The Dark Of Winter

[WolfOfProphecys]

Tony flinched, but concentrated, forming an ice dagger in his hand, though knowing he had no chance

 

[Fangirl1231]

"This was all an elaborate scheme to lure you to a fight to the death. She knows you have no chance of winning, so why send you to fight me? She's not really escaping, she's following orders." Daniel smirked evily and swung at Tony.


Dusk stood at the edge of the lake, fidgeting nervously. "Come on, Tony. Where are you?"

 

[WolfOfProphecys]

Tony tried to defend himself, but as always the fire of the blade melted his dagger, the tip of the sword cutting across his chest, sending burning through him. He didn't give up though, leaning on his staff and trying to freeze Daniel

 

[Fangirl1231]

Daniel dodged and threw fire at Tony's shoulder. He smirked. Daniel was toying with him.

 

[WolfOfProphecys]

Tony held back a scream, which simply ended up as a pained yelp. He backed away, whimpering, trying to put the fire out

 

[Fangirl1231]

Daniel smirked evily and kicked Tony in the chest and hit him in the forehead with the butt of his sword.

 

[WolfOfProphecys]

Tony fell to the floor, dazed by the hit to his head. He laid still, staff in one hand as he blinked up at Daniel.

 

[Fangirl1231]

Daniel smirked. "And now, Tony Frost, you will die. Alone, forgotten, unbelieved in, and unloved." Daniel raised the sword over Tony. As he brought it down, there was an echoing scream of, NO! Dusk ran in front of Tony as the sword came down. It pierced through her heart. Her eyes went wide and she gasped softly. She then fell to the ground. Daniel growled and disappeared into the shadows.

 

[WolfOfProphecys]

Tony had closed his eyes as the sword came down, but they opened when he heard the scream. His eyes widened as he noticed Dusk, and he held her close, the injured frost spirit no longer caring about the fire as he pulled the sword out quickly, tapping her face. He whimpered, and used the shadows to teleport them to Eclipse and rage

 

[Fangirl1231]

Eclipse gasped and ran towards Dusk and Tony. She began sobbing when she saw Dusk. Dusk looked at Her parents weakly. "D-daddy.... it hurts." She said weakly, her blood staining the snow.

 

[WolfOfProphecys]

Tony held her close, his head lowered. Tears trailed down his face, as he gently placed his hand on her wound, working to numb the area with his powers, though they were weakened by the fire.


rage followed Eclipse, and fell to his knees beside his daughter, holding her hand tightly, "Its ok sweetie" He said softly

 

[Fangirl1231]

Dusk looked at her mom. "M-mommy, please don't cry." She said quietly. Eclipse nodded and wiped her eyes. She sat beside Rage and rested her head on his shoulder, looking at her daughter sadly. Dusk looked at Tony. "Don't you cry either, frost face." She said, smirking slightly, trying to be strong for them.

 

[WolfOfProphecys]

"They're not tears......my uh...eyebrows are upset" Tony mumbled back with a sad smile.


Rage had an idea, and gently kissed Eclipse on the cheek with a soft, "i love you" He then gently moved Tonys hand and placed his own over Dusks wound, concentrating. He made his life force flow into Dusk, healing her and giving her her life, before Rage's eyes rolled back and he himself hit the floor, eyes closed

 

[Fangirl1231]

"Rage!" Eclipse cried and knelt beside her husband. She moved the hair from his face frantically and held his face in her hands. "Rage please don't do this to me. Please come back to me. Rage don't leave me!" Eclipse cried, her forehead against Rage's. Dusk was unconscious, her wound now closed. Her breathing was steady and peaceful, like she was asleep. Her face no longer looked like she was in pain.

 

[WolfOfProphecys]

Rage didn't move, not breathing. He was pale, and cold, having given his life for his daughter


Tony watched with a pained expression, to see the man whom he had hated, give his life for his daughter.

 

[Fangirl1231]

Eclipse sobbed into her dead husband's chest. The man she'd loved, married, raised a child with, was dead. The man who protected her from Pitch, the one who made kids believe in her, gone forever.

 

[WolfOfProphecys]

Tony looked down at the sleeping Dusk, "I'm sorry" He said softly to Eclipse, who probably still thought of him as a monster, and even more so now, as it was his fault Dusk had been stabbed

 

[Fangirl1231]

Eclipse didn't respond. She pulled out a snow globe she'd saved over the years. She shook it and opened a portal to the pole. She picked up her husband's body and walked through the portal.

 

[WolfOfProphecys]

Tony picked up Dusk and scuttled after Eclipse, jumping through the portal before it closed, and falling to his knees on the other side with Dusk in his arms

 

[Fangirl1231]

North was hugging Eclipse who was crying. Rage's body was on the couch. Jack was in the corner looking upset and angry.

 

[WolfOfProphecys]

Tony knelt where he landed, head bowed and holding Dusk gently. His right arm was burnt from Daniels attack, his chest burning from where the sword had cut a line over it. He spoke to no one, knowing he had betrayed them all at some point

 

[Fangirl1231]

Jack saw Tony and then turned and walked out. Eclipse sat beside the fire, holding Rage's hand, all her tears cried. North stood beside her, a hand on her shoulder. Dusk was still asleep.

 

[WolfOfProphecys]

Tony looked down as Jack walked out. He gently placed Dusk on the other sofa, looking to North silently before slowly following his father, ignoring the hateful looks from Sandy and even Tooth

 

[Fangirl1231]

Jack stood outside in the snow.

 

[WolfOfProphecys]

Tony walked toward him, but stopped a few steps away. One hand was on his burnt shoulder, the other holding his staff
