Chapter Three:

Mystery Visitor

Wisp stood up. Maybe, in the mean time, she could practice her abilities. Clutching her lantern, she took to the skies.

Wisp looked down at the forest that bordered part of the town and sighed. She would have to get used to being alone. But something in her gut told her she wasn't alone. The way that the moon seemed to grow bigger when she arose almost made her feel like… like someone else was there. As if the moon actually cared about her. And what about that man, Pitch Black? He knew what it felt like; the pain in his voice was slightly palpable. He also spoke of those "Guardians," would they help her? Were they invisible? All of her worries buzzed around in her head like a hive of angry bees while she simply stared down at the town.

Wisp decided to go back to the clearing she found herself in. Maybe that Pitch-Black-man was back from his "business." Wisp skidded to a stop, made a U-turn, and-

Crash!

Wisp and whoever she crashed into went toppling to the ground. She was too stunned to scream. Wisp hit a few leafy branches before landing on the ground, the mystery person landing around ten feet away from her.

The mystery person and Wisp groaned simultaneously. Luckily, it was nothing serious, maybe a few bruises. Wisp brought her head up to see a very strange person, indeed.

The person looked like he was just a boy. He had sloppy silvery hair and let off a silver glow. He wielded a staff with a razor-sharp end and seemed to be wearing armor with glowing orbs. He was extremely thin and slightly short in complexion. His pale green eyes looked over her.

"Hi," Nightlight began awkwardly. He wasn't used to starting up conversations- he is very shy.

"Hello," Wisp replied with equal awkwardness. Who was he? "M-My name is Will-o'-the-Wisp."
Aha! She is the girl MiM sent me for! Nightlight silently cheered inside his head. He usually did not find someone that quickly.

"I'm Nightlight," Nightlight said, reaching for his staff and standing up. Wisp grabbed her lantern and followed suite. When there was an awkward pause, Wisp spoke up.

"You can just call me Wisp, if you'd like."

Nightlight raised his eyebrows. An odd nickname, but then again, his name was stranger.

A thought came to Wisp's head and she said it aloud.

"Why were you following me?"

Nightlight's pale face reddened, not knowing what to say. Wisp tilted her head, waiting for an answer.

"Well…" Nightlight began slowly. "It's complicated," he said shortly.

"Then explain," Wisp demanded. Nightlight chuckled dryly.

"I'll explain later. You wouldn't believe me, or understand," Nightlight said, ending all discussion.

"Okay. Second question: how come you can see me?" Wisp asked suspiciously, crossing her arms.

"Because I'm just like you," Nightlight said. Wisp raised her eyebrows and before she could ask, he cut across her, "I have strange abilities, too."

Wisp hated him being that cryptic, but she pressed on with the questions, walking alongside Nightlight.

"Why do you glow?" Wisp asked, cocking her head. Nightlight laughed.

"Why do you glow?" Nightlight retaliated.

"I don't really know," Wisp said hollowly.

"Me, neither," Nightlight said, cracking a crooked grin. Wisp returned the favor.

"Can I ask another question?" Wisp asked. She still has a million questions, but she shouldn't annoy him, so she will ask more later. He probably had things to do, unlike her.

"You just did," Nightlight said jokingly. Wisp rolled her eyes in a friendly way.

"Who is Pitch Black?"

Nightlight's grin faded. Did she not know that he was the Boogeyman?

"You ask a lot of questions," Nightlight said, chuckling hollowly.

"Pitch Black is the Boogeyman," Nightlight finished.

Wisp, feeling that he didn't want to explain more, simply said: "Oh."

Nightlight stopped walking, staring off into a distance. He glanced up at the moon which seemed to flicker. After an awkward pause, Nightlight cleared his throat.

"I, er, have to go… visit someone," Nightlight said awkwardly, but truthfully.

"Oh- um- okay," Wisp said. She wouldn't ask him who. That was his own business.

"Bye," Nightlight said. And with that, he took off, leaving Wisp feel somewhat lonely. She continued to the clearing.

From the shadows, Pitch grimaced. That couldn't be good.

All right! That's it for now! Hope you liked!
