Haunted
Merida saw the bullet in slow motion, lethargically spinning, moving forward like a snail. Her heart slowly speeding up, sure she was about to die.
But then there was Jack.
His chocolate hair, brown eyes…
She thought she heard him whisper, 'Merida…'
She screamed.
His red blood spattered everywhere, staining her reddish hair dark crimson.
His body fell into the lake. She remembered that his worst fear was drowning.
But something in the back of her mind whispered, 'no it wasn't.'
She felt a tear slip out of her eye.
Why did his death hurt so much? Death…
Her vision turned black.
She saw his body floating,me drifting in that pond. It was dark, and cold. The lake was covered in a thick layer of ice.
Streaks of moonlight sparkled in the water.
She forced herself to turn back to Jack.
His skin was pale.
She was about to turn away when she heard his voice.
'No… don't! Don't go! I need to remember… it's slipping away… no… Merida…'
Her breath caught in her throat.
This was a dream. She knew it was.
But, why did it feel… true?
As his hair turned white, she heard his voice once again, fading…
'Merida… I wish you could hear me… I lied… I was scared of drowning, but I was more scared… of losing you…'
Her vision went black once again.
Emma's eyes shoot open. She just had the strangest dream… that Jack had come back to life with white hair… and that he had lost his memory… he had kept thinking to Merida.
She had heard Nor… she means, Dad and Mom talking about Jack after they though she had fallen asleep. But she had tried to listen in.
"Jack… Pitch… alive… DON'T TELL EMMA."
"I agree. Is she knows, she might go after Jack. I lost my son, I do not want to lose daughter as well."
She thinks that that had inspired her dream.
She was thinking, though.
She shook Nor… Dad awake.
"Yes?"
"Dad, can I ask you something?"
"Very well. Vhat do you vant to know?"
"What were you and Mom talking about?"
"I apologize… the Tsar ordered us not to tell."
She pouted. "…Fine. Then, can I ask you this? Why did you leave?"
North hesitated. "…I got caught hunting in woods. I did not allow Jack to sell, so he vas not caught. I was sentenced to death, but I escaped to here."
"Oh… thanks. Goodnight."
It was cold. Very cold. And dark. There was no light…
Suddenly, two ice blue eyes stared into her sky-blue ones.
"Merida…" he hissed.
"J-Jack?! You remember me?!"
"No… but Pitch told me everything. How much we worked together, how much I cared for you… how you betrayed me. Ambushed me…"
"What? I never did that!"
"DON'T LIE TO ME… you betrayer…"
Merida felt like she was about to cry.
"I trusted you, Hiccup, and Rapunzel… with my life… and you three attacked me, cowardly monsters…"
"No! No, no, no…" she sobbed. "We never did that! He lied to you!"
"He would never lie to me. I was his most faithful supporter, before you three erased my memory… now my whole life is a fill-in-the-blank. I wouldn't know anything about myself without Pitch… because of YOU!"
She screamed as a blue shard of light escaped his staff, surrounding her in ice…
She bolted upright, screaming. Before she knew it, soldiers burst into her room, weapons drawn.
"Get out! I just had a nightmare…"
Bowing and muttering apologies, they left.
"Just a nightmare…"
She failed to see the silent, midnight black horse fly out of her room.
Meanwhile, Sandy, North, Toothiana, and Aster snuck out of the building…
Sol: first, I'd like to say, I'm sorry. This chapter was mostly made for my personal amusement. I snuck some important things in there, though. Thank Arceus.
Second, who here likes Pokemon? What did you think of Pokemon Direct? I cried when I saw that you would be getting a Kanto starter also. Then I did a happy dance.
What do you think of Pokémon Bank? Say so in your comments. Also, I'm going to post a poll asking what Kanto starter you will pick… (I'm getting Bulbasaur in Y, but since I heard the info, I'm also buying X so I can get Charmander.)
G'syr: okay, I'd like to say, she's been constantly thinking about Pokémon lately, and it's rather annoying… so, to help her get that out, feel free to request Pokemon One-shots! Thank you!
Both: Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed!
