Eve sat curled up against the bars in the back of her cage.
She should've eaten before she had left the house, grabbed an apple or something, because she was starving.
By the count on her phone she had been here for almost 12 hours and Pitch still hadn't given her any word on her father, or his plans. Eve pulled out her phone. Ok more like 14 hours. Eve was starting to loose her mind. Being cramped in this cell. She couldn't stand it. She could feel the clawing at the inside of her stomach as it let out a particularly nasty groan. Eve whimpered.
How was she going to get out of this?
Jack landed with a loud thud in the workshop.
"North!" He bellowed and the tall man came running.
"VHAT?" He asked semi annoyed. His irritation evident on his face. North's face paled at the sight of Jack.
"North! You have to help me! Eve's gone!" Jack cried frantically, floating right in the old mans face. North gulped. They knew of only one person capable of this.
"Come, ve must summon the others."
Eve curled up tighter, as the sound of footsteps echoed through out the cave.
"STOP!" A voice screeched. Eve perked up a bit. The voice was high, definitely feminine, and very scared. An eerie cackle sounded through the cavern and Eve curled up against the back of her cage.
"You can't do this! The Man in the Moon WILL send someone to stop you!" The voice screeched again. Another cackle.
"The Man in the Moon has no power over me. I would like to see what pathetic attempts he makes to stop me." Pitch cackled as he came into view. Eve tilted her head slightly and her eyes widened. Pitch was dragging another girl by the hair to a cage lower than Eve's. She was curvy, slightly on the "bigger" side. She was covered in little cuts and scrapes and dirt. Her auburn hair matted and dirtied. Tear tracks stained her face and she had a look of anguish.
"We will punish you for this Pitch You cannot win!" She growled as he threw her into the cage. Pitch just laughed as he locked the cage, with a flick of his wrist the chains rattled and rose the cage up next to Eve's.
"I believe you are in no position to be making threats." With that, the black sand swirled and he was gone. The girl huffed and began to rattle the cage door.
"That won't work." Eve said quietly.
"What?" The girl spun around. "Who's there?" She shouted. A look of fierceness crossed her face. Eve slowly rose and walked over to the edge of her cage.
"Here." She said. The girl spun, shock written across her face.
"A-a human? What are you doing here? How can you see me?" She sputtered confused. A ghost of a smile flickered across Eve's face.
"I can see a lot of things. What is your name?" Eve asked. The girl stood strait.
"I don't remember. My real name that is. When I awoke, the Moon told me I was Autumn. And I believed. But no one could see me." The girl said quietly. Eve nodded.
"I understand. Jac- I mean, I have a friend. he told me a similar story." She said. Slowly Eve slid down the bars into a sitting position, leaning against the bars and resting her temple against the cool metal.
"So who are you? Why does Pitch have you?" Autumn asked copying Eve's position. Eve looked up.
"My name is Evelyn. But everyone just calls me Eve." She said. Autumn looked unsatisfied.
"Why does he have you? I mean, no offence but you're a human, nothing special. What could he possibly have use for you?" Autumn asked. Eve shrugged.
"I have friends in high places." Eve said simply.
So I apologize for the lack of updates. I was super bust for the last few months with the final weeks of school. I just finished my school year and my final exams.
Now on a new note, I've been entered into a writing competition on to write a Rise of the Guardians story. It's between me and 9 other writers and we start publishing stories on August 1st. I hope you'll all go check out our stories!
Todays question:
If I were to publish a sequel, would you all want to read it?
I'm only asking because my story line is already planned out and I know how it ends. I could write it open for a sequel or would you all just want me to leave it open for interpretation? I hope you'll all leave me a review!
