A/N: Hello everyone, I want to thank you for reading and hope you enjoy this new chapter. I would like to apologize for the short chapter; I just had to get it out before testing started at school. Hope you enjoy reading.
(P.S: First update for chapter five, fixed most of the problems including large text blocks and minor spelling and grammatical mistakes)
The cold winter wind whipped at Jacks brown leather cloak as he nimbly jumped from rooftop to rooftop with cat like skill. He paused and glanced back at a lightning fast shadows that had been pursuing him for the last hour. "Time to see what I'm up against" he whispered raising his ancient wooden staff as the shadow rapidly grew nearer.
Suddenly a small hole opened up below Jack's feet causing and closed around his ankles when he fell in. "Didn't want you giving me frostbite mate" a voice said in a Australian accent, seconds later Bunnymund appeared from behind a nearby chimney.
"Well, well if it isn't the Easter kangaroo" Jack teased as a smile cracked his pale face; Bunnymund scowled and squatted beside the helpless Guardian. "I'm a bunny you bloody dag" he grunted as he put out a hand to help his old friend out of the hole he had made.
Dusting himself off Jack turned to look out at the moon that was slowly rising above the rooftops; beside him Bunny spun one of his trusty boomerangs. "We thought you were cactus" he said in his thick Australian accent, a puzzled look came across Jack's face. Bunnymund glanced over at the young Guardian and sighed at his expression, "it means dead" he explained simply.
Jack nodded as he finally started to understand his friend's unique vocabulary. "What happened to the rest of the Guardians?" Jack asked suddenly becoming sullen, Bunnymund shook his head sadly. "Pitch has them, not sure where though" he said as he slid his wooden boomerang into the leather belt he worn across his chest.
The pair fell into silence as snow began to slowly drift down from the overcast skies high above them, suddenly Bunny's ears twitched and a scowl spread across his face. "We've got to rack off quick before the Nightmares that have been following you catch up" he said tapping his foot on the ground that quickly fell away revealing a never-ending hole. "After you" Bunny grunted as he gestured to the hole, Jack sighed and dropped into the hole followed closely by Bunnymund.
The ride through the tunnels left Jack lying on the ground clutching his stomach and groaning incoherently, Bunny stood nearby impatiently. "Look if you have to chunder just go ahead and do it" Bunnymund said as he glanced at Jack with mild disgust.
"I-I'm fine" Jack groaned staggering to his feet on shaky legs, suddenly his eyes bugged and he slapped a hand over his mouth. "Don't get near me, go over there!" Bunnymund exclaimed as Jack looked around franticly for a place to vomit. Quickly he leaned behind a bush and let the torrent of bile out, "I am not holding your hair" Bunny commented in disgust. "Very funny" Jack croaked as he wiped his mouth clean and turned to look at his surroundings, he found himself standing in a small clearing surrounded by oak trees.
"Where are we?" Jack asked as he looked at the massive trees in awe, Bunny smirked then turned to a small opening in the rock wall that ringed the small valley. "The new hideout, Pitch flushed everyone out" Bunnymund said as he gestured for Jack to follow him through the small, cave like opening. The silver haired teen complied and stepped into the moss covered passage that his old friend has disappeared into.
After a few feet of walking the cave grew dark causing Jack to squint in an attempt to see the path ahead, suddenly Bunnymund cried out as he stubbed his toe on a rather large rock. "Get stuffed you bloody rocks" he cried out from the gloom causing Jack to snicker quietly at his friend's misfortune.
Seconds later Jack's foot painfully slammed into a rock causing the teen to cry out much to Bunnymund's delight. "That's what you get you little wanker" Bunny chuckled lightheartedly as he continued down the dark passage. Suddenly the cave was filled with light as Bunnymund pushed open a massive wooden door; Jack shielded his eyes and squinted in an attempt to see through the brilliant rays of light. "This is our new headquarters" Bunnymund said once Jack could finally see his surroundings.
The young Guardian found himself looking in amazement as his eyes caught the brilliant underground cave, "wow" he whispered when he caught sight of a massive tree that dominated most of the cave. "This was from when Mother Earth was a Guardian" Bunnymund chuckled from behind Jack causing the teen to jump due to the fact he had forgotten about the rabbit. "C'mon" Bunnymund grunted as he brushed past the winter spirit and started down an ancient staircase, "I'll show you around".
