Hey guys, so so so so sorry for not uploading but I had to help with the moving, my Wi-Fi could be down soon for a week or so, so I just want to apologise for that if it happens. Anyway me and fab OoPoPcAnDY posted our first chapter on our new account. The account is called TangledWithCandy and the story is called Jelsa on Ice, so please go check that out ;) Also I would like to say a massive thanks to GabaDovahtits, who offered to be my Beta Reader! Now on with the story :D
Elsa's POV
I stepped through the doors and was immediately blinded by the bright sun that was high up in the sun. When my eyes adjusted to the bright light I managed to see what was around me. I was standing on a huge stage like thing that weirdly reminded me of the one Jack Skellington and his band played back at the Autumn Social. It seemed like such a long time ago. There were kids crowded around the stage, all staring up at me as I entered, making me fidget. There were flowers and ribbons everywhere making the stage overly bright. My stomach came up when my eyes landed on Peter. He was dressed in a tux, although his shirt was untucked and his tie was loose. I glared at him whilst he grinned. With one swift leap he was by me, his hand firmly on mine. I gave him a disgusted look and wretched my hand free, which didn't seem to bother him much.
"Now boys and girls, let the celebration begin!" he said cheerfully. Out of nowhere appeared a tall boy with a mischievous look in his eyes. The boy cleared his throat,
"Peter Pan do you…" he started, his voice unpleasantly slimy. I shuddered, but before he could continue a group of guards burst into the circle.
"Peter!" One of them shouted, "These tried to escape!" my heart clenched painfully in my chest when I saw my friends being dragged forward, struggling or knocked out. I let out a startled gasp when I saw Merida, Esmeralda, Eugene, John and Hiccup amongst them. And then I saw her, Anna, with her brave face on, struggling against a big guard that was holding her thin, freckled arms behind her back. Peter Pan's face twisted evilly.
"Ah, there's more," he clucked his tounge. Then his eyes narrowed as he surveyed the prisoners, "But one is missing," he hissed, "Where is the white haired boy? Where is he?!" Peter said, his voice rising. The guards looked around each other fearfully but before they could answer a hole appeared right in front of the group of guards and Aster, Jack and a girl in a blue dress climbed out. Jack barely had time to say 'oops' when all three of them were seized.
"I have had enough of you ice boy," Peter spat, suddenly close to Jack, "You are going to hang. You are all going to hang." He turned to Wendy and John and eyed them up and down, "You have disappointed me greatly, Wendy."
"Peter please," Wendy said, looking fearfully up at him, "Please, come back. You're not this person, you're not the Peter I know. Why are you behaving like this?!"
Peter just laughed cruelly in her face and turned around to face the stage where I stood, frozen. My heart thumped noisily against my chest and I was sure everyone could hear it. I knew I had to do something. I raised my hand, focusing on my ice powers, on saving my friends. Once again Peter laughed,
"Save it, Elsa, your powers don't work here." The boy said. He lazily lifted his hand and conjured 8 nooses out of thin air. I gasped, he was actually going to hang my friends!
"Peter, please stop!" I yelled, unable to control myself, "I'll do it. I'll marry you! Just please don't hurt them!" I begged. Peter looked bored,
"Darling, you'll marry me anyway." and with a flick of his fingers my friends had the roped around their necks. I could hear gasps from the crowd, and the Wendy girls sobbing. No, this couldn't end like this! Not after all we did was want to be happy! I thought to myself as tears fell down my cheeks. I felt that I couldn't move. Peter's magic was holding me in place.
"With one pull of this handle, all of these trespassers will hang," Peter said loudly enough for everyone to hear, his hand hovering above a wooden leaver. My eyes scanned my friends frantically. Kristoff's fingers were barely touching Anna's, he looked scared but tried not to show it, looking straight ahead. Anna still had her brave face on, although tears filled her eyes. She looked at me and attempted to smile, and I couldn't even smile back. I just stood there hopeless, as always. Toothless was murmuring things to Hiccup and for once he looked terrified, but it was obvious he was just scared for Hiccup. Hiccup meanwhile was smiling softly at the Night Fury. My eyes slide past them. Aster was back in his human form and he was scanning the surroundings, obviously looking for a way out. Although I knew there was none. Esmeralda looked calm, despite everything. Merida was full out glaring at Peter, muttering curses under her breath. Then there was Eugene who was desperately trying to get Punzie's attention. My eyes rested on my roommate and my heart clenched. Her gorgeous blonde hair was all off, all that was left was short brown hair. Punzie was crying, staring at the ground. No, come on, please, don't let them die, please. I repeated in my head. Then Peter with one hand movement sealed their fate. And there were my friends, struggling as they slowly suffocated. I couldn't blink, breathe, move. I just stood there, watching the only people I cared about slowly die.
And then everything changed. Something swished through the air and all the ropes were cut off at once. The group fell to their knees, gasping desperately. Peter, me and everyone else whirled around to see Jane, the 'maid,' and a man with a hawk nose, bald head and an incredibly long scarf, standing there.
"Jane." Peter hissed. Jane rolled her eyes,
"Save it, Pan." She answered in a bored tone, "I let you find your true love. I let you turn those poor girls into ashes," she kicked a pile of dust under her feet in disgust, "but I will not let you waste the innocent lives of all these people for no reason."
"Oh yeah?" Peter sneered, "What can you do? You and this weird ass man over there don't have anything against me, or my powers!"
"Oh really?" The man asked with a thick accent, "Actually we have a lot against you. We have an army!"
"What army?" Peter asked, scanning the area, "I don't see no army!"
Then the most peculiar noise rang out from the woods and millions of short, yellow creatures with huge eyes ran out. They attacked Peter and the guards with, get this, banana's.
Before I had the chance to respond the bald man was by me.
"My name is Gru, I'm Jane's friend and I'm here to save you." The man said, pulling me off the stage, "Those are my inventions – the minions, but they can't keep that wretched boy back for long so we have to hurry!" We made it to my friends who were all looking better, "We have to get out of here. I trust you know how to?"
I nodded, still not being able to grasp everything that just happened.
"Half of us do," Kristoff said quickly as Wendy and John made his way towards us through the panicking crowd.
"Great, everyone who knows how to grab someone who doesn't and off we go," Jane said as she looked around hurriedly.
"B-but, what about the minions?" I asked. Gru told me they were going to be fine.
"Wendy, John, are you coming with us?" Jack asked. I wanted to throw my arms around him but I knew now wasn't the time. Wendy shook her head,
"No, we can't," John said, pulling a small blonde boy from behind him, "This is Michael. He's our brother. He had to already leave home once, we can't let that happen again."
"Will you be okay?" I asked, suddenly concerned about the wellbeing of the two kids. John looked back and we all saw Peter rushing over to us, with a furious expression.
"Yes, now go!" John said, "and remember what I told you! Think of a happy memory!"
So I did. I grabbed Merida's and Anna's hands and thought of the Social. The Social before Pitch appeared, the social before everything went downhill, the social when everything seemed perfect. Anna was with Kristoff. Toothless was with Hiccup. Aster was dancing with Esmeralda. Merida was stuffing her face and I was safely in Jack's arms. And then I felt it. My eyes were shut. I suddenly felt light and there was a soft, salty breeze around me. I slowly opened my eyes and looked down, beneath us was Neverland, no more than a tiny island, surrounded by the shimmering ocean. I looked to my left, Merida had her eyes squeezed shut, her forehead creasing in concentration. To my right Anna also had her eyes closed, but she looked relaxed.
"It's okay guys, you can open your eyes," I whispered, not wanting to break the calm. I let go of their shaking hands as they looked down. Kristoff let Esmeralda go, Rapunzel reluctantly freed herself off Gru's and Eugene's hands. Hiccup still held Toothless' hand. Jane was already floating by herself, as if she'd done it a million times before. Jack all but dumped Aster as we all whooped and flied around excitedly. It was amazing, something I've never felt before. We floated about giggling like idiots. We swooped down to the sea until the front of our clothes were wet and then we pulled ourselves back up. We dived into freezing clouds and came up soaked, just to dry again in the heat of the afternoon. It was amazing. I have never felt so light. Jack was suddenly by me, holding me in his arms, laughing like he was the happiest person alive. And then we kissed and it took my breath away and it was everything I wanted it to be, making me even more light.
"You look stunning," he whispered in my ear and I flushed remembering that I still had the wedding gown on. Grinning he flew to Aster, pushing him into a huge white cloud that just rolled by.
"Guys, not meaning to interrupt," Gru said after the sun has finally began to set and the stars started to come out, "But we really need to find a way to get back to our world."
"But how?" Punzie asked worriedly. That's when I heard it. It was a soft, barely hear able sound. And it was absolutely magical. The song of the stars. I recalled.
"Follow me," I said softly. The others exchanged confused expressions but wordlessly followed me. The sun was gone now, the moon up, giving everything a gorgeous glow. I looked behind me and there far far far in the distance I saw the tiny outline of Neverland, once again bright with thousands of lights, like they've never been out. The music got louder, more intense. It vibrated through my soul, but when I later tried to describe it, I couldn't find the words. It was the most beautiful sound I have ever heard. I followed it until I couldn't hear anything except from it. I stopped suddenly. As we flew I observed the stars, each different, never the same. Dead for thousands of years but still beautiful. A dying light. But now, in front of me I saw the exact combination of the stars behind me, but backwards. I don't know how I knew it was mirror, I just did. Gently I reached out. I didn't feel anything but the air in front of me rippled, a bit like a calm lake after you dip your hand into it. I motioned at others to follow me and with a deep breath and a last look at the stars I dived in, leaving Neverland behind.
Back in Neverland
Peter never got there in time. They flew off before he could reach them, he knew there was no point in pursuing them. There was never a point. Hopeless, he slumped against the closest wall, feeling the tears gather in his eyes. It was over, there was no point. It has all started when Pitch cursed him. Actually it was Tinker Bell that got cursed but somehow she managed to move the curse onto him. The curse was meant to slowly kill him unless he found true love. So he searched, he married every girl he met, no matter if they wanted to or not. But the second he kissed them they turned to ash. He was slowly losing hope but Elsa had brought it back. She was beautiful and powerful and he was sure that he could fall in love with her if he got to know her. But there was no time. He knew his heart was corrupted, that there was no actual way someone would love him. But he had to try. He couldn't just give up. But it was over there was no point anymore.
"Peter?" A small voice asked above him. He looked up from where he sat on the ground to see Wendy. Wendy. Sweet sweet Wendy. She was always there for him. No matter how cruel he was and how many girls he turned to ash. But even she had a limit. She helped them escape, she taught them to fly. No matter how much he wanted to he couldn't bring himself to hate her. He just felt sadness. Hopeless, painful sadness. Even she was gone, his one friend in the world of hatred. His Wendy that would tell him that it would be okay, that would hold him while he cried, that would wake him up every morning with a bright smile on her face. There was no smile on her face now, just tear stains.
"Peter, please," she whispered, "say something." Peter picked himself up of the floor but still slumped against the wall.
"What do you want me to say?" he asked, his voice hoarse. Although he haven't cried, and the tears remained behind his closed eyelids, he sounded as if he sobbed all of his life, "What do you want me to do Wendy?"
"Nothing," she said, gently reaching to cup his face, "Nothing Peter, I just want you to forgive me."
"Oh Wendy," Peter said sadly, pressing his hand against hers, "there's nothing to forgive. You had the right to act like you did." Peter didn't have the guts to face her, "I'm a monster, Wendy, I'm fully dark. The curse isn't killing me, my own hate is. I hate myself. I hate the world. I hate everything and everyone. Except you," he slowly looked down at her, "I could never hate you. Because I love you. I guess I loved you all along," he said, chuckling to himself without humour, "I just never saw it. I kept on searching for true love when it was right under my nose." He dropped her hand from his cheek, his expression darkening, "But I know you won't love me. There is nothing to love." He was about to move away from her when she suddenly crashed her lips to his. She knew that she would turn to dust, she knew she would die, she knew that Peter would be all alone – and yet she kissed him. And the thing was, she didn't turn into ash, she didn't disappear, she stayed right there, warm and soft as he put his arms around her, drawing her closer. They finally broke apart, their foreheads pressed together.
"I love you too," Wendy breathed. Peter Pan laughed. Then lights blazed all around them. From the ground grew people. A girl with snow white skin and dark curling hair, yawning. A girl with long, dark blonde hair with a dark hairband across her forehead was stretching not far off. Another short girl in a similar blue dress to Wendy's with long blonde hair,
"I had the most peculiar dream," the blonde said, "I was in a place called Wonderland and there was a weird white rabbit there." Peter laughed and pulled Wendy into a group of already dancing Never landers, who were finally happy. The darkness disappeared and the music was playing again. And the city of Lights was bright again.
So sorry for the cheesy ending XD but don't worry the actual story doesn't end here :D
