Chapter 21
As they entered the workshop, Mother Nature was in a chair, petting Mandaar. The small dog's ears stood up as he watched the immortals enter the room. A low growl began in his throat as he saw Pitch enter the room.
"Oh my gosh a puppy!" yelled Snow as she ran over to the little pup. Taking him onto her hands, she started to scratch him behind the ear, calming him down.
"I see you returned intact. What I don't understand is why you brought him?" Mother said as she pointed at Pitch.
"Oh great. I thought I only had to deal with one witch, not two." Pitch said as he walked past her.
Tripping him with a root she then said, "And I thought I had to only deal with the rabbit."
Pitch got up with a scowl on his face. "Well it seems you still have that marvelous attitude of yours." he responded sarcastically.
Mother sent a glare. "I will use the root trap on you."
"I'll send my nightmares to your Garden again if you try it."
"Do that and expect flowers all over your home along with bunnies." she smiled.
"You wouldn't dare."
"Why are you dragging me into this?!"
"Oh I would and I don't like bunnies."
"I wonder if a gallon of weed killer would work on her?" Bunny whispered to Pitch.
"I would love to accompany you in that experiment." he whispered back.
"Oh haha and maybe a roasted bunny would taste good."
"Actually it does taste pretty good." Allie said from behind Pitch.
"Hey!"
"I'm outta here. Mandaar, come!" she commanded as she headed towards the window. The small dog jumped out of Snow's arms and bounded towards his master. Fall leaves encircled the two beings before exiting out the open window.
"Good riddance." mumbled Bunny as he resumed his spot next to the fireplace. Several yetis has gathered around during the argument, and were keeping a close eye on the Boogeyman. Especially Phil.
"Anyvays, Pitch. Vould you like to tell us who that voman vas?" asked North as he looked over the workshop, making sure everything was intact.
"Her name is Rhiannon. She was a witch in the Dark Ages. Back then she was known to the locals as the Woman in Black. She is very powerful with her knowledge of black magic. To my surprise, she also harnesses the power Ebony." said Pitch as he stood by the railing. "She is able to create different beings, such as the child who attempted to attack us. Why she is attacking, I have some knowledge of that."
"What is it?" asked Tooth as she fluttered in front of him.
"In a word, revenge." he stated as he walked up to Allie. "And now I'm afraid she wishes to do harm to you as well."
"Don't worry, it's not your fault. I'm the one who yelled at her." Allie said as she waved a hand in reassurance.
"You do realize that means you have to fight off her attacks." stated Jack as he walked over to Snow. "And I don't think snowballs will work in this case."
"Hey! I know how to fight!" Snow and Allie yelled. The older immortals stared at them for a moment, before bursting into fits of laughter.
"You wouldn't even be able to fight off a dingo with only three legs! Haha!" cackled Bunny as he clutched his stomach. Face red with anger, mostly embarrassment, Allie whispered something into Snow's ear. Understanding the plan, she nodded her head in agreement.
While everyone laughed, Allie walked up to the railing, and stood on top of it. Skillfully keeping her balance from practice walking on tree limbs, taking a deep breath, she quickly did a handstand before putting her feet back on the railing. This grabbed everyones attention. Quickly forming a sword of ice in her hand, Snow jumped onto the railing as well. They both took one look at the other occupants of the room before holding up their weapons.
