ChiiChii-San: Yeah it is.
NamoilovesJelsa: No, she didn't.
ziabee: Well I usually update about 9-10pm which means I'm probably about 11 hours ahead. Ah the rule about cell phones, that was how it was like at my school. At Uni, it's nothing like that. Um, that doesn't sound anything like computer programing. Just sounds like a typical computer class. At uni we learn how to code programs, learn coding languages e.g. Java, Python etc. Yeah it picks up heaps.
Guest Reviews: 500 words on one page? That doesn't sound right. Go do homework. Well I have probably a lot more free than you. I'm at Uni not school.
Guest (Banana): Answered in this chapter.
maggie98: Well I wasn't sure that Ariel and Eric would be in this story when I started it. They're probably not going to appear. Yay! Go write lots of Jelsa stories!
1BookWorm: Fav character in Frozen? No brainer, Elsa is my fav.
keegonmegson: Ah well, did you get a pass and he/she didn't? If so, go you! But bad luck for your friend. Sorry about the wait. I upload at the end of my day and then spend the next day writing, so sorry.
Chapter 38: Getting Their Man
When Jack had entered the burning building, Bunnymund's heart sank so deep into the pit of his stomach. But when he came out of that building, Bunnymund felt like hugging him a killing him at the same time. Bunnymund came over to where Jack was. He was standing in the ambulance while the paramedics placed an oxygen mask over Elsa and started inserting an IV into her arm. Bunnymund really got a look at her. She really did look worse for wear. There were scars over her body and what looked like scorch marks on her chest. What had Pitch done to her? Bunnymund thought. Speaking of Pitch, where was he? Bunnymund looked around but he couldn't see him. Pitch probably slithered away into the deepest of pits to live. Bunnymund instead focused on the thing in front of him; Jack who was refusing medical treatment until Elsa was fine. The paramedics were trying to help him by doing a check-up but Jack wasn't making their job any easier. It was understandable that he wanted to make sure that Elsa was top priority. He only had minor cuts, bruises and burns. Elsa looked as if she had been through hell and back which, Bunnymund reckoned, was a pretty good assumption of what had happened.
"Hey," he said to Jack. "She okay?"
"I think so," Jack said. "She's breathing which is the main thing."
"Yeah," Bunnymund agreed nodding his head. "Listen, mate, did you see someone else in the building?"
Jack thought hard. "I thought I heard something around but I didn't pay much attention to it as Elsa was the only thing on my mind."
"Understandable," Bunnymund said, "but you're sure that no one else was in the building?"
"If you're talking about Pitch, then no I didn't see him," Jack said. "I figured that he had already left the building."
"But the fire was just set," Bunnymund said. "Wasn't it?"
"I don't know," Jack shrugged.
"Because if it hadn't, wouldn't Elsa had been burnt to a crisp?"
"True," Jack said.
Bunnymund thought hard. If Pitch had only just set the fire then that would mean he was still around and if he was still around…Bunnymund combed the area. His piercing brown eyes narrowed as he eyed the landscape. With all the police presence, he couldn't have gone far, so that meant he was close by. Bunnymund couldn't see a figure anywhere. It was like hunting Bigfoot. There were plenty of decent spots that Pitch could hide in. He knew the terrain better than they did. Well that was the assumption they were working on.
Bunnymund headed over to his father who was talking to other officers. He looked like he had a map out in front of him. It looked like he was mapping the area. He was probably looking for Pitch. Well it appeared that father like son had the same idea. His father looked up when he approached.
"Any luck?" Bunnymund asked.
"In finding Black?" his father said. "Nothing yet. Did Jack give you anything?"
"Nothing," Bunnymund said.
"Well I wouldn't think so," his Dad said.
Bunnymund looked down at the map. He could see that his Dad had marked out several potential areas that could be where Pitch is lurking. His Dad had even marked places that were far away from their position. Bunnymund thought that was a bit extreme. If Pitch was that far out, he would just run for it. Bunnymund thought that he was still around. He was probably biding his time, lurking in the shadows, just waiting to pounce. Bunnymund scanned the area again. He walked over to the building.
It was no longer burning. It had burnt itself out. There were only a few cinders remaining with a lot of ash. The building had collapsed on itself and there was only about a quarter of the building remaining. He kicked a few loose boards over. There was nothing left of Pitch's room of torture except ash and cinders. The police officers had already combed the area. They found the remains of what looked like a metal thing and what looked like the remains of a syringe. That was all that Bunnymund could make out. The rest looked like pile of something that Bunnymund couldn't describe.
That was when Bunnymund noticed something. There was a small forest behind the two buildings. The trees weren't too wildly spaced but enough so that someone could hide. Bunnymund pretended to stretch while he surveyed the trees. He didn't want to alert Pitch if he was hiding in those trees. When he looked over he could see the outline of something and that something looked like a person. If that was a person, then it could be Pitch. Who else could it be? Bunnymund casually walked over pretending to be looking back at the crime scene. If Pitch was looking at him, hopefully he wasn't thinking that Bunnymund had spotted him.
Bunnymund turned around and saw the clear outline of a tall, thin man with dark skin and hair to match. This man must be Pitch Black. They both stared at each other. Their eyes met. Pitch then tried to run for it but Bunnymund was a lot faster than he was. Sure, Pitch may have gotten a bit of a head start but Bunnymund sprinted towards him. Bunnymund didn't win all those running events in school for nothing. He was soon on Pitch's tail, although all the thick brunches didn't help Bunnymund as they only got in the way. Bunnymund just hoped that Pitch didn't have anything sneaky up his sleeve. Bunnymund then tackled Pitch to the ground and being something like twice or three times his size, Bunnymund didn't have any problems with subduing him. Bunnymund gripped both of Pitch's hands behind his back with one of his while his other arm was firmly around Pitch's chest.
"Why hello here," Bunnymund said to Pitch. "We've been looking for you. You have a lot to answer for."
Bunnymund led Pitch out of the forest and towards where the cops were. They all looked up when Bunnymund approached and they let out a cheer. A few of them came forwards and helped to handcuff Pitch before dragging him over to a police car. People were whacking him on the back, telling him that he did a good job. Bunnymund certainty thought so. Pitch was now in custody and he couldn't hurt anyone ever again. They would prosecute him for his crimes back in Arendelle and the crimes here. Elsa would testify against him and put him away for good. Bunnymund wandered over to Jack again. He looked excited at all what was going on.
"What happened?" Jack said. He was currently getting himself checked out and was being cleared. "Is it Pitch? Did you get him?"
"Yes I did," Bunnymund said smiling wildly. "He was hiding out in the woods," Bunnymund jabbed his thumb over to the woods.
"I'm glad that bastard got what was coming to him," Jack muttered.
"Yeah," Bunnymund said. "Why don't you head off with Elsa to the hospital and I'll call Anna to meet you there?"
"Sounds like a plan," Jack said.
Anna and Kristoff were waiting in the local police station in Burgess. It had seemed like many hours had passed but really only a couple had passed. Anna hadn't heard anything since the text she got from Jack saying that they were on their way but that had been it. There had been nothing else. Every second that Anna didn't hear anything, the worst her nerves got and Anna's nerves were horrible. Her foot was tapping against the floor of the police station and she had her hands clamped together. She just wanted to hear the words 'Elsa is okay'. That was all she wanted to hear. Just those three little words that would mean so much to her. That was all.
Kristoff didn't look much better than her but he was a lot calmer. Maybe he was just a lot better at keeping his stress under his hat. He kept saying stuff like it was going to be alright and that Elsa will be found. Anna wanted to believe him. She wanted to believe him more than anything but there was a small dark voice in the back of her head whispering evil things. Anna tried to ignore it but with the length between news increasing, the voice got louder. Anna shook it out of her head. She still had her gut feeling that Elsa was still alive but the feeling was slowly disappearing. Did that mean that she no longer believed it or that Elsa was slowly dying?
"She has to be okay," Anna kept repeating to herself. "She just has to."
Anna wouldn't know what she would do without her older sister. Probably cry a lot and freeze in her tracks, be paralysed. She would be angry with the world; first her parents and then her sister? What kind of crazy karma would that be? If Elsa died, so would Anna's entire world. She would move on because she would have to but just like when her parents died, a hole would be taken from her heart.
Suddenly Anna's phone started to ring. Anna almost jumped up in fright. She looked through her purse for her phone for a good few minutes muttering 'where is it' before she realised that her phone had been sitting right next to her in case someone decided to call her. She realised when Kristoff picked up the phone and waved it in her face. Kristoff sighed in an amusing way which Anna did not appreciate. Anna saw that the caller I.D said Bunnymund. She felt a tad disappointment. She had been hoping to speak to Jack. Nevertheless, she answered the phone. Her voice trembled with anticipation.
"Anna," Bunnymund said. Anna couldn't tell if he was happy or upset. Please be happy, she silently begged. "Great news," Bunnymund continued and Anna felt a huge weight be taken off her shoulders. "Jack is on the way to the hospital with Elsa as we speak."
"Is she okay?" Anna asked nervously.
"It looks like it," Bunnymund said and Anna felt another massive weight taken off her shoulders. "I suggest you head over to the hospital now and meet up with them. She's been taken to Burgess General Hospital."
"Will do, thanks Bunny," Anna said before hanging up.
She and Kristoff moved quickly. They hurried as fast as they could to the hospital. It wasn't a far drive from the station. Anna couldn't stop smiling. Elsa had been found and she was okay. She couldn't believe it. This had been the outcome she had wanted. It seemed like all her worrying had been for nothing.
They soon arrived at the hospital. Anna asked after Elsa and the nurse told her where to go. Anna and Kristoff hurried into the elevator and up a few flights. They found Jack in a hospital room holding the hand of a blonde girl; Elsa. Anna could feel her heart pounding as she entered the room. Elsa was hooked up to a bunch of machines and she looked worse for wear. The doctors had done a good job at patching her up. Her eyes were closed but the heartrate monitor was giving out a good heartrate and Anna could see the gentle rising of Elsa's chest. Jack looked up when Anna walked in.
"How is she?" were the first words out of Anna's mouth.
"Okay," Jack said. "The doctors are confident that she will make a full recovery."
"That's good," Kristoff said.
Anna and Kristoff took a seat next to Jack. Anna kept her eyes on Elsa. Time passed them by. Kristoff had time to go and get food for them and come back. Long after the food had been eaten, Elsa still was unconscious. Being a nurse, Anna had a sneak peek at her chart and was happy with what she saw. She knew it wasn't exactly ethical to have a look at Elsa's chart but she really wanted to know what her doctors were saying. According to the charts, there wasn't anything in there that wasn't unexpected from what Elsa had gone through. However, Anna did get a nasty feeling from what she read but she liked the comments from the doctor Night fell. Anna only realised when a nurse came in and told them that visiting times were over. Anna didn't want to leave. She wanted to be here when she woke up but the nurse stubbornly held her ground and told them all to go. Anna did so but not in a very good mood. She vented about it all the way home. She couldn't go to sleep. She was too worried about Elsa.
She kept thinking about what would happen if she never woke up? But that was ridiculous. Elsa wasn't in some coma and the doctors were happy with what was going on with her stats.. Anna, feeling some relief at last, settled down and managed to get some sleep.
Anna, Kristoff and Jack headed back to the hospital first thing. Elsa still wasn't awake yet so they settled down for the long hall. Anna had a quick chat with her doctor who expected that Elsa should be awake soon. That brought some comfort to Anna. She settled down in the same seat she had been in the previous night and whipped out a magazine. She kept one eye on Elsa though, in case she missed something.
It was hours later, way after lunch had been and gone, did something happen. Elsa opened her eyes. There had been this sound, kind of a combination of a chock and a cough and then she opened her eyes. Everyone froze when this happened. Elsa looked up at them all.
"What happened?" she asked. Her voice sounded a little weak but Anna was confident that would change with time.
"We should be asking you that," Kristoff smiled at her.
"I remember being tied to a chair," Elsa said. "Then the place burning up. Then blank."
"Jack saved you," Anna said while Jack blushed a little.
Elsa smiled at Jack.
"So you're feeling okay now?" Anna said.
"I think so," Elsa said. "I'm not really sure."
"Well you look better than when I saw you in that ambulance," Jack said.
"That's good," Elsa sighed. "So what happened to Pitch?"
"So it was him?" Kristoff asked. "We all figured it was but it's good to hear some confirmation."
"Yeah it was," Elsa sighed again. "Man it was strange to see him like that."
"What do you mean?" Jack asked.
"Well," Elsa said, explaining, "whenever I would see him, he would always try and butter me up as I would probably end up being his future employer. He probably wanted to make sure that the next in line liked him. He would smooze as much as he could. He tried to connect with me which is a bit strange as I was like only a teenager when I met him, well not the first time, I was more like twelve, and Pitch would be in his forties."
"Well like you said," Kristoff said. "Trying to smooze the boss."
"I probably would have fired him if Dad didn't," Elsa admitted. "I always got the creepiest vibe off him. It always gave me shivers down my spine. I did not like that guy."
"To be fair," Anna said, "I don't think anyone did. He wasn't a very likeable guy well unless you're into that kind of stuff like my ex."
"What?" Elsa exclaimed trying to sit up but Jack pushed her back down.
"Easy," he said. "No sudden movements."
"What?" Elsa said trying to stay calm but it was a losing battle.
"Well Hans and Pitch go way back apparently," Anna said. "Apparently when Pitch escaped the authorities in Arendelle, he came over here to buddy up with an old friend of his and Hans funded his crazy experiments."
"So Hans was involved?" Elsa said.
"Not with you though," Kristoff said hurridly. "The police found out that he was really mad when he connected Pitch with your kidnapping. Pitch was only supposed to take people who wouldn't be missed if they were taken but you were a different story. Everyone was practically looking for you."
"But Hans was involved in everything else," Anna said. "Phone records prove that."
"I still can't believe this," Elsa said. "But then again, evil loves company."
Anna suddenly felt something strange. She clutched her stomach and got a really weird expression on her face which everyone noticed.
"You okay?" Kristoff asked.
Anna grabbed his arm. "My water just broke," she said in a small voice.
"What?" Kristoff jumped up as he shouted.
"Luckily you are in a hospital," Jack said.
"Yeah it is," Anna agreed as she carefully got up out of her chair.
Kristoff was still panicking as he led her down to the reception desk. Anna thought that their roles would be reserved; that he would be the cool, calm collected one and she would be panicking. Kristoff somehow managed to communicate to the nurse behind the desk what was happening. She led them up into the maternity ward and gave Anna a private room where Anna's OBYGN doctor walked in. She gave Anna a smile and told her that she was at three centimetres. A couple of hours rolled by which were agony for Anna. The labour was quite painful for her. Kristoff tried to be a good coach and Anna didn't have the heart to tell him that he wasn't doing a very good job and that he was only making it worst.
Jack sauntered in a few times with updates from Elsa. Her doctor had already checked her out and said that she was well in truly on her way a full recovery, although it would take a bit of time for that to happen. Anna was happy when she heard these. It was quite a good distraction from the pain of labour. Jack would be the little messenger boy, going between each sister to give the other updates on the other. Apparently Elsa wanted to be with her but getting up was quite beyond her at the moment. Jack had also told them that the police had already come to talk to Elsa about what had happened. It had been horrible for Jack to hear what that lunatic Pitch Black did to her. It made him sick and it made Anna's imagination run wild which made her feel sick too. But at least they had him in custody and were charging him with the kidnapping and the attempted murder of Elsa along with several other crimes that they can attribute to him including those back in Arendelle. Pitch was looking like a life behind bars and it wouldn't be long till Hans joined him there.
After what seemed like hours, Anna's doctor finally told her that it was time to go to the delivery room. Anna never felt more relief in that moment.
"Okay Anna," her doctor said when they were in the delivery room. "Push."
Elsa was waiting in her room. It had been some time since Anna had been taken away to have her baby. Elsa was quite anxious. Anna was having her little nephew after all.
"How much longer?" she moaned to her husband.
"Be patient my love," Jack said.
"But I wanna see my little nephew," Elsa whined.
It wasn't long after that did Elsa get her wish. Anna came in, on a wheelchair being pushed by Kristoff, holding a new born baby wrapped in a white blanket. Elsa gasped with surprise when she came in.
"Elsa," Anna said. "Meet your new nephew Josef Kristoff Bjorgman."
Elsa took him from Anna with some great difficulty. She gazed down at him. She could see Kristoff's hair and eyes in the little boy. He looked so perfect and adorable. Elsa couldn't wait till she was spending time with him, taking him to sport practices, babysitting, helping him with school work, the whole package. Jack seemed to be as taken with his new nephew just as much as Elsa did.
"Hello," Elsa said to Josef. "I'm Aunt Elsa and I am happy to introduce you to the world."
