The Nightmare King
Chapter 12
Still
I walked back. I walked a long way from the school and to pitch's lair. When I reached his place, Pitch must have knew I was here. So I walked up closer to him. I was anxiously waiting for him to welcome me. "What brings you here?" He asked. I took a run for it and ran into him. I was knocking him into the doorway and punched him over and over until my knuckles bleed. Pitch grabbed me from the neck and slammed me up against the wall. He smiled in a sinister like smirk.
"What are you doing Mary?" He stared at me, knowing that I was already mad and scared at the same time.
"What did you do Pitch?" He didn't answer. Until now. He let me go and answered my question.
"What did you do!? What happened to my friends Pitch!?"
"I messed up." His eyes flattered as he stared at his hands.
"No! You killed everyone. Everyone is dead. Except for the guardian's." Pitch's eyes looked up at me. He then turned away from me in shock and disbelieve. Tears rolled down his cheek bones. I saw him take out another golden locket from his cloak. I couldn't see anything but his hand and the locket. I eased down a bit of my fear and anger. Pitch was quiet. He didn't even utter a word. I walked slowly to him, I placed my shaken hand on his left shoulder to turn him around. His head turned slightly but I could not see his face. But what I did saw was the one tear dripping from the tip of his nose.
I heard a person walking in through the open door way. I turned around and saw a man in a black hat almost like a pirate. It was a nightmare man and his army. He spoke.
"General Kozmotis? We reached the end of this battle. Everyone is gone. There are no more than three thousand future guardian's dead and left to bleed to death. The big four and their lousy friend Jack Frost returned to a secret place." Pitch sniffled and turned around.
"Where is this secret place you recall?" The man swallowed. He was very scared of what Pitch might do to him.
"A pond in Burgees, Pennsylvania. I believe it is called…." I cut him off.
"Jack's pond. It's my teacher's pond, the place where he drowned in the icy water!" Pitch looked at me as if I didn't have a clue what I was getting myself into.
"Yes! Where another part of my entrance is at. Thank you. For goodness sake you guys did something right. But…" He stopped and looked back at the locket than looked back up at me. He walked closer to me a handed me the open locket. It was a picture of me, him and his daughter. I was confused. I asked him a question as he signal the army man to leave.
"What…why did you give me the locket? And why am I in this?" He stepped closer and grasped my hand shut with the locket.
"You fit perfectly and you remind me so much of her." He tried to walk away quick. I stopped him.
"Pitch!? Who?" He smiled still with a tear about to roll out of his wide eyes.
"My deceased wife. Lady." I almost stopped breathing for a moment. I clinched my chest because I was so shocked and surprised. I felt sad along with him. But the sadness became stranger. I was feeling strange. As I followed Pitch to the other side of the layer he stopped and turned back at me. He spoke to me with those wide eyes and a smile.
"You are the one. Only one. That I could ever think off. You are my everything, you make me cry, laugh and feel loved unlike those savages above. You somehow is never afraid and you act so strange around them like you don't care and then when you're here with me you seemed so at eased and feel much better. Even the nightmare men and horses are not smelling your fear."
"So…" I still in shocked.
"So! Mary I love you and I hope you love me. We can be together in this dark world of mine. You hated when Linda got in the way of some issues and somehow managed to come back. Most children would run away but you are the one." He came and grabbed my hands.
"Please. Mary don't leave me down here alone. I want you and you want me. We are perfect. You don't mind scary things and they do. You don't seem to care for scaring children and they do. Be with me. Please. That is what I really want." I had tears rolling down my cheeks. Pitch's eyes started to tear up as well.
I came in closer to him and even more close to the point I hugged him. I did. I still had that locket in my right hand. I kissed him on the chest where the 'V' line shown. I couldn't help myself. I was addicted to him. He was addicted to me and could never let me go. But it was something much more. I know what I was getting myself into. The nightmare queen. As I thought about it I smirked in a sinister way. I felt Pitch's arms wrapped around me and he moved his left arm so that his hand was petting my head. I slowly whispered these words to him.
"I love you my dark angel, my one and only nightmare king." I knew he was smirking too. I moved my head up to look at him smirking. His eyes narrowed. He respond.
"So let it be. We are both royal now. I love you nightmare queen." I felt something odd changing within my body. I pulled away quick and walked over to a mirror with dark edges. I looked at my reflection and saw my hair turning jet black, my dress was changing to a long black dress, and my eyes turned red. I felt so much better. Up at the corner of mirror I saw Pitch walking slowly to me. His smile warmed my dark soul. He whispered.
"Better. Now we could be here forever, me and you." I smiled again at his response. Those guardians will never remember what I really was. And I am not the future guardian they thought I was going to be. I know my real identity. I was MaryAnn Black.
Bangs were being heard from above the cave. We grabbed hands and ran off to the entrance. We poked out and it was a whole war happening again with the guardians and our dark army. I smiled once more as I saw one of the guardians fell and landed on his back from being stabbed. When it was nightfall and the war still went on. I loved hearing screams of children when they saw Pitch in their rooms. I could hear them a mile away. All I could do was smirk in a sinful way as I watched the guardians fall. All would come to a happy ending. I love him. I love Pitch. I am Mary also now known as MaryAnn Black. Queen of Nightmares.
The End
