Chapter 7: Pitch Black
In the disappointment of not finding the ultimate power to make the universe his for decades, he destroyed the small village of Arendelle. Residents ran for their lives, confused about the sudden uproar in the village - splitting up families and leaving some there to die. The inhabitants of the Arendelle castle had been long gone but as a famous landmark, he burned it down to show the residents of this village that Arendelle was no more. His fury had blinded him, making him destroy plenty of villages in hopes of finding the crystal and it was only a matter of time until the guardians caught up to him. Often lurking back to the village to see if any commoners dared to come back, Pitch awaited in the shadows near the end of the castle - hoping that someone would direct him to the crystal. Why Pitch awaited in Arendelle? It was the only village that seemed off the grid to the Guardians and it was the only place he could stay until his final attack. That was, until now.
"Jack." He heard a small, delicate female voice said. He turned around in the shadows, trying to get a glimpse of the young girl who said his arch enemy name. He looked to see a young girl standing in front of the "Welcome to Arendelle" sign while the infamous Jack Frost floated next to her, "Another believer, eh?" Pitch said, quietly to himself. She looked up at Jack with shock in her eyes, "I don't understand. If it was a destroyed village, it wouldn't be on the map. I made sure I enchanted that map to update every couple of months." Jack nodded then said something that Pitch was ineligible to hear but then he saw a floating platform underneath her feet. Pitch growled, "So the frost bat got stronger." He watched as the two floated into the village and stopped short of the castle, the young girl hesitated and then looked on the ground. "Curses." Pitch whispered as she pointed towards the ground. Jack gritted his teeth and Pitch looked on with an eerie smile. Soon, Jack lifted the girl into the air and made his way towards the pole. Pitch had finally figured out a way to bring Jack down and that girl, she held the key to his undoing. He snickered as he watched the young girl snuggle herself into his arms, loneliness and envy always controlled him. His envy towards Jack was great, the way how he was accept and now, he had found love or what Pitch thought was love.
"I don't even know her name." Pitch said, "It doesn't matter, a mortal and a guardian can't be together. All I have to do is...kill her." Pitch said with no remorse. After all, the world would soon be his and yet, the guardians have no idea what is going to him them. He doubted that they knew what he wanted but he knew that the guardians would learn of his returns. He looked up towards the moon and sang, "I'm back." Before he disappeared into the shadows of the now burned down castle.
