A/N sorry this chapter is so short, been having an annoying writers block. So hopefully when I can write again my next chapter will be longer.
Chapter 2
As midnight drew closer Fay's happiness died down with every passing second. Having changed back to her normal cloths and everyone out of their costumes except for Jack she sat on her tire swing watching him and Bunny go at it again. Munching on some of the candy she got she looked up at the starry sky to see something headed her way. Looking at everyone, now playing in a foot of snow she ran into the house quickly and grabbed the map to Pitches lair off of the kitchen table. Walking back out the door she made sure that she wasn't seen leaving the yard. Seeing a nightmare horse about a foot or so away from the house she walked over to it. Climbing on its back she said, "Take me to Pitch now."
Without much hesitation the horse began to run fast. Taking a quick glance behind her she was glad that no one saw her disappear into the shadows. Being in the center of The Nightmare Kings lair she looked around hearing footsteps and shouting coming closer. Turning around to face the sound someone bumped into her. Getting knocked over Fay felt cold and dark eyes stair at her. Ignoring them she stood up and helped the girl that bumped into her up as well. "Well, well, well I thought that I told you to come, alone baby girl" Making a three hundred and sixty-five turn she tried to pinpoint where Pitch was at.
Crossing her arms she yelled into one of the many shadows, "How many times do I have to tell you not to call me that? I am not and never will be your baby girl. Now give me back Midnight." "If you want him back so badly come and get him." Pitch said laughing. As he laughed his nightmare creations showed up. "Names, Vanessa sorry about running into you. Since I want to get my necklace back and you want whoever Midnight is, do you want to team up with me? I'm just asking because I can't defeat Pitch on my own." "Midnight is my baby boy and I don't need no help form you especially if you're a guardian."
Staring at the creatures in front of her Fay punched a few clearing a path so she could get through. Leaving Vanessa behind to find for herself she went looking for Midnight. Tuning out every noise around her she listened carefully for her baby boy. Stopping for a moment she unfolded her map to see witch tunnels were dead ends and witch ones were not. Seeing a shadow move out of the corner of her right eye she quickly refolded the map and ran after it. Running into a deadened she punched the wall and ran out of the tunnel. Reaching the opening she hung a left hoping that the next tunnel she took wasn't a dead end. Listening closely for Midnight she heard Pitch's maniacal laughter.
Fallowing the laughter she ran into a small opening that had one cage in it hanging from the tall ceiling. Trying to see if anything was in it she felt hands on her shoulders. Not moving she glared at the far wall. Knowing it was Pitch behind her, she said, "If you wanted to talk with your baby girl so bad why did you kidnap little Midnight? I made sure I came alone." very coldly. Turning around to face him she came to face emptiness. Looking back up at the cage she jumped as high as she could. Grabbing the cage bars she pulled herself up to see what was in it. Letting go of the bars she landed on her feet quickly running out of the room whistling to see if Midnight would answer back.
Getting nothing, but echoing she ran back to the center of the lair. Seeing Pitch and Vanessa arguing quietly walking behind Pitch she got down on her hands and kicked his legs out from underneath him. Quickly standing up and getting out of the way he fell backwards onto the ground. Sitting on top of Pitch's stomach she looked at Vanessa. Making sure that he didn't go anywhere she softly sang "This is Halloween".
Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn't you like to see something strange?
Come with us and you will see
This, our town of Halloween
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Pumpkins scream in the dead of night
This is Halloween, everybody make a scene
Trick or treat till the neighbors gonna die of fright
It's our town, everybody scream
In this town of Halloween
I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red
I am the one hiding under yours stairs
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song
In this town, don't we love it now?
Everybody's waiting for the next surprise
Round that corner, man hiding in the trash can
Something's waiting now to pounce, and how you'll...
Scream! This is Halloween
Red 'n' black, slimy green
Aren't you scared?
Well, that's just fine
Say it once, say it twice
Take a chance and roll the dice
Ride with the moon in the dead of night
"How can you be singing at a moment like this? I still haven't fount my necklace and if I'm not mistaken you haven't found Midnight either." Getting irritated at the loudmouth she looked at Pitch's left hand seeing something shiny. Pulling it out of his tight grip she showed the object to Vanessa. Grabbing the neckless Vanessa left without saying another word. Smiling as she left Fay started to sing again.
Everybody scream, everybody scream
In our town of Halloween!
I am the clown with the tear-away face
Here in a flash and gone without a trace
I am the "who" when you call, "Who's there?"
I am the wind blowing through your hair
I am the shadow on the moon at night
Filling your dreams to the brim with fright
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
Halloween! Halloween!
Tender lumplings everywhere
Life's no fun without a good scare
That's our job, but we're not mean
In our town of Halloween
In this town
Don't we love it now?
Everybody's waiting for the next surprise
Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back
And scream like a banshee
Make you jump out of your skin
This is Halloween, everyone scream
Wont' ya please make way for a very special guy
Our man jack is King of the Pumpkin patch
Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King now!
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song
La la la la-la la
Getting up she started to sing the same song over again waiting for Pitch to wake up. Walking around the room she felt a cold chill run up her spine. Looking at pitch she saw that he was still out cold. Walking to the globe in the center of the room she saw some of the many light flicker. Looking closely at where they were at she said, "It can't be." "Oh yes it can sweetie. All I had to do was tell Midnight that if he didn't do what I tell him to do I'd kill you." Turning around quickly Fay punched Pitch as hard as she could. Knocking him back a few feet she punched him again this time making him hit the wall.
Going for a third punch her arm got stopped. Turning around to see who was behind her she twisted her captured arm in the process. Glaring at Bunny she yelled, "Let me go now! I have to go after my baby boy, he thinks that I..." Turning her head to face Pitch again, but he wasn't there anymore. Getting her arm out of Bunny's tight grip she ran out of the lair and to Midnight. Noticing the other Guardians and the irritating Vanessa waiting outside she pushed everyone to the side running faster. Quickly looking back at them she yelled, "I know where my baby is, I got to get to him before he causes any harm."
Getting lifted up into the air she looked at Jack with his sweet smile on his face. Slightly blushing she looked away from him trying to think about where Midnight was again. Finally remembering now that her thought about how cute Jack was faded away she flew/floated to her destination. Stoping dead in her flight she saw her baby scaring little kids. Having the wind drop her she ran over to him whistling sweetly. Getting stared at by Midnight she sung,
This is what I brought you this you can keep,
This is what I brought you may forget me.
I promise to depart just promise one thing,
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
This is what I brought you this you can keep,
This is what I brought you may forget me.
I promise you my heart just promise to sing,
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
This is what I thought,
I thought you need me,
This is what I thought so think me naïve,
I promise you a heart you'd promise to keep,
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
Watching him transform back to his little size she ran over and caught the little guy before he could hit the ground. Somewhat smiling she looked around at all of the little kids still scared. Going to hug one of them she had to force herself to back up since they still couldn't see her. Hugging her little one close she started to walk in the direction that she came from. "Mama will never let Pitch get ahold of you again. He will pay dearly for what he has done." Turning to look at the kids one last time she let out a small sigh glad that they were having fun again.
Getting ready to turn back around she bumped into someone. Quickly regaining her balance she made sure that her baby wasn't hurt. Smiling she kissed the top of his head and laid him on her left shoulder. Looking at the person she bumped into her smile faded. "Why is the Grim Reaper doing here? If your after Midnight, your going to have to go through me." "Hold your horses little one. I'm not after you or your little bat. My name is Thanatos, but most..." Quickly punching him in the gut Fay walked off steaming with anger.

Finally reaching home without anyone stopping her Fay sat down on her tire swing. Bearly swinging she picked Midnight up off of her shoulder and rubbed his back softly. "Why did I have to punch the Grim Reaper in the gut. He said he wasn't after us so why did I, and why did he look so much like Pitch?" "I really hate to amit it, but he is my younger brother." Quickly looking up from Midnight she saw Thanatos in front of her. Stopping the swing she debated weather or not to attack. Still angry she decided to let him explain why he was here.
Seeing that she wasn't going to attack him like when they first met he took off his hood. "Before you punch me again let me explain a few things. All I wanted to say was..." "Get away you bastard, Fay will never join your side." Immediately knowing who it was Fay stuck her arm to stop Tooth in her tracks. Wishing for the first time in years that she was alone Fay got off of her tire swing and walked into her house. Not caring if those two started a fight she slowly walked to her bedroom. Yawning she looked down at her baby boy and saw that he was already fast asleep. Walking into her room she sat Midnight down on one of her many pillows. Then she fell face first into her bed falling asleep where she lie.

Waking up a few hours later still in the same spot Fay turned over on her back. Hearing a knock on her door she yelled, "WHO IS IT AND WHAT DO YOU WANT?" covering Midnights ears. Not getting an answer Fay got up off of her bed crossing her arms in announce. Reaching the door she looked through the peep hole. Seeing Pitch on the other side she backed away from the door. Quickly running to her room to make sure Midnight was still in his spot. Seeing that he was still on his pillow she she covered him up with a sheet to make sure he was hidden.
Hearing another knock on the door she walked back out of her room. This time opening the door she said, "I thought that I told you to never come to my house?" "The only reason why I'm here is because my brother never showed up. So I figured that you have seen him around." "Why would you think that I have saw him. I didn't even know that you had a bother. If you could excuse me I have things to do." Walking back inside Fay slammed the door in Pitch's face. Not getting to far there came a knocking on her door yet again. Ignoring it she walked back to her room.
Lying face first on her bed she screamed into the many blankets. Rolling over she sat up starring at the far wall. Still trying to ignore the knocking, it kept getting louder and louder. Not being able to stand it she got a set of ear plugs out of her nightstand. Putting them in she lied back down. Closing her eyes she tried desperately to fall back to sleep. Not getting what she wanted she stood up, and started to clean her house. Felling a dark presence in the house Fay just ignored it thinking that it was just Pitch trying to scare her.
Walking into the kitchen she grabbed a sucker from one of her many candy bowls. Going to unwrap it she felt a hand on her shoulder. Turning around she saw Thanatos with a huge frown on his face. "For the past ten minutes I have been knocking on the door. Why didn't you answer it?" Being able to read lips Fay said, "because I thought it was Pitch still trying to bug me. He has done a good job on getting me angry lately." "If I may ask, what had he done?" "Well he..." Felling another presence in the house she ran quickly to her room taking the ear plugs out of her ears.
Stopping dead in her tracks she glared at the almighty Cupid. Crossing her arms she leaned on the door frame waiting for Cupid to say why he was there or for him to leave. Not getting what she wanted Fay started to sing On My Own, knowing that he would leave hearing that song. Still not getting what she wanted she finally said, "what do you want Cupid? Is this about me making fun of your daughter Vanessa?" "No it's just the opposite sweetie. It's about your little friend in the other room. Keep a sharp eye on him for Midnights sake. That's all I can say. Talk to you later." Mentally killing him over and over she watched as he flew away on his tiny little wings.
Sitting on the edge of her bed she stared at her reflection in the mirror across the room. Filling a movement by her right hand she looked down to see that Midnight was trying to snuggle. Smiling she lifted him up and sat him in her lap. "Um, Fay is it ok if I come in? I heard voices, is everything ok?" "Sure you can just don't mess with anything. Yeah everything is fine, I was just talking to myself." "I thought that I heard Cupid. Guess it was just my imagination. Why did my brother make you so angry?" "First of all he is a no good selfish jerk.
Second, why do you want to know? All you have to do is ask him yourself." Standing up Fay walked out of her room getting fallowed by Thanatos. Rolling her eyes she opened the door saying, "Don't let the boot kick you on the way out." Slamming the door she went back to cleaning the house with Midnights help. Getting a tad bit bored of the silence she started to sing again. About two hours you could finally see the kitchen and living room floor. Sitting down on the clutch she admired her handy work. Hearing a knock on the door she opened it not really caring who it was. Seeing a little girl walk in front of her she stayed completely still.
Standing up she walked out of the door seeing more kids playing in the yard. Walking up to one of them she so wished that they could see her. Looking up at the evening sky she started walking having no destination in mind. Humming to herself she watched Midnight fly in happy little circles.
