"How are we supposed to tell him?" Ellie asked looking at all the other Guardians minus Sandy. Sandy actually hadn't even realized that he hadn't gone and seen Lex since she told him about the baby. He's been so engrossed in planning the perfect wedding for Lex and himself.
"I'm not going to do it." Bunny said. "Poor guy."
"I'm horrible at bad news." Tooth said. "Fabian's already looking for her and Flutter has a small army looking for her as well. Maybe if we're lucky they'll find her before we have to tell him."
"We only have a few hours." Ellie reminded her.
"Maybe we can convince him that less time has passed. Like its still early morning or something?" Jack suggested. "I feel like this news would break his heart."
"Let's give it 3 hours. Maybe they'll find her by then. If not we'll have to tell him." Ellie said. All the Guardians agreed.
Lex thought it would be easy to just sneak around. Apparently someone had noticed her disappearance. She couldn't go anywhere where people were. Lex could hear other fairies talking about her disappearance. They were whispering that she had to be found. If anyone saw 'the hero' they had permission from the Queen to capture and detain her. She knew that it was inevitable that she was going to be caught and somehow put back into her 'prison'. But she wanted answers and she knew the one person that could give them to her.
There was one person she was told she could always talk to. That person was the Man on the Moon. Now she knew the Guardian's could hear him, yet she'd never heard him herself. She knew she couldn't wait until night so she found night herself.
Lex ended up in the desert on a rock formation that she knew she learned once when she was in school. She sat down on the edge. Lex was thankful that she could fly otherwise she'd be afraid to fall off. It was beautiful up there nothing but a sky full of stars and a bright full moon. "Hello?" She said. "Umm…Man on Moon?" If people could see her they would probably think that she was insane. "Can you hear me? Well you really don't talk do you? So, I guess I'll just ask for what I want."
Lex sighed.
"So I'm Lex. Well Alexis, Alexis Vice. I'm sure you know me. You know Sandy my fiancé or at least I think we're still engaged….I'm sorry about you know fighting with our, Sandy's and my, child in me. But I couldn't just continue to have everyone suffer, you know? Can you tell me where he is? Sandy I mean. Can you tell me where Sandy is? I just need to see him. I need to talk to him. Ever since he's left I've felt empty. I love him. I do and the only thing really keeping me going right now is this life inside me. If I can't have Sandy then I want to have a piece of him. I want Sandy to be in this kids life even if I'm not going to be." Lex finished. "Do you understand?" The moon seemed to glow brighter.
"Found you." An all to familiar voice almost startled Lex. She turned around and saw a man all dressed in black he was pale and had golden eyes like Sandy's but they didn't have as bright of a glow.
"Pitch Black." Lex said. She was all too familiar with his deeds. Lex knew she'd never met the man. "Can I help you?"
"My old friend sent me." Pitch gestured at the moon. "He and I go way back you know."
"I'm sure." Lex attempted to sound uninterested. "What do you want?"
"I'm here to take you to Sandy."
"This is some trick. I know it is." Lex said. "You tried to put the whole world into a second Dark Age. You attempted to kill Sandy!"
"I know. I've changed."
"Right."
"I have!" Pitch said. "I understand now. I do."
"What makes you think I'll believe you?"
"Let me show you."
"I'm not going anywhere with you."
Pitch sighed. "Then stay." Pitch said. "The Guardians, Fabian, all the fairies they are looking for you. Sandy my naïve should I say acquaintance decided to surprise you. With a wedding." Pitch said ruining it all. "He doesn't know it's been days since he left without a word. Sandman has been working so hard to make everything perfect, but he forgot the one thing that is important. You." Pitch turned away. "Let me make my amends with the Guardians."
"Even if you are telling the truth." Lex stood and faced his back. "They won't accept you. They still won't trust you after all you've done."
"I need someone's trust." Pitch said. "My old friend and I know something is going on. Something big…bigger than even I've done. When the time comes I'll have to help the Guardians. I'll need someone on my side."
"I'll believe you….IF you take me to Sandy and what you've said is true." Lex said.
Pitch smiled at her. She didn't know whether to be scared that he was smiling or to smile back at him. Lex wasn't sure if he was tricking her; if he was he was going to be in a world of pain.
"We've got to tell him." Ellie said. "We've let this go a little far. We're all dressed and ready and there is no bride!" She hissed into her husband's ear. "Lex is missing and no one knows where she is."
"I vill tell him." North told his wife. "I vill go tell him now."
I stood there next to Pitch. I wish I could just smack the smug look off his face, but he was right. I could trust him. Sandy had planned our wedding, our entire wedding. "It's almost time for you to walk down the aisle." Pitch said. "Your gown waits for you down the hall last door to the right." I got in front of him attempting to see more of my all the decorations and all the amazing things that Sandy has done.
I looked back at him. "Thank you." I told him giving him a smile. "I know I can trust you."
"That's all I ask."
I took a few steps down the hall heading to where he said my gown was. "Are you coming?" I turned around and he was gone.
I walked down the hallway taking in all the different smells. Most of it was all the different flowers, but I swear I could smell cookies freshly baked cookies. When I reached a 'T' in the hallway I had to stop to keep from being run over. "Excuse me, Nick. Got to go get ready." I said keeping on my path to the last door on the right.
"Sorry, Lex." Nick replied he went to walk away but stopped. "Lex? ALEXIS! YOU ARE HERE! Vhere have you been?" He picked me up and spun me around.
I was getting dizzy. "Could you put me down please?" Nick thankfully did what I asked. "I don't really have time to explain, but could you tell Ellie and Tooth to come help me? I'm not great with makeup and all that. I don't even know how to do my hair. How long do we have?"
"Thirty minutes." Nick said.
"We have to hurry!" I practically screamed.
A/N: Well here you are as promised. Tell me what you think.
