It had taken an hour to find the apartment with Phoenix's sister. Bunny knocked on the door, and heard shuffling and the lock being undone. "Hello?" she said with her eyes still closed, obviously tired. "Kristeen, it's us," Jack said from behind Bunny. Her eyes shot open, unlike Phoenix, Kristeen's eyes were solid brown, and she didn't have any similar features to Pitch. "Phoenix?"

Bunny hesitated, "Ruby's glint fades," he said softly. A pained look crossed over her face, then absently crossed the room, sat on a bed and hugged her knees to her chest. Her brown eyes watered, "She's really gone?" Bunny nodded, and sat next to her. The little girl threw her arms around his waist and sobbed into his side. The guardians hated to see any child that believed in them in pain.

"Hey kid, it's okay, it'll be okay." Bunny said rubbing her side with his paw. After about 30 minutes, her sobs quieted, and Bunny realized that she had cried herself to sleep. "Sandy," Bunny nodded at the girl as he gently placed her head on the pillow and moved the cover over her.

It had been about two months since Phoenix died, and things were still tense between the guardians. Bunny had to double time just to make it in time for Easter. He had preferred to stay in his home, away from the other guardians, alone. He was still dealing with Phoenix's and Alexa's death. It wasn't easy.

When he had tried to sleep, Pitch taunted him with memories from when Pitch had control over him, and he wouldn't sleep for days. One day about a week after Easter, and one Jack didn't mess up for once, Jack showed up," There's been an emergence meeting," Jack said.

"Go without me, I don't need to be there," he said absently, painting an egg with a fire design. He didn't know why, but after waking up that morning, he felt he HAD to paint an egg with a fire design. "I think you might want to come, it has to do with the man in the moon."

That had gotten his attention. Moving slowly, almost as if he were tired, Bunny got up. "Fine, I'll meet you there," he said setting the egg on the ground, telling it to not paint over itself. Bunny didn't have his boomerangs, or his egg bombs, so he started walking to his 'house' which really was a cave with some stuff in it.

Jack followed Bunny," Didn't I say I would meet you there?" Bunny hadn't faced Jack since he had arrived. He grabbed his stuff, put it on and faced Jack. Jack was surprised at what he saw. Bunny had bags under his eyes, which looked slightly blood shot like he was tired and had cried recently. "Bunny, are you okay? You look like you haven't slept for days, and you haven't talked to anyone unless it regards guardian business."

Bunny simply shook his head and jumped into a rabbit hole running to North's place for the meeting. Jack sighed and flew to North's also. Once they both arrived, everyone was there, and the moon's rays opened the stone slab that told them another guardian was chosen. Usually Bunny would get defensive and say that there wasn't a need for another guardian, but now Bunny was either staring at the stars or the moon, it was hard to tell. Not a word had left his mouth since arriving.

What the guardians didn't know was that the night they had gone to find Phoenix's sister, and the day she had died, was the night a new immortal was brought to life.

Her red streaks had gotten a darker red, and her black hair blacker. The tips made it look as if her hair was on fire, and her bracelet glowed with a new charm. A bird of fire, that once it grew old burst into flames and from the ashes a new baby bird of the same species was born (from Harry Potter I don't remember which movie I only got through the first 3 books.) Her tank top was dark as pitch against the almost completely melted snow, as were her pants. Her ankle boots looked like they were made of onyx (A black stone. I think I spelled it right.) and glowed slightly.

She opened her eyes, and they glowed red, orange, and yellow all at once like a fire, not like a jumble of colors. Your name is Phoenix. A voice rang in her head.

"Phoenix," she said quietly testing out the name.
