Guilty Hands (Jack Frost)

10

,, are you really alright ?"
North handed jack a cup of water which the boy took shakingly taking a couple of sips before the christmas spirit took it back again.

,, I'm ok .." he answered nodding and bunny looked at the half brown hair with merely a few white strains only one of his eyes had kept its crystal blue colour and even it had a dot of brown that seemed to slowly spread in it.

,, where's sandy? Mate's late again "
Bunny crossed his arms while north insisted on jack laying fully down again.

,, patience, he has to work alone every night " she shrugged her shoulders looking at the 2 little Faries with a smile as they nodded at her.

,, he-he doesnt need to come.. I'm ok guys I can fall asleep myself "
North looked a little sceptical at bunny and tooths eyes expressed her worry

Finally bunny walked closer to the bed aswell with a soft sigh. His paw landed on Jack's hand as he looked at how pale yet pink it was but also still so skinny and shaking even in his hold...
Jack truly seemed fragile at this point and it worried bunny that he wasnt sure if jack was even still afraid of the guardians .. of him.

No he hadnt forgotten that he punched the boy that time neither that the others watched as if they didnt care and wanted it aswell.
He wondered if jack was still thinking of it everytime he saw them.

,, try it ... we'll be here If anything should happen " he finallly suggested.

Jack nodded as his hand turned to hold bunnies paw.
,, and we wont leave ya "

Jack blinked at him at first before looking at the others as north took a seat and tooth smiled encouraging at him, he turned to look at bunny one last time before he closed his eyes.

They waited in silence for a few moments as jack was slowly drifting off to sleep, the easter bunny felt the boys gripp losen the deeper he fell asleep and he was relieved jack was able to actually fall asleep on his own. It showed that he trusted the guardians to be there for him.

The soft smile he had however.. faded slowly when his eyes spotted the brown on his few left white strain spread.

There was a whisling wind
Once jack started waking up, frowning when he felt himself freezing again as the wind ruffled through his hair.

He grunted moving as he noticed he was laying on ice.

A gasp was his reaction once he realized it wasnt just an ice cave he had woken up in.

It was his cave .. with his own blood still frozen to the wall.

He started shaking his head in denial, everything that happened couldnt have been ... not real. He paniced tears overfilling his eyes as he looked around

He stood up on shaking legs, realizing he was wearing Winter Socks.
His expression changed once he ecamed all the other clothing that couldve only Been from north.

It hadnt been a dran ist was real.
But why was he back here ?

He Turned to the hole to get out but realized he need his Staff to fly but he still hadnt had it. He fears of asking what happened to it, he feard of even thinking about it.

But without his staff be was stuck and forced to look at the inside of the cave, all the horrors he had lived through all these years. Returning from attempts to take his life. Even the rope had still been hanging there

He thought he would panic but oddly he didnt.

Instead his eyes teard up when he looked at the rope hanging from the ice ceiling where it had been frozen into by him. It was swinging lightly from the wind almost as if it tried to seduce him.
