Rays of lights were perking their way to me. I could feel the warm sensation on my face as I was stirring from my sleep. For how long was I asleep? I don't even remember what happened before that. All I knew for the moment was that it felt chillier than usual, and that what I was lying on was soft and bouncy. My hand flew to my face, trying to hide it from the early morning light. Wait...My hand? I suddenly opened my green eyes to discover the biggest shock of my life: No more fur. It looked like I was in some kind of human body. This was impossible! I quickly passed my hands through my "new" hair the only thing that I was relieved of (there was still some kind of fur on me), but I could find a hint of my ears on the top of my head. My breathing started to go faster, not understanding what had happened to me, and that I didn't know where I was. The room I was in looked like some kind of average teenage boy's room, but a bit too clean for it to be. The room was dark, with rays of light coming through the blinds of a small window at the top of the wall, like if I was in some kind of basement. What I could distinguish, the walls were some kind of greyish-blue colour, and the room was kind o small in an odd angle (a bit like a shrimp angle. There was a locker not too far from the door; sitting in front of it was a drawer with a desk and chair right next to it. As for me, I was on a low bed at the far corner of the room right under the window, messy green sheets all over it with a dark grey-blue blanket covering all.
This was crazy! I wasn't in my warrant anymore and in certainly not the right body. I was at least pleased to see that I had pants on (looking like joggings to me). But having pants wouldn't solve anything? Was it the doing of Pitch? If I put my hands on this guy, I swear he will not forget this encounter! But then it hit me: Were the others all right? What if something happened to them! What happened to me? Was I dead or something?
"Calm down Aster", I told myself, "it's probably just a bad dream. Yeah. Somet'in with the dream sand must have gone wron-"
At that moment, a scream of terror was heard in the, I suppose, house. It sounded like a girl. My instincts took over my thoughts as I jumped out of my bed running to the door to open it. All I could see pass that was a dark room with stair at the other side lighted by the sunlight I guessed. No time to analyse the surrounding, I ran to the stair climbing them two by two, hearing some footsteps running down. Arriving at the ground floor of the house, another figure was running down another set of stair, which had for effect that we both run into each other's, sending the other delicate figure to the ground. Rebalancing myself from the impact, I looked over the slim shadow I ran into. She looked like some kind of indian girl with her tanned skin; she had long curly brown hair to her shoulder with some green and purple locks a bit all over her head. When she raised her head, she looked at me with terrified purple eyes, almost backing up from me before being stop by the wall. She looked kind of familiar, but I couldn't quite replace where I've seen this girl before. I had to show her I wasn't a threat, maybe she knew what happened to me. I slowly approached her, giving her my hand to help her get up.
"Are ya alright sheila?"
As soon as I spoke, it seemed to have ringed a bell in her head as she tilt it frowning her eyebrows.
"Bunny?!"
And I understood perfectly why she made that face as my brain proceeded the information as well. No wonder this girl was familiar.
"Tooth?! What happened to ya?!"
Where was all of her feathers, and her wings?! She seemed to be in the same situation than I was. Now I knew why she screamed, although she wasn't that bad in her human form, quite pretty actually- What was I thinking! It wasn't the time for those thoughts! It was a serious mystery that we had to elucidate as fast as we could…especially if the tooth fairy wasn't around anymore, what would happen to Tooth? Her believers, if they stopped believing in her because of this unknown problem, she was screwed. The voice of Tooth suddenly brought me out of my delirium:
"I could return the question. Have you seen yourself lately?"
"Not really. All I know is that like you, I'm stuck in a human body for who knows why."
Her face meant all of her feelings. Her expression became blank, like she was hoping that I could provide her with some answer that I didn't know. Unfortunately, I was in the same boat as her. She finally took my hand to help herself get back on her feet. I never noticed how short she was until now. Since I must have kept my 6'1", I think she was about 5'2", but I never took note of it since she was always usually flying. Now that she was grounded, it almost seemed to me alien the fact that she had to stand on her feet. She dust off her pajama pants, once again with me thanking man in moon for her to have one and no just be…naked. It would have been a bit awkward, on the verge of feeling like Adam and Eve. And again with Tooth bringing me back on earth from my dirty thoughts:
"I presume you woke up like me: with no memories of how or when this problem might have happened."
"Ya got that right", I answered passing my right hand through my hair.
"Ooooh that's just great! Now how will I be able to collect the teeth? I can't even get in touch with my fairies! What will they do without me…"
And there she went, babbling over and over as fast as she could. I don't think I understood half of what she said. Getting stress was definitely not good for her. I had to calm her down before she begins to hyperventilate. I put my hands on her thin shoulders to bring her back to reality out of her delirium.
"Calm…Down! Panicking will not solve the problem sheila."
That seemed to calm her down…a bit. Slowly she took deep breath, and I could feel her shaking under my hands. I had to summon my mastering of Taï-chi to keep my cool down and not freak out like she just did. There had to be an answer to our problem. We had to make the other guardians know about our situation.
"Ah' know this is hard, but we must not panic. Everything is gonna be fine."
"You're right. But we don't know how we ended up like this! How are we going to be fine Bunny? Can you not see that we are both human!"
"Yes ah' got that part! The fact that we are at least alive is good", I reassured her as I straighten and let her go. "Now, we must find a way to warn the others."
"Don't bother with that kangaroo", a sleepy but familiar voice said from the stairs, "it's already done."
Both Tooth and I turned our head in the direction where the voice came from. Her eyes widened in shock but at the same time getting a hint of joy in them as she looked at the figure sitting at the top of the stairs. Me, I just sighed, feeling a headache coming, pressing my hand to my forehead.
"Oh crikey!"
It seemed that even the winter spirit hasn't been spared from this unfortunate event.
Right! So this is my first fanfict (English fanfict to be more precise). I tried to correct my typo mistakes as much as I could, but since I'm not really a writer, well…you get fanwork XD
Anyway, thank you for reading if you made it this far. Leave a comment if you appreciated, it would at least tell me that I'm on the right path. I'll try to write the next chapter as soon as possible (and I know I'm gonna get hit, because I should be reading "Guardians of Childhood vol.2" XD).
