We Are Forever

Chapter 20

I paced back and forth in front of my bed. Jack and I came home probably an hour ago and I've been doing this since. I'm not exactly calm if you can't tell.

I mean, Chase did try to help. The minute I stepped through the door, he took me in for a hug. It helped a lot.

Until Jack yanked me out of his arms and dragged me to my room.

I'm surprised Chase believed me when I told him my powers were just going haywire.

Anyways when we got into the room, I immediately went panic mode, forgetting about Jack and Chase and focusing on figuring out a plan. I couldn't just wing it like I sort of did for Tanessa. Dealing with Hiccup was going to take an intelligent and well thought out plan.

In other words, we're doomed.

Jack wasn't being of much help either. He just sat on the edge of my bed, watching me pace and occasionally reaching around in his back pocket.

"Hiccup has to be defeated," I stated, walking towards him. Jack looked up, his hands in his pockets. "It's the only way."

"You can't do that Elsa." Jack whispered. I rolled my eyes, crossing my arms in front of my chest. This whole time Jack hasn't done anything to help me come up with something, yet the one idea I have he declines it?

"Why not." My voice was sharp and to the point. Jack pulled whatever he had been fiddling with out of his pockets. My eyes widened to the size of saucers upon seeing the things I had once treasured so long ago.

"My memory book pictures...?" I trailed off, holding the photos in my hand. I remember when Jack was ripping these out of my memory book. There were some from me and Hiccup when we were much younger- even some that were taken weeks before he died.

"If any good spirit does something bad- especially the chosen one," Jack began cautiously, scared that he would make me snap. "They lose their powers and they fade away. Forever."

I looked over the pictures in my hands a few more times. Was this his way of changing my mind? Does he thing that something so little will make me change a decision so big?

Ha.

I looked at Jack with my eyes half shut, showing off how emotionless I was at this point. For the extra effect, I did something he would have never expected.

I held the papers in front of me, and I ripped them.

To the smallest of pieces. I dropped each corner of the photos to the ground as I detached them, making it almost impossible to put them back together.

I raised my eyebrows challengingly at Jack as he looked at me, absolutely flabbergasted. The exact reaction I was looking for.

"I don't care what Hiccup and I had anymore." I slowly walked backwards towards the door. "I have way too many people I care about now. I'm not going to sit around and be hung up over one guy."

I spun around and held the doorknob between my fingers. Without a second thought I yanked the door open.

Did I know exactly what I was going to do or where I was going to go? No. But what I did know was that Hiccup wasn't about to win this fight.

I was less than a step away from victory when I saw a block of ice appear in front of me. It blocked the doorway, trapping me inside.

I slightly turned my head to glare at Jack who's hand was still raised from the magic he had just done.

"You're not going anywhere," Jack finaled, going back to sit on my bed. "Today will not be the day that I lose you. In fact, that day will never exist."
