Elsa pov

I slowly opened my eyes, groggily taking in my surroundings. I was tied up, my wrists and ankles bound by thick ropes. I was seated on a cold, hard floor, and behind me, I could sense Jack's presence, also tied up. The room was dimly lit, with only a faint light coming from a lone bulb hanging from the ceiling.

Suddenly, a voice echoed through the room, sending shivers down my spine. 'Nice to meet you, Elsa.' A figure emerged from the shadows, his smile twisted and sinister. My heart skipped a beat as I saw Anna, Lucy, and Jack's mother tied up against the wall, their eyes wide with fear.

The man stepped closer, his eyes gleaming with malice. 'It's been a long time since I've seen you again, Elsa.' My mind raced as I tried to place the voice, the face... And then it hit me. It was Hans, my uncle.

Fury coursed through my veins as I remembered the pain he had caused my family. 'What do you want from me?' I spat, trying to hide the tremble in my voice. 'Are you satisfied with what you've done to my family?'

Hans chuckled, his eyes glinting with evil. 'Oh, I'm just getting started, Elsa. You know, I've been waiting for this moment for a long time.'

I seethed, my anger boiling over. 'You know what you did to my family? Because of you, my parents drifted apart. They were happy, and you ruined everything!'

Hans shrugged, his smile growing wider. 'Oh well, that's sad, but it's not my problem. And it looks like you're all alone now, with no one to help you. Nobody will hear your screams, Elsa.'

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. I knew I had to think clearly if I was going to get out of this alive.

That's when Hans pulled out an air pistol from his bag. My heart stopped as he pointed it at Anna. 'No, please don't!' I screamed, my mind racing. 'Kill me instead!'

But Hans was relentless. He shifted his aim to Jack, and I felt my world spinning out of control. 'You have two people who love you, Elsa. But you can only save one. Your sister or your boyfriend. Choose.'

I felt like I was drowning, trapped in a nightmare from which I couldn't awaken. I couldn't lose either Anna or Jack. They were both precious to me, and I couldn't bear the thought of losing either of them.

Just as I was about to make a desperate plea, a familiar voice cut through the tension. 'Hey, Hans, what's so early?'
