Vals POV:

All the gaurdians stared at me in shock. "What? No, that's crazy!" Bunnymund yelled "I-I mean not like your crazy Val, just that, well, y'know, how could Pitch take away our powers?" Bunnymund quickly said when I shot him a evil glare.

I shrugged "I dont know, but what I do know is that it is true" I told them. North stood up abruptly and started marching up and down in front of the fire, muttering to himself quietly. I shot a puzzled look at Sandy, and Sandy formed a picture of a person thinking above his head, then made the person thinking look like North, indicating that North was thinking.

I nodded and jumped violently when North suddenly let out a shout of triumph and spun round to face us. "Listen! I have plan!" North exclaimed "we go to Pitch castle, sneak around and find out plan! Eh?" North explained.

Tooth, Sandy, Jack and Bunnymund looked at each other uncertainly, but I stepped forward determinably "I'm in" I said.

"What? No! It's way too dangerous Val!" Jack said worry flashing in his eyes. "Well, do you have a better plan?" I asked, and after a few moments Jack shook his head. North grinned at the idea of a adventure "Let's go!"

-1 HOUR LATER-

"Are we there yet?" Tooth asked North.

We were in Norths sleigh, and had been traveling for ages to get to Pitch's castle, which is somewhere in Antartica under a bed in a abandoned shack.

"Yes!" North replied and the sleigh immediately dipped down violently, making Bunnymund yelp. After we landed I handed Bunnymund a cube of sugar "here eat this, it makes you feel better" I told Bunnymund, who smiled weakly in gratitude.

We hopped out the sleigh and made our way to a ancient, run-down shack that was half-buried in snow. North had to slam his big, hefty body against the door to made it open, and we all crowded into the musty shack.

There was just one flea-bitten bed in the corner with springs falling our the damp bedding. North grabbed and threw the bed to the side and revealed a massive hole in the floor.

North hesitated, looked back at us and then jumped down the hole. We all followed him and we all fell in a big pile in a missive throne-room facing a black throne that had barbed wire and broken glass on the top of it. The throne-room also was in a dark, depressing grey colour that had 7 corridors leading away from it.

We all looked at each other uncertainly. "we have to go separately from now on" I said and reluctantly, everyone else agreed and we all separated. Just as I was about to go down my corridor, I felt a smooth hand clasp mine and my eyes met familiar blue ones "be careful Val" Jack whispered to me. I smiled at him "yes father" I teased, and then walked down the corridor.

The corridor was silent and dimly lit, but the really creepy thing about it was the walls.

The walls were patterned with pictures drawn out of blood, and the pictures were images of crying children, monsters and demons, children's biggest fears come alive and detailed images of death and despair. But the worst thing was the faces of the tortured children, deep expressions of pain and terror on their once-innocent faces, their mouths wide and gaping as they let out screams of despair.

I shivered and turned my eyes down in the floor.

I suddenly saw a sliver of light at the end of the corridor. Narrowing my eyes, I walked quickly towards it, my hand still ready to grab my sword at any sign of trouble.

The corridor ended with a big, iron door with bright light shining around it. I cautiously opened the door and peered inside. I couldn't see any sign of anyone, so I slowly walked inside.

The room was much more pleasant then the disturbing corridor, though still rather moody and plain. It was quite a small room with grey tiles on the floor and black walls. There was a big grey desk in the middle of the room with a giant leather chair that was (what a shock) black with giant cracks in it.

I narrowed my eyes at the pieces of paper on the desk, and I walked over to the desk, glancing around warily before reading the pieces of paper.

My eyes widened. One of the pieces of paper was headed MASTER PLAN

I grinned triumphantly but my grin soon turned into a bored scowl as the paper stared describing 'evil' the gaurdians are and what they did to Pitch that was so disgustingly foul they had to be destroyed. I stifled a yawn and glanced down at the bottom of the paper, but my mouth dropped open in shock.

At the bottom, it said, to make the gaurdians give me their power, they have to give it to me, which I can do by destroying what is close to them. Each other.

So that's his plan! I thought furiously. I snatched the paper up and raced back along the corridor, my heart hammering wildly I must tell the gaurdians!

I leapt back into the throne room, but my blood ran cold at the sight that greeted me. All the gaurdians Sandy, Tooth, North, Bunnymund and Jack were all locked inside a massive metal cage, bruises and cuts over their skin.

I gasped, my eyes wide. "You bad girl Valentine. Decided to go sneaking round my castle hm? You naughty girl" A soft voice crooned out of the darkness, and Pitch walked out a second later, his silvery eyes glittering.

I glared at him, the paper still clenched tightly in my fist. "Let. Them. Go" I hissed fiercely. Pitch shook his head "and why would I do that?" He said, and I suddenly spotted a short, blood-stained dagger in his hand "we've had such fun" He smirked.

I felt blood pound in my ears, and my fist started to tremble with fury "don't you dare hurt them!" I snarled. Pitch just smirked even wider "it's a bit too late for that" He replied.

I took a deep breath to calm me down even though I wanted nothing more to do then smash his face in. "Please!" I shouted "Let them go! Ill do anything!" I pleaded.

Pitch eyes glittered even more at that. "Anything?" He echoed. I nodded "anything!"

"No! Val don't!" Jack shouted, "yes lass! Don't do that for us! Get out of here!" Bunnymund added, but I ignored them.

Pitch grinned evily "very well"

The last thing I saw were Pitch cat-like eyes staring at me, before blackness consumed me...
