Chapter 6: Scars

Elsa sat on the bench with her head in her hands. The bench was starting to frost over, but Elsa caught herself before it got too out of control. Suddenly, she felt like she was being stabbed all over. The pain engulfed her and she fell to the ground. Nicole ran over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"What's going on?" Nicole asked, worry clouding her voice.

"Get… your… father." Elsa said through gritted teeth.

Nicole quickly ran inside to get Jack while Elsa lay on the ground. She hugged herself and brought her knees to her chest. Tears threatened to fall as the pain spread through her body. She arched her back and let out a cry as the feeling of Han's knife split open her skin. Her nails dug deep into her skin.

Jack ran out of the castle and fell to her side. He picked her up in his arms and sat on the bench. She let out a whimper of pain and buried her face in Jack's shoulder.

"It's ok. You can do this." Jack whispered, kissing her hair.

"What's going on with Mom?" Nicole asked, worry masking her face.

"You're not ready to know. When you are older I will tell you." Elsa gasped through the pain.

Elsa sat up and slowly stood up. She stumbled a little and Jack jumped up in a flash; steadying her. The light hit her face just on her scar and Nicole noticed.

"It has something to do with the scars on your face, isn't it?" Nicole observed.

Her mother consciously reached up and lightly touched the scar going from her jaw to her eye.

"Yes." She said after a while.

"I have a feeling that isn't your only scar." Nicole said with a raised eyebrow.

"And it's not." Elsa sighed, fighting back a sob.

"Why hasn't it healed?"

"It just hasn't." Elsa said impatiently, her voice rising.

"That's not an answer." Nicole said stubbornly.

"You are just as stubborn as Anna." Elsa rolled her eyes.

"Just leave your mother alone." Jack ordered.

"I want answers! I finally get to know why you are so secluded all the time and then you come up with this random pain that has something to do with your past. The least you could do is tell me why!" Nicole pleaded.

"I GOT TORTURED AN NEARLY KILLED BY HANS AND PITCH, OK!" Elsa yelled and sobbed, "Are you happy now?"

Elsa turned and ran inside the castle; leaving Nicole and Jack dumbfounded. Nicole looked at her father with sad, questioning eyes. Jack just shook his head before turning to follow Elsa.

Ember ran to his room and slammed the door. He collapsed on his bed; the image of Nicole being kissed flashed in front of his eyes. He buried his head in a pillow, but that only made the images brighter against the darkness. After screaming into his pillow for a while, he threw the pillow at the wall.

Red magic sparked at his fingertips and fire started to ignite around his fingers. He walked quickly onto the balcony and let loose a blast of fire so hot that it was a dark blue. The railing melted slightly from the heat. Ember groaned and leaned against the wall.

"Why do I feel like this?" He said aloud, "I just wish…"

"I can help you get her love if you just help me. I can dispose of that boy that she was kissing with a snap of my fingers. Just help me and I can help you." A voice said by his door.

Ember looked towards the door to see a tall, slender female with pale skin, blue eyes, black hair, and an elaborate red black dress.

"Who are you?" Ember asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I am Kaitlyn. So are you with me or not?" She asked impatiently.

He pondered his decisions for a while before nodding his head. Kaitlyn held out a hand and Ember took it. As soon as he came in contact with her; blackness consumed him and he felt like he was being sucked into nothingness.
