51 reviews! Thank you soooooo much! By the way, just random, any of you looking forward to Moana? I am! I'm so sorry this update took so long- I somehow managed to loose my phone:-\
Anyway, I don't own rotg...and on with the show!
The guardians weren't coming for him. Pitch was right. He had been forgotten- one of his worst fears. Hey- no- they would never do that!
How do you know?
"Shut up!" he said, well tried to but no sound came out. Wait! He couldn't speak?!
Let the fear take you...
No! He tried to put his hands over his ears, but he didn't have the strength. He hadn't eaten or drank for ages. Would he stay here forever, forgotten and rotting?
No one cares for you...
They do! Did they?
Uselesssssssss
Jack let the tears seep from his eyes. He was alone. He was afraid. He wanted this to end.
He was scared.
So, so, scared.
Scared of sleeping.
Scared of hoping.
Scared of believing.
Jack whimpered and let the tears flow.
"So this is where the fucker's hidin'" Bunny said, looking at the hole under the old bed.
"Lets go." North said and jumped down it, followed by the rest of the guardians.
"Whoa..." Bunny said. He couldn't help it. The room they had landed in was so...different. With North leading, they made their way to the centre Metal cages hung from the roof and it was so...prison cell- like. It made Bunny shiver.
"Oh...so you finally came..." Pitch sneered from behind them. Bunny threw a boomerang and him but Pitch simply deflected the attack.
"Where is Jack?!" North shouted. Pitch smirked.
"Whatever happened to hello?" he said with an evil smile and with a cry, started to attack the guardians.
Jack turned his head. Was that...a voice? No, he must be imagining it. He needed more sleep. His limbs felt so heavy and he could barely keep his eyes open. Was that...a screech? Was this real?
Of cause it's not...
But...
Who would want to come for you? Everybody's glad you're gone...you have been forgotten...
It was his imagination. Nobody would want to find him.
Pitch lay defeated, wrapped in golden sand whips. These guardians were angry. Bunny stepped forward and grabbed Pitch's throat.
"Now...where is Jack?!" he said fiercely. Pitch smiled.
"Go and find him..." he said and shrunk into the shadows.
"The little..." North muttered before coming to his senses. Jack! "Come on! We need to find Jack- he is somewhere in here!" he cried and started walking, the other guardians close behind.
Those sounds were voices- he was sure of it! Jack tried to call, but nothing happened.
Look how useless you are...they will take one look at you and leave you here...
No! The guardians weren't like that!
You will just rot here...
No!
Forgotten
Jack wanted the voice to stop, but he couldn't. He knew it was right.
Alone...
Jack felt the tears fall from his face.
Not believed in...
Jack no longer saw the point in fighting. He lost. Jack let his eyes close. He was giving in to the fear.
"Jack?!" Was that...North?
"JACK!" That was defiantly Bunny. Jack tried to call, but to no avail. Jack summoned the last of his strength and threw a stone at the wall. It made a clang, and Jack fell unconscious.
Bunny heard something. It was far away, but it was definitely something. Bunny looked in the direction of the sound and sniffed the air carefully. North noticed this.
"Vat is it?" he asked but Bunny ignored him. He had caught a very faint sent coming from the tunnel the noise had came from.
"Down 'ere," Bunny said and nodded at the dark chamber infront of him, "somethin' is down there..." Tooth looked anxiously.
"But we can't see..." she said. Sandy stood inbetween them and waved a sand ball in the air.
"Wha..." Bunny muttered. Sandy rolled his eyes and threw it in the chamber. It instantly lit up the whole thing. North laughed.
"You have lots of good ideas, Sandy- now lets find Jack!" Cautiously, with Bunny leading, the guardians made their way into the tunnel. Bunny sniffed the air again. The smell was stronger now, but still quite far. Hey...wasn't that...it couldn't be... Bunny suddenly bolted down the chamber quicker than he ever had.
"Wait!" North yelled and Bunny turned.
"Follow me- quick! I know where Frostbite is!" he said and ran off again, this time with the rest of the group following him.
Running footsteps. Shouting. The dark. That was all that Jack was aware of before falling unconscious again.
Bunny slapped his paws against the wall in frustration. This was the right way! It was just blocked off. Another one of Pitch's tricks.
"Maybe...you went the wrong way?" Tooth suggested. Bunny glared at her. Just then, in the silence, they heard a small cough. North pushed Tooth out the way and pounded at the wall.
"Jack!" he cried and turned to Bunny, "is it him?" he asked. Bunny nodded frantically and started to kick the wall with his powerful legs.
"Find an opening!" North shouted to them "Quick!" Jack was in there. Alone. In the dark. They needed to get him out of there.
"Found one!" Tooth suddenly cried, "it's small"
"Bunny, Sandy- you go in- you are the only ones able to fit into spaces like that- me and Tooth will stay here on guard. Go!" North said, and Bunny and Sandy scrambled into the hole.
"Sandy- give us some light" Bunny asked, and Sandy threw some dream sand on the floor. However, it only made a minor difference to the room. Bunny looked at him questionably. Sandy shrugged. Bunny straightened up and looked around the box room. It was really small. What was the point in it? Sandy saw something shift in the corner. Carefully, he began to approach it.
"Hey Sandy-" Bunny turned and found Sandy gesturing wildly to him and pointing at a figure. Jack. Bunny rushed over to Sandy's side and gently shook the winter spirit. Jack's eyes flickered open but they weren't focusing on anything. From the little light Bunny had, he could see big circles under them.
"Jack- you gotta stay awake for me..." Jack's eyes dizzily moved to Bunny. He mouthed something, but then slipped into unconsciousness. "This is bad..." Bunny muttered and tried to shake him awake again. Sandy tugged Bunny's fur to get his attention and pointed to one of Jack's legs on the floor. It was bent at a weird angle- defiantly broken, Bunny thought. They needed to get Jack out of here- he was sure that the leg wasn't the only cause of Jack's state. He gently picked up Jack but he immediately let out a scream of pain. Bunny lay him down again quickly. Jack opened his eyes again and looked at him and Sandy. A brief -very brief- smile flickered on his face and he tried to say something. Why couldn't he just talk? Then Jack slowly blacked out again. Sandy gasped silently and created a dream cloud under Jack. Then gently he lifted him up off the ground and made his way to the hole. They would get Jack out.
