How Do You Love Someone?

Chapter 4 -Their Pasts

Fey was now standing between Jack and Bunny waiting for the rabbit to open his tunnel so they could leave. Tooth had stated that the scar would heal over and fade in two days or so and the girl didn't seem bothered by it. Bunnymund tapped his foot and the hole opened up, Fey sprouted her wings, they looked like a bat to Jack, and dove in after the rabbit with Jack pulling up the rear. Not that he minded. He got a good look at the swiviling tail tufted with spread out black feathers that shimmered purple in the light. It swiveled with her motions from where the base hid under her skirt.

'She could wear a slightly longer skirt next time' he stated as violet lace appeared at a particularly tight corner. Fey laughed as she attempted to race Bunny, but her wings clipped the sides of the tunnels when she tried to pass him. Instead she opted to look back for Jack and grinned when she spotted him. With a lash of that tail of hers, she slowed a bit to glide above him and Jack merely crossed his arms behind his head and rolled over into a reclined postion.

"You're quite slow Snow White. You growing old?" she laughed as Bunny tripped up in laughter at her other nickname for Jack and was soon over taken by the to teens. He quickly caught up though.

"I don't think he's that old yet Sheila. I think he was enjoying the view." At Fey's quizzical look, Bunnymund spelled it out for her.

"You should wear shorts if you intend to fly with a skirt on mate." At those words Fey growled and flicked her tail, hitting Jack in the chest and bouncing him off the ceiling. He couldn't recover before he crashed down on top of the rabbit and curses were loudly shouted in the tunnels. Jack got pissed when Bunnymund called him Snow White and was in return given the new nickname Cotton Ball. They were close to the end of the tunnel anyway but it didn't stop the argument from finishing.

Fey had immediately take off into the sky to hover where dozens of her small critters, Imps, as Jack found out and started redirecting them. Being unable to fly without assistance, Bunnymund took to a rooftop while Jack joined Fey and was even greeted by her Imps. One landed on a palm he held out for it and he got a good look at it.

Imps weren't ugly. Not like the stories say. These were more like fairies with dark skin, gold eyes, and bat wings. Their arms and legs were long and spindly, almost spider like but they held a sort of strength to one was watching him as closely as he was watching her. It had to be a her as it wore a small dress that appeared to woven from spider thread and she had long white hair white a male one Fey was currently talking to had short white hair and pants. When she noticed his stare, Fey smiled and motioned to the imp on his palm.

"She is yours Jack. She is the imp that represents your imagination. Your dreams. Your wishes... Normally you wouldn't be allowed to see her. But now that know what my imps are, I suppose its not important anymore. She has been around for the same 300 years as you and I"

"I'm gonna ask you a stupid question. Why did you become an immortal?" Fey's gold eyes closed as Jack's imp fluttered up to pinch him on the nose. Apparently it was a stupid question and Fey hadn't answered yet. He want to apologize.

"I'm so-"

"I saved two children from the fire that night." He was cut off when she hurriedly told him her tale. "I was 17 and I cared for the four children in the village. I used to love playing pranks and creating things. I encouraged the kids to get imaginative. But one night after the oldest man in the village made the children cry, I stupidly made a joke about setting the tail of his cloak on fire." She took a deep breathe. Jack knew the worst was to come. "They thought I meant it. They took it upon themselves to carry out my words. The older two lit the fire and then ran to watch it burn but the twins stayed. They didn't realize that those pretty flames could kill. The ceiling was falling in and I used my scythe to brace it. Wrapping them in my cloak so the flames at the door didn't hurt them I had them tackle the older kids outside as a prank. They were safe and the scythe broke, the ceiling fell, and I was crushed. It was painful and slow and then I woke up as what I am now." she sighed and appeared as though a terrible burden had been lifted from her shoulders as she let Jack lead her back to the ground and Bunnymund.

"I heard from Tooth that you drowned under the ice after saving your sister with a game. I'm glad you saved her, but I'm sorry you had to die to do it" Jack shook his head and grinned at her.

"It's fine. I'm the Guardian of Fun now. I'm over it" But she shook her head.

"I'm not normally a sad sap like I am right now. I've just been pulled to my emotional limit lately. I mean, just four days ago I almost had my wing ripped off. Now I'm healing and even shared a few jokes with you and Cotton Head here" She had giggled at Bunnymund's outraged yell at her but he only threatened Jack.

"I hope I'm not disturbing anything"
