Pitch's P.o.V
I finally have Evelyn at her weakest. Now I can finally end this. I tower over her as she tries to scoot away. Suddenly, a beam of light separates us, a figure starting to appear. I see parts of its face and recognize it immediately.
Everything stops. How is this possible? The beam starts to fade, leaving her in front of me. A stare at her. A face I haven't seen in centuries. A face that made me want to seek revenge. A face that should have stopped me. I finally see her again.
"Hello, John." she says sweetly. "I have missed you."
"Meredith?" I breathe. "Is that really you!?"
She smiles, tears forming in her eyes, "Yes, darling, it's me." She takes my hand and squeezes it. I look at our hands, holding one another as if we'd never been separated. I pull her close to me and kiss her.
The last time I felt her lips against mine was the day she died.
The village we lived in was being attacked. All of the women and children were fleeing while the men fought the invaders. Meredith wouldn't leave.
*Flashback*
"Meredith, you have to go! For Henry!" I cry, the fires close to us.
"I will not leave you here, John! I cannot live without you!" she cries back. Henry begins to cry in his crib.
"Nor can I, my love, but you and Henry must leave now! The invaders will be here any minute! When they get here they will kill all of us! Please, darling, you must go!" I say, taking Henry out of his crib.
I kiss his forehead and hand him off to Meredith, tears pooling in my eyes. She looks up at me, tears streaming from hers. She kisses me one last time, pulls up the hood of her cloak, and says one last thing.
"Of all the ones to love, you I love most of all."
"And with that love, we shall not fear, for love will take me to you, dear." I recite.
"And once you found the path to me, no dark shall ever fall." she says.
"For all the ones to love, I love you most of all." we finish together. The poem my family has recited for centuries before. She gives me one last glance, then runs out.
*End of Flashback*
I fought after that. I saw one of the invaders rounding up a group of women with infants. One of them was Meredith. I tried to get to her in time, but she and Henry were killed. After that battle, I became Pitch. After that battle, I became a man she would have hated.
I break apart from our kiss.
"My love, look at what you have become. Why did you resort to this? Why would you avenge my death in such a way?" she asks softly yet sternly.
"I am so sorry, my dear. I did not know what to do for the longest time. All I knew was I did not want to suffer alone. I became this." I reply.
"You lost sight of who you are, my love. I do not blame you for what you have done. You did not know you were forgiven." she says.
"I cannot live without you any longer." I say, cupping her face. I look up at the Man in the Moon. "If you do me one thing, do me this. Let me live no longer. Let me stay with my love. Let my dark reign end."
The beam of light returns around us. I feel myself transform back to how I was before.
"Welcome back, darling." Meredith says, taking my hand.
"Of all the ones to love, you I love most of all.
And with that love, we shall not fear, for love will take me to you, dear.
And once you've found the path to me, no dark shall ever fall,
For all the ones to love, I love you most of all."
"Papa?"
Evelyn's P.o.V
The beam of light reappears around Pitch and Meredith, who I assume to be his wife. He starts to transform. His skin turns into a normal, tan color. His hair shrinks, staying black, his eyes turning a light brown.
"Welcome back, darling." Meredith says. Their figures disappear along with the beam of light. All of the nightmares fall into small piles of sand.
I look down at myself, waiting for me to transform into my normal self again, but it doesn't happen. I look over at Ben and see him doing the same thing. He looks at me with a questioning look.
"The children" a voice says. The Man in the Moon. I get up and hurry over to Ben.
"Did you hear him too?" I ask.
"Yes. Come on, let's finish this." he says. He stands beside me.
"We'll meet you in Arendelle soon." I say to my parents. Ben takes my hand. I look over at him and smile, then we slide into the shadows.
It takes forever, but we finally get all the kids to believe again. We finish in Arendelle. I send up my light ice, making it snow over the kingdom, making them believe again. We stand just outside the castle gates.
The whole thing took an entire day, so we're exhausted. The moon shines bright again. A ray of light comes down, shining upon us. It feels like something is being lifted out of me, like a weight off my shoulders. I feel free again.
I look down and see one of my casual dresses on. I smile and look and Ben. He's back to normal too. I throw my arms around his neck. He wraps his around my waist and lifts me up, spinning us around. He sets me back down. I look at him, then run a hand through his hair.
"I've missed you." I say. He takes a breath to say something, but I stop him with a kiss. He pulls me close to him, filling any gaps between us. In this magical moment, I forget all of the troubles between us. But then I remember, I pull my lips from his, looking down.
"What's wrong?" he asks.
"Your mother, she hasn't seen you in months." I say. He looks startled, as if he forgot. "Come on, I'll take you to her now."
I create an ice cloud beneath us and fly off to Virginia.
