(A/N: Here, there is something I actually have a bit of knowledge about. You'll probably enjoy reading this. Or maybe it'll give you feels. I know. It gave me some too with the alternative ending that I only own. Nothing else.)
Jackson Overland Frost
"Jack, I'm scared."
He looked on as the ice cracked under both their feet.
"Yeah, I know, I know, but…you're not gonna fall in. We're gonna have a little fun instead!"
"No, we're not!" Mary Overland screamed at her older brother.
She knew it was her fault that they were in this precarious situation. If only she hadn't wanted to skate so badly; she didn't even give him time to check if the ice would be thick enough to hold their weight!
"Would I trick you?"
"Yes! You always play tricks!"
Jackson Overland winced at the remark. Yes, he knew that was true, but he had to find an opening to get her off the ice. He had to, or else he would never live with himself.
"Alright, alright, but not this time," he reassured her. "This time, I promise, you're gonna be…" he found that he was breathless, and so was Mary, "…you're gonna be fine.
"You just have to believe in me."
Mary watched him with wide eyes, hoping that what he said would come true.
…It would, right?
In the end, Mary Overland had survived, all because of the act of bravery of her brother that would never go forgotten. But Jackson Overland was not so lucky. Almost right after he saved her, he fell in, and the last thing he saw before his brown eyes closed forever was an empty sky.
No Moon to greet him with its light.
Jack was supposed to become a guardian who played with snow and frost and gave children joy with every winter they had.
Instead, he was drowned in a cold lake, leaving his sister vulnerable against the monsters of the dark.
