A/N: From here on out, this story will bump into my new FanFic, 'Fyre'. I recommend you read it to know background info and such. Anyways, here is the next chapter! :3

Chapter 7: Taken

Blackness overcame Ember as he was pulled into darkness. It felt like he was spinning out of control. Bile rose to his mouth, but he couldn't control his mouth or any of his muscles. The taste was horrifying. Light seemed to whizz by quickly so that it was only a flash for a millisecond before disappearing.

Something squeezed his right hand and sent him jolting to the right. Or was it left? He didn't know which was up, down, left, or right anymore. His ears suddenly popped and the air seemed to be sucked out of him.

A bright flash of light blinded him temporarily. His feet slammed against a hard surface and he fell to his knees. The foul tasting bile escaped his lips and splashed onto the floor. He felt the hand quickly leave his and he put both hands onto the cold ground. After a while of gagging and sputtering, he looked up at Kaitlyn.

"What… the… heck?" Ember asked.

"I teleported you to my house. Don't worry, my first teleport was hard too." She replied nonchalantly.

The room they were in had a checkered white and gray floor. There was a crystal chandelier hanging down from the ceiling. A set of double doors stood on the right wall. Tables, benches, and statues littered the spides of the small room.

"Get up Ember, we have business to do. You need to meet my boss and brother." Kaitlyn commanded.

Ember got up and asked, "You mentioned something about me needing to help you with a task of yours before you helped me with mine."

"We will discuss that when my boss and my brother arrive." Kaitlyn repeated calmly.

After about ten minutes, a tall and bulky man with blue eyes and black hair walked in with a tall and slender man behind him. The tall, slender man swept past the other man and Ember saw his silver-gold eyes flash.

Ember gasped and backed up, "That's Pitch Black! I won't do anything for him!"

He looked over at Kaitlyn and her eyes flashed pure red, "You will do everything we ask."

"I will do…" Ember blinked, "No!"

Kaitlyn flashed her eyes again and Ember gasped. His eyes glazed over to be a milky white.

"I will do everything you ask." Ember said with a monotone.

The bulky man smiled and said, "Good job Dillyla. We can have him get us closer to his father for us."

"You could have done the exact same, Fenra." Dillyla smiled in her human form with fangs starting to appear.

"And remember my part of the deal. After you get Fyre, we kill Jack Frost, the Guardians, and Queen Elsa." Pitch said wickedly.

Dillyla walked over to Ember and placed her hand in his. They immediately disappeared into darkness.

(A/N: In case you got confused; Dillyla and Kaitlyn are the same people. Again, would make a bit more sense if you read Fyre.)

Nicole stood alone in the courtyard. Her mouth hung limply open in despair and her eyes brimmed with tears. She sank to her knees. Tears threatened to spill down her cold cheeks. Why do they keep secrets from me? Nicole thought with despair, I have the right to know why my mother burst into a sudden fit of pain.

Something bumped against her leg and she looked down. 'Lil S'more was rubbing against her leg. He looked up at her with his innocent little eyes. Nicole reached out and started to pet him. At least someone cares. She thought bitterly.

She scooped 'Lil S'more up into her arms before heading back inside. 'Lil S'more reached a tiny paw up and bat at Nicole's hair that was swayed as she walked. Nicole made her way up to her room with 'Lil S'more starting to doze off in her arms.

On her way to her room, she heard voices coming from her parent's door. Nicole went over to the door and listened closely.

"When are you going to tell her?" Jack asked.

"When she is older and can handle it." Elsa replied sharply.

"How old do you take as 'handle it'? You were twenty-five when it happened and that is still too young for anyone to deal with the pain."

Elsa hesitated and said, "I don't know."

"We should tell her now, otherwise she will start to seek answers herself." Jack warned.

"She doesn't need to know that I have died or that I have to live with the pains. It's not important." Elsa dismissed.

"But Els, it does matter. You can't keep shutting people out like this."

"I try not to, but…" She sighed, "I guess I'll never be able to stop because I shut everyone out for half my life."

"Well at least try not to shut Nicole out. Let her in like you did with Anna."

"It doesn't matter anymore, seeing that Nicole already knows." Elsa said angrily.

The door flew wide open and Nicole stared wide eyed at her mother. Snowflakes started to fall from the ceiling as Elsa got progressively angrier.

"Mom-" Nicole started.

"Go to your room." Elsa ordered.

Jack appeared behind Elsa and said, "We should tell her, Els. She probably already knows some of it if she eavesdropped for a few minutes."

Elsa glared at Jack and said, "Did you hear it?"

"You died…" Nicole's voice cracked.

Her mother groaned and went back inside the bedroom. Jack beckoned Nicole inside and they all sat on the bed. Elsa lightly punched Jack on the arm before starting.

"Jack and I were walking back towards the ice palace and Pitch appeared. Pitch said that Hans had captured Anna and I went out of control. I skated quickly down the mountain, but Pitch distracted me and I ended up running into a tree." Elsa gave a halfhearted laugh.

"Pitch took me and Anna to a cave to torture us while Jack went to go get help from the Guardians. Pitch asked me to join him in defeating the Guardians, but I declined. I even managed to kick him in the shins." Elsa said with a smile tugging at her lips, "Hans tortured Anna and I with sharp knives and broke a few of our bones."

Elsa sub consciously lifted a hand and traced the scar on her face, "The Guardians came and took us to North's workshop where Anna and I were sent to the infirmary. I woke up to find Jack beside me and that was when we had our first kiss."

Jack and Elsa smiled at each other before she continued, "After a few hours, my right arm started to have random flares of pain. I un-wrapped the bandages on my right arm to find that it had been poisoned. Jack had to go get a rare herb called Nocturne Root to keep me alive. He got it but…"

She stopped as pain filled her eyes as well as Jack's, "But the poison had reached my heart by the time they gave me the remedy and it was too late. I had died. The next thing I know, I woke up with Jack holding me. An unimaginable pain suddenly washed over me and Jack said… Jack said that I had to live with the pain for the rest of my life because it was the price that was paid for having me live."

Jack leaned over and kissed Elsa gently.

"Your mother deals with it two times a day." Jack said with sympathy.

"Sometimes I wonder if it was even worth it." Elsa said with despair.

Nicole looked at her mother with sympathy. She had gone through so much in her life. Putting 'Lil S'more down onto the bed; Nicole went over to her mother. She placed a gentle hand onto Elsa's shoulder and opened her mouth to say something.

Suddenly the door burst open.
