The brainwashing nightmare, got closer, and closer. Bunny repeatedly threw his boomerangs at it, but unlike the original nightmares, it would just reform. His weapons had no effect. Knowing if he stayed he would be brainwashed, he held the body of Jack close and ran. He didn't know where he was going but it had to be anywhere but here.
Aster then realised that he had 'borrowed' one of North's snow globes, in case of an emergency. And this definitely classed as an emergency. He grabbed it and shouted "THE WARREN!" And leaped through the portal.
He sighed in relief to see the familiar landscape of his home when he heard a rustle behind him. The brainwashing nightmare had followed him.
However, they were no longer in Pitch's mansion. This was Bunny's home. He had the upper hand. Or in his case, upper paw. He dodged the plants, and bolted over his unpainted googies. But the nightmare was only getting closer. Bunny felt his conscious begin to leave him. He was failing!
He was moments away from becoming Pitch's servant. By this point he had stopped running. There was nothing he could do.
Then his eyes widened. It was coming for the nearest living creature. When Pitch had brainwashed Jack, the boy was the only living thing closest since he was quite far from the trees. If Bunnymund timed it right, he may have a chance. He saw an extremely long, flexible plant and grasped it in his free paw. The nightmare was 5 seconds away.

This had to work.

But what if he failed?
3.
No. He was the Guardian of Hope. That's what he had to do.

For the children.
1.
For Jack.
With all his might, he pulled the plant in front of him.
But nothing happened. He rapidly looked and saw the plant had vanished. He felt himself slipping into unconsciousness. His memories slipping away.
Bunny awoke with a gasp and shot up, looking to the infirmary bed across from him. Jack lay there, sleeping peacefully, a soft smile indicating a good dream.
Bunny sighed. It had felt so real. It felt like he had been replaying the memory of being chased by the brainwasher. He had felt the ache of the pouncing, the unconsciousness attacking his consciousness. The dead weight of Jack's body. All of it felt so real.
Jack awoke and saw Bunnymund staring blankly out the window.
"Ahem."
"Oh. Sorry 'bout that, mate. Just thinkin'."
before Jack could inquire further, Nick slammed open the door.
"Ya tell everyone ta knock, yet ya don't bother yarsel...Oh no!" Bunnymund stopped his assault on North when he saw 2 silver sparkly envelopes being waved in the air.
