Well I'm new to this Fandom so tell me what you think? Uh…. Enjoy?
Jack smiled at bunny as he flew above him. The oversized rabbit was bounding along the snow covered forest floor, occasionally slipping and sliding on the slick and crunchy snow. Jack just simply found the rabbits lack of grace to be hilarious; He couldn't stop his incessant laughing.
"Oh, shut ya yap Frostbite!" Bunnymund shouted from below with an angry glare that was so cold, it could have easily matched the intensity of the blizzard of 68'.
The Pooka's glare only made Jack's grin widen. After all, nothing entertained him more than making the old kangaroo agitated.
"Crikey!" Jack called out, mimicking the voice of that Steve Erwin guy Jamie liked so much. "He's angry!"
Bunny's ears went back as he breathed out a sigh of frustration, his left eye twitching from listening to Jacks horrible impression of an Australian accent.
"Ya try'n ta mock me Mate? Cause' your do'n a horrible job at it!" The Pooka bellowed as he crested the top of a large snow pile.
Jack pouted at the insult and flipped over on to his back with a huff.
Bunnymund rolled his eyes and looked ahead. His ears twitched when he heard a familiar sound off in the distance. He recognized it as Sophie's cute belly laugh. Happy mood restored, the Pooka quickly picked up his pace and raced ahead.
"Hey!" Jack staggered for a quick second in the air, gawking after Bunny's retreating form, before quickly taking after him.
"What's got you in such a rush fuzz ball!" Jack called out as he tried to catch up to the speeding Pooka.
He figured his question out for himself though, when he spotted Jamie and Sophie sitting on a log by the side of the frozen lake; it looked like they were slipping on ice skates.
"Jamie! Sophie!"
Said believers looked up from what they were doing with a grin.
"Jack! You're here!" Jamie shouted.
His cry of excitement was shortly followed by Sophie's eager squeak at seeing Bunny.
The two guardians quickly embraced their favored child, pulling them into a bone crushing hug.
"What took you guys so long to get here?" Jamie asked after he pulled away from Jack.
"Well kiddo," Jack said as he ruffled Jamie's hair, "a certain Easter Bunny had a hard time with the snow."
Aster shot Jack an unamused glare.
"Bunny! Bunny! Look!" Sophie shouted in delight as she pointed down at the new skates that were on her feet. The skates were a pretty pink with swirls of blue and purple glitter along the sides of the heels; the shoelaces were a glittery silver and were currently nothing more than a tangled mess of knots.
Aster laughed at the young girl as he bent down and detangled the shoelaces. He then pulled them tight and tied them into a big bow. Which was quite a surprising achievement considering Bunnymund lacked opposable thumbs.
"Thare' ya go, that's how laces are supposed ta look!"
Sophie's face broke out into a big grin as she admired Bunny's work.
"Pretty…"
Meanwhile Jamie was showing Jack his new pair of skates as well.
"Aren't they Cool!" Jamie shouted as he pointed at his skates. "Look they even have captain America on them!"
When Jack didn't respond Jamie looked back up at his best friend. Jack was staring down at Jamie's skates with fright filled blue eyes.
Jamie farrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "Jack, you ok?"
The winter spirit didn't respond he just stood there shaking. His right hand was clamped so tightly around his staff that his knuckles were turning blue.
"Jack?" Jamie questioned again, this time pulling on Jacks blue hoody.
"Don't touch em'!"
Jamie jumped at the sound of Aster's booming voice.
"What, why?"
Aster sighed as he pulled the young boy away from Jack and sat him and his sister down on a nearby log.
"It's hard ta explain, But uh…" Aster paused as he stared down at the two believers, More specifically Jamie since Sophie was too young to understand that something was even wrong. She was more entertained by drawing scribbles in the snowy ground with the blade of her skates.
Jamie waited patiently with baited breath for Bunny to finish his sentence, occasionally sending a worried glance in Jacks direction.
"Well ya remember Tooth right?" Bunny questioned.
Jamie nodded slowly.
"Well The whole reason she collects teeth is because each one holds some memories from child hood. Her job is ta protect those memories and ta provide the memories when a kid needs em'."
"Ok, But what does that have to do with Jack?" Jamie asked quietly. Not entirely understanding where Bunny was going with this.
"Well," Aster began; his green eyes were slowly starting to pool with sadness. "Jack didn't always used ta be Jack Frost. He used ta be a human boy, just like ya. But when he became the spirit of winter he forgot about all of that."
Jamie was taken aback by the sudden revelation. He had always thought that Jack was, well, Jack Frost. The mythical bringer of snow, It never once occurred to him that Jack may have once been human. His mind began to buzz with millions of questions, Did he have a Family? How'd he turn into Jack Frost? When was he born? But that all came to a halt when he remembered that bunny said that Jack forgot about being human. His smile vanished and he glanced back up at the Pooka.
"You mean Jack has am-nesi-a?" Jamie asked, slowly dragging out the word 'amnesia' so he could pronounce it right.
"Yeah," Bunny replied surprised that the kid knew such a large word. "But it's not as bad as it was, Since Tooth helped em' remember. She showed him all of the good memories of his childhood; the only problem is by seeing the good memories he's starting ta remember the bad ones."
"Wait, is that what's happening now, He's remembering something bad?" Jamie gasped out in worry.
A pregnant pause filled the air as Aster collected himself. He hated telling children things that would make them worried, upset or maybe even emotionally hurt them, but he knew that he couldn't get out of this situation. Even though he dreaded being the one telling Jamie, He was kinda happy it was him doing the talking and not Jack. The poor kids been through enough.
"Yeah, He's having a flashback right now, and when he's like that he's in his own little world. You can't reason or talk to em' because he won't respond. So we got'a wait till he snaps out of it."
Jamie frowned and looked over at his cowering best friend. Jack looked so scared and he couldn't do anything to help him. He couldn't chase off his fears like Jack so often did for him. He watched as Jack fell backwards in the snow, blindly swinging his staff to defend himself against some non-existent evil. Jamie felt his heart clench and in that moment he jumped up from the log, flinging his skates from his feet as he did so. That quickly caught bunny's attention. Aster reached out and grabbed Jamie's arm preventing him from going anywhere near Jack.
"Jamie Ya got ta leave em' be, he's potentially dangerous when he's reliving a bad memory." Aster explained as he yanked Jamie to him, trapping the boy in his arms.
"No, let me go!" Jamie yelled as he struggled against Asters strong grasp, tears of frustration poured down his face. "Jack needs help he's scared! Jack! Jack!"
Bunnymund clapped a furry paw over Jamie's mouth.
"Do ya want ta become a human Popsicle, Ya little Bugger!" Aster whispered harshly into Jamie's ear.
"Bunny! Stop being mean to my big brother!"
Bunny looked down to his side to find Sophie hitting him on the leg. It didn't hurt or anything, but it sure as hell pissed him off. Why didn't these kids understand that he was trying to help them!
He was about to respond but, a slightly not all there, Jack beat him to it.
"Pippa!" He cried as he stumbled to his feet. He let out a snarl and glared at Bunnymund. The rabbit didn't know who exactly Jack thought the Pooka was at the moment, but he certainly didn't like the look that jack was giving him.
"Let my little sister and her friend go!" He stuttered slightly but he kept his ground with a fierce stare. It was in that moment that Aster realized that jack was still frightened by whatever was going on in his head even though he was trying to act tuff.
"I'm not afraid of you!" Jack declared to an invisible voice.
"Jack Mate…."
"Be quite, you bastard! It's bad enough you took Pa from us! I won't let you hurt anyone else!" Jack screeched as tears poured down his face. He wasted no time and launched at Bunny.
Aster responded quickly and pushed Jamie and Sophie into a nearby pile of snow, just in time to counter Jacks attack.
Bunny caught the crook of Jacks staff but was caught off guard when Jack swept his legs under the rabbit's feet. Soon Aster found himself on the ground with a spitting headache thanks to the fact that Jack rammed the butt of his staff into the back of his head. He was stunned that the freaken Drongo could move so quickly. Bunny responded by donkey kicking the unsuspecting winter sprite in the stomach. It was a dirty move and would have been considered very un-honorable in the Pooka culture, but hey it worked. Jack's body flew four feet into the air and creamed into a tree. Jack fell limp at the base of it.
Bunny stayed still for a moment. His ears twitching, trying to pick up any groan or sound the boy might give off that would indicate he was getting back up.
When Jack didn't move or respond in anyway, Aster felt his blood turn to ice. He quickly hopped over to Jacks still form and shook the boys shoulder.
Jamie and Sophie climbed out of the deep snow pile that had been holding them captive. The first thing they noticed was a motionless jack slumped against the cold bark of an old oak tree, with a worried Bunnymund standing over him.
Jamie was horror struck.
"YOU KILLED JACK FROST!"
"What! No, I-I did not!" Aster floundered. "He's still breathn', look!"
Jamie let lose the breath that he had been subconsciously holding in when he noticed that Jack was indeed still breathing. He was just about to reply to Bunny when a long and painful groan drew every ones attention.
"My Gosh, My head….. I feel like I just got kicked by a horse…" Jack moaned.
"Uh…..that's actually pretty close to what happened….." Jamie said with a laugh as he shot a knowing glance in Bunnymund's direction.
Dazed blue eyes squinted up at Jamie and Aster with confusion.
"What?"
Jamie, Sophie, and Aster burst out laughing. Jack scowled clearly confused.
"What's so…Funny?"
"Uh….Nothin' frostbite. You alright?" Bunnymund asked as he helped pull Jack to his feet.
"I've been better, but I won't keel over and die or anything, if that's what you're asking. Seriously though, what the heck happened?" Jack asked as he stretched his back causing his spine to realign with a few quick pops.
"Well ya kinda had an…..episode….." Bunny explained as he nervously rubbed the back of his neck, his gray ears pressed flat against his head.
Jacks eyes widened. He quickly flew to Jamie and Sophie checking them over for any injuries.
"I-I didn't hurt you two did I?" Jack asked as he fussed over the young believers. Jamie swatted Jacks hands away.
"Calm down, We're fine." Jamie said with playful irritation. After all he hated it when people fidgeted over him and Jack knew that very well. Jamie took Jacks suddenly fussy behavior as a joke, figuring the sprite was looking to lighten the mood. That's why he was so taken aback when he looked up to find Jack nearly on the verge of tears.
"Y—you're sure your fine?" Jack asked again as he looked between Jamie and Sophie, his voice wavering slightly from emotional strain.
"Yeah Jack me and Sophie are fine, I promise." Jaime answered softly. He quickly pulled his distressed friend into a tight hug, Sophie did the same. "I'm more worried about you. You're crying Jack."
Jack stiffened for a few short moments before returning the unexpected loving gesture.
"I'm fine." The winter sprit mumbled as his grip on the children tightened. "As long as you're fine, I'm fine."
The wind sprit watched as Jamie hugged her big brother with a feeling of overwhelming sadness. She wished she could comfort him like that. Granted yes, she had been his best and first friend since the day he was reborn and she had always brought a certain amount of comfort to him, but nothing was equal to the comfort one received from a tangible and audible being. She was sick of being invisible! The man in the moon had promised her that her punishment would end shortly after Jack began to regain his memories and considering Jack was slowly starting to get his memories back she had no doubt that the curse would be lifted soon. She longed to be able to have a relationship with her older brother again, much like Jamie did. Though part of her was nervous and didn't want that day to come.
After all if Manny removed the curse and she was visible to the rest of the immortals, Most of all Jack, she would have to explain why they hadn't been able to see her for the last 300 years and why Manny had cursed her in the first place.
She regretted what she was punished for, After all Jack had gotten himself killed saving her and what did she do to repay him? She killed herself…She had just been so lost after her brother's death that she had lost sight of the light and Manny understood that. That's why he brought her back; He was giving her a second chance at life, A chance to make a difference and a Second chance to be with her brother.
So what do you guys think? Love it Hate? Please leave a review! I would be very happy if you did. It'll let me know if I should continue this or not!
Have a nice day! XD
