Last Winter

Ch.3-The Voices

Pitch had no belief in the mythical creatures of the old legends. The devils pets included. Wolves are very superstitious and believe if you even utter their name they shall show themselves. They have disappeared a long time ago. That's what father said but maybe they never existed. Father goes on and on about the creatures of old but why learn about dead things when you can do more important stuff! 'Because.' Father would start a lecture on how it was important. But truthfully Pitch never listened to anything after because Pitch! And that is how Pitch found himself drifting off to sleep. "Pitch don't fall asleep." Snow whispered. "Why not snowflake? The the Night Mare gonna get me?" Pitch grumbled. Night Mare was another creature of old. She was said to be a stallion black as night, her eyes like two black holes that where said to suck the happiness out of young pups dreams. See the Night Mare had a grudge against wolves. They had banished her along with her herd to the stars because they caused havoc amoung heaven and hell. Ever since banishment she has sent his minions to bring bad dreams to pups. And hence the name nightmare. "No. I just have a... Feeling that you shouldn't sleep." Snow said. The little runt was hiding something! "And how did you get that feeling?" He asks. "Just forget it than. Don't listen to me fine! Go to sleep see if I care, but if something happens in your sleep don't say I didn't warn you!" She snaps. "Good night then!" He snaps back. Snow growls in frustration and turns back to father. With out any more interruptions pitch went back to falling asleep. He soon fell asleep and was just thinking about the thing they call his sister. She seemed to never let him be! It suited one of fathers old sayings quite well. "Speek of the devil!" He started. "And he shall come." A voice finished his thought. "Who's there?" Pitch growled. The was ansered by only by a chuckle that seemed to come from everywhere at once. "Well I'm not Night Mare, I can tell you that. What is it with pups and being hasty!" The voice laughed. "WHO.ARE.YOU?!" Pitch growled louder. "A voice." It laughs. "A voice that's in your head. Whispering comands that you find yourself doing. A voice that drives you crazy and messes with your Mind.Twists your thoughts. Has you cowering in a corner. Makes you turn on family. Makes you lose trust. And slowly. Slowly drives you insane." The voice gets softer very time it utters something. Until it whispers the last part. "A voice only you can hear. The thing that will drive away any other creature so your all alone. And that's when you'll start to listen. That's when your a shell of who you are. That's when the real fun starts." Pitch shudders making the thing laugh. "See I have already started to mess with you. You already fear me." It growls. "I do not fear you." Pitch yowled. "That's a lie. And liars are punished are they not? Well that's fine I can punish you. Not now no. In a year to the day. That's when the life you know falls apart." "Why do you not show yourself! Why do you not show me who you are! Because only a coward hides behind a voice trying to scare a pup! You are nothing but a coward!" Pitch yells. "And you are nothing but a fraud! One that belittles his sister only because he is afraid she might be better than him!" It bellows. "But atleast she sees my face when I scare her and tease her!" Pitch howls. "Atleast she sees that I am the wolf that hurts her. That I'm the one she fears. Not some voice. Atleast I give her something to fear. I. Am. Not. Afraid. Of. You!" Pitch emphasizes each word. "Because dear voice, you are nothing. And I can't fear nothing." Pitch sneers. The voice chuckles then laughs. Then is having a laugh attack. "I chose well." It laughs. "You'll be a great student." "Student?" Pitch questions. "Why yes pup. Student. I am going to train you. Train you to become killer a wolf with no heart I'm going to train you to become my successor. That was a test pitch. And you defenetly passed it." The voice says. "Well that was a crappy way to ask?" Pitch muttered. "It wasn't crappy it was brilliant!" The voice says. "Isn't someone full of himself." Pitch snickered. "We'll now that we are buddy buddy. Lets get down to training." The voice laughs. "How can I fight a voice?" "You won't be fighting a voice smart one." It says sarcastically. "Then what will I be fighting?" "Me." It says stepping out of the shadows. Pitch gasped at what he saw.
