Frozen in Time
Me: Hey y'all. Hope last chapter got your hearts warm, 'cause there's drama around the bend. EMJOY THE CHAPTER! THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO REVIEWED!
I don't know why, but I attempted to reach into his mind. It was a long shot.
I opened my mind to see what the horrible nightmares he was having were about. The scene was changing, and he seemed to be watching powerless. The current nightmare included me. "Jack!" the nightmare me said. It walked up to him, and laughed. "You were wrong about me, I was never in love with you. I've been lying the whole time Jack." The nightmare version of me walked away to kiss Pitch on the cheek.
So he did still care, but it was hurting him. I looked at his hair. It was going black. I heard Pitch's evil laughter fill the area.
"Still think you can handle anything, Jack? Elsa is outside, trying to get to you."
"What do you want Pitch?"
"You out of the way. Elsa goes away if you go away. Two threats gone in one blow."
"What is this?"
"It's a little something cooked up with the help of a friend. Fear serum. A most beautiful concoction, if I do say so."
"Why is my hair turning black?"
"The longer you're here, the deeper you fall. The deeper you fall, the less likely you are to escape. Your hair is the measure of how deep you're in."
"Why are you doing this?"
"Revenge. If I get rid of you, it gives me another shot at ruling the world with fear."
"How do I escape?"
"Oh my dear boy, there is only one escape. If I told you how, it would ruin the fun."
"Elsa won't let you get away with this."
"The longer she stays with you, the more she does."
I almost gasped. Pitch was right.
"Who is your friend?"
"Some one you know so very dearly, and he has been helping me very well. Any other person will give you the same answer. He'll play cool and rub it off."
"Is it a guardian?"
"Yes."
I was right that a guardian had set me up.
"What question do I have to ask them?"
Pitch laughed. "You'll never get out of here in time to find out."
Jack whimpered as more of his hair turned black. "If so, why not tell me?"
Pitch sighed. "I guess you're right. Ask them this:-"
A stone dropped from where I was. My eyes widened. Pitch didn't notice me, but he noticed the stone. If he found me, I was dead.
Me: Elsa, nice new power! Well, since she can't talk right now, bye! KEEP THE FIRE BURNING!
