Sorry I haven't posted in a while guys :/ Been super busy and now I'm on work experice :3 Anyways here's chapter... 7 ... I think... enjoy ^^
The panic at the theme park really helped build up my strength and power. Actually, I was stronger. So many shadows have rejoined me again, at least double Krheel's. I think it was about time to confront him. To get rid of him out of my life. Out of our life I correct myself looking down at Jacks hand clasped with mine. I'll leave without Jack. He'll be safer here, so I'll leave later when his attention isn't fully on me. Maybe when him and North are discussing about the upcoming Christmas Eve. Right now, I'm just enjoying this moment with Jack, sitting by the window and the setting sun and rising moon lighting up the little area we were in. The colour the two separate contrasting objects made was a beautiful silver orange that seemed to make our skin glow and sparkle. It really outlined the individual frost particles on Jacks hoodie and how some would sink into the fabric lines and grooves. I'm glad the window ledge was like a seat. It enabled me and Jack to lean with each other, fit together, wrap our arms around each other, basking in the moonlight. Ironic that the moon was my worst enemy, yet when he was there, it's the time I was made to come out. I can't escape from him. No matter how much he wanted me gone. It daunts on me at times. I hug Jack tightly, and his hands comfort and caress my cheeks. I think the guardians have started to grow accustom to seeing me and Jack together and entwined in a casual day. Don't get me wrong, I couldn't care less if they didn't like it. Me and Jack were happy, that's what mattered. But it's still nice to know that even Bunny was starting to accept us. I lean my head lightly on jacks, my nose and mouth buried slightly in his hair. I could smell the gorgeous scent of him, of when you wake up on a winter morning with the smell of the cold and frost. I think there was even a slight tint of cinnamon there too. This moment seemed to prefect for what's happened in recent events. This upcoming and inevitable battle between me and Krheel will decide the fate of my future, the Guardians and especially Jacks too I suppose, weather I'll be beside them all or not. I gradually begin to realize that during these thoughts, and that it could be my last moment with Jack, I've starting hugging him tighter and holding him closer.
"Pitch? Are you ok?" Jacks asks, obviously sensing my nervousness.
"I'm fine." I nod, loosing my grip. I can see Tooth approaching us by flitting past Norths globe.
"Jack, North would like to see you in his office." She smiles. Jack nods and, after sharing a parting kiss with me, takes to the stairs. Tooth sits next to me as I straighten up.
"You two are going strong?" She questions, a warm smile on her face.
"Yes. I'm a changed person because of that spirit." I smile, watching Jack fly up to the floor that involves the office.
"I'm glad to hear that. Its nice to see you two in a relationship. You suit each other perfectly." She tells me, placing a hand on my shoulder. Then, she stands and leaves me to attend to the baby tooths. My opinions on the Guardians have changed greatly and their views on me probably have too. I don't really want to lose them, but if this battle doesn't go in my favor, I get the feeling that Krheel will use me somehow that I get to see them before I die... But that's not going to happen. I need to win for Jack. I guess now is the only chance I'm going to get. Shadows curl and twist around me and I begin my travel down the hallway. I slip past yetis and elves and exit the North Pole workshop. Using the shadows once again, swiftly, travel to my lair. My lair that was taken from me and is being deprived from my shadows. The thought of neglect going toward the lost nightmares and many rooms without my presence. I might be the King of Nightmares, the boogeyman man, but I'm not a pig.
It still felt strange to me, approaching my lair and not seeing the abandoned bed there anymore. Unwanted memories from the feeling of not being believed in are now securely locked away in my head and I don't intend to unlock the padlock anytime soon.
"You're a long way from safety." That disgusting voice snarls from within the shadows.
"I want you out of my lair and away from my life!" I order, clenching my fists. A few stray nightmares join my growing army, sensing their masters presence again.
"What do you aim to achieve from this Pitch? A fight? A sense of achievement? A chance to show off to your lover and former enemies?" Krheel continues to stream bullshit and taunts.
"Knowing that Jack and the Guardians are safe from a dickhead!" I growl. I scan around, looking for the figure. I send a few horses to scan the walls.
"Now now, no need to get aggressive. Anyway, speaking of the snowflake, where is he? Your pet got lost?" He cackles, still cowering in the shadows.
"Leave him out of this! He's safe with the Guardians!" I exclaim, protectively and shouting at he air.
"You're sure about that?" Krheel questions, emerging from the shadows. I look over to him, glare at him. However, my stomach drops when I see the Guardians wrapped with the shadows, trapped in their grasp. Everyone except Jack! Khreel continues to step forward... Pulling Jack with him. Khreels hand is down Jacks trousers, stroking slightly, and his other hand has his fingers gripping inside Jacks mouth on his teeth. Jacks face killed me inside. The worry, pain and pure look that was practically pleading for help. I gather nightmare sand in my hands in anguish and prepare to throw it at the monstrosity. However, he pulls Jack in front of him and grips his crotch harder. Jack cries out in pain and his legs buckle, yet Krheel continues to hold him up.
"I don't think you really want to throw that." My enemy chuckles, watching as the sand slips out of my hand and each grain disintegrating into the dark.
"Me, on the other hand, couldn't care less if your pathetic pet gets hurt." Khreel grins menacingly. Shadows begin to wrap around Jack as Khreel moves away. Slowly the shadows shift around him and he begins to scream in agony. I take a step forward, feeling powerless over this situation.
"You have about ten minuets before your lover will die a painful death of blood loss." Khreel taunts, "kill me before then and you might be able to save him." He finishes. Almost instantly, I raid my hands to my sides, sending nightmare horses dashing along walls, through cracks and into different rooms. I head toward the Guardians and try to pry the shadows off but that results into Jacks screaming increasing in volume. It was becoming ears plotting and unbearable for me to hear.
"Oh, I should've mentioned, try to help the Guardians escape and I'll kill Jack here and now, but in the most painful way I can think of." Khreels voices warns. Bastard! I pull away from the Guardians. I hear a nightmare horse whinny and I drag my eyes to its direction. It rears up and I see Khreels eyes pierce through the darkness he has become shrouded in. Before, slipping back into the shadows again, I feel the pain of the nightmare horses death as it falls to the floor, Kreels nightmares embedding in the sand. I quickly use the shadows to get me to the certain locate and grip Khreels thin clothing. Yanking him out of the shadows, I throw him of the ledge were perched on. He falls to the floor and lands on his chest. Forming a now and arrow in my hands, I aim it at his head, pull it back and fire. Shit, it's hit his shoulder instead. He cries out in agony, put continues to get up and begins to stumble toward the Guardians. I aim again and this time hit him in his legs calf. Letting the bow and arrow disintegrate, I slip back into the shades and appear infront of the fallen fragment of myself. He is crawling helplessly toward me, gripping the ends of my robe.
"Pathetic." I sneer, looking down at him and my lips curling in disgust. I form a spear in my hands, ready to pierce it through his chest, when he interrupts.
"One problem Pitch." Khreel smirks. I begin to feel and warm liquid trickle from my shoulder and leg. Pulling the fabrics from my shoulder, I see my crimson blood trickle from a large open wound.
"Kill me and you are basically killing yourself. I'm still apart of you." He laughs pained. The words and breath are caught in my throat. If I kill him, I lose my life and Jack loses me, if I don't kill him, I lose Jack and the Guardians. I glance and the four guardians, and hear the agonised tears from jack. It doesn't take long for my mind to be made up. I raise the spear above my head and thrust it down in Khreel. I feel it pierce his skin and muscle. He falls still instantly and the shadows holding Jack and the guardians disperse. I see Jack collapse to the floor, unmoving. I attempt to rush to him, but the pain in my chest causes my knees to buckle. Why did we always hurt?! I try to use the shadows to help me stay upright, but it doesn't work. I fall onto my lairs cold and colourless floor. I'm forced to crawl, desperate to get to my lover. However, I cannot get too far as my strength runs out and I'm forced to lie still, gasping for air. The guardians running to mine and Jacks aid is the last thing I can see, whilst Jacks unmoving and blurred figure is barely visible.
