Falling part 3
They run and run and hopped and flied and just run.
Jack had fallen.
The time glass of his life had broken.
Two days earlier Jack had been his own lively joke maker and now…
Would there be a body? Anything? Or had he fallen through the earth to the Underworld and left nothing to them to find? The Shadows, the Darkness has fade, the storm was end. The earth and the sky and the spirits and the gods and the humans were alive because Jack had blamed himself.
You stupid stupid idiot! Bunny screamed but he couldn't say did he screamed himself or to Jack.
When they arrived there where Jack had fallen they founded the burned ground, all black. The ground, the woods, the rocks.
There was nothing alive.
Nothing.
And no Jack.
.
You left us.
Stupid stupid stupid… Bunny wanted to cry, but he was too angry.
"Look." Tooth whispered.
Something was glowing midst of the devastation.
Everyone stopped.
It was cold and tiny when Bunny carefully took hold of it. Silver and blue and shimmering and pulsing.
"Snowflake. It's snowflake." He whispered and suddenly North was standing there. "We have hope."
"Nicholas?" Bunny looked his friend and saw the wonder in his eyes.
"Come come, we have to go before it's too late." North took one of his snow globes and whispered. "North Pole." And threw it. The magical portal appeared. "Bunny, hurry."
"Are you serious? What is going on?" Bunny was pushed inside the portal.
"Just hurry up. We have no time. We can still save him. Ooh, he was clever. So clever." North laughed when they landed on the other side middle of the hardest winter ever. Others were fast behind.
Also Death was following them, curious to know. Jack, being winter spirit had been one of the closest to him among the spirits. They haven't ever shared a friendship, but they had shared some things and one of that was bringing death to humans. The darkest side of Jack Frost that Death doubted that others really saw or understood. One of those sides what kept Jack away from others.
"If it would be summer, this might not work. You know, Jack is weakest then. But now, it's winter. And he…" North pointed the shimmering snowflake. "He's a snow and ice and coldness and wind and all."
Bunny looked the snowflake. "Jack? You mean…"
"Maybe he heard you. Maybe he planned this all along. Maybe…"
"This isn't work."
"But we can try." North looked Bunny and suddenly E. Aster Bunnymund felt it.
Hope.
I am hope.
I should never just give up.
And Bunny nodded. There was nothing to lose anymore. He stepped forward and placed the tiny snowflake on the snow where shone.
"Now, we wait." North said.
