Author's note

I borrowed some plot elements from the movie Rise of the Guardians, but Jack is not completely based on the character from that movie. I threw in some of my own ideas as well. This is not a Once Upon a Time and Rise of the Guardians crossover.

Jack is immortal, she has a dark blue hooded sweatshirt with frost on it, she is fun-loving, and she is a winter spirit, but that is where the similarities between her and the character from Rise of the Guardians end. She has a brother instead of a sister, she can't fly, she doesn't have a wooden staff, she is brought back to life by the Greek gods rather than the Man in the Moon, and she does not require belief in order to be seen. Everyone can see her.

Jacqueline Frost and her younger brother, Matthew, were born to Oliver and Elizabeth Frost and lived in a village in the Enchanted Forest. They were ordinary people and lived ordinary lives.

Jack insisted on being called Jack. She hated being called Jacqueline.

When Jack was 15 and Matthew was 10, he wanted to go ice skating, and she went with him because she didn't think that was safe for him to go alone. They didn't know how thin the ice was until it started to crack.

"It's okay, Matthew." Jack said. "Don't look down. Just look at me."

Jack had fair skin and blue eyes. Her curly whitish-blonde hair was parted in the middle and reached her chest. She was 5 foot 2. She had a slim build. She was wearing brown elbow-length wool gloves, a white long-sleeved blouse with a smocked elastic waistline and a v-shaped neckline with a double layered ruffle trim, a brown floor-length skirt, and a brown hooded cloak that was made of wool and reached a few inches above her knees. The hood was down.

Jack was kind, caring, friendly, and compassionate. She would be willing to make sacrifices for those she cared about. She had a soft spot for children and liked to have snowball fights with them. She always won snowball fights. No one ever beat her. She was gentle and generous, but she also had a mischievous side. She frequently played tricks on people. Her tricks were harmless. She enjoyed telling jokes and making people laugh. She was fun-loving and sometimes acted like a child trapped in the body of a teenager.

Jack slowly reached down and removed the second of two ice skates, leaving her barefoot on the surface of the frozen pond.

Matthew stood in his ice skates, rooted to the spot. A spider's web of cracks emanated from where he stood.

"Jack, I'm scared," Matthew whimpered. The ice below him splintered some more. He wobbled as it started to separate.

Matthew had fair skin, brown eyes, and short, straight brown hair. He was wearing brown elbow-length wool gloves, a white linen shirt with long sleeves and a collar with long pointy edges tucked into brown pants, a brown wool vest with three buttons, a black leather belt with a silver rectangular buckle, and a brown hooded cloak that was made of wool and reached a few inches above his knees. The hood was down.

Matthew looked like Oliver. Jack looked like Elizabeth.

"I know, I know, but you're going to be all right. You're not going to fall in. We're going to have a little fun instead." Jack said.

"No, we're not!" Matthew yelled.

"Would I trick you?" Jack asked.

Matthew was fighting back tears. "Yes! You love to play tricks!"

"I won't play tricks on you this time, I promise. You're going to be fine. You have to trust me." Jack said.

There was a brief pause, then Matthew smiled through his fear.

"Do you want to play a game?" Jack asked playfully. “We're going to play Hopscotch, like we do every day!”

Matthew looked more reassured.

"It's as easy as...One...Whoa." Jack showed Matthew the first leap, making silly faces for him, almost losing her balance but managing to catch herself. He laughed.

"Two..." Jack jumped.

"Three!" Jack turned to Matthew with her arms stretched horizontally to the sides.

"All right..." Jack reached down to pick up a long stick that was on the ice. She extended it towards Matthew. "Now it's your turn."

Matthew looked down. He was trying to gather his courage.

Jack started counting to three, never breaking her gaze with Matthew. "One..."

Matthew hopped, wobbling, but catching his balance.

"That's it!" Jack yelled.

Jack continued counting. "Two..."

Matthew continued hopping. The stick Jack was holding was just beyond his reach.

Jack finished counting. "Three."

Matthew grabbed the stick, and Jack pulled him off the ice and onto the grassy hill. She looked up to see that he was safe, smiled, and then plunged into the dark, cold water.

"Jack!" Matthew yelled.

Jack had saved her brother at the cost of her own life. The Greek gods, seeing her selfless act of heroism and sacrifice, revived her and transformed her into a winter spirit. When she rose up from the frozen pond, she discovered that she was immortal and had stopped aging, had the power to control snow, ice, and frost, and that everyone she had ever known was dead. Grief-stricken by the loss of her parents and brother, she left the village she once called home. She became a nomad and wondered around the Enchanted Forest, never staying in one place for very long.

Because Jack was a winter spirit, she was technically both alive and dead. Her body worked like a human's body, except her reproductive organs and the section of her brain that was in charge of controlling her body temperature. Her reproductive organs shut down after she transformed into a winter spirit, and therefore, she was incapable of having children. She was not affected by changes in temperature. She did not sweat, nor did she shiver. She could be outside when it was extremely hot without suffering from heat exhaustion and could be outside in the freezing cold without getting frostbite. The weather outside had no effect on her whatsoever.

When Jack first encountered Rumpelstiltskin, she became wary of him and refused to make any deals with him. She had heard that making deals with the Dark One came with a price, and she wasn't willing to pay it.

Jack became good friends with Snow White, Prince Charming, Red Riding Hood, and Red Riding Hood's grandmother, Widow Lucas, who insisted that she call her Granny.

Jack frequently played tricks on the Evil Queen, which annoyed her. The Evil Queen's guards attempted to capture Jack on numerous occasions, but she always managed to outsmart them and evade capture.

Jack had been captured by one of Regina's guards.

"I finally caught you." He gloated.

"Don't be so sure." Jack told him.

Jack was wearing a brown leather vest with four buttons, a dark blue long-sleeved blouse with a smocked elastic waistline and a v-shaped neckline with a double layered ruffle trim, and brown pants tucked into brown knee-length leather boots. The vest was unbuttoned. Her curly whitish-blonde hair was down.

Jack took a deep breath and then exhaled. Ice came out of her mouth, breaking the ropes that were binding her hands in half. Once she was free from the ropes, she shot ice out of her hands and froze the guard's feet to the ground. The ice wouldn't hold him for long, but it would give her enough time to run away from him.

Prince Charming was riding through the forest on a horse. He came upon a glass coffin. Snow White was surrounded by the seven dwarves.

Charming jumped down from his horse and approached the group.

"You're too late," Doc said sadly.

Charming looked at the glass coffin that was beside Doc. His breath hitched, and his mouth went dry as he rushed forward with a look of disbelief on his face. "No." His eyes were wide with fear as he stared down at his true love. "No!" He yelled as he looked at her expressionless face. His eyes filled up with tears.

"Open it." Charming demanded.

The dwarves looked at Charming with pity in their eyes and didn't move.

Grumpy had a solemn look on his face. "I'm sorry. She's gone."

Charming turned to the dwarves. "At least let me say goodbye."

The dwarves removed the coffin's lid.

A strong gust of wind came when Charming kissed Snow, blowing the dwarves back a few feet.

The dwarves stared at each other in wonder.

Snow's eyes opened, and a loud gasp escaped her as she sat up.

Snow looked at Charming with a loving smile. Her chest heaved as she drew air in. "You…You found me."

"Did you ever doubt I would?" Charming asked, giving Snow a crooked grin as he brushed some hair behind her ear.

"Truthfully? The glass coffin gave me pause." Snow said, cupping Charming's cheek.

"Well, you never have to worry. I will always find you." Charming said.

"Do you promise?" Snow asked.

"I do." Charming said.

It was Snow and Charming's wedding day.

"And do you, Snow White, promise to take this man to be your husband, and love him for all eternity?" The bishop asked.

"I do.” Snow said.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife.” The bishop said.

Jack was sitting in the front row. She was wearing dark blue high-heeled pumps and a long-sleeved dark blue dress with a square neckline and a floor-length skirt that flared at the hips with a small train. The train had a snowflake pattern on it. Her curly whitish-blonde hair was down.

The audience cheered as the newlyweds kissed.

Thunder boomed. Lightning flashed through the stain glass windows. The doors at the far end of the ballroom flew open. The cheering stopped.

"Sorry I'm late." Regina walked into the ballroom. Three of Charming's guards rushed towards her. She waved her hands at them, throwing them up in the air and right through the stained-glass windows.

"It's the queen! Run!" Doc yelled.

Snow drew Charming's sword and pointed it at Regina. "She's not a queen anymore. She's nothing more than an evil witch!"

Before Snow could take another step towards Regina, Charming blocked her. "No, no, no. Don't stoop to her level. There's no need. She's powerless now."

Charming took his sword out of Snow's hand and turned to face Regina, who was smiling malevolently.

"I will not let you ruin this wedding. You're wasting your time. You've already lost." Charming said.

Regina spoke in a deceptively sweet tone. "I'm not here to ruin anything. On the contrary, dear, I've come to give you a gift."

"We want nothing from you." Snow said.

"But you shall have it. My gift to you is this happy, happy day. Enjoy it, because tomorrow is the beginning of the end." Regina said.

More guards rushed towards Regina. She held her ground as they surrounded her, swords drawn.

"For tomorrow, my real work begins. You've made your vows. Now I make mine." Regina looked directly at Snow and Charming. "I shall destroy your happiness if it is the last thing I do."

Regina started to walk away.

"Hey!" Charming yelled, throwing his sword at Regina. Just when the sword was about to hit her, a puff of smoke enveloped her, and she disappeared. The sword slammed into the floor, lodging itself in the wood.

While Jack was visiting Red and Granny's cottage in the woods, she discovered that they were werewolves.

Due to her age, Granny's werewolf curse had faded, and she no longer had to shapeshift during the full moon. However, she retained some wolf-like characteristics, such as a keen sense of smell.

"What is it, Red?" Jack asked, glancing at her friend, who was looking around anxiously.

Jack was wearing a dark blue long-sleeved blouse with a smocked elastic waistline and a v-shaped neckline with a double layered ruffle trim, a brown floor-length skirt, and brown knee-length boots. Her curly whitish-blonde hair was down.

Red frowned. "Something's not right. The air feels wrong, and it's too quiet."

Granny sniffed the air. "I can smell magic."

Jack, Red, and Granny turned around and saw a cloud of purple smoke coming towards them.

"What the hell is that?" Jack asked.

"I don't know." Granny sounded scared.

The smoke engulfed Jack, Red, and Granny.

Storybrooke, Maine

2011

It turned out that the cloud of purple smoke was a curse cast by the Evil Queen. Regina's curse had erased everyone's memories, and they were living false lives.

Snow White was known as Mary Margaret Blanchard, a teacher at Storybrooke Elementary School.

Jack Frost was known as Jacqueline Blanchard, the adoptive daughter of Mary Margaret Blanchard.

This was the story Mary Margaret and Jack were led to believe: Jack was left on the side of the road but didn't get to stay in a foster care home. For years, no one ever found her. Mary Margaret found her sleeping in the woods when she was 14. Mary Margaret took guardianship of Jack, and they had been with each other ever since. The story was untrue, but they didn't know that.

Jack believed that she was an ordinary 15 year old girl and not an immortal being who looked 15 but was actually over 200 years old.

Jack attended Storybrooke Secondary School and was in the tenth grade.

Jack had been stripped of her powers.

On Saturday morning, Mary Margaret was in her kitchen, making breakfast.

Jack walked into the kitchen and smiled at Mary Margaret. "Good morning."

Jack was wearing an unbuttoned dark blue denim jacket, a black t-shirt, dark blue denim jeans, and black ankle-length boots. Her curly whitish-blonde hair was tied up in a high ponytail.

Mary Margaret smiled back. "Good morning."

Mary Margaret put two plates of bacon and scrambled eggs on the table, then she poured milk into two glasses.

Mary Margaret and Jack sat down at the table and started eating.

"Are you nervous about tonight?" Mary Margaret asked.

Tonight, Jack was going on a date for the first time ever. A guy in her science class had asked her to see a movie with him, and she had said yes.

Mary Margaret also had a date tonight. She was going to have dinner with Dr. Whale at Granny's Bed & Breakfast.

"A little bit." Jack said.

Mary Margaret and Jack finished eating and put their dishes away.

Mary Margaret was on her date with Dr. Whale.

"So, tell me more about this volunteer outreach program the hospital is doing." Mary Margaret told Dr. Whale.

Dr. Whale wasn't paying any attention to Mary Margaret. His focus was on the scantily clad waitress, Ruby Lucas, who was clearing a table behind them.

Mary Margaret noticed that Dr. Whale wasn't paying any attention to her. She turned her head to see him looking at Ruby's butt.

Ruby finished clearing the table and picked up a tray. She walked towards Dr. Whale and Mary Margaret.

Mary Margaret caught Ruby's attention. "Ruby?"

Ruby turned around while holding the tray in the air with one hand.

"Yes, Mary Margaret?" Ruby asked.

Mary Margaret spoke sadly. "Check, please."

After her date, Jack stormed into Mary Margaret's apartment, slamming the door behind her.

"I'm guessing your date didn't go well." Mary Margaret said.

"No, it certainly didn't. I showed up at the theatre and saw him kissing another girl. The only reason he asked me to go on a date with him was to make her jealous." Jack said.

"My date didn't go well either. Dr. Whale was ogling Ruby the whole time and wasn't paying any attention to what I was saying." Mary Margaret said.

"Bastard," Jack muttered.

On Tuesday morning, Jack woke up in her room in Mary Margaret's apartment, gasping.

Light blue paint covered the walls, a darker blue stripe running around the perimeter of the room. The bed was made of a simple wrought iron with a white comforter. A whitewash armoire stood to the left of the window, a similarly-styled desk to the right.

Jack slowly sat up in her bed, looking around her room. She'd just had another strange dream about having ice powers.

Mary Margaret had left earlier that morning to go to a staff meeting, so she hadn't heard Jack gasp.

Jack got out of bed, got dressed, brushed her hair, and walked into the kitchen.

Jack ate a bagel with cream cheese for breakfast, grabbed her black messenger bag from behind the door and slung the strap over her shoulder, and walked to school.

Storybrooke Secondary School was within walking distance of Mary Margaret's apartment.

After school, Jack walked into Granny's Bed & Breakfast. She waved at Granny and Ruby, who were behind the counter, and found a booth to sit in.

Ruby smiled, walking up to Jack. "Hi, Jack. What can I get you?"

"I'll have a hot chocolate with cinnamon, please." Jack said.

Jack was wearing an unzipped black leather jacket, a dark blue t-shirt, black denim jeans, and black ankle-length leather boots. Her curly whitish-blonde hair was down.

"Coming right up." Ruby said, writing in her notepad and then walking into the kitchen.

"Here's your hot chocolate." Ruby said, setting a mug of hot chocolate with cinnamon in front of Jack.

Jack smiled. "Thanks, Ruby."

Ruby walked over to the counter to serve some other customers.

Henry Mills, the adoptive son of Regina Mills, took a seat across from Jack.

"Jack, come with me. There's someone I want you to meet." Henry stood up, and Jack cautiously followed his lead. Having never spoken to him much before, this was an unexpected turn of events.

Jack followed Henry out of the diner and to the park. He led her to a bench with a blonde woman sitting on it. Jack recognized her as the woman who had come into town a few days ago.

Henry smiled, sitting down on the bench beside Emma. "Jack, this is my real mom, Emma Swan. Mom, this is Jacqueline Blanchard. She prefers to be called Jack. She's going to help you believe."

"Believe what?" Jack frowned, then she looked at Emma. "It's nice to meet you, but I have no idea what I'm doing here. The kid said to follow him, and for some reason, I did."

Emma laughed. "How do you think I ended up here? I live in Boston."

Henry took a book out of his bag and opened it. "Okay, Jack, here's your story. You're not really Jack Blanchard. You're Jack Frost, an immortal being with ice powers."

Jack's eyes widened, and she was too shocked to speak, because what Henry was saying brought back the memories of what had happened in her dreams.

Henry looked up at Jack once he finished reading her story from the book, right up until the moment the purple cloud engulfed her, Red, and Granny. "You know I'm telling the truth, don't you? You've been having dreams about this."

Jack nodded, speechless.

"I…I have to go." Jack ran home before Henry or Emma could stop her.

A few days passed, during which Jack kept to herself as much as possible, then Emma showed up at Granny's Bed & Breakfast while she was eating lunch.

"Henry's in a coma." Emma informed Jack.

Emma and Jack ran out of the diner and headed to the hospital.

Jack had grown close to Henry and considered him a friend.

Regina was standing next to Henry's bed.

Dr. Whale read Henry's chart and let out a sad sigh. "I'm afraid there's nothing I can do."

The heart monitor indicated that Henry's heart had stopped beating.

Crying, Emma leaned down, whispered “goodbye”, and kissed Henry's forehead.

A circle of distorted light spread from Henry, getting bigger. As it passed through Jack, she regained all her memories from the Enchanted Forest. Before she could blink, the light was gone, spreading through the town to return everyone's memories.

2012

Jack dropped out of school and got her G.E.D. Since she was no longer cursed, she had no reason to stay in school. She never liked going to school. It bored her.

Jack got her powers back.

Mary Margaret legally adopted Jack, but Jack decided to keep the last name Frost rather than changing her last name to Blanchard. Mary Margaret respected her decision.

Even though Jack and Mary Margaret were pretty close in age, Mary Margaret still considered herself to be Jack's parent. However, she didn't treat Jack like a child. She treated Jack like an adult and let her make her own decisions.

David moved in with Mary Margaret and Jack and became Jack's adoptive father.

On November 10th, Mary Margaret handed Jack a box wrapped in white wrapping paper. "Happy birthday."

Jack opened the box. There was a dark blue hooded sweatshirt inside of it.

Jack smiled at Mary Margaret. "Thank you."

The second Jack touched the sweatshirt and took it out of the box, frost collected around the ring of the collar.

Jack put the sweatshirt on. It was very comfortable. She was going to wear it a lot.

"You're welcome." Mary Margaret said.

David handed Jack a box wrapped in dark blue wrapping paper. "Happy birthday."

Jack opened the box. There was a silver necklace in the shape of a snowflake inside of it.

Jack smiled at David. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." David said.

Jack and Henry were playing in the snow on a December afternoon.

Jack was wearing her dark blue hooded sweatshirt with frost collecting around the ring of the collar, dark blue denim jeans, and brown knee-length boots. Her curly whitish-blonde hair was down.

Henry had a sneaky grin on his face.

"Gotcha!" Henry yelled, hitting Jack in the face with a snowball.

"Oh, it is on!" Jack yelled. She reached down and grabbed a handful of snow from off the ground. With her palm open, she used her magic to form the perfect snowball. She then puckered her lips and blew onto it with her icy breath, turning it a light shade of blue. It went flying through the air and hit Henry in the back of the head, knocking him face first into the ground.

Henry burst into laughter, then a snowball fight began.

"You are so getting it, Frostbite!" Henry yelled, tossing snowballs at Jack.

In the end, Jack emerged victorious.

"You should have known better than to start a snowball fight with a winter spirit." Jack said.

During the missing year, Jack met her true love, Alexander Van Helsing, the only child of Abraham Van Helsing, the most legendary vampire hunter in the Enchanted Forest. He hadn't been affected by Regina's curse. Instead of being sent to Storybrooke, he remained in the Enchanted Forest. Like her, he appeared to be 15 years old but was actually over 200 years old. He was a vampire. He was immortal, could not age, and was sterile and could not have biological children. On his 15th birthday, the infamous vampire Count Vladimir Dracula came after his family with the intent of getting revenge on Abraham for killing his beloved fiancée, Mina Murray, who was a vampire. Dracula forced Abraham to watch him drain his wife dry and turned his son into the thing he hated most — a vampire. Abraham killed Dracula by stabbing him in the heart with a wooden stake and then tried to kill Alexander, but Alexander survived and ended up draining his father dry because he was a newly turned vampire and didn't know how to control his bloodlust. After the death of his parents, he obtained a blue and silver daylight ring, a piece of jewelry with a lapis lazuli gemstone that was enchanted and allowed vampires to walk in the sun without bursting into flames, and searched for other vampires who could help him learn to control his newfound thirst for human blood and his newfound supernatural abilities — super strength, super speed, the ability to instantly heal from any injury, enhanced senses of sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch, and the ability to read and control a human's mind.

Jack nicknamed Alexander Alex and took him to Storybrooke with her. She moved out of David and Mary Margaret's apartment, and she and Alex got their own apartment. She and Alex got married, but she decided to keep the last name Frost rather than changing it to Van Helsing. He respected her decision.

May 18, 2018

Regina decided to bring all of the realms to Storybrooke so that everyone could be together. Mary Margaret and David brought it upon themselves to give Regina a coronation and make her the queen of the United Realms.

When Regina commented on the absence of Emma, Killian, Jack, and Alex, Mary Margaret said, "The babies were probably fussy."

Jack ran into the room, carrying her and Alex's adoptive son, Elijah Van Helsing, a baby boy with fair skin, tufts of short brown hair, and green eyes. He was wrapped in a dark blue blanket with frost patterns on it. Shortly after she and Alex adopted Elijah, she had gotten Emma to use her magic to transform her dark blue hooded sweatshirt into a baby blanket.

Jack was wearing the silver snowflake-shaped necklace David gave her, silver high-heeled sandals, and a floor-length dark blue dress with spaghetti straps, a v-neck, and a bedazzled waistband. The dress showed a hint of cleavage. Her curly whitish-blonde hair was gathered at the nape of her neck in a low bun, save for the two wisps of hair that framed her face. Her wedding ring was on her right hand. It was a beautiful ring — a simple silver band with a round dark blue jewel in the middle.

Alex, Emma, and Killian were right behind Jack.

Emma and Killian were right behind Alex.

Emma wore her red leather jacket over her dress. She was carrying a diaper bag.

Killian was carrying his and Emma’s daughter, Hope Swan-Jones.

"Sorry we're late." Alex said.

Alex had a Dutch accent.

Alex had fair skin, blue eyes, and short, straight brown hair. He was 5 foot 10. He was clean-shaven. His body was slender but muscular. He was wearing a black suit, a white dress shirt, a black necktie, and black dress shoes with black laces. His silver wedding ring was on his right hand, and his daylight ring was on his left hand. He was carrying a diaper bag.

Emma walked over to Henry and told him to lend his stepfather a hand. Killian teased that it was a tired joke in their household. Even after all this time, the couple was still flirty with each other.

Throughout Regina's crowning as the Good Queen, Emma and Killian held their child with love in their eyes, and so did Jack and Alex.

THE END
