Chapter 45: To The Top
Normal POV
Back at the pole everyone who stayed behind was watching everything from North's huge flat screen. Families and friends quivering in fright and doubt. Some trying to give them hope and others comforting each other. However most people were completely in doubt and in sadness. They all lost people who were important to them. Family, friends, loved ones, everyone. Jasmine especially. Salton stayed with her and tried to comfort his only daughter. Kai and Gerda Arendelle were still very much afraid and worried for their daughter's safety. Pabbie stood with them the whole time trying to give them comforting words of encouragement. The Elves and the Yetis did their best too, by giving the refugees some refreshment to calm their minds. They we're very grateful for their help. However Belle having watched the devastation of the war began to feel fearful of Adam's life. She snuck away from the crowd and into North's office. There, she started looking around his desks and cabinets, until she found it. A snow globe.
"I'm sorry everyone." Belle sighed sadly. "But I have to do this. Adam is in danger and I can't let him die." She said with a single tear rolling down her cheek. She then whispered the name of the Empire State Building and threw it, making a portal. She stood there timid for a moment then began walking through. "I'm coming to save you Adam.
Jack POV
We we're nearing our destination.
"Let's go!" I shouted to everyone. They all nodded in determination and we all headed for the elevator. However the instant the elevator doors opened up a Nightmare man was waiting and a attacking.
"Look out!" Anna yelled. But I stood there, unfazed. Then I ended its life with a stroke of ice.
"Lazy horror movie stunt at it's worst." I snarled at the pile of black sand. I almost thought that it was the Ever Evolving Force. But I then realized that it would wait for us and expect to kill us that easily. We all piled in the elevator and pressed the top floor button. As we ascended my thoughts kept coming back to Elsa's beautiful face. Her smile. Her tears. Her laughter. I swear that I'll get her back. But then all of a sudden the elevator stopped moving.
"What the hell?" Bunny said.
"Urgh! Elevator's stuck!" Adam snarled.
"Pitch knows we're here." Heart said. But then the elevator doors opened up. We're almost there. Guess we're taking escalators.
"Come on! Time to finish this!" He motioned them to follow me as I raced out of the elevator. The others followed me as well. The hallways were swarmed with Nightmare Men charging in to attack us. But nothing we couldn't handle. I frosted most of them. North and Heart shot and slashed the opposing ones. Bunny and Sandy destroyed them in a group with boomerangs and whips. Adam and Kristoff grappled them with their strength. Tooth and Anna were able to fend themselves okay, they can handle anything that comes at them. "Adam! Bunny! Can you tell if we're getting close?"
"Much closer then you think, mate." Bunny sniffed.
"I can smell, Pitch's presence as well." Adam agreed. However. "Wait! I smell another fowl stench."
"What is it?" I asked. But before he could answer. The sound of a bullet boomed and out of nowhere Adam was hit in the side by a bullet. He roared in agony and pain "Adam!" I yell frantically. Someone charged in and pushed Adam through a window out on the one of the roofs of the building. Needless to say it was raining. The man began laughing maniacally as he ran out and kicked Adam down the building. However Adam held his grip and managed to land on another roof of the building. "You son of a Bitch!" I snarled. But then he snapped his fingures and summoned a legion of Nightmares! "Damn it! Get out of our way!" But that fell on deaf ears as they all charged at us. Then the man jump off from the roof on to the one Adam is on. That guy just jumped off a high story building! How the Hell did he do that!?
Normal POV
The man, who is Gaston, landing on the roof the wounded Adam fell on.
"Get up!" He smirked. Adam growled and struggled to get up. But his wound was so severe. "Get up!" Gaston snarled as he kicked Adam to the edge. "What's the matter Beast?" He chuckled. "Too kind and gentle to fight back?" He mockingly smiled. Adam was on the verge of passing out. Gaston then saw a statue of dragonhead and ripped it off. He was going to use it as a mallet.
"No!" Called a familiar voice. Adam went wide-eyed in shock. He knew what that voice was. He looked down where the entrance to the building was located. Even though it was long way down Adam could see clearly who it was. It was Belle.
"Belle?" He murmured.
"No! Gaston, Don't!" She begged. Even though it was a big shock to her that Gaston was part of the Dominion. Gaston saw her two then got a brilliant idea. He snapped his fingers again summoning two Nightmare Men. They grab Belle and bring her to him. They drop her and Gaston had Belle in a tight grip. She struggled to get free but the more she struggled the tighter Gaston's grip became. Still, she continued to scream.
"LET ME GO, GASTON! LET ME GO!" She squealed. "YOU'RE HURTING ME!"
"Well maybe if you stop struggling and squealing and be a good girl, I might not have to be so rough!" He hissed.
"Please!" She begged with tears streaking down her face. "Please let him go."
"Oh I might be able to clear up this little misunderstanding, if..." He smirked.
"If what?" She stared in suspicion.
"If you marry me." He simply said.
"What?" She stared in wide-eyed shock.
"One little word, Belle. That's all it takes."
"Never!" She snarled.
"Have it your way." He glared down at her.
"Belle!" Adam called as he struggled to get back up.
"ADAM!" She squealed in relief.
"Let her go!" He shouted.
"And let you claim my prize? Never!" He hissed back. Just by hearing that word made Adam glare at Gaston with absolute rage. Gaston then had the black sand restrain Belle to the wall. Then Gaston was about to crush Adam with his stone mallet.
"Let. Her. Go. NOW!" He shouted with all his rage and catches in in his beasty hand. Adam rises up and roars in Gaston's face. Gaston backs away trying to keep his distance while Adam merely taunting him. Gaston then tried to swing the stone mallet, but Adam grabbed them both. Both men were now in a struggle of strength. Gaston considered himself as the strongest man in the world and had no equal. But he was at a loss. Adam was much more stronger. This is then proven when Adam forced and pushed Gaston back to the ground near the edge. This time Adam lunched himself at Gaston, and the two fell off and onto another roof of the building. But Gaston pushed Adam back with his feet. Finally, Adam takes a hiding place among the gargoyles in the darkness.
"Come on out and fight!" He shouted. "Were you in love with her, beast? Did you honestly think she'd want you when she had someone like me?" Adam came right behind him. Gaston threw a right swing, but Adam dodged it and evaded. Adam grabbed him a swung him around but Gaston shoves him off. He then throws punch after punch but Adam evades them with ease. "It's over, beast! Belle is mine!" Gaston shouts, as he is about to attack. But this time Adam head butts him and grabs him by the neck and holds him out over the edge of the roof. "Put me down. Put me down. Please, don't hurt me! I'll do anything! Anything!" Gaston pleads with Adam. But Adam wasn't going to give him the satisfaction. That until he started to soften up. He realizes that he is not like him. Not like THEM. Adam's anger slowly melts off his face, and the look of compassion returns. He pulls Gaston back onto the roof.
"You said you would do anything, right?" He glared at Gaston. Gaston nodded quickly out of fear for his life. "Run. Run away. And never return. Before I change my mind and gut you like sheep!" He hissed. He shoves Gaston to the ground.
Jack POV
After finally defeating every single on of those Nightmare bastards we went outside towards the hole in the window. Me, Tooth, and Sandy flew outside and looked around in the pouring rain.
"Look!" Tooth called and pointed down. I looked to see that it was… Belle Booker?
"Ms. Booker!? What the hell is she doing here!?" I frantically said.
"How should I know! I think the better question is HOW did she get here!?" Tooth responded. We zoomed down and landed to where she was. She was pinned to the wall back black sand.
"Ms. Booker! Hang on!" I said as I froze the black sand with my ice powers. She was able to break free.
"Adam! He's in trouble!" She said in panic. We ran to the edge of the building and looked down to see Adam holding up that man from before. He looked like he was going to drop him, but he didn't. "Adam!" Belle called out. Adam turned to see Belle from up high.
"Belle?" He smiled. Belle reached her head down to him as he began to climb the high story building walls. "Belle." He said her name again as he took her hand. He then took his other claw and touched Belle's cheek. "You came." He said in awe. Belle only smiled and she held to his arm. Letting the feel of his touch sink in. I could only smile. Those two make a great couple. But then suddenly the moment is interrupted when Gaston sneaks up and stabs Adam in the back with his pocketknife. Adam roars in pain, and Belle is helpless.
"Adam!" She screams in shock and fear. Gaston, smirking manically, pulls the knife out and swings back for another shot. "No! Stop it!" Belle begged. But Gaston was too insane to listen. But before he had another shot I flew towards him grabbed him by the neck and took him out above the streets at a very high distance. He started to panic and beg.
"Wait! Wait! Please! Let me live! I swear I will leave and never be seen again!" He begged with tears in his eyes. I only glared at him. The rage and hate coursing through my veins.
"What makes you think I will give you the slightest satisfaction?" I hissed at him.
"Please just let me go!" He begged. Then something inside of me sparked a changed. I… smiled. But… maniacally.
"Bad choice of words." I smirked. Then I did what he asked me to. I… let him go. He then screamed in fear as he fell thousands of feet down to the concrete streets until he was only and ant site. I floated in my place looking down from up on high. Looking at his dead, lifeless, broken corpse. I smiled with an dark and venomous intent. But then I snapped out of it. Breathing slowly and heavily. "W-wha… what… did I just… do?" I ask in horror.
I flew back to the building to see Adam was inside the Empire State Building with Belle resting his head on her lap. We just stood there and watched in horror as we could all tell he was dying. He lost too much blood. But Adam was glad to see her again.
"Belle, are you okay?" He breathed heavily.
"Of course I am. But I couldn't let him..." Belle paused for moment in sadness. "Oh this is all my fault. If only I'd gotten here sooner." She said with tears in her eyes.
"Maybe it's better this way." Adam breathed heavily.
"Don't talk like that. You'll be all right. We're together now. Everything's going to be fine. You'll see." Belle frantically reassured him, while putting on a forced smile. Adam forced himself a smile too as he placed his paw in her cheek and she held to his arm. Letting the feel of his touch sink in one last time.
"At least I got to see you one... last...time." Adam said Belle pulls Adam's hand up to her cheek. He holds it there for a second, and then drops it. His head falls back, and his eyes close. Belle drops the paw and puts her hands to her mouth. She can't believe this has happened. Neither could we. Adam the Beast was dead.
"No, no! Please! Please! Please don't leave me! I love you!" She hugged herself close to Adam crying. Anna herself couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes and leaned against Kristoff's chest. Kristoff held her in his arms to comfort her, but even he shed a little tear down his cheek. North, Heart, and Sandy all bowed their heads in respect, as they too felt sad for Belle's loss. Tooth did the same thing Anna did and cried into Bunny's furry chest. Bunny also did the same as Kristoff. Holding her for comfort. But me, it was different. I felt more than just sadness. The rage and hate coursing through my veins. No more! No more deaths! No more losses! No more darkness! Pitch is gonna pay for this! I'm gonna find that sick bastard, and I'm gonna make him burn!
Normal POV
Pitch sits alone in his throne room. Hans and the fates stood before him, waiting their instructions. Pitch just stares at his own flat screen TVs, smiling at the sight of his war.
"All according to plan." He smiled maniacally.
