Chapter 13
"I'll give you a reason why this woman can't marry this man!" Dash said, standing in the doorway.
"Who dares to interrupt my wedding?" Pitch asked.
"I dare!" Dash replied, striding into the room. "Vanellope loves ME! I think..."
Pitch glared. "Nightmares! Get him! And make sure he has insomnia after!"
Dash looked around then laughed.
"Your nightmare minions don't seem to be doing their job well." He snarled.
"Nightmares! I have ordered you as my army to..."
"Army?" Vanellope asked in disbelief. "There's only two of them!"
Reaching up, she rubbed away the excessive nightmare aura from Pitch.
"Two guys!" She repeated.
Pitch blinked in surprise. "I can see!" He exclaimed.
He looked over and Vanellope. "I can see how lovely you are!" Then he turned to Dash. "I can also see your roots are showing. I can also see... two nightmares! Two very unlucky nightmares!"
He smirked. "I can also see many changes I'm going to have to make."
"The only to be made here is the identity of the groom!" Dash spat back.
"That's not what I'm thinking." Pitch replied. "This is my sleepover and you aren't invited. Now, I will take what's mine and go."
He grabbed Vanellope by the hand and took off.
"Let go of me!" Vanellope screamed, squirming and biting.
"Let her go!" Dash screamed, running full speed after them.
Pitch turned and smirked at Dash before snapping his fingers. A wall of black flames filled the hall, blocking Dash.
Dash turned to find another path while Frogslip and Llort tried to find another way too.
When the nightmares opened a door leading outside, they saw an unpleasant surprise.
"Hello, boys." Was all Rapunzel said before delivering a sharp punch to both their faces.
Meanwhile, Pitch had taken Vanellope to a certain area.
"I knew I couldn't trust those bozos..."he muttered. "I realize that you aren't fully ready, my love. So I'm going to lock you in my nightmare room, so you'll be as accustomed to this place as me."
"No! Please!" Vanellope screamed, curling in a ball.
It was King Candy's chamber all over again!
"You'll come to love this place." Pitch said. "And me. Until then, get to know the dark. It's so nice once you're fully acquainted."
He dropped Vanellope and was about to close the door, when a wall was blown off.
On the other side was Frogslip and Llort who immediately fainted revealing Dash was behind them, holding a sharpened bone.
"Dash!" Vanellope cried out, running over to hug him.
"Sweetheart!" Pitch screamed. "Your king commands you to stay!"
He angrily fired a dark blast at Dash.
In a panic, Vanellope felt the static inside her grow even more powerful until it came fully out, not as a glitch, but as a force field!
"You can make force fields?" Dash asked in shock.
"That was new..." Vanellope admitted, happy her glitching was something else entirely.
The darkness hit the force field where it ricocheted off it and back at Pitch, blinding him again.
"NOOO!" Pitch screamed, then took off after them.
Dash grabbed Vanellope then turned to Frogslip and Llort.
"Show us the closest exit." He threatened, aiming the bone at them.
The two gulped and pointed at a door.
"Open it!" Dash demanded.
The nightmares nodded and quickly unlocked the door.
Dash took Vanellope's hand and ran out to where Rapunzel was waiting for them.
"Know what to do?" He asked her.
Rapunzel nodded, and the three of them ran towards the outskirts of the kingdom, Pitch angrily chasing them.
"Do you trust me?" Dash asked Vanellope.
Vanellope nodded. "Yes!"
Dash grabbed her hand. "Okay, the outskirts are at the edge of a drop that we're about to come to. Brace yourself."
"What?" Vanellope shrieked.
"I won't let you go!" Dash promised, pulling her close to him.
The two leapt off the cliff, where Penny with her hover board was waiting.
"Nice of you to drop in." She joked as they went to get Rapunzel.
Meanwhile, as soon as Pitch touched the light, he let out a bloodcurdling scream as he began to burn up and turn into ashes.
"He always did like exits with flair..." Frogslip began.
"But what are we going to do now?" Asked Llort.
Frogslip smiled. "I think now, we start with the reign of KING FROGSLIP!"
"Oh no, you don't!" Llort exclaimed. "It's the time of King Llort! It has a better ring to it!"
"You're insane!" Frogslip snarled.
"Why I outta..." Llort retorted.
