Chapter: 21
In the attic with Bunny and North…
After a few flights of stairs, and by few Bunny means at least nine flight of stairs, they finally made it to the top where the attic is. The door is nothing special, just old like the stairs are. The closer they got to the door, the more they can hear a muffled noise. North and Bunny exchanges glances before North knocks on the door.
The muffling faltered, trying to be still but failed when the noise continued. North opens the door and walks in, followed by Bunny. It's dark, slightly chilly and dusty. A single window is shown by the moon but they still cannot see who they're looking for. They can clearly hear the noise which is now identified as sobs.
"Jack? Iz that you…?" asked North somewhat a little reluctant. More sobs answered them further in the dark, bringing them forward hesitantly.
"Go away…" said a quiet voice which startled both North and Bunny. The voice sounded like it was right in front of them, beyond the moons light in fact. But as their eyes adjusts to the darkness, they can faintly make out a silhouette before them.
Just as Bunny was about to step forward, he caught something with his nose. A smell. It smells like rust, and it seems recent. So it couldn't actually be rust in the attic. And Bunny knew what that smell was, it was the smell of blood.
"Jack, mate. Why do ya smell like blood?" at his question, North looks at Bunny with surprise but then turns his head back towards the faintly seeing figure.
"Jack? Are you hurt? Wounded? Let me see." Said North as he made to take a step.
"Why would you care North? No one ever cared about me! Not even the man in the moon. So just leave me alone, I don't need your help!" shouted Jack which, once again surprised North and Bunny.
"Jack, ya need help, I can smell a lot of blood on ya. And it's not good for ya. Y'er gonna die if we don't help ya out!" said Bunny, getting frustrated with how stubborn Jack is.
There's a shuffling noise before the last Jack steps into the moonlight wearing a black hoody. But that's not what shocked them both. The boy's arms are covered in blood with cuts. Most of them old while the ones bleeding telling the two holiday spirits that this has happened before they found him.
"I don't need anyone's help, much less yours! I've spent 300 years on my own and no one came to help me! I'm always messing things up, being such a burden to everyone! If only I wasn't immortal then I could've died when I was one my own!" he shouted with tears streaming down his face.
"Jack, settle down! We care about you and we want to help you now, no? We are here for you now." Said North in a calm voice.
"If you really cared about me, then where were you during the last 300 years North? Did it even occur to you that I was out there? Alone? No, you didn't and neither did the other Guardians. Were where you Guardians when I needed you most?" demanded the black hooded Jack with a serious and hard stare.
A/N: Poor Jack! Wish the Gaurdians could've noticed him in his years of loneliness! What does North has to say about that? What will happen if North gave him an answer or not? And why did Jack do that to himself?
