* I AM SO SORRY. When I first uploaded the chapter, Fanfiction or my computer derped and it wasn't brought to my attention until somebody commented. I'm reposting the entire story. I am very, very, VERY sorry I ended posting some kind of weird sneak peak. Sorry guys! :(
"WHOO! Bunny, you have to try this! It's so much fun to-" Jacqueline stopped abruptly, stumbling on the large, moldy stone egg. She quickly regained her balance, sighing as she did. "Bunny? Can you take my staff? It's throwing me off balance!" She pouted, lying on her back, she twirled her hair around the staff, looking to Bunny for approval. He frowned, staring up at the few pieces of silver hair she let hang off the edge. "Pleeeeaaasseee? It is Easter today, right? Consider it an extra Easter gift from you to me!" flipping over, she grinned at him, poking him with the edge of her staff. He huffed, before gently grabbing the staff from her.
"I got it, but be careful. Also, I'm dockin 5 piec's o 'candy fa' this. Ah, an' i's the day before Easter. We celebrate early." He smirked, sitting down on a nearby rock.
He laughed as he heard her fading cry of "How did I not know that!?" before he bent down and scooped up a blank egg. He worked slowly and carefully, meticulously painting each stripe, dot, or curve. He slowly became immersed in his work, outside noises leaving him. Finally, it was just him and his artwork.
"-Oww!" Bunny stood up hurriedly, scanning the nearby area for Jacqueline.
"Snowball! Get ya pasty butt over 'ere!" he raced towards the sound of her almost silent whimpers, confused and irritated by the near silence of them. Wouldn't she be louder, wanting to be found? He shrugged the thoughts away, focusing on the many ways he could stretch his legs further and faster. "Snowfla-" He was cut off by ice painfully snaking it's way over his nose, mouth and chin. He flinched at the sudden pain, before focusing on the most important thing at hand; His snowflake. He took her in slowly and carefully, horror quickly showing on the less freezing portion of his face. The ground around her was frozen, ice slowly spiraling up and around her limp frame. She was lying on the ground, burning tears falling from her eyes as black sand raced over her head. The sand was worse than what he was accustomed to, it was blacker than night and had black blood dripping from almost every grain of sand.
He thought he was seeing hallucinations, even, as he spotted a small, demonic figure from the corner of his eye. He stiffened, turning his focus back to Jacqueline. Her tears literally burned; melting the ice and snow, and causing her cheeks to redden unnaturally. Despite the silent sobbing, ice quickly encased her in a cocoon, along with the demonic sand. Moving closer to the ice, he banged his boomerangs against it and watched in horror as the sand slowly morphed itself into a nightmare.
Her nightmare was vivid and detailed as it began, and the first person to be shown was, unsurprisingly, Pitch Black. Pitch walked calmly in a blank corridor, before reaching one small, frozen door. Cracking it open, he walked in to find Jacqueline. Bunny's eyes widened as he saw the girl, in her nightmare having only a tight crop top and extremely small shorts. Banging on the ice in fear, he tugged and whacked at her shell until his hands bled. Despite this, the dream went on.
~~~DreamLand~~~
Jacqueline paced the room worriedly, her powers extending despite Pitch taking her staff. She stopped suddenly at the terrifying sound of footsteps, before looking down to her attire. She was wearing no underwear or bra, and only had on some kind of short, sleeveless shirt and tiny, scratchy, and useless shorts. She backed into the corner as the person she hated, Pitch Black, entered. He smiled evilly at her clothing, walking to her calmly. Pitch laughed gently, and reached out to caress her cheek. As she flinched away, four ropes of black sand were created, tying her to where she stood.
"You see, my Rose, now I can manipulate your arms and legs whenever I feel the need, into whatever position I like. Do you plan on cooperating, or will you be making this difficult?" She glared, tugging at her binds.
"I'm not your Rose." Grinning, Pitch gently pet her face, his hand trailing from her cheek, to her chin, neck collarbone, and then her chest.
"We'll do this the hard way, then." The rest of the dream was filled with tortured cries of pain and sorrow, the crackling of sand as it repaired itself due to damage, and, of course, the defiance, sadness, and hatred that comes with a child losing hope.
~~~DreamLand- Over~~~
Bunny sat for hours, watching the horrible scenes as the ice around Jacqueline slowly melted. He had quickly discovered hitting it prolonged her torture, and had simply sat with her. The ice was finally down to only an inch away from her skin, and he waited with tears falling from his eyes. The nightmare was terrible to even watch, and he couldn't imagine how she felt dreaming it. Looking down at the girl, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. The ice had seconds left. Bunny grabbed her as she fell from it, holding her to his chest. Suddenly, she shoved him, both falling onto their backs.
Jacqueline scrambled up, tears already gone and dry. "Bunnymund... This never happened. Easter is coming up in mere hours, so just go get ready and leave me alone. I'm fi-"
"Ya not fine, snowflake. An' I'm not leavin' ya 'ere alone. I'll 'ave North, Tooth, 'n Sandy do it fa' me. Now c'mere." she looked down, before turning on her heel and walking away. "Sheila!" Bunny ran to her, and quickly held her in his arms. "Ya don't need ta be a big girl, Jacqueline... Ya have done it long enough."
"... I'm sorry." She whispered, silent for a time after that. She slowly placed her arms around him, and they stood together, each waiting for the other to speak. "Thank you, Bunny." She smiled softly at him, before burying her face in his fur and collapsing. He flinched at the sudden weight, before quickly sitting her down with him. His chest slowly becoming soaked, he held her in his arms, gently swaying. And as she fell asleep, he sang to her a special song.
"Wintertime winds blow cold this season,
Fallen in love,
I'm hoping to be,
Winter so cold, is that the reason
Keeping you warm,
your hands touching me?
Come with me,
dance, my dear,
Winter's so cold this year,
You are ice cold, but warm to me,
Wintertime winds blow, and freeze,
They settle on her lake,
Where her heart stays and aches,
So come with me Snowflake, We can escape..."
Sorry guys... Anyway, most of Bunny's little love song was from as Song called Wintertime Love, by The Doors. I looked it up, and although I dont like how it's sung it could be really good. I tweaked it at the end, but I still need to give credit. Anyway, I'm really sorry if this chapter wasn't very good. :'( It's almost 3AM and I stayed up till 4AM yesterday, but I really wanted to give you all something to read. :) Anyway, I wrote one for Easter! Yay! XD I'm too lazy to wait till Easter itself, and I hate Valentines day, so let's say I wrote this to make up for ignoring Valentines Day. :D Anyway, byyyeee! ^_^
