Frozen: Brooklyn's Snowflake

Chapter 23

It took them until near sunset to fly over to the Dark Sea shores but Brooklyn managed to make it, landing on the damp beach sands, staring out in disbelief at the sight of all that water.

His ears fell while Elsa slid off of his back. "Y-you sure you want to do this?" Brooklyn questioned, wings around his shoulders. Elsa nodded. "Are you able to glide across?"

Stepping forward, Brooklyn took a breath, raising his wings again, flying into the air on a glide, trying to glide out into the waters but the wind and sea spray were too much for him to handle, causing Brooklyn to flinch, closing his eyes, and losing his balance in the air, falling down into the water.

He coughed and spluttered out the salty stuff, collapsing back to the shoreline, shaking his head. "Well, gliding's out, that's for sure," The male replied, squeezing his hair dry.

Elsa took off her tarp, tossing it aside, an idea coming into her head. "I'm going to try my magic and see if I can run across," She said. Brooklyn nodded, watching from a distance while Elsa began to run across the ocean, stepping on magical ice steps. But a big wave sent her back to shore. Though she did seem to get farther along than Brooklyn did.

Brooklyn helped Elsa to her feet. "So, I suppose your ice magic is the only way across since flying and boating are not an option," He then said. "But what about me? I don't have your magic."

Elsa put a hand on her chin, thinking, until she got an idea again. "I hope you can trust me with this, Brooklyn. I'll have to put in some of my magic through you to allow you to run with me." The gargoyle's ears flattened but this was his girlfriend. He took a breath, nodding. "Alright." He said shakily.

Brooklyn stood still, closing his eyes while Elsa put a hand on his chest, feeling something rushing through his body, slightly cold, but not freezing thankfully like before. He opened his eyes after she was done. "This should help us get across at least once," Elsa said to him gently, taking his hand. "Now let's go."

The couple both took a breath, starting to run across the surface. Brooklyn had braced himself for falling in but to his surprise; the spell worked. He looked down to see ice forming under his feet while running.

"This is crazy..." He muttered to himself, Elsa sending a wave of ice to cover a huge wave coming their way, managing to get over that one and onto a rock. Brooklyn slipped a little but used his talons to get a grip on the stone. The sea spray chilled him to the bone though Brooklyn did his best to ignore it. Elsa shot more magic down the rock back onto the water, her and Brooklyn sliding down and continuing to run as much as they can.

Looking up Brooklyn gasped in fear at the sight of a huge wave bigger than the last one. "E-Elsa? Giant wave!" He shouted. Elsa grunted when shooting more ice, the couple trying to run over it but the wave was bigger than they thought, breaking Elsa's ice bridge. Brooklyn gave out another shout, arm over his head, trying to reach for Elsa but too late as the water consumed him.

The water was so cold, Brooklyn giving out muffled grunts while trying to get back to the surface, eyes looking around for Elsa who had disappeared. Nearly losing his breath, Brooklyn pushed himself back up, head breaking the surface of the water, gasping aloud.

"ELSA! ELSA!" Screamed Brooklyn, writhing in the waves, not wanting to drown. In his ears, a loud winnie sounded. Looking about, Brooklyn wondered what the noise could be until a force hit him hard in the side, and began to push him back down into the water.

Brooklyn whimpered while struggling underneath whatever it was that made more winnie noises. Looking up the best he could, Brook's eyes popped at what he was seeing; the water spirit.

It was in the form of a horse, pushing his body further down into the water to drown him. Brooklyn grunted painfully, trying to get free but it was no use, vision slowly beginning to turn dim until a hand grabbed his own.
