Light in my Dark

Chapter 12: Meet the Stallions

((Read through and saw this didn't update either. Sorry about that!))

Eve's POV:

I slowly felt myself wake up. I had some pain in my head but nothing that wouldn't heal in time. I went to open my eyes but the pain in my head got more intense. I signed and tried to figure out where I was by my other senses. I smelled something like dirt or sand all around me. Guess that there are Nightmares around me. I could hear them whinny and a dark chuckle. Father, I was in his lair.

"Wakey wakey little spirit." I heard Pitch call.

"I'm awake, sad that your voice is the first thing I hear." I replied.

I heard him groan in annoyance and walk closer to me. I just smirked and opened my eyes slightly. I know what he's planning and I just need to buy some time for the others to get here.

"Why are you coming closer? I could see you perfectly fine over there." I asked innocently.

He just smirked and held a hand to my cheek. I didn't flinch away, I just stayed still. He looked into my green hazel eyes and focused on the slim line of gold in them.

"You have me with you, same holiday, same blood, same gold in your eyes. Did you really think that being brave could stop me?" He smirked, holding my face in both hands.

I jolted slightly to try and get out of his hold. I maybe slightly scared of him but I was more scared of what he would do to the kids. I guess the guardians are rubbing off on me. I care more about the children than my own safety.

"Being brave doesn't need to stop you," I started seeing Jack coming through the top.

"It just needed to stall you!" Jack finished.

Pitch looked over and saw that Jack had come and I saw Bunny coming behind me. He was untying the rope on the chair. I smiled and looked back at Bunny. He was wide eyed and ready to fight if Jack needed help. I looked back over at Jack and Pitch, they were hitting eachother with powerful hits and it wasn't phasing any of them.

"Bunny, they seem to be in stailmate. Go and help him, I'll be fine." I told Bunny and he went to fight.

I closed my eyes and tried to concentrate on the dark. Making myself invisable, I slipped through the ropes and into some of the shadows. I stayed out of the way of the fight and just close to where I could still see it and help if I was needed. I don't know why I was scared to fight but I just couldn't go up and fight too.

The others soon came and it looked like Pitch was loosing. I smiled and made myself visable to them all. Pitch looked at me and an evil smile came to his face. I looked at the guardians with confusion like them. Pitch came over to me and grabbed my face again.

"Eve, why aren't you fighting me? Do you still care for your dear dad?" Pitch coo'ed.

"No, I just-" I cut myself off.

I didn't know and that was scaring me. I could feel something cold wrapping around my ankles and going up my legs. The guardians were calling for me but I couldn't heard them. I looked around and saw some of the moonlight coming in from the hole.

"Please be brave Evie." Sophie's small voice rang in my ears.

I looked up and calmed my breathing. I looked over to the Nightmares and they came over to me, ready to attack. I looked them in the eyes and help up my hand. I don't know where this burst of bravery came to me but, it made the NIghtmares stop for a second.

"Attack her you idiots!" Pitch commanded.

"Sit," I commanded to the Nightmares.

They all sat down where they were. I looked at the guardians and smiled. They looked shocked that the Nightmares would listen to me and not Pitch. I looked back at the dark horses and saw one of them edge closer to me. I held out my hand lovingly and when it touched my hand, it turned orange and ran over to its friends.

"What?!" Pitch yelled as all of his Nightmares turned orage and came over to me and the Guardians.

"What's wrong dad? Scared of your dear little girl?" I smirked.

Some of the nightmares ran to him and held him still while others were making a crack in the floor. Pitch was dragged into the newly created crack and I walked over to it.

"Pitch Black, you will stay here from now until the end of time. There will be some of my Stallions at this crack at all times so don't try to escape." I commanded, re-naming the nightmares to something with more honor to its name.

About 10 Stallions stayed here while the rest of them plus the guardians and I left. I smiled up at the moon. I was happy to be free of Pitch. Once and for all.
