As you can see, I made this chapter more about Jamie and the Guardians than intended, NEXT Chapter will see Jamie's fist battle with the Guardians…..
Chapter Twelve: The Centre
Jamie frowned as he walked out of Jack's room. Today was the third day in a row he had fallen asleep next to Jack and awoken to find him missing. The first day he'd panicked only to be told by Tooth he'd had to go home to do 'Jack Stuff'.
Jamie still frowned at the expression, 'Jack Stuff', wondering what It meant he decided to try and follow Jack for the rest of the day, which had resulted in Jack searching for him the entire day. The Second day, he'd followed instructions left by Jack, Relax and Enjoy yourself!, So Jamie had spent the entire day with Sophie.
But today he'd get his answer's even if he had to bribe them out of another Guardian, he walked towards the globe room finding Jack with North both sitting in a chair, backs to him, he noticed that he could hear what they were saying,
"Come on Jack!" North called, "You've been avoiding him for days… he will be getting worried!"
"Its Just…. Something Bunny said" Jack replied, "I ruined their lives, if I hadn't gone to stay with them, then Jamie would still be alive and Sophie would have her brother still…. I ruined everything."
"Jack… Listen, you did great thing for Jamie, he is immortal know, and Sophie can enjoy life with us!" North replied,
"But she'll never have a proper family…. And its all down to me" Jack replied, standing up and walking off,
"Might as well come out little one, I know your there" North called to Jamie, who looked shocked before walking out of the doorway, "Come sit with me!"
Jamie nodded and sat down letting North smile at him, "What is troubling you?" North's word shocked Jamie out of his thoughts.
"It's just… I hate thinking that I'm making Jack unhappy" Jamie replied, looking at North
"Jamie Bennett Falkor!" North boomed, "You know that's not true, Jack cares more for you than his duty as Guardian!"
"But what he just said…." Jamie started,
"Is just the shadow of guilt, Would you still have gone to Fair without Jack?" North asked,
"Yeah…." Jamie asked,
"Then you would still have died, and Maybe Manny not make you immortal…. Meaning you not become Guardian and Sophie is sent to live with Parents" North replied,
"When will Jack realise that?" Jamie asked
"When you believe he will" North replied, smiling slighty at one of the words,
"That reminds me, North, I need help….. I can't work out my centre… is it possible I.. don't have one?" Jamie asked looking worried.
"Hmm, Very well…. What Makes you… you, That is what your centre is… so ask yourselves … what brought you to Guardians?" North asked,
"Jack did…" Jamie relied,
"No…. What made you special?" North asked,
"I was the first to see Jack… and the last believer in the world…." Jamie replied, North smiled and nodded, "But I was the first to believe in him…. Wait"
"Da?" North asked,
"Believe…. That word keeps appearing…." Jamie replied frowning in concentration, "My centre is believing….."
"DA!" North called out smiling widely, "You are known as Fabler*"
"I haven't heard of him…." Jamie frowned,
"The Fabler is the one who writes all the stories about The Immortals…. He is the one who makes people believe in them…. In themselves… his tales are passed to Sandy, who spreads them out to the world writers, who then write the stories, which are published and read to children… keeping the belief alive forever!" North told him,
"Jack and Bunny mentioned something about each Guardian uses a weapon, what is the Fabler's weapon?" Jamie asked,
"Hard to say….." North replied, "The Fabler uses his book most of all, to control the powers of the Immortal he is writing about…. So I would say his book is his weapon"
"So if I was writing about Bunny?" Jamie asked,
"You would Gain all of Bunny's powers for a short while…. Only Man In Moon is immune to Fablers power" North nodded
"So I could use Jack's power?" Jamie asked, thinking of all the fun he could have.
"You could, but I wouldn't…. Jack is very dangerous" North replied, "Lose control of emotions…. BOOM! Blizzard of 68' All over again"
"So Jack needs to keep calm all the time?" Jamie asked
"Only when holding staff" North replied smiling slightly,
Jamie nodded and stood up, "Not so fast!" North called,
Jamie sat down and watched as North's facial expression changed to deadly serious, "Jamie… you and Jack…."
"Don't say we can't go on… please…. I need him" Jamie told North
"Hmm, Not what I was going for" North replied, "I Am giving you my blessing to continue…. Guardians need it to keep by rules"
"Oh… I need to… go…. Find Jack" Jamie was a little shocked of North telling him he was happy with them being together
North nodded and Jamie jumped up, suddenly North passed him a parcel, and nodded, Jamie opened it up and smiled, a writing book. Which when he concentrated on it, followed him around, writing a grand tale of Jack Frost, protecting the Children of the World from the dark Pitch Black.
He found Jack blasting a Dummy inside the training room, alone.
"Jack" Jamie called and Jack looked around, Jamie could see Frozen tears on the floor around Jack and the signs pointed to the fact Jack had been crying for some time,
"Jamie i…. I ruined your life…." Jack told him, Jamie sighed and walked over pressing his lips to Jack's and taking his hand in his own Jamie whispered to him….
"I Don't care, now you are my life" Jamie smiled as he looked at Jack and Jack smiled,
"What about Sophie?" Jack asked,
"We'll work something out when she's 18" Jamie replied, "She can move to New York…. Start working as an Author for my stories… become rich and have a family, coming here for Christmas and Easter with her family"
"And how would she explain to her partner?" Jack asked a grin appearing on his face,
"Oh By the Way… My Brothers Immortal and Writes all this stuff, but you can't see him unless you believe in him" Jamie replied,
"And he's part of an immortal group called the Guardians, who protect Children against evil's like the Bogeyman" Jack added, the pair now laughing as they continued
"Oh and My Brothers Dating Jack Frost" Jamie finished smiling as Jack and he shared a laugh, waiting for the night to come as they watched Christmas draw ever closer, unaware the Guardian's had been watching them, all smiling as too was Manny.
And Scene!
