CHAPTER 1

"Welcome to the School of Nightmares!" Pitch Black said into the microphone.

"This prestigious school is for the children of my lieutenants and commanders to learn how to use the powers I will give them. I welcome to the stage, Lieutenant Song, and my right hand man."

Lieutenant Song stood up from his seat and walked towards the stage. He was in his early 50's, with grey and brown hair. He was tall, 6'1 and wore a grey shirt with a collar and a pocket the left side of his chest, black pants and shiny black dress shoes.

"I am glad this school is finally happening. We will teach the students how to use the power of the dark sand and they can wield the power of the nightmares. My own daughter is going to be attending this great school and she will do the best to make her family proud."

I had to stand up so everyone could see me. I had long brown hair, stopping at my tail bone, fair skin and bright green eyes. I wore a black T-shirt with the sign of Pitch Black. An hour glass with the number 7 at the bottom, representing the seven deadly sins. Lust, sloth, greed, gluttony, pride, wrath and envy. My pants were black also. If some people looked at me, it would seem like I am trying to sink into the shadows. I walked up to the stage and created a nightmare while I talked.

"We kids will lean everything we need to know on how to take down the Guardians. We will dominate and destroy everything in our path to help Pitch Black rein again."

Everyone in the stadium was screaming in anticipation for the moment I let the nightmare go. It ran around everybody until it came to the very back row. No-one noticed him but me and when our eyes locked, he ran away. So I did the reasonable thing. I chased after him, but my father stopped me. "Where are you going, Treyson?"

"I saw a kid run off and I want to recruit him because he looked like he could be powerful."

I had to quickly make an excuse for running off the stage at the pace I was going. He let me go and look for the boy. I was searching for a while until I heard a snapping of branches a few meters away.
Then I saw him.
He looked about 17 but I could tell he was older than that. He had short, white spikey hair and a blue hoodie with old brown trousers. What made me wonder who he was, was the fact he wasn't wearing any shoes! He held a staff in his hands like he was about to attack someone with it. I made my nightmare disappear, which I didn't even know I created it. He was watching me closely, ready to attack but I put my hands up in defeat.

"Okay, you got me. I don't want any trouble because not many people can see you, right?"

He was startled. I bet he wasn't expecting someone to talk to him, especially a 17 year old girl.

"Don't worry, I won't tell Pitch you're here. You can trust me fully." I said to him, but he was looking like he was scared.

"But you're working with Pitch Black, so I don't trust you at all. You'd probably rat me in and get me captured, but my friends will get me out soon enough. You must be mortal, and since you are talking to me I'm guessing you believe in me." This was getting annoying. I could hear my father calling out my name and if I didn't come, then there would be a severe punishment.

"I've got to go before my dad beats me again for being gone for so long, but tell North that he can tell Treyson the plan. And Jack Frost, don't worry, I'm a friend."

CHAPTER 2

I was in my dormitory room when I was called to the pole. Everyone else in my room was asleep. Lucy Marble to my left, Adele Fitzgerald to my right and at the foot of my bed was my pet duck, Moro, asleep and snoring. Lucy was a short-tempered 13 year old and level 5 in assassination already. Only 1 more level and she would be a master. She had blonde hair with her bangs streaked green and she was quite skinny. Adele was 19 and was a master at weapons. She taught the students how to use the dagger and a staff properly. She had dyed her fire red hair hair to platinum blonde. Adele was a little over-weight but she was fast and knows what to do with opponents faster than her. They both had a long and busy day today so they wouldn't be woken up for a while. I used my special shadows to teleport to the pole. They weren't black but a nice dark purple colour. I came out of the other side of the shadows to see 5 people looking at the shadow with confusion etched on their face.

"Hey everyone. I'm back from school." I said with my cheery voice. I heard North sigh with relief.

"Treyson, you scared me half to death. Please don't do that again, it makes us think that Pitch has come back." North said with a shudder.
