The faint giggling of children could be heard, it was muffled due to the noises being on the surface, while he paced his lair underground in darkness. It taunted him. Their happiness. Their...joy...it was purely disgusting.

Damn guardians, Pitch bitterly thought. It had been at least a decade since he had last seen daylight, since he last seen them. Yet he remembered that awful day very, very clearly. Oh how he loathed them and their wonder, memories, dreams, hope andfun.

He cursed them, but his attention was brought again to the surface. Where scuffling could be heard as well as dirt being lifted from children running, and again that faint but obvious sound of giggling could be heard. Pitch scoffed at their fun. Being reminded of a certain winter sprite.

That sprite caused everything he had planned for years to go down hill. He had planned everything so well. He just didn't predict a sprite to come and destroy everything! The worst of it was the final battle between himself and the guardians, it was then his nightmares turned on him. He shivered at the memories of endless nights of screaming and black sand that resulted from said night. But thankfully he regained power over them it only took seven years. Seven bloody years. He may have lived for centuries but it wouldn't erase the fact that he was tortured by his own mistakes for so long. And for that he wouldn't forgive the Guardians and certainly not Jack Frost.

That damn Jack Frost. He should have killed the boy when he had the chance, Pitch spat. During those years Pitch grew to hate Jack Frost immensely. Wishing the boy death on many occasions.

Sometimes he wished Jack had never been...

Born...

Pitch slowed in his pacing. The nightmares stilled watching their King. Pitch's golden eyes glowed at the thought. What if Jack had never been born? His plans would have worked back then. The Guardians would have had nothing to fight him with! It was then Pitch stopped completely and a razor sharp smirk spread across his face.

The past. He needed to change the past! And only one man came to mind when it came to the past.

Father Time.

An old friend of Pitch's, since the golden ages. The old fool was eccentric and quirky in a lot of ways but he loved to stir drama up. And knowing Time, he would defiantly help him out if it stirred up drama. The man was normally always preaching about destiny but loved it when things didn't go to plan. Unfortunately it had been a good century since Pitch last saw him. But thankfully time truly didn't matter to Father Time. After all he literally was the embodiment of time.

Pitch smirked at his own genius. Wondering at the possibilities of what he could do. If he reversed time he could do a few things, like stop Jack becoming a guardian or even kill him. But Pitch wanted to get back at everyone not just Jack. He wanted to watch the Guardians and Man in Moon suffer. It was then his earlier notion came to mind.

Born.

Pitch stroked his chin in thought as he looked at his dark globe. What if he reversed time for Jack not the world and make him a child. Then he could raise him! Pitch started laughing, he couldn't even begin to imagine everyone's reaction when they found a new and improved Jack Frost!

Jack would be raised by him and he would become his Prince. His Darkling Prince. Oh how devastated MiM and the Guardians would be! It would practically torture them! Pitch grinned feeling ever so pleased with the idea of torturing the Guardians, and called his nightmares to stay in the lair.

"Unfortunately my pets, I must depart for I have a plan that will allow us to be in power once again and get back at those miserable guardians!" Pitch snickered in evil joy, his nightmares got excited with Pitch's joy. They started running around in excitement, bumping each other and screeching in delight. Pitch shushed them and stroked the biggest mare.

He started laughing harder, more maniacally. As he walked towards a dark tunnel with his hands behind his back.
