Jack's POV*
I opened my eyes, looking up at the dark sky. I carefully turned my head so I wouldn't strain any muscles in my neck that probably were hurt upon the hard impact on the ground. I couldn't see anything but the snow on the ground. I glanced up the mountain and saw Elsa's ice castle still standing, well whatever was left of it; The place where the balcony had been was completely gone, the side of the castle where North's sleigh had crashed into had left a huge gaping hole in it, the stairs were completely gone, and other parts of the castle had been completely destroyed. The black vortex continued to swirl from the castle up into the sky, but nonetheless, there was nothing but complete silence, and I began to fear for the Guardians. I suddenly realized Elsa wasn't with me.
"Elsa!" I called out, attempting to sit up before letting out a painful groan. I couldn't even lift my head up at all. I suddenly felt a sharp pain shoot up through my left arm and up my right leg. I tried to move, but it only 'caused them to hurt even more. I carefully rolled on my side and pushed myself up with my uninjured hand, helping me sit up. I lifted up the sleeve on my arm and looked at it. It was beginning to swell and when I tried to turn it, it only increased the pain in my arm more. I then lifted up my pant leg to look at my leg. It too appeared to be swollen and it was also bleeding. I noticed something sticking out from the snowy ground from the corner of my eye. I crawled towards it, grabbing the part that stuck out and pulling it out. It was my staff. It was broken in half. I tried to mend it back together, attempting to pour any type of energy into it, but it wasn't working. Angry, I threw the broken pieces out as far away as I could from me. I could feel tears start to well up in my eyes but I wiped them away with the ripped sleeve of my right hand. I reached inside the pocket of my sweater and felt the rose in my grasp. I sighed with relief, glad it was still there. I suddenly heard a yelp from behind me and turned around to see what it was. About a mile away, I could see Elsa running, while trying to hold her dress up with one of her hands so she wouldn't trip over it.
I got up as quickly as I could, trying to ignore the pain that shot up my right leg as I beared my weight down on it. I winced at the painful feeling but began to try to walk anyway.
"Elsa!" I yelled at her, limping as fast as I could towards her while I held onto my left arm. She stopped and turned around to see where I was coming from. She quickly turned forward again and tried to run again. She only got a few feet away before she fell straight down forward on the ground for having let go of her dress and tripping over it. Panting, I limped towards her as fast as I could, feeling the blood trickling down my leg.
When I reached her, I bent down to examine her, hoping she was alright. I barely put my hand on her shoulder when she immediately tried to get back up again. My hand flew out and grabbed her hand, holding her back from running away from me. She twisted her body around to face me. She had an angry look on her face. I examined her face and looked her over. She did not seem to have any scratches, cuts, or bruises anywhere on her.
"Having some of Pitch's dark magic inside her must have given her the ability to heal her injuries." I thought to myself.
"Let go of me!" She said with disgust, yanking her hand from my grasp. I tried to reach out for her again but she stepped back from my reach.
"Why can't you leave me alone?!" She yelled at me, her face contorted in anger and fear. Snow started falling down hard from the sky again and began to swirl around us, forming a blizzard, the wind also picking up. It got so windy that I kept getting knocked off my balance. I watched Elsa turn back around and continue running out into the blizzard. I got back up and tried to run, screaming in pain as I put weight down my injured leg. I bit my lip hard, drawing blood and feeling it go in my mouth, the metallic taste on my tongue. I grunted, limping again towards Elsa, who kept continuing to run from me. She would also almost get knocked of balance due to the strong wind gusts. I knew I had to find a way to try to stop her before I could lose her in the blizzard. I bent down and scooped some snow into my hand and pressed it firmly around, forming a snowball. Then, I threw the snowball directly at her with all my might and watched it hit the back of her shoulders, making her stop. She turned back around to face me.
"You must stop running Elsa, please!" I yelled out as I tried to make my way towards her. "You can't keep running away forever!" I know finally reached her, standing only a few feet away.
"Please Elsa." I pleaded. "Listen to me."
"Why should I listen to you?" She growled at me. "Why should I after all the lies you've told me? Especially, you leaving me!"
"What are you talking about Elsa?" I asked, this time confused.
"How could you? You left me when I needed you the most." She said, tears of anger streaming down her face. "And when you did, Dylan was there for me. You never were! Where were you when I needed you?" she shouted, pointing a finger at me.
"Elsa, I never left you!" I shouted at her "Pitch lied to you! He brainwashed you into thinking all that stuff! He put those images inside your head! Why would I ever leave you? You are everything to me!"
She opened her mouth as if to say something, but nothing came out. She stepped back, thinking about what I just said. She looked to be deep in thought before she snapped out of it, shaking her head furiously at me.
"Liar!" She yelled. She put her hand out in front of her, a loud crackling noise was heard and she blasted ice at me. It hit me, knocking me off my feet and back down on the ground. Pain shot throughout my entire body, making me cry out in pain. I recognized the painful feeling as the "electro-ice shock" that was used to bring me back to life. I opened my eyes in time to see her blast some more of her electric crackling ice at me. I quickly rolled over out of her aim. I sat up and watched her blast it at me again. I quickly put my right hand out in front of me and rolled forward away from the blast. I kept dodging her blasts before I quickly became tired of doing it. The pains that shot up in my chest were hitting me once more, only stronger and more frequently this time. I fell down on my knees, grabbing my chest and breathing heavy. My vision became blurry again and I blacked out a couple times. I could still see Elsa standing not too far from me. I saw her put her hand out in front of her and blast me with ice. I didn't dodge it. This time, I let it hit me. The blast was so powerful that it knocked me down onto my side. I felt another hit me in the rib cage and another one on my injured leg, making me cry out.
Wincing from the pain, I managed to push myself back up on my knees and I tried to stand up. Once I did, I felt another blast hit me again, almost making me fall back. I kept my balance and began to walk towards Elsa. She kept blasting her ice at me, switching from hand to hand. Once I was only a few feet away from her, one of the blasts knocked me back down on my knees. I felt so weak, but I knew I had to keep going. I then attempted to crawl towards her, doing so with one hand and practically dragging my injured leg behind me.
"Leave me alone you freak!" She yelled as she continued to blast her ice at me as she kept backing away. I kept getting hit over and over again, the pain in my chest growing stronger by the second. I finally managed to reach her and grabbed her dress firmly with both my hands. She attempted to out at me, but I managed to block it with my injured hand. I heard a cracking sound, the pain hurting even worse than it did before. Still, I held on to her dress and put my arms around her waist, holding her in place so she wouldn't be able to get away from me anymore.
She started pounding her fists on my head and against my face, trying to make me let her go. I tightened my hold on her waist.
"Let me go!" She shouted as she continued to hit me. I glanced up and saw her hand swing down at me. Quickly, I grabbed her hand before she could hit me. Still holding on to it, I pulled myself up 'till I was standing up, still holding on to her. With my injured hand still around her waist, I reached inside the pocket of my sweater and pulled out the rose and held it up in front of Elsa's face. She froze in place, her hand held up near my face where she had intended to hit me. Her look of anger slowly disappeared and was replaced with a calm demeanor as she continued to gaze at the rose.
"Remember Elsa."I said weakly, feeling my legs trying to give out underneath me. "Please. Please remember." I watched as her dark eyes became lighter and lighter. Her hand then wrapped itself around mine, holding the rose as well. I smiled, happy that I was now bringing her back. I was bringing my Elsa back to me at last.
Suddenly, I heard a noise behind me and felt something painfully strike me in the back, 'causing me to cry out in pain. Not being able to hold on any longer, I let go of Elsa, falling back down on my side against the cold ground near Elsa's feet. My vision began to black out again. I looked back up at Elsa and I smiled.
The last thing I saw before I closed my eyes for the last time, was Elsa's blue eyes.
