The tunnel lead me to where the Guardians were. It was somewhere in England, or at the very least had British people.

The entire pathway had been littered with shattered eggs. The father I flew, the more I saw. The more became enraged at Pitch. How dare he ruin this Easter? Who was he to take away a holiday from the bunny? First he took away Tooth's fairies and children, then dreams, now he had to attack Bunnymund.

Don't get me wrong. I still didn't like the rabbit. He was rude, and overly smug about his position as a Guardian.

But he didn't deserve his holiday being ruined.

I found Jack, in the clearing of a park. He was watching the holiday crumble in Bunny's hands.

The children complained. It hurt, knowing that my failure had cost so much.

"There are no eggs."

"There's none anywhere."

"I give up."

"Come on, let's go."

"I don't understand."

Bunnymund ran up to them, not caring if they saw him. He hid in the bushes.

"Maybe he just hid them really well this year." One girl pointed out, but even she didn't sound convinced.

Bunnymund jumped out. "Kids! Oi!"

The kids didn't notice him.

He wasn't seen.

"I checked everywhere! There's nothing!" Another boy complained.

"Yes there is! There is!" Bunnymund held out a basket, filled with the only eggs to survive. "I mean these aren't my best lookin' googies, but they'll do in a pinch!" He showed them the eggs.

"I can't believe it." One child complained. My hands clenched at my sides.

"I know." Bunnymund cheered.

"There's no such thing as the Easter Bunny."

You could hear the sound of Bunnymund's heart shattering, like an egg cracking on the floor. "What?"

"Easter's over. Forget this." A child walked away from the park. Other children followed.

I looked over to the other Guardians. They must know what to do- what were supposed to be doing right now. Except Tooth and North, they were speechless. They watched the scene with heartbreak.

"No! Wrong!" Bunnymund called out to the children. Pleading. Begging. Desperate. "Not, not true! I'm right in front of ya, mate!"

"There's no such thing."

"I know."

The children walked right through Bunnymund.

Tooth gasped behind me.

North muttered something sad in Russian.

I was swearing vengeance on Pitch.

"They don't see me." Bunnymund sighed. "They don't see me."

Tooth flew past. Feathers were falling off her wings again. She went to Bunnymund's side.

Just another life I failed to save

"Jack, Cupid, where were you?" North's voice came from behind. Even from his voice, I knew he was exhausted. They had been fighting the Nightmares probably the entire time we were gone. "The Nightmares attacked the tunnels. They smashed every egg, crushed every basket. Nothing made it to the surface."

Tooth saw us. She came up, more feathers falling. "Cupid! Jack!" She cheered. She stopped, staring at the teeth canisters in our hands. She gasped. "Where did you get those?"

"I was...it's..." Jack stammered.

"There wasn't...I didn't..."

"Where's Baby Tooth?" Tooth pressed. I turned to Jack, searching for the tiny fairy. Then I remembered Pelie had been there too. When I saw he wasn't with me, I inhaled sharply. "Oh no, what have you done?"

"That is why you weren't here?" North stepped forward to us. On instinct, I stood closer to Jack. "You were with Pitch?"

"No, listen, listen...I'm sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen." Jack excused.

"There wasn't any time. It all happened so fast." I added in Jack's defense.

"They have to go."

Turning around, Bunnymund had snuck up on us. Or rather I just hadn't been listening for him.

Jack was shocked at Bunnymund's statement. "What?"

"Hey, this wasn't us!" I snapped. "This was all-"

"We should never have trusted you!" Bunnymund raged. "Easter is new beginnings, new life. Easter is about hope." He sagged. "And now it's gone." He walked away from us, his ears nearly dragging the ground.

That was our fault

We let Pitch manipulate us

Use us

He knew our fears

He played us like children's toys

And because we gave in, we lost so much

We cost the Guardians so much

Maybe they're right not to trust us

Looking back at North and Tooth, I was they had already turned away from us.

The box of teeth hummed in my hand. A song began playing in my head, and I found I welcomed the bitter nostalgia.

Deception.

Disgrace.

As plain as the scar that he wears on his face.

You're not one of us

Jack was looking at me, hoping that maybe I had an idea.

But I had nothing.

The tooth box hummed again.

She wanted words and all I had heard was nothing.

I got nothing.

I shrugged, helpless.

Pitch was right.

As awful a thing that was to think, Pitch was right.

All I could do was reach out my hand to Jack.

I don't wanna be left behind

I've been so blind to all that I have broken

Can we put this back together?

I know this will take time

Can we put the past behind us?

Tonight I'm gonna fight for you

Just give me one last chance to make it right

To show that I still stood with him. Even as everything else crumbled around us.

Even when we're breaking down

We can find a way to break through

Even if we can't find heaven

I'll walk through Hell with you

I'm gonna stand by you.

Jack didn't take my hand. He pulled something out of his pocket. You can imagine my surprise when I saw the Russian nesting doll that North had shown us. Jack has kept it? All this time?

He let it fall to the ground.

Mmm whatcha say

Mmm that you only meant well

Well of course you did

Mmm whatcha say

Mmm what did you say

Jack grabbed my hand. I spread my wings. They two of us pushed off the ground at the same time.

Where did we go wrong

Please tell me

Where did we go wrong?

Where did we go-

Won't somebody tell me?

Where did we go wrong?
