The Princess and the Guardian

Chapter 42

*Jack Frost*

We all gave them a confused look and were anxious to hear what they had to say. Although we can't possibly hate them more.

It hurts me that I felt bad for making Aqua feel bad but actually, they lied and they made us feel bad. We trusted them and everything yet they turn out to be related to the same man who took the love of my life away from me.

"We...we...we're so sorry. We only stood up for what we believed in and we still believe you should give us a chance to explain." Aqua started very nervous and yet...apologizing? She should.

"Do you promise to give us three, a chance to explain after we tell you the truth?" Eartha asked serious. Pitch tensed.

"Manny? Please. These girls have been waiting for this day hoping it won't be so hard for them. Give them a chance to explain instead of yelling at them or something like that." Pitch said hugging both girls close to him.

He protects them like a real brother. He isn't acting like the mean, scary, evil, ruthless Pitch I know. He's acting like a real brother should. Like I did to Emma. Protective, caring, nice, and much more. But why?

"Yes. I promise I won't say a word until your done explaining." Manny promised seriously.

"No one make a sound until they're done." He says to all of us. Kristoff was next to me and he was confused yet anxious. I drop my guard down and wait for them to start.

"When Pitch captured Anna and Elsa, they thought they were going to be taken somewhere like a dungeon." Eartha said. Aqua looked at her and seemed to understand something.

"But they were wrong. He took them to his home. He tried to earn their trust but didn't succeed...much. He gave them a room to stay in, clothes, food." Aqua continued but was looking at Pitch.

"When they first had their room their first thought was that they would get a chain room full of weapons or things to get beat up with." Eartha said and Manny tensed hard. I did too and so did Kristoff.

"Again, they were wrong. They had a room that almost looked like the ones in the castle. He didn't succeed much in trying to make the rooms look royal." Aqua chuckled with a little sadness.

"They were impressed that he tried to make them feel at home. He was even kind enough to let them take one luggage each filled with things they wanted to take with them. Important things to them." Eartha said looking at Manny in the eye.

Manny looked like he was about to cry but held it in.

"Yes, the next day when he thought he hadn't earned their trust. He bought them a little gift. An Iphone each with matching headphones. Since they weren't allowed to take their phones with them in case you tried tracking them." Aqua said looking at all of us.

"As the days went on, he took them shopping, took them wherever they wanted. He was like a second father/brother to them." Eartha said closing her eyes. It sounded like they were talking in third person.

"Although to take them out he changed their looks and aura so you would only see them as normal humans and not your daughters." Aqua said smiling sadly.

Manny looked at Pitch in disbelief and sadness while Pitch looked at him in a apology.

"Then one day a month ago your little Guardian here, paid them a visit without knowing it himself." Eartha said pointing to me. Manny looked at me confused. Even I was confused.

"He saw how they lived and only saw them as a happy family. He didn't think it would be necessary to tell you about a random family he came across with. Even you, Manny, might have seen them." Aqua said her hands shaking a little. She was nervous.

A family? That I never thought was necessary? Who?

"You might have seen them but not have known who they were, for we went sord of undercover. Me, Elsa, and Anna." Pitch said speaking for the first time since they started explaining.

"Pitch went as Ryan Denmoore, Elsa as Riley Denmoore, and Anna as Ramyra Denmoore. The Denmoore family lived in a small house in the town of Forks Washington as humans thought." Eartha said looking at me.

My eyes went wide in realization. I remember them! They were that family of three that lived in a big house in the Forest of Forks! I was standing in front of my snowflake and yet she said nothing!

"Why didn't they speak to me! Told me they were there and could see me!" I yelled and Manny looked at me trying to make me stay quiet. Aqua looked like she was about to cry.

"Because they saw how close they had become with Pitch over the last month and they knew that if they said anything Manny would have killed Pitch!" Eartha yelled at me in an almost crying face. Why are they crying?!

"Pitch didn't make them stay quiet! They chose it on their own! Pitch even asked them why they hadn't said anything when they had their chance to escape if they wanted to and they said they never wanted to leave his side! That they loved him like a real brother and they knew the consequences!" Aqua yelled at me her eyes almost releasing tears.

"Calm down." Pitch cooed in a whisper to her ear. It made me angry for some reason.

"Anyways, after you left things kept going the same as they were. They loved the Human World and they never wanted to leave it." Pitch said holding Aqua's hand so she could calm down.

"Pitch, Anna, and Elsa all shared their secrets and they were best friends/brother and sisters. They were inseparable. Pitch taught Anna and Elsa how to drive and how to cook. They felt like they could finally be themselves. Like they didn't have to act all princessy like and they could do what they wanted." Eartha said with so much emotions.

Manny raised his hand in permission to speak and Pitch nodded.

"I wanted them to have a good life. I gave them everything they wanted." Manny said sadly.

"Maybe they didn't want a private Salon in the castle, or a glow in the dark room or stuff like that. Maybe they just wanted their father." Aqua explained to him in a sad yet soft tone.

"Maybe they just wanted their father to understand them. To know that they wanted to be free and not have to act like someone they weren't. I mean they were but they didn't want to be." Eartha said smiling softly at Manny.

"I just have one question." Kristoff said speaking for the first time. Eartha's eyes quickly flashed to him.

"That is?" Pitch asked waiting for the question.

"Where do you two, Eartha Black and Aquamarine Black, come into this story?" Kristoff asked confused and everybody nodded waiting for an answer.

Their eyes all went wide. I could see in Aquamarine's eyes so many emotions. Scared, Nervous, Anxiety, Pain, and something that asked for forgiveness.

"Well......" Aqua started but she was getting nervous.

What are you hiding?
