Snow Day

Chapter 4: A True Eye-Opener

"Pssst, psst Riley" she heard someone in the next cell whisper.

"Huh?" looking over she saw a pale figure, white spiky hair, a blue sweatshirt with ice around the trim of his collar, brown tattered shorts, and bare feet—he defiantly resembled that of Jack Frost but after being tricked once she couldn't be sure.

"Umm... Jack?"

"Yes?"

"You- you're the real Jack Frost aren't you?"

He blinked "The one and only! Why do you ask?"

"Well because, I- umm... I met-"

"Oh, you must've met my double ganger"

"Double ganger?"

"Yes, his name is Dark Jack Frost... and he's a part of an evil anti-guardianship; an evil group called The Dark Guardians Clan"

"The Dark Guardians Clan?"

"Yes, they consist if an Anti-Tooth Fairy known as Dark Tooth, an evil version of North known as Dark North or Krampus, and evil Bunny and Sandman known as Dark Bunny and Black Tornado"

"Wait! Have do you know all this? I thought Pitch whipped your memory?"

"Oh, he did—but our Tooth here is the Guardian of Memory and she figured out how to reverse the effects"

"Really? That's so cool and--" she cut off. "Guardian of Memory?"

"Oh, it's actually the Guardian of Memories"

"Either way, what is that?"

"The Guardian of Memories is Tooth' center"

"Ooh... what's a center?"

"A center is... something... inside yourself that defines you and you try hard to protect, share and spread"

"Oh... so that's what a center is?"

"Umm... I think so, that's the only way I know how to explain it anyway"

"Of course, all of us guardians here have centers"

"Oh really? What yours?"

"Mine? Oh, mine is... fun! I'm the Guardian of Fun"

"Hmmm... what type of fun?"

"Winter fun! You know sledding, snowball fights, you name it"

"Whoa cool!"

"North's center is wonder, Bunny's is hope and Sandy's is dreams"

"Oh, cool! So, is any of what the Anti-you said is true?"

"Depends, what did he tell you?"

"Well, first he told me about Emma... and how she's your sister..."

"Interesting, what else did he tell you?"

"Well, he also said that you saved her..."

"And did he tell you how I did it?"

"Oh yes... he told me that it all started one winter's day when you had taken her out with you to teach her to ice skate near a frozen pond close by... but then it began to crack not soon after setting foot on it; she ended up surviving through—with a little help from your stick..."

"What stick?"

"Well, he said that; long ago-- before that incident came about you found this odd-shaped stick... it looked to him... or you like something a shepherd would use so you kept it—luckily you had it with me that day... using it you talked her though the rescue saying that we were going to play a game... a game of hopscotch... you and her played it every day and you figured it would come in handy right then... anyway once you got close enough you used that shepherds stick to scoop her up and get her to safety... he also said that was the last time you ever saw her face..."
