Winters Revenge

Chapter Twelve-Empty.

Elsa had finally made it through the hallways as Jack still continues to lead the way and once, they'd reached a place Elsa recognised from earlier, she was pleased that they had allowed her to stay in a room she wasn't sure how much longer she could have borne the other room being tied up. Jack swiped the key card letting the door open to a sudden clank of the magnet doing its work, he couldn't help but feel guilty for the fact he had to leave her alone after what had happened in Nicks office where something had clearly set her off to panic. His mind had raced with a million thoughts which didn't sit well on his stomach, he knew there was something she wasn't saying and for a good reason. They all knew that the nightmares that Pitch had recruited were taking illegal drugs and apparently using them on something which they hadn't clarified yet. He Knew Grace and Teddy had gone straight way after helping them to collect Elsa on a mission since they'd collected intel on a case of the nightmares, Nick had been reluctant at first considering Grace wasn't normally on the field. Since she worked with the scientific part in the lab, she wanted to check out what it was so they could learn the qualities and if people were in danger. They were still waiting on a call to tell them what was going on but hadn't heard anything of late, with it getting on in time they decided to send out more Agents and bring them back in case they were in trouble. Jack watched as Elsa stepped inside the room turning back around to face him as she looked to the floor unable to say a word since there small talk earlier on.

Jack "Look, we don't normally do this when we have newcomers, but I want to give you my room number. Just in case if you have any problems, you know where to find me." He said rubbing the back of his neck while his faced tried not to blush at her.

Jack handed her a small card with his room number on it, he gently gave it to her as she took it with no expression on her face.

Elsa "Thanks." She replied.

Jack "Anyways I'll check in on you tomorrow morning." He said turning away.

Elsa turned to face the room closing the door as she looked around and placed a hand on her stomach. The truth was she wasn't feeling great at all, ever since earlier she couldn't shake the feeling of something wasn't quite right with herself. She could feel her body beginning to shake as she tried to calm herself down, her hands were sweating and suddenly she ran to the bathroom her stomach being emptied as she hunched over the toilet bowl. The taste of acid burned her throat as she tired to ignore the feeling but, the more she did the more kept pushing out. Her mind was dizzy at her thoughts unable to grasp if what was happening was real or a dream? She looked up from the bowl as her mind span with the uncontrollable dizziness and the pounding in her head made unbearably hard to concentrate as she tried to focus on one thing to ease herself. It wasn't until the door went that she realised someone waiting outside for her to open the door, all she wanted was to be left alone and to maybe escape this place she didn't know why but she had to get back to the Black corporation whether she liked it or not.

She dizzily found herself to her feet as she quickly ran towards the door her mind spinning as she placed her hands onto the side of her head shaking her head as she tried to focus but it wasn't working. She angered to stumble across the room and open the door with a groan and to her surprised there stood the white hair that she'd just said goodbye too.

Elsa "Jack?" She said barely making out who it was with her blurred vision.

Jack "Hey, sorry I forgot to give you your key card." He scratched the back of his neck in nervousness.

Elsa "Oh thanks..." she said going silent.

Jack handed her the key as her trembling hands met his taking the key card from his fingertips as another figure came into view.

"Sorry is this a bad time?" The voice asked.

Jack turned around to face the voice while Elsa stared directly at the person feeling the anger rising through her body, she went to jump forward to grab her but, her body was stuck on one spot unable to move a muscle. Jack however was still in shock from when he'd gotten back to the door seeing Elsa's pale white face as he could tell she wasn't feeling great. He was worried in case if he left her with Grace something might go down with them but as he saw her stay in one spot, he noticed her glazed eyes starting back at him as she turned back to face him.

Jack "No you can stay; I'm sure Elsa here will behave herself."

Elsa "what are you doing here? Haven't you caused enough damage already?" She snapped.

Grace "Look I know I'm the last person you want to see but I have to tell you something that we found when we were on a mission".

Elsa "I really don't want to talk to you" she fought back the sickness that churned in her stomach.

Jack "Go ahead say it." He says.

Grace "I know you've been asked questions already and I'm pretty you would have answered them but..." she trails off getting interrupted.

Jack "She didn't answer a lot of them Grace." He confessed.

Grace "Wait so you haven't told them what happened this morning?" She said worriedly.

Jack "What happened this morning?" He asked curiously.

Elsa "Nothing happened that's what happened." She snapped again.

Grace "Elsa that's not what it looked like to me, you looked uncomfortable."

Jack "Why what was going on?"

Grace "She was in Pitch's office, and it didn't look like you wanted to do what he was doing to you".

Elsa "I don't know what your talking about." She said feeling the sick rise in her throat.

Grace "Yes you d- "before she could finish her sentence Elsa ran into the room and towards the bathroom where she threw up again her stomach churning.

Grace and Jack looked at each other worriedly as they stepped into the room where they looked around the room to find Elsa and as they approached the bathroom, they found Elsa hunched over the toilet seat throwing up.

Grace "Elsa even your body is trying to tell you that something wrong."

Jack "Elsa are you okay?" He asked sweetly and concerned.

Elsa nodded she didn't really know what to say this moment maybe something was going on that she couldn't understand with the way she'd been trained.

Elsa "W-what was it that you wanted to tell me?" She asked feeling groggy and unwell as she sat on the floor with her hand on her stomach feeling it still churning.

Grace "That we found out Pitch is using a lethal drug on people to train them." She said sadly.

Elsa "Why are you telling me this for?"

Grace "Elsa? Has Pitch ever used anything on you?"

Elsa "I ...I don't know..."

Grace "Come on you can tell us." She tried to push her slightly.

Elsa "I-I can't remember."

Grace "surely you can remember whether or not he took you to somewhere Private to maybe ask if he could inject you with something?"

Elsa "Well I don't okay!" She started to shake.

Grace "I'm only asking because we discovered something apparently when someone is injected with it that person becomes infected it changes how they behave, they turn emotionless, and they only care about what happens to the person they work for."

Jack "Emotionless? Grace, she doesn't seem to care about anything but working for him."

Elsa "I'm sat right here." She snaps.

Jack "I have a point though, Elsa you don't seem to show any emotion at all apart from the fact you had a panic attack."

Grace "Wait? You had a panic attack? What set that off?" she asks in a state of shock.

Jack "I don't know she wouldn't say anything." He shook his head sitting on the floor properly as he crossed his legs.

Grace "You've got to open up at some point Elsa even if you have been injected with that stuff. Its not good letting it build up for this long." She confesses.

Elsa "I don't want to!" she says getting up from the spot she sat, her knees buckle from weakness in her body.

She walks across the room and out of the bathroom, she dizzily stumbles where a small sofa and stools fit in the corner of the room. As she feels the soft smooth material on her fingertips, she stumbled on her feet, she felt her body go weak again as everything went black......
