JF's POV

"He called you brother."

Jack looked up from the window towards North by his side.

"Harry... Banshee was turned before the new century." North nodded, sitting by his side. "It took some work for him to start seeing me with his eyes... he... this sweater was his gift to me."

"Vhy?"

"Because neither of us ever gets Christmas gifts." Jack replied and leaned against the windowsill, looking outside. "He was here with me on one of the times I tried to barge in... I didn't pass the Yetis, but he has a cloak to go invisible so he entered."

"Couple yearz ago?" Jack nodded, a sad smile showing on his face. "He did that?"

"He does anything I suggest as long as it makes me happy."

"Can you azk for him to ztop hurting zhildren?"

"He's not the one hurting children." Jack argued. "He's forced to do it... by Man in the Moon."

"How so?" Jack looked up at Tooth.

"When children are close to a worst death scenery he feels a pull. It eats at his insides growing more as the child grows weaker... I once made a child weak during a snow day. She was in her PJs out in the road with her brother. He was crying, rivers down his face as he approached the girl. He asked forgiveness over and over again as he touched her."

"Carla?" North asked, making the big two turn towards him.

"Yes." Jack agreed.

"Zo, he really vaz here in my office vhen I found out of her death..." North put a hand on his belly. "Ztill, zhe could've gotten a doctor. Zhe..."

"Sandy understood." Jack argued. "Harry knows the moment he feels their death is imminent exactly how they'll die. And it isn't fun and games. Carla, the girl, would die in a coma in less than a week coughing blood. Because I had put her there, so – technically – I killer her, not Harry."

Tooth hid her mouth with her hands.

"And we've been blaming him for the deaths..."

"He killed his family when he woke up." Jack put in. "Man in the Moon didn't have much time to turn him so he hurried up."

"And created a monster." Bunny snarled.

Jack stood and glared at Bunny.

"You created the monster. You and North and Tooth!"

"I'm not the one who kills people by touch!"

"You left him. Me? I was an immortal at 14, so I understand the neglect. You wouldn't keep coming for a child that would never grow up. But never attend a child since he was a baby?"
