Jack POV

It was the monthly meeting for the guardians. North was preparing for the meeting and Jack was bored. He was there first (for once) since he'd moved in with North. Having nothing to do Jack flew around the workshop, occasionally freezing the elves solid or one of the yeti's feet to the ground.

That's when he smelt it. A wonderful smell coming from the kitchen he flew closer.. Ahh... fresh cookies. Being an immortal spirit, Jack didn't have to eat but that didn't mean that once in a while he didn't like the taste of a fresh baked cookie. He inched closer. Jack never liked going into the kitchens. It was always stuffy and warm in there and that was something he really did not enjoy. But then a mischievous grin found its way to his face. Stealing all the cookies would surely rile the little elves up. And being as bored as he was he wouldn't mind some chasing.

He snuck into the kitchen. Even though he was several feet away, the heat from the ovens made him uncomfortable. He ccrept up to an unattended tray on the stove top. He reached out to grab one when he heard an outraged squeal behind him. He saw an elf staring at him angrily. Then without warning the elf threw the tray he was holding, at him. Jack laughed and dodged it with ease. That's when the other elves noticed him. They all squealed in protest grabbing the pots and pans on the stove top to chuck at him. At first Jack laughed in delight until he realized the things they were throwing at him were hot.

"Hey I'm sorry!" Jack yelled frantically, panic making him leap away from the potential danger. What he did not realize was the oven behind him. The oven he ran straight into. The shock made him stand there for a second until he felt searing hot pains. He screamed, dropping to the floor in agony.

Bunny POV

Bunny was dreading the monthly meeting. It's not that he minded the actual meeting he just hated putting up with Jack. And it wasn't that he really minded the winter spirit himself, he just minded the cold that radiated off of him, and his obsession of trying to successfully irritate him. But he sighed anyway and tapped his foot creating a tunnel.

When he arrived at the North pole. Sandy, North, and Tooth were having a casual conversation.

"Sad," Bunny began, all attention turning to him, " Frostbite lives here and still fails to show up on time." He said sarcastically bracing himself for the winter spirit to fly out of nowhere and freeze him. But that didn't happen.

North suddenly looked around in concern. "He should be here somewhere." he muttered.

Tooth immediately jumped the gun, "Do you think he is okay? Should we go after him? Do you-"

"TOOTH" Bunny yelled gaining her attention. "I'm sure he's fine, probably out freezing someone to death." he said not in the least bit worried.

North frowned and shook his head, "He was here-" He was cut off by a bloodcurdling scream. For a second the guardians stared at each other trying to decide if they heard it right. They were proven right when a second scream came. Bunny took off, leaving the others in the dust. He didn't know why he felt so worried, it was probably on of the elves that were screaming in protest at Jack who'd probably played a prank on them. But something felt...different. The scream sounded more of pain than frustration.

He pinpointed the reoccurring screams to the kitchen. When he slammed the door open what he saw was the last thing he expected. Jack was curled up in ball at the bottom of an opened oven door. He was clutching his staff to his chest and screaming at the top of his lungs. Bunny rushed to his side closing the oven door. "Mate can you hear me, what's wrong?" Jack's response was a scream and thrashing in a way that made Bunny think he was trying to crawl away.

Bunny reached out to touch him and was startled to find that he was Luke-warm instead of beyond icy cold. He pulled his hand back startled. It was then the other guardians showed up. They burst through the door and took in the scene around them.

Tooth was, naturally, the first one to react. "Oh no! Is he okay? Jack? Jack?- "

"TOOTH" Bunny yelled for the second time that day. She stopped, looking down, ashamed. The Sandman inched closer curiosity written on his face. "North,- he's warm." Bunny said worriedly. North acknowledged this with fear written on his face.

They stared in worried silence, until Bunny said, "we need to move him."

"Where?" North asked.

"Outside, it's the coldest." he replied thinking fast. He'd thought of moving him to his room, sure that it would have icicles growing on the ceiling, and frost on the windows, but he was afraid that the room would warm up to quickly with Jack being like this.

When nobody moved Bunny sighed and scooped up the screaming spirit. Jeez this kid is light he thought randomly. He carried him for a little ways before Jack was arching his back in agony, and swinging his arms and legs and staff in every direction. This time, thankfully, someone reacted. Tooth fluttered over to hold his arms and take his staff, while Sandy floated up and attempted to hold his legs. North was snapped out of his daze and rushed to the door opening it quickly to run ahead and open another door that led to the freezing arctic air.

When they got outside, Bunny gently set him down and hoped the cold helped. It must've helped some because he stopped thrashing and lay still. Not sure if he should be concerned or not he checked all over his body but found nothing out of the ordinary. Sighing in frustration and sitting back on his haunches he noticed North returning from the shop.

"The elves said that they weren't trying to hurt him, but he was trying to steal cookies and that they started throwing hot pots and pans at him, he panicked and in his attempt to escape, he ran into an oven." North said before he could ask.

Bunny stared at him in disbelief. "You mean to tell me they threw hot things at him? I swear I will-" he was cut off by North.

"Bunny, they are elves, and, well, you know." North said calmly, but Bunny could still hear the irritation behind his careful tone.

Bunny saw that he was not alone in feeling angry. Sandy had sand steam coming out of his ears and Tooth had a frown that etched deep into her features. Before he could comment North quickly said, " I think I'll go look in the library for anything helpful." and Tooth quickly followed him into the workshop. It was basically cover for, 'I don't want to see him like this so I'll go find something to distract myself '. Bunny didn't judge though. He knew that ever since Jack moved in, North and him had a father son relationship going on.

Him and the Sandman watched Jack for awhile, when they became concerned that he wasn't coming to yet. Bunny reached out to touch him and was startled by the sudden screaming and thrashing that came from the boy.

Jack POV

Jack was standing in front of Bunny and North who frowned down at him. "Go away" North commanded. "No one wants you" Bunny sneered. When Jack tried to protest Bunny grabbed him and knocked him to the ground. North began to smack him and kick him while Bunny snapped his staff repeatedly, causing him the most unimaginable pain. He screamed and thrashed in attempt to get away, but the older guardians were stronger.

"JACK!" he heard someone yell. His shoulders were being shook and he snapped his eyes open. A scream rose in his throat, it was Bunny the same one who was beating him just a second ago.
