Chapter 10
Disclaimer: I do not own Rise of the Guardians or any of the characters
Alicia walked in a hallway of Pitch's lair towards her room. She sighed; I can't believe he'd think I'd harm his own kind! Unbelievable! Of all the things he could blame me for…
"How was your day?" Pitch asked with a smirk. I hate it when he's enjoying this. She thought and ignored him.
"Is something wrong?" He asked, the smirk still plastered on his face. Yes, your face. Alicia said and sat down on her bed.
Pitch chuckled darkly; "Feisty I see, that's good" Pitch said and Alicia rolled her eyes. Buzz off Pitch, I don't have time for your games. She said and Pitch chuckled again.
"But I do" He said and snapped his fingers. Alicia blinked a few times before she saw that she was in one of the cages that hanged from the ceiling.
Real creative Pitch. Now let me out. She thought to him but he was nowhere to be found.
"I need to set up a stage for the main event" Pitch said and appeared near his globe. Alicia raised an eyebrow, Main…event? She didn't quite catch what he was saying.
"Yes, you'll see. I must say I am surprised. For someone trying to kill you, he has strange ways" Pitch said and Alicia's eyes narrowed. What are you talking about Pitch? This isn't funny. She said.
"On the contrary, it's hilarious" He said. Before Alicia could yell at him he threw black sand at her face and she fell unconscious.
Pitch looked up and saw a beam of the moon shine in. "You confuse me old friend, you could've been the one to bring her back. She would've been the same but instead you sat back and made her suffer" Pitch sneered and turned away.
Alicia groaned and held her head as she sat up. I'm going to kick Pitch where the sun doesn't shine. She thought and looked around.
It was dark and she could see that she was in a forest, at night. She jumped in surprise when the moon shone on her and waited for the pain but none came.
Alicia looked strangely at her hands and then at the moon. This seems familiar.
Then there was a snap of a twig and her eyes shot towards the forest. She looked around warily for any sign of what that had been.
A pair of eyes appeared out of the darkness but they were strange.
They looked like a reptile's eye and glowed yellow. Then they suddenly turned red and an evil smile emerged. Her eyes widened with realization and she tried to step back.
The moon and its beam also turned red and started to burn her once more. He skin turned red with blisters and she winced. Not again!
She couldn't scream at the pain or escape the light. It burned her and a few tears slipped from her eyes. She tried to struggle but it was all in avail.
There was laughter of a woman's voice once again and this time it was clearer. The laugh and the yellow reptile eyes was the last thing she remembered before she went back into unconsciousness.
Alicia slowly opened her eyes and let her vision settle. What is that noise?! She thought after hearing shouts and…fighting?
She sprung up and looked around for any signs of fighting. Her eyes widened when she saw Pitch fighting Jack and Bunnymund. What in the world? She thought and saw she was still in a cage.
She sighed, Why? This is all just a setup! She thought and looked around for any signs of escape. Okay, let's try to cut it. I doubt it will work but okay. She brought her hands together and her eyes started to glow.
At the same time she saw Jack attack and she gasped. She fell on her knees in an incredible amount of pain in her chest and more directly her heart.
The more Jack attacked the more the pain increased. Wha-what's going on?!
She breathed hard. Why does it hurt so much? Argh I have to get out. She thought and slowly stood up. She put her hands in front of her and concentrated. She tried to ignore the pain in her chest and summoned the wind.
Don't fail me now. She though and with a burst of wind the bars were cut. Yes! She exclaimed but swallowed hard when she looked down. Oh no.
She gasped as she fell from the cage. Alicia stiffed and waited for contact but it was much softer than she had inspected. Alicia slowly opened her eyes and waited till her vision settled.
When it did Alicia felt her whole body warm up. The intense stare was back along with the intense pain in her heart.
"Ya okay Shiela?" Bunny asked and Alicia slowly nodded. Wait! I'm mad at him! She remembered and pushed him off.
She scoffed and turned her back to him. "My pleasure" He said in much sarcasm.
Alicia rolled her eyes. Thank you. She thought bitterly and looked up.
Alicia watched as Pitch swung his weapon at Jack who dodged it. Her eyes caught a glint of blue in his palm and her eyes widened.
Flashback
"I'm sorry about this Frost" She said and took his hand. The touch was burning and she grabbed his hand stronger burning through.
Alicia bit back a yell of pain as she forced the stone inside Jack's palm. As soon as she felt the stone inside him, she pulled her hand away
The vines that held Magic disappeared leaving her on the floor. She screamed in agony and Alicia saw
the rings glow. "What have you done?!" She yelled at her.
Before Alicia could answer back she fell to the ground gasping. Her whole body ran cold. She clutched her heart. It felt as if it was freezing and not long after that she was freezing.
End of Flashback
Her eyes grew wide in realization. Jack…
Jack snapped around and let his guard down for a second. Alicia saw this and ran towards him ignoring the yells from Bunny.
Her eye glowed bright when she saw Pitch swinging his weapon towards Jack. No!
