North landed the sleigh so roughly that the reindeer ran off
"Ah, moi deti! Come back!" He called weakly
"North are you okay?" Tooth asked him
"Is official. My powers are kaput" he replied
"Look" tooth gasped as Jack landed on the road

"Jack!" I called happily stumbling out the sleigh to get to him
"Jack!" I smiled up at him as he offered me a hand up
"Are you okay?" He asked
"Yeah" I said pushing hair behind my ear as Tooth landed too and I held her up
"What are you doing here?" North asked using his sword as a walking stick
"Same as you" Jack replied and looked behind him to see Jamie come running out
"The last light" north said

"Wow. It is you! I mean, if is you" Jamie said happily shaking Norths hand "I knew it wasn't a dream" The boy looked back at Jack and smiled up at him
"Jack, he sees you" I said happily
I smiled as Jack nudged the kid gently
"Wait. But where's Bunny?" He asked us

"Losing Easter toon it's toll on all of us. Bunny most of all" north said and we all looked to see a mini Bunny hop out the sleigh
"That's the Easter Bunny?" Jamie laughed walking over
"Now somebody sees me! Where were you about an hour ago, mate?" Bunny asked
I smiled at how cute he looked as I leaned onto Jack. Who quickly wrapped an arm around my waist to hold me up
"I got ya" he said softly "thanks" I looked up at him, my orange eyes locking on his icey blue ones
"What happened to him? He used to be huge and cool. And now he's....cute" Jamie said and scratching bunny behind the ear who bounced his foot happily who then hit Jamie away
"Did you tell him to say that? That's it! Let's go! Me and you! Come on!" Bunny bounced over and squared Jack up
"No. Actually, he told me you were real. Just when I started to think that maybe you weren't" Jamie interrupted
"He made you believe? In me?" Bunny asked softly
My eyes softened at the scene as I looked at the cute version of Bunny looking thankful at Jack

Bunny gasped at the strike of lightning, we all looked up to see Pitch astride a cloud of nightmares. Jack gently let go of my side after he put a quick layer of coldness over my still hurting side
"Get Jamie out of here" Jack said as he jumped into the sky
"Be careful Jack" north called

"Let's go be this shall we!" I heard pitch call as we ran with Jamie. Bunny was leading, which probably wasn't the best of ideas
I was grunting as we ran heavily dependent on my wand stick.
"This way, this way. Ahhh dead end. Other way, other way!" Bunny shouted
And we went the other way.
"Jack!" I called when Jack landed hard on a bin and fell to the ground

Jamie helped him up
"That was good try, Jack. 'A' for effort" north encouraged him
"He's stronger. I can't beat him" Jack said in pain
North looked at Tooth and the two looked at me
"I can't. I'm too weak" I said sadly

"Aw!" Pitch's voice circled us with lightning
"All this fuss over one little boy, and still he refuses to stop believing. Very well. There are other ways to snuff out a light" he said and popped a lights nearby
We all backed up into the corner, protecting Jamie. I stood behind the boy, protecting from the back.
"If you want him, you're gonna have to go through me" bunny called out jumping forward
"Look how fluffy you are. Would you like a scratch behind the ears?" pitch's hand searched the rabbit
Bunny jumped into Norths hand
"Don't you even think about it" bunny threatened

"I can't tell you how happy it makes me to see you all likes this. You look awful" pitch said as his horses closed in on us. With him on one of them
I pointed my wand stick at him, ready to fight till I literally couldn't anymore. To protect the last child, the last hope and joy

"Jack. I'm scared" Jamie said terrified
Jack looked at the boy and knelt down to his level. He seemed to remember something
"We're gonna have a little fun instead. That's it! That's my centre" Jack muttered before he looked at the now confused boy
