The storm started to pick up, pelting thick flurries of ice and snow in its wake. This was enough to shift Jack's focus from Pitch's scathing words. Sharply he took to the sky, brows furrowed and eyes set on Arendelle.
Pitch walked casually around the chamber with a young man clad in white military garb who sat silent in thought. The young man was the first to speak "so, what are we going to do with the queen? The storm hasn't stopped at all, and the people of Arendelle are barely hanging on."
"Let me see if I can talk some sense into her Hans. After all, she still maybe a bit out of it after that nasty fall she took." Pitch responds, while gazeing at the storm.
"I've tried talking to her, she doesn't know how to stop this freeze and bring back summer. And either way, I promised Anna to keep Arendelle safe alongside wth her and the queen."
"Do you really believe all that rubbish that you're saying? Let's face it, on your own you have no chance of gaining the throne or any means of power. And deep down inside you don't care for that dimwitted Anna anyways. Not like you can get anywhere with Elsa, she is quite a wreck. And haven't you ever wondered why the people of Arendelle didn't even bother questioning you? After all, you were the one that promised to lead them out of this freeze and restore order, right? Well, where is this great thaw you promise to bring about?" Hans remains silent, but with a slight flame brewing in his eyes. With a smirk Pitch continues in a somewhat mocking tone, "Well Sir Hans, the reason why you haven't had the slightest problem is because of me. Unlike the dimwit that put you in charge and ran off; I have been keeping everyone in line."
"With what?"
"Nightmares, the beautiful yet savage things that broods fear. Here let me show you a demonstration, if you will" Pitch walks over to one of the slumbering officials of Arendelle and conjures up a black nightmare. The man groans and starts having a fitful dream which he can't escape. "See, this takes those two out of the equation completely doesn't it? But, before ruling Elsa out completely I will have a chat with her. As for Anna, I suggest getting rid of her imediately; she'll only be a nuisance."
"Very well sir, I will gladly take your advice and you as a valued ally." Hans continues, with a smile crossing his face.
Pitch glided easily into the dungeon where Elsa was being held; he found her peering through the window and muttering to herself. "Enjoying the weather?" He said with a smile. She refused to turn around but growled "If you've come to ask me to unfreeze Arendelle, I can't. I don't know how."
"No, I haven't come to bother you with that. I've come here for another purpose..."
"Whatever it is, I want no part of it." Elsa cuts in. Unphased, Pitch continues, while effortlessly conjuring up a shadow monster "Whether you like it or not you're a danger to yourself and everyone else around you. But that's not a problem, I can help you control you powers; even help groom them to have more favorable outcomes."
"I will only ask you once, leave me alone. I want no part of anything you propose."
"Oh, you want to be alone? What, like the last decade of your life? What will you do queen Elsa, hide in the mountains hoping that everything will become peachy and you won't end up killing somone again?" Pitch says in a mocking tone. His last words struck her. Seeing the astonishment clearly written on her face he sneers "Yes, as a matter of fact I know your deepest darkest fears along with the memories and nightmares that you try so desperately to forget. I know you nearly killed your sister years ago; and your worst nightmare of freezeing a certain someone in a pond. The dolt doesn't even remember you or what happened to him; and you're too afraid to tell him that you're his killer. The main reason why he floats around aimlessly, with no one knowing he even exists." This got Elsa's attention and rage; still she remained silent.
"My word, you are pointless to talk some sense into." He says chuckling. With a wave of his hand he sends his monster upon her, and growls "make sure she doesn't wake up." With that, Pitch makes his way back to the study where Hans waits for his answer.
"So any luck?"
"No, unfortunately I didn't get anywhere with her. She should be knocked out though; I would suggest this be the time to get rid of her." Pitch says calmly.
"Also, Anna was admitted into my study while you were gone. Apparently Elsa struck her in the heart; if she doesn't get true love's kiss she'll freeze into a block of ice"
"What did you do with her?"
"I locked her in the room. She should be taken care of by the time I finish with Elsa."
"Hmmm, you're catching on very well." Pitch finishes with a smirk.
