The music started off slow and soft but as it grew louder, it grew in intensity, then Pitch began to sing in a surprisingly soft and deep voice.
Mayday! Mayday!
The ship is slowly sinking
They think I'm crazy but they don't know the feeling
They're all around me,
Circling like vultures
They wanna break me and wash away my colors
Wash away my colors
He gestured around him to the nightmares surrounding him, then to his clothing choice. But the song made me think, did he choose to be that way?
Did he choose to have grey skin, or wear black at all times, or be the spirit of darkness and fear?
Then, he began to get louder until he was blaring out the chorus.
Take me high and I'll sing
Oh you make everything okay, okay, okay
'Kay, Okay, Okay
We are one in the same
Oh you take all of the pain away, away, away
'Way, away, away
Save me if I become
My demons
I was shocked, for two reasons. One; who knew that Pitch could sing that well?! Two; Who expected him to choose a song this meaningful.
I cannot stop this sickness taking over
It takes control and drags me into nowhere
I need your help, I can't fight this forever
I know you're watching,
I can feel you out there
He flung out his hand and stared out into the space behind us. Or I thought that until I noticed that Sandy was sitting behind us, awake for once, and staring at Pitch with a haunted look in his eyes.
Take me high and I'll sing
Oh you make everything okay, okay, okay
'Kay, Okay, Okay
We are one in the same
Oh you take all of the pain away, away, away
'Way, away, away
Save me if I become
My demons
He moved his free hand, in a seemingly absent motion, around in the air above him and his black sand began swirling in the air. I slowly moved to pick my staff off of the floor and noticed the others doing the same, except for Sandy, who appeared to be frozen.
Take me over the walls below
Fly forever
Don't let me go
I need a savior to heal my pain
When I become my worst enemy
The enemy
He looked at me and seemed to glance questioningly towards my staff as if asking why I was holding it, all the while singing. In return, I glanced at the swirling mass of black sand above him. He followed my glance and dropped him hand immediately, the black sand falling and disappearing into thin air.
Take me high and I'll sing
Oh you make everything okay
We are one in the same
Oh you take all of the pain away
He snapped back into the mood and seemed to blare out what seemed to be the end of the song.
Take me high and I'll sing
Oh you make everything okay, okay, okay
'Kay, Okay, Okay
We are one in the same
Oh you take all of the pain away, away, away
'Way, away, away
Save me if I become
My demons
I sat up and shifted in preparation to clap politely and hide my shock at the fact that Pitch could sing!
But he just kept singing more. So, I settled back into the chair with a beet red face.
Take me high and I'll sing
Oh you make everything okay, okay, okay
'Kay, Okay, Okay
We are one in the same
Oh you take all of the pain away, away, away
'Way, away, away
Save me if I become
My demons
As the Pole descended into silence, the only thing that was on my mind was the wondering of just who that song was about. Who was the one that he wanted to 'take away his pain?'
Then I remembered the glances, and haunted look. It clicked.
I breathed out one word, drawing the attention of everyone else.
"Sandy."
(AN: I was going to leave it here but I just had to keep writing!)
At the sound of my voice, he made a question mark appear on top of his head.
"Jack? What wrong?" North said, but I continued on, ignoring him. Turning to Pitch, I spoke.
"The song!" He only looked confused, but as I continued, realization and panic began to show.
"The lyrics! 'We are one in the same?' it could only mean Sandy!"
As I said this, Pitch disappeared into the shadows and Sandy was left speechless. He couldn't even make an actual sand picture above his head.
The guardians were left in shocked silence, realizing that what I had implied must have been correct. Sandy and Pitch either have or had a RELATIONSHIP!
In an attempt to get our minds off of the topic, Sandy pointed to himself then the stage.
"Sandy, you can't do karaoke. You can't speak." Bunny told him.
Sandy paused and we all stared at him for a few moments before a lightbulb suddenly appeared above him and he floated towards the mic. Then a song, known world-wide, began to filter out of the speakers.
Sorry for the longish wait for this chapter but I have SOOOOOO much summer homework.
I have a list of the awaiting duets so keep reviewing with duets and I will get to it!
Next Up Is... SANDY!
