Rise of The Guardians Fanfic

Chapter 19- Three more days

Scarlet's Pov

I cannot last much longer.

This is the second day. I have three more days to live. Then Pitch will kill me.

I wanted him to kill me. The pain was too much for me. And the nightmares are too great and powerful for me to resist.

I wondered how Jack was holding up. Was he here still? Was he ok?

They haven't found Jack's staff yet. And Pitch decided that I was to blame. So he has been punishing me.

I have begged Pitch to kill me. But he refuses to. He says that he must stay true to his word and wait for the final day.

So now I spend my time laying on my side. I have to force myself to sleep during the day in order to pass time. It doesn't always work. Pitch's grip on my mind sometimes refuses to let me sleep.

And what is worse is that only one person believes in me. Leo. After all, he is my brother. But when Pitch kills me, he will be there and stop believing in me. And once no one believes in a guardian, they fade slowly and then they are gone forever.

But I know that Pitch has plans for me.

He wants me to give into his request and join him and use my powers for evil. But I have made it clear. I would rather die than join him. 

Over the past day and also today. I have been losing my strength. Each element faded and died and therefore takes energy from me. Yesterday was water. Today was Earth. I know fire will be tomorrow. Fire is my strongest but we all breath air and therefore I will lose that last. 

Then Pitch will have me at my weakest. Killing me will be almost too easy. 

I have only a shred of hope that the guardians will save me like the first time. It was a tiny shred but it was all I had left. So each and every day, I hold onto it.

"Why the long face?"

I looked up and I saw Pitch standing in front of me. His golden eyes gleamed and his smile beamed down at me.

"You know. I'm worried that my guests won't be here in time for the big show." He said.

I stared at him with hate and anger. 

"Perhaps I should give them a map so they will make it here on time." Pitch paced my cell, and he grinned.

"Three more days. It seems not that far away when you think about it." He said.

I thought he was going to leave when he turned. But instead he bent down and grabbed my neck with his hand. He stood and pulled me to my feet. He looked into my eyes and he grinned.

"There's something different about you." He said.

I gasped for air and Pitch grinned and he said "Tell me little guardian. What is it?"

I looked at him and he said "You use to have blue eyes. They are now a grey. And your body has dimmed to a grey as well. Clothes and skin."

He smiled and said "Are you losing your elements?"

I looked away and his voice whispered into my ear and he said "That is it isn't it?"

I closed my eyes and felt tears slip down my face and I gave a nod.

Pitch laughed and let go of my throat. I fell to the floor and remained upright in the corner.

"This is fantastic! I must tell our guests of this news!" He said.

Then he turned and he left my cell. 

Jack's Pov

Pitch thought that it'd be funny if he stuck me in cage and hung it up all the way to the roof.

Personally, I was more annoyed and didn't think it was funny at all.

But now that I am stuck up here. I am unable to see Scar. 

I was worried about her.

She is the strongest person I know but even in the hands of Pitch, I know that she cannot last much longer. 

I was thinking of this and then out of a sudden. My cage jerked and jumped. Then it started to go down. 

After a few seconds, I came into view with Pitch's face.

"What do you want?" I growled.

"Now, there's no need to be rude." He said.

I frowned and glared at him.

"I'd thought you'd like to hear the latest news with our little element guardian." He said.

"What have you done to her now?!" I said.

He grinned and said "It would seem that she is losing her elements one at a time."

What?!

She's....losing her elements?

What does this mean?
