Jack Frost x Guardian!Reader

Chapter Seventeen

Jack and (Y/n) send a blast of ice and frost at Pitch as he barrels toward them. Pitch easily absorbs the attack with his Nightmare sand.

"That little trick doesn't work on me anymore." Jack's plan backfires as Pitch charges ahead and unleashes a roaring fury of Nightmare sand that knocks Jack and (Y/n) out of the sky.

Jamie and the Guardians do their best to avoid the patrolling Nightmares. North struggles to keep up. "Quick, this way this way!" Bunny leads them down an alley, but it's no use. "Dead end. Other way, other way!" Jack and (Y/n) suddenly fall from the sky, land on a dumpster, and fall limp to the ground, with a loud THUD! The others turn their attention and wince.

"Jack! (Y/n)!" They rush to Jack and help him to his feet.

"That was good try, Jack! (Y/n)! A for effort!"

Jack and (Y/n) were groaning in pain. "He's stronger. We can't beat him."

North and Tooth trade looks of concern. Then, a menacing chuckle. The Guardians keep a watchful eye as Nightmare shadow streaks across the alley.

"All this fuss over one little boy. And still, he refuses to stop believing."

A CRACK of Thunder reveals the shadow of an approaching Nightmare as the sounds of hooves clacking against the ground echoes from the opposite end of the alley.

"Very well. There are other ways to snuff out a light." Bulbs start bursting as the arm of a shadow moves across the remaining lights in the alley. Terror in Jamie's eyes. What does that mean?

"If you want him, you're gonna have to go through me!" With a finger raised, the shadow arm glides along the floor, curling around the back of Bunny.

Pitch was laughing, genuinely. "Look how fluffy you are! Would you like a scratch behind the ears?"

Bunny jumps back into North's arms. "Don't you even think about it!"

Pitch comes into view, riding atop Onyx. A gleeful smile strewn across his face. "I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see you all like this. You look awful." They are weak and defenseless. But still, the Guardians gather around Jamie, to shield him from whatever may come.

"Jack, (Y/n) I'm scared."

There's a sudden moment of realization. Jack and (Y/n) have heard these words before.

"Jack, I'm scared."

"(Y/n), I'm scared."

"I know, I know. But you're gonna be alright..."

Jack, and (Y/n) went wide-eyed.

"We're gonna have a little fun, instead." Jack and (Y/n) started. "That's it. That's our center." Jamie gives Jack and (Y/n) a questioning look. What does Jack have in mind? Pitch gets closer.

"So what do you think, Jamie? Do you believe in the Boogiema... BOOF!"

Two snowballs suddenly hit Pitch in the face. Two Nightmares look at each, unsure how to react. Jamie can't help but snicker and North lets out a chuckle. Jack and (Y/n) look around the alley. They spot a wooden crate, a trash can lid, and a discarded wok amidst a pile of trash. "Now let's go get your friends."

Pitch wipes the snow from his face and looks up to see a track of ice leading out of the alleyway. Jack, Y/n), Jamie, and the Guardians are gone. An aerial view of Burgess. The streets are empty and the city is quiet. Suddenly a streak of blue begins to materialize, making its way through the tranquil suburb.

A man walks his dog across an empty street when suddenly a cold wind blows behind him. Jack, (Y/n and Jamie come flying past, leaving a trail of ice in their wake. And on that ice the Guardians careen along in make-shift sleds. They are scared and thrilled, but they're having fun.

"Yeah! Come on!"

"Whoa! Cool!"

A terrified Cupcake lies in bed awake. The Guardians' reflections streak across the window when suddenly, BOOF! A snowball strikes the pane of glass. Cupcake pulls the covers down to find that it's suddenly snowing inside! As the snow circles around Cupcake's head, she sits up and smiles.

Pippa sits in bed amazed as it snows in her room. She hears a knock at her window and moves toward it to find Jamie floating outside. She throws open her window and looks down to the ground to reveal that they are two stories up.

"Jamie, how are you doing that?!"

"Jack Frost and (Y/n) Frost! Come on, we need your help!" Jamie takes off flying down the street, and as a snowflake lands on her nose she suddenly sees them.

"Hey is, is that?"

"Jack Frost!"

Pippa looks up to see Monty across the street with his head out the window and snow coming down in his room, a gaping smile across his face.

Caleb and Claude sit up in bed in amazement, staring at the snowflakes as they stream down from the ceiling. "Huh?!" THUD! The twins look down to find neatly wrapped gifts at the feet of their beds as a jolly voice bellows in the distance.

"Merry Christmas!" The twins open their window, amazed to see their heroes sled past.

"Happy Easter!"

"Don't forget to floss!"

Caleb looks to his brother, dumbfounded. Suddenly Cupcake skids past, laughing and screaming on her own sled.

"Cupcake?" And so it goes through the town.

"Yeah!"

"Jamie you were right! The Easter Bunny's real!"

"And the Tooth Fairy!"

"And Santa!"

"They're all real!"
