Chapter 9

As Elsa rounded the corner, her heart was beating un-explainably fast. She herself couldn't figure out why. All she knew was her gut instinct was telling her to keep on moving however what she found at the top of the flight of stairs she was running up wasn't what she had expected.
Han's was standing at the top with his hands crossed and a cold sneer on his face. "Going somewhere?"

"I...Um...well..."

"I thought I told you what would happen if you tried to escape" Backing up in fear Elsa watched Hans carefully as he took those dreaded first steps down the stairs towards her. Elsa's only thought was to run but when she turned around to do it one of Han's guards grabbed her arms "Your not going anywhere" he growled, Elsa could feel his fingernails pinching into her skin "Let go of me you stupid asshole. Let go!" Struggling did her no good all it did cause the mans grip to tighten "Elsa relax"

She turned to glare in Han's direction "I'm not going to hurt you...Yet." Snapping his fingers the guard pushed her forward "We'll talk more later." He called after her. As soon as the two were out of sight his smile disappeared and he quickly picked up his cellphone "Hello charming? This is Han's Christian Black calling. now about my little offer." He paused a moment and nodded "Yes its still on the table. However the deadline has been bumped up due to an unforeseen event." He started pacing back and forth.

"Well you see pretty boy its now become YOUR problem unless you wanna back out. No? I didn't think so, lets chat some more in person. Meet me here around noon tomorrow. Until then, Ta Ta." Without another word he hung it up and started laughing quietly to himself before heading down the same direction the guard had just gone down. He wanted to make sure if Elsa managed to escape he'd be there to stop her.

"C'mon, Move your ass!" Shoving elsa forward, the guard grew angry when she didn't go at the pace he wanted so without warning he released her arm and pulled out a gun "Maybe this will give you a little incentive." He lowered the gun to Elsa's stomach "No, please don't!" She cried out, placing both hands over her stomach. The man named Louie just smiled "Well then I suggest you move a little faster." He gave her another shove. She quickened her pace, tears streaming down her cheeks the entire way. they were almost back to Elsa's cell when they past the carnage that had taken place mere minutes ago.

She turned to stare at the mangled bodies when Louie hit her in the side of the head with his gun "Don't stare. Just keep moving" He bellowed. "Honestly if it were up to me you'd be dead already. Your kind doesn't belong in this world, your just cold bloodied monsters that shouldn't even exist." Elsa lowered her head, The man named Louie had no idea how much those words affected her. "Your wrong" She said quietly "The only monster I see around here..." She turned to glare at him, the tears running profusely down her cheeks "Is YOU!"

"Alright thats it. You asked for this" He highered his gun towards Elsa's face. She began backing away holding her hands up in fear "No...Please..." Louie shot off the gun twice, "Elsa move!" She was suddenly hit from behind and fell onto her side giving a small oomph noise as she fell. Completely Dazed and confused, she looked up and screamed as she realized who'd been hit "No!" Kida turned to look at Elsa with a blank sort of stare, blood seeping from where she'd been hit. "e-els..." Her knees buckled from underneath her and she fell to the floor.

Louie didn't even seem the slightest bit remorseful he just scoffed "Stupid Fool." and lifted the gun up again, before he could fire someone shot him twice in the shoulder. It was so fast he hadn't seen it coming until he was literally on his knees clutching the bloodied spot on his arm. The person who had shot him was now standing mere feet from him. "B-Boss?" He stared wide eyed at Han's who was putting his gun back into it's holster "Sorry but I need her more then I need you." He said matter-a-factly watching as Louie's head dropped into a pool of his own blood.

Turning his attention away from the now lifeless corps he looked on towards Elsa who was weeping over her freind Kida who was on the brink of dying herself.

"kida why did you do that?" Elsa could feel the traitor tears coming down her cheeks but didn't try to stop them "Why!?" she repeated. though it hurt, Kida forced herself to smile "Because we're friends aren't we?"

"Yes, Yes of course" Elsa said without hesitating. Kida closed her eyes in contentment before another shock of pain shot thru her abdomen causing her to let out a small feeble cry.

"There has to be something I can do..." Elsa hated feeling helpless, her freind was dying and there wasn't anything she could do about it. She hated the feeling with every fiber in her being.

"Elsa You have to escape here. Please for for your childs sake L-Live..."
She let out another cry of pain "S-Shit..." her breathing was becoming labored and everything was starting to become blurry. Elsa tried to make Kida as comfortable as possible by cradling her head in her arms despite getting blood caked on her shirt. "Kida..."

Elsa held onto her hand as Kida began slipping out of consciousness "No you can't do this. Don't die on me!" Elsa starting growing hysterical "You can't!" "D-Do me a favor before I go..."

"Yes anything" Elsa cried "Anything." her tone was softer this time.
"Remember that song...that I taught you. C-Can you sing it for me?"

Recalling the moment she and Kida had started becoming best friends she nodded, pressing Kida's head to her chest as she rocked back and forth.
She started humming softly, recalling the lyrics that would forever stay in her memory;

I Will show you a world where you can let go

I will show you a world where you can be free

Just trust in me, take my hand, let me make

you understand. Though very different you and

I, one thing is true. We're both one. In the same...

Elsa could feel Kida's breathing had stopped and began to cry uncontrollably. she started hitting her hand on the floor in anger and damned every human in the building to hell. Having had enough, Han's pulled her up by her arm and placed his lips close to her ear "I'm sorry..."

"S-Sorry for what?" She asked in confusion. Hans began to smile, Elsa saw him pull something shiny from his pocket but before she could react he plunged it into her neck and grinned "That" She hissed at him, but her angr soon turned to fear as she began to get dizzy "Y-You bastard. W-What did you do to me..." She slurred, Everything started to go blurry. The last image she saw was of Han's laughing before falling into unconsciousness.

As Jack wandered thru the now empty hallway, everything was eerily quiet. Even the sirens overhead had stopped, which caused an uneasy feeling in the pit of his stomach.

He was trying to figure out where to go, the plan had been so simple. Find Hans and kill him, this turned out not to be so easy. all the doors he tried were locked so there was no possible way out which is why he found himself wandering aimlessly thru the wing. He was hoping to find someone with a key at least. Even if he had to kill them he'd get it.

after trying what seemed like the thousandth door he grew frustrated and started banging it with his fist "What exactly are you hoping to accomplish?" A familiar voiced asked.

Without warning he threw a punch and shouted "you!" though Pitch ducked before he could hit him. He swung again but Pitch blocked it and gave him a kick to the stomach. It was so fast Jack didn't even see it coming, he just felt like the wind had gotten knocked out of him. He fell to the floor and started coughing uncontrollably.

"Your gonna wish you hadn't done that." Jack spit, he was getting ready to transform back. All it would take was one swipe of his paw and Pitch would be dead.
Though he found he couldn't do it. He was to tired and had used up all his energy on the last pile of guards that were laying bloodied on the other side of the wing.

"Finally someone who knows how to have a little fun." He started laughing and cracked his knuckles "C'mon then, get up and lets fight Mutt. I'll make things intresting if you win I let you go. But if I win, well. If I win, you have to obey and do whatever I ask."

"Fuck you" Jack snarled angrily, "I'm not gonna play your sick twisted game." He slowly got to his feet but froze in place when Pitch snapped his fingers and 5 armed guards came marching up the stairs.

"Either humor me or you die." He smiled coyly "It's that simple."

All at once, the rifles being pointed at Jack clicked simultaneously. Jack spit onto the floor and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and stood completely still for a moment. "Elsa this is for you..." With those final words he lunged.
