Who hates me? Everyone? Well... Yea sorry, but I needed excitement/drama. Hope this will make up for it, kinda. R&R for the next chapter! :)
Tooth squealed and went backwards when rabbit ears appeared out of the floor of Tooth Palace under her feet, followed by the Pooka. He walked up to the fairy with a smirk, "How was your date Tooth? How was the big finale?" Tooth gasped, big finale? She started stuttering nervously, "Well, um, see the funny thing about that is. Wait! How do you know about the date?" She questioned the rabbit standing in front of her.
Bunny smiled, "Do you really think Jack could get the glowworms to spell out 'I love you' on command without my help?" The queen gasped, "He was going to have the spell out 'I love you'?" Bunny grinned before his eyes went wide and his face turned serious.
"What do you mean, 'he was going to'?" Tooth's mouth gaped, she dug the hole too deep to go back now. "Well…. I have had to leave early…" Her violet eyes trained on the floor.
Bunny tried to hope it wasn't as bad as he thought, "What did you two do before you left. Every. Detail." Growling slightly at the last part.
The queen rubbed her neck and waved the mini fairies away, "Well, Baby Tooth came in the I told him I had to leave, and I couldn't bare to look at his face so I left." Bunny's ears went flat against his skull, "You LEFT him there?!" He growled and walked closer to the fairy, his green eyes blazing with fear. "Yea." Tooth managed to choke out.
The pooka recoiled immediately, "Not good not good not good." He muttered as he tapped his foot and a rabbit hole appeared. Tooth looked at him in surprise, "Wait? What's not good?!" Bunny looked at her urgently, "I've been giving hope to depressed people since I've become a guardian. It breaks my heart but I help them fix theirs. You may have just broken Frostbite beyond repair." He said standing strong before jumping straight into the hole, leaving Tooth crying into her feathers.
Bunny hopped from the rabbit hole quickly and ran around the lack, "JACK! JAACCKKK!" he screamed into the trees, he would come here. The pooka felt wetness at his feet and looked down, blood. He followed the trail out from some brambles, he'll look at that later, Aster put his nose to the trail as her bounded to, the lake? The blood seemed to lead into the center of the lake on the thin covering of ice then, stopped.
Realization snapped in the pooka's mind as he ran on all four pads, they had become numb but he didn't even take notice as he plunged into the cold water. Noon sunlight shown as he opened his green eyes, franticly searching the water, come on Frostbite, give me something, he pleaded before a white blob of hair caught his eyes.
Yes! The pooka dove deeper into the water, grabbing the white hair with his paw. He pulled the spirit closer to him and grasped his waist tightly before swimming to the surface. Grey fur plastered onto the pooka as he came up close enough to shore to let the boy go. He laid Jack down on his back before going on his hands and knees coughing up water that managed to get into his lungs. The green eyes looked over the teen, that poor boy. His arms were covered in open cuts, they had just stopped by the looks of it, he looked to the boy's chest for any type of sign he was alive. The chest only stayed flat, "Oh please no." tears finally surfaced as a stabbing pain was felt in his chest. "This can't be happening." He pressed his sobbing wet ear to his chest, nothing at all.
North. NORTH! His eyes snapped open as realization came to him, I need North. He scooped up the shirtless spirit with one arm, holding him tightly to his wet fur. The rabbit hole opened and the pooka jumped in, running at full speed, as fast as he could on three legs as he clutched Jack closer to him, ears pressed against his head as the pooka was hit with a blast of freezing air. He looked up to the door of Santoff Clauston before ramming into them head on.
The yetis in side jumped as the frozen pooka ran in to the globe and stood on his two feet, "NORTH!" the yell rang through the workshop, startling the carver to drop his tools. He walked from his workshop, "Bunny! What is the meaning of this?" The pooka ran to the Russian as fast as he could without hurting the boy.
North looked down at the rabbit only to see the green eyes filled with tears and his frozen ears pressed against his head in sadness and submission? Aster's an alpha, he never submits unless he truly did wrong, North thought to himself in surprise as he looked at what the pooka held in his arms, "Jack?"
Aster nodded softly, another tear falling down his cheek. North's blue eyes widened as he took the spirit from the pooka and walked swiftly to the infirmary, Bunny following quickly. "How did this happen?" North questioned back to the pooka as they entered the now busy infirmary. "I-I don't know!" he stammered, " I went to Tooth Palace to see how Tooth liked Jack's big finale during their date, she said it never happened and then I went to jack cause I knew something bad happened, I found him in the lake like this and brought him here!"
The russian sighed as he looked over Jack's body, now in a hospital bed and attached to IVs and monitors. "Well, he's alive. Critical condition though." North held his head low as Bunny looked over the spirit's body, "He really thought he did something wrong." Muttered St. Nick as the pooka nodded.
Bunny only shook his head, "I wish I came sooner. I can feel people's hope, it's my job to save it in the children and I couldn't even do it for Jack. I'm a horrible guardian." North put a hand on the crying rabbit's shoulder. "Aster, you have been saving teens for hundreds of years. Now you may have just saved Jack's life, you should be proud."
The pooka nodded before sitting in a chair next to the white hospital bed, opposite of where North was standing. "We need to tell Tooth and Sandy", he yawned as the sun started to set. North chuckled, "You will be told tomorrow, I will find Sandy tonight. Sleep bunny." The russian said as he walked out of the infirmary. Bunny looked over at the winter spirit's body before curling up like a cat in the chair. He let out another yawn before falling into a light, dreamless sleep.
