CHAPTER 6: THE LAST DREAM-MAKER (part 2)
Jack eyed the thing from above the sky with sadness
He watched Pitch dragging a tired and weak Sandy to his galleon and forcing him to enter.
"god Sandy….i'm so-so sorry" Jack said as the wind carried him gently inside the galleon to follow the story

Sandy kept trying to get free from Pitch's grip from the moment he got in the galleon but then something took him off guard.
In the cages above his head, were stars.
Some of them asleep, probably unconscious…having nightmares while the ones awake were screaming in pain or fear...
(sure!) Sandy thought (a star's fear is strongest that any other…so they get stronger if we have nightmares) he thought eyeing Pitch….his former "friend" or maybe even "lover"…
they stopped at a very large cage.
"since you're a little one" began Pitch patting Sandy on his head "I'm going to let you some company!" Pitch said as he thrown Sandy in the cage and closed right after that.
"enjoy your staying!" finished Pitch as he left with a echoing of laughter behind him
"Sandy!" said someone from behind getting the younger one's attention
As Sandy turned around, he saw Hyria covered in bruises with her colour resembling a yellow instead of a gold one.
He quickly ran to her and hid his face in her chest
"hey little one….are you alright?" asked Hyria as Sandy nodded burying his face deeper in her chest.
"t-that was-" Sandy stopped, not able to finish the sentence as tears fell down his face...not from fear...from sadness
"yeah, i know" Hyria said embracing the younger one tightly, as if fearing he would escape
when Sandy calmed himself, he explained of Sunny, of the dreams he sent and of not ever saying his name…so that Pitch believed he had still a foe in the sky
"I understand" Hyria said "you need to rest" Hyria finished as Sandy shook his head
He had no intention on sleeping here, of all places.
The little star sat on Hyria's legs as the other one tried to coax him to sleep, but it was no use
Well...can you blame him?
"don't worry, I'll be with you...i'll make a dream for you" Hyria said smiling, while she cardled him, singing a lullaby
Two minutes later fear recoiled and Hyria smiled seeing the other's comfort.
After a few minutes, Sandy was sleeping, still ceardled from Hyria who kept stroaking his hair with gentle movements

"you're so cute" Pitch said awaking Sandy in the process who gripped harder on Hyria.
"you come with me!" he said to the older of the two as Sandy shook his head
"don't worry…" Hyria said as Sandy got up "I'll be fine" finished Hyria, winking, as Sandy nodded understanding
Pitch opened the door for Hyria to get out….but when he raised his head, he only saw Sandy motion a large wave of gold sand in his way…making him fall along with his nightmares
"THAN IT'S YOU!" Pitch said angered as Sandy and Hyria escaped "HE'S SANDY! STOP HIM!" Pitch screamed as nightmares followed his orders but Sanderson was stronger.
With his whips he defeated each nightmare until there was noone left in his way and got back to his comet, heading for the sky, leading Hyria to another ship.
She was rather faster and menaged to get out of the sandman's sight while he….was followed by the nightmare galleon.

Hyria's POV
That's when i saw the man in the moon...
The Lunanoff prince...he was still alive...
I was so happy i forgot about Sandy.
I couldn't see him behind...all i heard was a voice from that huge globe of brightness
"i wish you'd stay" the voice said as Hyria listened and landed on Earth, eyeing the sky with a warm smile as she spotted Sandy's comet...followed by the nightmare galleon.
She gasped and reached again for her star but it was too late. She saw the comet falling and ran...ran towards the direction of Sandy's comet.

"you can't escape!" Pitch shouted from the front of the galleon as nightmares used hooks to grab Sandy's star while the little dream-weaver tried to regain control.
"boo!" Pitch appeared out of nowhere and so did his scythe. The two began fighting and Pitch ended a blow right on Sandy's neck.
Thanks to his reflexes, Sandy was able to dodge the fatal part of the hit…but his voice was gone after that…
The little star held onto the gold wall of his comet, blood pouring out from his deep wound, starting to make him feel dizzy
"is that all you've got?" Pitch asked as Sandy fell on his knees "well i must admit you gave me quite a few problems before...i can't believe a star so little can be a dream-maker" Pitch said rising his Scythe "goodbye Sanderson Mansnoozie" Pitch began lowering his scythe while Sandy eyed the controls.
With the last strength he had, he menaged to twist the direction of the star making Pitch stumble and fall out of the comet.
Sandy laid on the ground of his ship half-conscious, not able to get up until he heard a wish…from a known voice.
"I wish you well" the voice said as Sandy felt a lot of wishes being asked together in a wonderful symphony. He understood he had fallen on a planet and decided to make the last effort in order not to injure any being on the planet.
And so he got on his knees again, making his star head into the see where it crushed and formed an island of gold sand
but there was no sign of Sanderson….
Apart the gold sand flying everywhere and the laughter of Pitch. everything was dead quiet.
