CH 36

Jack

"She's been out for the last 24 hours North! Don't expect me to stay calm! What if she dies?! The black stuff isn't leaving her body its SPREADING!" I yelled in anger, this was unbelievable, all the magic in the universe couldn't bring my Elsa back.

Every hour that passed her hair grew darker, her veins also turned black and were now visible through her fair skin. They seemed to have reached all the way up her neck and down to her arms and legs, it had me on edge to see her like that.

T:"Jack please calm down we can't just wake her up like it's nothing, you heard Sandy. She might go into shock or worse if we do…"

B:"Oi mate, the real problem is how the Sheila got herself tangled up with Pitch. That's the only reason we should wake her up. You weren't involved we you Jack….?"

Bunny was pointing his hairy finger at me, and it took all my strength not to snap it into a million pieces.

J:"Listen here you big fur ball don't you EVER assume anything about me alright? You have no right-"

N:"Both of you stop!" said North as he stepped in between us. I had no idea at what moment we got so close but tensions were high and he was testing whatever patience I had left.

North continued to talk however. "Listen Jack I understand you are worried about your Elsa, but all we can do is wait. Bunny I know you are desperate to stop Pitch. We all are but Jack would have no reason to know about any of this. So far Anna is our only witness and Elsa as well of course. We must wait. It's all we can do."

I sighed, knowing North was right. Waiting was all we co do at the moment and there was no other way out.

Yet I couldn't help but wonder why Elsa had been near Pitch. Or maybe he'd tricked her like he tried to do with us. I still can't help but feel betrayed yet again by her. She had lied to me over and over and over again about what was going on in her life.

I couldn't take it anymore honestly, I loved her more than anything and I had always been honest with her. Why couldn't she do the same?

These thoughts plagued my mind all day, even well into the night.

Some part of my mind however kept telling me hold on, that she had a reason to do this. She just needed to wake up and tell us what it was.

The other Guardians decided to say and keep watch over the town, they thought there was a chance that Pitch would show any moment now and we needed to be ready. They told me to stay with Elsa in case she awoke, no doubt they figured seeing me might make her feel a little better.

I tried to sleep on a small chair next to her bed but it was uncomfortable, first of all.

Second of all, every time I managed to sleep for a short amount of time I had nightmares of Elsa.

She would tell me she wanted more power, more control over her powers and that's why she teamed up with Pitch. Another dream showed her dead in my arms but she was completely covered in black veins like an illness all over her body.

At one point I wondered over to her window and just got lost in thought, the snow sparkling in the moonlight. I saw in the distance Sandy flying around and playing with the children's dreams.

I heard Elsa's clock toll and was surprised to see it was only an hour past midnight.

I went and sat back next to Elsa on her bed. I caressed her cheek and was stunned at how cold it was so I covered her with a blanket.

J:"Elsa… I have no idea if you can hear me…but please, please wake up. I miss you love I-I have no idea what to think anymore. I don't know what to believe. I just want answers…" I said as a few tears escaped my eyes "I will always love you Elsa…" I pulled out the ring I made for her and grabbed her hand. "No matter what happens… remember I will always love you… and if you wake up I want you to marry me…" I slipped the ring on her finger and then wiped the tears from my eyes. I kissed her cheek and proceeded to sit back on the chair once more. I ran my hands through my hair in frustration and then rubbed my eyes. I was extremely tired at this point but I needed to stay awake, for her.

I heard a small moan and I thought I was me at first but as I looked up I saw Elsa's hand twitch a little bit. I instantly fell on my knees next to her.

J:"Elsa? Elsa can you hear me?!" I said din a loud whisper, if she was awake or starting to come to I didn't want to startle her.

She moved her head from side to side slowly, as if trying to shake of a bad dream or something. I brushed her hair away from her face and tried to talk to her.

J:"Elsa… It's me Jack. Come on love Wake up… You can do it come on…"

She scrunched up her face a little in disgust and then her eyes began to flutter. In that moment my heart skipped a couple of beats, she was so close to waking up I knew it! She could do it, she coul-

E:"J-jack…?" she said in a small whisper,

J:"I'm here! I'm here Princess…" I said as I moved to cradle her in my arms. I rocked her while she tried to regain her whole consciousness.

E:"Jack… wh-what happened?"
J:"I don't know Elsa you've been out for almost two days love."

E:"Two… two days? Did you say two days…?" she said

J:"Yes why? Elsa what's wrong?"

She put her hand to her in disbelief, and her mouth was moving rapidly as if trying to make sense of something,

E:"Jack I- you need to leave…"

J:"I'm not leaving, not until you tell me what's going on and until you tell me why this is happening to you." I said as I grabbed her hand and pointed at the dark veins running up and down her arm. Her eyes went wide in surprise and then she looked at me.

E:"I… I can't…" her voice broke "I'm sorry…."

J:"You can't or you won't?"

E:"Don't be like that please just listen!"

J:"No Elsa YOU listen I'm tired of everything alright? Why can't you just trust me? I know this has something to do with Pitch and if you tell me we can get through it together!"

At this point I felt the tears in my eyes threaten to spill over and her were already streaming down her cheeks. I felt bad for yelling at her but I wanted to help her and she wouldn't let me.

E:"I'm sorry Jack…I.." and suddenly she screamed again like when we were on the beach and fell to the ground. Her body convulsing and thrashing wildly on the floor.

J:"Elsa!"
