Chapter 12

When Elsa awoke that very night, she scratched her head in confusion and stared around the room. After a minute it all started flooding back to her. the memory that stood out to her most was of her child's first cry's and her pleading to hold her. she grew angry just thinking how they refused her the right. "Those bastereds will pay for what they did" the longing to hold her child was so strong that her only thought if they refused to hand her back over was to kill them in cold blood.

"To hell with this" She hopped off the metal table surprised to feel no pain at all. She'd just given birth and yet she was able to get to her feet so easy.

Ignoring that for the moment, she peeked outside the room. The hallway was totally empty giving Elsa the courage to step out. slowly but surely she moved past a couple rooms picking up a very familiar scent but was more focused on finding her child at that moment then anything. Not knowing it was Jack that she was smelling.

0000000

There it was, that familiar smell. "No it can't be..." He thought to himself "Can it." he got out of bed and went to the door, the smell was starting to fade and he hit his head against the door "I must be going out of my mind. Still..." he uselessly jiggled the doorknob.

"That's not gonna help." He heard Kovu tell him. The room was pitch black but he could still make out his shadowy figure on the bunk bed.

"Yeah well you got a better idea?"

He grew quiet for a moment "Here's one." He finally said "if you try to escape again and get my sister punished because of it I'll slit your throat and use your mangled corpse as a punching bag. Got that mutt?" Not waiting for an answer he turned over on his side.

He thought Jack would head his threat and go back to bed but minutes later he heard a clicking sound. He jumped up right away eyeing Jack in confusion as the door creeked open.

"How did you..."

"I didn't." He said, his eyes focused on the blonde haired woman standing in front of the door "Hello jack."

"Do I know you?" He asked, eyeing her in confusion. She put her hands behind her back and rolled nervously on the balls of her feet "No. I only know you from the visions in my head."

"V-Visions?"

"Yes, I can see bits and pieces of the future. I'll explain more later right now you gotta get out of here before the guards come back."

She took his hand and put something in his palm. He opened it revealing an envelope "what's this..."

"Open it later, for now you gotta get going." She put her hands on his back, it took him a minute to realize she was trying to push him forward.

He got the hint, thanked her and took off down the hallway. As he ran he placed the envelope in his pocket and followed the scent again.

His nose led him to a lab on the next floor, He hide behind a corner waiting for the girl who'd just come out of the room to leave. She was patting both her pockets and saying something under her breath. "Damn it, where did I..."

A look of shock crossed her face. "Oh great. They better be there." She took off down the hallway. He waited till she was out of sight before making his way towards the Lab door. He eyed it carefully.

"Alright lets see what's in here."

He jiggled the doorknob and it opened without a hitch. It seemed to easy so he cautiously made his way into the room and looked around.

There were so many unusual smells in the air but one particularly strong one that stood out from the rest. He scoffed softly "I knew it..."

"Yes..."

He jumped at the sound, Pitch's gangly figure stood at the doorway "I do believe congratulations are in order" His hands were behind his back as he made his way into the room "congratulations for what?" Jack asked taking a step back every time Pitch tried to get close to him. "You've finally figured it out. As I knew you would"

"Alright that's it, you better start making sense old man. Tell me why it smells like Elsa's just been in here when she supposedly died months ago!" Pitch smiled but remained tightlipped "You wont talk. Fine, I'll make you fuckin talk!" growing more frustrated with his lack of answers Jack raised a fist to swing but suddenly froze finding himself unable to move. like some sort of invisible force was holding him back.

"What the..."

He noticed it then, a young girl around 7 years of age was standing behind Pitch. She had long jet black hair and chocolate brown eyes.

"Lilo thats enough." gazing up at him for a moment she released her hold on Jack and went back to playing with the doll in her left hand.

"As I was saying. we thought it would be best to tell you the other was dead so that you didn't try to escape. We wanted to make you two easier to handle. what better way then to break your wills to live?"

"So she's alive then?"

laughing whole heartedly Jack became absolutely filled to the brim with joy at just the thought of seeing Elsa again and holding her in his arms once more. that happiness didn't last long when Pitch shook his head "Afraid not, though she may have been alive for some time, some unforeseen circumstances ripped her from this world."

"wait. You lied about her being dead before why should I believe you now?" Jack challenged.

"If you don't believe me. see for yourself" he pointed a bony finger outside, "You'll find what your looking for a few rooms down from here." the girl named Lilo stepped away from the door allowing jack to pass thru.

clutching her doll close to her chest she watched Jack go with annoyance. "boy is he gonna be in for a surprise when he finds her just around the corner." Lilo laughed making her doll dance, it's creepy black eyes staring blankly back at her.

Pitch laughed to himself "that my dear is impossible seeing as the girls dead, something of which the buffoon will learn first hand when he..."

"But she's not dead." Lilo said fixing the ribbon on her doll scrump who was her only friend. Pitch stared at her in surprise "What?" he said it in a low sort of monotone, trying to be sure of what he heard.

"The girls not dead, I saw her. she's looking for her baby." She paused for a moment "I saw pictures of her in my head." Her attention was now fully fixated on the doll "I've been getting them for a while now."

Looking up in surprise, she stared after Pitch puzzled. He was already walking away mumbling something incoherent under his breath. She quickly followed behind him "Papa are you angry?"

No answer, but she could tell he was by the red aura that was surounding his thin and lanky body. suddenly freezing where she stood, she got another pain going thru her head. it was a side effect that came with her gift. one which she learned to live with. "ow..." Pausing for a moment she grabbed her head and blacked out before coming back to her senses.

by then she looked completely stunned, more so then usual "Something really bad is gonna happen." She told her doll "really...really bad..."

0000000000

"c'mon you stupid thing, open" Elsa struggled with the doorknob but couldn't get it to budge. she'd been up and down that entire hallway and finally found the door she was certain they were holding her baby behind. Problem was it was locked and unless she could transform into her wolf form she didn't have enough strength to break it down, she fiddled with the cuff but it didn't budge. she was growing beyond frustrated. that's when she heard a faint voice calling her name.

"Elsa..."

She whirled around and looked down the darkened empty hallway, the voice called to her again and she found herself following it. "Who's there? And what do you want with me?" She called stupidly. No answer but she continued to follow where the voice had come down from.

"Are you there? Please say something" She said it louder this time, still nothing. "C'mon I know your there I can feel it. now what do you want with me?"

"Over here..." The voice suddenly echoed "This way...I'm trapped...please help..."

she saw it then, a pale skinned blonde haired girl "Who are you?" She asked, though the girl didn't speak. she remained frozen in place "How do you know my name?"

Still no answer, the girl's face was emotionless. Her expression blank. without thinking Elsa held out a hand but the girl flinched back and took off running "Wait!" Elsa stupidly took off after her, her gut instinct telling her to run faster to which she did. the girl lead her down a pitch black hallway and disappeared from sight. Elsa didn't understand why or who the girl was.

That's when she suddenly heard it. A very familar cry, her heart suddely began racing like a jackrabbits as she realized the girl had led her to her baby.

Now all she had to do was open that door, she started reaching for the doorknob. her hands shaking more then normal. "C'mon you can do this." she told herself, with more determination then anything she turned the doorknob and pushed the door open.

"Don't worry baby, Mama's coming..."

Not knowing that a familiar set of blue eyes was watching her just a few feet away. His legs like jelly and his heart skipping a beat as he watched her head into the room. He felt like he was seeing a ghost. "Here goes..." He was so excited that his slow paced walking turned into a full out run.
