Here is another Rise of the Guardians fanfiction story from yours truly, BlackDragon157.
And Yes, it is another Bunnymund/OC story because there is not enough fanfictions of Bunnymund/OC's out there and I think he deserves the spotlight for this time.
Once and yet sadly I say this again like last time:
I do not own any characters from Rise of the Guardians, only my own OC, which is Hana.
Well, here we go!
Hope is all I need
Ch.1: Meeting Hana
Darkness.
That's all that Bunny could see. He can still feel his body raving in pain from the assasination from Pitch Black. North told him and the other Guardians that he is back and is seeking revenge on them from what happened thirty years ago.
Bunny doesn't know hwere he is now.
As hard as he could, he managed to flutter his eyes open, his vision blurry at first until everything started to focus.
He was in a room.
He was laying down on the bed, the blackish blue blanket up to his shoulders as he glances around. A shelf of various books covered most of each shelf with varies of novels and drawing books. A desk that had a labtop of some sort, since Jack told him that Jamie had one at first and didn't understand it, and a few sketch books on the desk wide open. There were small statues decorated around the room of various legendary animals.
He winced as he sat up, trying to remember how he woke up here and not the forest. That's where Pitch assasinated him where he wasn't looking. He then saw a mirror that was next to the bed.
His bluesh grey fur shining from the sunlight. He had marks on his forehead that looks like a flower of some sort as the bottom part of cheek was white. He also had markings on his shoulders as if they were tattoos. His bright green eyes was staring at his reflection.
He had bandages wrapped around his chest, his arm, around the top of his head and his right ear. He was confused now. How did he wake up here and not at the forest? And more importantly, who treat his wounds?
Thats when he heard the door open. He turned to see a girl staring at her.
She looked like she was in her teen ages, or proably in her twenties. Her black silky hair fell down to her upper back as her blue-green eyes stared at him. The perfect shade of blue-green as if you were staring at a lake or the ocean on a perfect sunny day without any clouds disturbing the peace. She looked a little pale as she wore a black long-sleeve that matched her dark blue pants.
She then smiled in relief, also in her eyes that had relief in them.
"Oh, good. You're awake. I was a little worried about you with the injuries you had on you." She said as she puts a tray of carrots down, including lettuce and some water in a cup.
Bunny stared at the girl shocked. She still believes? Even she looked like she was consider an adult? He then glances around the room, making the girl laugh. "Hey, it's okay. You're at my house. I managed to get you to my room so that I could treat your wounds. Don't worry, you're safe." She said as she took out a first-aid kit.
She then took out tweezers and some clean bandages. "I'm going to replace the bandages on you, okay?" She asked. Bunny couldn't say anything, so he nodded as he looks the other way.
She unwrapped his arm to reveal a nasty cut that looks like it's healing. "...you were out for at least two days when I found you, I think. That's how long you had these wounds on you." The girl said as she dabbed the wound with a wet cloth to clean up the blood that was around it.
Bunny stared at the girl as she tend his wounds. She saved him; risking her own life if Pitch struck her to save him?
"...Bunny." He suddenly said.
The girl stared at him. "What?" She asked. Bunny sighed. "...tha name's Bunnymund, but me friends call me 'Bunny' fo' short." He said, his thick Australian accent running through him.
The girl smiled as she held her hand out to his. "...the name's Hana. Hana Tsushiyota."
Bunny smiled slightly as he shook his good hand with hers. She then moved onto the wound that was on his chest, also revealing a nasty gash on the middle of his chest. Hana was a little nervous.
"...tell me when it hurts and then I'll stop." She said as she dabbed the wound with the wet cloth. He nearly wince, but he knew that he could handle it. "...you are a rabbit, right?" She suddenly asked.
He cracked one eye open and nodded. She laughed nervously. "Oh, good. I thought you were some experiment that the scientists were working on and you managed to escape a facility somehow." She said.
Bunny chuckled silently at that. Because really, he couldn't blame her for thinking that.
She then gently wrapped the new bandages around his chest and then worked to his forehead. "Is there any problems with your sights or hearing by any chance?" She asked. Bunny hummed as he felt the wet cloth damping the small wound. "Not that I know of, Sheila." He said. Hana smiled in relief.
"Good. Your head looks pretty okay, but I still recommend a few days rest and you'll be fine. The nasty cuts you got are still healing and you sprained your left ankle. But after a few days, you'll be up and hopping again." She said.
Bunny had to chuckle at that. "...yer pretty smart 'bout medical treatment." He said. Hana had to laugh at that. "Well, before my Uncle and Aunt passed away, they taught me how to treat wounds on animals and people so that I could help others in need." She said.
Bunny stared at her, still a question buzzing around his head. This girl is no longer consider a child, but she still believes.
"...Sheila?"
"Yeah?"
He sighed as he turned his head slightly to stare at her. "...do you still believe?" He asked. Hana stared at him confused as she sat on the edge of the bed, giving him the plate of carrots and lettuce. "What do you mean by 'still believe'?" She asked.
Bunny sighed, not knowing how to say this. "I mean...do ya believe in like the Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus an' all that?" He asked. Hana stared at him, but then smiled.
"Yeah...hard to believe, but I do believe in them. My Aunt and Uncle kept telling me stories of them when I was little or have a bad day. So yeah, I do believe in them all." She said. Bunny stared at this girl with surprise.
She's consider an adult and yet she still believes? He sighed as he she stared at him. "Why do you ask?" She said. Bunny knew this was going to be a little difficult to say to her.
"...I didn' tell ya I was the Easter Bunny, didn' I?" He said.
He waited, wanting the laughing or saying 'no way!' to get it over with. But it was silence. He opened one eye to see Hana staring at him shocked. Her gaze then soften.
"Man...my Aunt and Uncle weren't kidding. You look exactly how they described you in the stories they tell me." She said. Bunny cocked his head. She's been bringing up her Aunt and Uncle for some time now.
"Who are yer Aunt 'n Uncle and how do they know me?" He said. Hana then smiled sadly, since she knew he was going to ask that sooner or later.
"...Jamie and Sophie Bennet."
Bunny's eyes were wide with shock. She's Jamie's and Sophie's neice that Jack was blabbering about for months!? Bunny knew that they had a neice since Sophie told him about her, but never expect to run into her now. He then realized how her head was now low. That's when it hit him.
He then gave Hana a soft sqeeze on the shoulder with his good paw. "...sorry if I brought up, must've been hard fo' ya." He said. Hana smiled sadly, a single tear ran down her cheek as she squeezed his paw in return.
"It's okay...you didn't know. Uncle Jamie knew that I shouldn't be mourning of his and Aunt Sophie's death for the rest of my life. I know he wants me to move on." She said. Bunny then smiled softly. She was tougher than what she looks.
He then noticed how no cars were in the driveway. "Where are yer parents?" He asked. Hana sighed as she stared at the window.
"...they're traveling agents. They are mostly gone all the time. They won't be back for a few weeks. But my older brother, Draco, he pops in every now and then to make sure I'm alive and not buried in my artwork." She said, laughing slightly.
"So ya managed ta sneak me in when no one was there?" He asked. Hana glances away. "Well...yes and no...my brother was there when I managed to get you to my house. But I did managed to sneak you upstairs without him noticing me." She said. Bunny had to chuckle at that. "So...how long has it been since yer parents were on the trip...?"
That's when Hana got all quiet now. He noticed how her mood had change, being uncomfortable with the subject, thanks to his animal instincts of sensing people if they are lying or uncomfortable.
"...it's been almost a year." She said.
Bunny felt rage inside of him. You shouldn't leave a child alone that long! Hana watched Bunny, now feeling what he is feeling right now. "But my brother keeps an eye on me when he isn't working!" She said, gesturing her hands in a surrender way. That's when Bunny calmed down slightly, but not enough. "H-He's almost 25 and he knew that mom and dad are traveling agents, so he watches me when they aren't here!" She said.
Okay, Bunny calmed down that time.
"...still, they shouldn' leave ya alone fer that lon', Sheila." He said. Hana glances down. "I was alright...I'm use to it." She said. Bunny just now gave her a look, one eye-brow raised. "Really...'cause it don' soun' like it." He said.
Hana didn't keep eye-contact with him. "Well...you're not me, okay?" She said. Bunny then remember Jack's word when he said that to him a few months back when they had an argument of when Jack went missing for a month and didn't tell anyone.
Hana reminds him of Jack Frost. They are alike and he didn't like that at all. No one deserves to be alone; not even her or Jack Frost. He heaved a sigh and stroked the top of her head.
"Look, Hana...I'm sorry I bugged ya about yer personal life...but I jus' don' like it when parents leave their kid alone and that's not right. Most of the kids I saw..." He paused there, not daring to finish the sentence.
Hana glances down, knowing what the Easter Bunny meant. She pulled her knees to her chest and hugged them. She had thought about those thoughts some time ago when she was a teenager, but she shook them away because she knew that good things will come.
She then felt a furry paw squeezing her shoulder slightly. She turned to see Bunny staring at her, his bright green eyes filled with concern. "I'm fine, Bunny." She said, squeezing his paw in return.
He sighed as he winced at the pain that was hurting on his arm. She sighed. "Try to rest. I'll be back with a pack of ice for your ankle." She said as she stood up and walked out. He sighed as he laid his head back down on the pillow.
He wasn't going anywhere for awhile and there was no way to contact the other Guardians.
He sighed as he closed his eyes, hoping to find some nice decent sleep.
Hana was unsure of what to do as she got the pack of ice for Bunny's ankle. He is the Easter Bunny that her Aunt and Uncle told her in the stories when she was little and when she felt down during high school.
She couldn't believe that she's saw one of the Guardians.
"...and I thought it was just a story." She whispered to herself as she puts some ice in a cloth and wrapped it up gently. She then heard a door open. "Hey, Hana. I'm going to the store to grab some stuff. Want anything while I'm there?" Her brother asked.
Hana smiled. "...if you could pick up some more carrots and lettuce, plus some vanilla tea, that would be good!" She said. Draco laughed. "Alright, I'll be back in the evening. Try not to burn the house down while I'm gone." He chuckled.
Hana playfully glared at him as he left and shook her head.
She then gently took the ice pack upstairs in her room where Bunny was sleeping at. She opened the door slightly to see Bunny fast asleep, his chest rising and falling from his gentle breathing.
Hana sighed silently as she uncovered part of the blanket to reveal Bunny's ankles. So gently, she place the ice on the sprained ankle so it could heal faster. She heard him hiss slightly, but then lets out a huge sigh as he went back to breathing normally.
She smiled sadly as she was about to walk out the door, before hearing the familiar Austrailian accent.
"...I didn't thank you fo' savin' me, didn't I?"
Hana turned to see Bunny staring at her; one eye cracked open slightly. She smiled slightly as she sat on the edge of the bed. "...no, you didn't yet." She said. Bunny smiled slightly, chuckling silently under his breath.
"Well...thank you...fo' savin' me. Ya didn't have ta..." He said. Hana raised one eye brow at him, smirking slightly.
"What did you want me to do? Leave you there? I don't think so." She said. Bunny laughed slightly. Hesitantly, she tried to pet Bunny's head, but pulled back. He knew what she was trying to do.
"...I don' bite." He said. Hana stared at him, but then tried again.
So slowly, she started to stroke the top of Bunny's head. He sighed as he closed his eyes, letting her fingers run through his fur. Hana then remember what Uncle Jamie told her at one time.
Slowly working her way up, she scratched behind his ear and near his cheek. His good foot twitched slightly, but then started to thump rapidly against the matress. He cracked one eye open again.
"...he told ya, didn' he?" He said. Hana laughed as she continue to stroke his fur. "...'fraid so, Bunny." She said. He sighed as she knew his scratching spot. "Get some rest. You deserve it." She said as she pulled her hand away and walked out of the room so he could sleep.
He stared at the door and then sighed as he closed his eyes once more.
It's going to take awhile to heal up, but he somehow wants to protect this girl who had saved him. She needs him. He could sense the loneliness in her heart and she needs hope.
And he was up to the challenge.
