Disclaimer: i don't own the rise of the guardians characters
I was sitting on my window seat in the middle of the night reading a book my brother Jamie had made me, It was about Tooth, the queen of the tooth faeries. When I was really little I had met her, but she scared me off by showing me teeth she had collected. Bunny and I had painted the Easter eggs that year, I never forgot him even though I only saw him when he was arguing with Jack Frost who ended up hanging around a lot since my brother had been his first believer. All the books my brother had made me had easy words so that I could read them easily, I was only seven give a girl a break anyway the book was called "The Tooth faery and the fun frost boy" my brother had given it to me before I had gone to bed. I loved reading by moonlight, I still do it makes me think that the man in the moon will keep the bogeyman away or at least that's what i've been told I was reading third page when all of a sudden Bunny had come jumping out of a portal and had fell on my bed. And that is where my story starts:
"Bunny!" I said then I dropped the book and ran to see what was wrong, I crawled over to where he was and turned him over so that he was facing me.
"H-hey little ankle bitter" Bunny said weakly
"Bunny what's wrong?" I asked looking at him
"P-Pitch that's whats wrong, Jack had come to annoy me again and we hadn't noticed a nightmare get in and it attacked after Jack had left" he answered as I looked Bunny over and I saw the burns and black sand on his body. I reached over and carefully took as much of the black sand off him trying not to hurt him and I dumped it in my bin, I kept doing it until I couldn't see any black sand.
"Bunny bit better?" I asked and I saw him nod "I'm going to go get Jamie he can help me fix the burns, i'll be right"
I ran out of my room and into Jamie's room, I walked over to his bed and poked him awake
"Sophie what are you doing up?" Jamie asked rubbing his eyes
"Bunny hurt come and help him with the burns" I said and only then did I notice tears running down my cheeks, Jamie's face softened at the mention of Bunny but it softened even more when he saw me crying.
"Let's go help Bunny" Jamie walked out of the room and we got the first aid kit from the kitchen silently so we didn't wake up mum and we walked back to my room.
"Freeze Bunnymund and don't you dare move" Jamie said and we saw Bunny trying to stand, hearing my brother he sat down in defeat muttering annoyedly to himself, he was a warrior after all and he didn't really like being told what to do very much. Jamie started tending to Bunny's wounds and I sent a thank you to the rest of the guardians for teaching Jamie and his friends how to treat burns made by black sand, Pitch had gotten stronger and changed the sand to make it burn the guardians and according to Jamie this hadn't been the first time it had happen
"All done" Jamie said
"Thanks mate" Bunny said and he stood up "Come on you two I don't trust Pitch not to have followed me"
Jamie and I took Bunny's outstretched hands and we all jumped into the tunnel that Bunny had made. We hopped out/emerged out of the portal and we all landed sprawled on the floor of the workshop, elves ran over and helped me and Jamie up while the Yetis had to help Bunny.
"Bunny my friend what brings- Jamie! Sophie! How are you both?" North asked and I looked at Bunny who gave me a small nod
"Bunny was hurt and we took care of him" I said and I took Bunny's paw carefully
"It was Pitch, Frostbite had come to annoy me again and the nightmare came in when he did and the bloody thing took it's chance when my back was turned" Bunny growled out and i gave his a paw a gentle squeeze
"I'll get the guardians" North said and then he walked off, Bunny let go of my hand and walked over to the fireplace and i bit my lip
"Jamie I'm scared" I said and I hugged my brother
"I know Sophie, but everything's going to be fine" Jamie said hugging me back protectively
Jamie and I sat on the window sills and we snuggled together, one by one the guardians arrived and not one of them noticed us. They all gathered together and talked in hushed whispers; I looked out of the window and saw a normal blue and white sky. I saw something black moving towards us and I recognized the person on the horse as Pitch Black from my brother's books, I jumped off the window and pulled Jamie with me.
"Jamie is that Pitch?" I said hesitantly and the hushed whispers stopped, Jamie turned towards the window and he pulled me against him
"It is" he answered slightly scared and i looked up at him starting to cling to him
"Tooth get them away from here!" Bunny said and Jamie and I were being pulled away from the window
"NO!" I yelled but I was still being pulled away, Tooth was stronger than she looked and she dragged us into a room with no windows and lots of lights, she turned all of them on.
"You are to stay in here until we come and get you okay?" Tooth said gently and we both nodded even if mine was slightly stiff, she walked out and we heard her lock the door and fly away.
"Jamie I wanna go help" I said and Jamie nodded
"So do I Soph, so do I but we can't, they are just trying to protect us okay?" Jamie said as he and I sat down together and i nodded "Let's play a game; we are going to make a story. I'll say something then you'll say something then I'll say something and it will go like that until we are finished. Once upon a time"
"There were two children" I said starting to slowly relax
"One was a boy and one was a girl" he said
"The boy had pretty ice blue eyes" I said thinking it would make Jamie happy to have a part of Jack in the story, he had a crush on the guardian. I'd found out by accidentally finding his diary before we'd gone off to the park one day
"And the girl had wonderful black hair and perfect pale skin" Jamie said and he smiled at me and I smiled back cuddling closer to him
"They were brother and sister and they loved each other" I said grinning
"But one day another little boy came and the two boys became friends" Jamie said
"The girl hated that her brother only played with the other boy and he acted like she was invisible, only talking to her when he was hungry" I said not liking the way the story was going but I continued anyway
"The three came across a frozen river, they thought it would be fun to skate on it and it was until his sister got trapped. The ice was cracking so she stayed still and it stopped" Jamie said
"The new boy kept telling him that they should go get someone to help but the blue eyed boy knew that his sister could fall in at any time, he found a stick that he could wrap around her waist and he could close enough and he threw her out of the circle but he was thrown inside it" I said
"The other boy glared at the stupidly of his friend and the glared at the girl for being so stupid for skating in one circle" Jamie said as he looked down at his hands
"The girl had already lost a uncle to the water and she wasn't about to lose a brother, she looked at the other boy and she began to sing to the ice" i said and i hummed the song
"The boy thought this was weird, she was singing to ice why?" Jamie said looking at me
"Slowly as the girl began to sing the ice froze over again and her brother was able to skate out" I said then we heard fighting and reduced our talking to whispers and i cuddled closer to him
"He smiled at his sister and he hugged her, he felt so bad. He'd pay more attention to his sister, he looked her in the eye and promised her that" Jamie smiled and I grinned back
"The girl accepted his apology and together they left the other boy to skate by himself and they lived happily ever after" I ended and the door unlocked and opened to reveal the guardians.
"Come on out now kids" Jack said as we both stood up and we both walked out
"He gone?" I asked and Bunny nodded
"He's gone ankle bitter" Bunny picked me up and hugged me and i happily hugged him back "Thank you for looking after me"
"No problem" I said then I yawned and i snuggled into Bunny's chest happily then i yawned again as i started getting sleepy "Sleepy now"
"Oh I wish I had a camera right now" I heard Jack say and chorus of "Shh" met his voice
"Better take you two kids home" Bunny said and then I was being jolted around slightly and I felt my bed under me as i relaxed.
"What do we do if Pitch comes again?" Jamie asked
"Ring this, the blue one is for you and the green one is for Sophie now make sure you both get to sleep mate" Bunny said and I heard Jamie yawn.
"We will Bunny" Jamie said and someone tapped my nose, I opened my eyes and sat up. Jamie tied the bell's ribbon around my neck and it felt nice to have it there.
"Goodnight Soph" Jamie said he walked out of my room, tying his bell's ribbon around his wrist
"Night little ankle bitter" Bunny said and he hopped over and kissed my forehead
"Bye bye Bunny" I said as i hugged him and patted his nose, he smiled at me and I saw past the outer bunny and saw who Bunny was on the inside.
"Can I come play tomorrow?" Bunny asked and I nodded
"Bunny come play any day!" I said then I giggled, I jumped out of bed and ran to my desk suddenly remembering my drawing.
"I made this" I picked it up and gave it to Bunny, it was a picture of at the Warren.
"Nice job Soph" Bunny said and he hugged me than he picked up my fallen book and gave it to me "Read my book next"
Bunny made a tunnel and he hugged the drawing to his chest as he jumped down but not before giving me a smile and a wave then the tunnel closed up and he was gone, I crawled into bed and I fell asleep looking at the moon. That night I dreamt of Bunny and I playing in the warren as a smile spread on my face
