Jack Was Here

Chapter 12 : The Dream

Jack

I was laughing as I threw a snowball at Elsa, she seemed shocked that I actually hit her which made me smile.

She started to form her next shot in her hands and I ducked for cover behind a piece of furniture.

" You're gonna get it! " she exclaimed, laughing.

I waited for her to throw, but she never did, I slowly peeked over the edge, I heard a thump and looked fully around the corner.

" Elsa? " I asked as I ran to her side, she was unconscious and lying on the ground.

I shook her by the shoulders and turned her to her side.

" Elsa? " I said again, becoming more worried. She didn't move, I put my pointer and middle finger on her neck to check for a pulse.

I let out a huge sigh of relief when I felt a steady heart beat.

What could have caused this? She's not actually sick...... Pitch, he must have done something to her when she had her "check-up".

I lightly shook her again, hoping she would come to her senses, but she didn't.

I have never felt so useless in my life, not being able to get anyone to help.

I put an arm under her back and my other under her knees and lifted her off the ground, I carried her to her bed and put her down.

I just have to wait until she wakes up.

I heard a knock on the door, " Elsa? Can I come in? I have to ask you a question, " Anna said.

I grabbed Elsa's hand, so Anna wouldn't see her and think her "condition" is getting worse. Which was probably Pitch's plan.

Anna didn't wait for a reply, instead she slowly opened the door and peeked inside, " Elsa? " she asked.

" That's weird, where could she be? " Anna said to herself.

She left the room and I went back to being worried about Elsa. I don't know what Pitch could have given her, or what it could do to her.

" Jack? " I heard a quiet voice say.

" Elsa! Are you okay? " I asked.

She struggled to keep her eyelids open, " Yeah, I'm fine, " she said placing her other hand on top of mine.

I smiled at her and she tried to return it, " Listen Elsa, there is something you should know, Dr. Black isn't a real doctor, he's an imposter, " I said hoping she would believe me.

" What? I always thought he was creepy, but why is he here then? " she asked.

" Well, that's what I don't know, " I said, " But his real name is Pitch Black and you shouldn't trust him. "

" Pitch Black? " she asked, looking confused, " That sounds so familiar, " she said.

I didn't say anything, but I let her try and figure out where she heard his name before.

" My dream... " she said slowly, " My dream, he was there, he called himself Pitch, but it doesn't make sense, " Elsa said, scratching her head in confusion.

" Your dream? " I asked.

She nodded, " When I blacked out I had a dream. "

Elsa

I closed my eyes remembering what had happened.

I stood in a room alone it was dark and I could barely see my hands in front of me. I walked a couple steps forward, being careful not to bump into anything, when I heard a laugh from behind me. 

I turned around to see Dr. Black, who I now know as Pitch Black, he was laughing some sort of sick evil laugh. It bounced off the walls around me becoming louder and louder.

For some odd reason I started walking towards him unable to stop my feet. My brain tried to tell my feet no, but they didn't listen, they continued to move forward. 

Then his eyes landed on me, " Elsa! How nice of you to come! " he called out. I felt two hands grab my arms that started bringing me forward. 

I tried to break free, but they were too strong, as we got closer lights turned on to the side of me. I looked and saw people trapped in cells, wait, no they are not people they're mythical creatures, the ones I read about in the book. 

I saw Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and many others, they were all chained to the walls of their cell and looked like they were slowly dying. 

As we got to the front the last person I saw in the cell was Jack, "Jack! " I called out to him, but he didn't even move. 

I was pushed onto the stairs in front of where Pitch was standing, " Elsa, I have to thank you, none of this could have been possible without you, " he said, but I didn't look at him, " You know it's rude not to look at someone when they are speaking to you, " he snapped his fingers and my head was thrust up by the people that brought me to him. 

Then I saw what was behind him, " Anna! " I screamed and tried to move, but was unable to. Anna's lifeless body lied on the floor behind him and then noticed that five other bodies were behind him also, but I couldn't see who they were. 

I started crying and Pitch smiled at me, " Everything that happened is your fault, " he said.

" No, I didn't do anything, " I said, shaking my head, this couldn't possibly be my fault.

He snickered, " Oh, but you did, " he sneered at me, pointing to his right. 

I looked and noticed off in the corner on a stand was the book that my Father had told me to keep safe, I had failed him, I had failed everyone.
