Fear will be your enemy [Jelsa]

Chapter 13: In order to stand up, you need to know what falling down feels like.

Triss held on to her sibling as the sudden swarm of Fearlings nearly knocked her away. "Jack!" The huntress sighed relieved when she felt her brother's strong hands pull her against his chest.

"Its okay, I'm here!" screamed Jack as they tried to make out where the others were. "Where is Elsa?" The Guardian narrowed his eyes to see clearer, but it was no use: the darkness that surrounded them, blocked out all the light in the cave. The Guardian concentrated on his staff, and it began to glow icy blue. It seemed to help a little bit...

"Anna!" screamed Triss as she used her powers arround her and her brother to keep the Fearlings at bay. "Anna, Rapunzel?!" Nothing... The huntress looked from her left to her right and a chill went through her body when she saw the Southern King jump towards her! She raised her hand to fend him off, when Jack blasted the man out of balance.

"You really think that thing is going to hurt me, boy?" snarled the King as he swung the Scythe to the two siblings. "You need to do better then that!" the Scythe missed, but the force behind it was so large, it caused the ground the crack upon impact. The King snarled at his failure to kill Autumn, and swung again.

Triss, who had anticipated the heaviness of the weapon, hadn't caculated the strength of their opponent. So, it was with great shock that she saw how the King picked the Scythe up as if it was nothing! Before she could even raise her hands, the King swung already the weapon, that would cleave her in half...

"Watch out!" Jack pushed Triss out of the Scythe's deadly circle, straight into the swarm of Fearlings. The young guardian of Fun quickly raised his staff, and the two weapons collided in black-blue magic. Despite his age, the Southern King still held his body at its peak and the guardian stumbled backwards from the pressure that the King put on him.

"Jack!" Triss couldn't help him; she had already so much difficulty to defend herself against those Fearlings. One miscalculation, and they would kill her on the spot... "Someone help him!" screamed the huntress as she blasted another Fearling away. It was blasted against his other fellows, knocking them out in the process.

TSK! Jack could barely hold the next blow from the Traitor-King; Only a few inches were seperated from the sharp edge, and his arm! He could barely think about it, as the King attacked again: This time, the guardian wasn't so lucky and he flew backwards from the harsh swing.

The King raised his Scythe to make an end to the young guardian's life, when a sudden wisp of golden sand wrapped itself arround the King's wrist. "What?" sputtered the man. Before he could react, the old man was thrown against the wall of the cave.

Jack looked astonished to the little sandman. "I said it once before, and I say it again... I hope I never get on your bad side." The two guardians looked back to the King who had quickly regained conciousness. Along with Sandy, the other guardians had found Jack as well.

"it seems, I'm getting a challenge" grinned the King as he swirled his scythe in front of the Big Five. "I've always liked Challenges...Who's first?"

The guardians all ran towards the King simultaniously.

"Watch out!" Eugene pulled his wife out of one of the Fearlings 'reach just in time and held a terrified Rapunzel in his arms. "You're okay, blondie?"

"Yes..." Rapunzel willed her heartbeat down, and her hands began to heat up. "Eugene..." Rapunzel looked worried to her husband who had nothing to defend himself with.

"Don't worry about me blondie" screamed Eugene as he took out his frying pan. "Just help the others already!" and the former thief nodded to the other Seasons, as well as the Guardians who had began to fight back. They soon dissappeared from their sight as the Fearlings began to spread inside the cave, making it impossible to see anything. Rapunzel hesitated and the thief yelled again. "Just go! I'll be fine!" It seemed to convince the summer princess and she searched the others.
