Lily Winter died tragically saving her sister... or so the newspapers said. She had died but wasn't dead. Man in Moon brought her back 80 years after the accident and gave power over winter. A certain guardian of fun takes interest in her and finds that she's a little more than a friend. Will Lily Winter thaw his frozen heart - literally? ROTG - Jack Frost x OC - Rated T

24. The Lair

A/N: WELL HELLO THERE. It's been a while… a long, long, long while. I'm sorry for being "one of those people."

I really stink at finishing stories. I reread all of your positive reviews telling/demanding me to update and I felt so inspired.

I also just watched ROTG again and felt compelled to continue this story. So, here goes nothin'!

P.S. I'm gonna go back and edit it in, but at some point Lily changes out of her dress. Dresses are totally overrated :)

"Pitch… Black?" Mock confusion played on Lily's face. A scowl followed his initial look of surprise and Pitch began to stalk toward her.

"Do you mean to say that you don't know who I am?" Lily shook her head and - to Pitch's surprise - laughed.

"Of course I know who you are, Pitch. You're the idiot who got his ass beat by the guardians."

If it was possible, Pitch's face would've been bright red with anger. He shot toward Lily in a flurry of shadows, his speed taking Lily aback.

He snatched her white hoodie through the bars and his glowing amber eyes pierced through her own.

"I wasn't beat by the guardians. I was beat by Jack Frost." Finally, he sensed some fear growing within her. Pitch's sneer softened to a smile that feigned pleasantness.

"And to get to him, I need you." He pulled her closer so that her porcelain face grazed the bars. She gasped in pain and struggled to move away.

Pitch snickered and released his grip, leaving wrinkles in the soft fabric of her sweatshirt. Lily fell backwards and clutched her face, cooling it with her hands.

"And now that I have you, he's sure to come running."

Jack whispered the name he hated most and the image of an old, wooden bed frame appeared in the globe.

The very thought of Pitch's hands anywhere near Lily fueled that growing fire within him.

He launched the snow globe at the wall and flew swiftly through the open portal. On the other side, he found himself next to the bed.

Last he'd remembered, the guardians had trapped him in the ground below. The entrance to his lair was now wide open - almost inviting Jack with open mockery.

He swallowed the last of his doubts and plunged through the hole in the ground.
