How to save a life

A bad memory

Jacklene's POV

Hiccup and I are in my bedroom. The colors are white with splashes of blue here and there. The furniture pieces are white and sometimes blue. I never really liked any other color.

Hiccup fell asleep in the chair next to my bed, funny. I thought he would have gone back to his room by now. I sigh and get of bed.

I walk out of my room and toward the workshop. I have my staff in hand and my other hand holding my side. I see Jack smiling as Jaime is here laughing and playing with the toys the yeti's built. The elves do their thing, 'helping' with the lights. I chuckle a little.

Jack looks in my direction, he smiles even brighter but then his expression turns serious. He says something to Jaime then flies over to me. "Jacklene, you're supposed to be in bed, what are you doing up?"

I look for an excuse, but I can't find one. "Okay, I got sick of being in bed. Hiccup fell asleep in the chair. I had no company. Do you mind taking him to your room? I know you guys share a room so, would you? The chair isn't that comfortable."

He stands there for a split second, "Yeah, uh, give me a second." He flies over to Jaime and talks to him. He points in my general direction and they look towards me. Am I supposed to wave? Look towards my bedroom? Jaime then looks back at Jack and nods.

Jack then flies back towards me. "Okay, I don't think Jaime has met you, I told him you were me from another dimension. I bet he'll love you. He's going to keep you company until I get Hiccup into the room."

"Okay. I'll stay here so I don't disturb you." He smiles, "Okay. Be right back." Jack walks down the hall and to the left to my room. I watch as long as I can before he's out of sight. I turn back around to see Jaime standing in front of me.

"Is your name Jack too?" He asks me. I giggle, "No, it's Jacklene. You must Jaime."

"Yeah, Jacklene, is it okay if I call you Jackie? It's shorter than Jacklene."

All of a sudden I can't breathe. I'm taken back to when I wasn't a Frost.

"Jackie! Don't take Jason too far onto the ice." My mother calls out from our little house by the lake. "It's beginning to melt. I don't want either of you to fall in."

"Okay, we'll be careful, honest." I say loud enough so she can hear. Then we head towards the lake. I make sure he has shoes on, which he does, then I step onto the ice with my bare feet. "Okay, slowly follow me."

Jason, my little brother, cautiously steps onto the lake. He slowly walks towards me and joins me in the middle of the lake. "Jackie, I'm scared. What if we fall through?" I smile, "We aren't going to fall through. If it can hold me it can you."

He looks up at me with those cute, innocent eyes of his, "What about both of us? Will it still hold?" He asks with the shaky voice. He's probably really scared.

Just then the ice cracks. "Okay, hurry to the shore, I'll wait 'till you get there to move. Hurry, please." He nods and starts walking, the ice slightly cracking with each small step.

"Take bigger steps, Jason. It'll be better, but don't push yourself, it wouldn't be good." He doesn't turn back but continues on his way with bigger steps. By a small chance, the ice makes a big crack where he stands. He freezes where he is. "Jackie, help me, I'm scared!" He turns to face me, his eyes plead for help.

"Stay there." I walk swiftly yet carefully over to him, I am but a few feet away from Jason when another crack from the ice emerges. He gasps and looks at me, another big crack, with a few more movements like that, he'll be in the ice in less than a second.

"Jason, don't move another inch. Try to stay as still as possible." A tear rolls down his cheek, "Hurry, I'm really scared."

"I know you're scared. So uh," I look on the ice, my staff lies a few inches from me. "Let's play a game, we're going to have fun, promise. I'll get you off the ice." I walk towards my staff and grab it. "Okay, you have to trust me on this okay?" Jason nods, another tear falls to the ice.

"Alright, we walk towards each other on my count. Ready?" He nods again. "Step towards me, Jason." He takes a cautious step, the ice cracks. He takes a shaking breath, "Jackie-"

"You're alright, keep going, another step." I reassure him, I take several steps toward him, I'm two feet in front if him, "Ready? Catch yourself." I take my staff and with the curved end of it, I pull him towards me, he swings away from the cracked ice. I fall and slide away from where he landed.

Jason looks up, his eyes fall on me. He smiles then looks down at the ice, then his expression turns to complete panic. I look down and see the cracks begin to grow, I look at Jason, will this be the last time I see him? I ask myself. To answer my question, the ice breaks and I fall into my watery grave. "Jackie! Jackie! Jaaaaaaaaackiiie!"

Jason, don't go. Jason.

I come back to the present, I lose my balance and hit the table behind me. "Jackie, are you okay?" Jaime touches my shoulder, I freak out a little and cover my mouth, surpressing a scream. Through a muffled hand I say, "Please. Please don't call me Jackie. It brings back painful memories." Jaime nods and goes to North.

I try to regain my breathing, but it doesn't work. It's a painful memory, I did not want to relive it again, but I did. North comes over to where I struggle to stand. "Are you alright? You don't look so good, you are sweating like a pig."

Before I know it I'm on the ground, looking up at everyone. Their voices are muffled, likely saying my name. Their faces begin to blur. I look to my left and see a figure running towards me.

A blurry face of Jack looks at me with a worried expression. He looks up at everyone else, then he picks me up, carrying me to someplace unknown to me.
