EEEK so excited for chapter 9 already, though I tend to start up my next chapters once the latest was typically posted lol. Hope everyone had a fun Halloween I know I did :) So anywho time for some more fun, yeah it seems a little dramatic, but hey its typical when you have Pitch being his normal pain in the ass self lol So yeah lets not waste anymore time here and get on with the chapter :) As always I do not own any of these characters.
A few days passed since her mishap with Jack. She was still trying to deal with the fact that she almost killed him with her powers. Jack kept reassuring her that he was fine and that she did nothing wrong. Her nightmares she had since that day proved otherwise for her. Again she woke up startled from seeing Jack in the same state he was in, the endless murmurs of it being her fault, her anger will get the best of her, and then she would see his yellow eyes in the corner. She slipped out of her bed quietly, she didn't want to wake Jack again. She knew he would be upset with her for allowing Pitch to manipulate her, but him doing so, or not, she still blamed herself for it. She let Pitch get to her, Jack was right about that, that's what caused her to set off. She glanced back at Jack, he was sleeping soundly, she sighed, "I'm sorry Jack, I need help." as she slipped onto her balcony.
The moon was full and bright, she leaned against the edge and glanced up, "I don't suppose you have any answers?" She sighed when she didn't hear a reply, but then again why would she, she almost took out someone she loved. She sat herself up and ran her fingers through her hair, before she went back inside. She froze when she saw Jack sitting up staring at her, "Elsa are you ok?" She nodded, "Yes, I'm fine, just stepped outside a moment. I didn't mean to wake you." Jack sighed and got out of the bed, "Elsa, please don't lie to me. Was it another nightmare?" She slowly nodded, he sighed again as he stopped in front of her, "Elsa, I told you, it was an accident, you reacted the way Pitch wanted you to. Please stop blaming yourself for this."
She glanced down at her feet, "I'm sorry Jack, I just can't stop replaying it in my head. I hurt because I almost lost you." Jack chuckled lightly, "Elsa, it wasn't that bad, yeah it hurt, yeah it left scars, but you didn't lose me. I'm not going anywhere." brushing his fingers across her cheek. She nodded, "I know, but how would you feel if you did something like that to me? You would feel the same too wouldn't you?" He bit his lip and nodded, "Of course I would, but I would see that you are fine, you are safe, you are with me. You need to see that too." pulling her to him. She leaned against him and nodded, "I'm sorry Jack, I will try harder to forget, but I do need help Jack. Pitch is right about one thing, I do have an anger problem and it's getting tied in with my powers. I can't lose control like that again." as she glanced up at him. Jack placed a kiss to her forehead, "Of course, we will help you find ways to control it, but it's something you need to do Elsa. You let Pitch get to you like that, of course you will react."
She nodded, "Ok Jack, I will not let him get to me." Jack smiled, "Good, now can we please go back to bed now?" chuckling. She nodded and smiled, "Yes, that sounds good." as she felt him tug her back to the bed. She leaned up against his chest, her fingers lacing with his. Jack raised her hand to his lips placing a kiss there, "Good night Elsa." She yawned, "Good night Jack."
Morning came quick, the sun beamed through the cracked balcony, Elsa rolled over and stretched. She glanced around seeing Jack had left. She got up and fixed herself up for the day before making her way down stairs. Once she was on the lower level, she went into the study portion of the palace, she paused before entering. She heard Jack talking and she felt her body freeze when she recognized Bunny's voice on the other side. She slowly backed off, she really wasn't ready to deal with him just yet, he must still be unhappy with her.
Of course he's mad, you are a danger to those they protect.
She mentallyt cursed at the voices, "Stay out of my head Pitch."
Fine, but when things go badly, I won't be there, and you will have no one to blame but yourself.
She gasped when she felt her mind finally feeling relief. How long had he been there, she didn't know, but she was just calm knowing he wasn't there constantly reminding her. She went to head back, but the door opened, Jack stood there, "Oh morning Elsa, we didn't wake you did we?" She turned to face them, she shook her head, "No, you didn't. Was just wandering around, I didn't interrupt anything did I?" Jack smiled and shook his head, "No, you didn't. We were just finishing up." as Bunny came around beside Jack. Elsa bit her lips nervoulsy, Bunny held his hands up, "No worries, Elsa. I just came to set things right, I didn't mean to go off on you that day. Just came to say I'm sorry." Elsa smiled and nodded, "I'm sorry too, I should have been more careful. Though I still don't know how, or why it happened."
Jack smiled, "No worries, it's all been taken care of. We are all back on the same page once again. As well as we are going to help you get better at controling that temper of yours." he chuckled. Elsa blushed, Bunny laughed, "Hey we all have one, just can't let it get the best of us and cloud our judgement. Don't worry, we'll help you out." Elsa nodded, "Thank you." Bunny nodded, "Alright, well I best be off. Got stuff to do as always. Catch you both later." as he tapped his foot and nothing happened. Jack laughed, "Yeah, this ice probably won't allow you to make a hole it in." Bunny sighed, "That's a shame, oh well I'll head outside then." as he left
Jack glanced back at Elsa, "So, how are you feeling this morning?" She shrugged, "Better actually. Seems like anything that was bothering me, is now gone." Jack smiled, "That's great to hear. Well I do have to go and bring a few blizzards to Alaska this afternoon, you can join me if you like?" She thought a moment, "I'll pass on that, I don't want to cause anything to happen while you are out again. I know I said I was ok with everything, but rather not jump into it right away. It is your job anyways, I need to find out my own." Jack sighed and nodded, "Alright, I won't be long, perhaps we can go someplace this evening when I return. Anywhere you'd like to go, think of some place and when I get back, we can go." She smiled, "Sounds great Jack. I'll see you tonight then." He gave her a kiss before he jumped into the air, "Definitely." as he took off.
Elsa sighed and went back upstairs to her room, she sat down on her bed. She formed a miniature snowman again, the same as the one's from Burgess. It came to life, it seemed to do what she said to do. She wished for it to throw a snowball, it would throw snowballs. If she wished for it to do anything, it would in return do the same. So unless this thing was told to do something, it wouldn't do anything. So how did it do those terrible things? She thought of Pitch, but the Guardians said he wasn't to blame, they would know. She sat there in confusion, her head started to hurt. Her confusion turned into frustration, but noticed the snowman was reacting when she was in her usteadied state.
She felt her mind become worried, had she really caused them to react after she left? The snowman continued to react whenever her mind wandered to something else. Soon she tried something else, she remembered being afraid, the snowman would grow ice. That's what they did in Burgess apparently, used ice and caused chaos among the town. How could the snowman have done this, she had nothing to be afraid of when they attacked? She quickly dismissed the snowman and is was no more. She huffed and laid back on the bed, "So it was my doing, but how?" Her head throbbed the more she thought about it. She decided to clear her mind and take a trip. She didn't know where to go, but needed to get out.
She found herself floating like normal and she made her down the mountains. She felt her mind drift and before she knew it she was in a new location. She was in a villiage, a place she had never been to before. She glanced around, there was not much, but a few homes and a couple of buildings. She glanced at her surroundings, she was in the midst of the mountains, the villiage lay at the base of it. She landed and wandered about, before she decided to tour the area. She felt her mind free and clear of any bad thoughts. She felt at ease, not having to worry about anything. She knew no one could see her, so she made her way through the villiage. People were doing their daily routines, and a couple of kids were outside playing. She remembered the day she and Jack played with the kids in Burgess, bringing a smile to her lips.
She explored further before she heard something, it sounded like a scream. She hurried and looked around, and saw nothing. Then she heard it again, though it didn't sound human this time. She continued her search when she spotted something dark from the wooded area. She went to get a closer look, it took off, further up into the mountains. It didn't sound right and decided to investigate further. She followed it, she noticed it left a dark trail of black shadows behind it. It did't take long until she spotted it up ahead, she eyed it carefully. It was a demonic looking creature, it snarled when it spotted her. She glared at it, not wanting to set it off. She watched it maneuver and poise as if it was going to attack. She really didn't know what this thing was or where it came from, but it didn't look good.
She went to back away, it snarled at her again, she froze. She held her hand ready, she didn't know what to expect, but when it decided to vanish, she really wasn't expecting that. She glanced around her, trying to find out where it went. She turned around when she heard a twig snap. She shot her ice in that direction, but there was nothing. She glanced around just as the creature lunged at her. She felt it pin her to the ground, she yelped shooting ice into it. It growled and backed off. She quickly got to her feet, and took off. The creature following her, matching her stride for stride. She turned and shot more ice at it, it howled and smacked into a tree. It snapped from the blow slightly, the creature shook its head before readying itself once more.
Elsa glanced around, she had to get it to go somewhere else, but at the same time, not get caught by it again. She watched as he studied her movement, trying to decide which way to go. She watched as it backed away slightly, she looked at it confused like. She heard something behind her, she turned and faced it, "Pitch!" He nodded, "Stand aside, that is something you don't want to play around with." She glared, "What are you doing here?" He eyed her, "Was looking for that and here I run into you." She glanced back at the creature, he growled at them, "What is that and why are you looking for it?" Pitch snickered, "It's a shadow creature, it tends to wander from time to time and cause trouble." She watched the creature decipher who it should jump at, "Something of yours?" Pitch slowly approached, "Not exactly."
She glanced back at him, "Either it is or isn't." Pitch shrugged, "It's not something I sent out here, it just does as it pleases. I just need to put it back." She glared, "Then do so before I do." Pitch laughed, "I'd love to see you try my dear." The creature roared and decided to pounce, Pitch glared as it lunged at her, he shot it back, though he didn't fully understand why he wanted to protect her. She gasped when it just barely scratched her as Pitch knocked it back. He approached her to help her, "Are you ok?" She pushed his hand aside, her arm bleeding slightly, "I'm fine, I don't need your help." as she glanced at her cut. Her arm wasn't healing, "What the?" Pitch grinned, "It's a shadow creature, not something your type can heal against so easily." The creature got back to its feet, Elsa readied herself and shot a large ice blast it's way, Pitch's eyes widened at the power she unleashed.
She watched the creature become solid ice, frozen in an awkward position, it's body bent in all sorts of distubring ways. Pitch eyed her in amusement, she just killed it off, "Such power, you managed to kill it ." Her eyes widened, "I did not." Pitch laughed, "Oh my dear, yes you did. That creature will not come back, I would know." She faced him, her eyes flared at him, "Stop saying that." pointing her finger at him. He held his hands up, "I didn't do anything, you did. Still haven't controlled that temper of yours have you?" She glared, her voice shouting in his direction, shooting ice his way, "I said stop it!" Pitch grunted at the blow, the sound echoing around them. She fell to her knees huffing, Pitch chuckled, "As you wish Elsa, I was only trying to help you." as he vanished.
She heard a rumbling sound, things beneath her shook, she slowly got to her feet. She glanced around her, her eyes widened, she quickly used her abilities to move faster. The snow around her in the mountains began to fall: an avalanche. She got out of the mountains and stumbled to her feet, she glanced behind her as the snow flowed down the mountain trails completely destroying things. She felt her heart stop, her eyes widened: the villiage. She watched as the snow devoured everything around it and more. She stood there motionless, her heart literally felt like it was shattering. It only took seconds for things to to be completely destroyed. Once the snow finally ceased, she approached slowly, her eyes just in a blank stare, "What have I done?"
You killed them Elsa, the Guardians will surely find out about this.
She felt her hands cover her mouth, stifling a gasp. She shook her head, "No, no this isn't happening. I didn't mean to hurt anybody, I was just trying to stop bad things from happening." her hands now grasping the sides of her head.
Run Elsa, they will be displeased with you.
She shook her head, "I can't, I didn't mean to. Jack where are you?" feeling tears pool in her eyes.
He cannot help you now, none of them can. You killed them, you are not what they hoped for.
She felt more tears form, her body shaking, "No, I didn't mean for this to happen. This can't be happening."
Come to me Elsa, before it's too late. They will come for you, they will be displeased with you.
She clenched her fists, frost sparking from her finger tips, "No, I'm not a killer." She jumped when she felt a hand touch her arms, "Elsa, come with me. Let me help you." she turned to face him once more. Elsa wanted to back away, "I didn't do this, it was an accident." Pitch nodded, "I know, they on the other hand will not see that. You are different than they are, let me help you find yourself. Come with me." holding his hand out for her. She eyed him carefully, he was right, they couldn't help her, she was not what they wanted. Jack was wrong. Pitch grinned feeling her hands slip into his, he grasped it and pulled her towards him, "Come my dear. I can help you." She glanced up at him, her eyes looking into his, she felt different. Pitch grinned, "Let us go before it's too late." watching her blue eyes focus on nodded and followed Pitch into the shadows, little did either of them know, Tooth witnessed this and took off back towards North's shop.
They appeared back in his lair, she glanced at him, "I don't understand, make the voices in my head stop." He felt a smirk appear and played along, "What voices Elsa?" She pulled her hand from his, "The one's you keep whispering inside my head." Pitch shook his head, "I've done no such thing, it's something that comes to very few. I hear it too Elsa." watching her closely. She glanced at him, "Why? What does that make me?" He smiled at her, "Perfection, and I intend to make you better. Are you ready for that now?" She slolwy nodded, "Yes Pitch, show me what I must do now." feeling herslef now having to trust him. She could never look Jack in the eye after this, how could he accept her being what he despises. Pitch pulled her to him, "Do you trust me?" She shivered at his touch, it still felt wrong, but what choice did she have now, "Yes."
Pitch smirked, "Good, just relax. Let go of everything, let me in." his fingers curling up along her face. She winced and slowly nodded, "Ok." Pitch pulled out a necklace from his pocket, "This will help you." She watched him hold it for her to put on, she turned around. Pitch wrapped the chain around her neck, it hung loosely, he clasped the clips together. He turned her back to face him, "Trust me." he whispered, his fingers positioning the red gem. It hung just above her clevage, she winced when she felt something pinch her. She glanced down, the gem imbeded into her skin, she glanced at him, she felt weakened, "What is this?" He caught her before she collapsed, his finger tracing the red gem lightly, it glowed, she gasped feeling it seep its dark energy into her, "It's a special gem, to help fix that light inside you. It will help you embrace your dark side."
She looked at him, "How was this supposed to help me?" her body twinging from the pain in her chest. He smirked, his lips pressed against her ear, "It wasn't, it was to help myself. I now have you where I want you, and there is nothing to stop it." She felt pain shoot through her heart, she shoved him away from her. She went to get away, but fell to the floor, she clutched where the gem was imbedded, it wouldn't budge. She felt the dark energy consume her thoughts, she rolled onto her back, Pitch hovered over her, "I shall see you when you awake my queen." and then her thoughts went blank.
Hours later, Jack returned back to the ice palace. It was late afternoon, he got done a bit later than he thought he would. He glanced around the palace, it was quiet. He called for Elsa, but got a different response, "Elsa's not here Jack." as he jumped towards the voice. He eyed North, Tooth stood next to him. Jack eyed them both confused, "What do you mean? Where is she?" North sighed, "She is with Pitch. There has been a catastrophy." Jack's eyes widened, "Is she alright, is she hurt, tell me what happened?" he shouted. North held his hands up, "Easy Jack, Elsa is fine, but she went with him after an avalanche. Tooth saw the whole thing, there was an avalanche, it destroyed a small villiage, people are dead Jack. It may have been an accident, but Pitch was able to get her to follow him. We aren't entirely sure of the whole story." Jack yelled in frustration, "You have got to be kidding me! Tooth why the hell didn't you do anything?" pointing his staff in her direction.
Tooth flinched, North stood in front of her, "That's enough Jack, she only heard and saw what little she did. There was no way she could have intervened with Pitch, he is strong again as you have said. She witnessed his magic, his black sand was everywhere, but not visible to Elsa." Jack threw his staff in frustraition, "Dammit North, why aren't we doing something about this? We have to get her away from him." Tooth spoke up, "What if she doesn't want to Jack? She left with him willingly, I cannot say for sure what happened. I just know that I saw Elsa react to something. She was angry and used her powers and the next thing there was the avalanche." Jack growled, "She would never go with him, she would never do something like that." North sighed, "I hope you are right Jack, I fear what Pitch may do to her, she can become very dangerous if he gets to her."
Jack sighed, "So what do we do now North?" He glanced at him, "We get with the others, let them know what's happening. We have to find her before it's too late." Jack nodded, North tossed a snow globe, they lept through the portal.
Ok yeah here we go. I hope everyone will be pleased with this, the idea came to me and I went with it. I thought it would be perfect, and now Jack will have to save her from this darkness she will become. OOOH I have high hopes for this lol. Anywho just hit me up with a review and let me know what you think and I will see all you guys in the next chapter!
