Chapter 14

Snow took some time alone in their house at Antarctica. She wanted to practice her powers to help the Guardians like before. Also her birthday was two week from now, and she had to sew a gift to Bliss. On the middle of her sewing, a knock was heard at the door. Probably Bliss. She hid the half-finished garment and answered the door. But instead of Bliss she saw Pitch.

The man was holding a dagger made up of black sand. She quickly ran to her room to get her chain scythe but Pitch blocked her way via teleportation using shadows, but Snow could also teleport, in an unprofessional way. She quickly imagined her room and was transported there.

Her room was colored white and blue. Her wall was decorated with different things related to art, sketches, painting, sculptures and many more. She quickly ran to the wooden dresser and grabbed her scythe. She grabbed her eye patch. If this didn't go well, she would cover her eyes to avoid being used by Pitch. When she turned, she saw Pitch.

"How did you helped the Guardians?" Pitch said as he changed his dagger to a big scythe, attacking Snow. Snow deflected the attack easily and attempted to kick Pitch but he appeared at her back. "Join me."

Snow turned around and faced the Nightmare King. She spat at him and said. "I will never join you. Ever."

"I have regretted to let you live Snow. But if you will not join me, I will make sure you won't be a use to anybody." Pitch said as he avoided Snow's attack and surrounded her with Nightmares. When she was distracted, he threw a dagger at her.

Snow was hit at the leg, weakening her and making her vulnerable. Snow shouted the Guardians name, one by one. Pitch laughed as he saw Snow fall, fighting the poison he clearly putted in his dagger. 4 hours and she was dead. A pinch of the poison was enough to kill a person instantly, but to an immortal, it took that long. He left. Something in the back of his mind was telling him to save her. He just shrugged it off.

Bliss was flying with Jack when she felt the Earth shook. An earthquake, she thought. After a few seconds, her head span as her heart pounded fast. Jack noticed it and took hold of her arm before she fell.

"Are you ok?" Jack said as Bliss was obviously nervous.

"Snow… something happened to Snow." Bliss said as she shook Jack's arm and flew to the Pole. Something happened, she can feel it.

10 minutes later, Bliss arrived at their house. She ran inside, noticing the things destroyed. She ran to Snow's bedroom, only to see Pitch leave. She saw Snow, restless. The wound on her leg seem to have some black thing surrounding it that keeps getting bigger. She called for help. Jack arrived a minute later. Jack threw a snow globe and went to the Pole.

At the Pole

North was carving a toy ice sculpture when someone opened the door, causing him to drop the ice, shattering it to pieces.

"Phil, how many times have I told you to knock?" North said as he approached the yeti. The yeti said something that made North running to the Globe Room. He had to call the guardians. After he pushed down the lever, he went to the infirmary.

North saw a panicking Jack and crying Bliss. The yetis were inspecting the wound, saying it was poison he was familiar at. He ran to the storage room. He can make a potion that could eliminate the poison, Ombric taught him how. He then noticed he missed one ingredient, the petal of the Golden Flower.

North ran back to the infirmary. He saw all of the Guardians were there, comforting Jack and Bliss. He then told them all about the poison, the potion that could help Snow, and the missing ingredient. They all agreed to go to the only place the Golden Flower grows, Mother Nature's sanctuary deep in the core of the Earth.
