Rise of the New Guardians (Currently Editing)

Do you believe in the Boogey Man?

Jack frowned and stopped as he sniffed the air and rose an eyebrow "C-carrots ?", Julia sat up and blinked as she started to smell it too. Bella got up but stood there and stared at the maroon blinds in Julia's room and frowned. Rachel got up and huffed, she slowly stepped towards the curtains and grabbed the string and yanked them up, revealing none other than the- "EASTER BUNNY!" the girls cried in unison.

Jack groaned and went over to open the window and let the shocked bunny rabbit in, "Kangaroo, what are you doing here ?!" Bunny sighed, " I'm a bloody Rabbit," he said to the boy and looked at the girls. " Who are the- are they looking at me?" He asked thinking, 'how could they see him, they're teenagers!' Bella stared at him and gaped, Rachel stared in awe at the gigantic bunny actually standing in the room, his ears just barely touching the ceiling. Julia, on the other hand, was smiling and reaching out to touch his fur with wide happy eyes, Bunny eyed every girl until they rested on the girl reaching out.

Jack smirked and nodded. "Yeah, they somehow believe,-" he looked to Bella. "Although that little snowflake had to get some encouraging and convincing," he smiled and winked at Bella who blushed and smiled.

Bunny nodded and kept staring at Julia softly and letting her reach out, Julia tilted her head and finally got her fingers to run through the rabbit's fur. " You're so soft -" she smiled and trailed her fingers up and down his arm and felt the warmth naturally radiating off of him. Bunny slightly smiled and chuckled " Thank you-", "Julia." she smiled and looked up at him into his soft green grass eyes. "Julia." He smiled and sounded the name out in his head, he nodded.

Jack sighed. "So why are you here?", Jack asked and looked at Bunny for the answer. Bunny suddenly got serious and frowned. " The globe lights were going out Jack, -" Jack frowned, "So few kids are believing,-" Bunny stopped him with a paw. " A lot of lights going out, and that only means one thing", Jack widened his eyes slightly "Pitch Black".

Right then and there, a gust of wind blew through through the open window and a loud dark chuckle emitted from the air into the room and around us. Bunny frowned and got his weapons out but stopped at the sound of Julia's room door opening and her little sister Miranda coming through little pristine tears running down her cheeks. Miranda cried and ran to Rachel who was the closest girl there. Rachel frowned and picked her up swiftly and held her closely "Miranda what's wrong ?!" she asked concerned, Miranda shed more little tears and clung tightly onto the blonde's flannel shirt. "D-dark m-man," she slightly whimpered and buried her head into the blonde's shoulder.

Julia frowned and slightly hid behind Bunny while looking at her sister, "W-what the hell is going on ?!" Jack frowned and held Bella's wrist softly, "We need to leave now!", Bella frowned and held her hand up against the wind coming through the window. Bunny moved Julia away from the window and glared waiting for something. Rachel kept her eyes on the window as she held Miranda and let out a shaky breath as her hair whipped around from the wind.

The room suddenly began to get darker as the light bulb in the fan above everyone shattered and the room went completely dark with only the light from the moon shining through. Bunny ducked with Julia under him as she let out a yelp, Jack and Bella did the same as he did his best to cover her, Rachel yelped as a piece sliced her cheek and held Miranda close to shield her from the shards of glass scattering around the room.

They all breathed heavy and could only hear Miranda's quiet crying, everyone held their breaths and froze as they heard a dark chuckle around the room with shadows everywhere.

Bunny and Jack's eyes widened and they looked up to see a silhouette in front of the window, the only thing that stood out was the figures piercing amber eyes. The girls didn't have to look up to know the figure was a dangerous man, and he gave a malicious smirk to the girls.
