A God's Princess
Twelve: Celebration or Not
The sleigh finally arrived in the North Pole and Jack had to sigh. Everything felt so different, now she had more responsibilities. She was going to have to tell her family that. She wonders what Loki and Thor would tell her. When they arrived very well, Jack went down like the rest and there was silence but not an uncomfortable one either.
"Now we celebrate." North says and Tooth flies to his side and North holds her hand and they look at each other so nicely that Jack has to look away because Frigga and Odin looked at each other like that sometimes and it was a private moment. They all gather in the living room which is filled with large couches and a large hearth that is already creating a warm fire.
"Sit." North says and everyone rest. Star who got to the North Pole through the portals, she sits by Jacqueline's legs.
The Yeti's bring in some of the egg nog and cookies. Jack takes on and gives the cookie to Star who takes it pretty calmly.
"I'm very happy this is good." North says.
"I ma just glad we got rid of Pitch." Bunny says.
"Yeah, but we need to get back to work too." Tooth says. She is already ordering her fairies around getting everything in motion if a bit slowly.
They all eat and have a bit of fun, when its nighttime North tells them go to the guest rooms to stay the night. North and Tooth walk together before going to their bedroom. Sandy goes out because he has a job to do and it is the night already. Bunny and Jack stay as they walk to their rooms. Star is behind them and Bunny looks at Star before looking at Jack.
"Is she always with ya?" he asks her.
"Sometimes, not all the times." She tells him.
"I meant does she stay in your room." Bunny tells her.
"Oh, yes she does or sometimes she stays…" she was going to say the stable with Slepnir and the other horses but she doesn't. "Out." She says instead.
"Oh, so haw da ya feel?" Bunny asks her.
"Okay, still a bit overwhelmed." She tells him. They stand in-front of their doors and looked at each other. It isn't until Star touches her snout on Jack's shoulder. "So, goodnight Bunny."
"Goodnight Jacqueline." Bunny says with a smile. They go inside their rooms and Jack looked at Star.
"You know I was going to come in." she says and Star gives her this look that pretty much says 'Yeah, right.'
"Not funny let's go to sleep tomorrow we go home." She says with a smile. She closed her eyes and went to sleep.

Up in Olympus Zeus was sitting in his high chair and he had just heard the news. The news that the Bifrost had been destroyed in an accident he wasn't told all the details of the actions.
"Wait, but isn't Jacqueline on earth?" Hermes asked.
"Yes." Zeus told him.
"But Father she does not know." Athena said.
"There must be another way to get to Asgard that is not the Bifrost." Hermes said.
"There are my children; the Asgardian Princess has made quite the impression on both of you." Zeus told his children.
"She is quite the warrior." Athena told him.
"She is really good at tricks." Hermes told him. "So, we are going to help her right?"
"Of course."

In the morning Jacqueline was woken by someone knocking on the door. That wasn't right; she wasn't supposed to be going to a feast yet. She turned around and opened her eyes a bit to be face to face with an elf.
"Ah!" she screamed and fell on the ground. The elf ran out the door and Jack looked around.
"What?" she said. Than everything the past few days came back to her. She wasn't home she was at the North Pole; she got up and went to take a shower. She would have to wear the same clothes until she got to the Winter Forest so she would be able to change.
"Jacqueline." She looked up to see Tooth.
"Hi, Tooth." She said.
"Hey, sweetie come to breakfast we're waiting for you." Tooth said.
"Oh, my apologies I didn't mean for you and everyone else to eat late." Jacqueline told her. Tooth smile but there was something in Jack's tone that sounded incredibly royal. It surprised her but she knew the rumors some of them now she knew weren't true but maybe Jacqueline did live with Old Man Winter and that man had been a King before it would be normal for him to instill manner like that on Jacqueline.
"Don't worry about it sweetie come on." she told her. Jack grabbed her staff from the side of the bed and went to follow Tooth.
They arrived at the table and everyone was already getting ready to eat.
"Good morning Jack." North said.
"Good morning, North and everyone." she told him.
"Good morning." was the reply. Jack sat on one of the chairs and she was given a plate of pancakes.
"So, why you screamed?" North asks. "Bunny wanted to check on you."
"Oh, I just got scared by an elf." She told him.

When they finished breakfast and everyone was ready to leave to their place, North looked at Jack.
"Jacqueline a moment please." North said.
"Sure." Jack told him. North put a hand on her shoulder and smiled.
"I was wondering if you would want to stay here at the Pole."
"You want me to stay at the Pole?" Jack asked.
"Yes." North told her. Jack smiled at him.
"The offer is very kind, but I can't accept it." she told him. Everyone froze except for Sandy because he knew the reason Jack could not accept. Bunny couldn't believe she didn't want to live with North.
"Tis something wrong, with the offer?" North asked.
"No it's just, I already have a home and I really love it there." Jack told him.
"I understand, but you still have room here when needed." North told her.
"Thanks."
"Jacqueline is there something we can do before you go home?" Tooth asked.
"I…I would really like to look at my memories some more." She told her.
"Okay." Tooth said.
"I have empty room you can be there in private." North told her and she gave him a nod. They left her alone and Bunny came forward.
"Are you sure ya don't want to stay here Sheila?"
"Yes, I'll come when you need me, but I can't stay." She told him.
"Alright." He told her, but he didn't like it a bit, he didn't want Jack to be alone and they didn't really know much about her.

Jack went into the empty room with her memory box and she breathed in, because this was it, her memories were going to answer a lot of questions that she had. She sat down crossed legged on the floor with her staff on the ground and saw how the memory box began to light up.
(Memories)
The room was warm and to Jack it seemed that it was one of those few times it was, it was winter. On the large chair was a man with a bear and strong, he was sitting down, but Jack saw that there was a little girl sitting on his lap. She was little with brown hair and brown eyes; she was looking at the man with big eyes.
"Daddy tell me another story." The little girls said.
"Jacqueline I already told you all of them and their repeated." Her father told him and Jack had to hold in her tears this was her real dad.
"But their fun, I want to hear the one with Thor going to the wedding dressed like a girl to get his hammer." Little Jacqueline told him.
"Alright." Her father told him. Jack heard her father tell her the story and she just leaned on her staff before someone came forward.
"Jackson is time to take Jacqueline to bed." A woman with a round belly told her father.
"Ah, mommy one more."
"No, it's time for bed sweetie."
"Okay." Little Jacqueline told her and ran up to hug her belly and kiss it. "Goodnight, baby, night Mommy." Her mom kissed her.
"Goodnight sweetie." Little Jacqueline was suddenly picked up by her large father and she chuckled. She was put in a small bed and her father kissed her forehead.
"Night my princess may Thor and Loki protect you."
"They will, they always eat my muffins."
#
Jack was sucked into another memory and she looked to see that she was in the forest next to her lake. She was bending down and looking at the sky.
"Thor and Loki, I want to ask you to please protect my Mommy cause she is giving birth to my baby sister of brother.' Little Jacqueline said. "I brought you cupcakes." Little Jack left and the big one stay and she was going to go but saw Thor and Loki younger and they picked up the muffins and smiled the way her small self had gone to.
(Memories)
Jack gasped. Thor and Loki had known about her when she was little. She smiled and looked back at her box before getting ready for the next memories to come.
Outside Tooth and North with the rest of the Guardians were standing there.
"Do you think she's alright?" Tooth asks.
"Yes, many memories to see." North told her.
Back inside Jack breathed in.
(Memories)
Jack was outside and it was cold once again, this time a little girl was with her almost five years of age.
"Jack, the boys are going to get us."
"Don't worry Olivia they won't." Jack told her. She had a plan she had totally prayed for it and hope Loki would do her this favor. She had put him three cupcakes for it. Three boys were coming for them when they tripped into a pile of snow and the older Jacqueline could see Loki standing there before he made snow drop from the tree branches.
"See I told you." She told her sister. Olivia walked forward but Jack stayed behind and whispered. "Thank-you Loki." She said.
(Memories)
Jack had to laugh. She had always given them cupcakes and asked for things from them confident that they would protect her.
(Memories)
Jacqueline saw that he was older, she was her current age but she was crying.
"No, Daddy please." She begged.
"I'm sorry Jacqueline but you are old enough." Her father told her.
"But I don't want to get married." She told him. "Especially to George, he is the biggest meanest person ever to walk Midgard." Jacqueline told him.
"Jacqueline enough, George is a good man for you to marry."
"I'm not going to." Jacqueline told him.
"You will by Summer next year you will be his bride." Her father grabbed her shoulders. "It's for your own good."
Jacqueline moved from her Father's arms and ran; she ran ignoring her Father's calls and ran into the forest to her lake. She fell down on her knees and began to let her tears fall and she couldn't stop them, her body was shaking from them. She couldn't marry George, she didn't love him. She couldn't marry someone she didn't love.
"L…Lok...ki, T...Th…or." she sobbed out. "P…please don't let me…don't let me g…get ma...rried." She begged. The older Jack saw two figures get close and they touched her shoulder and comfort but her sobbing self couldn't sense it too lost in her tears.
(Memories)
Jack gasped. She touched her face and felt the tears there. She was going to get married, but she never got the chance to do so.
"Wow." She said. "I think this is enough." Jack got up and went outside. She smacked right into someone's chest. She looked up to see Bunny and he was looking at her.
"Why ya crying, Sheila?" he asked her, touching her cheek.
"I just, I saw a strong memory it's nothing Bunny don't worry." She told him. It felt weird, it felt kind of right. Jack shook her head and stepped back. "I'm going to return the box to Tooth is she still here?"
"Yes, she's with North." Bunny told her.
"Thanks." She said and went to fly over there. She found Tooth coming out of the office.
"Jacqueline!" she said.
"Tooth, I want to give you my memory box." She gave it to Tooth who looked at her.
"Are you done seeing the memories?" she asked her.
"Yes." She told her.
"Will you go now?" Tooth asked her.
"Yes."
"Wait, Jacqueline." She looked to see North standing there and he threw her a snow globe. "To make ride easier."
"Oh thank-you, okay um…Star." The wolf came forward and stood next to Jack. "To the Winter Forest." She whispered and threw the snow globe when it opened she waved at them good-bye.
#
She arrived at the Winter Forest and knew that Old Man Winter would be sleeping at the time and she was not going to bug him.
"Alright girl is time to go home." She said. "Heimdallr open the Bifrost." She waited a few moments and it didn't open. "Heimdallr?"
"You can't go home." Jack jumped and turned to see someone standing in the shadows.
