Bunnymund's p.o.v
What is wrong with me? Why am I upset about Jack being hugged by others. I've never minded that in the past. I haven't even told him my feelings towards him yet and still I'm angered about his mother figure hugging him. If it wasn't for mother nature I'm pretty sure Jack wouldn't of survived as long as he has.
The kid deserves a mother figure and as much kindness as possible then some. He sacrificed his life to save his younger sister from an icy grave which despite the cost was noble yet here Jack is several years later with regained lost memories and had saved the world from a precursor of another dark age. I know for a fact Pitch isn't gone but, he sure as heck shouldn't bug us for several years to come.
There has been no activity from his nightmares or himself that we know of though as usual Manny has yet to make himself known again for two years though us older guardians were still a bit bitter we weren't told of Jack sooner despite manny knowing he was out there. Each of us only happened to cross paths with Jack because of him acting out to get any kind of attention.
I myself was probably the cruelest towards him and had been guilty ever sense. He was just learning however I now know there was more to it. Despite him not saying it himself that fateful Easter I now have a feeling I knew why it happened. He's obviously been a target for years for the summer and autumn spirits just for what he brings which is cold and unfortunately death but, each season brings that however summer and winter were the main two.
Just thinking about the summer and autumn spirits killing Jack gave me a feeling of dread. Jack just gained believers, he now had a family he could turn to though he was still weary and I couldn't blame him. Being alone for three hundred years and eternally stuck in a fourteen year old's body as well as not being able to be seen by anyone except other spirits would effect anyone. The brief amount of time I and the others went through not being seen effected us physically and mentally which gave us a glimpse into what Jack went through and honestly it surprised all of us he didn't become another Pitch Black.
It made me relize why I am starting to actually love being around Jack, despite all odds he still remained playful and made other kid's childhood exciting. Some of the ways were a bit unorthodox and risky yet he manages to keep the kids he played with safe. What happened in the past concerning all humans and animals for him was unknown but, he had a excellent understanding on his limits when calm. When he got enraged however his power was nothing I've seen before and it honestly scared me at the time knowing just what he was capable of if he got a full understanding of his limits.
Jack though the youngest was the most powerful among us. There was no denial on that and Pitch knew it. The scumbag clearly wanting to change Jack into someone to be feared and in a way his successor and Jack had every reason to take the offer but, he denied it. His goal was to be seen as someone good instead of something to be feared which was a relief to all of us.
Before Pitch became bad he used to be a renowned asset during the golden age but, when he volunteered to become the warden of the fearlings everything went down hill. During one of his watches the fearlings had managed to convince Pitch to let them out and he had gave in. The minute they were released they had taken residence in Pitch and from there all things good about him had gotten lost and replaced with what he controlled now and that was nightmares.
Just thinking about the nightmare King always opened the internal scarring of failing to protect my kind from their demise. I may look unbreakable and act like nothing bugs me but that would be a lie. Seeing Jack as a pooka had brought all those suppressed memories to the surface. I get Jack didn't understand as he was non existent in the living or spirit world when it happened but, why of all forms did his magic decide the form of a pooka would be best?
It could of been any form but, a pooka form doesn't exactly yell "keep jack hidden till healed" it screams "I'm here come and get me". The white fur would protect him by camoflaging with his element of control but, the blue ear tips and fur markings would give him away. Hopefully Jack stays cautious at least till we guardians or mother nature can deal with the ones that hurt him. He doesn't have a fighting chance right now if he decides to leave. If he does any kind of excessive movement his wounds will reopen however we can't bar him from going outside because he heals best being in his element.
As I was in my thoughts mother nature came out of the room with Jack who was using his staff like a cane to get around. As I looked at him I could tell something was bugging him and relized he seemed weary to approach me. At first it confused me till I remembered how abruptly I had left the room originally. Realizing this I carefully approached before hugging Jack who at first stiffened before he relaxed and hugged back. We have a lot to take care of but, for now comfort and a feeling of safety was the primary focus to help Jack understand he is wanted and loved.
