Rise of the Guardians 2

Chapter 49

"What has happened to you" Toothiana asked harshly. Her gaze was on Bunny, and she seemed...worried for him. "She has corrupted you" She turned to me, her eyes burning with rage, witch was very out of character for Tooth(Unless you forgot to brush your teeth after eating all of North's treats)

"No Tooth, she freed me" Bunny said firmly "Pitch corrupted me, you, North and Sandy-"

"I must free you" She muttered and her eyes seemed to glow brighter. "Kill her" She hissed at her fairies and they came for us, each bearing a tiny blade.

"Breeze, run" Bunny whispered urgently "Grab your staff and go"

"But-"

"Now is not the time to argue. For once in your life listen to me. You need to rekindle belief in the kids. They're the only ones who can stop Pitch. Give...Give them the hope I couldn't"

"Bunny..."

"GO NOW!" The fairies had reached us, and stabbed at me with their tiny blades. I blindly pushed through the swarm swatting at them. I heard Bunny yell and then it turned into a snarl. Toothiana had turned him dark again.

I blindly tripped over something, in my rush to escape the fairies. It was a long chest and it could only be holding one thing. I scrambled over to and wrenched at the lid. It was stuck tight. Frantically I tried any means I could to open the chest, before the two dark guardians came over. And then an idea struck me. A desperate and last resort, but there was no other way.

"Hey grey ears" I called. Bunny snarled at me. "Yep that's what I thought." I smirked "All brawn and no brain. 'Course that's not much different from before. It's no wonder that Jack and I could fool you all the time with your tiny brain"

Bunny was snorting and breathing hard; he looked livid "You...Dare..."

"It's not really daring" I said "I mean... Tooth, Sandy, even North is so much scarier than you. Even before you changed North was still superior to you. Everyone knows that Christmas is much better than Easter."

He charged at me, screaming and foaming at the mouth. I had never seen him this angry before. Fortunately it suited my purposes. I stepped out of the way of the charging pooka. He slammed into the wall sandwiching the chest in between him and the stone wall. I heard wood splinter and the chest shattered.

He turned and charged at me again. I spun and dodged him, and slid under the fairy that was now chasing me at well. I felt a sting on my arm and knew that I was being chased by the mini tooth's as well.

I grabbed my staff from the remnants of the chest and shot up into the air. I had no idea where to go, since Bunny had been my guide. I chose a smaller corridor, flew into it and set fire to the entrance. The shadowy shapes of the Fairies and Bunny halted but the fire wouldn't last forever.

I took off running down the narrow corridor. The ceiling was too low for me to be able to fly, so I would have rely on my legs. My breathing grew ragged and a painful stitch in my side begged me to stop.

My legs did give out eventually and I tripped and fell into the last person I wanted to see.
