Pitch?
A guardian?
Pitch didn't know what offended him more, that a new villain was planning to beat the guardians when he hadn't managed to or that Mim had the audassity to dare make friends with him in such a way! A guardian! I ruin your life and leave you for 500+ years and now what you to protect the Earth with me! What? Pitch was mad at both. Mother Nature? Wreck the Earth children's lives! Pitch had given her a lovely childhood! How dare she ruin everyone else's! Only Pitch had the right to do that!
And the guardians what do they think?
Pitch turned and looked at them, still looking as if he were going to explode. Now he had to work with the guardians! How dare Mim expect him to work with the rest of the miserable children protectors!? How dare he!? As Pitch looked at their expressions he was less that blown away. They were obviously speechless! Their minds can't get over things very fast! Pitch decided he'd be the first to rage his feelings out to the world.
"How dare Mim choose me as a guardian?!" Pitch yelled looking at the rest of them as if it were partly their fault. "How dare he?! I refuse to work with the likes of you joy spreaders! This is an outrage!" Pitch stopped and panted. That felt good. But soon enough he could feel more rage. "And my daughter! How could she dare try to beat me at my own game! The gaul! Why would she want to anyway? She always had a positively lovely life! I made it so myself!" Pitch spat at the guardians, mouths still wide with speechlessness like a bunch of idiots! Pitch looked at each one. "Did you do this? OF COURSE YOU DIDN'T! MIM! I HATE YOU! YOU WILL WISH YOU WERE NEVER BORN! I WILL DESTROY YOU! YOU WILL RUE THE DAY YOU NAMED ME A GUARDIAN!" Pitch stopped and panted, he couldn't find anymore rage and now became another speechless idiot.
North was beside himself, all he could think was: Pitch? A guardian? Mim, you are funny! Good joke! Then North figured that Mim was not joking. Wha? Pitch! You made us to keep him at bay not work with him! Although all the ranting Pitch was doing made North feel like he was coping rather well with the situation. North had the temptation to just walk away, he didn't feel like it happened.
But it did.
But how? Why?
North looked up at Mim slowly, then at Pitch.
"Mim, you just killed yourself..." North said quietly as if cursing under his breath, which he might do when he finally realizes what just actually happened.
"INDEED HE DID! I made that quite obvious!" Pitched howled. North looked at him in slight disbelief. Then his head turned to Tooth, Bunny, Sandy and Frost while listening to Pitch cursing at Mim in the back round.
"Did you see that?" North whispered to them. They nodded slowly wishing that they didn't see that.
Tooth was so so so confused. Why would Mim make his own enemy his trusted helper? Tooth trusted Mim with all her heart, but why would he do such a thing? She just couldn't figure it out! He was out of his mind! Although, she was more concerned about what Pitch felt about this. Pitch had made it obvious. She decided to leave him cursing like the short tempered freak he was and decided she was going back to her palace to tell her fairies.
"Guys?" She said quietly and slowly.
"WHAT?!" Pitch yelled. The guardians she was actually talking to stared at him.
"I'm gonna go home, see you guys later, right?" Tooth finished. The rest of the guardians, discarding Pitch, nodded. Then tooth fluttered away, but Sandy grabbed her foot and signalled her to stay, she needed to.
Pitch is a crazed maniac, thought Bunny. Why would Mim do this? Bunny was confused. More than he liked to be. He tutted at Pitch's constant cursing and turned to Frost. Frost shrugged, then sighed and held his chin in his hand. He was also wondering why the heck Mim would do such a thing, he's been alone too long. Jack wasn't going as crazy as Pitch...at all, he was doubting that Pitch would ever be a guardian anyway, so figured why stress? It won't progress anywhere. Jack just smirked and sat on his staff while Bunny stood firmly with his arms crossed.
Sandy was smiling up at Pitch, as if he saw opportunity in what was happening and understood Mim's decision totally. This scared Pitch.
After Pitch had finished with being speechless, he sighed, turned to Sandy and gestured him to come closer. Sandy hovered over to Pitch and Pitch kneeled down to his level. They looked each other in the eye as they were of the same spirit type.
"Is this to be?" Pitch asked Sandy, knowing Sandy knew far more than the rest of them.
Sandy smiled thoughtfully at Pitch and nodded slowly. Pitch needn't smile back, he just sighed nervously.
He stood up and looked at the Guardians sadly and frightened. He shivered nervously. Darn it, he thought. He was showing his weakness and centre: Fear.
"Pitch" North started soothingly. "We know this will not be easy for you, and we will not rush you into anything. Take as long as needed to get your head around things, you need to feel ready."
"I..I..I'm not one of you...I will NEVER BE ONE OF YOU! EVER!" Pitch yelled terrified, stumbling backwards slightly, trying to find something to lean on.
"Pitch" Tooth said calmly, firmly and soothingly. She fluttered over to him and stroked his chin and softly wiped her thumb across his cheek in an effort to calm him down. After about three seconds he pushed her away. Pitch gave in and sunk to the floor, huddling and rocking himself. He was crying through his nose, snuffling and snotting like a child.
Tooth went over and patted him on the back softly, but firmly in that reassuring way. Sandy went over and was so bold as to stroke his fingers through Pitch's hair calmingly. North came over and rubbed Pitch's hunched back firmly and Jack sat and patted Pitch's back once; Frost knew what it was like to be ignored and to feel hated by Mim for a long time and then chosen by him to be a guardian. But Pitch had it far worse than Jack and no matter how much he exaggerated his and degraded Pitch's, Pitch would always've had it worse. Bunny stood by Pitch and knew that Pitch was almost as strong as himself with controlling feelings and not letting them get the better of him and Bunny respected that. Pitch must be so sad and confused; he'd never let his feelings show. Even now he was only snuffling.
"Pitch," Bunny started, feeling awkward looking down but avoiding face contact with Pitch. "It'll be OK, you'll be fine, mate."
Pitch stopped, looked up at Bunny.
"You do care." Pitch said simply and gave Bunny a kind look but not quite a smile, Bunny nodded. "You're alright, rabbit."
Bunny looked at him, knowing Pitch was the second strongest being in the universe at controlling his human feelings. "You ain't bad ya'self."
The rest of the guardians stared at each other, mouths wide, Sandy smiled.
