The Secret Guardian

part 1

It had been three years after pitch lost yet again to the guardians, and even though he was swooped away by nightmares it didn't mean he was gone for good. No, right now he was plotting away in his lair, that's all he pretty much did. Although, he couldn't come up with one single thing to plot his revenge. Night mares no longer listen to him anymore, and he was low on power to pull off anything. He looked at the children of the map how they all glowed, believing so brightly. He growled and storm off to the surface to watch the children.
The kids were all happily playing and having fun in the snow, some helping their families with decorations as Christmas was nearly there. He sigh as he walked around through snow trying to find something interesting that could help him. That's when he spotted a kid telling a story to other kids. He walked up to listen.
"The beast was huge!!" the kid barked as he show them with his hands. "It's roar was so loud that it shook me awake! And when I look to see it standing there it came at me. It was like waking from a nightmare to witness another nightmare. It had curly sharp pointed horns, pitch black fur, red glowing eyes, and a mouth full of sharp scary teeth!" he barked some of the kids looked scared.
"Oh?" pitch looked intrigued by this, what was this creature he spoke of? It was bringing fear to the kids, he could feel it.
"And the darkness was so heavy around it I couldn't hardly see it I couldn't help but be afaid, it looked like it was going to eat me or something! So I yelled for my parents! That's when it backed away and disappeared into the closet." As he finished, another kid got behind the other kids giving a roar scaring the younger ones. Both crackled. The older kids bark at them that it didn't happen as they comfort little kids he scared. Pitch lost interest when he finished, and he started to think hard about what he said, his eyes widen when he realized.
"the monster in the closet..." he muttered before he quickly went back into his shadows. He headed straight back to his lair. Once there pitch went straight to a book shelf deep in his lair, with tons of warn out books on it. He skimmed them before pulling out a book. He looked it over, on the cover was a vicious beast, and it was tilted The Monster In The Closet. Pitch skimmed through it. It told of how the monster in closet lives to put fear into kids, scaring them awake causing them to cry or scream. How it fears adults, it always disappearing or running away when they enter the room. It also warn adults that it could try to take their kids away if they weren't careful.
Pitch smiled, he found someone, something that he could use to bring a new dark age. Though he needed to find away to find it, find their weakness to get it to side with him. He put the book up and went to plotting.

Now is this monster in the closet real? Oh it is, but it's nothing like people say or pitch thinks. Deep in Alaska, it lives in eerie moutian that is to dangerous for anyone to climb. The only way to reach it's home is by a cave at the bottom of the mountain. The cave is full of nightmares at every corner, if you're brave enough to go in and you believed in the monster, you'd find a exit in the far back. That exit lead to a huge opening inside the mountain, with a overgrown garden, and a rustic cabin hidden within the garden. The cabin was long and a one story, but when you went inside it, it was enormously, huge. It was much bigger then how it looked on the outside, with more then one floor. The first floor was like a one story house with a messy livingroom, a open kitchen, a sad looking dining room, and a hall that lead to a bathroom and a bedroom. In the living space was a open stairway that lead to the next floor, it had it's own balcony that showed off rows and rows of walls, each wall covered in just doors one after the other. Each door looked uniquely different. You then could see more floors above with the same look.
Yes the monster in the closet lived here, but it doesn't look like something you might be expecting.
One of the doors swung open and a cloaked figure bounded out and quickly shut the door. The figure had their head against the door dressed in a hooded cloak, with the hood up eye. Very slowly they removed their hood down reviling what look like to be a young female adult with her eyes closed. She looked maybe around nineteen or twenty. She had light peach skin, long black hair pulled in a low ponytail, with most of it laying over her shoulder.
She pulled away from the door with a sigh as she open her eyes. When her eyes open you could see that they were a deep green color. She slowly walk away from the door looking depressed. She soon stop in her tracks to look at her hands, they were scruffed up and had claws, same with her bare feet. Under the cloak she wore ash gray torn pants that stop at her knees, a red and yellow top that look a bit oriental, and a blue cloth scarf wrapped around her waist. She always looked worried or sad. She had been living here alone, for 300 years, or so, she lost count years ago. She sigh walking to the railing jumping over it, then drop down from the forth floor to the first floor, landing on her feet with ease. She looked outside towards the moon, listening to it.
This girl's name is rose, she has been a secret guardian for as long as she could remember. Even though she never felt like one ever. Nether does she believes it every time the man in the moon tells her so. She walk towards the bathroom as she removed her cloak.
"You're a guardian, he says...well...I DON'T FEEL LIKE ONE!" she barked towards the moon. She stopped in the hall as she looked at a broken mirror in on the wall, at her broken reflection. "I bring fear, not hope, not wonder, not fun, not one shread of happiness. Just tears and bruises.." she stared, she growled and clinched her fist before punching the mirror breaking it more. She looked at her now more broken reflection fighting tears. She then slowly went to her knees, thinking about how this all happend.

It was after she died, she woke laying trap in rubble, feeling a brightness against her, and a voice telling her everything was going to be okay. She lay there relaxed, before she realized, remembering. Rose pushed off the rubble getting free and quickly stood. She looked around standing in the rubble of a burnt down building.
"Am I...dead?" she looked up at the sky seeing the moon it was bigger then she remembered, brighter too. "Wait what?...guardian? What do you mean?..." she just stared at it confused, not realizing she was strangely talking to the moon. She sniffed smelling something off, something rotten. "What is that?..." she looked around following the stench, it would drive her nuts if she didn't try finding it. She ran pretty fast as she searched leaping over opsticals, and soon she finally found it.
There flying around was a fearling. "Huh?...that's kind of cute..." she went to try and touch it. The moon shined on her stopping, and warning her about it. "A fearling? What on earth is a fearling..." She looked at the moon before back at it. It started to fly away, and she started following it. It got to someone's home, going through a window to a sleeping child. She walk over and peek in watching it go inside the child. She climb into the kids room looking at them with a tilt head, something felt wrong. The child looked terrified, like it was having a intense nightmare. She reached to touch them, to wake then, but her hand went through them. She froze eyes wide. "Wait...what..." she stared, the kid started to struggle with the dream, they couldn't wake up. "Hey wake up!" that didn't work, she could feel that this was really wrong. "Hey can you hear me you need to wake up!" still nothing. She growled as she slowly grew into a pitch black beast with horns, red glowing eyes, and a snout full or sharp teeth. "WAKE UP!!" she roar, her roar shaking the room. The kid shot awake screaming, they huffed before looking at her. They screamed again, crying they were very afraid of her.
"Don't eat me!!"
"N-no...I wo-" their parents bursted in, their mother screaming when she sow her. Rose freaked. "W-wait!" the dad quickly left before coming back with a pitch fork.
"Get away from our daughter!" He boomed going at her. Rose freaked dogging, and running to the nearest door, the closet. She quickly opened it, and dived in before shutting it. She held the door shut huffing, she forgot, people hated this side of her, they wanted her dead before. But...she was dead right? Then how did they see her? She slowly went normal as she teared up eyes wide. She slowly slid down against the door as she looked around to see more doors all different. She started crying, she was so confused and scared.

That's how this all happend. Now days nothing changed beside her learning her purpose more, to give fear so children would wake from a never ending night terror. She also learned about the other guardians, but made mim hide her from them. Why? Well, why wouldn't she? They brought happiness, she brought tears and fear. "I'm no guardian..." was all she thought.
But, all of that was about to change. Rose looked towards a world map of the believing children, that was on the back wall of the hallway. It was just like the other guardians glob. She watched the lights before she sow a child having a night terror. She let out a sigh and got up, heading there, grabbing and putting on her cloak as she did. She went to the third floor, and got to a door on the first row of doors. It was pink with angel wings on it. She let out a deep breath before opening it, walking in, as she slowly went beast. She then frozed. There trying to wake the child was none other then toothina, also known as the tooth fairy. Rose gulped.
"HOLY SHIBBLETS!" She freak in her head.
