Hey, guys, so sorry that I haven't been updating lately. Been balancing friends/family/school/work/and fanfics. I've had to do a bit of research on LEMONs. There will be a lemon coming up. I'll give you guys a warning so you can avoid it. Also, my stupid computer didn't remember that I wrote down that Holly is the Guardian of Fear, so now you know. She is the Guardian of Fear and Curiosity. Ok, so here we go.
"P-Pitch Black?" Holly repeated, slowly lowering her swords. "Where have I heard that name before?" "You should know me. I'm your worst nightmare." Pitch replied with a smirk. Holly took a minute to look at his gray skin and yellow glowing eyes. His spiky hair was slicked back and his hands with folded behind him. 'I've heard of him before, but where? Did dad tell me a story about him once?' Holly wondered.
"Wait, how did you know my name?" Holly asked the man. "Well, I know a lot about people. I know their greatest fear, their name, and who their family members are." He stated with a slight British accent. "I just can't seem to find your fear though." He said, stepping back to look at her better. "Well, you won't find my fear. I'm the Guardian of Fear. I spread it, not fear it." Holly shrugged. "Well, that's interesting. Anyways, I have to go spread some fear of my own. Care to join me?" Pitch asked with his hand outstretched for her. Holly was reaching out to take it when someone yelled her name.
"HOLLY! Get away from him!" Jack yelled. He ran over and pushed Holly away. "You stay away from her, Pitch." Jack threatened with his staff raised. "DAD! Leave him be! He wasn't hurting anybody! Besides, I'm 18. I can take care of myself." Holly retorted. Pitch was shocked that she was standing up for him. Jack was in shock. "Get back to the Pole, Holly." Jack ordered through gritted teeth. Holly looked up at Pitch and shrugged. She grabbed a Jack-'O-Lantern and opened a portal. After she had walked through, Jack turned back to Pitch. "I did nothing!" Pitch started. "She was walking through my woods, in my town. I just came out here and met her, that's all." Jack just glared at him.
"I don't care if you did anything or not! Stay away from my daughter." Jack threw back (ha, that rhymes) as he flew off. As Jack flew away, Pitch mumbled to himself with a sly smile, "Telling me to stay away only wants me to show up more." Pitch turned and mounted one of the nightmares and flew to the Pole, to wait outside Holly's bedroom window.
"Yes, dad. I'll stay away from him," Holly agreed, annoyed. "I'm going to my room." She stated, nodding 'goodbye' to the other Guardians. She entered her room to see a little nightmare curled up on her bed. "W-what are you doing here?" She alarmingly whispered to the mare. There was a note laying on her nightstand. It read:
'Dear Holly,
I am sorry that our first meeting was cut short due to your father. I would like to give you this NightMare as a pet of sorts. A peace offering, perhaps. See you in your nightmares,
Pitch.'
I know, it's short, but I promise to start working (and maybe upload) on Chapter five. I haven't given up on it yet! I have a 'game plan' for how it will all play out so bear with me. KEEP THE REVIEWS COMING! The reviews are how I gauge whether or not what I have planned should go in or wait for a bit.
