Pitch

I drummed my fingers, impatiently, thinking of a way to escape Sandy's sand cuffs… but no plan formed. What was wrong with these stupid Guardians? I was sure North could tell when someone lied. Surely he'd know I was telling the truth.

I managed to escape my nightmares only a few hours ago, how would I have formed a plan already? Maybe I could call my nightmares to help. I thought, considerately. I closed my eyes, searching for them. Come to me.

I opened my eyes, as the lights above began to flicker, before going out completely, turning the room pitch black. I smiled, feeling my energy build and ripped off Sandman's cuffs, sinking into the shadows.

"Tooth will tell him," I heard Bunny say, quickly. "Unless Manny is joking… please tell me you are."

Trouble in paradise, rabbit? I laughed, slipping out of the room. They all looked around as my laugh echoed through the workshop. "Did you really think a light and some sand would hold me?" I asked, smugly.

"Pitch," Toothiana frowned, spinning around, quickly. "We need to tell you something."

"Is that so? Well, by all means…" I sighed, materialising on top of North's globe.

They all turned to me, their expressions unreadable. I sensed their fear; it was faint but just enough. I looked down at Toothiana as her beautiful wings fluttered. She stared back at me, raising her small hand to point at something. I followed her hand and froze, staring at the crystal.

"What is that?" I asked, nervously.

"It is Guardian Crystal," North explained, almost reluctantly. "Manny uses it to show new Guardians."

I gave a sharp laugh, dragging my eyes from the image of myself. "Come on," I smiled, despite disliking their joke. "You can't be serious."

"We're dead serious, mate." Bunnymund replied, looking extremely annoyed.

I looked at each of them, uncertainly. "I don't think so. I've made it clear how I feel about this Guardian business." I told them, angrily.

"Pitch," Toothiana sighed, drawing my attention once more. Her violet eyes were soft, as she spoke, though I could sense her nervousness. "It's what you're meant to do. Manny-"

"Manny? You mean your little friend on the moon?" I snarled, her participation riling me up more. "I am not a Guardian and I never will be." I snapped, sinking back into the shadows. I quickly summoned my nightmares and sped back to my lair, without a second thought.
