Chapter 4

THIRD PERSON

"Well… you see…" Jamie ran a nervous hand through his shaggy brown hair; he refused to meet glances with the 2 gawking Guardians in front of him, along with a very excited Sophie who was jumping up and down repeating 'Yellow Bunny' over and over again.

"Awhile ago… we had… a discovery." Jamie said the sentence in a very questionable manner. He secretly sent a glare towards Sophie. The little girl cocked her head to the side and looked up at her big brother, clueless.

"What kind of discovery…?" Bunny crouched down and had a soft yet firm grip on the boy's shoulders; his furrowed brows looked at the boy in determination and confusion. Jamie glanced at Jack to see a tint of help but the white haired spirit had the same confusion in his eyes.

"So… while Sophie and I were hunting some eggs, Sophie asked for water. You know… clear, crisp, aqua purificada? The thing can keep you from dehydration you know-"Jamie stuttered, trying to clear the fact that he was stalling

"Mate, it's clear that you're stalling." Bunny interrupted

"Oh? U-Um yeah. So we went home for just a bit and- Hey, nice weather we're having, yes? It's so sunny and there's not one cloud in the sky-"Jamie pointed at the sky

"Jamie, just tell me. WHAT DID YOU SEE?" Bunny was now getting impatient

The young boy sighed. Oh well, he had to tell him. He knew it. If only Sophie just shut her tiny little mouth.

"We saw a-"

"SOPHIE! JAMIE! Come get your things we're leaving!" A voice called, not far from the park

"Oh look, it's our mom. Come on Sophie we're going home." Jamie silently thanked his mother for good timing. He didn't have to rat out everything after all. But he knew that Bunny was going to ask him the question again, for sure. It's very obvious that Jamie had known something about this 'Yellow Bunny' and they were sure of it. "Thanks Bunny for the VERY WONDERFUL egg hunt. And we'll see you guys soon!"

"But-"Bunny called out

"Goodbye!" Jamie and Sophie said. Jamie towed Sophie away. The 2 Guardians limply waved back at them.

Once the 2 Guardians were alone, Jack turned to Bunny. "That 'Yellow Bunny' thing? What was that?" He asked, watching Bunny carefully

"I dunno, the kids might be makin' the things up." Bunny said, straightening himself up

"Making it up?" Jack scoffed. "Bunny, Sophie kept on saying something about this bunny. And there's not one thing in the world that makes her more excited than bunnies. And can you explain why Jamie was acting all weird and strange? Like he can't tell you about anything?"

The spirit had a point. Bunny knew.

"I also noticed, you seem so… determined to know what Jamie was talking about." Jack sat on his staff, cross legged. "Why so?"

Bunny sighed and looked at his feet. "I don't know… it-it's just that, maybe they're talkin' 'bout another Pooka."

"Pooka?" Jack raised an eyebrow. "What's that?"

"My race. My species. My… kind." Bunny kind of chocked on the last words. It's been a long time since he said those words; he knew he had no use of saying these sentences.

"Oh, ok." Jack said. "Where are the others?"

"Others?" Bunny looked up at him.

"Y'know, other 'Pooka's'." Jack said

"Oh." Bunny said. "They're gone."

"What?" Jack asked, not getting anything at all

"My race has been… wiped out." Bunny felt his heart twist

"Oh. Bunny… I'm so sorry I asked." Jack gave him a look of sympathy

"Nah, it's alright." Bunny said, looking sad. Jack thought it must've been terrible, to know that you're the last of your kind. How, when, and why did this happen? Jack wondered.

After a moment, Jack asked, yet another question. "What happened?"

Bunny sighed. He didn't like it when he had to share the disastrous memory of his past 2 times a day to two different people.

"There was a massacre… Back then, Fearlings hunted the nights. One day, they reached my tribe. And then there was screaming and fire, fire everywhere. The next thing I knew is that I woke up on the ground, the Moon told me I was the last of my kind." Bunny said, his voice clearly showed distraught

"Oh…" Jack looked down at his lap, trying to not make anything more awkward.

Both of them fell into a silence, with nothing to hear but the tune of the birds, whistling through the wind.

"What will you do?" Jack suddenly piped up. Bunny looked at him, confused. "Y'know, when you find someone of your kind. You'll never know, someone might be out there."

"I don't know yet." Bunny says

Suddenly, the male Pooka slowly stood upright. A look of determination was clearly showing in his eyes, his face was twisted in a serious look.

"But when I'm sure, I'll find them." Bunny says

"I'll do everything to find someone like me."

XxXxXxXxXxX

She stood there, beneath the bushes. Her jade green eyes locked upon the 2 figures that stood near the spot where she was hiding. She shifted her hind legs to go into a more comfortable crouching position; her palms met the ground, steadying her body. Her massive ears twitched and flinched, picking up the faint chatter of the two Guardians.

How amusing. She'd seen and heard all. Sure, she'd taken a short nap. She couldn't keep her eyes closed for more than 3 minutes, despite her exhaustion. So she decided to see Sophie and Jamie once more and probably give them another fairytale book or something.

She heard Sophie chatter things about her. About the 'Yellow Bunny', this was her. She smiled when Sophie called her pretty. It's been a long time since anybody called her that. Sure, her fellow Pooka's in her tribe always called her pretty. But she didn't take things too seriously. The low self esteem helped her with that.

She could smell the determination in her fellow Pooka. The way he talked to Jamie, it showed that he really wanted to know who the hell the kids' are talking about

She had to stifle a giggle. Jamie seemed nervous. It's very obvious that he didn't want to tell them anything about her. She thought it was sweet for the kid to keep his promise. She knew he had nothing to do but rat out to the Guardians about her, but thanks to his mother, he didn't have to. Her identity was safe.

She heard Bunny's tale, on how everything was in his eyes. Her heart practically stopped beating for a moment. They both had the same thoughts. They had the same reaction. The same moment. The same race.

"What will you do?" Frost boy suddenly said. They had been silent for a while, and she turned to retreat back to her burrow when the unusual question was asked. "Y'know, when you find someone of your kind. You'll never know, someone might be out there."

That's the question, will he find… me? She thought, her eyes narrowing.

"I don't know yet." Bunny said. His Australian accent made her heart rate go by faster and shivers ran down her spine.

Just then, Bunny stood upright. His firm and toned body was reflected by the sunlight, giving him a sort of majestic look. Her heart rate was about to go faster.

"But when I'm sure, I'll find them."

She scoffed and rolled her eyes. Yeah, right.

"I'll do everything to find someone like me."

Her eyes softened. She really wanted to just jump out and just let her introduce herself. But no. She was just… antisocial. The memory of her race dying just kept on reliving again. The day when she knew about Bunnymund brought her nightmares. Nightmares of fire, screaming, Fearlings. But it brought… something else, too. Hope. Light. Relief. She wasn't alone.

But she will be.

Or she won't.

With a smirk on her consented face, she whispered the words.

"Oh Bunnymund. You won't find me… yet."

And with that, she raced off. Leaving a small, white, flower in her wake.

So sorry if this chapter was boring.
