Finding A Place Where We Belong

by Tighterthanflower

Prologue

Bunny didn't know what it was but there was this nagging feeling in the bottom of his stomach, telling him that something was going to happen, maybe even tonight. He was pacing around a small forest in the middle of winter and was shivering, why anyone liked the cold, he never knew.

North had told him that he had tracked one of Pitch's nightmares down to this spot but because it was close to Christmas and the other guardians were busy, Bunny had to do it on his own. He guessed that he just had to consider himself lucky that Pitch or his nightmares hadn't shown up yet.

Over the last few years, Pitch had begun to do more things that the Guardians needed to pay attention to, such as trying and failing to steal Tooth's fairies. Now he was attacking Sandy's dreams with nightmares.

Bunny was getting angrier now, North had sent him out here for bloody nothing! He was about to tap the ground for more of his hole to pop up when he heard, what sounded like footsteps in the snow. He wondered if it could be the nightmare and slowly began to move towards, where the sound was coming from. He was getting nearer and was about to grab the boomerang on his back when he saw who the noise had been coming from.

A small child of about seven with chocolate brown hair was standing in the snow with ragged clothes ripped to shreds, holding a small baby in his arms and he looked at Bunny with a lost and solemn expression. He seemed to be rocking back and forth as if he was about to faint.

Bunny was shocked but began to hop over to the child when he noticed he was shivering. The boy looked like he was about to fall asleep and didn't even notice when Bunny scooped him into his arms. Bunny didn't know what to do, he didn't even know why the child was here, carrying a baby!

Only one thought came into Bunny's mind then and that he was going to have to go North's and summon the rest of the Guardians, so they could work out where on earth this two children had came from. Tapping his foot on the ground, Bunny jumped down and was careful to hold the two children in his arms, the boy hadn't said a word which was strange and Bunny began to make his way to Santoff Clausen.


Coming out into North's workshop, Bunny jumped up and almost startled North who was sitting eating some cookies at his desk. When he saw Bunny, he quickly hid the cookies behind his back and stared at the two children, Bunny was carrying. Bunny put the boy down and he stood on his legs, still rocking back and forth.

"What is going on?" North asked in complete confusion.

"I really have no bloody idea how I'm gonna explain this! North I found these two gumbies wondering around in the cold!" Bunny explained, throwing his arms wildly into the air and shaking his head.

North gave a smile and then laughed at Bunny's distress. "Is no problem Bunny! We find them good home soon! They must be orphans! Or could just ask,"

Bunny rolled his eyes, he did admit that had kind of had been a stupid move but he was not go to tell North, of all people. He knew he would never hear the end of it! The boy was now standing in the corner, still fighting to stay awake and hold the child.

He knew that the boy was going to fall asleep in more than a mere few seconds and could likely drop the baby. Bunny went up to the boy and coaxed the baby into his arms, however the boy's eyes went like saucers. "No! Leave her!" He shouted trying to grab the baby back.

Bunny didn't know what do to do, he stepped away from the small child who started to scream and shout. This got the attention of North, who rose from his desk and went over to the small boy who looked up at him in either fear, delight or both.

"Calm down, Bunny is taking baby so you can sleep," North told the boy, smiling. The boy looked back up at North and slowly nodded. The boy sank to the floor and seemed to collapse from exhaustion, finally going into a restless sleep.

"See is easy Bunny, reassuring child, is easy, no?" North laughed, smirking at Bunny.

"Lay off North, we have a major problem mate. What are we gonna do 'bout this baby and kid?"

"Get other guardians, can come up with something together," He replied, smiling and heading over to the lever. "Also take children into spare room," North added as he pulled down the lever.

Bunny rolled his eyes and picked up the boy and took them into the spare room. He shook his head, what on earth were the guardians letting themselves in for?


Jack slowly came around and he stretched his arms. He couldn't hear his Mom sobbing again which was strange, his Mom always sobbed in the morning. It was then that Jack fully opened his eyes and did not recognize the room he was in.

There was a cot where his sister lay, sleeping soundly next to a white wall. Jack looked down to see, he was lying in a bed with a duvet decorated in candy canes. The floor had a red carpet draped across it and Jack looked at the window to see snow, snow as far as the eye could see. Where was he?

Then everything came back to Jack, Mom had woke him up in the middle of the night, grabbed Emma and she had begun to drive and drive down the roads, twisting and turning and the journey had never seemed to end. Until the car had crashed into a tree. He had tried to wake his Mom up but there had been no movement so Jack had grabbed his sister, Emma and he begun to walk through the snow until he came across a giant bunny, who had brung him here!

Jack needed to thank the Bunny! He had saved them!

Running out of the room, Jack almost stopped in his tracks when he saw four figures looking like they were waiting for him, outside the door. As he got closer, he could not believe his eyes! The tooth fairy? Santa Claus? The Sandman and that must mean the giant bunny, was the Easter Bunny!

Getting closer to the Tooth Fairy, Jack couldn't believe his eyes, she was so pretty and had so many feathers! The Sandman was even as tall as him, he was really small which made Jack laugh until the Tooth Fairy's eyes widened when she caught sight of him.

"North, look at him, why is he still dressed like that! And he is the cutest thing, I have ever seen in my life!" Tooth admired Jack and he smiled, showing his teeth. Tooth's mouth opened and she flew up to Jack, prying her fingers in his mouth. "And his teeth are perfect, where on earth did you find this sweet little thing, Bunny?" Tooth asked, turning to Bunny with her head turned sideways.

Bunny had explained a little bit and began to tell everyone more details about how he had found the kid wondering around in the snow which Jack listened to. He knew he would have to tell his childhood icons everything, he was sure they would understand and perhaps they would be able to wake his Mom up!

"Excuse me, Mr Easter Bunny?" Jack asked, twiddling his fingers and staring at the floor.

Bunny whisked around and raised an eyebrow, "Yes, kid?"

"My name's Jack and my sister is Emma, I was wondering around in the snow because Mom car crashed into a tree," Jack told them and the Guardians facing were shocked. Whatever they had been expecting for Jack, it was certainly not that.

They all seemed to group into a huddle before finally agreeing on something and Tooth flew up to Jack, taking his hand.

"Why don't we go get your sister Jack, Bunny is going to look for your Mom and bring her back here, she will likely be tired and ill so how about you and Emma spend a couple of days with me and the guardians, how does that sound?" Tooth asked, sweetly with a smile.

Jack smiled and nodded, letting Tooth lead him out of the room. Little did he know that his Mom's car crash would change everything.
