Do not own Rise of the Guardians. Please Review.
Jack ducked out of the way… did someone just throw a boomerang at him? Seriously, who carries a boomerang?! He pointed his staff towards where the boomerang was heading. Suddenly a large, furry creature appeared before him. He was very tall and had long ears. His fur was purple with dark stripes, he had soft white fur on his belly and feet.
"You've got to be kidding me." Jack rolled his eyes.
"Oy mate what's the big idea with all this snow?!" He yelled as he jumped closer.
"Snow day! What's your deal with attacking me?" Jack thought about freezing him where he stood, but if the monster was willing to talk he was willing to listen, a little.
The creature leapt up to Jack's roof top slipping on the slick shingles.
"Are you off your gourd?!" Bunnymund finally stood in front of Jack.
Bunny was more than a head taller than Jack not including his ears. Jack took a step forward, he hadn't done anything wrong. He just made it snow for the kids. The creature was fuming, he reminded Jack of a wild boar. Once stable on the roof he shook off more snow out of his fur.
"What is your problem?" Jack growled. If he wasn't so angry about this rather large rabbit for yelling at him he might have been surprised he was seen.
"Its EASTER SUNDAY!" He grabbed Jack's shoulders.
"And?" Jack raised an eye brow.
"Oh I see how it is Mate… You wanna start a blue with the big bloke, eh?" He held up his fuzzy paws.
Jack stared at him like he grew another head. "What did you just say?" he sputtered trying not to laugh.
Then without warning Bunny leapt into the air and kicked Jack in the chest which sent Jack flying. He slammed into the side of another house. He gasped as the air left his lungs. As he fell to the ground he could hear the whistle of the boomerang again, this time Jack froze it midair. He grabbed it and waited for Bunny to show himself.
Bunny came out of nowhere and punched Jack in the jaw. Jack hit the ground hard and coughed. He must of bit his lip because he spat blood on the pavement. He wiped his lip and glared at Bunny. He seemed rather pleased with himself. He stood over Jack, Bunny cracked his knuckles, Jack really didn't appreciate the beat down. Jack laughed and then swung his staff and sent Bunny high into the air. He dashed up after him. Jack smiled as Bunny was flailing about in the air.
"Why you little-" Then the wind stopped and Bunny began to fall back down to earth.
Jack pondered for a moment just letting him fall. It was a small voice in the back of his mind, dark and sinister whispering let him fall. He smiled at the thought but then shook it off and caught Bunny before he hit the ground. His efforts were not rewarded as Bunny kicked Jack in the chin and sent him into a car which set off the alarm. He choked checking to make sure he still had all his teeth. That was the last straw. No more Mr. Nice Guy. Bunny dashed into his view and Jack put his staff to the ground and froze Bunny in place. This caused him to face plant hard on the ground.
Bunny groaned into the cold ground and then moved his head to look up at Jack. "You'll pay for this Frost. YOU'LL PAY!" Bunny screamed as Jack dropped his boomerang by his face. Jack would unfreeze him once he was out of sight. He didn't want to ruin Easter for the kids who weren't hit by the storm.
He sighed and made his way back to his pond. He was such a screw up. Ruining Easter, what was wrong with him? He sniffed, no more tears. He promised himself no more tears 20 years ago. He wouldn't let himself cry. Pitch would just pick on him anyway.
He waited for Pitch as the sun began to rise. It was like every other sunrise but this time it was prettier, he could see the town sparkling with snow… He sighed knowing the kids would hate the snow. They would have much rather had Easter. Pitch appeared on the pond again about his usual time.
"Why didn't you tell me today was Easter?" Jack tried not to sound too upset.
"Why, I thought you knew." Pitch looked hurt.
"Why would I know what day it is? I haven't known what day it is in over 50 years Pitch." He yelled.
Pitch was a bit taken back as the white haired boy ran his fingers through his hair. This was not going to end well. It was then Pitch noticed how roughed up he looked.
"What happened?" Pitch took hold of his face inspecting it.
"It's nothing." He avoided Pitch's eyes.
"Jack." He glared.
"Some big purple Kangaroo calling himself the Easter Bunny threw me into a building…and punched me in the face for the blizzard. It's fine. It will heal." He sighed still avoiding Pitch's gaze.
Pitch felt a pang of guilt. It was his fault. He was completely responsible for the bruises that adorned the young immortal's face. The light purple under his eye, his split lip, all of it made him look like a bullied child. Pitch pulled him into a hug.
"You had the purest intentions." He sighed.
Jack lost himself in Pitch. The tears welled in his crystal blue eyes and he buried his face into Pitch's stomach. But then it occurred to him. Pitch knew it was Easter. This was his fault. Jack stiffened.
"Jack?" Pitch stroked the teen's hair.
Jack then shoved Pitch away. "YOU!" He rubbed his forehead. "It's always been you!" He pointed his staff at Pitch. "You have been ruining my life from the very beginning. It's always been you… "
