Hi this is my first fanfiction. I am planning this to be an arc that I intend on finishing. Please review and tips/ story ideas would be much appreciated. Thank you and LOVe YOUUUUUU!
It was months after the final battle with Pitch. All seemed fine to all the other Gradians but Jack. But to understand what he feels we need to go the the beginning.
300 years ago
It was right after Jack rose from the lake and had his fun experimenting with his powers. When the little boy ran through him, he felt a since of dread. Nobody could see him. Talk to him. Nobody believed in him. He asked Man in Moon who he was, he replied
'Jack Frost'
"Why can't people see me?"
'Jack Frost'
"You already said that. What is my purpose being here, why can't I be seen, why?
'Jack Frost'
After he realized that he wasn't going to get anywhere, he walked away and accidentally froze a tree. It was this moment he realized he didn't know how to control his powers and as he became to be frightened, a small snow blizzard became to storm around him and the settlement at the time. As he ran through the forest he ran and ran for hours coming to the end of the town to a lake, he ran in a circle and collapse as exhaustion caught up to him.
200 years later
As the winter spirit walked around, he made it snow ever so lightly to introduce the winter in Burgess, his home town where he first awoke. He's always been asleep when the sun sets so he never saw Sandy (Sandman). This night though, he wanted to visit the now thriving village that was slowly turning into a small town as more people came looking for jobs and a place to find a family. it was 10 after midnight, he saw something and curiosity got the best of him and followed the brightly glowing gold sand, spreading to one child to the next. Jack was in awe as he saw this, only when he looked up, he saw the source of the sand, you would be him to be fascinated but Jack was scared. He ran the comfort of one of the trees by his lake he called home.
Sandy saw something running and when he blinked a few times he saw it was a child, no older the 15. Sandy thought about the boy, he knew he wasn't human as he saw his pale skin and snow-white hair, at that moment he knew he was a spirit that the Man in Moon must have chosen. He sent a dream to the boy that explained he was safe and that he was a Guardian. When Jack arose the next morning, he felt again. He began to feel depressed and it started to blizzard through the new town.
100 years before the Guardians talked to Jack
"please tell me!?" Jack begged as he was losing hope. Jack has been depressed and alone for 200 years. He didn't know who he was, where he was from, why nobody believed in him. He walked back to his lake that he has kept frozen sensed he 'woke up' from the ice. Before he could fall asleep, he noticed something in the shadows, he couldn't see what it was. As he dreamt of wonder and being seen by children, his dream turned into a nightmare, he woke in shock, his heat pounding, gasping got air. The nights and weeks following he had nightmare after nightmare after nightmare that he ended up not sleeping for 3 weeks strait.
As Jack was on the brink of collapse, he bump into Sandy, and that was the first time he actually spoke to someone in almost 300 years. Sandy saw he was refusing to sleep and when Jack frost rode it out as being too busy, Sandy saw he was lying and sprinkled dream sand on him. Hours past and the dream once again turned to a nightmare.
Present Day
After they defeated Pitch, they celebrated with a feast and catching up. Jack had stayed silent for most the night, speaking here and there. When they all decided to go home, they all said their good byes. When the mention of home was brought up, Sandy, Tooth, North, and Bunnymund all noticed that Jack because sad. At that moment they didn't do anything. Bunnymund, Sandy and tooth pretended to leave and waited in Bunny's tunnels till Jack was gone. When he was gone, they came out of hiding and started a discussion about Jack. During that time Sandy told everyone that Jack has had nightmares from what he has seen for nearly 200 years. That is when tooth asked," Where does Jack live? He has been to all of our homes but we have never been to his home."
"Ask Bunny, he was the one that found him second. Sorry sandy I don't know what you're saying." Norht replied to her question.
"I've bumped into Jack a couple times through the past 300 years, I've never seen him in a home or even a hut or cave. He is always in a tree, on the ground, or trying to get kids to believe in him." Bunnymund said.
As they all thought hard about where he could live, they looked at Sandy who had a picture of a house and an 'X'. Tooth gasped as she realized that he had no home.
Little to their knowledge Jack was still by the window he flew out of because he felt it was strange that Tooth and Sandy were going through Bunny's holes instead of them flying home. He heard everything, and that is also when he realized he really didn't have a 'home.' He flew to Burgess and he said it was his home, but deep down he knew he was lying to himself. As he drifted, he was again plagued by nightmare.
