Rating for this chapter: T (for mentions of blood)
As all of this was happening. Mother nature was in her throne room already knowing the guardians were there to stop her father's master plan for revenge. But what they didn't know was there was that he was there in the room with her right now.
Bunny and Jack were bashing through the castle as fast as they could. They soon reached the throne room.
"So wha's our game plan frostbite?" Bunny asked looking over to the winter spirit.
"We go in and tie her up and try to get some answers." Jack replied.
Bunny smirked and nodded. "Alright let's kick some her butt!"
As soon as they opened the door… Jack was enveloped by darkness.
Jack looked around himself. All he could see was darkness. Then it dawned on him…. He was in the same nightmare from this morning…
"No… no … NO! Not again!" Jack shouted in fear. "Let me out of here pitch. I know this is just a dream!"
"Or do you?" a voice asked.
"Huh?"
"Look around you Jack, does this look like a dream to you?"
"Yes-" Jack looked to the ground expecting the other guardians to be covered in blood… but this time there were others. The braguss kids, people he didn't know and… his sister….
Jack collapsed to his knees…
"How… how did this happen?" it all felt so real…
"You did this Jack."
"What?" Jack's voice trembled in fear. "Y-your lying!"
"Oh poor poor Jack Frost. Can't even admit when he made a mistake."
Jack sat there shaking, tears threatening to fall.
Bunny had no idea what had just happened. He thought mother nature was alone! Well big mistake there. Now Jack was on the ground in one of pitch's soul crushing nightmares.
"You retch! Let him go!" bunny yelled at Pitch.
Pitch smiled at this. "Oh look the over sized rabbit is throwing a tantrum. How bout we lay him down for a nap?" pitch mocked, then looked to mother nature. She smirked.
Bunny growled. But before the battle even started… there was a loud scream.
And not just any scream… it was Jack Frost's….
Bunny was by the boy's side instantly. "Let him go!" Bunny shouted once more, holding the boy close to his furry chest.
"Now why would I do that? Look at his wonderful little dream he's having."
At this Jack whimpered.
Bunny stood up. "If you don't let him go right now Ah'll-"
"Do what? Fight me? Ah! As if you could. I could easily crush the boy's spirit right now. Shattering his soul into a thousand unpatchable precious pieces." pitch laughed. "But I want him to suffer."
Bunny growled. They needed to regroup. "We'll be back!"
"I'm sure you will."
And with that Bunny stomped his foot on the floor. A hole appeared and he was down it before pitch had a chance to send his sand after him.
Jack didn't know what to do. He was covered in blood, it wasn't his blood it was theirs… all of the people he knew and loved… people he didn't even know… he was covered in their blood….
His once pure white hair, stained red… his clothes drenched with the color…
How could he have let his happen?
He screamed…
That's all he could do….
Yell and scream at himself…
He collapsed further on to the ground…
That was when uncontrollable tears stared running down his blood covered face….
He was crying…
Sobbing…
Wailing….
Why did he do this!?
How Could He Have Done This!?
Then he felt it…
A furry hand…. No wait paw was petting him…. Shushing him…
A large hands where holding him… a light soft touch was rubbing his arm… a rough small hand was rubbing his other….
And before he knew it… the darkness and the death was gone…
When Bunny had gotten back to the others Jack was out right sobbing.
Bunny hand Jack over to North, the big man instantly held the boy like he was his son placing him so his head was over his shoulder.
Tooth was soon by the man's side and was rubbing the boy's arm softly.
Sandy was doing the same thing.
Bunny walked in front of North and gently started to pet the boy's head.
It seemed to be working… the boy was calming down quite a bit.
And soon he was opening his eyes.
Jack was soon enveloped with hugs and soothing words.
They took Jack to the sleigh, taking off shortly after. Bunny, Tooth and Sandy were still hugging him as they flew. Jack hadn't said a word. North flew the sleigh back to the pole.
Once they reach his workshop, bunny carried jack into one of the lobby areas of the pole. They sat him on a chair, all of them huddling around him.
Jack was in a daze, his blue eyes dull and lifeless….
"Fro- Jacky? Hey talk ta meh." Bunny lifted the boy's face to look at him.
Jack blinked a couple times. "Bunny? Y-your a- alive?" Jack asked voice cracking.
Did pitch make Jack think they were all dead? Oh when he got his hands on that son of a-
"Y-your all alive ...? I'm so glad ..." Jack looked at them all tears peeking at the corners of his eyes.
"Yes sweet tooth, everyone is safe and sound." Tooth soothed. "Can you tell us what happened?"
Jack was about to shake his head but stopped when he saw the worried faces of the others. So he nodded instead.
"P-pitch… he showed me something similar to my dream from this morning… I told him I knew I was dreaming… but then… everyone I knew and loved was there…. Dead… lifeless…. Covered in blood… I should have realized it was all a dream when I saw my sister there…. But it felt so real… there were people I didn't know… he told me that…. This was all my fault… my fault that there dead….." jack was hugging himself now… he was shaking slightly as well.
The others were instantly wrapping their arms around the small boy.
Jack looked at them all…
"Guys…?"
"Just relax frostbite."
Jack sniffed and smiled so brightly, the brightest smile the guardians had ever seen in their long endless lives.
"Thank you."
