North took the new guardian to the infirmary where he lay him down on one of the white beds and carefully removed his clothes. Tooth and Sandy bough snow in through the window knowing that as a winter spirit he would probably appreciate the cold slush. Bunny helped North with the medical procedure.

By morning they were finished, "most burns are only second degree and superficial, won't scar but very painful, a couple of fourth degree burns though, they very likely will scar, although I am hoping that because he was only created today his powers will do a better job at regenerating than usual," he said, "all we can do now is leave him to sleep, once he wakes up we will deal with any other problems this experience may have caused."

Tooth nodded, "I suppose we better to get back to work," she said to her fairies, "North, you will warn us as soon as he is awake?"

North nodded, "of course, I will use northern lights."

Three of the now five guardians returned to there duties, North decided to take a break from his own duties, trusting the yetis to sort things out, instead he sat by the new spirits side.

"You've had a hard first day..." he whispered, "but don't worry, now you are at North Pole, most wonderful place on Earth, under my protection, nobody will hurt child again," he grabbed the small kids hand, feeling the burnt skin, said child whimpered in his sleep, "you need time to recover, but after recovery I will show you good in world, not just bad like you see today."

Jack showed no signs of hearing him, but it didn't bother North, he loved children, and hated seeing them hurt at all. This child although spirit was no different in his eyes.

The days passed and the kid didn't wake up, he was still struggling to breath. He whimpered and cried in his sleep at times. North was becoming more and more worried. He had gotten him to drink some water while sleeping, but he needed to eat.

"Come on Jack, you can do it, I know you're stronger than you look," North whispered, holding the small boy's hand. But there was no reply, North sighed, "don't wait too long, okay?"

It was a couple more days before the winter spirits blue eyes opened once more, he whimpered in pain. It was dark and the kid couldn't see a thing, he didn't know what he was, all he could remember was the fire. Breathing became difficult as he remembered the fear. He forced himself to calm down as he realized he was still alive.

He looked around, slowly his eyes got used to the dark room, he could make out other beds nearby, a big open window from which snow was blown inside. The wind blew harder messing up his hair, the kid smiled, feeling safer. He saw his staff in a corner leaning against the wall. He considered trying to get it but as he moved a horrible pain ran though his body and suddenly he was conscious of the pain everywhere.

He looked down to see his body, it was red and black and hurt all over, the only places that didn't hurt, he could not feel at all. Which probably wasn't good. He didn't know what to do, he was hungry and thirsty. Tears began to fall down his face as the pain became too much for him.

The wind was the one to finally act, seeing her child's misery she tracked down North, he was asleep in his office, she used all her strength to blow the window open. This woke North up with a jump. He ran over to the window and closed it, picking up a couple of toys knocked to the floor, he sighed, leaving his office and deciding to check on Jack before going to his room to sleep.

He entered the infirmary, first he heard Jack crying and supposed he was having another nightmare, but on closer inspection he saw the child's eyes were open, and he looked panicked. Blue eyes met blue eyes and North stopped, quickly trying to make himself look smaller.

"Jack," he whispered.

Jack gasped and tried to move away from North, flinching as he failed to move without pain.

"It's okay, it's okay," North whispered, holding his hands out so Jack could see them, "I don't mean you any harm," he reassured.

Jack looked up at him with blue eyes, licking his lips he tried to speak but instead began to cough uncontrollably.

North was by his side within seconds, helping Jack to sit up as best he could without causing him immense pain and helping him to breath normally, "there you go, better?" North whispered.

Jack looked up at the big man next to him, his eyes were full of tears and North couldn't help but be reminded of a scared animal. Jack opened his mouth once more, "wh-" he tried to speak but again coughed, not as much as the previous time. North helped him once more.

"You are at the North Pole, I am North or Santa," he explained, "you are safe here, okay? But you are still weak and need to recover, stay here, I need to get you some water and food," North instructed lying the child down.

Jack gave a small grateful nod as North disappeared from the room, only to return moments later holding a large tray.

"I don't expect you to be able to eat all of this, even though it would be good for you, but I wasn't sure what you would want," he explained quietly, grabbing the glass of water, "you need to drink some more water first by the sound of your coughing," he said helping Jack to sit up and drink the water.

Jack drank the water quickly, gratefully, "t-thanks," he whispered as best he could with a shaky voice.

North smiled before grabbing a bowl and spoon, it looked like green mush, "I know it doesn't look good but your body will appreciate it, as soon as you are better we get you cookies for taste bugs," he said with a chuckle. Jack smiled, he liked this man, he may look scary but he was nice.

North fed Jack the mush, even though he tried to do it himself, North insisted that he should not move for the time being and let his body recover.

After leaving the room North remembered his promise to Tooth, and decided that first thing tomorrow he would call the other guardians over to see Jack.

As soon as North woke up he went over to the infirmary, Jack was already awake and concentrating on breathing. North made Jack some breakfast and fed it to him, "Jack..." he said after the kid had decided he couldn't eat any more.

Jack looked at North, showing he was listening.

"I know you probably don't want to see anybody else now, but it is kinda important," North began to explain, "I guess you don't know anything about the guardians?" he asked.

Jack shook his head.

"Well, the guardians are a series of spirits in charge of protecting the children of the world, we are powerful spirits, up until very recently there was four of us, Santa, the Tooth Fairy, the Sandman and the Easter Bunny."

Jack nodded, "I've heard stories," he whispered, or at least he supposed he had, he had no memories yet knew who all this people were in a child like way.

"Well, the Moon is in charge of choosing the guardians, recently he chose a new one, Jack."

"Why do you keep calling me that?" Jack asked quietly.

"Calling you what?" North asked surprised, "Jack?"

Jack nodded, "how do you know that is my name? I don't even know what my name is..."

North smiled, "the moon told me, Jack Frost, that is you."

Jack looked surprised, "the moon helped me out of the lake," Jack whispered.

North nodded, "the moon made you a spirit, Jack, it is what lets you use magic... although you weren't given much time to use it so far, the point is Jack, you were not meant to be just any spirit, you are meant to be a guardian," North explained.

"Oh..." Jack replied, he wasn't sure what to think about this, "so I protect children?" he asked.

North nodded, "I... I don't know how specifically, but you will, as soon as you are recovered we will figure it out, okay?"

Jack nodded, "so... visitors?" Jack asked bringing the conversation back to the beginning.

North chuckled, "well, as you can imagine, the other guardians are desperate to meet you and I promised I would let them as soon as you were awake."

Jack nodded, "okay... are they all like you?" Jack asked.

North shook his head, "we are all very different, but they are all nice and loving, don't worry about that."

Jack smiled and nodded, "I can't wait to meet them then," he said.

North smiled, "I have to go now, I will be back in no time, okay? If you need anything tell a yeti, okay?"

Jack nodded, "thank you," he whispered.

North smiled before leaving, he then went straight to the globe and activated the northern lights. Within a matter of minutes all the other guardians stood with North.

Tooth was the first to speak, "how is the child?" she asked, "has he woken up yet?"

North smiled and nodded, "I am glad to announce he is awake, he woke up last night, I had him eat and drink something before he went back to sleep, I spoke to him before calling you guys over and he is ready to meet you all."

Bunny crossed his arms, "he is speaking as well? You haven't been pushing him too hard North have you? He needs to recover."

North shook his head, "no, I have not even let him eat cookies yet, he is still eating yucky mushy stuff... he hasn't been speaking lots, just short sentences, mostly questions," he explained, "it would seem he was born with no memory," he said looking at Tooth.

"Well... if the Moon took his memories away from him perhaps we should leave it that way until he is ready," Tooth said looking up at the sky, "who knows what happened to him before he was Jack Frost, we probably should let him just be a spirit for now."

Sandy nodded, then showed an image of a snowflake, North nodded, "yes, I must take you guys to meet him, he is lovely child," he said proudly.

Soon all four guardians stood in the infirmary, "Jack," North spoke, the boy looked up shyly, hiding under the covers of the bed.

"This is Bunny, the Easter Bunny," Bunny stood to the back, letting the boy breath a little, he waved.

"Hiya mate," he whispered as if unsure weather he would scare the child.

"This is Sandy, the Sandman," he then pointed to Sandy who waved and smiled, "he cannot speak," North explained, "and finally this is Tooth," he pointed to the fairy who was flying over the bed looking very excited.

"Hiya!" she greeted happily, her smaller fairies flying over closer to take a closer look.

Jack managed to lift his hand so one of them could perch on it, "Baby Tooth?" he asked with a smile.

"Those are my fairies," Tooth explained with a smile, "they collect the teeth."

"There beautiful," he whispered looking at the particular fairy he was holding, she had two different coloured eyes and was the cutest thing ever.

Tooth smiled, looking at the other guardians. Bunny nodded, deciding the kid seemed like a good kid. Sandy knew from the get go he would like Jack. And North though he was the most wonderful kid in the world. There newest guardian would be a great addition.
