[✅] The New Guardian

Chapter 12

{Ivy's P.O.V}

Suddenly,I heard a dark cackling. The workshop began to fill with dark sand again. I got up and looked around warily. Using my bare hands,I conjured a sword made of lightning and raised it in defence. Tooth readied her wings, Sandy prepared his sand whips, North got out his two swords and Bunny held his boomerang tightly. Jack flew in through the window at the moment, raising his staff. I smiled,seeing him before quickly wiping the smile off my face.

Suddenly, the dark sand began to materialize again and I, learning my lesson from the previous time, quickly use my sword to slice off Pitch's arm as he formed out of the sand. He let out a cry,grabbing the place where his arm had been and gave me a hard glare which made me feel something for a moment before I retracted my sword but still holding it at the ready.

That something...was fear.

I shook my head. I couldn't be afraid. If I was....Pitch would win.

"I'm back," Pitch sang,looking down at us from the globe.

"What. Do. You. Want. Pitch," I stated,giving him the coldest and hardest glare I could manage.

"Oh, there you are, Ivy," Pitch smirked. I hated it. Suddenly, Pitch began to disappear and appear around the workshop, his nightmares flooding the area. All of the guardians began fighting and I used my sword to slice through the nightmares, making them disappear.

I was about to press the crystal on my necklace to transform myself when I realized I couldn't do that. If Pitch saw me, he could possibly try and do something to me. Especially my necklace. I thanked heaven that the necklace, like my bracelet, couldn't be taken off me at all. My eyes wandered around the workshop,searching for Pitch.

Suddenly, before I could react, there was a black knife, seemingly made of sand, pressed to my neck. I drew in a sharp breath and held it momentarily. Pitch.

"Don't be afraid, dear. I can smell fear, you know." Pitch muttered against my ear. My whole body went rigid and I froze. My sword remained clenched in my hand and would be useful if the blade Pitch was holding couldn't kill me any second. "What do you say about, a deal?"

"I hate deals." I scoffed, hoping it didn't sound like I was frightened to death at that moment and spoke in the steadiest voice manageable.

"Hmm. Come join me, and I'll spare your life." Pitch continued. I hated him being so close to me and, well, everything about him. I kept silent for a while, making Pitch wait, then made my move.

"HELP!" I screamed with all my might, catching Pitch off guard and causing him to give me a tight and painful slap on my right cheek. I gasped loudly, feeling the stinging pain. That was going to leave a bruise. Fortunately, this managed to catch the guardians' attention and all of them turned to look at me, mortified.

"IVY!!" Jack yelled and broke the silence first."Let her GO, Pitch!"

Pitch cackled and I could feel his disgusting breath on my face. I gritted my teeth. If I could transform right there and then, I would have done so and kicked Pitch where-the-sun-don't-shine. I'm sure my heels would've hurt.

"Why should I?" Pitch laughed evily."What wonderful use she could be to me! She's perfect for my sidekick and I'm sure we'd do a wonderful job taking over the world together."

"Let her go now!" Tooth yelled, flying up to stop Pitch, but a nightmare blocked her way and pushed her back. North and Bunny frowned and Sandy held his whips ready. I could only look at the guardians pleadingly, the black sand knife threatening to cut into my neck at any moment. My heart paused for a while.

"How about...No." Pitch said, cackling. Suddenly, I was whisked off my feet and a scream escaped my lips. I found us flying away from North's workshop, Pitch holding me by my hoodie. Then, all I heard was Jack's voice shouting my name before all I saw was darkness.

{Pitch's P.O.V}

I flew back to my lair quickly and looked for an empty cage. I found one in the top corner and opened it before throwing Ivy inside. She had blacked out due to panic.

I cackled to myself. It wasn't exactly my plan to capture Ivy. I was thinking of just scaring the guardians one more time and, hopefully, weakening them, but just as I was coming, I heard Jack Frost talking to Man in the Moon.

"Manny, I know I might seem a little confused,but about Ivy...she makes me feel...happy. And she..well,she's funny and all that. I can feel myself blushing sometimes when I see her...but why? Tell me why. Because...I don't understand what I'm feeling right now," Jack muttered.

I laughed. Jack's little crush just made it easier for me and Ivy calling for help was unexpected, but convenient.

"Well, well, well, let's see when little Jackie will come to rescue his damsel in distress," I said, laughing again.
