A Frozen Rose
Twenty-Five: Thoughts 3(Bunny and Jack)
Bunny was happy when they were in the Warren he was proud. This was their last chance to get out at Pitch and it would make Sandy so proud. He then heard something; the eggs seemed to be in distress.
"Something's up." He said. All the guardians and Jack got ready to attack, Bunny was thinking of Nightmares coming to mess with his Warren. They all ran and saw a little girl standing there.
"Sophie." Jack said. She remembered the little from Jaime's house his little sister.
"What is she doing here?" Bunny asked how a child could get to his Warren. North touched his coat.
"Snow-globe." North said.
"Crickey somebody do something." Bunny said.
"Hey don't look at me I'm invisible remember." Jack said, she didn't enjoy the shock looks and wondered what they were going to do.
"Don't worry about it Bunny, I bet she's a fairy fan." Tooth said. "It's okay little one."
"Pretty." Sophie said.
"Oh you know what I have something for you." Tooth said. She showed the teeth and Jack was shocked, she was not going to go there. "Look at all the pretty teeth with blood and gum on them."
"Ahh…" Sophie screamed. Jack decided it was time to go in.
"Blood and gum, when was the last time you hung out with kids?" Jack asked. She was really surprised.
"We are busy bringing joy to children we don't have time for children." North said. Jack could see Bunny trying to hide the eggs. Well that wasn't going to do. "If one little kid can ruin Easter than we're in more trouble than we thoughts." She said and had a snowflake hit Bunny's nose.
Bunny felt incredibly happy and he got Sophie and they went to paint eggs.
#
"Now all we have to do is get all his little buddies through the tunnels and we will have ourselves Easter." Bunny said as the eggs went to the places they were supposed to go. He felt when Jack went next to him. He looked up to see the big large eyes.
"Not bad." Jack told him.
"Not bad yourself." Bunny said.
"Hey look I'm sorry about the Kangaroo thing." She told him and Bunny knew that he meant it.
"It's the accent isn't it?" Bunny asked. "Ah poor little ankl' bitter look at her all tucker out."
"I love her." Tooth said. "I think it's time we take her home."
"How about I take her home?" Jack asked and Bunny wanted to say something. Tooth beat him to it.
"Jack no, Pitch is out there." she said.
"He is no match for this." Jack said showing her staff.
"Which is why we need you here?" Bunny said. Maybe some other time he wouldn't have said that but it was the truth they needed Jack with them.
"Trust me I'll be quick as a Bunny." Jack said.
#
Jack flew with Sophie and went to put her to bed. She was surprised the little kid held on so tightly to her. She tried to put her down a few times. When she finally did she smiled but when Sophie fell, she was going to pick her up when…
"Sophie is that you?" Jack just threw the blanket and a toy.
Jack looked at Baby Tooth from the window.
"We should get back."
'Jack.' Jack moved her head.
"That voice, I know that voice." She said. She didn't know why but she knew that voice. She flew toward it.
'Jack.' Jack landed in part of the forest where a bed resides. Baby Tooth pulled her.
"Don't worry there's still time." She said, because she needed to know, why she knew that voice. She got near the bed and broke some of the planks before going in. she was moving in the hole and baby tooth kept going at her.
"Baby Tooth, baby tooth I have to know what that is." She said. When they went in and Jack saw the cages she was shocked. She saw the other bay teeth. She flew to one.
"Shh…keep it down; I'll get you out of here as soon as…"
'Jack.' Jack looked down "I can." She flew down and began to look through the containers.
"Looking for something." She turned around and threw a shot of ice from her staff. She tried to find Pitch but the place was so convoluted. "Don't be afraid Jack."
"Afraid." She said. "I'm not afraid of you." She told him as Pitch's back was turned.
"Maybe not, but you are afraid of something." Pitch said.
"You think so huh."
"I know so…" Pitch told her. "It's the thing I always know, people's greatest fear." Jack looked at Pitch. "Yours is that no one will ever believe in you." Jack backed away from him and looked as the shadows got near her. She was thrown down as Pitch laughed. When she fell she looked for her staff and grabbed it.
"First of all your afraid you'll never know why, why you." She stayed on a wall. "Why were you chosen to be like this?" Pitch appeared in-front of her. "Well fear not for the answer to that is right here." He showed her the box of memories. "Do you want them Jack your memories." She reached for them but what would be the cost. Did she really want them back it would answer so many questions. Pitch disappear with them again.
"Everything you wanted to know." Pitch said as Jack saw the shadows. "In this little box." She felt so lost.
"Why did you end up like this unseen, unable to reach out to anyone, you want to grab them and fly off, but you're afraid what the other Guardians will think." Jack backed away she did want to know what the Guardians will think but it wasn't what he thought about, it was her biggest secret. "We'll let me ease your mind about that. They will never accept you"
"Stop it, stop it!" she screamed.
"After all you're not one of them." She said raising her staff.
"Of course I do, your Jack Frost you make a mess everywhere you go, while you're doing it right." He told her throwing her memories; she looked at it than at him. "What did you do?"
"Not the point Jack, what did you do." Pitch went back to the shadows and Jack tried to get him.
"Baby Tooth." She remembering the little fairy was in the lair.
"Happy Easter Jack." Jack looked at the eggs.
"No." she said.
#
Bunny looked at the kids.
"Maybe he just really hid them really well this year." The little girl said.
"I've checked there is nothing."
"Oi kids, yes there is! There is! I mean, these aren't my best looking googies, but they'll do in a pinch." He said showing them the egg.
"I can't believe it."
"I know." He said showing the little girl the egg. He did not expect the next words.
"There's no such thing as the Easter Bunny." The girl said.
"What? No." Bunny said, he couldn't believe he just heard that. "Wrong! Not true!" he moved toward one of the kids.
"I'm right in-front of you, mate."
"Why wouldn't he come?" he the kid said that he felt the little boy passed through him and it was as if his insides had been turned.
"They don't see me." he realized. "They don't see me." he said bending down. So many years and they couldn't see him, he couldn't feel hope.
"Jack, where were you?" North asked. Jack looked at Bunny before turning to face North. He saw North with his swords looking at him. "The Nightmares attacked the tunnels, they smashed every egg, crushed every basket. Nothing made it to the surface" Jack was shocked she had seen the damage but she didn't think it would be that bad.
"Jack." Tooth said, she looked down. "Huh, where did you get that?"
"I was…it's…"
"Where's Baby Tooth?" Jack tried to explain but she didn't know how. "Jack, what have you done?" Tooth asked.
"That is why you weren't here?" North asked Jack could feel the disappointment rolling of North in waves. "You were with Pitch?"
"No, listen, listen." She said. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen." She said because she didn't want this, this was terrible.
"He has to go." Bunny said. After all they went through Jack repaid them like this.
"What?" Jack said.
"We should never have trusted you!" Bunny yelled and he looked ready to hit her. Bunny really wanted to but what would be the point, it wouldn't help them "Easter is new beginnings, new life. Easter is about hope and now it's gone."
When Bunny turned Jack felt the pain. she hoped that they would listen, she turned to North and Tooth but they looked at her, well they didn't really looked at her they turned around. That was the biggest hurt she had ever received in her life. Not when the Groundhog called her names, when some of the spirits tried to beat her up. This was it. Pitch was right she always made a mess everywhere she went, she never had their trust, and she was not one of them. She threw the little baby doll on the ground and left.
#
She ended in Antarctica was it a wonder she always ended there. She tried to throw the box away but she couldn't. She looked at the box and the picture on it.
"I thought this might happen." She heard the voice. "They never really believed in you. I was just trying to show you that, but I understand." he said and that made her loose it. Okay he might be a little right, but he didn't understand anything at all. She threw the ice shot.
"You don't understand anything." She screamed. She threw ice shots.
"No? I don't know what it's like to be cast out?" She threw the biggest ice at him. "To not be believed in?"
"To long for a family." he told her and he looked so sad that she lowered her staff a bit. "All those years in the shadows I thought, no one else knows what this feels like. But now I see I was wrong." Jack was surprised by his words. "We don't have to be alone, Jack. I believe in you. And I know children will too."
"In me?" she asked.
"Yes!" Pitch said excited. "Look at what we can do. What goes together than cold and dark?" Jack looked at the structure and it was terrifying it was like the thing she had seen in Juteheim when she went to visit Loki and Thor. They were called monsters for a reason. She didn't want to harm anyone, she never had. That's why she wasn't like the other spirits that she met that were bullies, she never fought unless there was a cause. And the spirits that she made friends with only fought with her for fun.
"We can make them believe." Pitch said. "We'll give them a world where everything, everything is…"
"Pitch Black." She said.
"And Jack Frost, too." Pitch said. "They'll believe in both of us." Jack looked at him, she knew his game.
"No they'll fear both of us and that's not what I want." She said. "Now for the last time leave me alone." She preferred being alone than having bad company. She turned, she maybe go somewhere else try to make things right maybe.
"Very well. You want to be left alone, Done, but first…" Jack listened to his voice and she turned to see Pitch squishing Baby Tooth in his hand.
"Baby Tooth!" she screamed tried to get near, she pointed the staff at him.
"The staff, Jack!" She looked at her staff. "You have a bad habit of interfering. Now, hand it over, and I'll let her go."
Jack pointed his staff once more, but was the life of Baby Tooth not worth the price. Sure the staff was his most price possession but Baby Tooth had been kind to her. She couldn't make more mistakes. She handed over her staff.
"All right." She said. "Now let her go."
"No." Pitch answered and Jack was surprised. "You said you wanted to be alone, so be alone." Jack was shocked when Baby Tooth nicked Pitch with her beak. Pitch threw her.
"No!" she turned back to Pitch to see him break his staff and the pain, the pain was unbearable it was as if someone had just ripped at her heart. Pitch hit her and she fell to the bottom of the gorge.
She woke up and the first thing she noticed was Baby Tooth.
"Baby Tooth." She said crawling. "You're alright." She said covering the little fairy. When she sneezed Jack felt terrible. "Sorry. All I can do is keep you cold." She said and sat up before closing her eyes. "Pitch was right. I make a mess of everything."
Baby Tooth around her and got into her hoodie. 'Hey." She said and sat back down on the snow if she couldn't keep the fairy cold maybe her hoodie could.
'Jack?' She opened her eyes and jumped at seeing the gold light. Baby Tooth touched it before Jack looked at it and it showed her, her memories.
Afterward she was shocked. She had a family, a sister, she had a life. She knew, how she died, how she was changed.
"Did you see…Did you see that?" she asked Baby Tooth. "It was me." she said scopping up Baby Tooth in her hands. "I had a family! I had a sister! I saved her!" she said and it clicked on her immediately. "That's why you chose me." she said looking toward the moon. "I'm a Guardian." She said getting up. That was she was chosen, because she had saved her little sister a child out of danger.
She looked around because she knew what she had to do; she had to fix this mess. She really did.
"We have to get out of here." She looked at her staff and ran toward it, she tried to put it back together. "Okay." She said and saw how it broke again. She put it back together and willed it to get together. When she saw the light one the staff she was marveled. They got out of the cave and she felt so alive in the air.
"Come on, Baby Tooth, I owe you one!" she said.
#
She was back at Pitch's Lair and went to the cages to get the other Baby teeth out.
"Come on let's go." She said. The baby teeth didn't move at all. "What's wrong?" she asked the chirping was getting a bit louder and she understood. "None of you can fly?" Baby Tooth chirped at her and she turned around to see the globe.
"The lights!" she said. "They're all going out." She said shocked. She saw all of them go, except one she got on top of the globe and knew immediately who the child was.
"Jaime!"
#
Jack was in Jaime's window and she felt bad seeing the kid looked at the stuff rabbit.
"If it wasn't a dream and if you are real, then you've got to prove like right now." She heard Jaime said. Jack crouched and tried to hear more. "I've believed in you for a long time, okay? Like my whole life in fact. So you kind of owe me now. You don't have to do much, just a little sign so I know." Jack could hear it the desperation in his voice. "Anything, anything at all."
"I knew it." he said and threw the Bunny down. But Jack couldn't let it go so easily, this was the last light they were talking about. She couldn't lose hope; she had to do something, but what? Then she had an idea, it was her last chance. She frosted his windows and painted, a little Ester egg.
"He's real!" he heard Jaime said and it was the best feeling she had ever felt but that was not all. She brought the little rabbit to life. She couldn't believe she had done it and the kid was so happy.
"Snow?" Jack was too worried to hear that.
"Jack Frost." Jack turned to look at the kid.
"Did he just say..." her name
"Jack Frost?" Jack was surprised.
"He said it again. He said…" when the kid turned Jack just looked at him in surprise. "You said…"
"Jack Frost." She couldn't believe.
"That's right!" she said. "But that's me! Jack Frost That's my name!" she said, she was freaking out, Jaime said his name. "You said my name." she felt her voice clogged and she felt like it was going to turn girly in a second. When he saw Jaime shocked, something came to mind.
"Wait. Can you hear me?" she asked. When Jaime nodded she couldn't believe it but got close to his face. "Can you….Can you see me?" she asked. She was excited and felt tears in her eyes. "He sees me! He sees me!" after all these years someone who wasn't a spirit could see her, could hear her.
"You just made it snow!"
'I know." Jack said she was still in shock.
"In my room."
"I know." She said.
"You're real?"
"Yeah!" She said. "Who do you think brings you all the blizzards and the snow days? And you remember when you went flying on that sled the other day? " She asked him, because she could finally tell someone.
"That was you?"
"That was me!" she told him.
"Cool"
"Right?"
"But what about the Easter Bunny? And the Tooth Fairy?"
"Real, real, real! Everyone one of us is real." She told him.
#
"Jack." Tooth said and fell down. Jack felt terrible and helped her up.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
"What are you doing here?" North asked her.
"Same as you." She said pointing toward the house.
They got reacquainted and Jack remembered something.
"Wait. But where's Bunny?" she asked.
"Losing Easter took its toll on all of us. Bunny most of all." North said and Jack was thinking the worst. When she saw the cute little bunny, she couldn't believe it.
"Oh no." she said.
"That's the Easter Bunny?" Bunny looked at the little kid and some of his anger came out.
"Now somebody sees me where were you about an hour ago mate." Bunny asked.
"What happened to him, he used to be huge and cool. And now he's…cute." Jaime scratched him. And Bunny felt so happy when his senses came back he was a warrior not a common Bunny.
"Did you tell him to say that? That's it!" he said running up to Jack and kicking softly with his legs. "Me and you, come on."
"No, actually he told me you were real." Jaime told him and Bunny was shock and felt something nice go through him. He looked at Jack.
"He made you believe in me?" he asked, he couldn't think of anything to say. Then he sensed the storm coming.
#
"He's stronger. I can't beat him." Jack said and she was surprised her words.
"All this fuss over one little boy, and still he refuses to stop believing. Very well, there other ways to snuff out a light." Jack saw the way Pitch began to break the lights and she understood very well what he meant.
"You look awful." Pitch said showing himself to them.
"Jack I'm scared." Jaime told her. Jack looked at him and remembered the words she had said to her little sister before she fell through the ice.
"We're gonna have a little fun instead." She said. "That's my center." She said, she understood.
"So what do you think Jaime?" Jack had enough of this she got a snowball on her hand and flicked it. "Do you believe in the Boogey…." She hit right in his face. She looked at Jaime.
"Now let's go get your friends."
#
Jack saw all the sand and she was shocked at all that Pitch had. He couldn't have gotten this stronger.
"You think a few children can help you against this?" he asked them. She didn't know but it was worth a try.
"There just bad dreams Jaime." She told him. Because that's all that Pitch was a bad dream.
#
"I will." Jack was shocked when Jaime came out to stand in-front of them. When the sand turned to golden sand Jack couldn't help but smile.
"Oh yeah come on, come on." Bunny said, he saw the others get back to normal. He needed to get back to normal. "Oh crickey." He said and ran under the car, he changed under there. When the Nightmare pulled him out Bunny was happy. "G'day mate." He flipped his boomerangs. He called for his sentinel eggs and they went to battle.
Jack went after Pitch, she had to end this. They were fighting as a team. They were taking him down a bit.
"It's over Pitch. There's no place to hide." Pitch looked at her and hid in the shadows.
"Jack lookout" Bunny screamed in panic and threw the boomerang. When Jack saw the scythe coming to her, she saw the gold rope that wrapped around his wrist and she knew that sand anywhere.
"Mate you are a sight for sore eyes." Bunny said, he was really happy to having his friend back.
#
"You dare have fun in my presence? I am the Boogeyman and you will fear me." Jack and Bunny with the rest of the Guardians looked at Pitch as Jaime walked through him. "No. No!" Jack felt bad for him, but it did tell everyone that he had no power at all. Pitch ran away and they followed.
Jack was surprised that they ended in her pond.
"Leaving the party so soon?' North asked.
"You didn't even say goodbye." Tooth said. When she punched Pitch Jack was surprised.
"You can't get rid of me! Not forever. There will always be fear."
"So what? As long as one child believes, we will be here to fight fear." North said and Jack knew that he was right, they would fight for the children. They always would.
"Really? Then what are you doing here?" Pitch said. Jack looked around and saw all the nightmares looking at them. But she had a feeling it wasn't them.
"They can't be my Nightmares, I'm not afraid." North said. Jack understood immediately from the words that Karma spoke all those years ago.
"Looks like it's your fear they smell." Jack said. When the Nightmares took control of Pitch and under the bed, Jack couldn't believe it. She had never seen something like that before letting something control you. Pitch wanted to get from under the bed so bad that he just landed under there again and no one knew from how long. She had to feel bad for him, because she wished that on no one.
#
"Do you Jack Frost vow to protect children, to guard them with your life, their hoes, their wishes and their dreams, for they are all that we have and that we are, and all that we will ever be?" she turned around and saw Jaime as he shook his head yes. Was she really going to turn this down, sure it was going to be a lot of work but she could do it.
"I will." Jack answered.
"Then congratulations, Jack Frost, for you are now and forevermore a Guardian." They party that erupted had Jack smiling, she even chuckled at the fairies what would they say when they find out she was a girl. When they were leaving on the sleigh.
"Jack!" she turned around and Jaime hugged her. She wasn't passed through, she was hugged for reals. It was the most incredible feeling ever.
