Chapter 18

"You see, dear, dear guardians. Elizabeth is mine."

There was an awkward silence, but Pitch broke it.

"Now Elizabeth! Kill them!"

I tried to stand up to bang on the window again and scream no. (A lot of good that does, I know.) But it was no use; my body was already running towards them.

"Ah-ah-AH-ah-Ah!" I yelled out on the bumpy ride.

"Don't hurt her!" Jack cried out. "Liz, it's me!"

I opened my mouth to cry out, but Jack let out a cry. My body had done something, and I didn't know what. I heard the thump as he collapsed on the floor.

I slid down the wall, putting my head in between my legs again, and sobbed.

"I'm sorry, Jack." I whispered.

Fighting back the tears, I stood up. Clenching my fists, I yelled out. "PITCH! I know you can hear me! Let them go! You have me! Just let them go!"

"No." Pitch's voice loomed inside my head, making me shudder.

"St-stop it… You-you're hurting them." I said, trying not to cry as a tear slid off my face and splashed onto the floor. Trying not to cry was extremely difficult.

"No dear. You are. And they think you betrayed them." His cackling voice faded away, and it was just me and the window again, watching me fight my invisible friends, because an invisible monster under children's beds is controlling my body, with powers that I never knew I had nor what they are, while I'm trapped inside my own head. Very very bad day, and no one would ever believe this story, if I lived to tell it.

That's it for this chap-

"AAH!" I yelled out.

Pitch snickered, but didn't say anything.

Wiping the tears out of my eyes, I took my phone out of my pocket and flipped it open.

"Hey Steph, this really isn't a good ti-" Her voice interrupted, and I instantly pulled the phone away from my ear as she yelled, trying to make deaf.

"I know I've been gone for a while… I'm sorry… but. yes. Im saf-." I cut off thinking of the situation I was in.

"So how're you and your family? Caleb? Oh, what about the Bennett's? Jamie and Sophie?" I changed the subject, not really sure of how to explain it.

I stared at the window. "Gee I wonder why." I muttered, away from the phone.

"What are Jamie's nightmares about?" I knocked on the window, and made sure Pitch could hear me.

"What'd you tell him?"

I opened my eyes, realizing what I needed to do.

I laughed. "Great advice. Tell Jamie and Sophie that I miss them both, and will be back for more hopscotch soon, just… no ice skatin-." Stephanie's laughter cut me off.

"Oh okay, bye. I'll call you later, I have something I need to anyway."
