My first EVER Rise of the Guardians fanfic, and I decided to jump on the whole Jack's Memory Watching bandwagon, as cliche as that is. I actually thought up some good ideas for it! Unfortunately, it includes bad language (SWEARING IS BAD KIDS! XD), self-harm, violence, abuse, character death, lots of stuff like that. May move up to M but I highly doubt it (because I've never written a smut scene yet! XD). Also, I have no idea what to do on accents so just read it like I'm actually getting it right!
Me: NOW, the... DISCLAIMER! JACK!
Jack: Really, after I hear all the sick stuff you thought up?
Me: *cackles manically* Oh, you haven't heard anything... YET!
Jack: And I don't want to!
Me: *pauses and thinks, OMG* Hmm... Well, I shouldn't be doing this anyway, I have several other fics going right now (albeit, drabble fics but fics none the less). Maybe I shouldn't do this...
Jack: *starts to panic* Wait! You mean you're abandoning this already, you haven't even written the chapter yet!
Me: *sees Jack panicking* Oh no Jackie, I won't ever leave you! *glomps*
Jack: DON'T CALL ME JACKIE! AND GET OFF ME!
Me: NOPE. I own you!
Jack: NO YOU DON'T! Leah Sora-Parker does NOT own the Rise of the Guardians!
Me: *unglomps* Thanks, that's all I wanted.
Seriously, enjoy~
Here's how to read it:
Normal text is what is happening to Jack and the other Guardians.
Italics are the memories.
*"We are too busy bringing Joy to children! We don't have time for... children!" -North*
Jack groaned, pressing the palms of his hands into his eyes, hoping that this was all just a nightmare, hoping that Pitch was back and it would be in his head. Wow. He never thought he would think that. There's a first time for everything. He peeked out between his fingers.
No. Still there. Damn.
"Do we really have to do this?" he asked, a bit of a whine creeping into his voice. North, Sandy, and Tooth gave him sympathetic glances while Bunny looked like he was trying really hard not to laugh. Jack sighed and turned back to the scene before him, his mind going back to moments earlier.
They had been summoned by MiM for a 'dire problem' and met up at North's workshop. There, MiM had told them that they were to relive Jack's memories to grow closer together. Of course, Jack had immediately objected but it was short lived as the moonlight flared brightly. He squeezed his eyes shut as the light grew to be too blinding, opening them to find that the image North's workshop was replaced with a picturesque cottage in the woods.
Jack recognized the cottage from his memories, paling as he did so. He remember the little ravine that Pitch threw him and Baby Tooth in, the rushed memories that he glimpsed. He didn't see all of them and the ones he did see were hazy at best, the most detailed one being of him saving his little sister. He was able to recognized the cottage, though, and he was pleadingly wishing that this was not happening.
He closed his eyes then opened them.
Nope. Still there. Damn.
He opened his mouth to object, or maybe just ask nicely, but was silenced as a scream resounded through the woods from the direction of the house. He was left behind as the other Guardians rushed to help, forgetting that they were in a memory. Jack sighed and made his way slowly to the little house, wincing as another scream echoed through the air. He stopped when he crashed into the backs of North and Bunny.
A women with dark brown hair and eyes was lying in a bed, convulsions racking her body. She gave one last scream as another one filled the room. The baby was laid down by his mother as his father came from the other room. He smiled down at her.
"What's his name?" the father asked, glancing over to the other tiny person on the bed. She smiled up at him.
"Jackson, Jackson Everett Overland."
Bunny laughed while Jack glared at him.
"What?" he demanded.
"Everett," Bunny chuckled. "It sounds like ah girl's name!" Jack blushed and looked away while the others silently laughed under their breath.
"Perfect," Jack's father said, taking his wife's hand in his. Suddenly, she gave a gasp as another convulsion took her. Hurriedly, the healer pushed Jack's father out of the room, ignoring the protests from the man. Jack's mother screamed again and the healer raced back to the bed. Another was on the way.
"What's-Hey! Tooth, move your hands!" Jack cried as said fairy covered his eyes, although, with the screams, he wasn't sure he wanted to see. When the screaming finally stopped, Tooth removed her hands and Jack saw another baby placed by himself. North, Sandy, and Bunny looked queasy.
"Michael Colt Overland and Jackson Everett Overland..." Jack's mother murmured to herself. "Welcome to the world."
And that is where I shall end it! I had always thought it would be interesting if Jack had a twin and it wouldn't go against the memories in the movie since we only saw the memories of when he was older. So Jack could very well have had some more siblings, we just didn't see them. Or at least, that's how I see it! XD I have plenty of ideas for this fic already (some having a tiny Bunny XD) but I'm happy to take requests as well! With that, I have nothing else to say other than: REVIEW! Because I won't update until I have at least 5! (LIE!)

Cookies, Love, and Peace Out!
