Act I.Dare to Hope (A ROTG/GOC Fanfiction)

.Chapter V.

Set on a few days after Pitch's 'death'

Ernaline roared in anger,and slammed her fist against the table,tears-once in a blue moon-poured down her cheeks like a waterfall,everyone was mourning over Pitch's 'death'.Well,everyone in the council was,they blamed the mighty,heroic Guardians for his 'death',they knew they couldn't stop Pitch,but they could.Could.It should've been should!They could've talked to Pitch about joining their side!Everyone stayed away from the furious spirit,or rather,Death,she threw all her items off her work table,crying in rage all the time.She hated the Big Fo-no,Five,even more then before.

The weapons on her fingers grew into claws,black,inky claws;merging with each other.She has rather become,a horrid sight for anyone to see,her eyes were red and her voice was hoarse from crying.She laughed,a cold,empty laugh,with her claws on her face,like she was going to tear it off.They didn't know anything about Pitch,he was a broken man with broken dreams not even overseen by The Sandman.Grace was silent,Venom was angered,Moors was more sadder,Fail and Cabier were shocked.Grace sat her garden,she let her hood down,revealing bloodshot eyes with wet cheeks,her eyes filled with emptiness starting at the flowers.She couldn't believe it,oh could

Venom was at the Pitch's lair,stating at the closed hole,like he could change fate with the sheer force of his eyeballs.His eyes was now turned into slit,fixating his sad stare at the hole.It was removed like Pitch never existed,he placed a black rose down,it had been Pitch's favorite out of all the colorful flowers,which he describe as an 'eyesore'.He pleaded to the Moon,begged and cried,...only to received empty silence.Moors cried,he isolate himself from his own friends,his eye would have black bags underneath them,signaling he had been staring,watching at his memories of Pitch.This wasn't the first time that happened,but this was different,they had no communication to Pitch,meaning they didn't know what happen.

Fail and Cabier stayed shocked,letting a few tears drop from their eyes.Fail had thrown tantrums and even destroyed the court area,which was now in ruins and smithereens.They screamed till they had no voice,they cried till' there was no tears to spare.While the Guardians were celebrating their victory,'The Council Of Evil' was mourning for their ally,no,Pitch was more than that their friend.Yet,the Guardians seemed to see Pitch's death was a victory!And thus,the curse of his mirror began to form.The Guardians,always so sure of their powers,their centers,had never known of the nightmares that plagued them.

For how could one see the wonder in their world when apathy shows us only bleakness and grey?

How can a dream be adored,when anxiety crushes it to dust?

How could hope exist when depression shows us life's futility?

How can our fondest memories ever overtake our deepest trauma?

And how is there fun when worry and paranoia keeps us occupied?

It was said that fear was our enemy in life,but it is fear that shows us our courage,that keeps us alive and aware of the true horrors of the world.But against the Nightmares before us there is no courage,nothing overcoming fear.There was nothing but a void.It was also Pitch's fault too,he was foolish to think that fear could rule the world.'If they had talked to Pitch,to convince him,maybe..,maybe he won't be in that blasted cage!'Ernaline thought as she raked her claws onto the wall,leaving a mark.'Maybe..maybe he would be with his daughter,watching butterflies and the Moon!Maybe he could have gotten well with The Sandman,or even had a nice chat with Toothiana just like he did to Grace.Maybe he would be delivering coal to naughty children..or Aster would be fussing about how he uses dark colors to paint his eggs...ye-no,he was stuck in that awful,lonely,cage!'Ernaline thought,looking at her palms,which was soaked in her own blood.

Those were just broken dreams by a broken man,she sobbed...and sobbed...for hours until she realized something.Something possible.She needed to save him,he couldn't save himself,no one in their right mind would do so,except 'The Council Of Evil'.They wanted to save him from that empty cage.

No,

The needed to.

No matter how much it will take.
