Heeeey! Anyways, thanks for still reading my story, if you stuck around this long. Now, on with the story!
Jack arrived at the North Pole after everyone else. The Guardians were discussing Pitch's random attacks. The thought occurred to him that Pitch must have been attacking the residents of the Tree.
"Hello. Did I miss anything?" he asked. Jack was pretty sure both Tooth and Baby Tooth almost fainted when they saw him.
"Well, just everything important," Bunny replied smugly. Sandy and Tooth gave Bunny a look that said "you did not just say that".
"Hello, Jack. I looked over the places that Pitch has attacked, and no patterns show up. However, I did see that he visits Michigan quite often, but doesn't attack there," North said.
"Have you considered the Tree? It's where some of the spirits live," Jack said. All of them just stared at him like they were guilty of something.
"How do you know about them? You didn't talk to them did you? They have bad reputations!" Tooth said in a quick but serious tone.
"What are you talking about? Have you even met them?" Jack asked. He was starting to get frustrated.
"Ya see, mate, these spirits are very different and dangerous. They cause hurricanes and forest fires. They are literally walking natural disasters!" Bunny practically screamed.
"You know what? You guys are all prejudice about them. Call a meeting when there aren't any bias opinions. I'll come to that," Jack said, clearly annoyed with them. So with that, he flew off to karaoke night.
He got to the Tree around 5 o'clock. He saw April sitting down on a baby blue blanket, petting a bunny.
"Hey," Jack said. She looked sad and fragile, like she would cry in the next five seconds.
"Hi," she said, "this is May." April gestured to the bunny. It was white with black and brown speckles. She had a pink crystal tied around her neck. Jack bent down o pet her, but she didn't give a response. She was dead.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. What happened?" he asked softy. April sniffled.
"Well… I was walking around the meadow, and I saw… a light Isuppose. So I just had to be curious and go look. May is… er, was my pet bunny, by the way. Anyways, I found a diamond, just buried into the soil. Naturally, I took it to father time. And he gave a prophecy. You have to wear the crystal. He said that for this to work, one had to give up their immortality. I begged and pleaded and cried when May ran to the light and dissolved, like she never existed." And with that, the first tear finally fell from her eye. Her eye color was now cadet blue. Then, she pulled out a diamond with a string around it so as to be worn as a necklace. Then Jack thought of something.
"Where is Heat?" he asked.
"He's out making the world warmer, with Apollo and Apollonia," she said between sniffles.
"Who are Apollo and Apollonia?" he asked.
"Spirits that don't have crystals. They don't live in the Tree, either," she replied. "I need to be alone right now." And with that, she walked away on her path of clouds with May in her arms.
