Ivy's POV
Both me and Jack quickly turned around when we heard something like sand move behind us and we came face to face with the Bogeyman. Jack held his staff like a weapon and I got out my bow and arrows once I strapped my harp to my back. All of the plants turned dark and piece by piece they turned into sand, once all of the plants were gone we found ourselves in Pitch's lair. Even the dye on Jack turned to sand and fell off of him. We stood our ground as we locked eyes with Pitch, he just grinned with his pointed teeth.
"Decided to redecorate Pitch? Getting old of the whole dark medieval look?" I asked, breaking the tension
"Not exactly," Pitch swiped his hand and Jack fell into the shadows,
"Jack! What did you do to him Pitch?" I glared daggers at him
"Don't worry, he's not hurt. I just sent him far away from here. Now we can chat without anyone interrupting."
Oh boy.
Jack's POV
I couldn't comprehend the feeling of falling through the shadows until I tumbled onto my lake. I held my head and flew to where the entrance to the Nightmare King's lair would be and the hole wasn't there. I knew I couldn't leave without Ivy but I needed to get to the others as soon as I could.
"Wind! Take me to North's!" The wind circled around me, lifted me up, and flew me to North's as fast as it could go.
Ivy's POV
"What do you want Pitch?"
"Didn't you know? You are the only spirit to have powers over polar opposites," Okay, didn't know that. But I couldn't let Pitch get to me, "haven't you had any spirits after you because of your powers? Who's to say that the Guardians are any different?" I looked down at my bow and thought about Pitch's words, eventhough it was true that almost every spirit I encountered wanted to have me near them at all times, for 'protection' as they would put it. But it was anything but protection, maybe Pitch is right the Guardians might just want me for my powers as well.
Pitch's POV
I could tell that I was getting to her, so I continued, "they don't even care about your wellbeing. As long as they have you, they won't have to worry about a spirit coming in and messing everything up. But I can give you the kind of shield you need to keep all other spirits out." She looked up at me and I could tell by her eyes that she was close to breaking,
"What do you mean?" I took a slow steps towards her until I was just an arm's length away from her
"You haven't even begun to tap into your true powers, I will protect you from other spirits until you do."
Jack's POV
"North! We got a problem!" I yelled after literally crashing through one of North's many windows, I heard a familiar yeti groan below me so I quickly yelled down before continuing to look for the Guardian of Wonder, "sorry Phil!"
"Jack, what is wrong?" looking around, I saw North come out of his private office. I quickly landed next to him and started talking a mile a minute.
"ItookIvyuptoseeJamiesincetheywererelatedandweende dupfindingherharpinJamie'satticand-"
"Slow down Jack, why don't you take a few deep breaths and tell your story again just a bit slower?" I took a few breaths and told my story to North again, but at a slower pace. After finishing, the Guardian of Wonder went over to the globe and sent out the Northern Lights to call the others. Now all they had to do - unfortunately - was wait
Ivy's POV
I wanted to believe him, but at the same time I wanted to brush off everything he said and find a way out of here and find Jack. But there was something about how he spoke and looked at me, almost father-like. Something I didn't experience when I was mortal, but I couldn't abandon the others. I felt Pitch put his hand on my shoulder in a - somewhat - comforting matter. I lost it, I put my head on his chest and tears came tumbling out. His arms enveloped me into a hug and his chin rested on my head.
"Everything's going to be fine Ivy. I won't let anyone hurt you." His comforting words filled my head. I knew I wasn't going to get out of this but I cared about at this moment, was that someone wanted to help me. Something that I didn't have.
O_O Pitch, stop messing with Ivy's head! Hopefully the Guardians save Ivy in time.
Sorry that it is a short chapter
