Chapter 32

He stepped forwards, and then I saw it. His collar had white teeth around his neck. When he moved, the teeth moved, almost biting his neck. If the armor wasn't there, the teeth would probably suck all his blood out. It almost looked like his armor itself was alive.

He took a few more steps, but I didn't move. Now that I knew for sure who he was, I wasn't entirely afraid of him somehow. He smirked.

"You know, I can't decide. Should I let you all harm each other by yourselves? Or…" He smirked, stepping another step forwards, holding out his hand to his right. And suddenly his armor on his right arm extended into a black sword, with a black grip for him to hold onto, and a pearly white sword, like a leech's teeth, and his collar. He wrapped his hand around the grip, and the armor connecting the sword and the armor shrunk back into his armor, leaving his sword in his hand, and making his smirk even larger.

I pushed my hand into the air, pushing thorny vines along with it, when they stopped suddenly and fell to the ground. I gasped, stepping backwards.

That wasn't supposed to happen… I thought uneasily.

"Don't you remember? I'm the Leech. My power is to suck other's powers." He smiled mischievously.

I looked at him, "Pitch really does have the ability to control people using their fears doesn't he?"

He smiled. "Good job Lizzy. Glad you figured that out."

"So.. uh how much time do you have left till you run out of Pitch's powers?" I smiled crossing my arms.

"I've got all the time in the world, Liz." A pine tree rose from the ground and Leech hopped onto it. I yanked on it to pull it to the ground, but ice formed piercing into my skin. Grunting uncomfortably, I sucked the finger, and whipped my hand around and around until I felt the feeling again.

Sighing relieved, I started to go up, growing my own plant, but then looked at the five. They were all standing. Jack might have been still unconscious, but Leech wasn't letting his body show it. They just stood there, staring at nothing with a blank look in their eye, almost lifeless.

I bit my lip trying to think of what to do, then looked up, and laughter that was not Caleb's boomed out. I gasped, the breeze blowing.
