Jack's POV

"Jack, wake up." A voice, so gentle, called out for me. I opened my eyes and all I saw was nothingness. It was dark and it was cold. I was so scared. The only source of light was the flickering light of the bulb.

I sat up, taking support from my elbows and looked around. I was in some kind of room, obviously not mine. I'm laying on a bed, which was the only thing that's inside the creepy room. "Hello?" I gulped and stood up. There I saw was a figure in the far corner of the room. I squinted my eyes and walked very slowly towards the figure that's back was facing me.

I stretched my arms out to her and in just a blink of an eye, she was gone. I gasped and searched for the woman. She was nowhere to be found.

"Elsa?" My voice echoed around the room. "Hailey?" No response. Then I saw a pathway, a dark and foggy one. It looked like a narrow hallway leading to only one direction. I went to it and followed the path. Along the way, I noticed a lamp. I picked it up and turned it on, still in good condition. I continued my stroll and ended up standing into plain nothingness. Literally, nothingness.

The place felt chilly which caused my breath to steam. I walked through the dark and cold place, not minding the surroundings. I need to find my family.

Just then, a voice echoed through the place.

"Now you're outside. Let my voice be your guide. Keep a steady stride. Into the Further you go."

That voice. It sounded like... Like Elsa's! "Elsaaa!" I yelled and started running around the place, searching for her. That was until I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw a red door. It had a light bulb on top of it, making it the only source of light in the whole place.

Just as I was about to open it, a monster with ripped jaw appeared infront of me. He was tall and mascular with grey skin and long hair. He was sort of in his human form but he looked hideous. He hissed and opened his mouth, leaving only his gross teeth and showing his long disgusting tongue. He attacked me and I tried to fight back.

He was quite strong and I don't know if I could still handle him. "Jack! Follow my voice," I heard that voice again, this time it was a bit louder. "Follow my voice, Jack." It said again.

I struggled from the monster's tight grip and did a sharp uppercut and a 45 kick. He fell down, unconcious on the floor. I siged in relief and jogged towards to where the voice was coming from.

Unfortunately, his tight grip made me lose my balance and trip on my own feet. I dragged myself, holding my bruised neck. That was until I felt two pairs of hands, hard as rock, grabbing my waist and dragging me back into the darkness.

To be continued...

Elsa's POV

"Mom, where's dad's toolbox?" Hailey yelled from another room. I, on the other hand, am cleaning the living room. For some reason Jack hasn't woken up yet. Usually he wakes up earlier than any of us.

I finished sweeping the couch. "I don't know hun. Ask your dad," I exhaled and wiped my sweat off my forehead. I felt something soft against my skin. I glanced down and saw my cat. His collar had a tiny little yellow bell hanging on it, and on top of it was his name; Olaf. He's a white Scottish fold Munchkin with an orange spot in the middle of his nose, somehow we thought of it as his birthmark. He was purring, which only meant by him, wanting a hug.

I lifted him up and rubbed his fur while kissing his cheeks. I chuckled when he licked my fingers.

That was until I heard an ear piercing scream. "Moooommyyyyyyy!!!" Hailey. My head jolted up and I put Olaf down and sprinted up the stairs to where Hailey was, his father's room.

I hit some of Olaf's toys on the way, I even tripped on one and hurt my knee but I didn't care. I bursted on Jack's door and screamed at the sight.

Jack was on his bed, sweating heavily. His nose and mouth bleeding with his neck badly bruised. He was gagging and choking himself, while his other hand was grasping onto the bed sheets tightly as if his life depended on it. Hailey was there, hyperventilating and panicking while trying to remove his hand from his neck. She was crying nonstop.

"Jack!" I cried and helped my daughter. Everything went by in a blur. Jack eventually stopped choking and yelling our names. But instead, he layed there down, frozen. His eyes wide open, his mouth forming an 'O' with his hand still on his neck, loose.

I gulped and choked on my tears. Hailey immediately called for help.

Soon enough, the ambulance came so as the cops. The rescue team had placed Jack on a stretcher, wearing an E-collar. Hailey was being comforted by a young cop. She was wearing a blanket around her while she talks to the young man.

While I, on the other hand, was lost in thought. "Ms. Arendelle?" A voice called out to me. Only to realize it was the cop who's interviewing me of what happened.

"Y-yes?" I felt embarrassed for zoning out for the third time. It's just that, how could this happen to Jack? He never had any kind of disease that'll cause him to hurt himself.

She smiled to me and repeated her question. "Did you see anything suspicious while he was strangling himslef?" She sounded focused yet concerned. Her eyes full of seriousness and curiosity.

"W-well, he h-had a bad br-bruise on his n-neck. He was b-bleeding," my voice cracked as I remembered the awful sight. She nodded and closed her notepad.

"Thank you, Ms. Arendelle-" I cut her off. "It's Frost. Mrs. Frost. I'm engaged." She sighed and nodded, leaving me there with other nurses, treating my wound.
