When the other Guradians arrived, minus Jack, they were all seated in the meeting room and were all wondering what this early meeting is for? And where is Jack?

"My fellow Guradians! Welcome to the monthly meeting." Bellowed North as he walked in with a plate of carrots and cookies with yetis behind him carrying drinks from eggnog to water.

"What's with the early meeting North?" Bunny said with a hint of annoyance. He was in the middle of mixing the dye in his river when he saw the Northern Lights go off, making him reluctantly leave the Warren.

"Yeah, and Jack? He isn't here yet. Is he alright?" said Tooth as she flitted here and there with mini fairies buzzing with her as she flew. She was in the middle of counting canisters of teeth when she was called by the Northern Lights from her work. And now that she is here, she is worried that something happened to Jack.

"He's the reason why I called you all here today." Said North as he took a seat next to Sandy, "I gathered some heart dropping news that I have never heard about before." He paused for a dramatic atmosphere to settle in, "I found out that Jack never was chosen by Manny to become Jack Frost."

Silent then, "What? That's not possible. Every immortal was chosen by Manny at one point in their life. How was Jack not chosen and is still here after 300 years?" Bunny said with disbelief in his voice. It simply was not possible for an immortal to be chosen, without being chosen!

"I know, and when I asked, he said he died before Manny had the chance. I still got no idea on how. That's where you guys come in. I need your help on solving this mystery." Said North, he explained everything that went down in the office, the questions and the answers.

When he was done, no one had any clue on what to do. They didn't have the answer because this particular problem never happened before. They were all people once, but they never died before. So they have no idea of what Jack must be feeling.

"Poor sweet tooth." Was all Tooth could mutter. And with that, they all fell silent to think on what to do next.

After flying from the Work Shop, Jack made his way to Burgess, the only town he ever known. It was where he lived in his past life and where he died. Even his first believers lived there. The whole town felt comfortable to him, a nice place to live.

When Jack touched down, he walked to the nearest place he could think of, The Burgess Church. He didn't know why the Church gave him a sense of comfort; all he knew is that it was a Holy Temple for those to learn about God and Jesus, the Bible and how to become closer to Him.

With that knowledge, Jack visited every Church session, read the Holy Bible so many times, he couldn't count, and prayed at least every day before he went to sleep. And at times when he couldn't deal with the world, he would always visit the Church. Even though the Pastor or the guests couldn't see him, he always went.

As Jack walked down the aisles of benched chairs that faced the stage where Farther Jim always preached, he breathed deeply and held it for a second before letting go. Taking a seat at the front of the benches, the small Church had a deep smell that always cheered Jack up. He felt at peace here.

After a time of sitting and staring up at the stainless glass picture of Jesus on the Cross, he bowed his head and prayed for those he cared about. He prayed anything and everything that came to his mind, and when he finished, he saw a shimmering glow that was 10 feet away from him. He watched it for three second that felt like minutes before it vanished.

He never knew what that glimmer was. The first time he ever prayed and the glimmer appeared, he thought he was dreaming, making up false things from the years of being alone, but as the times he prayed increased, the more he knew he wasn't making it up. And he came to terms to like seeing the glimmer, even giving it a name, "The Watcher." Since he only see the glimmer when he prayed, it reminded him of someone watching over him, protecting him while he prayed and protect him from danger. It was a nice thought to think about.

Looking up to the window to see the moon already out and shining through the window and onto his face, Jack had prayed well into the night, knowing he needed to sleep.

Making himself comfortable in the hard wooded bench, Jack closed his eyes, knowing he would be watched over through the night.

"I got it! We can ask other Immortals about how they came to be. That way we can know Jack's not the only one." Tooth said. It was well past 9 o' clock and they have been passing suggestions around for hours now.

"No, it'll take too long. We need answers now!" Bunny said frustrated. Sandy nodded as an agreement to Bunny.

With a huff, Tooth settled in her seat, downcast. "Oh, this is useless! We'll never find out. Why are we still here?" she exclaimed. She was getting tired of the back and forth tossing of no good suggestions; she just wanted to know the answers right at that moment!

Everyone mumbled agreements and they all started to stand to leave for the day, when a brilliant moon ray shined through the sky roof and on to the middle of the table, Manny had arrived.

"It's about time you got here!" Bunny exclaimed, "We were all about to leave!"

There was silent at first, and then a deep, rich voice that sounded like it would belong to a well- respected man said, "My fellow Guradians, I have heard you learned about how Jack Frost came to be. And you are concerned."

"Yes, Manny, we are. We need help to find out how he is so different compared to us." North said as he and the others took their seats again.

"Yes, I believe you have many questions, but to answer to answer them, I'll just have to show you the memory of how Jack Frost came to be." And before the Guradians could answer, they were thrown into a bright shining light, and landed in the middle of woods.

There was snow on the ground that looked nowhere near as fluffy and white as the snow Jack made now. This snow had to shine to it, no fluff to the feel; it was all ice and cold. And from this information, they knew it was a time before Jack came around.

There was a cabin with a lake nearby and as they watched, they see the door fly open with a little girl with brown hair and brown eyes pulling as hard as she could on the arm of a boy just a little taller than she was, and with the same hair and eye color.

"Come on Jack! We need to hurry!" the little girl said as they made their way out the door.

A women with the same hair and eye color as the kids made her way to the door and shouted, "Be careful Jack, Emily!" And with that the children cried, "We will!"

The whole way to the lake, Jack laughed as his sister pulled and shouted for him to hurry up. The laughter filled the Guardian's hearts with Joy. How could he die like this?

When they made it to the lake, they sat on a rock and pulled on roller skates to glide on the ice. Once they did, they carefully tested the ice to make sure it was safe to do tricks, and in Jack's case, become a daredevil.

Once the ice was checked out, they skated in circles without a care in the whole; doing spins and twirls in the air and landing gracefully. Emily was having trouble from not skating in a while, but Jack was an expert who would still skate in the summer when their skates were meant for ice, not gravel, but he didn't care, not now, not ever.

As Emily goes to twirl in the air, she landed wrong and a loud crack filled the air that was once so full of fun, which was now full of panic.

The crack in the ice was so massive; it spread from Emily's feet to well past Jack who was at least 5 feet away.

With Jack's fast thinking, he slowly took off his skates to avoid cracking the ice more and went down to a crouching position. "It's okay, it's okay. You're okay." Jack said in a hushed tone that he hoped could calm Emily down.

"Jack, I'm scared." Emily gasped out. Her breathing came out short and fast from terror, her body shook with the knowledge of never making it to land.

"I know, I know, but don't be, okay. Everything, everything will be alright, you just got to believe in me." Jack said, and suddenly he stood bolt upright, "Say, you want to have some fun?"

"No!" Emily cried, "We're not!" she was scared, scared for her life and her brothers.

"Yes, yes we will. We can play hopscotch, just like what we play every day!" he said, he was trying so hard to make the tension in the air lessen. He was scared too, he didn't want to loss Emily, she was only ten! Too young, they both were, at 14, Jack didn't know much about the world himself. "It's as easy as, one" with that, Jack took a step towards Emily, while doing so, he pretended to slip and wave his arm everywhere, earning a pained giggle from Emily. "Two," that time he took a step to the side of Emily, towards a nice thick patch of soild, uncracked ice. "Three!" And he jump to safety on the ice.

Looking around, he saw a crooked stick on the ground inches beside him, Perfect! Picking it up, he pointed it at Emily and said, "Now it's your turn!" and with that she did the same thing Jack did. With each step, the ice grow wider, and at the very last number, Emily jumped while Jack hooked her with the crook of the stick a tossed her 10 feet away to another patch of soild ice, but in the process, flinging himself in the same spot Emily once stood, shaking in fear.

For one happy second, they thought everything was okay, they were alright, but then the ice broke from under Jack's feet and he went under, never to come back up. For three months, Jack's body lay frozen at the bottom of the lake until summer came around to warm up the water enough for the town to finally put him to rest. And for years, everyone was sad from the tragic death of the happiest kid to ever live at a time like that.

But finally, after five years, winter was at its highest, the lake was frozen over and snow covered the ground, Jack Frost finally raised from the icy waters to become the new winter spirit, the first to bring joy to the element and the once needed fluff and whiteness was finally added to the ingredients to a beautiful winter.

The Guradians were back at in the meeting room, but Manny was gone and all noise in the Work Shop didn't exist at the moment. They finally understood, all the pieces fell in place, all they have to find out is, where did Jack go for all those years?
