Heart, Soul, and Mind

When Will You Learn?

Elsa's P.O.V.

I lightly knocked on Estefania's door. When I didn't hear an answer, I stepped in. The experience in her room wasn't very pleasant. She had whipped up a blizzard and out was out of control. On top of that, she wasn't in her room. It was freezing in the room and I couldn't bear it. My lips turned purple, my teeth wouldn't stop chattering, and my body shivered tremendously. I couldn't stop any of these from happening. I rubbed my arms hoping that the cold would go away. But it didn't, unfortunately. I moved into her room a little further trying to look for her when a dark shadow sauntered across the walls of the room and calm laughter suddenly emited. "It's nice to see you again, Queen Elsa," a voice said. I immediately retaliated.

"Where did you take my daughter?" I asked furiously. I was sick and tired of him playing tricks on me and my family. I needed an answer. But all I got in return was a chuckle.

"When will you learn?" he asked; again with those mind games. I was still shivering tremendously and the room wasn't getting any warmer. If anything, it was getting colder.

"What do you want from me?" I asked him. Was it really this obvious and I still didn't know? I just wanted Estefania back at home and safe. I didn't want any of this to be happening. I would do anything to get my daughter out of the mess she was in.

"All of this time and you still don't know? Isn't it obvious?" he teased. I felt helpless, almost weak. Me trying to fight the freeze; the thing that I love most is now my worst nightmare and enemy. When Pitch saw this, he went into full mock mode. "Are you cold?" he asked mockingly. All I do is keep trembling and shivering, only this time it's of fear. "Or is it because you're afraid?"

"Why would I be scared of you?" I tried covering up the fear.

"If you're not afraid, then come closer and you'll never be cold again. Just join me." I felt a dark blanket cover my back and it gave me warmth and a bit of happiness. I pulled the blanket closer to my body to keep it from falling and rubbed my arms to keep them warm with the blanket. I exhaled deep and felt much warmer and much better.

"Thank you," I said while wrapping myself in the blanket.

"Anything for the queen."
