Bunny: Oi, it's alright, shiela. They fergive ya.

Me: Thanks, Bunny. Without further adiou (hope I spelled that right lol) the next chapter! Also, feel free to hate Pitch.

Pitch: WHY MUST YOU ALWAYS BRING ME INTO THIS!?

Bunny: Cause it's fun. Enjoy, mates.

…

It's been three weeks. Three weeks since I was taken to…wherever I am now. I didn't even know where I was being kept, for god's sake! It was a nice guest room, sure, but it didn't have any windows and the only time the door opened was when I was brought food by some sort of Yeti that hung around here. Every time that freaky rabbit tried to come in, I would hide under the bed, screaming for it to just leave me alone.

Today, I was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling when I heard something come into the room. Panicking, I tried to hide under the blankets, but was quickly pulled into a furry embrace.

"Why ya avoidin' me, shiela?" a smooth Aussie voice cooed in my ear. I shuddered, squirming.

"Let. Me. Go. I want nothing to do with you, please!" I cried. Aster shushed me softly, nuzzling his nose into my neck.

"Aww, yer adorable when ya cry, but ya really shouldn't. Ah'm here, yer safe. Long as ya stay wit' me." He said before leaving suddenly.

"Bloody idiot, goes and kidnaps me, then just leaves…" I muttered angrily, slamming my fist against the barricaded door- only to have it open.

"That's…..a first." I said, hesitantly peeking out into the hallway.

"Nobody here… I'm outta here!" I said, running through the hallways, trying to find a way out. There was a soft, almost whispering sound behind me before suddenly I was hanging upside-down by a thick, black rope.

"So you're the one the rabbit's taken a liking to? Hmm, I have to say, you're not very impressive." A British-accented voice said. I was spun around to meet a pair of yellow eyes and sharp teeth.

"Who the fuck are you?" I growled angrily.

"Why, I'm the Boogeyman, my dear. Master of all Fear. What brings a young girl such as yourself to the North pole, I wonder?"

"Wait, that's where I am?!"

"You've got some spunk in you, my dear. But I can also sense your fear…of the rabbit? Interesting…how much more fear would you have if you couldn't escape his clutches, I wonder…?"

"What the bloody hell are you talking about?" I said, voice cracking with the fear I'd tried to hold back.

Without warning, he pulled a syringe from his robes and before I could yell out, he plunged it into my arm, injecting me with a black liquid. I felt myself shrinking and my clothes getting bigger until I fell to the floor, covered by them. I heard the familiar sound of a hole opening up in the ground and shouts, but I couldn't find my way out of the mess of my clothes around me.

Suddenly, I felt myself being lifted up by a paw as large as my body. I was lifted up and met Aster's emerald gaze.

"Shiela?! What'd he do t'ya?" he cooed softly.

"I-I don't know…" I hiccupped, hugging his paw tightly as I cried.
