Sorry this chapter's so late T-T and it's going to be a tiny bit shorter than the last one ^^"
Finals are coming up (which are a pain) but school's almost over so I can update a lot more :D
Enjoy ^w^

Pitch didn't even see us coming when we charged, he was too busy deflecting attacks from Sandy to even notice us. Sandy did though, he was glad that we were safe and looked surprised when he saw that we each had a sword. He didn't give us away though, but just as we were about a foot away a Nightmare ran into Jacquelyn's side causing her to crash into me. Pitch turned and saw us, causing a toothy grin to show on his ashen face.

"Well, well, well," everyone stopped when Pitch started to speak, "what do we have here? Two little birds out of their cage. Do you know what happens to birds if they're out of their cage?"

"They live happily ever after?" I guessed, knowing it was wrong anyway.

"No," Pitch deadpanned, snapping his fingers and shadows from all sides held us and the Guardians in place, "the cat gets a little snack." He snapped his fingers once more and caused the Nightmares to charge at us. I waited until the first Nightmare was with in striking distance, when it was I managed to get my arm out of the shadows grasp and swung. The horse stilled when my sword struck its chest, but it didn't collapse. Everyone held their breath and waited to see what would happen.

It didn't do anything until Jacquelyn stuck it, causing a 'X' shape on the horse. The Nightmare shivered and struggled as ice creped out from the wound. We all watched as the ice covered the whole Nightmare and it soon started to change shape. The neck grew longer and the head became more pointed, wings grew from the back and the tail grew longer. The whole body grew larger and larger, its hooves slowly became claws and instead of the sandy texture, it now had a smooth scaly texture with large leathery wings.

"Whoa." Was all I could say as the eyes opened to revel a light blue color - much like the rest of the body - and the dragon lowered its head and its sharp teeth cut through the shadows that had solidified over time.

"What did you do to my Nightmare?" Pitch exclaimed as the dragon roared at him.

"It's not a Nightmare anymore Pitch." I started as I helped Jacquelyn up,

"It's now an ice dragon -"

"- and it's going to help us -"

"- kick your butt." Wynter and Frosty came up next to us - they were helping the Guardians get unstuck and they changed a few Nightmares into snow wolves while they were at it - along with Jack, Bunny, North, Tooth, and Sandy. We all stood in front of Pitch and behind him was his army of Nightmares. And the battle really began.

Nightmares were flung at us with blinding speeds, we slashed at them with North and Bunny covering our sides and Jack, Tooth, and Sandy covering the skies. The dragon bit the Nightmares in half and froze them when they touched its fire. Wynter and Frosty took care of the Nightmares that got passed everyone else and were going to attack from behind.

But the wave of Nightmares seemed never ending. Jacquelyn and myself got a couple of cuts and bruises, and since we still seemed to be human we were getting exhausted. Pitch saw this and sent another wave directly at us. We tried to move out of the way, but we weren't quick enough. The Nightmares slammed into us and sent us flying backwards into the trees, the impact also caused our swords to fly out of our hands and into the forest.

"No!" The Guardians tried to get to us, but the Nightmares surrounded all of them and kept them at bay while Pitch seemed to glad closer to us.

Come on, move! I yelled at myself, but my body was over come with exhaustion and refused to even twitch. I glanced over at Jacquelyn and saw her having the same trouble as I was.

"Such a same that you both are still mortal, but I think we can change that." I saw the sand harden and form into a giant scythe in Pitch's hands. He lifted it over his head and swung,

"NO!"
