VI

The next morning, Sandy had placed a sleeping spell on Jamie; today was the day that the guardians were gonna get Pitch, and make sure he doesn't harm anyone else ever again. As much as that sounds a little too far, it's still for the best. Jack made sure Jamie was well tucked-in before they all flew over towards the entrance to Pitch's lair.

"Remember..." North said. "...When we enter, Pitch will probably be ready for us. Make sure that we get first hit on him; not him get first on us. Okay?" They all nod and jumps down the hole that lead to Pitch's lair.

Once they were all inside, it looked as dark and unbelievable as Jack remembered. "Well..." Jack exclaimed in a quiet whisper. "...Looks like Pitch never really changed."

"Gee, ya think?" Bunnymund asked sarcastically.

Baby Tooth whimpers a little, and flies around Tooth, clinging onto her back. Tooth sighs and shakes her head through a chuckle. Sandy starts to fly around the place, looking for any sign of Pitch.

"Well, Sandy...any site of-" North was interrupted by a strange sound.

"What was that?" Jack asked concerned.

They all hear the noise again. Bunny's ears twitch and hops over towards the edge of a cliff, hearing some more strange noises coming below. "It's coming from down there!" Exclaimed the pooka, before jumping downward.

Once Bunnymund landed, his eyes widen, and his mouth was hanging open half way. "Guys..." He calls. "...You might wanna see this..."

The others does so, and once they see what the rabbit sees, they gasps in shock.

In front of them was a cloud of swirling black dust with some dark-looking fire around it. The fire sparked in-and-out; the nightmare sand was forming some kind of faces, then disappeared. Suddenly, and eery voice was hear through the cloud of nightmare dust and fire. "None of you are welcomed here- leave this place."

It was the sound of a girls' voice? But that didn't make any sense. This was Pitch's lair, not a girls' lair.

"Um...h-hello?" Jack asked the cloud.

"Good-bye! Leave this place."

The others hadn't seen anything like this. Taking a good look at the cloud of fire and dust, Tooth gasps and pulls out the jar of nightmare sand and fire that was in north's bag.

"You killed Jamie's parents, didn't you?! This sand and fire in this jar matches your sand and fire! PITCH!"

The others guardians' eyes widen, and looks up at the dark cloud. The cloud laughs venomously, and some fire would fly out, hitting the ground like electricity as it laughed. "Do I sound like Pitch to you, girly?! I'm not Pitch!"

"Then who are you, Bit-" Bunnymund gets zapped by some dark electricity-like fire.

"Watch it, Bugs Bunny! Or else!"

"Then who are you?" North asked, getting his swords ready.

The cloud of dust spins faster and faster, until- BOOM!

After that big blast, the others flew onto the ground and landed with a huge thug! Soon, they all looked up and they looked at the sight in front of them. Speechless.

A little girl, about Jamie's age, was floating high in front of them. Se had long dark hair that reached to her lower back, and the hair was swarming around like dancing fire, along with some dust floating around it. Her skin was as pale as Pitch's, but only a little darker; those eyes...was a dangerous shade of an orange-grey color. Some dark-looking fire and electricity formed around her, and she glared down at them angrily.

"My name is Gwen Black. Pitch was my father, until his own nightmares dragged him down here, and killed him! My mother's dead, and was a fire creature! I'm Pitch's daughter," She then fired some black flames around the room, keeping the guardians from escaping.

"And yes, I killed that little shit's parents!" She taunted.

Jack looked at her with an unbelieved look. "...Why..."

Gwen looked at him with the Death Eyes. "Why?! I'll tell you all 'why'! My family has been taken! I wanted revenge on you- returning the favor! But sense none of you had family left, I'll just go and attack someone else's family! I knew how Jack and Jamie were close, so I though I'll cause both Jack and Jamie grief- sense they are like brothers- and kill the boy and girl's parents! But now that Jack and Jamie are truly brothers...I can kill Frost here right now...then make the kid suffer even more! Hell, I'll kill each and every one of you!" Jack was just looking at her. So inanest and full of fear. Literally. She just missed her family, and wanted someone to love her again. But that couldn't happen now. Jack began to think that maybe fighting her isn't the best salutation, but to try and treat her like someone that you'd care for, and not a villain.

With an amazed look that was filled with fear, Tooth quietly pointed out, "I didn't even know Pitch had a wife, or a daughter."

"That's because he wanted us safe! He wanted us to be kept a secret from all of you! Now shut-up, and die!" Gwen started to fight them, but the guardians started to scatter.

Back at the North Pole, Jamie began to yawn and rub his eyes. He gets up and walks around the place after he'd taken a shower, and had some breakfast. A little confused, Jamie was getting curious were Jack and the others were. Surely they weren't fighting- no...

Jamie began to panic! They've went out to fight Pitch?! No!

The more he'd panicked, the more worried he'd became. Suddenly, he sees the moon. Jamie remembered what the guardians had told him about the Man On The Moon, and how he'd chosen many guardians; this was a time in need. Even though he wasn't from the Magical World, he knew that maybe he could at least try to get this guys to answer an orphan's prayer.

"Please..." Jamie begged, getting onto his knees and looking up at the moon with a pleading look. "...I wanna help Jack...he gave me family again, and I wanna help him. Please...give me the power to help Jack Frost- my brother." Jamie knew that this may-or-may-not work. But he had to at least try.

Suddenly, some bright-blue dust started to swarm around the boy, making him gasps in surprised, until-

Jack grunts as he's thrown against the wall. Gwen was getting stronger with attack she'd thrown out; her anger was making her powerful. An idea hint Jack: It was like he'd thought- treat her like someone who you'd care for, not a villain.

Looking around, Jack could see that the others were trying to get a hit on Gwen, but she'd just caused more and more pain on them, making them all fall against the walls and pillars right next to Jack.

Slowly, Gwen floats over towards them, forming a large orb above her head that was whispering some dark things. It was a killing curse. Gwen had the power to kill them. She was gonna kill them with the most unforgettable nightmare of them all. (Justin Bebier)

"Any last words?" Said Gwen in a dangerous voice.

Before anyone could speak, a large snow ball crashes into Gwen, sending her against the far end of the room. Speechless, the guardians' heads turn to the left and spots an ice boy of some sort. Jack's eyes widen. "JAMIE?!" He'd asked.

To Be Continued...

I've gotten this done...only two more chaps!

Gwen is a character that I've just thought-up last night, after watching "ParaNorman" a few times, I've began to image a twist in this story about an orphan (like Jamie), and make her vengeful and evil. She's owned by me, alright?! If you wanna use her in a story, ASK ME FIRST, DAMN-IT! LOLZ! XD

Until the next chapter, R&R! ^_^
