Disclaimer: i don't own the rise of the guardians characters

I yawned and sat up in bed, the light from my open window blinding me. The events of yesterday and this morning came rushing back and I smiled happily. I jumped out of bed and hopped my way down the stairs.

"Easter Bunny hop hop hop" I said cutely for anyone who was listening and I got surprised by a hug

"Hello Sophie dear" a voice said

"AUNTIE MIRANDA" I yelled and I hugged her back happily, I adored my Auntie and she was one of the only people who believe my adventure's with The Guardians

"That was your brother's reaction too" Auntie said

"Jamie left already?" I asked and my auntie nodded

"He had to get there early so he could play with his friends for a while but he told me to tell you that Jack and Bunnymund are coming over, who are those two I wonder?" Auntie said with a smiled and I smiled back giggling.

"Jack is Jack Frost and Bunnymund is the Easter bunny's real name, they are really nice even though they do fight a lot. It's funny to watch until Bunny gets really angry then I pull him away to play with me" I said as if I hadn't told her this a millions times before "We play hide and seek and we paint eggs and it's really fun!"

"That's wonderful dear! come on lets go have breakfast then we can go shopping for a present for the Easter Bunny and Jack Frost if you want to" Auntie said with a kind smile on her face and I nodded.

When we got to the table-which was only a few steps from where me and my Auntie had been talking-my parents were talking about work, so I tuned them out and ate my toast thinking about gifts. I stood up and put my plate in the sink and got out chocolate milk for me to drink as I waited for my auntie to finish her breakfast.

"Miranda why do you encourage her?" my dad said and I took a step back, mum wasn't there and I could hear sounds coming from the living room.

"Because Children need their freedom, I'm not letting you take that away from Jamie or Sophie, Kyle" My Auntie said with a protectiveness in her voice that made me want to hug her tightly and never let go but instead I walked out, smiling as if I hadn't heard anything.

"Sophie honey Jamie told me to give this to you when you woke up" My mum walked over to me with a homemade book in her hand. I took it off her and saw it was another book about Bunnymund; I squealed and ran up to my room eager to put it with the rest of my books. I walked-skippped more like- into my room and slipped the book inside the pillow case happily, I got changed into my pink parka jacket, a blue tank top with a panda on it and warm pastel green pants. I put on my warm socks and my pink sneakers and I walked out of my room and downstairs.

"Auntie ready to go?" I asked excitedly and my Auntie stood up and grabbed her handbag, she smiled at me and I smiled back.

She drove us to the shopping centre and I got a blue and silver scarf for Jack and for Bunny I got a really fluffy cloak so he would be warm whenever Jack freezes the Warren. It was emerald green, with patterns of flowers on it and reminded me of Bunny's eyes and of Spring. I looked out the window as we drove home, smiling to myself as I imagined Bunny's face when I gave it to him. We parked and I ran up to the door and i waited as my Auntie came up and un-locked the door, I ran to my room and tried to wrap the gifts but in the end mum had to do it.

"Thank you mummy" I said then I kissed her on the cheek and walked into my room with them, I put the gifts on my bed and went to my desk and started to draw.

"What are ya doing? Ankle bitter" Bunny said and I span around in my chair and smiled when I saw him a few hours later, I hadn't even heard him come in!

"Bunny!" I said then I ran over to my bed and gave him, his gift trying to keep my excitement off my face. He opened it and smiled he took it out and put it on. I giggled and clapped happily "it's for when Jack freezes the warren it will keep you nice and warm!"

"Thank Soph" Bunny said and he put it away "Don't want it to get dirty"

"Jamie made another book about you, I haven't read it yet" I said smiling, happy that he'd liked the gift like I'd hoped he would.

"Do you want to come to the Warren to paint some eggs? And speaking of Jamie is he at school?" Bunny asked and I nodded "Frostbite get in here!"

Jack sat on my window causing me to giggle when he sent a snowflake my way and I gave him his gift smiling

"Jamie's at school, it should be first break if you want to go visit him" I said and Jack nodded as he unwrapped the white wrapping paper, he grinned at the gift and put it on posing like a model for a moment-and causing me to burst into giggles-before he flew out of the window and was gone in a flash.

"We go to warren now?" I asked and Bunny nodded smiling, Bunny tapped the ground and a tunnel appeared. I took Bunny's hand and we jumped down.

"Fun!" I said laughing, it was like sliding down a slide and I giggled when we landed in the Warren, I smiled and stood up it had been awhile since I'd been here but everything looked the same. There was the color river, the huge stone eggs keeping guard, the little white eggs wandering around and not a bit of frost could be seen on any of the gorgeous plants

I looked at Bunny after I'd looked around more and he put his hand out and we walked towards where the eggs get painted every day as I wrapped my fingers around his paw. We sat down and we began to hand paint some of the eggs.

I snuck a look at Bunny and saw the egg he was painting was beautiful ,I looked at mine and sighed quietly. It looked really bad but I didn't give up! I smiled and giggled as I saw pictures in the swirls and the mash of colors and I let the egg go and it ran off. A egg jumped into my lap and I laughed and began painting again, I started painting anything but to me it looked like I was painting the stars in the sky.

"You alright there Soph?" Bunny asked and I nodded and continued with what I was doing. I let the newly painted egg go and I picked up another one and just started painting,

"Peter cotton tail you home?" Jack yelled and I quickly hid behind a huge stone rock who sat down so I could hide properly behind it after I saw Bunny flick his wrist, which was our sign of 'hide'

"What do you want Frostbite" Bunny said annoyed and I tried not to giggle

"Do I need a reason to come over and annoy you?" Jack said leaning on his staff

"Don't you have Jamie to look after?" Bunny said going back to painting the egg and I peeked around the egg slightly but Jack's back was turned to me so I was safe

"Break ended" Jack shrugged "So I came to annoy you because well Sophie is with you most of the time right? Jamie says I need to try harder to become someone she trusts, she only trusts you, her family and well her family"

"Mate now really ain't the best time to do that, she still shaken up about getting attacked yesterday" Bunny said as he continued painting "When she's feeling better I'll let you know"

"Thank you Kangaroo I owe you" Jack said laughing before he ran off and disappeared, the ice that had appeared when he landed melting away

I walked out and sat down next to Bunny again and realized that what Bunny said was true I was still shaken up about the whole Pitch thing, possibly explained why I was so calm in dealing with my Dad at the moment-I wasn't sure-but I took a deep breath and started painting again, time passed quickly and soon it was dark and I was tired. I yawned and Bunny looked at me and smiled, he packed everything up quickly before picking me up.

"Let's get you home" Bunny said and I shook my head sleepily

"Can't I stay here for the night?" I mumbled not meaning for him to hear but he tensed and sighed softly

"Sure Soph" Bunny carried me to his home and i opened my eyes, gasping. It was adorable, there was Bunny's unmade bed, a fire place and two chairs there.

"This is wow" I whispered and Bunny chuckled softly

"Here" Bunny put me on one of the chairs and I curled up but leaned away from the backing of the chair as he wrapped a blanket around me. "Night Ankle bitter"

"Nighty Night Bun Bun" I said then I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

I looked around everywhere was pitch black, I started getting a feeling of dread and I gulped nervously

"Looks like The Guardians abandoned you, didn't they? Little Sophie" Pitch's voice rang threw the darkness and I ran. I ran as fast as I could away from the sound and pictures started playing and I stopped and looked. It was Jamie, Jamie's friends and The Guardians all of them standing on the lake saying good bye to the each other and I couldn't see me where my brother had told me that I was with Pippa. Tears leaked down my cheeks and I ran. The pictures kept coming and I fell to the ground and curled up in a ball, Pitch's nightmares walked over to me and-

I woke up and I threw the blanket off me and quickly looked around, my beating heart calming when I saw Bunny fast asleep. I went and quietly went and knelt at the foot of the bed watching him sleep, as I started to calm down more. I smiled when Bunny wasn't being Bunny he was this, a person like me but I didn't want to wake him up so I went back to my seat and put the blanket around my shoulders.

I stared at the fire and stood up, put the blanket on the chair and walked out of his hut, I started to walk around the Warren. It was peaceful the huge eggs didn't think of me as a threat as they had seen me before the day before so I was able to wander around. I sat down on a hill and I stared out looking at everything and slowly the Warren began to get lighter and warmer. I stood up smiling and walked back to Bunny's house, only to have him grab me and pull me inside. He stood there glaring at me, I looked down at my hands I didn't think he would get this angry.

"I'm sorr-" I began but Bunny cut me off

"Don't Sophie how do you think I felt when I woke up and you were gone? I thought Pitch had got you to get back at us! Sophie you're like a little sister to me and I can't bear the thought if I lost you" Bunnymund said and for the first time when I looked up he had tears in his eyes, I hugged him as tightly as I could and he hugged back.

"Bunny you're like a big brother to me too and I promise I'll leave a note or something before I go out again and I had a nightmare" I said and Bunny hugged me tighter

"What happened in the dream ankle bitter?" he asked and so I told him even what Pitch had said "Let's go tell the rest of The Guardians ok?"

I nodded and we were in a tunnel to the North Pole in seconds, we arrived and I saw Jamie and Jack siting on a window seat and as if Jamie could feel me looking at him he looked up and waved. I waved back and I held Bunny's hand.

"North! Get here now!" everyone looked at Bunny who seemed very pissed off and then looked at me, I shook my head 'I'll tell you later' I mouthed to them and they nodded.

"What is it old friend?" North said then he saw Bunny "What happened?"

"Pitch gave Sophie a nightmare and crickey it was a bad one" Bunny said and he told everyone my nightmare and the pure anger on the guardians' faces were unreal.

"We told him to leave you both alone, oh that is it! I'm going after Pitch so whose coming with me?" Jack said and all The Guardians nodded, that shocked me. Could they do that?

"Wait!" I said before they turned to leave as I realized something "It could be a trap, the anger your feeling is a weakness he is going to use against you! you'll attack blindly and won't think anything through"

Everyone looked at me and nodded they knew I was right but they just wanted it to end, I could see it on their faces

"It's a risk we are willing to make, Jamie make sure your sister stays here" North said then The Guardians left I sighed and sat down on a couch, I didn't like this but they were The Guardians of childhood and hopefully they'd be okay.

"Let's go see if the yeti's need help hmm?" Jamie suggested and I nodded, if you're stuck in a house full of toys and well you'd kinda want to help make them. Half an hour later according to Jamie's watch-which I snuck a peek at-The Guardians came back and shh'ed them all before they could make up my sleeping brother.

"Quiet!" Jack hissed at North and he went quiet from where he was chatting to Tooth.

"How'd you get him to sleep?" Jack asked

"Jack I'm his sister, I can calm him down fast than u can say 'a' you should know that" I said smiling and Jack nodded thoughtfully.

"I'll take him and Sophie home ok?" Jack said and The older Guardians nodded, Jack picked up Jamie and I held jack's hand and the wind flew us home. Jack dropped me off in my room the he dropped Jamie off in his but Jack stayed with him. I crawled into bed and stared out of my window at the moon.

"Good night Bunny, my secret favorite guardian" I said with a yawn then I was fast asleep.
