The nightmares chased Halle out onto the frozen lake. She slipped making herself fall and slid across the ice. She shakily pushed herself up onto her knees feeling blood welling up and out of her body in a slow trickle from the cut in her knee that occurred from her fall. She looked and saw Pitch, the Nightmare King, striding towards her. She clenched her teeth and locked them into a snarl.

"Oh, how harmless you look!" Pitch said laughing as he strode over to her side.

"Get away from me you leech." Halle said directing a glare towards him. "My father will make you pay."

"Your father can do nothing to me tonight child because, you see, it is a new moon. He can see nothing. You were quite clever to have fooled me and the other immortals for so long." Pitch replied. He snapped his fingers and the nightmares charged at Halle.

She screamed in rage and pounded her fists on the ice. The ice broke and she shot underneath and swam down to the bottom. She willed for the water to converge around her and form a tomb. She would reawaken soon when someone found her. She hoped her father could hear the last telepathic message she had the strength to send.

ON THE MOON

Manny received his daughter's message and tried again and again to communicate with her. He stared at the earth and knew what he had to do. He knew he would have to go down to the earth for the first time in a millennia. He quickly gathered his energy and focused on the location of North's Fortress. He felt the long forgotten pull of teleporting and then he closed his eyes as he started the journey to the earth.
