I am laying down, horizontally, completely unconscious, and cold. "I think she's out for the count, Pitch," Jack's voice whispered. "Wait...be patient Frost," a deeper and dark voice whispered back. "I told you never call me THAT!" Jack yelled. I jumped up, now fully awake, and then was pushed back down.
My surroundings was very familiar. Oh no… Pitch's lair. My arms and legs were bound by ice and I couldn't move. "At last," Pitch sighed gleefully, "the sleeping beauty has awoken." "Let me go, Pitch," I snarled, jerking my hands. "I'm afraid I cannot do that, Lily," he drawled, stroking my cheek lightly with his hand. Don't touch me, creep. I turned away from him and Jack was on my other side. "Why do you want me?" I demanded, feeling so unbelievably helpless. "Because," Pitch hissed in my ear, "we need something from you."
I look at him as if he was insane (which was already true) and scowled, "I'll never give it to you." Pitch cupped my chin and made me look at him. "You don't have a choice, darling." Then, the sun came through the holes in the walls and showed Tooth, North, Bunny, and Sandy in a hologram trapped somewhere. "No…" I gasped and Pitch chuckled as he let go of my chin. I've never been so scared and afraid in my life. "Why are you doing this?!" I yelled, trying to break free from the cold ice.
"Because…" Jack sneered, "we need the world to turned dark and ruled by nightmares." Why?!
Wait… I thought, realizing something, the last time I saw Tooth, she gave me this sort of signal, for Baby Tooth and Tooth's helpful hummingbirds... How do I activate it? "You will become dark, Lily. We need your pure innocence. It will help us rule the world," Pitch added. "I will never, ever, turn into a horrible person like you two." I snapped, wiggling my hands to get looser. Pitch and Jack laughed as if I said a hilarious joke.
Then, the ice bounding my hand on my right started to melt and become water. I quickly slid my hand through until it was at fingers point. Come on, melt faster. I thought as the two villains laughed at my 'joke.' Finally, my hand was then finally free, those dimwits, they don't even know I'm free. To use that at my advantage, I started blowing hot air onto left hand. Soon, it started melting…a little. I was getting impatient at how slow it was melting. That's it… I scowled as I broke my hand free making an ear breaking noise. I quickly got up and started kicking up on my ice bound legs. Jack and Pitch turned around, and gasped as I kicked up the ice as it flew around.
I hurried off the table I was bound to and sprinted to the stairs before they could catch me. "GET HER!" Pitch screamed as he sent his nightmare horses after me as well as Jack. As a habit of mine, I grasped onto my (now soaking) fleece coat and ran up the stairs, two steps at a time. Then, a figure flew over me and stopped me in my tracks. I huffed as Jack snarled, "Where do you think you're going, princess?" I squinted my eyes at him and threw a sudden punch at his nose. Jack screamed in agony as I pushed past him and up the rocky stairs. His screams echoing the lair as I saw the light, calling my name. "Nngh!" I grunted as I jumped out of the cave, shutting the wooden door behind me.
"Baby Tooth!" I cried as I ran down the empty streets of Ireland. "Help! Please!" Then, I heard a crackling sound from behind me and I squinted my eyes as I saw the door broken open and Jack flying towards me along with his horses. I screamed as I ran faster down the grassy lane. Every step I took, Jack and the horses came faster at me. Suddenly, two arms wrapped around my waist from behind me and lifted me off the ground.
I cried for help as Jack took me back to Pitch's lair. "Let me go!" I yelled, grabbing onto Jack's arms. He squeezed tighter so I couldn't pull his arms off. "Nngh!" I grunted, again, as I leaned back onto Jack's chest. Baby Tooth, I whispered in my head.
All of a sudden, I heard a familiar chirping sound. Jack and the nightmare horses came to a halt and looked around for the noise. Jack took one of his arms off me and held up his staff. His other arm locked tightly around my waist. I to looked around and saw Baby Tooth hiding behind a rock with two of her sisters. I quietly gasped of joy and Jack looked at me. "What?!" he shouted at me. I looked away from him and forced a yelp of fear back down into my stomach. Then, Baby Tooth flew out into the open.
She looked pretty mad. "Charge!" she screamed in her totally cute voice as hundreds of Tooth's hummingbirds came out of their hiding places. "Baby Tooth!" I cried as Jack turned around and flew back to Pitch's lair while he left his horses to fight. Jack set me down and quickly unlocked the door, but he was too late as I took off into a sprint back to Baby Tooth. "Lily!" she shouted as she flew towards me. I lunged for her as she grasped onto me.
"Baby Tooth," I sighed, as she held me for a hug, lovingly. "You've gotten a lot bigger." "I know!" Baby Tooth laughed as she held me close. She was now a little bigger than Tooth and as tall as me. I have no idea how happy I am to see my best friend. "Look out!" She cried as she pushed me into the grassy ground. I looked up as I saw Jack shooting at her with black snow. She dodged all of his attacks and shot pixie shards (out of her hands!) at him. He used an ice force-shield to block the shards and lunged at Baby Tooth. She jumped up and kicked him in his back, sending him flailing into the ground.
"Girls! Fall back!" Baby Tooth shouted as she grabbed my shoulders and lifted me into the air. The hummingbirds threw their last attacks and fled with Baby Tooth and I. We flew higher and higher into the air as I looked back down at Jack and his horses. Jack looked back at me, scowling, and I let a tear fall as I turned around.
A little longer than the first chapter, and a little bit more confusing too...Sorry! It just goes well in my head! (: ~Emma
