Chapter 6

Elsa

I dash through the snow as fast as I can. No, no! Stop running away! I need to be with Jack, he's trying to protect me! What is going on with me?! I force myself to push through the forests, until I get all the way to my ice palace once again.

" Ah, there you are, Elsa! " Pitch exclaims, holding his arms out for a hug. I finally have control over my body again. I blast him with my ice, but he catches it in midair and it demolishes under his touch. I try to run away, but he grabs me fiercely as he glares into my eyes. "Now Elsa, if I let you go, will you stop running? " He asks, his voice full of determination.

" W-What do you want with me?! " I cry, trying to get rid of his grasp on me.

He smirks with amusement as he answers, " For revenge, of course. Why else? Oh, and maybe so that I can attain your powers, and you'll be nothing.. except dead of course. " He inhales deeply, and continues, " Then, maybe Jack will understand that he can never defeat me. " I gasp in horror as my knees weaken.

" B-But why do you hate Jack so much, what has he ever done to you?! " I question, hugging myself for protection. Pitch looks at me with hatred in his eyes as he inches closer to me.

" What's it to you? " He glares at my ice castle. Then, he glances back at me as he says, " Sweet dreams, princess. " The next thing I know, the balcony we were standing under broke loose as it plummeted straight for me.

Jack

" Come on, her palace is right over the- " I point to the shimmering ice palace. But, I noticed a dark shadow loom over the castle as a piece of the palace breaks off. Then, I see a little figure with a shining blue dress run for its life.

" Oh my god, Elsa! " I cry in shock as the balcony that fell hits the ground. Snow flies everywhere, and Elsa gets buried alive from it. North's sled goes faster then it's ever gone before, and we land on the soft snow.

" Elsa! Guys, go looks over there! " I point to where the shadow was last seen. Soon, I'm digging around furiously as I come across an icy blue fabric.

" Oh, Elsa! " I plead, digging up the rest of her. I drag her out as ice forms around her fingertips. " Elsa.. " I whisper, holding her in my lap. She's barely breathing, and her breathe is shallow. But, she's alive.

" Sandy, over here! " I call out, trying to protect Elsa from the falling snow. Oh look at that.. snow. I must of made that when I was looking for Elsa... Sandy rushes over and makes many sand figures above his head. The rest of the group approaches as I look at Sandy in confusion.

" Slow down, Sandy! Just.. see if you can wake her up! " I ask, looking down at Elsa's pale, slim face. Her full cheeks are now pale, and her eyes that are usually so energetic, are closed. Sandy places his hand on her heart, and golden magic flows into her. The normal color of Elsa's skin returns, and she opens her eyes slightly. There's no glossy, or faraway look in her icy blue eyes as she smiles.

" J- Jack? What are you doing here, I thought that I- " She stops as I bear hug her. I held her so tight, I thought that I would hurt her if I tightened my grip. She leans her head into my shoulder as Sandy grins enormously. Tooth squeals excitedly, and North's laugh is jolly. Bunny grunts, but looks a bit happier to know that Elsa's okay.

" D- Don't leave, okay? I told you I would help protect you, and I will. " I say determined.

Elsa looks at me with regret in her eyes as she explains, " I- I don't know what got into me. You guys all looked at me, and I tried to explain. But, the next thing I know, I'm running away! " She shudders as she looks at the rest of the guardians.

Bunny huffs, " So.. why are you so important to Jack anyways? " I glance at everyone, and they're nodding encouragingly. " Elsa, has.. the same powers as me. " I breathe out faintly.

Sandy puts a question mark on his head as North asks, " What do you mean, boy? Elsa dear, show us. " Elsa stands up shakily, and nods. She opens up her palm as little blue ice particles appear in her hand. Everyone, even Bunny, exclaims in awe. Elsa tightens her hands in a fist, and exhales sharply.

" I- I don't like to use them. I might hurt someone.. " She mumbles faintly.

" Don't worry! We're all immortal here, except for you! " Tooth reassures, her transparent wings flapping at the speed of light. Elsa nods slightly, as she flings the palace doors open.

"E-Elsa! " I cry, following her. I motion for the others to follow, and I smirk knowing what she's going to do. We follow Elsa up the staircase, going to the missing balcony. Elsa takes deep breathes as she manifests a new balcony. The ice spreading into the shape to her liking, it sparkles in delight as the sun's rays hit the ice. North grunts approvingly, nodding. Tooth just stares at Elsa, her violet eyes full of awe. Bunny glances at Elsa, and then looks at her fully. I smirk when Elsa's done; she turns around proudly.

" Nice job, princess. " I grin when Elsa blushes. But, when I look at Elsa's glowing image, a dark shadow appears on the moutain in the distance. It's Pitch, and he's manifesting rays of sand to look like Elsa. Then, the raven black Elsa sand figure gets impaled with his fear minions... Pitch has just shown me Elsa's death, that he would gladly make come true.
