Chapter 8: Missing
The door burst open and Fyre rushed in with Emily not far behind.
"Ember has gone missing!" Fyre yelled with despair.
Emily was by his side with tears running down her cheeks.
"Please help us find him." Emily sobbed.
Elsa and Jack quickly got up and rushed over to comfort the distressed couple. No one noticed, but Nicole was crying along with Fyre and Emily.
No, he can't be gone. Nicole thought with despair, He was at the party last time I saw him.
She walked over to the window and looked at the starry night sky. Suddenly lights appeared in the sky and flashed different colors quickly.
"What are those lights in the sky?" Nicole asked.
Jack rushed over to her side and looked out the window. He groaned and looked back and forth between the distressed couple and the lights.
"Work can wait, family is first." He said after a while.
When he looked at Nicole, concern flashed across his face. She looks just as distressed as Fyre and Emily. Jack thought.
Jack guided Nicole back to the small group and they all sat on the bed. Fyre had Emily in his arms as she cried into his shoulder. Jack put an arm around Elsa's waist and pulled her closer before talking again.
"When do you last see him?"
"I saw him running up to his room." Emily managed through a fit of sobs, "When I went to check if he had gone to sleep… he wasn't there and no one else had seen him."
Fyre tucked a strand of Emily's brown hair behind her ear before saying, "It's ok. We will find him."
Suddenly, a swirling vortex of light appeared on one of the walls and two yetis climbed out.
Jack's skin went deadly pale, "Hey Phil… you don't have to put me in th-"
One of the yetis grabbed Jack by the arm and stuffed him into a leather bag, pulling Elsa in behind him. Elsa screamed as she suddenly got pulled off of the bed. Nicole gasped and got up to try to free her parents.
"I know them, it's all good. Just follow them into the portal." A muffled voice came from inside the bag.
The yeti that held the bag swung it over his shoulder and beckoned the others to follow him. The yetis filed into the portal and disappeared. Fyre looked at the portal in confusion at first to try to piece together what all just happened before he got up. Nicole and the teary eyed Emily followed him and they all piled into the portal.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Elsa let out a small scream when she was forced into the bag with Jack. They were both pushed close together and it was very uncomfortable.
"I know them, it's all good. Just follow them into the portal." Jack said calmly.
They started moving and Elsa gasped as she felt them leave the room.
"Jack, what's going on?" Elsa whispered frantically.
"The yetis are taking us to North's workshop. This is the way they took me when I first became a Guardian." Replied Jack.
She felt him reach up and touch her cheek and they leaned forward. They met each other with a warm kiss. Jack nibbled at her lip for a bit and she let out a moan. Elsa rubbed her hand through his hair slowly.
They suddenly hit the floor and fell out of the leather bag, still kissing. Elsa heard a few 'oh…' s when they tumbled out. Jack had fallen on top of her and he was suddenly pulled up. She opened her eyes to see an angry Fyre holding Jack up by the collar.
"My son is missing and you get taken away for one second, and decide to have a make out session with Elsa? Really Jack? Really? This is how you make of a bad situation?" Fyre yelled.
"I'm sorry Fyre." Jack said with hurt eyes.
"If you aren't going to help, Emily and I will just find him ourselves!" Said Fyre irritably.
Fyre let go of Jack and Elsa scrambled up.
"Fyre-" She started.
"No, we will find him ourselves if you two can't stay focused."
"Fyre, honey, calm down. We can't do it without them." Emily said as she wrapped her arm around his.
The couple exchanged a few glances before Fyre sighed in defeat. Nicole walked over to her mother's side awkwardly and bit her lip.
"Um… hello Jack." A deep voice said behind them with a thick Russian accent.
They all turned and Jack said angrily, "Hey, ya know you don't have to throw me into a bag again to get me to come here!"
"You not come within five minutes, I send yetis." North shrugged.
"Who are these people?" Emily asked.
"These are the Guardians; North, Tooth, Bunny, and Sandy." Jack said.
"Oh I remember when you told us about them." Emily said smiling despite her being terribly saddened a few minutes ago.
"Guys, meet Fyre and Emily; Ember's parents." Elsa said.
"Oh I remember Ember!" Tooth exclaimed, "He had nice teeth… speaking of which; where is he?"
Emily's smile faded and tears started to run down her face. She buried her head into Fyre's shoulder and he held her reassuringly.
"He went missing just a while ago and we are trying to find him." Fyre's voice cracked.
"Well we might have an answer to that, mate. We got a message from Pitch." Bunny said.
North snapped and a blue light appeared in front of them. An image of Pitch and a young woman with a young man stood beside him. The woman was tall and slender with pale skin, blue eyes, black hair and an elaborate red and black dress. The man was tall and bulky with blue eyes and black hair. Fyre gasped as he saw the image and he stared at the man and woman with surprise.
"I know who those two are…" Fyre said under his breath, surprised.
The woman spoke first, "Guardians, we would like to take back what it rightfully ours; our son, Lance, who now goes by the name of Fyre."
Fyre went deathly pale and Pitch said, "If you don't return him to us, we will kill Queen Elsa, Nicole, Emily and Ember in retaliation. In two days at noon, meet at Elsa's ice palace to hand him over. If you don't… well you already know."
Pitch smiled wickedly and the image dispersed. Everyone turned to Fyre and he sank to his knees.
"My parents…" He said with his voice cracking, "I can't return to them, they threw me out!"
"We won't let them take you." Elsa said with determination.
"But they will kill you. I will turn myself in." Fyre said after a while.
"No, we will find a way to get around it." Emily said, "Let's plan tomorrow and go to Nicole's birthday party to have some fun."
Fyre looked at her skeptically before giving in, "Okay, but if you get hurt you know I'll never forgive myself."
He held Emily by the waist and she laid her head on his chest.
"I know." She whispered sadly.
