Black In Black

Open Your Eyes, Please See The Light

Pitch kneeled on the floor and mumbled into his hands. He knew this day would come but.. why now? she had 9 months till her last birthday, she still had time with him.

"Damn you, Old Man, Damn you.." He mumbled. He was glad she was sleeping, He'd hate for her to see him like this. He'd hate to explain. He spent twenty minutes cursing at the old man before standing. He had to wake Ellie and.. and explain. He had to do it eventually, and she's probably going to be mad when he does. But.. it had to be done. it was their deal, the deal between Him and the Man In The Moon.

He slowly walked to her room, taking a sharp breath before clicking the door open.

"Sweetheart, wake up, I have something to--" Pitch froze. she was gone. "Sweetheart?" He called, louder so if she was anywhere through out the maze of stairs she would hear him. When he received no answer he knew she was gone.

Rushing to the surface, he searched the forest area around the hole, knowing she wouldn't go far. then he stumbled upon a odd, sleigh like tracks.

He then pulled his hands into fists and yelled into the snowy tracks. "Damnit, Old Man, how could you let them take her before I-" his voice broke and he looked desperately up at the sky,  is face distorted in pain. "-before I could say goodbye..."

Ellie's POV

The group from my dream Took me to their sleigh that they arrived in and helped me climb in. I went to sit but saw thick scratch marks in the wood, looking like they belong to the big bunny guy. Instead, I climbed up to the back and made sure I was ready to receive some loops like the big guy said earlier.

I don't even know why I climbed in, or walked with them to this extravagant sleigh. But I had the dream about them.. including me. I felt like I was meant to.

Dad would be pissed. Actually no, pissed would be an understatement. He would be ready to rip heads off to get me back home. Seriously, he wouldn't hesitate if that was between him and me.

I sighed. I should have told him before I left. I can't leave him again like when we fought last year. I know that tore him apart. I remember coming home and the hole was sealed, Nightmares running a muck throughout the forest. I have to fit rid of them all before I could get to dad.

"So uh, what's your name? I'm Jack, Jack Frost." I was jolted out of my thoughts as the boy with white hair spoke, feeling the sleigh take off from under us.

"Ellie Pitchiner. " I said quietly, giving him a small smile. He saved my life after all.

He leaned on the edge of the sleigh, like the heavy wind didn't bother him. "Well, its nice to meet you. Let's see. that's Bunny," He pointed to the huge furry guy who currently was gripping the wood like a lifeline. "He doesn't like riding the sleigh." I heard Bunny scoff at Jack. " Then there's Tooth and her toothfairies," The fairy like woman waved happily, her fairies flying around her busily. One took a detour and sat on Jacks shoulder. "and Baby Tooth, I didn't forget you." He laughed at the little fairy. "And here we have Sandy and the one driving is North. " the gold guy silently waved and the big, burly guy boomed a happy hello to me ,although he had his back to me.

I watched curiously as he dug in his huge coat and pulled out a sparkling orb. he said something to it, I couldn't hear what over the wind. he then threw the orb in front of us and a portal opened before us. before I knew it we were through and onto the other side. soft snowy trees turned to climbing mounds of fresh, undisturbed snow, with us steadily approaching a castle-like structure built into the mountain.

"Where at we?" I asked Jack, who was smirking at the structure.

"This, this is The Pole." I couldn't help smiling with him. his smile was contagious and in a good way.

We later dismounted the sleigh wand I was led to a grand room, with the center housing a huge globe, much like my father's but much bigger.

North waved his hands up to his face and.. elves? What were they, elves? They all scattered forwards him, along with big furry guys who must me yetis or something. One, carried a thick book.

The elves had found instruments and began playing, and better then I thought. The yetis played too, but mostly they carried large torches and lit them.

suddenly one yeti picked me up and set me down in the center of the chaos. As I was about to protest, elves swarmed me and tried lathering me in these flower necklaces and flower crowns. After I was thoroughly uncomfortable, I saw North take the big book from the one yeti and open it up. He cleared his throat loudly, and the music died.

"It is time for you, Ellie Pitchiner, to take the oath." North opened his mouth as if he was going to continue, but I beat him to it.

"Wait wait wait, oath for what?" I stared at North, hoping this to be over soon. All this floral stuff was extremely flammable.

"Well, to be a Guardian, of course," Buzzed Tooth, who was between North and Sandy.

"What if I don't want to be a Guardian? What if I'm not it cut out for it? Trust me, I'll do more damage then good." I peeled the flower and leaf necklaces off me and dropped them on a elf.  "I'm dangerous, I don't belong around kids."

"Of course you do! Man in Moon chose you." Boomed North.

"Well what if he's wrong? why would he choose someone who's a walking time bomb? At any time I could loose control again and.. and.. hurt people. Why but me near kids?" I argued. It'd be stupid of me to do this. Become a Guardian. I belong back at home, with Dad, who was probably reeking havoc looking for me.

North sighed and closed the book, handing it back to the yeti. "Ellie, come with me." He said softly, and so I followed. I noticed no one else did, but stayed behind. Where was he taking me? We stepped into a wooden elevator that went down to a colorful floor where yetis were making toys and elves were pretty much just in the way. as we stepped out one ran under my leg and I almost fell right on my ass. I caught myself by grabbing the door of the elevator.

"C'mon, keep up," North said lightheartedly, looking over us shoulder to me. I scurried over behind him, looking all around at the things flying around and the toys on the tables being made by the yetis. Ice sculptures of the toys stood on the edges of tables.

Soon we came to a large door. North opened it and help it open for !e, and closed it sharply behind me. "I could give you the speech that I gave Jack," He said suddenly. "But I think you already know your center."
