24 reviews- thanks to all! I don't own rotg...sigh...enjoy!
Jack flew to the north pole- he had forgotten all about the monthly guardian meeting and now he was running late.
"Come on, come on- I can't be late!" he muttered and sped up. At last! He could see the workshop! Almost there! He went through the open window and landed on the couch. North turned to him.
"There he is! Didn't I tell you, Bunny!" he said and patted Jack on the back.
"Ya late, frostbite." Bunny said dangerously. Jack turned to him.
"I'm sorry, I didn-" he got cut off by Tooth.
"Hi, sweet tooth! It's okay- you're here now- lets get on with the meeting!" Tooth said and Sandy nodded his head in agreement. Jack sat himself down on the couch furthest away from the fire.
"So, Christmas is going well apart from the elves which are on strike..." Jack fazed out of the conversation. He couldn't seem to concentrate. He had far bigger things on his mind. He studied the four in front of him. What was it like to be believed in? What was it like to do a thing that everybody liked- Tooth left coins under pillows, North gave presents, Sandy gave dreams and Bunny hid eggs- he just made people cold and die. They definitely didn't understand his pain. He could feel the cuts throb on his wrists. Did they ever get depressed?
"Jack- any suggestions?" Jack took a moment to register the question.
"What- err yeah- I mean no!" he said quickly. Bunny glared at Jack.
"Ya weren't listening, were ya frostbite." Bunny said angrily, "Ya turn up late an' now ya don't listen" Bunny stepped closer to Jack. " Ya useless, absolutely useless." Jack felt tears come up in his eyes. The others- they thought this too! Well' they weren't stopping it so they must do. Jack turned and flew out the window- running off was the only thing he was good at.
Jack landed in a tree outside lake Burgess. Only when he was sure he was hidden he let his tears flow. He was useless, wasn't he? He took the razor out his pocket. He was useless. He put the razor against his pale skin, under the cuts that were already there. He took a deep breath and drew the razor across his wrist. He cried like he had never before: he let 300 years of sadness out in big sobs which shook his shoulders with each breath. He looked at his other wrist and viciously sliced it, crying. The blood cascaded down his arms and hands and dripped on the snow, staining it red. Jack liked the colour so he thrust his hands deep onto the snow and watched it change colour. He watched it turn till it was just red, no white. Then, dizzy, he flew off, away from the pond. Away from the pain.
The guardians all turned their heads to Bunny after Jack had flew out of the window.
"What?" Bunny said but he knew what.
"How could you say that to him?! He's only a kid!" Tooth screeched and looked out the window for Jack. Sandy had sand coming out of his ears. North walked up to Bunny.
"Vat were you doing! Go and apologise!" North said. Bunny nodded.
"Akay, I will- I didn't mean to hurt him like tha'" he said and summoned a tunnel. He jumped in and the tunnel closed, leaving a daisy in it's place.
Bunny sniffed the air. He was at lake Burgess- Jack liked to go here a lot. He smelt a mixture of scents, but no Jack. He sighed and was about to turn back when he caught another scent. It was faint, but it was there. Blood. Bunny ran into the trees, following the smell. It was getting stronger. He burst into a clearing by the pond and his eyes fell on the snow in front of him. It was stained red, but that wasn't what worried him. He could smell Jack, all over the blood. He needed to find Jack. He knew where he would be. He jumped into a tunnel and it closed after him, leaving a red poppy.
Jack sat on a glacier and groaned. He was really dizzy, and not very aware of his surroundings. He could feel the blood running on his arms. That was when he fell unconscious.
"Frostbite!" Bunny called. No answer. He had came to Antarctica, sure that he was here, but it looked like he was wrong. He looked at the glaciers carefully and saw a familiar figure.
"Jack!" he cried and scrambled up. He nudged him. Jack didn't move. Then he looked down and saw the blood seeping out of his wrists. "Oh, Jack- no!" he said before coming to his senses. A pulse, he thought and decided to test on his neck. He still had one. Bunny scooped Jack up in his arms and pulled out a snowglobe. North gave all the guardians one of these in case of an emergency.
"Workshop" he said and smashed the globe. A portal opened and Bunny stepped through, Jack in his arms.
Dun dun dun!
