Tooth laid Jack onto a bed. She looked at Jack's still figure for a moment and then turned to face the others.
"I...I am going to go clean the blood off of me" she said quietly. After she left Bunny silently sat next to Jack.
"North, I was so mean to him" he mumbled. North put his hand on Bunny's shoulder.
"Is going to be alright, old friend. Jack will be better befor you know it" North said.
"But what if he doesn't?" Bunny looked up at North with big sad eyes.
"You mustn't say tings like that. You might start believing in them"
"Why not believe them? No one believes in me" Bunny sadly got up and walked away. North started to clean up Jack's head wound.
"Don't listen to him, Jack. You will get better. You will because i believe in you" North whispered to him.
~Meanwhile~
Jack was wondering around his frozen pond. He was happy. Truly happy because no one was hurting him, no one was making him feel needed when they were just using him, no fake promises of friendship and need. Jack was alone but Jack was free of hurt.
He flew around in the sky as he laughed but for no reason at all he fell and hit the ice hard. He groaned and sat up.
"What happened?" he said. He looked around. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a shadow. He got up and ran after it.
"Hey wait...who are you?" he called after the shadow figure. The shadow turned around and gave him an evil grin. "Pitch?"
"You were left asleep. You are merely a child yourself and there is nothing they can do to protect you" Pitch said. Jack tried to get away but, for once, the ice did nothing to help him. He slipped and fell onto the hard ground.
"Do you really believe that they could ever except you? That they care about you? You are only needed to stop me and then they would have went back to ignoring you"
"That's not true" Jack snapped.
"Oh isn't it? Where are they? Where are they while you are lying half dead in the bottom of an ice cannon. You risked your life to save them and they couldn't care less for you"
"You're wrong"
"Oh yeah? Prove it? Bunny kicked you out before you could explain yourself. Tooth kept your memories from you. North never got you a present, and he give all the good children presents"
"You're being too hard on them"
"You're being too easy on them. My offer still stands, Jack. Join me, and we can rule the world together" Jack glared at him and shook his head.
"You attacked me. I can't trust you. I can't trust you"
Bunny was watching Jack sleep when Jack started yelling out for help.
"Jack, come on, mate. You're safe, please wake up" Bunny said lightly shaking the boy to wake him up. Jack slowly opened his eyes.
"Bunny, where am I?" Jack asked.
"You're in North's workshop, kid. Tooth flew you out of the raveen. You were covered in blood. I thought-...I thought that you were..." dead? Bunny couldn't say it. Bunny didn't want to think about it. The thought of losing his snowflake was too hard to think about.
"What's happening?" Jack said. Bunny looked up at him and saw that he was looking out the window.
"The ice...it's all melting" Jack said.
"You can't control the snow anymore. Pitch broke your staff" Bunny explained. Jack looked at his broken staff that lay on the table across the room. He looked like he was going to reached out for it.
"Easy" Bunny said pushing him back down onto the bed. "You'll hurt yourself"
"No, you don't understand if that ice melts-"
"It'll flood the world. I know" Bunny interrupted. "Look, a couple more days won't do much damage will it? Just rest right now, heal up and then heal the world. Alright?"
Jack sighed and layed back down. Bunny looked out the window to watch more ice fall. If Jack had at least one believer he'd heal faster, Bunny thought to himself.
Hey Party People,
Sorry that this is really late. I have been in a traumatic event lately and had to deal with that before writing. I assume that the next chapter will be up later but not that soon. I promise you this is not abandoned. Stay safe, Stay happy
