ELSA'S POV-
"How… interesting." Pitch says evilly, with a sly smile on his pale face. "Not one, but two guardians show up!" He exclaims. Jack was the next to speak. I have never seen him so angry, so determined.
"What are you talking about, Pitch?!" He yells, as Anna stirs in her sleep. I run to her bedside.
"Anna, wake up. It's a nightmare, wake up." I begged, a tear sliding by my cheek as Pitch laughed menacingly. I looked to him, wiping away my tear. "What did you do to her?!"
"Relax. It's just a nightmare." Pitch said. "I'm not doing anything at the moment."
"At the moment?!" I yell furiously as I attempt to walk up to Pitch. Jack held me back my both my arms as I struggled. "You're not going to do anything to her!" I yelled, still struggling.
"And what are you going to do about it? You can't seem to struggle out of his grasp. I'm untouchable." He bragged as I shook my head and stopped struggling. Jack still didn't let me go. And I was fine with it. I didn't need him to.
"It doesn't," I spat out as I formed sharp icicles in her air. "…mean you're invincible." I pointed them out, firing them, each of them missing deliberately. I formed a new one. A bigger one. "This one won't miss."
"Adorable." He smiled, slyly. "But I can make all your nightmares come true. And you seem to have quite a lot about them." I stayed silent. That was true. I do have a lot about him. And in fact, I was told about Pitch a very long time ago. By who?
The Man in the Moon of course. It wasn't a conversation. He only said two phrases. I did most of the talking.
"And you know what your dear sister is afraid of?" He walked closer to her as I struggled, Jack tightened his grip. "You." I froze. No. Anna couldn't be afraid of me. She just couldn't… "You see how easy it is to get under your skin?"
"You haven't."
"Yet." He said. "Have you thought about my offer? I was serious about your powers you know."
"What offer?" Jack asked. Pitch smiled.
"Intriguing. You're very good at keeping things discreet, Elsa."
"What's he talking about Elsa?" Jack asked. I looked down staying silent as my icicle fell and shattered. It was him. It was him all along. Don't just stand there, I told myself, face him. He doesn't have the power to control you. I laughed coldly. Coldly isn't the right word.I laughed icily. Jack let go of me. It started to snow.
"How adorable." I shook my head. Pitch seemed perplexed by this, as did Jack. "You actually think you can make me feel fear." I said. "I see it. I see you and I'm laughing in your face. I've felt fear. Pretty sure you got power off of it. But what I give, can be taken away. Just like how I know… you're bluffing."
"You insolent girl!" Pitch said.
"Careful where you're treading, Elsa." Jack warned.
"You don't control me." I told Pitch.
One things you don't know. One thing Pitch couldn't acknowledge because he was distracted, is the fact I was terrified. I was bluffing.
"Here's the deal, you let my kingdom free. You leave it alone. You leave Jack alone and all of the other guardians alone. Most especially, you leave everyone I care about alone. Understand?" I said. I meant it.
"Why should I listen to you?"
"Because if you do all of that… you get me."
"Elsa!" Jack said.
"Deal." And with that, Pitch and I vanished and I heard one single thing as we did so.
"ELSA!" He called.
I've been terrified my whole life. I still am terrified.
But for everyone's sake. I'd rather he have me. I'd rather everyone's safe. I'd rather Jack and Anna were safe.
JACK'S POV-
What just happened? Did I seriously just let her go? I felt a hand on my shoulder. Elsa's gone. I was supposed to protect her! I'm her guardian! The Man in the Moon gave me orders, North did the same and I let her go. I didn't just let her go. I let her fall into the hands of the cruelest, evil immortal in the whole world. Pitch Black.
"Jack…" Anna said. "What just happened?" I couldn't even process it. "You're crying." I didn't even know that. What happened?
I don't know.
It was so much all at one. What deal? Why did Pitch call her a guardian? What's the truth to it?
What are the guardians hiding from me? North, Toothiana, Sandy, Mundy… What are they all hiding from me?
"Jack." Anna asked. I shook my head.
"Pitch just took Elsa." I said, gravely, wiping my tears away, standing up.
"Why?"
"I don't know. That's what I'm going to find out."
ELSA'S POV-
"More power!" Pitch commanded, as I was training my powers, hitting a target. I gathered up all my emotions, all my power and snowflakes appeared. Pitch laughed. "Intimidating." He said, sarcastically, I laughed as I made them hit the target, shattering it. All the other targets behind it followed the same fate. "Very intimidating." Pitch said, meaning it this time as he left me in a dome, where not even my powers can break it.
This is like a cage or a prison cell. I feel like a hamster trapped in those plastic boxes. I feel so… stir crazy. I want to walk out of this box. I want to break this like I did to the targets. I made an icicle and I made it hit against the material of the walls and it only bounced back, hitting all the walls of the room, it was difficult to dodge the single icicle. I want to scream at the top of my lungs. Save me, I think.
But then I remember why I'm here. I have to be. For my kingdom. For Anna… For… Jack.
Yes, I'm angry. I'm furious at him for leaving but the tables have turned. The current events changed my mind.
But as for the other… issue. I don't know. Do I love him?
"Well, he loves you." I heard. I looked up. Pitch. I scoffed.
"Excuse me?"
"You can't be that oblivious. He loves you."
"Since when did you become the love guru? You literally just kidnapped me ten minutes ago!"
"And why do you think I would do that if all I want it revenge on Jack?" He pointed out. I was bait. But why? According to him: Jack loves me. Don't be stupid, I thought to myself. And you're not in love with him. "Jack stopped me once, but with you, he won't."
"I'm not your puppet." I spat out. "And I'm not bait. He doesn't love me. Don't be stupid." HE laughed.
"You're scared." He taunted. I looked at him, my arms crossed. "You're afraid of falling and getting hurt." He sympathized. "We're more alike in more ways than one." He said, I shook my head as he laughed.
"We are nothing alike." I argued.
"We are more than you know." And with that he left. I sat in my box, as it started to snow. The white cloth covered my feet, in my new dress.
My newest creation.
It is much like my blue one, but silver. I wear it now and it's a little longer. The snowflake patterns all over the dress. I hugged my knees as I sat against the wall.
Tears strolled down my face but sobs never erupted.
Voices in my head that I have never answered now haunting me.
My old dreams, now nightmares.
Why was Pitch being nice? I scoffed.
He's just trying to get me on his side. The extents of this immortal is hilarious. Does he know that?
I bet the Sandman doesn't like him messing with other people's dreams.
And the lights went off.
I was left in the darkness. Not able to see anything at all. Or hear anything. Elsa… I hear in my head. Elsa… It repeats. The Man in the Moon, maybe? I'm coming. Jack.
