Guardian of the Remembered (Rise of the Guardians fanfic) *DISCONTINUED*

Pitch Black (Chapter 4)

"Pitch! You've got thirty seconds to return my fairies!" Tooth yells, charging towards pitch, but he disappears before she can get to him.

"Or what?" Pitch taunts. "You'll stick a tooth under my pillow?"

"Why are you doing this?" North asks, stalking towards the sound of pitch's voice.

"Maybe I want what you have- to be believed in"

La'Murte glances over to Jack, wondering if he would react to it.

"Maybe I'm tired of hiding under beds."

"But it's where you belong," bunny snapped.

"Ah go suck an egg, Bunny," Pitch retorted.

La'Murte glared daggers at Pitch, "Por qué no apestas- (why don't you suck-)" 

"La'Murte" Bunny interrupted.

Pitch disappears hanging upside down, but then disappears again.

"Hold on, is-is that Jack Frost?" He asks.

"No it's Frosty the snowman," La'Murte sarcastically replies.

Pitch glares at her, then continues to talk. "Since when were you all so chummy?"

"We're not," Jack says.

"Oh good-" Pitch reappears in the middle or a column, "A neutral party, so I'm gonna ignore you. *snickers* But, you must be used to that."

"Pitch! You sneaky little rat bag! Come here!" Bunny goes after pitch but yet again he disappears.  He moves to another pillar and tooth spots him, she takes one of bunny's boomerangs and charges towards him.

"Ahhhhh!"

Before she can get to him however, a nightmare comes from behind him. Tooth falls back.

"Woah hey girl easy," Pitch soothes the nightmare, twirling some of the black sand in his hand. He looks towards Sandy, "Look familiar ey Sandman? Took me a while to perfect this little trick, turning dreams into nightmares."

Pitch notices the guardians faces, "Oh don't be nervous, they smell it"

"What fear? No ones been afraid of you since the dark ages." La'Murte says.

"Oh, the dark ages." Pitch says, remembering the past. 

A parent and her two children huddle around a campfire, screaming as they see a shadow resembling pitch.

"Everyone frightened, oh the power I wielded." Soon his power eating grin turns into a snarl, "But the man in the moon chose you to replace my fear with your wonder and light!" 

North's sleigh flies across the moon. Tooth and her fairies fly by as Sandy's sand is flowing around in the sky in a vine like pattern. Bunny hopping across rooftop to rooftop. And La'Murte's marigolds dancing across the midnight skies.

"Lifting their hearts and giving them hope!" Pitch continues, "Meanwhile, everyone wrote me off as just a nightmare! "Oh there's nothing to be afraid of!" "There's no such thing as the bogey man!"

Pitch looks at all of the guardians in disgust, "Well that's all about to change."

Behind Pitch one of the columns start to crumble.

"Look, it's already started"

Jack looks around confused. "What? What's happening?"

"Tooth..." La'Murte whispers, placing a reassuring hand on Tooth.

"Children are waking up realizing the tooth fairy never showed up." Pitch narrates, "I mean, such a little thing, but to children-"

"What's going on?" Jack asks again.
