Title: Saved
I DON'T OWN ROTG
Guardians
They didn't know it, but before the guardians let him join them (more like forced him to join) Jack had been considering ending it.
Jack was sick of it. Trying to be nice to other spirits, only to be met with hostility or neglect. Playing with and bringing joy to kids, only never to be seen. He was sick of being ignored; sick of being alone.
Like the the beginning of his life, Jack was just going to give up.
Then the guardians came. Even though only one of them (Sandy) had ever shown him kindness, they welcomed him now. They treated him with kindness and respect. Not only that, but they were helping them to get believers.
Don't get him wrong, other spirits were still mean, and many kids walked right through him. The difference now was he had people to talk to now. He had children to play with, who could see him.
It was all he ever hoped and dreamed for.
The guardians saved him, without even knowing it.
