Sorry for the short upload and long wait, hope I didn't get your hopes up too much. So, now the guessing game officially begins! What on earth is happening with Victoria? For the sake of this chapter, just assume Pitch is secretly the King of Sass, as one fan made picture tells us. But if you go looking for it, please be careful TT_TT some scary things lurk in the internet...
It was by general agreement that we decided not to tell anyone about our alliance. Once you get past that dark, scary, emo-ish, and depressing exterior you realize that Pitch was mostly the remains of a really good man after being chewed up and spit out by unearthly darkness. Oh, and incredibly dry humor matched with sharp wit. I told him that a haircut and wardrobe change would do wonders for his reputation but he wasn't sold on the idea. And like a shadow in the night he disappeared, pensively staring at the key, wondering what it was for. I chatted with Lucy for a while, trying to figure out who else could possibly be trying to make me go to bed. I'm kidding, I know he meant someone was trying to kill me. Lucy brought up an interesting idea.
"What if the person who's trying to kill you has something against you personally?"
"Like what? You heard Pitch. He said he heard only good things about me."
"Well, perhaps it has something to do with how you were made."
"Uh… I died."
"How do you know that?" her eyes were gentle as she questioned me.
"Well, I was shot in the woods."
"So you saw your body?"
"Well, no. I woke up in the woods, followed my mommy to the hospital, and she was sad and talking to a doctor. She married him and they're happy now! He even saw me at the wedding!" I finished, breathing heavy from excitement and lack of air. Lucy smiled, shaking her head before ruffling my hair affectionately.
"Perhaps you should think harder on the circumstances that made you a spirit. You'd be surprised at how little is required to become a spirit…" and with that mysterious note, the fog rolled in and disappeared, taking Lucy and Frost with her.
"Well then, that's a nice way to end a conversation."
