Rotg fanfic- Taken Over By Darkness- Epilogue
Everything was dark. Everything felt heavy. Everything ached.
His mind was slow, and vague thoughts passed through his head, at a snails pace. Attempting to collect his heavy thoughts, one of them became clear. Was he dead?
He entertained the idea, but decided he wasn't. He'd been dead before, and this wasn't what it was like- besides- things didn't ache when you were dead. Then again, he wasn't feeling too lively either.
He managed to crack his eyes open a little, and found himself staring at a bare, wooden ceiling. Well at least it wasn't a frozen lake, he thought.
He'd just managed to raise his groggy head, and look round, when a door, he hadn't even noticed until then, burst open.
An excitable, green blur, entered the room.
"Jack!" Tooth cried, face alight with joy and relief. She launched herself at him, at the last minute containing her excitement, and hugged him gently.
"Baby Tooth said you were stirring, but I didn't think youd be awake!" She said, as she spoke, a tiny fairy chirped happily at the mention of her name, and zipped in to rest on his shoulder, snuggling up against his neck.
He grinned- he was happy to see her too, but he had to know something.
"What happened?" He wondered. Tooth pulled away, and smiled at him, eyes shining with pure happiness.
"He saved you, Jack. Manny saved you." He looked confused.
"But... I only asked him to save the Guardians." He told her, bewildered. She laughed.
"Exactly. You are a Guardian. You're one of us, now, Jack."She smiled. Baby Tooth snuggled against his neck again, to prove the point. Suddenly, the morning seemed that more brighter, to Jack.
He leaned up, feeling a little better.
"How do you feel?" She asked, thrilled to see him sitting up.
"Not brilliant." He admitted, swinging his legs off the side of his bed, and standing up slowly, before realising- he probably looked like a wreck, that was how he felt, anyway.
"Why, how do I look?" He queried.
Tooth hovered on the spot, with a curious look on her face. It was a while before she answered.
"You look... perfect." She replied. He smiled at her, and she smiled back. Baby Tooth watched, resting her head in her hands, lost in the land of "Awwww".
The moment was broken, when the door was suddenly thrown open again. The large figure of North strolled in, closely followed by Sandy and Bunny.
"Jack, you're up!" He bellowed. The winter spirit's grin broadened.
"Hey, North." He managed, before he was swept into a massive, bone-cracking hug. "Ahh, North, crushing me- just a little bit!" He strained. North laughed, in his larger than life way, and set him back down.
Sandy was sending golden fireworks above their heads, but their was another, more reluctant, Guardian, who was secretly just as glad to see him up as the others, attempting to hide in the corner- and Jack noticed.
"What? No hug, Bunny?" He inquired, smirking slightly. Bunnymund had a grin on his face, he was trying, and failing, to disguise with a scowl. He shuffled over, and yanked Jack towards him, giving him a hug big brother style. One hand preventing his escape, the other mercilessly messing up his head.
"Ahh! No, Bunny- ow, stop it! Cut it out, cut it out!" Jack complained, Baby Tooth squeaking angrily at Bunny, as he did so. "I'll braid your fur!" He warned, and with that, Bunny finally let go. Baby Tooth gave a satisfied nod, as Jack rubbed his head. He was just thinking, thank goodess that was over, when North yelled, "Group hug!"
He found himself with a golden little man attached to his chest, Baby Tooth snuggled harder than ever before. The Tooth Fairy herself, squealed in delight, and threw herself in. Even Bunny joined in, properly this time. Then, North came up, and wrapped his arms round everyone, lifting them all up into his huge embrace.
They were all together again. All of them laughing, hysterically. It was one of those perfect moments, where everyone was happy.
Perhaps Pitch would come back, Jack thought, but with friends- no, a family- like this, he really didn't stand a chance.
