Drabble: Deleted Scene
Mar. 16th, 2013 09:21 pmFandom: Rise of the Guardians
Pairing: None
Prompt: Deleted scene
“Jack—how did you do that?”
Jack struggled to open his eyes, to move, anything but he didn’t have the energy. It took the last bit of what he did have to reply to Tooth’s question. “I—I don’t know…” And then he knew no more until he woke in a bed in North’s palace.

Tooth and Bunnymund shared a look over Jack’s unconscious form. If Jack could defeat Pitch… they needed him. When the sleigh landed Tooth and Bunnymund took Jack, one arm over each of their shoulders and North took his staff. He ordered the yetis to have milk and cookies ready for when Jack woke as he led them to a room with a bed.
They deposited Jack on the bed and he immediately rolled over onto his side, shivering. North picked up a blanket at the foot of the bed and spread it over him. He didn’t want to make Jack very warm but for the spirit of ice and snow to be shivering…he needed some warming up.
“Should one of us stay?” Tooth asked, hovering nervously over the bed.
“He’ll be fine,” Bunnymund said. “Just needs some rest.”
“Bunny is right, we leave him to rest,” North agreed. Quietly they left the room. On the way out North told one of the yetis to alert him when Jack woke. In the meantime they would honor Sandy.

“No!” Jack’s chest heaved as he shot up into a sitting position. The blanket North had spread over him fell and gathered at his waist. His fingers curled in the colorful fabric as tears gathered in his eyes. “Sandy…” One tear fell and then two, followed by another and another, finally a sob tore its way out of him. “I’m so sorry… I—I wasn’t strong enough…”
