Aster reached out and grabbed jacks wrist. Bunny then proceeded to pull jack closer to him wrapping his arms around the boys slim frame. Bunny looked around and saw a light to his left. Swimming towards it bunny reached the surface gasping for air. Once he was sure he had regained his breath he clutched jack to him and swam for short. Bunny felt a bump on jacks back but decided it was nothing. He reached the shore and with a little help from tooth and sandy he hoisted jack into the sleigh. Once jack was safe in the sleigh all the guardians (except north who had started driving the sleigh.) gathered around jack. "Stand back. Stand back." Bunny said kneeling at jacks side. Bunny then proceeded to give jack cpr. He gave jack cpr for several minutes before backing away and turning around. "Bunny?" "He...he's gone." Bunny said looking at tooth before wiping his eyes. Tooth went over tears falling down her cheeks and wrapped bunny into a hug. Sandy looked at jack then at bunny and started crying. He joined the hug burying his face in tooth's feathers. All of a sudden jack started coughing. The three of them looked at jack. His previously still chest started to arch up and his eyes fluttered open. They rushed to his side. He looked at them the panic clear in his eyes. "Jack calm down." Bunny said urgently. Jack looked away before clawing at his throat. Understanding,bunny started pounding on jacks chest. Before long jack started coughing up some water. It came out like a fountain. Slowly the water flow disappeared and jack was able to breathe again. The panic disappeared replaced with a worn out look. Jack started gasping for air. After a couple of minutes jack found his voice. "Wh..what happened? I feel l...like I was th...thrown into a giant washing m...machine and spit back out." "Honestly mate………… that's a pretty good description of what happened." Jack looked confused for a second. "Pitch broke through your shield and flung you into rocks a couple of times before throwing you into the ocean." Tooth said. Understanding crossed jacks face before he grimaced. Jack looked around. "Wh...where's my st..staff?" Suddenly the guardians wouldn't look at jack. Bunny seemed to get interested in his hand. Sandy started inspecting the fur on norths coat and tooth started to stare at the sleigh floor. "Guys," when they still wouldn't look at him jack repeated himself. "Where is my staff." The temp started dropping as jack started at them. "WHERE...IS...MY...STAFF." Jack asked his eyes glinting angrily. The guardians backed away from him revealing his broken staff. Jack shakily got to his feet much to the others protests and hobbled over towards his staff. Before he could reach it however he collapsed to the ground. He fell onto his back making the slow ache that was already there increase. He hissed and the others came over to him. "You okay mate?" "Yeah I think it's my ankle." Aster help jack into a sitting position ignoring jacks protests. "Fine if I can't get my staff can you give it to me?" "Mate... we tried...we couldn't fix it." "Yes YOU tried. This has happened before. I know how to fix it, now give it over." Sighing Aster grabbed the two pieces tightly. "Careful. I can feel it if you hold it too tightly." Apologizing Aster loosened his grip and brought it to jack. Jack grabbed them eagerly and slowly brought the two pieces together. He closed his eyes and slowly concentrated. The area around the broken staff seemed to glow slightly. Slowly a glowing circle surrounded jacks heart. Jack could feel his energy ebb away as he poured his power into the staff. The glow around the staff started knitting the staff back together before the glow disappeared and jack slumped to the ground. He opened his eyes and looked around him. "What?... stop staring." The guardians quickly closed their mouths and looked away. Jack closed his eyes once more before drifting into unconsciousness. Making sure he was comfortable the others sat around him in a circle before they too feel asleep. North being the only one awake smiled and snapped the reins. The reindeer picked up speed.
