Ok! So I recently started reading Guardians fan fictions again and it… stirred some ideas and brought back a spark, but first couple things to clear up: I know I've said it before but I am trying not to copy, if I am sorry, I'm putting my own twist on things putting my past into this. 2 I am ADHD, dyslexic and Autistic so while I love writing and reading it's a bit harder for me and I am working on it. 3 I am a girl and the stories that I write? They come from my daydreams that get me through the day I have something called maladaptive daydreaming basically it describes a condition where a person regularly experiences daydreams that are intense and highly distracting, so basically I'm always in a daydream like 24 hours a day it gets me through the day and since I am biologically a girl all my daydreams center around girls and if a show or a movie enters the daydream and I imagine myself in the role of the main character? If that character is male they become female. It's just how I do things so I'll say this: if you don't like it, leave. I love my stories and I love the fans out there who love my stories and are one of the main reasons I'm able to write again. Reading the good reviews makes me smile and keeps me going. This FanFic is my therapy and it doesn't mean it has to be good, but if it makes people happy and they love it? Epic bonus love you guys!
Now that's over time for some good news. I'm going to finish this. This may be the last chapter or there may be one more. But I already have a sequel planned (or I may just make this one of those REALLY long fanfics and not do a sequel we will see lol) and I'm excited about it, I did get the idea from some stories but a bunch of them and none of the stories have gone down this route so I'm excited for it. Oh also I haven't had a chance to read them but there are books about the guardians and their backstories including info about bunny I'm not sure if he did have a mate and kit or if that's something someone made up so I went with it lol. As stated before I own nothing but my ideas and past lol. ENJOY! Also, we are still on Jackie's POV but it might change later in this Chapter
Pitch ran to my pond and we chased after him. I could feel the heat in my body fading faster. Crap I thought, I had hoped it would last longer but Bunny did say he didn't know how long it would last. I didn't know how much more time I had before I was bleeding again but I hoped we could finish off Pitch before it faded completely. We managed to get in front of Pitch without him noticing (which wasn't hard as Pitch kept looking back in fear to see if we were chasing.) and Pitch slammed into North's big belly and fell down hard onto the ice.
"Leaving the party so soon?" North asked, his voice sounding casual but his eyes and stance said otherwise. Tooth flew in front of North as I lagged behind everyone, feeling weaker and feeling the pain slowly come back.
"You didn't even say goodbye," Tooth said, twirling a quarter between her fingers which she then tossed to pitch, who caught it with a dry laugh.
"A quarter?" he said looking down at it. Suddenly the Tooth flew forward and punched him hard. I watched as a tooth went flying from his mouth. It landed on the ice with a light thump. Pitch looked back at Tooth with disbelief and put his fingers in the new open space in his teeth, red blood dripping from his mouth.
" And that's for my fairies," Tooth said, shaking her hand while the fairies flew forward between her and Pitch. She then pushed past them and kicked him landing a kick to his face, he flew back again, this time blood pouring from his nose. " And THAT is for Jackie you son of a bitch." she growled out her tone no longer light-hearted but harsh and dripping with anger. I blink in shock at the animosity in her tone. She cares… I look at all the Guardians who have the same look of anger on their faces when she says that. Like they all wanted to kill him. They all do… my eyes filled with tears at the fact they cared.
Pitch grabbed his nose and stumbled up to a standing position "Fuck! You
Broke my nose!" He looks at them all then his eyes land on me. "You can't get rid of me! Not forever! There will always be fear! And I will always be there! You can't always win!"
"So what? As long as one child believes we will be here to fight fear!" North grins at him. Pitch just glares back, then he smiles.
"Really? Then what are they doing here?" he waves his arms at the nightmares that had formed. "I will always come back and I will have her, she is mine to be mine. I knew it from the first moment I felt her fear when she woke in that pond. Something about it seemed…. familiar, almost like the fear I felt when I wiped out the royal family of the pookas. You remember don't you Bunny? Their newborn kit was hopefully to be mated into your clan, wasn't she? Too bad we will never know" He grins at Bunny, who to his credit doesn't change his expression he just ignores Pitch and looks around like the rest of us. North Ignores Pitches words knowing he was just trying to get a reaction. And laughs. I feel my heart race at what he said but I push it aside when I hear North laugh.
"Haha! They can't be my nightmares, I'm not afraid." Pitches smile fades as the others' voices chime in stating the same thing. I take a deep breath looking at everyone then back at Pitch meeting his eyes.
"Looks like it's your fear they smell." I grin at him, he makes a scared sound and runs off yelling as the nightmares chase him and surround him in black sand tugging him down his hole under the old bed that was sucked back into it and the hole fades. All while screaming no! I relax knowing Pitch is gone for now and that I was safe. I look up at the moon smiling as I hear Tooth fly towards me laughing, she tackles me into a hug, her baby fairies swarming around us. I blink in shock, still not used to being touched, and try not to flinch from the pain.
"Careful sheila, she may be healed now but we don't know for how much longer,'' Bunny says. When they look at him questioning looks in their eyes he continues "I healed her the best I could but her being winter and I spring we have no idea how long it will last it was more of a… block on the injuries." Bunny explains.
"Ah!" They nod and Tooth lets go, still grinning Baby Tooth flies over chattering and led her back to the Guardians. North steps forward with a fatherly look on his face. I hold back a cough feeling the heat almost completely fade from my body. It's becoming hard to breathe again. I didn't say anything, I wasn't ready for this to end yet. No one seems to notice.
"Are you ready now? To make things official" he shrugs and grins. I open my mouth to say something when the bunny steps forward.
"No she's not ready yet," Everyone looks at him. And my eyes widened. Why was he saying that?
"Bunny, you can still hate her, can you?" Tooth asks flustered. Bunny looks at her shocked.
"No! I don't hate the girl, she's just not ready right now" he eyes me up and down as the last of the heat fades and I lean on my staff trying to stay upright. "My magic has worn off! You guys can't see the fresh blood seeping through her bandages? Or the fact she can't stay standing? I'd say she's not even five minutes from collapsing." I go to open my mouth to deny it when the world starts spinning and it all fades to black, before I blackout I hear everyone scream my name, and then it goes dark.
~~~Bunny's POV~~~
I kept my eye on the kit, through the rest of the fight. I didn't know how long my magic would keep her on her feet. She looked like hell, Pitch and the fight really did a number on her. I did not doubt that the moment my magic was gone from her body she would collapse. And I was right.
Even till the last minute Pitch was trying to get under our skin, taunting us about Jackie, and me about my people. It took everything I had not to growl or change my expression when he mentioned the little kit. The royal family of the pookas was a big deal. Each clan had its leader but the royal family ruled over us all. We pookas came in all sizes and shapes and colors and animals but we tended to stick with our own clan. Bunny with bunny, a dog with a dog that kind of thing, But the royal family could be with anyone because they didn't have one kind they were them all. The newborn kit was born a rabbit, while she could marry anyone from any clan and could produce viable offspring, she was most likely destined for the bunny clan. Then Pitch attacked, the little kit wasn't even a week old when Pitch murdered her and the whole royal family. He set the palace on fire to ensure no one escaped. It wasn't long after that the rest of the planet fell. There were rumors that the kit has survived, which if she had it could save the race since she could produce any type of offspring with any pooka. But as Pitch wiped out the survivors one by one till I was the only one left that hope died.
Why was Pitch comparing Jackie to the kit? Her name hadn't even been announced yet. It was about to be when Pitch attacked the palace, then a time of great happiness became a time of great sorrow.
Jackie is a human well she was a human, and the kit well she was a baby pooka. I shoved it out of my head, he's just trying to get under my skin. I glance over to Jackie who looks confused, I could see her slowly getting worse, bruises starting to appear on her skin again not too noticeable but there if you look for it.
Eventually, the nightmares chased off pitch dragging him back into the ground where he belongs. Tooth tackled Jackie in a hug and I had to warn her to be careful. And the north wanted to make her a Guardian right then and there, could he not see the injuries returning? How was no one noticing this! After explaining this the moment I finished I could tell the magic had faded completely and she opened her mouth to say something as her eyes rolled into the back of her head and she blacked out. I shot forward and caught her right before she hit the ice.
"Whoa there nelly!" I yell out as I caught her, I can hear everyone freaking out. I ignore them all. " We need to get her back to the pole. Now." North's sled appears out of the sky and we rush her in it. I look at them mad "you guys were so caught up in the feeling of happiness of winning you didn't see the bruises come back to her skin? The blood soaking her bandages?! She's just a kid and she's been through bloody hell, we need to watch her closer!" I snap out. Tooth and Sandy look away while North looks me dead in the eyes.
"Bunny calm down, I understand you are worried for the child but don't take it out on us, we should have noticed yes but calm down, the yetis will help us yes?" I nod looking down at Jackie. The pour kit was struggling to breathe.
We soon arrive at the north pole and the yetis rush out grabbing Jackie from me and rushing off. I try not to be bothered by this but it does freak me out.
"OI!" I shout when she's grabbed from me, I go to rush forward but North stops me.
"Calm down Bunny, they will take care of her, best let them do it." he then looks at me. "Want to talk about why you are so overprotective of Jackie?" I look at him shocked.
"What do you mean North?"
"When Manny chose Jackie to be Guardian you were against it. Calling her irresponsible, and selfish saying she wasn't a Guardian, what changed Bunny?" I look at him.
"I didn't know that she was just a kit North, her hiding behind that hoodie, staying in the shadows, not letting anyone get close. I pinned her against a tree screaming at her North, and she just stood there and took it, he raped her, her powers went out of control caused a blizzard and I just screamed at her." North looked at me, his gaze is sympathetic.
"Bunny no one knew, you couldn't have known. She never said anything to any of us. But you are right she does look like just a kid. But she isn't and you know this she's at least 300 years old. And not a kit. As you put it. Why a kit?" I shrug at North, not wanting to get into it.
"Kit, kid same thing. You know that's what the pookas called their young." North raises his eyebrows.
"And it has nothing to do with Pitch's taunting about the um…. Kit he killed?" I stiffen and my eyes narrow.
"You know I don't speak of that North of what he did to my people. Jackie has nothing to do with them, he was just trying to get a rise out of me like he always does. You know how much he hates that I survived, so he taunts me with my lost people that He hunted down and slaughtered one by one! No one was spared Elders, teens adults parents, or kits! He killed my family, mate, and kit." North looks shocked.
"Wait I thought you said you never met your soulmate Bunny" I nodded
"I never did but it's not uncommon for my people to have multiple mates we live for so long that it may be hundreds of years before our soulmates are born. Admittedly once a soulmate is found they tend to become the only mate eventually. But that's complicated. " Tooth who has been standing by with Sandy not saying anything decides to speak up at this time.
"Bunny what's the difference between the royal family and your… clan?" I turn to tooth.
"How many times must i say i do not want to speak of this? Its in the past! They are dead! LET THEM REST!" i snap and hop off. Not wanting to talk anymore.
~Jackie POV~
My dreams were strange and confusing. Imagines of bunnies and dogs and cats dance in my dreams along with children. A song dances in my dreams one that feels so right yet so wrong like i must hide it. The little boy from the shore that looks so much like Jamie. A woman who make my heart cletch in sadness.
A Heavily pregnant brown haired woman sat sobbing in the kitchen. A little brown haired girl about 8 or 9 years old walks toward the woman holding an old fashioned teddy bear to her chest.
"Ma? Are you ok?" the little girl walked to her mother who quickly sits up and wipes her eyes.
"Jackie baby what are you doing up? Its late. You should be sleeping." The little girl… me? Shook her head.
"Why are you crying ma? Is it because dad is gone? Is that why we had to leave home and move here?" The woman sniffs. And tugs Jackie toward her being careful of her big belly.
"I always forget how smart you are baby, im just worried about money since your dad is gone." she rubs her belly " we really need this baby to be healthy boy so when hes older he can help us."
"But what if the baby is a girl? Or sick like Ediths brother was?" the little girl asked thinking about her old friend in the town they had just left. Her mom shook her head.
"We wont think of that love we will pray to the lord that he will be healthy." Jackie looked at her mother.
"What if i help? Im 9 now, im a big girl i can help." her mom smiled but shook her head.
"You my love are a girl its your job to cook and clean and keep up the house, not make money or hunt, thats a boys job."
"But mom we just moved here no one could know im a girl, we could cut my hair and make people think im a boy then i could help you out until my brother is old enough to help." Mom smiles and hugs her close as the dream shifts.
Jackie watches the doctor speak to her mother, her hair is now shorter and shes dressed as a boy. Jackie is about 13 at this point.
"Your youngest son, is sickly the chances are he will have issues growing up, you must keep him close to home." Jackies mother sniffs but nods. And the dream shifts again.
"Its up to you jackie, Emmett cant help us but we need to provide for this family can you help?" Jackies mother is standing by a small bed with Jackie and looking down at the little boy in the bed.
"Of course mother. Ive been doing it for years now, i wont stop now." Jackies hair is now longer but pinned back shes about 15 now. The dream shifts again. Flashes of signs of Jackie being silly and teasing her brother flash, her hunting taking care of the family binding her breasts so no one knows shes a girl. Then a longer scene plays in my mind.
This time Jackie is 16 shes standing barefoot on a frozen lake. Her brother Emmett who is now 10, is in front of her the lake cracking under his feet. He looks so scared, Jackie is terrified she has to save him she calms him down trying to get him to laugh. Noticing a long stick with a hook she uses it to hook the little boy and fling him across the ice but in doing so she gets flung herself onto the creaking ice and it breaks and Jackie follows there.
"JACKIE!"
~OOOOOH THAT CLIFFHANGER! I'm having fun with this and gearing up for the next storyline! hope you guys all enjoy it also it will probably be explained later but if you want a like lay out of the pooka species let me know!
