CH 38

Jack

I couldn't understand what was going. All I knew was this… person wasn't my Elsa.

Her hair was now as black as coal and her eyes went from a serene blue to a dark purple. The veins were now visible all over her body and her gown had turned into a tight black, off the shoulders dress.

J:"E-elsa…?" maybe there was a chance she was still in there, my sweet love. This was all my fault, I shouldn't have left her alone for even a second.

She snapped her head and looked at me, but when I made eye contact with her I saw nothing.

I didn't see the innocent girl I loved, nor the one who sometimes cried in her sleep over her parent's death.

No this time her eyes showed me only one thing: Death.

P:"Now THIS is an improvement!" said Pitch as her circled Elsa and looked her up and down. "Tell me Jack what do you think of your Queen now?" he said followed by a deep laugh that sent chills down my spine.

Everything moved in a blur after that, all I remembered was my fist connecting with the side of Pitch's face and it began.

N:"GET ANNA AND KRISTOFF OUT NOW!"

T:"Elsa NO!"

And I suddenly felt something hard a very cold hit my side, next thing I knew I was on the floor clutching at my side. When I moved my hand I saw a dark liquid stain on my palm and I looked at Elsa.

I couldn't believe it, she'd actually hurt me.

J:"Elsa how…"

E:"I am NOT Elsa any longer! You attacked my Master and I'm bound to protect him!" She yelled as she aimed to me once more. I managed to roll out of the way and out of the corner of my eye I saw North and Bunny trying to fight her off. She was strong however, and I willed all my power for a quick healing.

After a few moments I knew I needed to do something so North and Bunny could catch a break from her.

J:"I'm sorry Princess…" and I blasted her, causing her body to break through the door and hit the floor.

After a few minutes I noticed she wasn't getting up. In fact she was whimpering, I'd hurt her…worse than I actually intended to.

I made my way to her and she attempted to get up. Every time she tried she fell back down, I could hear North and Bunny yelling at me, telling me to stop.

They were fighting Pitch now but I couldn't stop, and that's when I heard her.

E:"Jack…?" and she looked up at me with those beautiful blue eyes. She looked at me like the times she would wake up crying over her parents, or when she hurt Anna.

J:"Elsa…" and as I reached out to her I saw from the corner of my eye a small movement of her hand. She had managed to form a sharp icicle and she almost stabbed me with it.

I dodged it and with the other hand I grabbed the arm she was using to swing at me.

E:"You insolent boy…I'm far more powerful than you have or will ever be!"

She moved her other arm and tried to punch me and I caught it as well and that's when I saw it.

The ring.

I had forgotten I put it on her while she was unconscious.

J:"Elsa look at this. LOOK AT YOUR HAND!"

She looked at it angrily and tried to shake my grip off her wrists. All that got her was losing her weapons and it only made her madder.

J:"Look. At. The ring."

She glared at it as if her gaze could somehow melt it.

J:"I gave it to you… before all this happened. We were at the beach remember? I took you there because…with this ring… I was going to ask you to marry me…"

This seemed to catch her off guard and she her body relaxed a bit, I think I even saw her eyes flash blue for just a second.

E:"No… You're just saying it to distract me!" and she started pushing against me. Somehow whatever Pitch did to her managed to make her stronger, I had a hard time restraining her and often times she'd almost hit me.

J:"No I'm not lying! I love you Elsa. Look at me!"

She glared at me with her dark purple eyes and if looks could kill…

E:"Why are you doing this?!

J:"Because I can't lose you!"

E:"I hate you! Do NOT patronize me! I will kill you all and rule the world!"

Somehow she made another icicle and she managed to scratch my cheek with it.

J:"I'm not going to fight you anymore…" I said as I fell to my knees. "I know this isn't you Elsa… I'm sorry I couldn't save you… That's the biggest mistake I ever made…"

She shook her head in disbelief and started to walk away. Then I saw her eyes flash blue once more and she grabbed her head.

P:"Elsa kill him! Now's your chance! DO IT!"

She raised her arm, poised and ready to kill.

E:"I can't… I…I…" and suddenly something sharp stuck out from her midsection. It was one of her own icicles.

J:"ELSA!"
