15: No goodbyes

We started pacing the cliff, thinking of how to get out of here.
"Have you checked inside the cave? Maybe there's another tunnel." He suggested. His eyes were frantic. I grabbed his hands and looked into his eyes. I felt like I didn't deserve him, and he didn't deserve me. He didn't deserve to see this. He didn't.

I just needed a promise. Just a promise. I looked into his eyes and he looked into mine. I was on the verge of tears, but I couldn't just break Infront of him, this would be his last sight.
"Promise. Promise you'll love me." I said it straight. I needed to. I needed that relief. That he would love me.

His eyebrows shifted in confusion but his eyes were lost. His eyes was tearing but blank. I searched for his eyes but it was just lost. Completely lost. What's going on? Didn't he just say he loved me like a day ago?
"Keith?" I was scared. What if he never really did, what if he just acted like it so I can just feel the betrayal?
"Keith...." I knew it. He never loved me. Everything just didn't make sense. My heart is just frozen solid. He never gave a damn. He never gave a damn about me.

I slowly let go of his hands, and I felt hot tears fall down my face. I turned around and fell to my knees. I'm weak, I'm useless. I couldn't take the pain. My hands are wet and my head is heavy. I guess my life is really over. Im screaming I'm crying. I can't anymore.

"Awe, poor child." A voice came from above the cave, a deep and dark voice.

Pitch

I look up from the ground and see him sit peacefully ontop of the cave opening.

He jumps off and lands on his feet, looking at Keith. I jump to my feet and wipe away the wet tears.

His hands circle around Keith's head and suddenly keith falls to his knees.

"Can't you see, he doesn't love you. He never did." Pitch said, grabbing Keith's hair, making his face stare straight at mine.

Wait a minute, his eyes. His eyes aren't blue anymore, they are black. Pitch black. I walked closer, forgetting pitch was even here. I looked down at his scarred face, and stared deep into his eyes. Why didn't I notice this before?! His eyes were grey from when we got out of the cave! It was pitch all along! I should have known.....

"Yeah, I know. He never showed it anyways." I started to play along, I knew what to do, and how to get Keith back. I slowly walked away from Keith.

"Wait what?" Pitch didn't notice, good.

"Yeah, he was always talking about his girlfriend in the human world, you know?" Ouch. That hurt me a bit. I turned around and saw pitch with a surprised face.

"He never liked me. Why would he? I was ugly and useless anyways."

"You got that right."

I giggled, but inside, I broke.

"Why don't you just return him to the human world, and forget he was ever here, and get rid of me like you always wanted to?" I said it. Yup. I just did.

"Great plan." Pitch walked into the cave. I ran to Keith and looked deep into his eyes, almost catching a glimpse of the gorgeous blue in his eyes.
"I've always loved you.." I whisper.
I stood up and pitch came out of the cave, with the crystal floating in his hands. Keith first touched the crystal to turn him into us. Touching it again would turn him back into who he really is, a human.

"Here it is." Pitch gave a grin and I faintly smiled back. I stepped away, and nodded.

"I never knew you had this side Beatrice. You would make a great partner. An evil one. And we could conquer all of your race, and make it better." He continued. He put the floating crystal into Keith's hands. A bright light was shown from the crystal, I blocked my eyes from it.

Wait. Pitch never touched the crystal before. If any of us touch the crystal we would turn human. And pitch had the crystal floating. Plan b. A better plan.

Keith's POV

"He never liked me. Why would he? I was ugly and useless anyways." I could hear her but I couldn't speak. I couldn't say anything. She was breaking but I couldn't do anything. Pitch locked me in his stupid spell and now I can't. I can't fight my way through this! I need to tell her I love her, and that she's beautiful and she's everything to me.

"You got that right." Pitch said above me.

"Why don't you just return him to the human world, and forget he was ever here, and get rid of me like you always wanted to?" She did not just say that. Omg she just said that. But why? 'Get rid of me like you always wanted to?!' No Beatrice you can't die!

"Great plan." Pitch said in his straight foward voice. No. No. No. This is not happening!

Beatrice ran to me and got on her knees, and stared into my eyes. She couldn't see it. She couldn't see the sign I was trying to give her, that I was controlled by Pitch this whole time! Her face was so delicate, yet so cute. Her eyes were fragile, but burning with tears.
"I've always loved you..."
I love you too, Beatrice. I've always loved you.

"Here it is." I could hear pitch come out of the cave. God damn it pitch get me out of your spell so I can tell her! Please.....

"I never knew you had this side Beatrice. You would make a great partner. An evil one. And we could conquer all of your race, and make it better."
She's not evil! She's beautiful and kind, and she doesn't deserve to be your partner pitch! She deserves to be mine, my always and forever....

Suddenly everything turned into a peaceful darkness...

"He's awake! Finally! That was a long time." Pitch's voice echoed in my head. What in the world is wrong with me. My eyes finally adjusted to the lighting. My head spun.

"Beatrice?" I was able to get up, and see her face. I ran up to her and gave her a hug. I released and looked at her eyes. They were blank, filled with tears, and cold.

"What did you do to her pitch?!" I yelled at him, trying to fly up. But I couldn't. What is happening?

"Can't fly huh? Your human, idiot. And I didn't do anything to her, we just agreed on being partners." He smirked. Ugh I want to punch him so bad.

"I'm sorry Keith. I had no choice." She whispered. I went right back to her and put my hands around her face. She was crying. Pitch didn't do anything to her. He didn't put a spell, but he turned me into a human.

"Let's go Beatrice, we can leave this scum bag here to die." His words made me flame up in the inside.

She grabbed my hand, and smiled. I didn't know what to do or what to say. "I've always loved you."

"Pitch. Stop right there." I looked right at Beatrice and at pitch.

"We have to put the crystal back? Right? We can't leave it here." She said. What is she trying to do?

"Fine, lets do it quick though." Pitch lifted the crystal with his powers, and suddenly Beatrice grabbed the crystal and through it to pitch's chest. Everything happened to fast, and Beatrice and pitch ended up on the floor, unconscious. I ran to Beatrice, trying to wake her up.

"Beatrice! Please, please oh please stay with me!" She can't die on me. Please don't die. Please! Your everything I need. Please.

"I'm human now Keith." She whispered. I looked back at her and sighed in relief.

"Your not dead! Oh thank you!" I hugged her from the ground.
She got up, and pulled me into a kiss. She really did love me, and I loved her too.

"Ugh what just happened!"

We released from the kiss and saw pitch rising from the ground.

"What the hell Beatrice! I thought we were a team!" He yelled with anger and pushed Beatrice so hard, she fell over the edge of the cliff.

"Beatrice! NO!" I ran to the edge, and saw her hanging from her hands from a branch not to low from the edge.

I stood up, I needed to kill this pitch. I'm over with him.

"Aww, he wants to be the one who saves the girl.." Pitch mimicked.
"You won't be able too." He taunted.

I grabbed the nearest large rock and threw it straight to his stomach.
"Oooofffff!"
"Keith!" Beatrice called behind me but I needed to get rid of pitch.
I grabbed two more rocks, and threw it straight were it needed to go. Next thing, pitch was on the floor, dead.

I ran to the edge.
"Beatrice! Grab my hand!" I yelled to her, and she reached for my hand. She finally grabbed it and the branch broke off.

"Don't look down." I reminded her. But she did. She looked down. She screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Keith help me please!" She screamed.

"Just hang on!" Im trying to hold her, my other hand was trying to hold on to a rock to keep me from falling over. Her life is in my hands. I need her to be with me.

"Keith..." I looked down at her, and saw her frightened eyes.
"No Beatrice you can't die I need you!" I was scared. Beatrice can't die! She's my everything.
"No Keith I won't make it." Her eyes poured out tears, and so did mine.
"You will. I promise!" I needed her. I gripped her hand tighter. Her eyes lightened and her face got softer.

"I need you to let go, please. I'll be ok."

"No you won't! I need you!" I was begging for her to stay.

"Keith."

"No! I'm not letting go!" I squeezed my eyes tight, and my hand.

"Keith, look at me, please."

I opened my eyes slowly and looked straight down into hers. She was scared too. She was scared of loosing me too.

"Beatrice, I promise, that I'll love you. Always, and forever." I heard her words before. I heard that she wanted a promise, for me to love her.

"I promise you too." She smiled back. "I love you Keith. And I always have." She said calmly.

"I loved you and I always will."

She just stared at me, with emotion in her eyes. It was the last time I would ever see her again. She was going to let go. I felt her grip get more loose.

"Beatrice, please... Don't leave me.!"

She let go.

She's gone.
