Chapter 8:
Winter Charm

Ice and snow began to cover the grounds of the woods, the trees and the rocks. Every inch of the castle was glaze in ice and snow began to fall from the skies. Thick, dark clouds covered the skies as snow fell heavily, the wind was ruthless and strong, breaking a few trees it howled into the night. The temperature dropped rapidly due to one man's rage.

Jack Frost stood in the center of his fortress, thick shards of ice surrounded him as he glared at nothing in front of him. Anger swelled in his chest as he recalled the scene happened just moments ago. That woman was really putting herself into danger and it was starting to bother him. Closing his eyes, he forced himself to calm down, he hadn't lost control of his powers since he was a mere hatchling. But that wretched human woman had snapped something within him, a slip of his control momentarily and he was ready to turn her.

Growling deeply, Jack reopened his eyes. With the way everything that has been happening, there was no way he would turn her anytime soon. She was being too careless in the positions she had, intentionally or not, put herself in. She was beginning to irritate him, just being alone in his castle where she had already more than once been in life threatening situations. If that was really going to happen every time she was alone, then she might as well better get use to being by his side.

The sound of heels walking on ice brought his attention back to the world. Jack turned his head towards the woman walking to him.

Tooth stopped just a few feet away from him, her face unusually void of any emotion. It was always strange for him to see her that way, she normally had a smile on her face. She is usually a spirited woman, and there was only so many times he had seen that blank look on her face. It was a face she made when she was being threatened, or when she felt the need to guard her emotions, or... when he had said or done something that really bothered her.

Jack regarded her with a bit of unease, after all, Tooth was the only one who truly knew Jack Frost. She knew exactly what set him off, and she knew how to unsettle him.

The cold skin of her hand gently trailed along his neck, her nails grazing his jaw line. Through the haze of it all, it was flesh pressed against flesh, and it was all just for pleasure.

Blinking once, Jack forced himself away from the memory that suddenly sprang into his mind. He focused his attention to Tooth, she waited for him to get his bearings while still having that void expression, and that was beginning to set Jack on edge. He guarded himself for whatever she had to say.

With a very small frown on her face, Tooth sighed deeply. "She's only human Jack." She caught him off guard, as always. He frowned in confusion. "She is in a much more different world now, one filled with darkness. Much different than in the one she use to live in." It had just occurred to him that Tooth was talking about Elsa. Tooth took a step closer to him. "She may have adjusted to the life she is living in now, but you cannot expect her to just always do as you say when you demand her to. You can't turn her with the way she is now, you have to do something about it."

She had unconsciously moved closer to him, her hand now on his arm as she tried to get him to understand her words. "You need to have her by your side... From now on... and always." Her voice had just barely cracked at the last word. Jack suddenly had a rush of memories from long ago. His hands grabbed her waist, pulling her to him.

He didn't like emotions, they were always a hindrance, a weakness. But Tooth was the only exception that he could allow himself to feel, after all she was the only woman he cared for. "Not yet." He said quietly. He leaned his head down and brought his lips to hers. Her hand instinctively went to his neck, pulling him closer to deepen the kiss. Jack's hands began to roam up and down her body, he forced her mouth open with his tongue as he relished the taste of her.

They pulled apart, looking at one another and sending silent messages to each other. Their lips touched again, more harshly this time.

The doors around them were frozen shut.

Elsa hadn't known how long she was in that room, but the overwhelming feeling of suffocation had her leaving the dark chambers. The door was shut behind her, but she didn't leave to wander off again, instead she simply collapsed to the floor and leaned against the door, her legs were tucked under her. She suspected whom these chambers belonged to, but she didn't want to think about it.

She honestly didn't know what to feel at all at the moment.

Everything that had happened tonight, it was all rushing in her head and she didn't know what to make of it, what to think or how to feel. Too much has been happening in a short amount of time, in the back of her mind she had thought it was just a one big horrible nightmare and that she would wake up soon, but it wasn't. She wasn't asleep, dreaming with a vivid imagination, she really was living in a nightmare and it was far too real for her to really be away from her home, away from the people she loved, and away from her beloved sister.

There was hardly a time for her to think of home, but now that she was here, alone in the dark and with her thoughts. Elsa missed Anna, she missed her so much that her chest was hurting, feeling heavy and making it somewhat hard to breathe, but in the back of her mind she thought it was okay to feel this way, because at least she still had her humanity intact. Though she vaguely wondered how long that would last.

How long had she been here? Two weeks? A month? She didn't know anymore, she lost track of time being isolated in nothing but everlasting darkness, with no sun to ever rise. Elsa missed the sun. The warm rays that would touch her skin, and the bright beautiful days it brought to her own world. Anna was a ray of sunshine in her world, bright and happy. Elsa decided she hated the darkness, the loneliness and the danger she felt constantly. She supposed that the danger was her fault though. For most of her life she hid herself from putting people in danger, but now it seemed she was looking for danger and at the cost of her life mostly. She knew it was dangerous wherever she traveled in this castle, but she also knew that she was actively seeking that danger. She had put on a brave front, disregarding gut feelings and fears, and she wondered, was she trying to kill herself?

A sickening feeling floated in her stomach uncomfortably but Elsa had made no move to stop her thoughts. Was she unknowingly trying to kill herself because she didn't want to be here? Because she was taken for her home, her sister? Well it was making sense to Elsa as she thought of every dangerous event she put herself in, after all, she did jump out of window, thousands of feet to run away from being the bride of a vampire lord.

Did she want to die?

For some reason, Elsa couldn't even answer that herself. Just the thought of not knowing frightened her. She shouldn't even be thinking such things, Anna would never like it... But then again, she probably won't ever get the chance to see her sister again, and that left Elsa feeling depressed.

Honestly, why had she agreed to be the Vampire Lord's bride? Because she didn't want to die? Probably. But now... Things haven't been good since she arrived, sure she made a friend or two, but that didn't matter to the amount of danger she had been exposed to. It seemed every time she turned her head and got curious, danger got worse and worse for her, she kind of understood why she was trying to unknowingly commit suicide.

Elsa breathed in deeply, she tilted her head up slightly and her eyes traveled up to the darken ceiling.

There was so much more things that could end up becoming worse for her, more life threatening situations that could give her a heart attack, or she could end up dead by a vampire. Elsa couldn't help but snort. Her life had already been threatened by several vampires, what's another?

Despite her situation, Elsa was hardly surprised that she hadn't died of a heart attack yet.

When did she get use to the terrifying supernatural life? When did she stop caring about her life?

She didn't have to be here thought, no one was keeping an eye on her and Elsa was sure that she wouldn't be seeing Jack anytime soon. So she could end the hellish life she was living, no one to stop her. She could make sharp ice and horribly land on it, or she could walk back into these chambers, open the window and let herself drift into the raging snow storm outside. She didn't have to live here anymore...

A picture of Anna smiling at her came to mind then, and Elsa suddenly felt like crying. A tight overwhelming feeling of loneliness constricted on her heart, and she could feel herself breaking down. She choked on a sob as tears spilled on her cheeks. She curled in herself, her hands came to her face to hide the tears even when she knew no one was around, a loss comforting effort as she drew her knees closer.

She didn't know what to do anymore. She thought about giving up on her life but that only brought the reminder of Anna, who would be heartbroken if she ever found out that her own sister thought of jumping out the window. But then again, for all Elsa knew, Anna probably already thought she was dead. Who could possibly survive after being kidnapped for a week or two by vampires? It was very likely that Anna had come to that thought, and it hurt Elsa to think that she did. But Anna wasn't to blame for the feelings of hurt, if anything, Anna was probably devastated and crying her heart out to her long gone older sister.

Heavy guilt surged through Elsa as she continued to sob. She tried to take the easy way out, to end her nightmare. It was mostly like not an option, but Elsa might one day see her sister again and she can't do that if she's dead.

She felt like she couldn't breathe, her chest felt constricted and painful. Elsa placed her hands on the floor as she tried to get air into her lungs, but she had little success. She gasped again and again but her lungs were tightening up, refusing any air. Her vision blurred rapidly as she was beginning to lose consciousness. Desperately Elsa coughed once and breathed in. Air suddenly filled her lungs as she took in greedy breaths. Elsa collapsed on the floor, her body had suddenly felt heavy and she made no move to get up from the floor.

Tears leaked from her eyes, dripping down her cheeks and making a small puddle on the floor. Ever so slowly Elsa moved her hand to her face and softly wiped her tears. A few seconds more and she finally moved to get up. Her arms shook as she pushed herself up, they felt weak but she forced them not to give out. She sat up carefully, choosing to lean back against the door.

Elsa went back to thinking. Her thought trailed to Jack, she felt so confused about what had occurred. She didn't understand anything that happen between them, or why her body was reacting so strangely. She had felt strangely warm and sensitive, she had even let him have his mouth on her neck. Elsa shuddered as she felt her neck tingle with nerves stimulating strange pulses. She placed her hand over the kissed area. Shutting her eyes, she remembered the feel of his cold lips on hers, hard and rough. She never imagined having her first kiss stolen in such a way, and with a vampire no less either. She thought that if she were to ever kiss someone it would be short and sweet, not so forceful. Opening her eyes, she let her head softly hit the door, and she sat there staring blankly into nothing for a long time.

Heavy footsteps sounded in the hallways and Elsa made no move to acknowledge who was heading towards her. The footsteps paused for a brief moment, then they started again only sounding much softer this time. Perhaps it was not to startle her, however, she got use to the quiet that she was sure she could hear any little sound, but that was ignorant thinking on her part.

The footsteps stopped just a mere few inches from her. When they crouched down Elsa finally turned her head to acknowledge the vampire beside her. It was the big man she had seen but not properly met. The man looked at her with soft eyes, he was near but made no move to touch her.

"My Dear," His voice was low and quiet. "Why are you sitting out here on the cold floor?" Despite his accent, his voice was soft and strangely soothing.

Elsa glanced away, setting her sights on the floor. "I… I couldn't stay in there and I… I didn't know where else to go…." It was more like she couldn't go anywhere without, intentionally or not, getting into some sort of trouble.

The man said nothing for moment then nodded his head. He placed one hand on the floor, then moved himself to sit on the ground with his legs crossed. Elsa eyed him with unsure skepticism but he simply made himself comfortable and gave her a relaxed smile.

"We've crossed paths but have yet to be properly introduced. I am Nicholas, but you may call me North."

"North?" Elsa asked in a soft voice.

The vampire gave her a sheepish smile. "I spent quite a lot time up north. The North Pole, Russia, Canada. It had become a nickname."

The corners of her mouth quirked up into a tiny smile. "I didn't know vampires gave each other names."

"We knit each other's scarfs." He replied jokingly.

Elsa let out a quiet giggle, North seemed to be the playful type. "I am Elsa." She said with a small smile to which the elder vampire returned.

"The name suits you well and your accent is quite lovely." North responded sincerely.

Her smile widen a bit. "I'm Norwegian. And I like your accent too."

North winked at her. "I'm Russian. Or at least I use to be."

"Use to be?" The genuine confusion in her voice brought another smile to North's face.

"Well I suppose I still am Russian, but after being a vampire for so long I suppose you forget that you were ever human."

Elsa stared at him curiously. The unease she had felt earlier being beside the vampire has fading quickly. North had an air of calm and ease about him that left her feeling relaxed, he didn't seem to have any intentions to harm her. It was a strange feeling, but something about North had her feeling like she would be okay being around him.

"You were a human once?" She asked.

"Yes, a very long time ago." A pensive look appeared on his face as he stared ahead. "It's been awhile since I have remembered anything from my human life. I almost don't remember much of it." The pensive look disappeared quickly replaced with a sheepish look. "Not many of us remember much of our human lives and we don't ponder about it at all, we accept our fate as vampires for all eternity."

"Are all vampires here have been human before?" Elsa asked as she tucked her legs underneath, getting comfortable on the floor.

The smile remained on North's face. "Mostly. Some have been turned when they were very young so they have no memories of their human life. But there is only one born a pure bread vampire, and he is the Vampire Lord." He explained. "His father, Dracula, cursed to be a vampire forever, yet turned it around into his favor and had a pure bread offspring gifted with the power of ice. Jack Frost is the only living pure bread while the rest of us have been turned."

"How cruel." Elsa's voice was hard and the scowl on her face surprised North all together. "He took your lives away without a choice!"

The older vampire gave her a sympathetic look, shaking his head. "You have it wrong." He said softly, confusing the young woman. "While Dracula was alive, we who have been turned by him did not have a choice in the matter, however, Jack is nothing like his father. He has given the others a choice to become one or not."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, take Astrid for example. Seventy-five years ago, vampires and werewolves were fighting each other near a village. Astrid's village. Her village was destroyed and many of her people have died. The bloodshed was the fault of both sides, but while death surrounded her, she had fought. She had beheaded a heavily injured werewolf and had even cut off an arm from a vampire with an axe. Quite impressive for a human really, but that is what she was, a human, and she was attacked by a werewolf. The werewolf clawed at her neck and shoulder- an attack that no human should have survived I might add- yet she lived, just barely.

Jack had seen everything the moment she injured his own kind. As she lay dying on the ground and barely clinging to life, Jack had praised her and offered her a deal. He could turn her into one of us to live so long as she does as he says and fights alongside him against the werewolves, or he could kill her painlessly to end her suffering. As you can see, she chose to live."

Elsa listened with slight astonishment as North finished his short tale, but the frown remained on her features. "But her home was destroyed because he was partly to blame because of it. How could she choose to follow him for what he had done?" Frustration welled up inside her. She wanted to find a horrible fault to him.

However, North simply nodded his head as if he was agreeing with her. "Correct. But he gave her a choice, die a painless death or live to fight for the rest of her life. Astrid made her choice." He paused for a moment, then continued. "It was later when Jack had discovered that she was mother of two children. She had told him that they had gotten away just in time from the attack and he had offered to find her children for her to be reunited with, meaning he would turn them as well if she so desired. But Astrid refused, she did not want her children to be burdened with the life she chose and Jack never offered to find her children again."

She stared slightly wide-eyed as the tale ended. She immediately thought that she would rather choose to die then to take the offer of a monster who waged war with his enemies and have her home destroyed. Then she thought that she had made a similar choice just like Astrid. While she fought keep Arendelle safe, the vampires had only wanted her and then they wouldn't be attacking her home again. If the conversation had been brought up, she might have considered giving herself up to keep those she cares about safe, but it never happened, instead her home was invaded and she was forcibly taken. Several times death was close to take her and yet she chose to escape because she wanted to live, despite becoming a bride.

"Well not all of us had a choice." She grumbled out just for the sake of saying something to fault.

North couldn't help the chuckle that escaped him. "Yes well, he's not always so subtle about some things."

Despite it all she found herself giggling and smiling at the vampire. North then stood up, he reached his hand down for Elsa to take. "Come child. We must go meet the others."

Taking his offered hand, "What for?" She asked as she was helped from the ground.

"Well for one, you are the bride of the leader of this coven, so you should join us. And for the other, well after what happened earlier it may not be such good idea if you were left alone."

Nodding solemnly, she followed the vampire down the corridor.

Aster stormed down the long corridors, a deep frown printed on his face as he forced his way through the doors separating him from his destination. Just a short while ago he had passed by hard frozen doors and right away he knew what was happening behind those doors. The proof of that was the storm raging outside had calmed almost instantly. The ice had stopped spreading, the wind had calm and the snow now falling gently. It sickened him to know that those two had fallen into an old habit that had ended long ago. It was disturbing.

Arriving at his destination, Aster pushed open the double doors with more force then necessary. What he saw in front of him made him raise an eyebrow. North was obviously waiting for the other, but clearly he wasn't disturbed or surprised with the way Aster made his entrance, however, that wasn't what caused the eyebrow lift, it was the little human woman that stood beside the older vampire.

With his door slamming so suddenly, he had startled her enough for her to let a surprised squeak. The two only vampires looked at her as she turned her gaze away with embarrassment. North had chuckled slightly, and Aster simply approach the two with a little less force so as not to scare the woman again.

While approaching the two, Aster took in the appearance of the woman. Her hair was long and loose and slightly wavy. She wore a midnight color gown with sleeves to the elbow and a white corset around her torso. He looked at her face, noticing her eyes were slightly red and puffy. She had obviously been crying some time ago but it was clear with how close she was to North that he had something to do with some sort of comfort. Her cheeks were still pink with embarrassment, but other than that, she seemed to be fine.

The silence stretched between the three of them for a few seconds until North spoke. "Aster, as you know who she is, I would like to properly introduce you to Elsa." He placed a hand on her back to give her a gentle push towards the other vampire's direction.

Elsa stuttered for a moment, clearly unprepared at being introduced. "Hi, uh I'm Elsa- wait, you already knew that!... Um… Hi." Her cheeks once again burned a darker shade of pink.

The corners of his mouth quirked up a bit at her awkward introduction. "Name's Aster."

She fiddled with her fingers for a second before she gave him a shy smile. "Nice to meet you Aster." She said kindly.

Aster blinked in slight surprise. He hadn't ever come across anyone to respond to him that way, it was actually kind of nice. Blinking again he composed himself. "Good thing North introduced us, I'll tell ya Ice Princess wouldn't have done it." He crossed his arms over his chest as he leaned on the table.

She blinked at him for a second, then laughter escaped her lips. Elsa placed a hand over her mouth as she tried to stifle the laugh escaping her as soon as she realized who he meant. "Won't you get in trouble for saying something like that?" She asked with a smile.

The grey haired vampire snorted with a roll of his eyes. "He's not gonna do anything. I can insult him all I want in front of his face and he won't lay a finger on me."

Her smile widen. "He's not a very good leader then, is he?" She responded. Aster smirked when she played along, he liked her already.

"He never has a comeback." His smirk widen a bit when she giggled, though it faltered just a bit without her noticing. He could tell that this woman had a genuine personality, someone who can be loved so easily with that smile of hers. A wave of pity filled him when he stared at her, someone like her shouldn't have to deal with a man like Jack Frost, especially after what he had just passed by.

North had obviously noticed his change in demeanor, because the next the thing he saw was the vampire distracting Elsa with a large book. She clearly looked happy having it in her hands, it was as if she had completely forgotten what had happened to her. Another wave of pity filled Aster as he and North moved off the side and out of earshot from the woman.

The older vampire gave him a stern questioning look and Aster returned it with a frown on his face. Speaking quietly, he said. "That woman is in for a world of hurt." He looked towards the distracted woman. "She's good friends with Tooth is she not?" After North's silent nod, he continued. "Just a while ago, I passed by frozen shut doors. Now we both know he's in there, however, Tooth is in there with him." The older vampire's eyes harden slightly, and Aster knew that he had already gained a protective instinct towards the human, but he continued. "The poor lass has only been here for a short time and she has already been through quite a lot. Now she'll have to face the betrayal of her only friend when she finds out."

The two men looked at the small human in silence, each with their own thoughts until the silence was broken by Elsa. "What's this?" She took a folded paper from the book. The two males approached her as she set the book aside to unfold the paper. The paper extended widely so she placed it on the table and continued to unfold the rest of it. Once done, she realized it was a map of the entire world.

"Wow." She said with astonishment. "I've never seen a map like this."

North leaned forward and pointed a finger in one area. "This is where your home is, Norway."

Elsa glanced at the pointed area. "Wow. I never knew the country was so long." She inspected the area much closer, noticing Sweden and Denmark as Norway's neighboring countries. She traced a small finger over her country, then she looked around the rest of the map. "So where are we now?"

Using the same index finger, North brought it down to Romania. "We're down here."

"So far from home." She mumbled softly. Elsa stared at the cursive bold letters that read 'Romania'. It was a little hard for her to believe that she was in another country and not her own. Sighing a little to herself, Elsa looked at the rest of the map. "North, you said you were Russian correct?" She asked the vampire, looking up at him with curious eyes.

North nodded and traced his finger all around his former country. "This is Russia." He said, smiling a little as Elsa gaped at the size.

"All of that is Russia?!"

Chuckling slightly, he continued. "Russia is the largest country in the world. And also the coldest, lots of snow." He said as an afterthought. Then he pointed his finger at a certain area in the country. "And here is where I came from. Moscow."

Elsa stared at the letters as if she going to see the town itself. Then she blinked. "Cold?" She asked

North let out a loud laugh. "One of the coldest countries, including Canada. You like cold, no? Perhaps I take you sometime. You'll like it there."

A wide smile graced her face. "Which one? Canada or Russia?"

"Both."

Excitement shined in her eyes. "Do you mean it? Will I get to travel to both places?" She looked at North with bright hopeful eyes.

Something stirred in both North and Aster.

The elder vampire smiled at the young woman and nodded his head in confirmation. Elsa suppressed a squeal of excitement, her smile widening as she looked at Aster. "What about you Aster? Where are you from?"

The gray haired vampire blinked in surprise, then he grinned. "Australia." He moved closer to the map and pointed to the country island that was separated from the rest of the continent. "Kimberly is the town I came from."

The smile never left Elsa's face as she stared at the letters just like she did with Russia. Aster's grin melted into a small smirk. "Nothin' cold about over there though. It's all hot with insects, animals and amphibians. Especially the Kangaroos. Australia is known for its Kangaroos."

"I've never seen a Kangaroo." She responded. Aster moved away from the table and towards the book shelf kept in the room. He pulled out a book and took a piece of paper out. He returned to Elsa's side, handing her a drawn picture of three animals.

She assumed it was a kangaroo family. "They look evil. Creepy eyes." Those were the first words that came out of her mouth. Aster chuckled as a grin returned to his face.

"Then how about I take ya to Australia to show you just how evil kangaroos are?" His grin widen when she giggled. She nodded her head in excitement.

When Elsa busied herself with the map again, North and Aster looked at each other. Elsa's genuine feelings had both vampires feeling something they hadn't felt in a very long time. In a short amount of time the young human had charmed the both of them without even realizing it. She was like a bright light that shined in their dark world despite the wrongs that happened to her. She was a light that they both wanted to keep shining and to never be swallowed in darkness.

The two vampires comprehended the silent messages they were giving each other. They both had the sudden instinct of protectiveness over Elsa, they didn't want her light to burn out. The two decided to keep that from happening, they would protect her, even if it meant protecting her from the Vampire Lord as well.

North and Aster made a silent vow to make sure Elsa was always smiling.

The comfortable silence between the three of them was broken when the doors opened. The two vampires instinctively placed themselves beside Elsa, making sure she secure between them.

Astrid walked into the room. She raised an eyebrow when she noticed the two of them were a bit tense, but they're clearly ignoring her presence and focused behind her. Unsure of what was going on with the two vampires, she simply chose to ignore it for the time being and placed herself next to Aster.

The blonde vampire regarded the trio silently. It was quite obvious that North and Aster had purposely stood beside the human, clearly trying to protect her from something, though Astrid doubted it was from her. Sure she almost killed the human once before, but she had somewhat of reason to. The human was obviously somewhere she was not supposed to be and made a mess of things. Then again the human probably remembered Astrid since she clearly looked uncomfortable the moment the female vampire walked in. Astrid mentally rolled her eyes. She was not going to apologize for almost killing the human.

A minute later Astrid noticed North's expression become calm but his eyes were hard and arms crossed. She also noticed that Aster openly scowled in the direction she came in, his arms also crossed. She frowned slightly. Now that she thought about it, they both had been staring out there since the moment she arrived. Astrid knew who was following behind her, she's just not sure why they were suddenly acting this way.

A few seconds later the doors opened again, this time who walked in was Lord Jack, Toothiana directly behind him.

"He's just made this easy for me!" A chilled laughter filled the dead of the night. Bright golden eyes shined with dark intent as they stared wildly at the young man who told him the greatest of news. "Really! Protecting a human! Oh how low can he possibly get? Hahaha!"

The young man stood silently as he waited for his leader to calm down, though from the looks of it, it doesn't seem like it would be anytime soon. "My Lord, my brother." He said lowly.

The laughing man abruptly stopped, but the wicked grin never left his face. "Ah yes. Eret was indeed a good man. One of the best werewolves in our pack."

"Was?" Came the strained reply.

A gleam flashed in the man's eyes. "Eret no doubt could have handle any other vampire with no problem perhaps, but against an opponent like Jack Frost, your brother stood no chance against the likes of him. He's likely to be dead already." The man raised a hand placed it on the shoulder of the younger. "Worry not Snotlout, you will have your revenge in due time. Now go prepare. We will strike soon."

Snotlout bowed his head. "Yes Lord Pitch." He turned away and stalked into the darkness of the woods.

Pitch Black stared into the darkness, a twisted smirk graced his face and his golden eyes glowed with amusement and dark thoughts. The wind took a sharp shift, the clouds in the sky were suddenly shifting east in a rather quick pace.

In the dead of the night and dead silence filled the air, Pitch stepped out from behind the tress and into the moonlight. The leader of the werewolves chuckled into the silence as he stared up at the moon.

"How strange of you to let Snotlout escape Jack. You would never let your prey escape alive, let alone a werewolf! Were you so distracted in protecting your human that you never noticed his escape? How disappointing really, to let yourself become distracted by such a pathetic creature. I wonder, do you desire this weak thing? Is her skin soft? Does she make you feel alive?" Pitch laughed into the night.

"Have you finally found your bride?" His smirk grew wider and his eyes glowed as sinister thoughts danced in his mind.

"Don't think I won't use this against you Jack, you're not the only one who is a master of shadows. I will take your precious human from you, I will make her scream in terror. I will make you watch as I slowly but surely kill her into pieces."

Loud laughter filled the woods as the wind came to an abrupt stop. "Let the war begin!"

I thought it would be a good idea to have North and Aster bond with Elsa, and I like how it turned out. I also want them to have this 'protective' instinct for her whenever Jack is around. I kinda want some infighting between the three, mostly between Aster and Jack.

In the early 1800s (19th century) Australia had a different name, before it was actually named 'Australia' it was actually called 'New Holland'. However, I left it to its modern name so as not to confuse anyone who didn't know that.

IMPORTANT!:

As you may know (probably) that many of you want to read a chapter(s) of Jack and Elsa having sex (Vampire/human-soon-to be-vampire), and as I said before that I could write with or without it, and left that decision up to you (the readers). Since many of you want it, I will agree to write it for your enjoyment (and perverse thoughts... Perverts! That's okay, I'm also one.)

For the YOUNG READERS! You don't have to worry about reading the 'M Rated' scene(s), you can skip it entirely without having to miss anything relative to the story.

Example:

Rated M Starts Here.

(Sex scene here)

Rated M Ends Here.

I believe we can all agree that this fair to everyone of different ages. The younger readers don't have to read smut and the rest of the readers can enjoy being perverts.

Awesome!

So do tell me your thoughts on this matter or the chapter! Thanks for reading everyone, I really appreciate it that you stuck with me after this long wait!
