Far Too Young

*Derek Code*

Pitch Black, I had heard so much about him yet I had never thought I would see him in front of my eyes. I looked immediately at Elsaira.

"Ah! My beautiful Princess! How nice to see you here." Pitch said and laughed. Elsaira had a hard serious expression. She didn't even look scared! Everyone got quiet and was crouching down trying to hide. I saw the guards immediately reach for every Royal and stand in front of them. Elsaira stepped out and held a hand out to stop the guards from holding her back.

"What is it that you need, Mr. Black?" Elsaira said calmly folding her hands together in front of her. By now she was standing up.

"Not even a flinch." Pitch chuckled ignoring her question. My brothers stood back a little. I couldn't bring myself to move.

"I've never been afraid of you, Mr. Black. You know that. I do however, insist you leave now." Elsaira said and smiled slightly, but it wasn't a genuine smile.

"Yes, well. Certainly, your sister thinks otherwise." Pitch said and his smile grew. Saira laughed but there was no humor in her laugh.

"You cannot do anything. Our fight is until I am 24. I'm still 16, we have 8 years to go. Please, don't start anything we have to end badly." Elsaira said shaking her head slightly yet remained calmness.

"No, I will not start anything. I just wanted to see how the town was doing?" Pitch said as he smiled looking down at us.

"Well you've seen them, you can leave now." Elsaira said yet I could tell she was losing her patience.

"What happened to that small little girl I finally met 8 years ago?" Pitch asked getting closer to her.

"She grew up. She still is. She's learning how to be a women and a future Queen." Saira said calmly.

"Words of advice, my dearest. One step at a time." Pitch said and laughed evily.

"I tried to be polite, but my patience is very tiring. Leave now or things will end up badly for you." Elsaira said with anger in her face.

"Alright alright, I'm leaving. But I will be back." Pitch said and laughed. He disappeared along with all the darkness.

The sky went back to its nice rainbow of soft colors from the sunset. Everyone stood up slowly as they tried to calm down. I looked at Elsaira and she was hugging her sister and her friend.

Elsaira started to walk my way. I knew she wanted to talk so I started walking down the stage and towards her. When we met I took Elsaira's hand and she gave me a smile of reassurance.

Suddenly I felt a small something bump into me. We looked down to see a small child that looked to be around 5 or 6 years old.

"Thank you for making the boogeyman go away, Princess." The child said and Elsaira smiled at him.

"Of course, my dear. I will always protect my people against the boogeyman. As long as I am alive, that man will never touch any of you." Elsaira said and crouched a little to touch the child's face. Suddenly a woman ran to us. She bowed down immediately at Elsaira. I was still getting used to this, being around Saira was a little weird for all the bowing and formal things.

"I am so sorry, your Royal Highness. My child ran from me, we didn't mean to disturb you and-" The woman said hurriedly once she stood up, the guards came immediately to take the woman and the child away, but Elsaira put her hand in the air signaling the guards to stop. They stood in their place next to her.

"It is quite alright. He does not bother me at all." Saira said and the lady nodded.

"May I get a picture? Of your Royal Highness and Derek holding my child?" The woman asked us and Elsaira nodded.
