AN: So, obviously, I'm rewriting this, and there are a few important things I have to say.

1, when I started writing this, I only knew what RotG was about, the concept and the general stuff. I hardly knew that, all I got was from reading random fanfics. So anyway, I didn't see the movie until I was more than halfway into this story, so I really didn't know much.

2, my writing sucked two years ago, when I started this and I can't stand reading it, so I have to rewrite it.

3, back then, I thought Jack was 14, so in this story, he is.

4, Jack and Bunny have become best friends and Jack moved into the Warren with Bunny.

5, dreams and flashbacks will be in italics. In those dreams and flashbacks, thoughts will be bold and in quotation marks.

And 6, This story will still only be about 10 chapters. The plot moves pretty fast.

Hope you like the slightly less terrible version of A Cure for Nightmares! Enjoy!

Jack grinned as he smashed another five nightmares with his ice, not really caring that this meant that Pitch had recovered somehow and was back to go after the Guardians. All that mattered to him was that he was having a blast.

Beneath him, North and Bunny were in the sleigh, fighting side by side while the reindeer struggled to keep the sleigh in the air and near the fight. Tooth zipped around, slicing the nightmares with her super speed wings. Sandy sat on a cloud of sand, whipping the nightmares with his golden sand and turning them into his own minions.

And Pitch sat on his cloud of nightmare sand, watching the battle. Unknown to him, Jack was sneaking up from behind.

"Boo,"

Pitch whirled around and was attacked by a flurry of ice. A one-on-one fight followed for a bit before Pitch disappeared. Jack panicked and was quickly grabbed from behind.

"Argh! Lemme go!" Jack elbowed Pitch in the stomach but he held fast.

Pitch laughed evilly as Jack continued to struggle. "Say goodbye to the Easter Kangaroo, Jack!" He spat out.

Jack quickly looked to the sleigh, but Bunny was gone. Jack scanned the forest floor and found Bunny pinned up against a rock wall. The nightmares seemed to come at an impossible speed and soon covered Bunny until Jack couldn't see him.

"Bunny! Bunny!" Jack fought even harder now, trying to reach his friend in hopes to save him. Jack felt tears sting his eyes and he choked back a sob. "Bunny!"

Pitch smirked and released Jack, disappearing into the clouds. As soon as he was free, Jack bolted for the place he had last seen his friend. The nightmares still swarmed the rock wall and Jack blasted them all in a blind rage.

"Bunny!? Bunny!" Jack fell at his friend's side. He felt for a pulse, but all signs of life were gone. A strangled noise left Jack's throat and he let the tears fall. Sobbing, his only thought was "Why? Why not me?..."

Jack jerked from his bed with a shriek, his face and pillow covered in tears. It took him a moment to realize it was just a nightmare.

Jack shuddered and fell back on his bed, running his hands through his hair, tears still pooling in his eyes. He forced himself not to cry, trying to reassure himself. "It's j-just another st-stupid nightmare… Nothing th-that bad… At least it isn't r-real…"

But he questioned his own words. Then why is it always so real?...

Bunny always woke up early. He is a spring spirit, and a saying among spring spirits is "the early spring spirit gets the pretty flowers". He started the day like any other, but he was worried. Jack had been having horrible nightmare ever since that scuffle with Pitch…

***FLASHBACK***

It had been a normal day in the Warren. Jack and Bunny were working on some improvements in the egg painting system when nightmares came out of nowhere. Jack and Bunny knew this meant Pitch was here, so they went on guard and attacked the nightmares.

Jack was soon pinned up against a wall. The nightmares surrounding him dissipated, much to his confusion. Then, Pitch appeared and before Jack could react, stabbed his side with a black dagger.

Jack cried out and shoved Pitch away. Pitch and all the nightmares soon disappeared. Jack knew he didn't feel Pitch pull out the dagger, but the weapon was gone and his wound was already healing.

After Bunny checked on him, they cleaned up the Warren, promising to work on the improvements more tomorrow. Soon, they were both fast asleep.

But what both Jack and Bunny failed to notice was the tint of black that remained in Jacks skin…

Soon after that, the nightmares started. Jack wasn't getting enough sleep and was quieter than usual. Bunny did everything he could to cheer him up, but mostly to no avail. Bunny finally got tired of watching Jack in pain and he decided they were going to North's.

AN: So, the fight scene at the beginning basically starts like the fight scene from the movie where Sandy dies.

But this time, Sandy doesn't die. Bunny does... Hehehe…

So, I really hope this is better than before, and don't worry, the plot will stay the same.
