Chapter 23

Jack

Pitch opens up the portal but Emily tries to stop. Pitch clicks his tongue and uses his sand to shove Emily back. We all quickly follow him into the portal. Trying to stop him from escaping. We all are quickly dragged in. Elsa shoots her ice at Pitch. North still fighting off a few shadow horses. Instantly I know we in the modern city.

Elsa and I raise an ice wall and block off Pitch path. "You know this is really starting to irritate me"Pitch states and raises his hands. A flood of shadow horses soon surround us. Binding together and wrapping us with their bodies. I try to hold back a few. I notice Winter followed us through the portal. The sand wraps around her as well.

Merida and Flynn snicker as they walk pass. She grips my cheeks and gives a broad smile. "You little wife and daughter are about to go bye bye now". She loosens her grip and laughs. Sandy and Rupunzel still fighting. Elsa battling Pitch. My body is hit back down by a show horse.

The pain starting exert over my entire body. I cough and a blue liquid exits my lips and spills on the tar road. "Jack!" Emily runs towards my direction and bends on her knees. I quickly create a shield around us. Preventing any further attacks from the shadow horses. Her thumbs slid over my cheeks. Her eyes start to glow a mixture of colours. Probably because of the elements she wields.

"Jack can you possibly obtain the shield any longer?" I can try"I answer. Her eyes start to glow a yellow. Emily hands release a burst f energy throughout me. My body feeling a new sensation of strength. "I can't hold everyone at the same time. Some civilians are indanger. Shadow horses leaving the battle. "I melt the shield and freeze the horses surrounding us.

My eyes dart towards the shadow horses sneaking off. I look towards Rupunzel and gesture for her to help me stop the horses. She nods and starts running. Using her sand to create a cloud. "What is it you need my assistance with?" The shadow horses are reaching civilians. Pitch is becoming stronger. We need to protect the children"She nods and we part ways.

Instantly I hear a scream echoe into the street. The shadow horses rummaging through the streets into the dreams of children. Swiftly I dart into a child room. Wrestlingto freeze the horse. "Jack Frost?" I turn my gaze towards the child. Her almond eyes staring at me with wonder. I freeze the horse and stand up. "Hey kiddo go back to sleep. Everything is okay. I'm checking on the children of the world"I try to convince her.

"Jack I'm scared"

I bite my lip. The exact words my sister said. "Don't worry we going to have fun. Why don't we play a game?" Yay!" She cheers. "Let's close our eyes and see who falls asleep first. No talking though. Or peaking". The girl eagerly nods and close her eyes. Gently blowing a snowflake onto her nose. She instantly falls asleep.

Swiftly darting of the girl room i try to create as many snowflakes so that it can orotect the children. Rupunzel levitates with her cloud. Gold patterns exiting her hands and spreads throughout the town. I fly around reaching the places she cannot reach or can't notice. "I don't think so" I hear a voice. My eyes turn back to view Rupunzel. Pitch grasps onto her neck and throws her body. "Rupunzel!"

I dart to catch her body form hitting the ground since she has lost her focus. Catching her few feet from the tar road. She clutches her stomach. Tears threatening to spill since I see her eyes become slightly glossy. Rupunzel is auickly ripped from my arms and tangled between the dark sand.

I try to receive the incoming sand but Pitch quickly grasps my staff. The sand engulfing my body. He chuckled and leads us towards the others. Who are batten and bruised. Merida and Flynn wrap in Pitch sand as well. Allowing a chuckle to escape his lips.

Elsa looks tired. Her body covered in light bruises with a scratch on her bottom lip. Her braid completely messy and ammunition is low. Only three arrows left and one is being held between her fingers and bow. The string pulled back along with the arrow. Her eye us slightky bruised and shut. Parts of her battle gear is ripped and filled with deep wounds.

"Do you not see how thus affecting everyone else Elsa? Your ridiculed actions causing more harm than it should. "

I look back Winter. Her eyes shut and slightly bruised. Small scratches plastered over her small face. Immediately my anger rises to Pitch hurting my daughter. The sabd crushes my body even more. I wince in pain. "Let them go Pitch! Or else..."

Pitch chuckles again and laughs slightly harder at Elsa warning. "Elsa what more can you do? The only way to save your daughter and the rest of your remaining family is to agree to my deal"

I try to scream but my voice can't exit. The pain starting to consume my body. Elsa face softens. "And why would I do that? That is selfish! Saving my own but risking the world!"

"Now if you don't accept I will them and who will you be left with?"

Elsa sights in defeat. She drops her weapons and removes her cloak. Everyone screams are softened and turned to murmurs rather. She steps closer to Pitch and extends her hand towards him. A broad smile plaster against his lips. "I-I accept". I try shifting my body to escape. Pitch smiles and shakes her hand. The sand immediately starts to surround her body.

Her wings turning a full black colour and a set of purple eyes stare at me. Platinum blonde now black strands. Her outfit changing dark.

"Elsa no!"
