《Believe》Losing Hope
Advertisement
After Jack left with Sophie, Claire and the others went up top to get ready for Easter. They were safely hiding behind some bushes, Claire was yawning, because she did not get any sleep.
"Get some sleep, Claire, you some rest." Tooth said to the tired looking girl.
Claire shook her head. "I need to stay up for Easter." She said while rubbing her eyes. She then finds herself pulled into Bunny's chest as he lays his back against a tree. "Bunny?"
Bunny looked at her with a serious look. "Sleep Shiela, we will wake you up, when the kids come. Alright?"
Claire though for a moment, if she were to fall asleep she would have more energy to have fun.
"Fine, make sure you wait me up, Please." Claire said while snuggling into Bunny's chest fur making him blush a little.
"We will Shiela, we will" Bunny's voice was the last thing Claire heard before she fell sleep.
Claire opened her eyes to the sunlight shining on her. She stood up and stretched her limbs, looked around and laugh softly. The others had fell asleep. Bunny was in the same positioned he was in when he held while she slept in his arms. North was curled up on the ground while sucking his thumb, and Tooth was sleeping on her stomach with her head resting on her arms. Claire looked out from behind the bushes and sees kids. She began to smile and was about to step out and join them, when one kid said something that made Claire freeze her movement and her heart to stop beating.
"There aren't any eggs." A boy said.
"There aren't any here." another added.
Claire ran towards Bunny and began to wake him and the others. "Everybody, wake up!" Her scream woke them up.

"Geez Shiela, a bunny is going to need his beauty sleep." Bunny said while rubbing his eyes, and standing up. When he looked at Claire to ask why she woke them up. Finds himself looking a pale and panicking looking Claire. "Shiela, what is the matter?" He asked worriedly while he and the others walked over to her while getting rid of the remaining sleep out of their bodies.
"The eggs, they're not here!" Claire said yelling as she grabbed his paw and led him and the others towards the bushes. After they all reached the bushes, Claire let got of Bunny's hand, and pointed at the kids. "Look!"
Bunny and the others looked, and looks of terror were on their faces.
"I give up." A girl stated.
"He didn't come."
"I don't understand," Their tiny voices blurred together.
"Maybe he just hid them really well this year." A girl on a picnic table suggested.
Bunny hopped out and then scampered across the grass. "Kids!, Oi!"
A boy gave up. "I checked everywhere." He reported. "There's nothing."
"Yes, there is!, There is!" Bunny called out right in front of them. He held out an egg. "I mean, these aren't my goodies, but they'll do in a pinch. This one here isn't bad."
"I can't believe it." The girl said, hopping off the table.
"Eh, I know." Bunny looked down sadly at the eggs in his basket.
"There's no such thing as the Easter Bunny." The girl said, depressingly.
Claire's heart completely sank. "What?" Her voice was barely a whisper.
"What?" Bunny cleared his ears.
The children began walking out of the park. Bunny stood in front of them in complete shock. "No!, Wrong!, Not-Not true. I'm right in front of ya, mate." A boy passed through as if he were vapor and continued down path. Bunny had a look of horror on his face.

"They don't see me." Bunny's shoulders and ears dropped. "They don't see me."
"Bunny!" Claire ran out of the bushes along with the others, towards Bunny. When she got to him, Claire took hold of his shoulders and shook him, while she began to cry "Bunny?, Bunny!"
Bunny looked at her with a look that she never wanted to see on the brave bunny she loves. The look of helplessness. "They don't believe in me anymore, Shiela." He began to cry making Claire cry more. "I don't know what to believe in anymore."
Claire grabbed him in and massive hug. "You got me!, I still believe in you with all my heart!. You will have it for as long as I am with you!" She began to sob in his chest as he began to sob in her shoulder.
Claire saw Jack with North, carefully letting go of Bunny, she ran to Jack. "Jack!, I am so-" Claire froze when she saw what is in his hand. "Jack?, W-Where did you get that?" She asked shakily while pointing at it. Tooth came over and spotted it too.
"I was... It's..." Jack stumbled over his words.
"Where's Baby Tooth?" Jack did not say anything. Claire began to back away while everybody but Jack was staring confused at her. "Oh, Jack, what have you done?" She said in horror. The others whipped their heads over to Jack.
"That is why you weren't here?" North asked. "You were with Pitch?"
"No, listen, listen... I'm sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen," Jack attempted to explain.
Claire fell to her knees and stared at Jack in disbelief.
"He has to go" Bunny hoped over and knelt by Claire to comfort her while giving Jack a death glare.
"We should never have trusted you!" Bunny appeared heartbroken and angry because he went like he was about to Jack, before he stopped himself at the last second. "Easter is new beginnings, new life." He explained. "Easter's about hope." He groaned. "And now its gone." His green reflected pain and his ears dropped as Claire began to cry in her hands.
Jack looked at North and Tooth who turned they're backs on him. Seeing as nobody wants him around, he flew off in a big gust of wind.
