Elsa walked aimlessly through shrouds of dying trees. The area around her was dark and relentless. She didn't pack properly for the trip so she made an outfit out of ice. It was pants that clung to her legs with a long sleeve top made of hard Ice. She couldn't be sure so she made it strong. In case of emergency where she had to run, she wanted to be able to run fast.

Just like the guardians had said, there was a broken bed with a hole underneath. She couldn't believe she had to get this far. She was told to stand between two trees. Jack was behind one of them ready to grab Elsa if need be and Bunnymund was behind the other where he readied his boomerang. Toothiana stood by with a small crowd of fairies and North and Sandy had a special sack they were going to trap Hans in.

Elsa came just between the trees and looked over at Jack. He smiled at her and urged her to go on. Elsa swallowed so hard she thought her tongue went to her stomach.

"Hans!" She yelled, "Hans! Come out here now! I'm ready to make a deal!"

For a moment it was completely silent. Elsa only heard the whistling of the wind in the trees and slight crunch as some branches broke. Then a burst of dark clouds came from the hole beneath the broken bed frame. A dense black fog covered the ground and Elsa couldn't see her feet. A large pile of fog gathered and then cleared away exposing Hans.

He opened his eyes and stared at Elsa, "Hello Elsa. I've been expecting you."

"I'm here to make a deal."

"Yes Elsa I heard you the first time. Couldn't resist me huh? May be I should have tried to pursue you rather than Anna. You are quite beautiful you know." Hans said snickering as he made his way to Elsa. She felt the need to start running but stayed there. She needed to do this.

"You need to tell me what you want from me."

"It's not really what I want from you so much Elsa. It's more what he wants and what he can provide for me in the process."

"He?"

"Oh you should know him by now your highness. His name is Pitch Black. Sound familiar?" Hans started walking towards Elsa.

"What does he want from me then?" Elsa felt her voice nearly crack from fear

Hans laughed evilly as he stopped walking directly in front of her.

"You need to tell me your terms first my dear. Then I'll report to Mr. Black and he can decide what to do with you." Hans said and with every word, Elsa trusted him less and less.

"I am willing to cooperate just as long as Pitch leaves the people of Arendelle alone. I want no harm coming to my citizens or my family."

"Is that all? Why this is practically a steal!" Hans clapped his hands together and laughed

"Wait! I don't know what he's getting out of the end of this deal." Elsa said

"Why your hand in marriage of course." Hans parted his hands and held them out wide.

"What?!" Elsa exclaimed taking a step back

Jack clenched his staff so tightly he thought it was break, "I'm not marrying him!" Elsa stood back slightly ready for Jack to pull her away. Jack read her body language and readied his staff to pull Elsa towards him.

Hans snickered and placed his hand to his chin, "It's funny Elsa."

"What is?" She said bracing herself

"That you think you have a choice." Hans said as a huge gust of wind pulled Elsa down to her knees and started pulling her towards the hole

"Jack!" She yelled out. She tried to seal the hole with ice but it just sucked her magic in. She shot out a shard of ice and planted it deep into the earth and held on while the wind grew stronger.

Jack jumped out from behind the tree and ran to help Elsa. Hans looked over at Jack and with the wave of his hand, sent a shroud of shadows after him. Jack froze the shadows as the other guardians came rushing out.

"Don't let him take Elsa!" Jack yelled as he froze the last shadow and made his way to Hans.

North tried to jump out to grab Elsa but the gust was so strong that even he thought he'd get pulled in. Toothiana had to land and stand behind North.

"The fact that you think any of you will win is enough to make me laugh." Hans said. He stood with perfect posture, completely careless about anything that was happening.

"Let her go!" Jack said. Hans looked evilly at Jack and suddenly the wind stopped and Elsa finally breathed. She let her grip go of the ice shard and stood. She tried to cough the debris from her mouth. North and the other guardians went up to her to get her away, and then Hans smiled.

"Try and stop me." He said before the wind came back even stronger and sucked all the guardians down. Jack launched at Hans who disappeared into a flurry of shadows and Jack was sucked down with the rest of the guardians.

Jack struggled to hold on to anything but there was nothing. He tried to drive his staff into the dirt but still he was pulled deeper into the darkness. North, Tooth, Bunny, and Sandy were all struggling to hang on as well. Sandy tried to fly against the gust but it was too strong of a pull.

Then the wind pulled them in different directions and Jack was suddenly thrown into a cage. The door closed on him and locked itself.

Jack saw the other guardians locked in cages as well. They were dangling above a dark abyss and no way out. Jack grabbed the bars and tried to freeze them but his ice wouldn't cover them. North tried to ram the door open but it stayed still and didn't move an inch.

The sandman's cage was different. It was complete glass, nothing like the cages that held the other four guardians.

"Elsa!" Jack yelled. He kicked at the bars of his cage, "Elsa!" He yelled again

Where was she? Was she okay? What was Pitch doing to her? Why couldn't Jack get out so he could help her? Jack felt so angry that he started punching the bottom of the cage and screaming out in rage.

"Jack stop. This isn't going to save Elsa." Toothiana said sadly. After trying to escape their specially designed cages, the guardians sat waiting for their next move.

"If something happens to her, Pitch will pay. I will get him for this I swear it." Jack couldn't stop pacing in his small cell. When he looked down he couldn't see the ground. It was just continued darkness.

He placed his head in his hands and slumped down to the bottom of his cage, "We said we'd protect her. I promised her!"

"Jack, it's okay mate. We'll get out of here. We'll save her." Bunnymund said but wasn't feeling the confidence he wished he had.

Elsa awoke in a daze. Her head was pounding from her fall and her sight was blurred. It took her a minute to get a real good look at her surroundings. There wasn't much to see. It was dark but there was a small bit of light pointing to two thrones. She was on the floor in front of both. She propped herself up and noticed Hans sitting on the steps below the thrones.

"She's awake." Hans said

"Good." Another man said as he appeared from the other shadows. He was tall and mysterious and Elsa could practically taste the evil from him.

"Hello your highness. I'm sorry for having to force you down here but I'm afraid I couldn't get you down here any other way." He said offering his hand to Elsa. She stood up on her own and took a few steps back. The man retracted his hand, "I see. Well I know you but you don't know me."

"Pitch Black." Elsa said holding her head in her hands trying to steady the ache within.

"Oh smart girl. You pay very close attention. I like that. I'm sure Hans has already told you that I wish to make you my bride." Pitch folded his hand behind his back and started pacing.

"Why?" Elsa said. She wasn't about to walk away without any answers, that is if she could try to walk away at all.

"Well why wouldn't I want to make such a beautiful young lady my wife?" Pitch smiled towards Elsa.

"Because you're a monster and you want something from me."

Pitch looked displeased with Elsa, "Yes dear you see, a while ago I did try to ask Jack Frost to join me in accomplishing something that is important to me and he refused and denied me my happiness. I resented him since. But then I came upon you! Would you like to know how I did that?" Pitch had a look of proud accomplishment on his face. It was a wicked smile and his rotten teeth gave Elsa a creepily unsettling feeling.

Elsa nodded slowly staring Pitch down.

"Well you see, the man in the moon and I have a very complicated relationship. I keep an eye on the things he does. I've been around for; oh I don't know, hundreds of years? There was once an instance that, at the time, didn't mean anything to me. I just thought that the man in the moon was being a goody two shoes like he always is so I paid this act no mind.

Quite a few years ago, there was a young queen who had fallen very ill during the pregnancy of her first child. She was sure that she wouldn't make it through the child birth and the king was determined to not let that happen. He set out with the guards of the kingdom to find a cure to the Queen's illness.

The king came upon some trolls through asking certain citizens in his kingdom. The trolls were unable to make a cure for the king so they told the king to ask the man in the moon for help. The king simply had to climb to the highest peak of his kingdom and ask the moon for help. So the king climbed the highest mountain all by himself so that the man in the moon would hear his plea. This was the North Mountain of course; one I've come to realize is all too familiar to you.

The man in the moon must have heard him because when the King returned home he heard the sounds of a laughing baby and her mother. The baby was born with white hair, blue eyes and powers of Ice and snow."

Elsa gasped, her parents never told her about her birth or how she got her powers, just that she was born with them.

"You see my dear, I think the moon planted some part of himself within that child. He basically gave her part of his life source and with it came some sort of power.

I saw the man in the moon help this family but forgot about it until recently. When Jack refused to use his powers by my side, I thought of you. You were perfect!"

"What makes you think I'm going to help you?!" Elsa exclaimed still shocked from his story. She didn't know whether it was true or not. No matter how evil and sinister Pitch was and Elsa could feel it, she knew that he was speaking the truth and nothing but.

"I will make you your majesty. You don't really have a choice." Pitch laughed, "I plan to Marry you regardless and therefore become king of Arendelle. I will of course hand it off to Hans who has so graciously volunteered to take over the throne in my absence. Arendelle will be in good hands. I have no need for the Kingdom anyway, just the children."

Elsa thought she felt her heart stop.

"And I plan on doing it tonight." Pitch mused

"Tonight?!" Elsa braced herself. She threw her hands up and shot out spikes of Ice at Pitch. They went right through him and pierced the wall behind him. He turned into a cloud of darkness and reappeared behind Elsa. She tried to get away but he wrapped what seemed to be a rope of shadows around her and she fell down and hit her head.
