Sorry about the delay in chapters. My Wifi is cut off so right now I'm borrowing my cousin's. More chapters to come.
Chapter 11
The horse got closer and came to a screeching halt in front of Pitch. Allie had hidden behind the Nightmare King when she saw the beast charge.
"You can open your eyes you know." Pitch said as he stroked the horse.
Allie slowly opened them and gazed at the horse. It's golden stare mesmerized her. Carefully walking closer, she went to pet the beast, and quickly pulled back when it snapped at her hand.
"Now now, behave yourself. She is a friend." Pitch scolded. The horse put down its head in shame. As an apology, it walked up to Allie and started to nose her cheek.
"Hehe. It's beautiful." she said as she stroked the horse's head.
"Indeed. Now you simply mount its back and it will carry you to the surface." Pitch instructed, helping her onto the back of the creature.
"How will I get back in?"
"Just knock on the bed frame."
"Ok, see ya later." she managed to say before the horse galloped out of sight.
"Never thought I would here that." Pitch said as he admired the knife once again.
Quickly making its way to the surface, the horse shot out of the ground. Startling the Guardians in the process. Allie dismounted the beast, and after a quick kiss on the nose from Allie, it retreated back into the darkness.
"'Bout time! What took you so long?" complained Bunny.
"That is none of your concern. If you want to talk I think we should do that somewhere else." suggested Allie, eyes a bit wide.
"Why?" questioned Jack.
"Let's just say, I don't think you want to get eaten by wolves." she answered while pointing behind them. Several wolves were visible. Glowing yellow eyes, teeth barred, mouth and paws stained red from an earlier hunt.
"Quick! Everyone into sleigh!" North ordered. They all piled in, while North took the reins. One of the wolves hopped onto the back of the sleigh and was nose to nose with Bunny.
"Crickey!" Bunny cried before pulling back to avoid the wolves snapping jaws. Sandy quickly knocked the wolf out with his dream sand. Falling to the ground in peaceful slumber, the other wolves started come closer.
"North!" Tooth warned.
"Hyaa!" he yelled as he snapped the reins. The reindeer immediately responded, and they flew off into the night.
"Woah." was all Allie could say as she looked over the edge of the sleigh.
"Everyone likes thee sleigh." North chuckled. Bunny was still keeping a close eye on her. Tooth tapped her on the shoulder.
"Don't tell Bunny this, but i think it was really sweet of how you stood up for Pitch like that. A little crazy, but sweet." Tooth whispered with a smile.
"Thanks." Allie whispered in return. Tooth felt a strange warmth when she heard her whisper, and she couldn't place where it was coming from. She quickly dismissed it when some of her fairies arrived to show her the teeth they collected.
Suddenly, it started to snow. It started out light, not very visible. Then it started to get a bit heavier.
"Jack, cut it out. It's freezin' up here already." complained Bunny. Jack looked around confused.
"I'm not doing this." Jack said as he stood up in the sleigh. It was true. His staff was firmly by his side. There was no wind, or clouds in the sky. It seemed to be coming from thin air. No frost anywhere. Just snow. "Im gonna go see what's making this snow."
Before anyone could protest, he flew off into the sky.
"How come Frostbite actually does his job when it concerns his stuff?" questioned Bunny. Everyone else just shrugged they're shoulders in return. The snow was starting to get thicker and was making it harder to see. Sandy made a snow globe above his head.
"I vould Sandy but I can not see vhere to throw the globe. I could hit something by mistake." said North as he squinted his eyes. Up ahead he could see a distinct shape.
Allie could see everything if she looked down. The millions of lights below her looked amazing. She didn't even have to worry about the risk of fall-
The sleigh suddenly made a sharp turn, causing Allie to go flying over the edge of the sleigh. Suddenly, those lights didn't look to beautiful anymore.
