Something shocking is about to happen...
Lizzie flew alongside the sleigh, still freaked out about what happened in the forest. Tooth called Jack Jackson Overland. Maybe she was hearing things, there was no way. The sleigh flew in through the huge balcony and landed on the floor as the fireflies broke their shape and applauded each other. Lizzie landed next to them, deep in thought. Thinking about Pitch, his plan, what she remembered, the explosion, Ms. Bennett.
Everyone got off the sleigh and Lizzie led them to the family room where they looked around. Jack got a chance to get a good look at it. The ceiling was painted as the night sky and there were real stars floating beneath it ptutting off the light. The balcony had humongous doorways but instead of doors there were golden curtains that were pinned back. In between each doorway there was a Corinthian column. It really was amazing.
Lizzie watched the others look around and study any stars that floated their way. Everyone looked happy except Bunny. Lizzie had lost her tolerance with his anger, what was his deal? She walked her way over to him, fists clenched at her sides.
"What is your problem?!" she asked
"Oh you wouldn't care, just like you don't about Jamie's or Sophie's safety." He said as he turned away from her. The others stopped what they were doing and walked over to stop it but the two ignored them.
"You almost got them Killed. You don't deserve to keep them." He said now glaring down at her.
"Excuse me? Who do you think you are?" She asked now glaring at him. Her feathers where starting to stand up on her wings.
"I'm the Easter Bunny, a guardian, which you aren't and you will never be." He hissed
"Alright you cussing little hair ball, why don't you go crawl back into whatever little hole you crawled out of and stop acting like a child. You're waisting my time." She Said as she started to rise off the ground. She could've spit fire.
"Alright let's just calm down." Said North
"No North! Now you listen to me-" he started
"No! I saved their life and yours! YOU-LISTEN-TO ME!" She yelled now looking down at him. Her fists smoked. She fluttered to the ground And sighed. He still was glaring at her.
"We are not going to fight about this, we are gonna let this go and be on our way." She said as she turned around started to walk in the direction of the others who were pleased with what she said.
She heard Bunny spit. "Can't even save a grown-up."
She stopped in her tracks. Tooth looked at Lizzie and shook her head as if to say 'don't do it' but she ignored it and spun around. She lit on fire and charged towards him pushing him out of a balcony door way and launching him onto the dirt where he skid to a stop. His fur smoked. He pushed himself up and turned around to see Lizzie standing there on fire ready to do it again. He took off his boomerangs and dropped them on the ground and charged towards her. She jumped in the air and hooked her legs around his neck and spun her self down his torso. When she made it to his hips she jumped off and kicked him off his feet and onto his back without a sweat.
"Now, let that be the end of it." She said as she stood up and put herself out. She started to walk towards the castle but he ran up to her from behind and wrapped his arms tightly around her but not her wings. Jack came running out of the castle yelling at Bunny to stop but she didn't want him in this. She shot off the ground and went high in the sky Where he let go of her and they began to fall.
"Bunny! Stop it!" She yelled as he darted towards her and missed. He did it again and hit her making her spin out of control. Then he got above her and put his feet on her stomach and gripped her left leg.
-crack-
Pain spread throughout her body but her leg was the worst. She screamed in pain then looked to her right and saw that they were about to hit the ground. She braced herself for impact and they landed outside of the castle with a BOOM, creating a crater. She had to stop taking all these hard falls. Her vision went blurry for a second and then back to normal. Bunny stood above her and then was shot with ice making him fly back and get knocked out. She groaned and winced in pain as she held her leg with both hands. Jack came into view gripping his staff tightly and glaring at him. He bent down and examined her newly bruised leg from the breaking and helped her to her feet. He stood on the right of her and put her arm over his shoulder for support. They climbed out of the crater together and turned around to face the guardians running their way. Tooth hugged her and asked if she was alright, Sandy held her hand between his and North put a comforting hand on her shoulder. Lizzie thanked Jack for his help and he gave her his staff as a crutch.
Bunny stirred on the ground and woke. The guardians turned around to face him and they were more than disappointed, they were ashamed with him. A moonbeam shined down on Bunny. North didn't like what that meant and what he was about to do. Everyone knew what it was except Lizzie. He walked up to Bunny and got him on his feet.
"North I'm so-"
"No! No apologies." he interrupted. Bunny stood in front of him afraid.
Lizzie was concerned, she leaned over to Jack. "What's going on?" Jack looked over to her with sad eyes. "Bunny harmed another guardian, he broke The oath he took." He said as he turned his head back to North. Oh no..
"E. Aster Bunnymund, you have harmed another guardian. Therefore you have broken your oath which you promised to keep." He said. He took a deep breath. "It pains me to say this but... I, Nicholas St. North, commander of the guardians of childhood, denounce you of your Guardianship."
Everyone hung their heads low. Bunny wasn't a guardian anymore. He looked absolutely broken.
"No! Wait! North!" Lizzie yelled as she limped over to him. "It's my fault! I brought on the fight! Don't do this!" She begged
"There is nothing we can do little one. It was Man in Moon's decision." He said, they turned back to Bunny.
"I am sorry Bunny." he said. Without a word Bunny grabbed his boomerangs, tapped his foot and disappeared into a hole that closed.
