Elsa grew exhausted, her mind and soul no longer in the mood to resist the man that held her captive. She had seen what he was capable of, that he had magic like her. Elsa knew what she had done and was growing to accept it, growing to accept what she truly was. She was a monster, someone who didn't have control over herself and hurt everyone in their path. Her hands, her magic, were her weapons and she would use them as much as she needed to in order to protect herself.
"Perhaps I should work with him." she whispered to herself in the darkness. It would give her some freedom from this cage, after all. Her fear had grown to be a constant companion, one that she knew should be her enemy but was now familiar and normal for her. The man was scary, but he wanted to work with her. He was willing to accept her power, her nature, and try and use it to create some sort of benefit for him. He was right, her power did a good job at creating fear.
"Maybe this is what I am meant to do." she added, unfolding her hands and holding her palms up to her face. Right now, her power was dormant. She had probably already used all of her energy creating ice in this place, freezing the cages and the walls around her. Thinking about her power, how well it worked with the man's shadows, made her all the more certain that this was her destiny. Anna was gone and she had no way of getting home. She was brought here to create fear in this world, to spread it all over the place. Smiling softly, Elsa felt relief to know her reason for being here. If that was what she had to do, she would do it to the fullest of her ability. It was time for her to let go of trying to be a good girl. It was time to unleash her power on the world and show them what she could do, how well cold and dark mixed together.
"It has been awhile hasn't it, my dear? Have you considered my offer?" a voice asked, as if brought here by her decision. Elsa smiled from within her cage, no longer afraid of the man in the room. He was the boogeyman and he did create fear in the world, but he was her ally. Fear was going to be her friend. The rock trolls had been wrong before, she knew it now. She had to embrace her fear in order to control her power and create this world for the man in front of her. "Yes, I have. Together, we will spread fear throughout this world. You were right, my power is perfect for doing so." she told him.
Pitch Black smiled, happy to have her in agreement. He had worn her down, first with his words and the story about killing her sister. He really didn't know what happened to the girl, but he had felt her fear about hurting her sister and he had to use it against her somehow. Even after that, he had constantly experimented with the dream sand on her, transforming her peaceful dreams into nightmares. He had now perfected the technique and he was ready. He knew his nightmares were strong and the Guardians would never be prepared to handle his attack.
"I am glad to hear we are on the same page. I am Pitch Black, king of nightmares, but you already knew that. It is time you learned about the other players in our little game." he told her, grinning wickedly at the girl. Stepping forward, he unlocked the cage and watched her create a staircase of ice to allow her to walk out to freedom. Elsa looked at him, waiting to hear who she was up against. They would be destroyed in seconds with her magic. What was it the trolls had said? That the mind could be melted but not the heart? All it would take was one blow to the chest and their enemies would be lost, just like Anna.
"First, I must ask you what you believe in. It will affect how useful you truly will be to me. Have you ever heard of the Easter Bunny? Or perhaps Santa Clause?" he asked, smiling at the girl. Elsa rolled her eyes, prepared to tell him that there was no such thing, but then she paused. She was speaking to the boogeyman, the embodiment of darkness. Maybe Anna was right and the others existed as well. All of those fairy tales, the stories she heard as a child, were truly here. She frowned, uncertain about why she was fighting them.
"Yes, I know of them but why are we concerned with them?" Elsa asked, glancing at her new partner. Pitch Black's smile faded, thinking about the Guardians created by the moon. "They will be fighting back. They are the Guardians of this world, trying to bring forth light, hope, and wonder to the children of the world. Our fear prevents the belief in them just like their light prevents belief in us." he said with a grimace. Elsa didn't understand why he was obsessed with belief and she also didn't think that she needed to hurt these Guardians. They sounded helpful, unlike her. Maybe she didn't want to go through with this.
Pitch Black sensed her fear lessening and knew he needed to get her back to his side quickly. "Remember, Elsa, these Guardians were supposed to protect you as well. Just like everyone else, they abandoned you and left you alone in the world. No one understood you, no one other than me. I am the only one who knows fear, who knows how to control it. By my side, you will reign over a world where everything is cold and dark, a beautiful world filled with fear." he told her, smiling as he felt her former fear level return.
Elsa heard his words and it reminded her of what she was. She was a monster, something that destroyed the dreams of children and ruined their hope. On top of that, Pitch had a very good point. These Guardians should have been there for her, helping her with her power as she struggled to survive in this new world. They had abandoned her and her sister, allowed Anna to be destroyed by her own power. She felt an anger build within her, anger towards these Guardians who refused to protect the one piece of family that had come with her to this place. "I will destroy them. They let Anna die, they let me become this monster. They deserve to see this world fall into darkness and despair. Just tell me what you want me to do." Elsa told him, clenching her hands into fists.
Pitch Black smiled and held out his hand. Hesitantly, Elsa reached out and took it. "We have a little show to give our Guardians first. They need to know that the game has begun, after all." Pitch told her with a smile. Elsa nodded, eager to prove herself worthy of being his partner. Maybe she could have some fun while they destroyed the Guardians, especially if Pitch was treating it like a game. "Oh, but before we go, I don't think that outfit suits you anymore. Let's create something more befitting a powerful sorceress like yourself." he told her, glancing at what had become of her clothes. They were covered in dirt and torn after going almost a year without being washed or changed.
Elsa smiled, getting an idea for her outfit. It would be a dress, a dress made completely of ice and darkness. "Care to help me with that?" she asked him with a smile. Pitch nodded and let her step back as she surrounded herself with ice, which normally would have created a light-blue dress that sparkled in the light. Pitch added in some darkness, letting it freeze in with the ice and giving the dress a new look. It was floor-length and it did still sparkle, but the color was far from ordinary. Mixed within the blue were streaks of black, running across the entire dress and giving it a darker look. Elsa's hair looked wild and messy as well, but she thought it suited her. After all, it only made her look more intimidating as the master of ice and snow. Pitch grinned at her, deciding to take off and follow through on their plan. They were going to pay a visit to the north pole.
