Chapter 22 - Threats
I kicked off the floor, shooting across the room with the help of the wind and grabbed the witches throat, slamming her up against the wall. I settled on the wooden desk in front of her as I held the tip of my wand at her neck below my fingers.
"WHERE IS HE?!" I spat, as an evil grin spread across her face.
"Who?" She choked with a hint of sarcasm, mocking me.
"YOU KNOW WHO! WHERE'S PITCH?!"
"Honestly, I have no idea who you're talking about."
"DON'T MESS WITH ME, WITCH! I KNOW YOU'RE HIDING HIM!"
"Me? Compromise the safety of the school? Never." Her voice was dripping with sarcasm as her smile grew wider, her curly black and grey hair added to the menacing look. She held that sinister grin as her eyes diverted behind me, looking over my shoulder.
"Jack, what are you doing?...Mother!?" I glanced behind me to see Rapunzel, Merida and Hiccup standing at the door, mouths agape as they observed what was happening. Rapunzel must have gathered them and followed us. This is the last thing I needed.
"Rapunzel, stay out of this." I called through gritted teeth, not taking my eyes off the witch in front of me.
"Rapunzel, darling, get this lunatic off me!" She tried to break free of my grasp but I was a lot stronger then her so her attempt failed. I heard footsteps running towards us, almost silent due to having bare feet. I sighed as I moved my wand from Professor Gothels throat to behind me, summoning the winter elements as I pointed it at the floor, all in one quick move. I heard a little yelp as Rapunzel slipped on the now icy floor, landing with a quiet thud. I really didnt have time for this. I heard gasps from Hiccup and Merida as they ran over to help her.
"Bunny, a little help please?" I called over my shoulder with slight annoyance.
"Alright you lot, let Frost be."
"What?! He's threatening my mother!"
"Yeah well, it's not like he has a choice.."
"What are you talking about?"
"You'll see..."
"Now, tell me where Pitch is, and I'll let you go." I said it calmy with a fake smile, pointing my wand back at her throat.
"Oh please, you're just a boy." Oh, what an understatement. I chuckled at her persumsion making her nervous as her grin fading into a thin line.
"Oh really? If Pitch has told you about me, then you know what I can do." I smirked at her as realisation flickered in her eye. She'd obviously heard rumours but never thought they where actually true. Well what a surprise this was going to be.
"Yanno, I could freeze you from the inside out, your organs slowly shutting down as the coldness spreads throughout your body, turning your skin to ice. I could make your heart as cold as your soul, literally. You'd drown in your own pity. Pathetic." I spat at her as I narrowed my eyes. I wouldnt really do all that stuff, I wasnt sure I actually could but I figured death threats where the only way to get her to talk. I leant in closer, making sure she was looking directly into my eyes.
"I could kill you with one flick of this wand." Her eyes where now full of fear, slightly watery as she stared at me in disbelief.
"Jack! NO!" Rapunzel shouted at me from the other side of the room but I ignored her.
"Now, I'm only going to ask one more time. Where is he?" I dug my wand into the crevis of her neck, just below her jaw. She winced as I did so, pushing her self back to get away from it.
"He's hiding in a cave in the Forbidden Forest."
"Thank you." Relief washed over her face as I lowered my wand, tucking it back into my belt. I leapt down from the table, letting Professor Gothel fall to the floor in a crumpled heap. I turned to bunny with a determined smile, walking up to the group.
"Right, we have our place, lets go."
"Wait wait wait...Jack, whats going on?" Hiccup walked up to me with Merida and Rapunzel closely behind. I exchanged a look with Bunny, who nodded before I turned back to Hiccup and the girls.
"Your mother's been working with Pitch, Rapunzel. She brought him here, all those attacks are her fault, all of this, everything thats happened, is her fault." I pointed at the witch in anger, thrusting my finger everytime I made a point.
"Mother, is this true?"
"I'm so sorry, my flower.." Rapunzel gasped as she covered her mouth with her hands, glaring at her mother with distrust. I breathed in an awkward sigh as I turned back to Bunny.
"We need to make a move." He nodded in agreement as he started making his way to the door whilst I turned to Merida, Hiccup and Rapunzel, pointing at all three of them.
"You three stay here."
"No, we're coming with you." Merida stepped forward, folding her arms across her chest.
"Ha! I dont think so." I scoffed as Merida raised her eyebrow.
"We're gonna find out whats going on here whether you like it or not." I rubbed my forehead, pinching the bridge of my nose before sighing in defeat.
"Fine, but you have to do exactly as I say. If I say run, you run, if I say hide, you hide. Got it?" They all nodded quickly, too afraid to do anything else.
"Good, now lets go." We caught up to Bunny who looked at the group of three now following us with concern.
"Are you sure this is a good idea, Frost, letting them tag along?"
"Dont worry, Cottontail, they can take care of themselves."
We ran to the end of the corridor where there was a small exit from the dungeons that lead outside. We all slipped out one by one, cold mist forming in a cloud as everyone breathed out, all except me. Merida, Rapunzel and Hiccup hugged their robes around them as the winter chill prickled their skin, wishing they had brought their scarfs with them. Me and Bunny where walking together in front, marching towards the Forbidden Forest like determined soldiers.
"Jack, I'm not gonna be much help in this puny form." He gestured to himself with a annoyed sigh. I looked back at the three trailing behind us before turning back to Bunny.
"I know, look, you try and figure something out whilst I scout ahead. It'll give you more time." I gestured towards the forest looming ahead of us casting shadows across the lake. Bunny nodded swiftly as I stripped off my robe, dropping it to the floor behind me. It would only be a hinderance.
"Jack, are you crazy, its freezing out here!" Merida said as she walked up to me, shivering.
"You three stay close to Professor Jackman, I'm gonna go on ahead."
"What? Why cant we all just go together?" Rapunzel asked, stepping up beside Merida.
"Because you can't do this.." I kicked off from the ground, summoning the wind and hovering a few feet in front of them.
"Woah, dude..what spell is that?" They all gaped in shock as I grinned at them before quickly flying off over the lake, leaving them with a gust of cold wind. There was no point in keeping my cover now.
I don't think there was any spelling mistakes at all in this one, I feel proud haha :')
