Copyright and that with me not owning stuff, except this character and extra stuff I add. I forgot to mention earlier that this probably will take place after the defeat of Pitch Black by a few years.
Right now the rating will be T. I shall consider changing it to M just so I can have freedom later, but I'll decide on that then.
Hey, for those of you following, I know it has been a while since I've last updated. My father passed and so I haven't worked on the story. However I am now able to focus and shall be working on the story!
It is dark, quite dark. There isn't much else other than dark. But there are snippets of sound. I think it is Tooth and Bunny yelling at North. All I know is that my jaw and stomach hurt, a lot. It got dark again quickly. This happened multiple times, it was terrible.
I can't tell how long I was out before, during, or after each successive time of consciousness. It took until night time before I could finally see again. I got moved to a couch, probably not by North though. I thought North was over that fiasco years ago, but I guess not. Man in the Moon was shining in the window; it was pretty obvious that he didn't expect this to happen either. It was rather interesting, seeing Man take a bit of interest in my health.
Sandy was near the window, playing with strands of hand with great care, Toothiana was outside, still delegating some duties out to her fairies, and Bunny had eggs coming and going through two separate tunnels. North was back in his workshop, but the door was cracked this time.
"Alright," I sighed, sitting up. "Where's North he..." It was obvious, and I collapsed back down on the couch. I was far too dehydrated, and dizzy, to make any sudden movements. My voice startled the Guardians that much was obvious. Tooth rushed to my side, worried and spouting something about chewing North a new one. A yeti soon brought over a glass of water as everyone made sure that I was alright, and wasn't going to fall again.
North eventually came out and leaned against his door frame. Both his naughty and nice tattoos were showing from his rolled up sleeves and there was a clear expression of unhappiness on his face. "You're lucky that Man in Moon sent for you, I would never want you back here." North muttered.
"North..." Tooth sighed.
"C'mon, North. It's been years, forty in fact, since the last time you two talked." Bunny tried to continue, but I held up a hand to stop him.
"No, no. Bunnymund, it's alright. He went through a tough time and I was a catalyst for it. It's been thirty seven long years for him. I was hoping that he'd be farther along by now. But being mostly immortal has its issues, a heart takes a while to heal for a human... it must be wretched for one of us." I almost allowed my face to betray my feelings on this matter, but I drank some water instead.
I couldn't look at North, but I knew he was about to cry, and kill me at the same time. I hit the nail on the head, and we all knew it. "Look, I understand completely, except for two things: A) Why am I here? and B) Where's Jack? It's not like you guys to call in another spirit if not needed, especially if every one of you isn't here, and especially not me. I had to decline, remember?"
I had to bring the past up here; it's the only way to actually talk about it. "You would bring your own manipulation of Man in Moon." North's disgust at me was apparent.
"You were there; I'm not getting into this North, not with you like this. Please, someone just answer my questions." It was a very matter-of-fact tone and straight faced. I will not relive that moment now.
Sandy stepped up right away, and some symbols quickly appeared. "'A plus B equals C' Alright, clearly the reason of why I'm here and Jack are connected. Where are we going with this?" My anger was rising, again. North's place never was that jolly after the run in before.
Tooth was clearly out of her element, with all of this hatred in the room it scared her. It scared me too, it really did. This could get very ugly in a short time. "Jack clearly has..." She muttered before falling back to the side.
"Listen now, I hate to bring this up. Again. Here. But what do you do and what is the only reason we ever tend to call you for?" Bunnymund has a simple way of putting things. He doesn't do anything that complicates things.
"Wait, you can't mean?" I stammer out. I can't go through this again.
"You mean to tell me that in my years and years of existence that this has happened twice in the span of forty years?"
"Yes, and now you get to destroy another comrade. I hope you delight in the havoc you wreak upon us." North's words cut deep.
"Where is he and with who?" I demanded, turning away so that they couldn't see my face.
"Burgess. Jamie. He's the subject of love." Tooth chimed in.
"I guess I'm going to break more of my namesake." The tension in my voice was solid and unerring, but without it I would have to break down in front of them. I turned and let out my wings in the same motion. I jumped towards the globe and flew off through the ceiling. Luckily, I don't think any of them noticed my face.
Or worse…
the tears.
I just love this movie! This is kind of them part 2 to C 1. I knew I had to wrap u bit sooner as I expected the death, but then it happened and I couldn't work on the second half. So, that was effectively part 2 of C 1, review/comment if you'd like. I think it would definitely help my writing now and in the future!
