Chapter 2 Frightening Memories

Heidi's POV

I set the stone back on the floor of the training area. "Why do I have to do this?" I inquired.

"What did Pitch tell you?" Isla asked.

I sighed inwardly. "That I have to prepare for a battle that will be in the future."

Huh. So she doesn't know who we're fighting.

"Well, then who are we fighting?" I demanded.

Isla was panicking inside, though she looked calm. "No one," she answered.

I crossed my arms. "Why are we getting ready for a battle then?"

Isla's panic started to show on her face. She shook her head and her face became serious again. "I'm going for a walk," she announced as she walked to the door and shut it behind her.

Hey, Raya! Get up lazy-bones! Pitch wants us to train again.

Raya was an orphan girl my age that Pitch had found and brought here. Did I mention that Raya has heat powers?

I heard grumbling on the other side of the telepathic link Raya and I shared. "Okay, fine! I'm getting up. Be there in five minutes."

I'll be counting. I replied, only half teasing.

Exactly five minutes later, Raya appeared in the doorway, looking as disgruntled as she sounded.

"Look who finally decided to show up!" I chided.

"Oh, shush," Raya waved a hand at me while she looked around the newly repaired training room. "Huh. Pitch made it stone this time."

I nodded. "He thought it would be better this way so you can't burn it down again."

"It was an accident, okay? Pitch only found me a few months ago! I haven't had time to learn how to use my powers properly."

"Yeah, and Pitch only found you after you had burnt a town to the ground."

Oh, sticks and stones, I shouldn't have said that! Raya had always blamed herself for the fire that had taken her family away from her. It kind of was Raya's fault that the village burned down, though. She was showing her family her powers, when the roof caught fire, and in no time at all, the whole town was in flames. Being immune to fire and heat, Raya was the only person in that village to survive. Pitch had found her walking the crumbled streets, and brought her here.

And now she was staring at me with that blazing fire in her eyes she always got when she was angry. "Don't talk about that!" she screamed and her whole body was engulfed in flames.

I stepped back in fear. I had never seen Raya do this before. A second later, I had to duck when a blazing ball of fire came my way. Raya needed to calm down; oh, where was Isla when you needed her? Then I remembered the intercom Pitch had built to alert either him, Jake, or Isla when we were in trouble. I dodged and ducked Raya's fire-balls as I raced to the intercom.

"Isla!" I screamed into it. "Hurry over to the training area, NOW! Raya needs a serious chill pill!"

"On my way," she replied.

Seconds later, she flew into the room and shot ice everywhere, making it dramatically colder in the room within ten seconds. Raya's flames went out, and she collapsed into an exhausted and shivering head on the icy floor; the heat that radiated off of her melted a small circle around her.

"Can you take Raya to her room?" Isla asked. "You know I can't touch her."

That was Jake and Isla's weakness; they couldn't stay around heat for very long or they would get very sick and weak, and perhaps die; Raya was the opposite.

"Of course," I answered, lifting up the rock around Raya and hovering it in front of me as I carried my friend to her room.

Isla's POV

I walked down the hall and knocked on Pitch's office door.

"Come in," came his voice from inside.

I opened the door and walked in, shutting it behind me. Pitch was sitting at his desk, watching something on his projector.

"What are you doing?" I questioned.

"Watching memories," he responded.

"You can do that?"

He nodded, not turning from the projector. "Only if the memories are the causes of fear."

"Like Raya's about burning her town to the ground?" I suggested.

Pitch finally turned from the memory and smiled at me. "Exactly."

I made myself a chair of ice and sat down next to him. "Whose memory is this? It looks like two little kids playing. How could this cause fear?"

"You'll see."

The kids playing were two little girls; one had very pale blond hair, the other had light brown hair. They had just made a snowman and were playing around with it. Once finished with that game, they slid down a slide of snow and the brown haired girl went tumbling into a snow bank just beyond the snow slide. She stood up and began leaping from snow pile to snow pile, all of which seemed to appear out of thin air.

I looked to the blond girl. She was the one making the piles of snow, which meant that the blond haired girl was Elsa since I had black hair. And the other girl must have been her sister, Anna. Suddenly, Elsa slipped and her magic hit Anna in the head. Her parents came bursting through the door.

"Elsa what have you done?" the king accused.

"She's ice cold," the queen murmured. She looked to Elsa. "You're a monster."

"This isn't a memory!" Pitch exclaimed. "It's a nightmare!"

I could feel Elsa's thoughts, even in the nightmare.

What? No I'm not!

"I-I'm not a monster," Elsa whimpered, the fear completely visible in her voice.

"You are!" her father roared. "You are a monster! How could you do this to your sister?!"

"It-it was an accident!" Elsa protested as she reached for her sister. "I'm sorry, Anna!"

The queen yanked Anna away from her sister's clutches. "Keep your hands away from my daughter!" she shrieked.

"But I'm your daughter too!" Tears started making their way down Elsa's face.

"I have no other daughter," the king replied coldly. "Who wants a monster for a child?"

Then the screen went black, which must have meant that Elsa had woken up for she was screaming and sobbing inside my head.
