New Guardian (ON HOLD)

Chapter 7

What really happened to Bunny, as I promised, will be explained in this part. And, Phoenix's and Kristeen's father will be revealed. BATTLE! Sorry, I'm hyper :( well, read, follow enjoy! I'm stopping the recaps because they take to long :/ maybe every 5 chapters.

Phoenix had shocked everyone, especially Bunny and Pitch.

As Bunny had moved to tie her hands and legs together, she had suddenly grabbed the back if his neck and kissed him. Everyone's jaw dropped. Just as suddenly as she had kissed him she, still holding his neck, with all of her strength, flung him away from her. Bunny hit a nearby tree, making him groan, and his eyes started to fade from golden-yellow to a blue. He still wasn't controlling his actions, but he could at least think, unlike before it was just black.

Phoenix took off toward the apartment where Kristeen was. She flung the door open, making Kristeen jump, "Kristeen, I the Easter Bunny, Jack, Santa, Sandman, or the Tooth fairy come here, don't go with them unless they tell you Ruby, okay, that's the codeword, Ruby. I'll be back!" Phoenix yelled closing the door and running toward where a battle, guardians vs. Pitch and Bunny. The guardians were careful not to hurt Bunny too bad.

A group of Nightmares (they look like horses) had surrounded Jack, and the Nightmares had the numbers. (Goes to First person P.O.V) I whistled and got the Nightmares' attention. The leader of the group came and slowly and human like, bowed. At that point I was confused, and then there was stinging in my arm. I felt the energy start to drain out of me, and the Nightmare nudged me expectantly. Unsure of what the horse wanted, I lifted my hand and it nudged it, like a sign that it wanted to be pet.

Hesitantly, I ran a hand through it's mane and it whinnied happily. Everyone froze and watched.

The guardians studied her for a minute and then Jack realized something. 'Collecting what's mine', 'I need her alive', the anger on his face when she kissed Bunny, and how he suggested that she stop fighting to not get hurt. He was about to say something when Bunny got knocked into another tree, but this time his eye color went back to its normal green. "Craky, what happened," he groaned standing. He saw Phoenix and looked at the guardians," What month is it?"

"Almost February," North said. "Fe- February! It was only December when I-" Bunny shot around, "YOU! What you do to me! WHERE AM I? AND HOW DID I GET HERE!?" He was panicking, that much was clear. Pitch grinned," So it does work," he commented to himself. "Why you-" Bunny started, no one noticed Phoenix moving closer to Bunny, knowing something bad would happen. He reached for one of his boomerangs when Pitch made a shadow arrow, like the one he used when he killed Sandy (Watch the movie again if you don't understand how he killed Sandy but he's alive later), and shot as he disappeared.

"NO!" Phoenix yelled, she cared for the guardians very much despite what he may want her to think, and just above a whisper as she collapsed to the ground, taking the hit instead of Bunny," dad."

"Da- Dad?!" everyone but Jack gasped. How long she knew, they didn't know. Bunny crouched down to her level, seeing that the hit was beyond healing, gently lifted her onto his knee. "You didn't have to do that," he said quietly.

"Yes- yes I did." She gasped quietly, knowing and felling that she had little time. "You and the guardians helped Kristeen, find her please. Find Kristeen, please, and tell her Ruby's glint fades. She'll know what it means." Blood slowly ran down her back and onto the melting snow. She looked desperate, "Please." The glint in her eyes was fading. Seeing them up close for the first time, Bunnymund noticed how the iris's of her eyes seemed to be different with the way the light hit them. They could be red one second and a light blue the next. " Okay mate, I got it. I promise."

She nodded slightly before she closed her eyes and slowly went limp. The guardians felt heavy hearted. They had found and gotten back Bunny, but it had cost the life of another. The Nightmare whinnied sadly, nudging her slightly, before looking up at North. Instead of the orange-yellow eyes like the other Nightmares, this one had blue. It looked at North and nudged his hand.

Hesitant, like Phoenix, he pet the Nightmare. Which later on he learned that by do doing so he had earned its trust. Bunny looked like he was going to kill something, then said," Let's go find her sister."
