Well, here we go!
Ch.2 The Guardians and Surprises
Hana was at school, so Aster was all alone in the house. He thought she looked in her twenties, but she is actually seventeen! He could still remember Hana laughing at his mistake.
"Hey, everyone else thought I looked older, so you're not the only one." She said.
He sighed as he sat on the bed. The injuries were looking a little better, but his ankle was still hurting as he tries to shift it slightly. He munched on a carrot as he stared around at the room. He was a little curious of her interests.
Then, he saw a sketchbook on the floor that was right next to his bed. He reached down slightly to pick it up. He was a little curious of what type of artwork he does. When he opened it, he was impressed.
One of the drawings was a little dragon playing with an adult dragon as it stares at the other dragon hatchlings laying next to him, one of them trying to catch the bigger dragon's tail. He smiled at the scene as he flipped the next one.
Hana really knew how to draw fantasy creatures very well and it really surprised him. But when he flipped onto the last page, he was a little shocked from the last picture.
It showed a baby dragon staring at two adult dragons who are busy and not paying attention to the little baby dragon, who had tears in it's eyes. Bunny sighed, guessing that the baby dragon was Hana and the adult dragons is Hana's mom and dad.
That's when it hit him. Did Jamie and Sophie had a sibling that the Guardians didn't know about?
"...I guess you found my sketch book about my personal feelings."
He almost jump as he turned his head to see Hana leaning against the door frame. He blinked as she smiled sadly. "Well, I don't blame you. You would've found out sooner or later." She said as she got the pack of ice out and sat on the edge of the bed.
He stared at her as she place the new bag of ice on his ankle. He didn't hiss that time as she checked on his wounds. He saw that they were healing. "Does your ankle still hurt?" She asked.
"...just when I put too much pressure on it, but other than that..." Hana stared at him and smiled. "You wanna try walking on it?" She asked. He smiled at her as he swinged his legs so that they were touching the ground. So slowly, he stood up and Hana beside him just in case he fell.
It was only stinging slightly, but he was standing. Then, he started to walk slightly. It was still stinging slightly, but he can still walk. Hana smiled. "Well...just try not to overdue yourself or you'll be bed ridden again for another week because of that." She said.
Bunny smiled at her and sat back down on the bed, Hana sitting next to him. "...so, one of yer parents are an older siblin' to the ankle-biters?" He asked. Hana stared at him, thinking for a moment.
"I think my dad was Jamie and Sophie's eldest brother. He was only two years older than Jamie and he was at his dad's house when this was all happening, the battle of Pitch, I mean." She said.
Bunny nodded as he glances at the window. He then noticed how she was wearing long sleeves and it was really warm out today. "Why are ya wearin' long sleeves? It was warm out taday, last time I heard." He said. Hana shrugged.
"They like keeping the school cold on the inside. They won't turn on the heat, so I wear long sleeves everyday just because of that." Hana said, tugging at her long sleeves.
He didn't want to push it because he knew she was lying, just don't want to push it far, so he lets it go for now. Hana then snapped her fingers. "That reminds me! I need to give something back to you!" She said as she got up and heads towards the closet. Bunny was confused. But then, his went wide with surprised.
It was his sash as she holds it in her hands.
"I had to get this off of you when I was treating your wounds when you were unconcious. But don't worry, nothing is missing." She said as she hands it to him. Slowly, he took out the two enchanted boomerangs that were still look like they're brand new and polished.
Hana then handed him his gauntlets for his arms. Slowly, he strapped them on as he puts his sash on around his left shoulder.
Just then, Hana heard the door open out front. Her brother was home as he had a letter. Hana looked at Bunny. "My brother's here. I'm going to talk to him for a second." She said as she stood up and walked out.
He sighed as she closed the door slightly. He wanted to know what was going on. Just then, he heard yelling from Hana and her brother.
"Draco! You promised!" She said.
"I know, Hana! But they need me there and I can't ignore it!" He said. Bunny slowly opened the door as he quietly walked down stairs and stopped half way so that no one could see her.
"I told you not to do it! You know what will happen if you go!?" Hana asked, obviously some tears were evidence in her eyes. Draco sighed as he knelt infront of her.
"...I know you're against this. But I need to go on that business trip so that I can support us both." He said. Hana shook her head. "No! You said that you promise not to do it! First, our parents are never home and then it's you!" She then darted out of the door.
"Hana, wait!" Draco yelled, but it was too late. She was long gone.
Draco sighed as he tried to think of a way. Should he go after her? Or wait until she calms down?
However, he didn't see something sneak out of the doorway.
Bunnymund ran on all fours as he tried to search for Hana. She shouldn't run out like that. It was soon started to rain as he tried to find Hana as his ears flicker slightly to hear anything.
He sniffed the air sllightly as he tried to find Hana in the rain. It was a little hard, thanks to the rain that can mask any scent for an animal. But he managed to pick up her scent as he kept running.
Meanwhile, Hana was on the ground as she sat near the edge of the lake, hugging her legs as tears started to flow down her cheek. She chucked a rock as it made a loud splash, making the water ripple even more.
She was tired of being alone. She was alone her entire life and she was sick of it. Why does it only happen to her. First, her parents are gone all of the time, and now her brother is going as well?
Is she the only one in her family that can make sense in her house.
Just then, she heard something next to her. She thought it was her brother, but when she turned her head, it was Bunny. Most of his fur was soaked as he stared at her, his eyes showing a hint of anger and annoyance.
She looks down guilty and sighed. "Go on ahead." She said. Bunny cocked his head. "Tell me that I'm an idiot for running out here like that and out in the middle of the rain." She said.
He was a little taken back from what she just said. He sighed as she sat down next to her on the grass and wrapped an arm around her shoulder, pulling her close.
"...I wouldn' say yer an idiot, but it wasn' smart of ya ta run out like that. And while it's rainin'." He said. A single tear ran down her cheek as she clenched to his hand slightly, who he gradually returned the favor as he gave her hand a gentle squeeze.
"I'm just tired of being by myself all the time. It gets...a little scary when I'm by myself in that house." She said. He sighed as he rubbed her shoulder soothingly.
"C'mon...Let's get ya home 'n out of the rain." He said as he stood up, pulling Hana to her feet as he helped her walk back, the rain soaking them both. She lets out a light sneeze as she shivered. Bunny cursed silently under his breath.
She's going to get sick. So, he lowered himself next to her. Hana stared at him confused as he gave her an irratated look. "Well? What are ya waitin' fo'?" He asked. Hana then realized what he wanted her to do.
"You sure? What about your ankle?" She asked. Bunny stared at her, but lowered his back even more. "I can always stay another week if it comes ta that. Yer goin' ta get sick soon if I don't get ya home now."
Hana hesitated, but then sighed as she wrapped her arms around his furry neck and got on his back. He then ran on all fours as he carried Hana back to the castle. Hana was blushing. She was on the Easter Bunny's back. Sophie was right. He was fast; faster than what she expected.
Soon, the house came to view as Bunny stood up, Hana still on his back. He can feel her shivering from the cold and heard a slight sneeze from her again. As soon as he got inside, it was quiet.
Hana felt a tear ran down her cheek as she unconciously tighten her grip around Bunny's neck. He noticed her mood changed as he gave her a small pat on her arm slightly, silently telling her that everything will be okay.
He managed to get Hana to the bathroom and waited outside the bathroom door for her to finish bathing. He sighed as he waited for Hana to finish. Her brother must've left for work and just decided to let Hana calm down on her own.
Some brother he's suppose to be.
He heard a door opened to see Hana dress in a long sleeve night gown. Her face looked a little flustered as he touched her forehead. She felt warm. "Alright, c'mere, Sheila." He said as he carried her in his arms.
She blushed a dark red when she felt his arms around her. No one has ever carried her like this before. Not even her brother does this for her. As soon as he got to her room, he gently laid her down on the bed, then sitting in the chair she usually sits on when she was nursing him back to health.
"...my brother's gone?" She asked. He sighed as he nodded. "Haven't heard anythin' when we got 'ere." He said. She felt more tears running down her cheek. She quickly wiped them away, trying not to be weak infront of the Hope Guardian.
She then felt a furry hand stroking her cheek slightly. She looks up to see Bunny staring at her, smiling sadly. "Hey, now. No need ta hide tha tears. Nothin' to be ashamed of." He said, stroking her cheek.
She looks down, still feeling the tears rolling down her cheek and some landing on Bunny's hand. "...my dad said that shedding tears waste other's time and space. That's why I hardly cry now infront of people. They...wouldn't care if I did...so I don't cry." She said.
"Hey, that's not true." He said, letting her sit up slightly. "Everyone deserves a good cry every now and then, so it's nothin' to be ashamed of. Yer just having some stress in ya and yer lettin' it all out. I don' know about yer dad, but he's wrong. So don't feel bad because of that."
Hana stared at him shocked slightly as he took a rag and slowly dabbed the wet cloth on her face to help wipe the tears away. That made her cry even more as she wrapped her arms around his chest.
Bunny didn't know what to do. He was never in this type of situation before. He suddenly felt a cold breeze run through his fur. When he looked up to see what it was at the window, he was a little surprise.
It was Jack. He was smirking at Bunny who folded his ears back slightly. He then gestered the girl and mouthed at him 'what do I do?'. Obviously, Jack gave him an annoyed look and frosted the window and written something on there.
'Hug her back, you idiot!'
Bunny was a little surprised from the winter spirit's comment. So he stared at the girl that held him close, her face buried into his chest as she cried softly. So slowly, he wrapped his furry arms around her, never feeling so awkward before. He occasionally stroked her hair as she kept crying. After a good ten minutes, everything tuned down.
Bunny felt Hana slump against him. "Hey, don' tell me yer asleep?" He asked; shaking her slightly. He looks at her face to see that she is. He sighed as he settled her dowm on the bed.
Jack opened the door and sat next to Bunny, the room now feeling cooler as Hana sighed in her sleep. "About time I found you, Cotton Tail. We searched everywhere for you and I find you hugging a high school girl." He said, a smirk on his face.
Bunny glared at him. "Oi! Let's get things straight, Frost! First, I wasn't hugging 'er at first, I was never in that situation like that in years! Two, I was injured when Pitch attacked me while me back was turned!" He said. That's when Jack stood silent. "He attacked you?" He asked. Bunny had his head low, his ears folded back slightly.
"Yeh...he did. I thought I wouldn' make it. But she saved me life and I ow it that much to 'er." He said, staring ath the sleeping girl who was was breathing heavilly due to the fever she had.
"Wait...this girl saved you?" Jack asked. Bunny nodded. "She nursed me back to health. I mean, me ankle still hurts a little, but not that much now. She managed to get me to her house by herself an'...she did everthin' ta make sure I'm in perfect health." He said, so slowly stroking the fevered girl with one comforting paw.
She tensed a little, but she sighed deeply. Jack stared at her and sighed as well. Slowly, he saw the rag that was next to her on a desk and held it in his hands. Slowly, he blew an icy cold breath on it and placed it on her forehead.
Bunny stared at her, then at Jack with an confused expression on his face. "Don't worry, Kangaroo. It'll help her take her fever down a bit." Jack laughed at his confused expression.
Jack then stared at Hana as she slept. "...so she's Jamie's and Sophie's niece?" He asked. Bunny was surprised. "How do ya know-"
"Bunny," Jack started, "You wouldn't believe how many times I visited Jamie and how he brags about his niece; saying that she's the greatest girl to be around with and saying that alot of people should be like her." He said as he slowly stroked Hana's cheek, his icy cold touch soothing her slightly.
She snuggled deeper into her sleep as she felt the icy cold touch from the winter spirit.
Bunny then felt a guilt in his heart as his ears folded back again. "So ya know about...what happened ta Jamie 'n Sophie, then?" He asked. Jack had a sad expression on his face as he nodded. "Yeah...It hit me kinda hard when I heard what happened. But, she was hit the most out of everyone." He said as he stared at Hana.
Bunny nodded as he stared at the girl. "Yeah...who would've thought that we would run into the ankle bita's niece? After what has happened, she still is a child by heart and still beilieves." He said.
Jack laughed. "So, when are you going to be back at the Pole? Do you want to go now? Or do you want stay here with her a little while longer?" He asked. Bunny stared at Jack a little surprised, but then stared at Hana with a grave expression on his face.
"...tell North I'll be there in a few weeks. I wanna wait 'till her parents show up and make sure she's safe." He said. Jack nodded. "Yeah, Jamie told me once that his brother was a traveling agent and would mostly drop Hana off to him and he takes care of her." He said as he stood up.
"Don't worry, Kangaroo. I'll cover you in the meetings." He said as he flew off to the North Pole.
Bunny stared at Jack as he flew out the window. There's not alot about Frost than what he knows. There's more to him and that's probably why he and Hana are so alike.
He stared at Hana as he slowly held her hand in one of his paws, giving it a gentle squeeze. "Just focus on gettin' better, Sheila. Yer in good hands now." He said, stroking the top of her hand with his furry thumb.
~Later that Night~
Bunny was awoken when he heard a familiar laugh.
"There you are!" A voice said. Bunny jolted slightly as he yelled something in his sleep. "Get out of me Warren! What happen, eh?" He suddenly said as he opened his eyes to see North, or Santa Clause but everyone calls him North, trying to squeeze through the window.
North managed to get in through the window and into the room, along with Tooth, the Tooth Fairy and Sandy, the Sandman. Jack then came in, holding his hands up in a defensive way.
"I told them you would handle this, but they wouldn't listen." He said. Just when he was about to tell Jack something, he was suddenly cut off when Tooth wrapped her arms around his furry neck.
"Jack told us what happened! Are you okay, Bunny!?" She asked. Bunny managed to pat her back awkwardly as he pull her away. "Sheila, I'm fine. But can ya keep yer voices down?" He asked.
They were about to ask until he pointed at Hana who was still fast asleep; the rag still on her forehead. North then smiled. "Ah, this must be Jamie and Sophie's neice. Jack told us about her." He said. Bunny stared at Jack with an annoyed look yet again. Jack held his hands up.
"They won't leave me alone until I talk." He said. Bunny growled under his breath as he shook his head. "Look, I got it covered 'ere. Ya need to keep an eye out fo' Pitch. I got it covered 'ere." He said.
North shook his head. "He hurted you, Bunny and I refused to do that. Now on, we do turns of keep watch on Pitch together." North said. Bunny was shocked from what North said.
Hana stired slightly in her sleep as she fluttered her eyes open. The Guardians froze from what they were doing. Her eyes were unfocused as she stares ahead of her. She then sighed as she closed her eyes, falling back asleep.
The Guardians sighed in relief; glad that Hana didn't see the rest of them yet. Jack felt her forehead. Her fever was still there, but was fading slightly. So, he added more cool on the rag and place it back on her forehead.
"How did she get a fever?" Tooth asked. Bunny stared at the ground slightly, rubbing the back of his head nervously. "Ya see...Hana and 'er brother got inta a little argument and...she kinda ran out while it was rainin'. I managed ta get her back here, but she came down with a fever." He said.
Tooth was a little surprised. Bunny glances at Hana who was still fast asleep. "...she's tired of bein' alone an...well...Frost knows most of the story more than I do." He said. Jack nodded as he stared at Sandy.
"Sandy, can you do your job here?" He asked. Sandy smiled and nodded as he lets his dream sand flow towards Hana. She sighed deeply as the dream sand does their work. She was on a back of a horse as it gallops across a field of some sort. It was time they show themselves to Hana of they were here.
Hana slowly woke up the next morning as she stared around. She was feeling a little better as she sat up. She glances around, thinking about what had happened.
"Oh, good. You're awake." A teenage voice said.
Hana turned her head to see a white haired boy with icy blue eyes. His navy blue sweater was somewhat frosted as his ancient brown pants were torn slightly at the bottom. His staff was by his side as he leaned against it. Hana stared at him surprised.
"...Jack Frost." She whispered. Jack smirked.
"I guess Jamie told you about me and the others, huh?" He said. Hana nodded as she winced and clenched to her head slightly. "Whoa, easy there, kiddo. I managed to cool you down so that your fever can leave you alone. We don't want you overheating again." He said while smirking. Hana stared at him and smiled.
"...thank you, Jack." She said. He smirked as he ruffled the top of her head slightly. "No problem. Thanks for looking after Bunny. The others were panicking of why he didn't show up for a few days." He said. Hana then noticed that Bunny was gone.
"Wait, where's Bunny?" She asked. Jack glances at the window, which was still pouring out. "He's out patrolling with the other Guardians. I told them I would keep an eye on you." He said.
Hana stared at him. "The others are here, too?" She asked. Jack smirked as he made the rag a little cold and placed it on her forehead and gestured her to lay down.
"Yeah...I guess North owes you for looking after Bunny when he got hurt." He said as he sat on the edge of the bed. She stared at Jack as she sighed, knowing that all of her family members are gone for a few weeks, but mostly her parents.
She then felt the icy cold touch on her cheek; making her stare at Jack, who was smiling sadly. "Hey, now...no need to cry. You got the Guardians now." He said. Hana didn't realized that she was crying.
She sat up and wiped the tears away again.
"Snowflake, what did ya do this time?" A familiar voice said. Hana turned her head to see Bunny leaning against the door frame, his arms crossed against his chest. Jack held his hands up in a defensive way.
"Hey, don't look at me. I didn't do anything." He said. Hana stared at Bunny, tears still evidence in her eyes. Bunny walked closer to her and stroked the top of her head.
"Hey, what's wrong?" He asked. She shook her head as she wrapped her arms around his chest once more. Bunny was still feeling awkward about these situations. Bunny stared at Jack. Jack stared at him, a eye brow raised. Bunny then mouthed to Jack 'I'm never in these type of situations', making Jack stare at him shocked.
Jack then gestured Bunny to hug her back. Bunnymund glances down at the girl crying into his chest. Slowly, he wrapped his arms around her and returned the embrace.
This is going to be hard to get use to.
Here is Chapter two and I am going to update Chapter 3 very soon.
Until then,
