Lost and Found

Chapter 17: Healing

Jack and I bust through the kitchen doors to see an unconscious Elsa.

Anna swears. "Well, wake her up! She can't fall asleep!" she mists to Elsa's side and starts shaking her.

Kristoff grabs Anna and pulls her away. "Stop! You're only going to hurt her more!"

"Good! Then the pain should wake her up! She could die if she stays asleep!"

Kristoff sighs. "I know but we should take advantage of the situation. We need to take out the harpoons."

Anna nods "You're right. I'm sorry." she bites her lip and looks at me.

"Hiccup, go get a sharp knife and Jack, go get some disinfectant and cloths." she orders.

Jack and I run to do so and when we come back they have Elsa's arms spread out wide and she's tied to the table legs by her ankles and wrists.

Jack almost drops the disinfectant. "What the hell?" his voice wavers.

Anna and Kristoff take the knife, cloths, and disinfectant from us before they move to either side of her.

Anna looks up as Kristoff starts sawing off the hook ends of the harpoons. They clatter to the ground.

"You may want to leave. This probably won't be easy for you. Either of you." she says.

I shake my head. "No. I'm staying."

"Me too." says Jack. He pulls up a chair directly in front of Elsa and sits. He grabs her limp, tied up hand and holds it.

Kristoff looks up at me with pain written all over his face. "You may want to cover your ears."

Then he rips out what's left if the harpoon.

Elsa wakes up and throws her head back with an ear piercing scream. Her wings flap uselessly.

Jack blinks back tears from his eyes and kisses her hand as she tries to escape the rope.

"It's okay. We're making everything better." he whispers.

"No! Stop it-!" she screams again when they grab her wing, hold it down, pour the disinfectant over a cloth and hold it to the now gaping wound.

Elsa flails furiously and tears stream down her face.

Then a sinister laughter fills the room.

"How are you enjoying your pain, little Ellie?"

Elsa roars, face red with pain and fury. "Get the hell out of my head!"

"I could. But I won't. I'm only here to make this worse for you."

The cloth is ripped off of Elsa's wing and a shadowy figure takes form beside her.

I rush to her but it sends me flying into the wall and sticks me there.

Elsa states at the shadowy figure with horror. It lifts up a hand and forms a fist.

"GET AWAY FROM HER." I roar, struggling to move.

"Hiccup?" Anna lets go of the last harpoon and gets up. "What's happening?"

I struggle against the wall. "Elsa. Get it away from Elsa." Anna looks over to Elsa.

"Jack, the cloth fell off. Put it back on please?"

I shake my head with frustration. "Forget the cloth! Get that thing away from my sister!"

Jack looks away as he tries to put the cloth back on but it flies to the ground. Jack narrows his eyes in confusion. "What the hell?" he tries to pick it up but it won't move.
