NCIS: Arendale

Chapter 18

*Elsas POV*

Eventually, I passed out from exhaustion. The only water I've gotten was when I first got here. Pitch has beaten me, Scar has, and Gaston and...

I start to cry thinking about it. Even crying takes a lot of energy. This is all too much for me. I may have been moved again. But at this point, it doesn't even matter anymore.

Jack, oh please find me..I cry more. "Please Jack....I love you..." I whisper to myself. My voice is dry and cracked.

It pains me to listen to my own voice. Finally I open my eyes and look around. I'm outside, in a forest. The stars above me sparkling. Like hope in the sky.

Is Jack looking at the stars too? God I hope he is. It would help me feel closer to him. I try and sit up, of course I find that I'm chained to the ground. Like a wild animal.

At least now I know how to get out of these. The chains are old and rusty. Apparently no one cared to look to see if they were new.

I hit my wrists against the ground repeatedly. A twig snaps, my head whips to the side. "Now stop that before you break them."

"That's the idea." I tell Pitch, and continue hitting them against the ground. He lunges for me. I lean back as much as I can to get out of his reach. Pitch stumbles, but since I can't run away, he grabs a hold of my dress.

And lifts me as high as my restraints will let me. "I told you to stop." He growls at me.

"You also said that I wasn't queen in there...you forgot about outside." I whisper the last sentence. His face contort's in anger. He throws me to the ground.

I land with an incredible amount of force. My head bounces against the ground. The pain is almost unbearable. "I brought you out here, for the Prince. He didn't want to talk to you in there."

I don't have the energy to answer him. I roll over on the ground. This could be a good thing. Finally getting some answers from the man who caused my parents to die.

Everything, points to Hans now. "You remember what Ursula said, all those weeks ago. About opening up a can of worms..she wasn't wrong."

I don't know what he means. So, I let him keep talking to explain. "All those people who have gotten a crack at you, including me. They're all involved."

"Why wait so long to punish me? Cause I'm just that terrible of a person." I say with as much emphasis, on each word, as possible. Pitch laughs.

"All in good time. You'll get all the answers you desire. Patience is a virtue."

"A quality you don't have unfortunately." Pitch just takes a deep breath after rolling his eyes. Trying to keep his temper under control. I go back to my plan and try to escape.

"Prince Hans will be here in a moment. Be a good girl and stay put."

"I'm not a dog." I snap at him. Pitch hums and turns to walk away. Leaving me alone, my only light from the stars. Which isn't very much.

I pull against my chains on the right side. It hurts like hell, but I see the Earth coming up from where it's nailed into the ground. The hope that I could get free, increases my strength and energy.

Adrainlen runs through me, it's coming up more and more. I smile with hope. After a couple of more pulls, it comes up out of the ground. I almost fall backwards from the force it gave off.

I spin my wrist around, the cuff is still on. But now I can get it off easier. I stand on the chain, and pull. The pain is almost too much. It's only when I hear mumbling and leaves crunching, when I stop.
