CH 37

Jack

She was having another episode and all I could think of was what I could do to help. Someone heard me however, and I saw Anna run in trying to pull me off Elsa.

I had tried to restrain her body from shaking so violently, I didn't want her to get hurt any more than she already was.

A:"Jack! You can't stop this it'll be over soon! Someone help!"

I fell a bunch of hands pull at me a few seconds later. When I composed myself I realized North, Kristoff and Bunny were holding me back.

Elsa kept having the attack, it felt like it lasted for hours and we were all beginning to worry.

A:"L-last time it didn't last this long… it was only a couple of minutes, no more than five…"

N:"There's nothing we can do. We can only wait…"

I felt the tears rush once more, I couldn't believe this was happening and I was helpless to stop it. No sooner had that thought crossed my mind when Elsa went completely still.

She was on the floor motionless and I rushed to her side once more.

I cradled her in my arms and at once felt how cold she was. Normally I don't notice such low temperature, heck I'm the spirit of winter, but this was a different type of cold. Nothing felt so cold except or death…

E:"J-jack…" she said as she opened her eyes.

J:"I'm right here" I said as I stroked her hair "I'm not leaving you…" She blinked and I saw her eyes had gone from a beautiful light blue to black. It sent a shiver down my spine, but I said nothing to her.

Looking back now I know I should have, maybe it could have helped our situation.

Elsa

I had never seen Jack cry before and I hoped I never saw it again. It broke my heart into a million pieces to see him cry, and I knew it because of what was happening. Maybe it was time to come clean, Pitch was coming for me any moment now anyway.

J:"I-I have to tell you the truth. I'm sorry for lying to you this way but if I hadn't then you and the people I care about the most would have… would have…" I felt like I couldn't get the words out of my mouth, instead I started crying and I wrapped my arms around his neck.

J:"Shh it's alright my love. I'm here, it's ok…" he said as he stroked my hair.

E:"He would have killed you Jack and… I know if I tell you this I'm risking your lives. I can't stand to see you or Anna or any of the Guardians get hurt… and all because of me…"

At this point was looking into his eyes. He brought his hand to my face and I leaned into his palm. It felt so soft, so welcoming.

Next thing I know, his lips were on mine and I couldn't help but weave my hands through his silky hair. It was a soft and tender kiss, but I felt his passion burn as bright as mine. He pulled away after a few seconds, no doubt remembering there were others in the room.

J:"Whatever is going on I know we can get through it together ok? You're not alone."

A:"He's right Elsa." Said Anna as she stepped closer to us. "We can do this together. That's what we're here for sis."

Her statement moved me to tears once more and I knew what I had to do.

Deep down inside something told me I should have done this the moment Pitch threatened me, all I could do was hope it wasn't too late to change things.

E:" I'm sorry I've lied to you all. Please understand I felt like I had no choice… Pitch threatened me and I just wanted to keep you all safe…"

B:"Alright Princess spit it out if we're gonna stop him you need to tell us what happened before it's too late."

I nodded at Bunny and I got ready to tell my story.

E:"You see when everything that happened with Hans went down I guess Pitch somehow found me and came to see me…"

After what seemed a long time I told them of everything that happened, even about the voice in my head.

They all stood astounded by what I'd just said, and I figured they probably thought I was insane.

E:"He's coming today to get me and… I have no idea what to do to stop him."

J:"Elsa we'll fight. That's the only rational choice we have but I won't let him take you. If I have to beat him until he begs for mercy I-"

P:"You will what Jack?"

Said a voice coming from behind us. Jack and I turned around slowly and saw him, standing in the shadows near the window. Pitch Black.

P:"I see you broke our deal Ice Queen, but no matter. I'm here to take you unless you want them all dead. Starting with you little sister…." He said as he flashed a deadly smile.

A:"Elsa…" I turned to Anna and saw she was choking, she was grabbing at her throat as if something was trying to suffocate. Kristoff was at her side in an instant and was trying to help but to no avail.

E:"No stop please! I'll go just… leave them alone!"

J:"Elsa don't!"

P:"Hmm a wise decision your majesty…" and he snapped his fingers and I fell to my knees. The pain in my chest began once again but it wasn't very strong. It felt like a hard heavy pounding coursing through my body and it only seemed to get louder and louder.

I could hear Jack scream my name, yelling other incoherent things. It was like I was in a completely different room or under water.

I was terrified but this was the right thing to do. No one else would die because me, not anymore. If this was the last and only sacrifice I needed to make, then so be it.
