Jack's body has stopped healing hours ago. His cells stopping after his desperate attempt to crawl to the door. He wasn't responding to anything, even after North patched him up. His breathing was low but he barely looked alive. He was just lying there on the bed with no movement. But his mind was racing with memories.

~~~~~Jack's mind~~~~~

I stood there on the lake again. A girl was sitting on the lake with a single red rose in her hand. I smiled seeing that it was Emma. My sister. I watched as she placed the rose where the ice has frozed over. She turned around and saw me standing there.
"Finally," she said. "You show yourself." I looked around seeing no one was here but us. I pointed to myself.
"You can see me?" I ask.
She nodded. "I missed you Jack," she said. "I really missed you."
I smile at her. "You're my sister?" I ask.
She stood forward, a flash of light making me blind. When I could see again, she was a young teen. She brushed her hair back, running to me. Our bodies collided.
My gasp made me happy, feeling her solid body hugging me. I happily hugged back. I buried my head in her neck. My tears flowing uncontrollably. She rubbed my neck and hair comforting my sobbing face.
"You know the guardians are doing the same thing you are." She said, pulling me away to look face to face with her.
I sniffled. "You mean crying?" I asked, flipping my brown hair.
She nodded. "You're dead, Jack," she said lowly. "You are basically gone in that world."
I knitted my eyebrows in confusion. "What?" I asked. "I'm dead?"
She sucked in a deep breath. "Not unless you can remember. Remember who you are, Brother. You must remember." She said, stepping back. She had a tear fall onto her cheek before wiping it away.
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I stood there in the silence. Suddenly a giant wave of memories came crashing in. I remembered Easter of 68, Freezing my first water park, freezing a chicks tongue to a pole, getting kidnapped by North's little helpers, to losing Sandy... Then the incident with Pitch... What have I done? I put all of them through hell and forgetting who I am has made it worse.
I opened my eyes to see Emma standing there with bright eyes. She smiled. "Welcome back Jack." She said. I nodded. "I have to go back." I said.
She stood forward placing a hand on my shoulder. "You will. Give it time. They are mourning cause you might not make it. But I believe in you." She said.
I took a deep breath. I will come back. And when I do, Pitch will be sorry. I will make him regret his choices.
You know why?
Because I am Jack Frost.
