Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I do not own Rise of the Guardians or any of the characters
How long back it had been since Alicia had cried that night, she didn't know. She had stayed in that very room the whole time trying to figure out what was she going to do.
In the mean time she learned that she didn't breathe, nor had she a heartbeat. She was like a living corpse.
She had none of her powers like before just like Pitch had said. She could only hover above the ground of fly, but that was the only thing. She thought a lot about learning to move in the shadows but never found the motivation to do so.
Her thoughts also ran towards the Guardians. How are they? Do they miss her? And then it goes to Bunny. How is he? How was Easter this year?
The love and longing she once felt had now turned to pain and sorrow. She couldn't feel anything anymore, no joy or happiness and no love.
She sighed and sat on the edge of her bed. She ran her hair through her long black locks. She had gotten used to it but not the dress. It was much different from her old one but it kept her warm.
She stood up and walked around for a bit. She was used to the darkness and Pitch allowed her to move freely although she felt the presence of a Fearling following her.
Maybe she finally got the motivation she needed to ask or show him. She heard rustling and whispering. She came to the area where cages hang up above the ceiling and a small globe.
Pitch was pacing back and forth. Probably planning on destroyed the Guardians. She thought and rolled her eyes.
She elevated from the ground towards him but he was too busy to notice. She landed on the globe only touching it with her toes and crossed her arms over her chest.
She stopped her foot and his attention was drawn to her. "What is it?" He asked impatiently and Alicia frowned. Alicia landed in front of him. I want to learn to move in the shadows. She thought and Pitch smirked.
It turns out Pitch could hear her thoughts, which was somewhat strange but he did bring her back so on one side it made sense. On the other he could also probably do it because he was the King of Nightmares.
"So you finally decided to do something other than rotting in your room" he said and Alicia silently growled. "And all it took was a century" he said with a sly smirk.
A-A century? Alicia thought with disbelief. That long?
Whatever, are you going to teach me or not? I'm sick of this place. I need to get out. She said and he furrowed his brows. "If you leave-"
That's why you need you to teach me to move in the shadows. She interrupted making Pitch growl. "Fine, then I shall teach you" he said and she nodded in a 'thank you'.
Pitch snapped his fingers and Alicia suddenly fell through something with a silent yelp. She stopped herself from colliding with the cold, hard floor.
She looked around for any signs of Pitch, wanting to kill him. "First lesson. Feel the shadows, every move, curve and ruffle. Second lesson, be them." Pitch's voice said but he was nowhere to be seen.
She sighed and closed her eyes. Feel the shadows. She let her body relax. She could feel the movement from the shadows and jerked in that direction.
"Good. Now try to move with them" Pitch's voice whispered in Alicia's ear and then disappeared leaving her alone once more with the shadows.
Feel them. Be them. She relaxed and closed my eyes. There was movement all around her and she could feel the breath of the Fearlings. The sound of their hooves and the smell of fear.
Then her body felt weightless as she glided in the shadows. It was natural at first but then she started to control her movements.
It felt amazing shifting and turning anywhere you wanted to. Alicia looked at herself and her eyes grew slightly wide.
Her body was shifting and turning like she wanted it to because it was black sand. She stopped and landed next to the globe. It took a while before her body went back to normal.
"Very good. Your first try, now you just have to practice" Pitch said with a smirk. She nodded. I'm going to rest for a bit and practice more later. She thought and he nodded.
Alicia quickly went to her room and sat on the bed. She opened and closed her hands, looking for any sign of black sand but found none.
She sighed. She knew that it had to be the doing of Pitch that brought her back. She let her head rest on the bed. She didn't know why he brought her back. Could it be of what happened in the past? But it was not such a big of a deal. Her thoughts tailed off...
