She didn't know where she was, it was cold and dark. 'Wait a minute,'she thought and opened her eyes to reveal to all too familiar room that she used to call home. 'NO! This can't be happening, no, no, no,' she thought and fought against her restraints. Then an evil and dark laugh erupted throughout the room. "Well isn't this something. The little runaway is finally home, isn't that something. You have no idea how much Father and I have missed you. Little sister," the voice that spoke was smooth but not as deep as Pitch Black's and had more resentment in it. "Jet," she whispered in fear. "Ah that smell, the smell of my favorite person to terrorize's fear. Did you miss me, Darkess?," he asked his voice getting huskier. "L-let me go! Your not my brother and that bastard isn't my father," she said squirming uncomfortably at the thought of her being alone with Jet and vulnureable being tied up. She felt a hand on her face then and bit her lip expecting a slap or punch. When it never came she let her lip go and unclenched her eyes and opened them to find she could see the younger man around her age that, was an almost spitting image of the Nightmare King. His chocolate brown hair styled back except for a small amount of bangs that did a swoop on his forehead, his yellow eyes glimmering in the dim light, a sadistic smirk on his lips. "Did you honestly think I would strike you, please don't put me on Father's level. Trust me, if left up to him he would have tortured you. You should be thanking me, but that doesn't matter I know how you're going to make it up to me," he said and held her chin. "Never," she said. "You should know better than to say that Darkess. After all you said you would never return, and look where you are, HOME!," he said after clicking his tongue almost shouting at the end.
*Meanwhile with Manny and the others*
It seemed to take Tooth forever to finally calmed down and Manny seemed like he was going to break down any moment. Bunnymund was quiet during everything. "We need to hurry, who knows what they will do to her," Jack said and grabbed his staff before walking out the room. "Where do ya' think you're going Frostbite," Bunnymund asked. "Isn't it obvious? Going to bring back C- no Bring back Emiko," he said and left. "Wait Jack," Bunnymund said going after him pulling him off to a secluded corner. "Listen, Pitch has what he wanted. We don't have to fight him and now he will leave the children be," Bunnymund said. "It wasn't Pitch that kidnapped her. It was his son, Jet. Listen here Kangaroo, we aren't dealing with Pitch, we are dealing with someone much younger and much more cunning than Pitch will ever be. He is much more crueler than Pitch, so who's to say that after they do god knows what to her that her won't go after the children," Jack said.
"If this is about your guilty conscience frostbite I say LET IT GO! Okay, she can't be in too much danger if she's with her biological family. After all they have to at least care a little bit about her. T-" "It's not about that and caring doesn't help any," Jack said interrupting Bunnymund. "Why can't you just admit to yourself and to her and everyone else that you really do care what might be happening to her but you just feel betrayed because she kept that from us until now," Jack said eyes tearing up. "WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH FOR HER?!," Bunnymund asked raising his voice. "BECAUSE SHE WAS A BELIEVER! You might not care because she was just another child corrupted by Pitch in your eyes however, to me, she was the little girl trying her hardest to ice skate and building snowmen in the snow. She believed in me, even after she turned eighteen," Jack said his voice cracking. "To her I wasn't a Guardian, I was Jack Frost, her best friend," Jack said. "You can never be friends with someone like her," Bunnymund said. "So you don't care if they torture her, if Jet rapes her and leaves her for dead you don't care? What about Manny, are you really able to look in his eyes knowing that losing her will be devastating to him and tell him that you won't help rescue a fellow Guardian," Jack asked him clenching his fists.
"Jack that's not what-," Bunnymund started when Jack suddenly punched him in the stomach. "You can sit there and have your fucking internal conflict. I am going to rescue my little sister," Jack said. "After all that's why so many Guardians exist, is so we can be family. A family with Manny and Mother Nature as our parents. North and sandy as our uncles, Tooth our crazy yet amazing aunt, you the big brother, me the younger brother, and Emiko, the baby sister. If you're not coming fine, stay here until I get back, I'll storm their home to get her back if I have to, and I'll do it alone," Jack said and walked away. "Jack, wait," Bunnymund said through clenched teeth. "Bye Big bro, if I don't make it back it was nice knowing you," Jack said and left Bunnymund alone with his thoughts. 'Why her, it's not that I don't care... in actuality I care alot and it bothers me,'Bunnymund thought and stood up. He was walking when he noticed something and went over to pick it up. It was a small notebook, on the cover written in blue ink, it read: Cupid's Little Love Diary. Bunnymund tried his hardest but found himself smiling. He opened it up and flipped through it when somewhere in the middle something caught his eye. Dearest Little Lover, You want to know what I find so strange is the way Aster seems so careful and gentle with every egg he makes. It's quite funny really in an adorable perspective. I never thought that grumpy old Aster, would but so much effort into all the detail work he does. My favorite thing though, is to take an egg and have Jack preserve it in frost for me. I have been doing this for as long as I could remember, I have a huge collection of eggs handcrafted by Aster himself. It makes my heart flutter a little, thinking of him, I know I'm in love with him but if he ever found out about how I'm related to Pitch, he'll hate me. So for now, I guess I can handle watching him from the distance, like I have been for the past god knows how long. It's okay to cry because I know that love will never be returned and I know that one day he will hate me, because I would've told everyone the truth. But for know I cease the moment to even glance at him. Sincerely, Emiko.
"Oh sheila," Bunnymund said and went to find Jack. He found him, trying to keep Manny from going crazy. "FROSTBITE," he called out catching the Prince of Winter's attention. "Not now kangaroo, especially in front of Manny," Jack said handing the man in the moon a cup of relaxing herbal tea. "Is it true you helped her with preserving any egg of mine that she found," Bunnymund asked. "Yeah,she said something along the lines of appreciating the bright colors. Said she like the art on each one and the colors made the art even better. I know where she keeps them, if you would like to see, just don't destroy them," Jack said to Bunnymund. Bunnymund nodded and followed jack to an empty room where Jack pulled out one of Cupids specially designed travel cards and chanted the small spell that would take them to Cupid's Temple. When they got there Bunnymund was surprised, it was pleasant, calm tranquil koi pond and a magnificent rock garden. "Whoa," Bunnymund said and looked at his surroundings. "Don't fall behind, trust me, the little Temple Watchers don't like it when someone knew is brought in so much so stick with me," Jack said. "Right," Bunnymund said.
*Meanwhile with Emiko/Cupid*
Her voice hurt from all the screaming she had done as Jet had his way with her. God knows it hurt, all of it from body to soul, it hurt. "I think he tore me somewhere though I can't tell where it hurts too much,' she thought and closed her eyes hoping for relief but none came as nightmares plagued her slumber. Who was she kidding she was beginning to lose hope, all hope of leaving this place alive.
(A.N. Hey everyone sorry for the wait school has been kicking my ass. Anyway I at least got Chapter Four up for you guys so here ya go! with love CUpid)
