This time the Big Eight must stand against all their fears...
The area covered in snow. My body for some reason shivers against the spiking wind. I look down at my body to see it covered in a strange outfit

My body starts to settle against the wind. I reach the castle that I spotted. "She has returned!" A voice echoes. My lip quivers to the amount of cold exerting over my entire body. Examining the castle closely I notice it's Arendelle castle. The doors open but to my surprise Jack exits dressed in a suit. Fit for a king. He embraces me in a hug while wrapping my warm blanket around me.
Everything about this feels strange. As if it's not real. An ice crown is settled on Jack head. He leads me into the warmth of the castle. Maids and butler's rushing around upon my return. "Elsa why did you wonder off without me?" His voice shivered down my spine. "I-I don't know"responding to him. Honestly I don't remember how I landed up on the mountain. My eyes suddenly fluttered open and I was on the mountain.
My body for some reason felt utterly cold. The maids rush to dress me in warm clothing. I thank them but they don't respond. My mind feels lost. My memory feels forgotten and a feeling unspeakable rises in my chest. "Hey love"Jack kisses my cheek and seats himself beside me. I arch a brow since he never called me love but rather snowflake. Specks of memory are left in my head but not much.
He seats himself beside me by the fire. "Elsa you wondering. Why?" I don't know. Just this does not feel right. As if I'm battling against myself"
"Nonsense! You here with me and that feels right. Correct?"
I agree but also disagree. It seems strange that he is king. He leans a littlecloser and presses his lips against mine. "Elsa" I turn around to be faced with an empty hallway. I look back and immediately gasp. Jack no longer sitting infront of me. "Pitch?" I ask simce his features are so different.
His complexion now an olive skin and green eyes. His hair spiked backwards. "I see you have lost"he states and stands up. Words are unable to escape my lips. He offers hand and hesitantly I take it. "Pitch?" I ask again unsure how to respond to his features and where am I.
"I don't understand. We we-"You in your mind Elsa. A shadow has taken control of your body. "He says and I follow beside him. "Wait does that me-"Yes. I'm the real General Pitch. Former General"he sadly adds. I turn him gently and placing my hands on his cheeks. My thumb rubbing across his skin. "You are real. "He holds my hand and smiles. "You don't know how long I have craved to see a human again"
I walk beside him and we instantly in a frosted forest. Much like the one in Arendelle. "How long have you been trapped in your mind?" I ask. "For as long as I can remember. My only wish is to return to my body and see my daughter but she is possibly dead by now. "
"She's not. Emily Jane Pitchnier is alive"I state.
His eyes dart towards mine and immediately stops when he hears her name. "How do you know this?" You say I'm trapped in my mind. Before I was I fought with her. "
Pitch hugs me and gestures for me to follow him. " I'm trapped in my mind. How are you here?" I'm able to connect with a pure mind. Shadows shoving us into a fantasy world so we can never leave and they can permanently take hold of our bodies. "
We seat ourselves by the frosted lake. "What are shadows?" I ask. He index and forefinger start to shape a circle by the snow that fell onto the frosted lake. "Creatures of the night who try to find a host body so they can live in day as well. Spreading fear for pure enjoyment. They shift our minds into a fantasy land and intend to keep us in it. "
"You know Emily is fighting to save you. "
"She can't. The shadow permanently locked me out but Elsa you can still break free. "
"She created a cure for you. "
His eyes brighten and he helps me to my feet. "Elsa you hurting your friends. I can see it. Especially Jack. Including Winter who is now forced into battle. Elsa you need to break free from this world"he holds my shoulders.
"But here I can-"Do many things but save your family. Elsa I've been trapped in my mind and took weak to fight back for my body and daughter. You can still make it Elsa"
I breath in and step back a little. I know his right and I turn my eyes to the circle he drew. It shows what my body is doing. Or rather yet the shadow. Striking ice at the guardians and the rest. "How can I get out of here?" I turn to Pitch.
"You need all your memories. Think about what you treasure. Try and overtake that shadow within its mind. Fight back. Once you out the shadow will part from your body"Pitch instructs.
"Thank you Pitch"I hug him and step back a little. "Say hey to Emily for me" I will"I smile back at him. He vanishes and leaves me alone.
I calm myself and take in sharp breathes. My mind starting to remember.
