Hello my readers, to those that have read my recent story; Paul's Baby Sister; I apologize for not updating a chapter in a while but I am running low on ideas for it, would love to hear feedback on ideas. But I have recently become obsessed with Rise of the Guardians, so without further ado, I present Crystal Heart.

"Ugh! those wretched Guardians!" Pitch Black exclaims causing the large bird like cages that hung from the ceiling of his lair to shake, "AZALEA!"

A young girl, laying in one of the cages, slowly wakes up, pushing herself up into a sitting position. "Yes?" her once beautiful strawberry blond hair was now matted and dirty as it fell over her dull eyes

Pitch floats up to her cage and opened it, extending a pale grey hand to her, "Come."

Azalea is instantly filled with fear, the same fear she has been trying to overcome for over a century, "W-what are you going to do to me?" her voice was scratchy from screaming at the nightmares that haunt her at night

He smiles, to anyone else that would seem like a sincere smile, but Azalea knew that it wasn't anything close to that, "It is time for you to be of use to me." dark demon like horses appear behind him, "You are going up to the surface. You must gain their trust and exploit their weakness's and in return...I will set you free."

Azalea gasps as her mind falls into a memory:

"No matter what you have to do," her mother gasps as her life life slowly drains out of her, "No matter the cost...Y-you Must gain your freedom. Promise me my little flower.."

Azalea opens her pirate-gold eyes, determined to keep her mothers last wish, she nods at Pitch, "I'll do it."

Without another word, she's thrown onto the back of one of the horses, it rears than charges up to the surface.
