Once Upon A December (Book 1)

Chapter 12-I Will Rescue You

Pitch's point of view
Her eyes close to sleep, little did she know of what I was doing, she slept on my shoulder, her lips holding a sleepy smile, I didn't let my nightmares touch a single long hair on her head, they didn't go anywhere near her, I commanded them to do so, protect and not touch, how can such a girl look so peaceful in her sleep?, I ask myself, she doesn't know who she is, but I do, her words about snow match her, she's so much more than a girl, so much more than unstable, so much more than broken and being healed with sleeping on my shoulder. She's someone I've been waiting to meet, if she really is the one I've been waiting to meet, for I don't know exactly who she is, but I know she's more than the girl she look like, I watch her calm and peaceful sleep, her breaths even and steady, her eyes closed gently to her sweet dreams, Sandy's dreamsand floated above her head, showing me what she dreamt, it showing Jack for a few seconds, but then it went to someone familiar, me?, She's dreaming about me?, I ask myself. As the dark figure played in her dreams, yet, I saw something, for the first time I saw what she saw in me, light, gentleness and care, this figure held her in his arms, a loving glow and spark in his eyes, this figure was me, it can't be, I deny, for I have no such light in my eyes, no such caring light she sees "she was right" I say to my nightmares protecting her, but quiet to not wake her calm sleep "she sees things other people can't" I say smiling as I watch her sleep.

Samantha's point of view
I woke up from my short nap, me not knowing what time it was since this cave was full of darkness and shadow, I woke up, me sleeping on a soft bed just my size in a small yet cozy room, a black but warm blanket wrapped around my once sleeping body and a soft pillow for my head, I woke up to feel clothes on my body, thinking it must've been my clothes, but when I looked down I saw I was wearing a black dress, one that looked like a nightgown, the bottom half flowed freely from my waist down and it was beautiful for it's peaceful and almost happy look. The sleeves being a dark gray with small designs and falling just above my wrist, the upper half of the gown successfully wrapped around my small waist, which was hard for most clothes and dresses, the dress was off shoulder, but I was comfortable wearing it, the low collar had small black butterflies imprinted as designs, my necklace being the only thing that wasn't black, I stared at the beautiful gown in awe though, Pitch, I thought sweetly as I got up from the bed, I walked my hair still loose and not wild from my nap, but I made sure to comb it out. I walked around the small room, seeing a mirror and a dresser right across the bed, I walked to it, seeing how I looked for just a second, my eyes had and unusual glow to them, something I didn't understand and wanted to find out what made the glow, but as I saw my eyes spark slightly, I remembered the boy who's eyes would do the same, always smiling in a kind almost loving way, how his lips would make smirks and small yet cute smiles. I shook my head from those thoughts, knowing if I kept thinking of him I would soon cry, I walked out of the room, me sticking out from the rest of the cave, everything black and dark saddening, but me I came out with a happy and white glow, deep my black clothes, Pitch stood in the center of the nightmares, petting one, that made the shape of a horse, on its mane of black flowing sand "hello, Pitch" I say, he turns to me, smiling at the sight of me "hello, Samantha, did you sleep well?" He asks. "Yes... Thank you for this gown" I say "you're welcome" he says "where dis you get it?" I ask "I made it for you while you slept" he answers with a small smile "really?" I ask amazed that he made light with his dark powers "ya, it was kinda hard but all I had to do was think good thoughts" he said with a small grin, my smile appearing on my lips as he said those words "why don't you stay here with the nightmares?" He suggests as my smile leaves making a confused look come on my face. "Why?" I ask "I need to go run an errand real quick" he answers "how do I know you won't hurt the guardians?" I ask "just trust me" he answers as he turns to go to the top of the cave, but stops before he leaves "stay here, my nightmares won't hurt you" he says calmly as I look up at him "I'm not worried about them" I admit, he turns back to me, putting his hands on my shoulder, looking right into my eyes with such care and gentleness fir his next words "I'll be back, I promise" he promises. "What if something happens" I say worried "I'll come back to you" he says as he lifts my chin to kiss my cheek, I stare at him dazed with wide eyes as he smiles at me, he turns to leave, leaving me with the protective nightmares "and I'll be waiting" I say in a whisper for him not to hear as I watch him go up the hole of his kingdom, a horse walks next to me, I smile at it, as I let him he reminds me of Pitch, dark on the outside, yet full of light and hope on the inside.

It's been a hour since Pitch left, but thankfully I have the nightmares to keep me company, I just sat there, petting the nightmare horses, I felt the urge to sing, I haven't sung in a while, knowing it would get me hurt, but with no one here, I started to sing, only me hearing the music "you are not hidden, there's never been a moment, you are forgotten" I sing "you are not hopeless, though you have been broken, your innocence stolen, I hear you whisper underneath your breath. I hear your SOS, your SOS, I will send out an army, to find you in the middle of the darkest night, it's true, I will rescue you" I sing beautifully as I ever sang, for this song was true for me "there is no distance, that cannot be covered, over and over, you're not defenseless, I'll be your shelter, I'll be your armor, I hear you whisper underneath your breath, I hear your SOS, your SOS, I will send out an army, to find you, in the middle of the darkest night, it's true, I will rescue you" I sang.
