I know we are already four days in but Happy 2016 everyone.
Pitch was at his office desk alone at his gang's lair when Nottingham and the rest of the surviving members of the gang stormed in. Nottingham's face was severally burned from his less then pleasant accounter with Jack but he was was still alive, though the skin on the right side of his lips completely melted off causing his teeth to permanently show and his voice to sound gravely.
"You look awful Nottingham." Pitch said looking up at his associate. "What happened?"
"Jack Frost happened." Nottingham said "That bloody bastard bamn near blew us all up with a barrell filled with whisky and gun powder, damn near melted my entire face off. We took care of him real good though. We filled his stinking carcass up with so much bullets there is no way the undertaker will ever find all of them. It's over boss, Jack Frost is no longer a threat."
Pitch smiled at the news as he got up and stared out the lone window at his office, there was still one thing on his mind however.
"And how about Elsa and that other Winters girl? Have they been disposed of as well?"
"No sir." Nottingham said "Jack the clever bastard had a secret escape hatch that he had hidden. Elsa and the others must have used it to make there getaway because we searched Jack's house for over a hour for them and we never found them, the Winters sisters and whoever else was with them escaped, including Mayor North."
"Doesn't matter." Pitch said "They will pop there little heads out of the woodwork eventually, and when thay do we will eliminte each and every one of them. We got bigger issues on our head now boys. Without Jack Frost around anymore there is nothing that can stop us from taking over the rest of Colby. We will set fire to their houses, riot their stores and bring fear to the hearts of every man and women or children in town. Tonight Colby will believe in the boogy man, tonight and forever more, Colby will be a town covered in fear. Saddle up boys, we got a town to take over."
Then Pitch and the rest of Pitch's gang saddled up their hourses, loaded up there weapons and stormed into Colby. The first thing Pitch did was light a torch and threw it through the window of a house setting the house aflame. The rest of his gang followed suit, burning down more then a dozen houses, abducting the women who ran out of the house and dragging them off to a secluded area before raping them.
Pitch also smashed into several small convenient stores and filled his pockets with as much money and stolen items as he could grab. The town was in a state of panic and as people was running in the streets scared. Pitch and his gang looked on at what they had done and smiled.
"Look at them Hans," Pitch said with a grin, "Scared shitless."
"They sure are boss." Hans laughed
"Well lets give them more reason to be scared." Pitch said as he took out his gun and fired a shot in the air, causing everybody to jump and turn toward Pitch, frozen in fear.
"Listen up you people, this here town belongs to me now. Your Mayor has fled and I am here to take his rightful place. Anyone dare to challenge me? Anyone!?"
The towns people just stood there to scared to say anything. Many of them hid inside the nearest pub or convenient store for safety.
"Well then," Pitch laughed as he turned to his boys "If no one is brave enough to challenge me for spot of the mayor then I guess I win the election don't I boys."
"Yeah," The rest of the gang laughed among themselves. "Yeah it does."
"Well then." Pitch said "As I first decree as Mayor, I am giving full control of the city over to the Pitch Black gang. No one is allowed to lay a hand on them or else you will be arrested and executed. Their criminal history will be erased, their warrents dropped and they are allowed to roam free in the town and do as they want without fear or consequences." Pitch's men cheered when Pitch gave the news.
"Also" Pitch continued pointing to the crowd of people "I need a volunteer from the crowd to deliver a message for me?"
Nottingham then grabbed a young boy from the hands of her pleading mother and pushed him toward Pitch.
"What is your name boy?"
"J... Jamie." the young boy said
"Well Jamie I want you to find Elsa Winters and give her a message for me." Pitch then grabbed a random woman from the crowd, put her in a headlock and shoved his gun to her head.
"Tell her that she has twenty four hours to turn herself and everyone affiliated with her in. And everyday she doesn't somebody dies. Starting tonight!"
Pitch then pulled the trigger on the gun shooting the women in his arms dead as the rest of the crowd screamed with fear.
"Now clear the area!" Pitch said as he fired his gun in the air again causing the crowd to run off scared. "Anyone spotted outside after dark will be shot on sight. Move it!"
Back in Middleton Merida was sitting in the middle of a circle of rocks right next to a stream meditating. It was something she did everyday in order to clear her mind and sometimes she would sit there for hours on in not saying a word as she closed her eyes and focused on her meditating.
Her focus was suddenly broken though as she heard Elsa's footsteps appear on the soft green grass.
"Mind if I join you out here?" Elsa asked
" I believe you just did." Merida said as Elsa sat down on the grass next to Merida.
"It's really beautiful out here." Elsa said "And really peaceful too."
"I know," Merida said "Which is why it is my favorite place here, I can sit here and meditate without fear of destractions from the rest of the world."
"Why do meditate so much anyway?" Elsa asked "Tonto told me that it is something very important to your tribe but he really didn't go much in detail about why?"
"Meditation is a way that my people can get in contact with our past ancestors." Merida said before looking up at the stars in the night sky "Look up at the stars Elsa, notice how there are billions and billions of stars up there?"
"Yeah?" Elsa responded
"Whenever someone dies, whether red skinned or other, their spirit descends to the sky and becomes a star. Whenever we need guidance we meditate and the spirit of our ancestors will call out to us from the stars and give us guidance."
"Do you think Jack's spirit is up there looking down at me right now?" Elsa asked
"I know he is." Merida said "And whenever you feel lonely or feel like you need help, all you need to do is call out to him and he will be there for you."
"Back when I was a little girl." Merida continues "Before white people came in and settled here all the building and rodes you see around you use to be covered in the greenest of grass and buffalo use to roam these plains. Every month my people would go out on a massive buffalo hunt. The night before the hunt we would all stay up and meditate and communicate with our past ancestors. They would bless our hunt and wish us safe journey, and they would also show us where to find the buffalo. You see Elsa buffalo was very important to our tribe, not only would they provide food for our family but we used their fur also for clothes and shelter, we would make our tents and blankets out of their fur and use their bones for weapons and tools. Not a single part of the buffalo was wasted. One buffalo was enough to feed and cloth two families."
"What happened to the buffalo?" Elsa asked
"When the pale skins settled they chased the majority of the buffalo off and whatever buffalo they couldn't chase off they killed for their own uses. Now what buffalo is left is to far out for us to reach and we have been forced to resort to other methods in order to survive. Most white men don't care about or ways or tradition Elsa. They fear us and judge us because we are different. That is why I am often out here meditating Elsa. So that when I feel scared, my ancestors can give strength to continue on."
"Not all pale skins is like that though." Elsa said "Back in Colby back when Woody was Sheriff the mayor signed a peace treaty with the Indians, so that their would be no tension between them and us."
"I know that Elsa. But sadly not every town has it as lucky as yours." Merida said as she picked up her bow. "Back when I was a little girl back when we still had the buffalo my father gave me this bow, he woved it himself out of buffalo skin and fur. He told me that it was very important that every Comanche boy and girl learn how to use the bow, that it would help protect us from any danger that came our way. Well both my mother and father were killed in a meeting with white men but I always carry the bow he gave me with me as a sign that he is still with me even today. And whenever I feel scared I just look up to the stars, meditate and he is there with me again in spirit."
"We got company." the two of them suddenly heard Anna say as she stepped outside on the porch. Both Elsa and Merida got up and walked inside to see what Anna was talking about when they noticed Jamie standing at the front door with a terrified look on his face.
"What's the matter son?" Elsa asked once she reached the front door.
"Forgive me for intruding." Jamie said "It wasn't easy finding you but eventually I was able to find the right people to show me where you was hiding. I was forced by Pitch to deliver a message to you Elsa."
"Well what is it?" Elsa asked
"Pitch has taken over Colby and has made himself mayor."
"No!" North gasped when he heard the news.
"He has branded you and who has sided with you criminals and said that you have twenty four hours to turn yourself and for everyday you don't someone dies. Please Elsa you got to return Colby is is danger."
Elsa gasped when she heard the news and took a step back in shock then she nodded in agreement, she had go back.
"Thank you for the message." Elsa said as she closed the door.
"What are we going to do?" Kristoff asked
"The one thing we can do." Elsa said "Return to Colby and take Pitch down. This is my home and I won't just stand here while some mad man tries to destroy it."
"We will all fight with you." Woody said
"We might not be enough though," Elsa said "Pitch has a lot of men by his side. If we are going to stop him we are going to need more then just you."
"We convince the rest of Colby to fight back then." Reid said "convince them that if they really care for there town then they need to stand up and fight for it."
"That could work." Elsa said "But there is still one more person that I know will be dieng to fight by us."
"Who?" Woody asked
"A girl that me and Jack met on our journey earlier, a girl that Jack helped turn her life around. A girl who owns a certain gun shop. A girl known as Shego."
Man, this version of Merida is so fun to write
I am going to be working hard to get this story finished within the next month or two and have even put a couple of my stories on hold in order to do it.
Please leave a review and will see you next chapter.
