blushed.

"Sure! Let's go ask mommy and daddy." Cody jumped up and took his little brother's hand, dragging him to where their parents talked quietly.

"Mama! Can me and Jackie play outside?"

"Yes, but watch your brother! And don't forget to where your jackets!" Their mother called out. Jacob laughed before turning to Maria.

"Love, it's going to be very difficult, are you sure-"

"Yes! I am not letting any of them go." Maria said stubbornly. Jack tilted his head before he was dragged out the front door. Cody was playing with the snow and Jack giggled at the glowing white.

"Hey Jackie! Do you want to build a snowman?"If possible, Jack's eyes widened and he squealed with delight. Together the two brothers started rolling up really big snowballs and finally started putting it together. Cody suddenly swopped down, pulling his younger brother up making Jack giggle loudly and drew the face on the snow. Cody hugged Jack to his chest with a laugh as they stared up at the smiling snowman.

Jack subconsciously pulled the hood up. His big brother was just like his best friend, he was all he really had. The next memory started playing and it made Jack grin. Assuming this was a good memory, the other guardians looked up immediately.

Jack and his family were walking along the village. He was holding his older brothers hand, swinging it back and forth, giggling happily. They made it to a small house at the end of the lots, near the woods. A little girl with curly blonde and brown hair was sitting there playing with flowers. As they got closer, little Jack noticed she had flowers in her hair too. She suddenly turned to him, her green eyes seeming to shine in the light. Jack blushed a baby blush, eyes wide.

"Seems like you got a 'ittle crush, aye mate?" Bunny teased, making the winter spirit duck his head.

"Katie!" The little girl yelled, standing up, straightening her dress. Another young girl walked out, a little older then Cody and she gave them a small smile. A man walked behind her, their father, and he gave them a big smile.

"Hello."

"Hi, I'm Jacob. This is my wife and our two boys Cody and Jackson."

"Jack! J-A-C-K! Jack!" The young brunette huffed out. The little girl giggled at him making him puff out his chest with pride.

"I'm Conor and these are my daughters Lily and Katie." They both waved excitedly.

"My dad was one of the Heads of our village. He always greeted the new settlers." Jack explained. "They were the Woods, a new hunting family. They brought a lot of happiness to the town."

Katie and Cody sat a few feet away from Jack and Lily as she continued to make flower crowns.

"Where's your mommy?" Jack suddenly asked. Cody reached over and slapped him over the head making Jack yelp.

"It's ok, really!" Katie grinned as Jack pouted, rubbing his head.

"Our mommy is nature." Lily said softly. "She died protecting everything she loved. She is nature now."

"Mother Nature." Jack whispered. The guardians blinked in shock.

"I'm sorry."

"It's ok. She is happy so I am happy." Lily giggled. Jack smiled at her. Lily suddenly turned to him and put the flower crown she was working on, on his head. "You're my friend now." She declared. Katie and Cody burst into a fit of laughter at Jacks shocked face before he too joined in the laughter.

"That was one of my favorite memories. Lily became my best friend after that." The next memory started.

Jack was five years old. Lily was sitting next to him, in Cody's lap. The eight year old happily playing with the two younger ones. Katie was reading a children's book next to him, sounding out all the words and sometimes just making up the story. Jack was in the middle of his own story about a night and a princess and how he save her from the evil dragon. A few minutes later, Lily was fast asleep and Jack had his head on his brother's leg, next to her. Cody smiled at the two younger ones and then to Katie who blinked up at him and grinned, getting comfortable then going to sleep with Cody right behind her.

The guardians couldn't see anything wrong with this memory but Jack was tense and glared at the screen with narrowed eyes.

A dark figure approached the group of kids, an evil gleam in his eyes. Pitch Black looked younger then he was now and he was way more powerful. He looked down at Lily and smiled cruelly as she dreamed of the story Jack told her. Pitch leaned down and hit the dragon, smiling when it turned bigger and eviler, attacking everyone.

"What are you doing?" A small voice asked tiredly. Pitch turned to the small Jack, who was rubbing his eyes. "I don't think you should be here."

"You can see me? You fear me!" Pitch hissed. Jack just blinked at him.

"Leave Lily alone. She sleeping."

"Oh, she's sleeping." Pitch looked hard at the small boy. "You will be too." And shot a nightmare at Jack.

"Oh know…" Tooth whispered. Bunny was glaring, pulling Jack closer to his body. Jack huffed but let it be.

Jack was falling. He was in snow. He was alone. Jack looked around for his friends, family but saw darkness. He sniffed, putting on a brave face and continued to walk. He found his village but everything was on fire. The fire burned and people were screaming. He rushed trying to find anyone he knew, tears swelling in his eyes.

"Mama! Mama! Where are you! I promise to be a good boy! Mamma! Daddy! Please!" Little Jack screamed. A body moved closer to him. CODY!

"Cody!" Jack screamed but stopped as he saw his brother carrying someone. Lily. She was burnt, dead.

"Jack, look what you did. Your pranks went to far! People are dying!" Cody screamed. Jack whimpered, curling into himself. "Just leave Jack. You've done enough damage." And Cody walked through the smoke with Lily in his arms.

"Wait... Wait Cody! Cody don't leave me! Please! Don't go!"

Jack jerked awake, a small cry on his lips. He looked up and saw Cody, Lily and Katie looking at him worriedly. He launched himself into his older brother, sobbing in fear. Katie joined the hug while Lily looked around the room. She spotted the man in the corner and tilted her head before looking at Jack.

"Jackie." The small boy looked at her, eyes red and still full of fear. "It's ok to be scared. The dark is scary but thats when you need to bring in a little light." She giggled, smiling brightly at him.

"Look at her teeth!" Tooth squealed making three other guardians sush her.

"Do you member when you pushed Cody into Snow bank and then tree dropped snow on him because he was being a meanie?" Jack giggled while Cody huffed. The fear was slowly draining out of him.

"Do you want to hear a story?" Katie asked, a smile on her face. Lily sat next to her sister while Cody held jack, both looking up expectantly. The 12 year old smiled, getting ready.

"Have you ever heard about the Guardians?"
