Arthur's Note: Heads up! I've never read the original books, I've only seen the movie. So if you've read the book, forget about it while

reading this. It just makes it easier to understand. If you haven't read the books, well that's peachy! ;) You'll see why I ask this in this

chapter, so, Enjoy!

I should have kept my mouth shut! Pitch does not like to be corrected. His fortraces was covered in dried blood. Who's? Of course, mine! I've refused to do

anything and everything Pitch said. Every time I did , I lost blood. I was weak, but the good thing was, I was alive. Why doesn't he just kill me? He must love

my screams of terror.

"Leah!" Pitch yelled, "Are you ready to cooperate?" He had a glare that could kill.

"N-no I'm not w-working for you, P-pitch." I hated how weak my voice sounded.

"I want you to do more than work for me. I want you to work with me." his eyes still showed angry flames.

"N-not a ch-chance."

"Fine!" He snapped his figures at the wolves.

'Not again.' I thought. They came at me with their fangs showing. I was too weak to use my powers. They bit my pathetic form. Screams of agony followed.

"Alright, that's enough." Pitch commanded with a grin.

"Why only a f-few seconds?" The mutts usually attack me for one or to minutes.

"I got news From my beloved Mare." He started to walk closer to me. "Your stupid so-called 'Friends' are here. How's about we give them... a little bit of a

surprise?"He had a grin that showed his jagged teeth. He he flicked his wrist for his sand. It formed something I didn't like. It formed...a sword! Now I was

scared for the Guardians! He grabbed me by my hair and dragged me in front of the door.

'Please don't be what I think it'll be!' I prayed in my head. Pitch placed the sword near my back.

"I heard it over here!" Oh no... It was Jack! He can't see me like this! Not a second later, the door burst open. Jack's eyes were huge at the sight of me.

"Leah? No, it can't be!" Jack had tears at the bottom of his eyes. Bunny was next to see. His eyes grew, then narrowed at Pitch.

"You bloody Monster! How could you do this!?" He yelled at the top of his lungs. The other three Guardians followed him in.

"Not a step closer. I will." Pitch showed off his sword.

"You wouldn't dare!" Tooth yelled out from the air.

"Try me."

"Pitch, just let her go," North said.

"Listen, just listen to me. She's... she's," Bunny took a step twords Pitch. Pitch looked at his foot, then met his gaze.

"I warned you." With one quick motion, Pitch cut my back! As i screamed, bunny yelled.

"NO! PITCH SHE'S YOUR DAUGHTER!" It was too late. Pitch looked up and dropped his sword.

"What...What did you say?" he asked.

"She's your daughter. She drowned in the lake! That's the reason you turned evil." I was just as shocked. All at once, I remembered. That's why he looked...

so familiar. Then... I remembered Edmund. I looked at Bunny and didn't even have to say a eyes spoke for me. "Yes Leah, I'm Edmund." I started to tear up. Pitch was still holding my hair. He finally let go.

"Take her. Take her and leave!" Pitch couldn't look at me anymore, so he went into the shadows.

"Alright, let's go Leah." North said in a sad tone. Sandy came up beside me. Images popped up above his head.

"Can you walk?" His way of speech is quite easy to read.

"I-I think so." I tried to stand, but I just fell instantly.

"It's alright. I can carry you." Tooth held out her hands. I nodded in response. Pitch appeared once more.

"Just go! Please, just get her out of here!" The Guardians were a little surprise that the Nightmare King said please. Tooth lifted me in her arms. My blood got on her pretty feathers I felt bad. She didn't need that. As we left, My head turned back to Pitch. He threw his sword across the floor.

Then I saw him drop to the ground and...

cry.
