This is a pretty big chapter for the story. You get to find out what Pitch is really thinking and there is a twist in this chapter. . .

Chapter 35 Pitch's POV

I took a deep breath. I had said it finally. I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. My chest, once tight, had returned to being normal again.

I had been avoiding her these past few days. What was the right way to get her to stay as my ally? I had thought about threatening her. That wouldn't do though. Maybe if I could make her believe that I had affection for her, she would want to stay.

The thought had repulsed me at first. I didn't want love. But I knew that it was all a manipulation, it was okay. Besides she wasn't that bad that I couldn't put on a show for her.

Of course, I'm sure that I wouldn't have noticed these things if she wasn't as powerful as she was. I didn't want to lose her as she was a strong ally. She put in a large contribution to this plan.

My feelings didn't play any contribution to my decision in offering a place at my side. Maybe the smallest percentage, but that was it. I had no time to concern myself with anything larger than that. I merely found myself used to her company was all. If I felt anything more than that, it would begin to cloud my judgment. I wouldn't dare let that happen.

I had finally found her teeth. After a few days of searching, one of my Nightmares had presented it to me. They were delicious memories.

I had regret that I didn't know her back then. Her short life was full of so much fear. Thinking about it almost intoxicated me.

Now I knew where Jack Frost knew her from. I was greatly entertained by it. I didn't like to concern myself in matters of love, but seeing other people inflicted with it was fun to watch. Where there was love, there was fear. The fear of losing a person, fear of rejection.

I remember when I heard Jack call out Elsa's name. It was full of so much desperation, too much for him not to be feeling what he felt almost 200 years prior.

It was rather foolish of him to put himself in this situation. Love was just a foolish decision overall. It was a weakness. Who in their right mind would want that?

However, his foolishness was my advantage. I had the one thing that he wanted, I had the upper hand. As long as Elsa was in my possession, Jack Frost was mine to play. This could be fun. No one in love ever made rational decisions.

I smiled to myself.

It didn't matter that the Guardians had started collecting the teeth like they did last year. North had to prepare for Christmas, so he wasn't helping them. That dampened their attempts at keeping the lights on the globe. Even if there had been five of them collecting, it still wasn't enough. The lights on the globe flickered, going out one by one.

It was just like last time, only this time there was no chance that they would defeat me.

Thanks to my Nightmares, I knew exactly what portion of the globe they were in right now. Jack Frost and I would have a little chat.

Within a few minutes, I was in their area. I thought about creating a source of black sand that would deliver nightmares to the children, but there was really no point without Elsa to provide her protection.

"I want you to get Jack Frost's attention," I ordered to one of the Nightmares. It gave a snort of acknowledgment and then scurried away.

There was really nothing more to do than wait. I wandered into a child's bedroom, dreams of petting cats taking place.

I gently touched the dream sand and now it was nightmares of a fanged cat chasing it through the woods. I inhaled the scent of fear and smiled. It never got old.

"Pitch? Show yourself!"

I perked up at Jack's angry voice. I clucked my teeth. Guardians were so predictable and no fun at all. Jack Frost used to be different, but now he was just the same. They always liked to get straight to business, didn't like dallying around.

"If you insist," I answered, stepping out of the shadows.

I was surprised to see Toothiana at his side and a flicker of annoyance went through me. I had planned for this to be a one on one type of thing. It was alright though, I could adapt easily.

Jack gritted his teeth and shot a frost blast at me. I blocked it with a mere movement of my hand.

"Please there's no need for that," I said, feeling bored.

"What have you done with Elsa?"

I stopped and looked at him. His eyes were blazing; I could see the anger in them. It occurred to me that he believed I held Elsa against her own will. I was amused by this. Love blinded you. It made you see what wasn't there.

"Ah, Elsa. Nothing at all. I mean, yes, we've done things together. Let me think, there was the trick with the black sand, the fear blizzards-"

"Where is she?" Jack demanded, pointing his stick in my direction.

"I had her stay out of this little excursion. I thought perhaps it was best if this was between you and I. After all, she doesn't remember you, does she? There was no reason for her to come."

"If you've hurt her at all," Jack threatened, "I'll kill you. I swear I will."

This annoyed me. "You think I've hurt her? I'm offended that you would think that. Let me think. You believe that I'm holding her hostage? I assure you, her decision to stay with me was hers alone."

"Elsa would never do something like that!"

"That's where you're wrong," I said coldly. "The Elsa that you remember is very different from the new Elsa. She's an entirely different person."

I reached into my pocket and rubbed the container of teeth. On cue, Elsa's voice rang out, "Jack?"

I smiled triumphantly at Jack's distressed expression. Toothiana's eyes narrowed.

"It's really a shame that she'll never remember you," I continued. I pulled out the container of teeth and turned it over in my hands. "I guess that you'll never get to figure out how she used to feel about you."

"That's enough!" Toothiana yelled, her purple eyes glinting with fury.

I frowned at her. "Stay out of this; this is mine and Jack's business."

Jack let out shout and aimed at my hand. I was too quick for him though. I easily dodged his attempt.

"Honestly Jack, you can do so much better," I laughed. "Then again, so can Elsa. To think that I thought you powerful at one time. . . But you're just as weak as the rest of the Guardians. You're all fools."

"You're the one who's the fool," Jack spat at me.

"I'm the fool?" I asked. "I'm not the one who's letting my emotions rule me. You are weak. You are ruled by fear."

"I'm not afraid of you."

"Fear is fear one way or another. I do love it when the Guardians are scared."

I focused my attention on Toothiana, centering in on her and sure enough, there was fear in her too.

"As for you, my dear Toothiana," I mocked and she flinched, "You have grown weaker. I can sense the fear pulsing in your every move. You're afraid that you won't be able to get your precious teeth and fairies back this time. And beyond that, you're afraid that the dazzling Jack Frost will never feel the same about you. You could do so much better."

She paled and with an angry cry, launched herself at me. I mentally called for the Nightmares to take her down.

They hit her with enough force that I could almost feel it. I turned my gaze back to Jack and a blast of power hit me.

I crumpled to the ground, clutching my side in pain. My eyes narrowed and I glared up at him.

"I won't let you corrupt Elsa," Jack told me. "She's strong. She isn't like you."

I shook my head at him, pitying him. He just couldn't see the truth.

"Oh, Jack. She is everything like me."

"You're wrong," Jack said, but there was a tremble in his voice. I fed off of that, growing more confident.

"You should see that I'm right by now. The powers she held as a human are nothing compared to what she has now. With her at my side, we're more than capable of taking down all of you."

"No!"

He tried to attack me again but the Nightmares were on him before he could. He fell to the ground, his staff falling a couple yards from his body.

"Jack!"

I paid no attention to Toothiana's anguished cry. I strode over and picked up his staff. Jack was struggling to get up, but collapsed on attempt. I grabbed his collar and pulled him up to me.

"Soon you'll see your precious Elsa," I hissed. "I'm afraid she won't meet your expectations."

Then I shoved him back down to the ground.

I called for the Nightmares and then I grabbed on to one of their manes and let them take me back to the lair.

I smirked to myself. Tonight had gone exactly as planned. I had Jack's staff. Let's see how he fended without it.

When I got back, I went into my private chambers. I set the staff down on a table. Then I reached into my pocket, planning on putting Elsa's teeth in a safe location.

But they weren't there.

I checked in the other pocket, this time more anxiously. It wasn't there either. Where were they? Had I lost them fighting?

I closed my eyes. If the Guardians had found them. . .

No, it was fine. Elsa would never be in the position to see her memories. As I thought of Elsa, I thought of the question I had asked earlier. I intended to have an answer.

I opened the doors and went to search for her.

Yes. I know. He has Jack's staff and yeah.
