Elsa's POV*
I continued to scream as I watched the dark sand wrap itself around Jack. I kept trying to pull myself away from the hard grip that the sand had on me, doing whatever I could to loosen its hold on me. I watched Pitch give Jack and evil smile.
"Leave him alone!" I yelled. "Take me! Take me instead, but just leave Jack alone!" I pleaded with Pitch. He looked at me, seemingly looking like he wanted to take my offer but shook his head at me.
"It's not you that I want." He said to me, looking back at Jack. "It's him, who I want gone. Besides, you're no use to me."
"No. No, please." I said softly, crying as I watched Jack slowly get taken away from me.
Suddenly, we heard what sounded like a loud jingling noise, like the ones you hear on a sleigh. We looked around us, not seeing anything. We looked up at the dark sky, the only light that we got came from the illuminating glow of the full moon. I looked back at Jack, the black sand had stopped just over his chest. I exhaled with relief.
Then, we heard the jingling noise again, only this time it was louder and sounded closer, like it was right above us. We both watched as a small figure holding an object fell down from the sky towards the place where Pitch stood. I watched the figure come closer and closer into view before I realized it was Anna! She was sailing down towards Pitch holding what appeared to be a baseball bat in her hand, held high above her. She swung the bat down hard on the spine of his back as she came down, sending him falling face forward onto the snow. She swung the baseball bat down on him over and over again, yelling. Pitch kept covering his face and trying to roll away from the hard, wooden hits he was receiving from Anna.
"LEAVE. MY. SISTER. AND. JACK. ALONE!" She screamed at him with each hit. Pitch's whole body then sunk into the ground, disappearing right in front of us just as Anna swung it down on him again. The sand wrapped around Jack disappeared as well, releasing him from it's hold. His body then began to fall down towards the ground.
"Jack!" I screamed in horror, watching him fall. All of a sudden, a golden cloud appeared right above the ground, Sandy emerging from it. He held his small hands out and caught Jack, laying him down on the small cloud.
"Sandy!" I called out with joy. He turned around to face me and smiled, bouncing off the cloud and towards me, where the black sand still had its hold on me. He whipped out whips made out of his golden sand and whipped at the dark sand. I watched it reel back away from the whips, slowly sinking back down towards the ground before it finally let go of me and disappeared into the ground.
"Thank you!" I said to him, running past him and towards the golden cloud where Jack laid. I held him close to me once more, grateful nothing more had happened to him.
"Elsa! Are you okay?" Anna asked, rushing to my side along with Sandy.
"Yeah." I nodded my head at her. "I'm fine. Thank you." I reached out and grabbed her hand, which she too held on to. I heard the jingling sound once more and saw North's sleigh land down on the ground in front of us. North, Bunny, and Kristoff jumped off the sleigh, along with Tooth who had flown next to them.
"Where is that Pitch at?" North yelled with his swords drawn out, looking all around him.
"Oh no!" Bunny said, looking straight at us. Tooth had her hands over her mouth, tears forming in her eyes. North finally stopped looking for Pitch, glancing right at us.
"Jack.." North said softly. They then all ran towards us.
"Is he..?" North began to say, but stopped. I saw his lip quiver. I didn't respond. I wrapped my hands around Jack even tighter, not wishing to let him go.
"Is he did, you ask?" We heard Pitch say. We all looked around us, trying to see where his voice was coming from. Everybody stood around me and took their stances. Suddenly, black sand burst from within the ground up, taking Pitch's form.
"Well, the answer to that would be yes, he's dead." He grinned at us.
"Why you-!" screamed North, running towards him. With his swords still drawn out, he lashed out at Pitch, who dodged the first couple blows. Pitch then formed a pick axe out from his black sand and struck blows with North's swords. Pitch then disappeared right in front of North and reappeared right behind him, his pick axe held high above his head.
"North, look out!" Bunny yelled, charging towards them. Bunny threw his Easter eggs on the ground in front of Pitch, causing them to explode with color. With Pitch distracted, Bunny jumped out in front of him and round housed kicked him in the face, knocking him back and letting go of his pick axe. Sandy then lashed out a lasso made out of his golden sand towards Pitch, wrapping it around his feet. He yanked it back along with Pitch and swung him down against the ground. He then pull the lasso back up towards the sky with Pitch still attached to it. Tooth then flew up and stood in mid-air just in front of Pitch. She then spun around and her feathers formed themselves into blades, flying out of her wings and at Pitch. The blades pierced Pitch's body, making him scream in agony. Sandy swung the lasso back down on the ground, Pitch landing face flat on the ground with the blades sticking out from his body.
We kept watching him for any signs of life, but he didn't move. I breathed a sigh of relief, hoping know that this was no over. But, I was mistaken. We all watched in horror as Pitch's body slowly raised itself up off the ground 'till he stood upright. He slowly raised his head back up and turned it to look back at us.
"You all can't seriously think that you can destroy me that easily." He sneered. He then pounded his hands against the ground, his black sand snaking out from his opened palms and on the ground again.
I quickly jumped on the golden cloud that held Jack and pulled him closer to me. The dark sand then held the guardians, Anna, and Kristoff in place. The black sand sprang up from the ground and grabbed both Tooth and Sandy back down.
"What's going on?" Kristoff asked, trying to pull loose from the sand that held his feet. They all continued to break from its hold. I then watched as the same black hands that had held my hands down sprang up and grabbed their hands and at their clothes.
"Let go of me!" Anna screamed, trying to yank her hand from their grips. Tooth and Sandy lay down on the ground, the black hands holding them down as the dark sand swirled around each of them. North attempted to slash out at the sand with his swords but the small hands grabbed the swords from his hands and threw them down on the ground away from him. I saw Kristoff punching out at the black hands with what appeared to be brass knuckles. The black hands gripped both of his hands down, making sure he wouldn't be able to move. To my horror, the black sand swirled around them, enveloping them in their hold. I looked at Tooth who lay not too far from where Bunny stood and reached her hand out to him. Bunny managed to yank one of his hands out from the sand's hold and reached out for her as well. I looked back at Anna and Kristoff, who were both trying to reach out for each other as well.
"Elsa! You must stop Pitch!" North cried out at me as the black sand swirled around his face, muffling anything else he had to say. Next, the black sand swirled up over them, trapping them in its hold and into cocoons. They were now no longer moving, but the black sand continued to swirl around them.
"North!" I screamed, still holding on to Jack. He didn't respond. Neither one of them did. I looked at them, trying to see if there was any movement coming from them but I didn't see anything. I heard Pitch chuckled from behind me. I snapped my head in his direction, glaring at him.
"What did you do to them?" I asked as he approached me and Jack.
"Nothing bad." He said, walking around each of the un-moving figures, looking at them with awe. "They're not dead, if that's what you're thinking. They're still alive, but they've been sent to a place somewhere dark. Somewhere where their fears live!" He cackled, launching his head back at the sky. The clouds in the night sky were swirling around. I looked into the direction where they were swirling to and it was on the mountain top where my castle was. There was a huge vortext coming up from the ground towards the sky. Lightning illuminated it as well, the loud electric crackle accompanied each strike, the loud noise made me want to cover my ears
"I can't believe it!" He cried with joy. "I've finally defeated the guardians!" He threw his hands up in the air. "Are you watching Manny?" He looked straight at the moon. I looked at him like as if he was going insane.
"Look at your guardians!" He waved at the black cocoons that had black sand swirling around them. "Look at just how GREAT they managed to stop me." He said with sarcasm in his voice.
"You won't get away with this!" I shouted at him, getting his attention back to me. He laughed at me.
"Well, as you can tell, I already did!"
I opened my mouth to say something back, but nothing came out. I had nothing to say. I could feel my body shaking intensely. I at first thought it was because of the cold night air before I realized the reason I was shaking was because I was scared. I held Jack closer to me, still shaking. I was scared about everything that had happened during my time as someone else, about what happened that night, especially about what happened to Jack. I heard what sounded like a whoosh and looked up to see a dark horse made out of the same black sand as Pitch's and with glowing yellow eyes staring right at me only a few feet away from us. I gasped, holding Jack closer. I could feel something watching us from behind as well and I turned my head around to see another dark horse staring right at me as well, beating his hoof against the ground. There were many more surrounding us from all around. They all neighed, snorted, or pounding their hooves against the ground.
"My little Nightmares here can smell your fear. "Pitch sneered. He patted one on the nose.
I tried to control my breathing, which I could tell was heavy, and I could practically hear my heartbeat in my ears. I could also feel my blood freezing in my veins. The Nightmares slowly began to make their way towards me and Jack.
"I am afraid." I admitted, staring at Pitch straight in the eye. "I am afraid of a lot of things. I am afraid of losing control over my powers, which almost made me lose my sister. I am afraid of hurting those who I care deeply about." Pitch continued to watch me. "I am afraid of what happened the past couple days. I am afraid about what happened tonight. I am mostly afraid of the person that I had became, the person I once was." Snow began to swirl around me and Jack. "But, there are somethings that I'm not afraid of." I looked down at Jack and gave him a kiss on the top of his head before turning back to look at Pitch once more, the snow swirling faster and faster around us. "I'm not afraid to make things right. I'm not afraid to love. And, I am not afraid of YOU!" I shouted.
I threw my hand out in front of me, sending the snow towards Pitch with extreme force, knocking him back. I put my hand up and spikes rose from the ground , shooting up into the sky and straight down towards the ground with a motion of my hand, straight down towards the Nightmares. The spikes impaled them, making them disappear with painful neighs.
I quickly laid Jack back down on the cloud's surface before jumping off. I then created a shield made out of ice that encased him in it. I heard Pitch yell behind me and I quickly spun around and formed an ice shield in front of me just as Pitch blasted me with his dark sand. He blasted the sand at me again but I continued to hold the shield in front of me. I quickly thought of an idea and made my shield transmute into a mirror. The next blast repelled off of it and back at Pitch, striking him in the chest, bending forward to hold it. With him distracted, I blasted my ice at him, hitting him as many times as I could. After he took a few hits, he lashed his black sand out at me, this time at feet. I saw the black sand quickly creep its way towards me. I then stomped the ground with my foot, freezing it all around me and stopping the black sand.
He got ready to blast his sand down at the ice but was too late for the ice crept around him and froze him in place. I looked at his frozen figure. For a moment, I felt like it was now finally over, but I was soon proven wrong. I heard a cracking sound and watched the ice shatter itself. He then disappeared into the ground and reappeared right in front of me. He swung his hand at me and smacked me in the face, sending me crashing towards the shield around Jack. My back hit it, making me cry out in pain before falling onto the ground.
"You stupid girl!" He yelled angrily at me. "Nothing you do will stop me!" With a wave of his hands, the Nightmares appeared once more around us. I tried to hold my hand out and blast snow at him but he repelled it with his black sand. I gasped, feeling defeated. I then grabbed onto the icy shield and helped push myself up. I looked into it and watched Jack laying there, looking like he was sleeping peacefully. I leaned my head against it, a tear falling down my face.
"Why are you even crying?" Pitch asked calmly. "You're going to with your beloved Jack soon." He laughed. I could hear him walk closer. "Any last words, Queen Elsa?"
I stopped crying and leaned away from the glass, turning around to face him. "You're afraid." I said.
Pitch frowned. "Excuse me?" He asked.
"You're afraid."I repeated.
"What are you talking about?" He asked angrily. I nodded at his Nightmares, half of whom were facing him. He looked at them, a small hint of fear in his eyes.
"You're afraid of losing." I said to him.
"No, I am not!" He shouted at me, his voice slightly quivering.
"Yes, you are. You are afraid of losing this battle because you know that I can stop you." I held out a hand in front of me, a small snowflake appeared in my hand, spinning around slowly.
"And you know what?" I asked, the snowflake began to spin faster and faster, small flakes of snow appearing around it.
"What?" He growled.
"I actually like that." I said, my snowflake now transformed into a snowball that glowed with energy.
"Do you wanna have a snowball fight?" I asked, smirking at him.
He yelled, sending his Nightmares out at me. With my other hand, I held it in front of me and repelled a shield of snow at them, the Nightmares disappearing instantly. Still holding the snowball, I threw it straight at Pitch, colliding with his chest. He flew back towards the ground from the force. He quickly jumped back up from the ground and I ran straight towards him. Before he could react, I pounded my hands on his chest, my nails pulsing with the energy I was getting ready to strike him with.
I looked him intensely straight in the eye.
"This is for Jack!" I yelled at him. I then released the electric ice shock energy into his chest. He screamed in agony from the extreme shock he was receiving. I dug my nails harder into his chest, increasing the energy even more. His body began to glow as well and he continued to scream. I then let go of his chest and backed away from him. I watched as he fell to his knees, he arms stretched out on both sides and his head was still held up, looking at the sky. He then burst, the black sand floating around. The sand then swirled around together and shot up into the sky, through the dark shy and right into the swirling vortex. The vortex spun faster and faster, but as it did, it seemed to retreat from the sky and right over the mountain top. It gathered up into a huge ball before bursting, the darkness disappearing. The stars now shown quite brightly. The darkness was now finally gone.
