Now, onto the final chapter!


Jack groaned as he woke up. After the battle with Aileen, Death had quickly cast his judgement upon the sprite and everyone had been taken to the Pole to get fixed up. Jack helped out, being one of the least injured and soon everyone had been taken care of. Jack had thought he was going to be questioned about what had gone on during that time, but so far no one had uttered a word about what he had become in the cave. And it had all been two almost three weeks ago and since then, there have been no questions and most of the others had been back to work.

What does he mean by most? Well, it hadn't taken long for Sandy to get back on his feet despite his stab wound and was happily delivering dreams once more. Bunny, who had only a few cuts but a very bad concussion, was relaxing in his Warren and using his own remedies to fix himself up. North had decided to stay by Tooth's side as she healed herself, now back up and running but still having to take it easy with her wound. Jack was just happy they were all ok.

As for the Angel's, the same couldn't be said for them. Jack had been joined by Camellia, Ian, and Yuki-onna to go to the ceremony they were holding for all the Angel's that had passed away. There was only a handful of them left. Ian and Camellia's wounds had healed up well enough, especially since Ian was a seasonal/elemental like Jack and had the help of his element to heal up.

As for Alissa and Mary? Well, let's just say it wasn't good. Mary's wound had been pretty bad, and add to that was would be a concussion. For the past two weeks, the blonde Angel had been asleep and Alissa hasn't left her side. It was sad to see.

Jack crawled out of his bad and headed down to the hospital wing to check on the two. He's been doing that since they had all been stitched up. He walked down to find Alissa sitting next to Mary's bed and holding her hand.

"Hey." Jack whispered to her.

Alissa didn't even look at him. "Hey."

"How you holding up?" He asked as walked up to stand next to her. She gave him a glare and he looked away. "Right, sorry, stupid question."

She sighed. "No…it's not stupid, you're worried." She looked back at Mary's still form. "I just want her to wake up."

"Well," Jack started, trying to lighten the mood. "She's not one to stay still for long. Besides, she always said she couldn't die, remember? Compared herself to a cat, saying no matter how many times she go curious and most likely died, she came back because she was satisfied."

Alissa gave a thin smile. "Yeah, I remember."

"We even changed the words to make it her instead of a cat." Jack laughed. "Remember instead of 'curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought it back' we would say, 'curiosity killed the Mary but satisfaction brought her back.'"

Alissa gave her own laugh at it.

"I'm going to go get something to eat, I'll bring you something back." He didn't wait for her reply as he left the room. As he walked through the Pole, he came to one of the lounges near the kitchen that he found North and Tooth in. He gave them a smile as he passed, and they each gave one in return. Jack walked into the kitchen and sighed. Today was going to be the first Guardian meeting after everything that had happened, and he didn't know what to expect. He was a little nervous but other than that, he just had to wait and see what would happen.

He brought Alissa food, which she took with a quiet 'thanks' and then he left to go to the meeting room.

He found Sandy and Bunny arriving just as he entered and he waved. "Hey guys."

Sandy gave a smile and a nod while Bunny grunted in return. They each took a seat and North began.

"So, how had everyone been doing?" He asked, letting his blue eyes travel over each of them. Sandy gave a thumbs up in his own way of saying he was fine.

"I'm alright." Bunny said. "Been resting for the past few days while working on my googies. Otherwise nothing new and I've been doing fine."

"I've pretty much been in the same boat as Bunny." Tooth chuckled. They all then looked over at Jack who sighed.

"Honestly, I'm doing fine." He said with a smile. "Just really, really, really tired. After everything, not only do I have my seasonal duties but as an Angel everything is trying to settle. Death is dealing with the other groups to explain the deaths of so many spirits leaving the rest of us to deal with the jobs."

The Guardians all flinched at the mention of what he and the other Angel's did. It hadn't been long for them to find out, especially with how they were worrying over him and everyone else's injuries. When he and the other Angels were called away for a job, the Guardians followed and had watched as he took the child's soul. They had all been shocked at what had been done and it had taken a while for them to accept the fact that Jack had to do this and even when they did they still didn't want to think that a Guardian had to do such things.

"Anything else?" Bunny pushed raising an eyebrow at Jack. "You don't feel angry or-"

"Stop." Jack said holding up his hand as he cut the other off. "If you're going to ask about what had happened back there then don't try and sugar-coat it. Just come straight out, ok?"

The Guardians all looked at each other before turning to their youngest and Tooth opened her mouth to speak. "Alright, then Jack, what was that back there? Why did you change and why into…him?"

They all knew who Jokul Frosti was, it was difficult to find a spirit who didn't. But the fact was that the winter spirit had long since vanished before Jack even came to be, so the fact that Jack just happened to turn into that particular spirit at that particular time was something to question.

"I-I had found out…that I was connected to the winter spirit before me after about 200 years." Jack began. "Something had snapped in me when I started as an Angel of Death and Jokul's…personality you could say broke out. Death helped me regain control and learn to control that part of me. After that, I never let him back out, I didn't want to risk hurting anyone. But…I knew that to at least subdue her, I would have to let him out."

"Is there a reason why you're connected with…him."

"Not that we can think of." It was silent fir a few minutes before Bunny spoke.

"You just keep getting weirder and weirder, Frostbite." There was a look of annoyance on his face but Jack could see mirth sparkling in his eyes.

Jack smirked. "You just wish you were as cool as me!"

"What, always be a walking snowman? Thanks but I'll pass." Bunny scoffed before he was hit in the face with a snowball. Bunny whipped the snow off his face before lunging at Jack who simply laughed and flew off. Tooth called after them to be careful while North and Sandy just laughed.

Jack may have some odd parts to his spirit responsibilities but that didn't mean the Guardians would leave him; not now and not ever. From off to the side, Alissa watched the Guardians spend time together, and she couldn't help but smile for Jack. At least he had four others who wouldn't leave his side.


That is that. A nice, short happy-ish ending. I hope you all loved this and that this was a nice short wrap up.

Feel free to comment and etc.

Until what ever I do next! :D
