Cold Against Dark (a Jelsa Fanfiction)

Chapter Eight

"Elsa," Jack tried to remain calm whilst speaking, "is fine."

His voice waivered slightly as he spoke - he was lying, and they all knew it. Elsa was straying from her story path and he didn't know how to stop it, but these were the Guardians, he certainly wasn't going to tell them he was failing.

Bunny just laughed at him, taking a step forward. "You're lying Jack. We know what's been going on"

Jack sighed in frustration, "You have no idea what's happening." He stepped away from Bunnymund, not wanting to get to close to any of them. Though he admired the mall, he was also very wary as to why he had been summoned at all.

"Jack Frost," North walked in a circle around him, "you, are on top of the naughty list."

Jack frowned but then grinned. Laughing slightly, he replied, "the top?" He was intrigued, why was he at the top?

"Oh yes... But we're wiping clean slate" he said, dusting the 'naughty' tattoo on one of his arms as if to get rid of all the bad things Jack had done in the past.

"Huh?" Why?

All of a sudden, he thought of Elsa, he had left on a bad note, after an argument. He swallowed down the lump in his throat - he felt guilty.

"Oh my gosh!" Tooth fluttered over to him, excited. She pushed his mouth open, babbling excitedly, pearly white just like they say, have you ever seen whiter teeth than this in all of your lif-"

"Tooth! Fingers out of mouth!" North warned her.

"Sorry, he's so," she stopped and cleared her throat, "his teeth are so beautiful" Tooth blushed and sank back to the rest of he Guardians and Jack winked at her, causing her cheeks to darken.

"Can we keep the flirting to a minimum please, we have a really actual problem on our hands." Bunny looked at Jack with a stern look.

Jack held his hands up defensively. "Hey, I can't help it if ladies like what they see," he chuckled gently and looked at Tooth with a wide, cheeky grin.

"Teeth"

Jack's grin dropped, a puzzled expression on his face. "What?"

"Teeth," she corrected him, "it's just your teeth that I like the look of." Tooth's cheeks seemed to blush even redder.

Speaking of teeth, she had just lied right through hers and Jack knew it.

Bunny coughed, breaking any moment that might have existed at that moment. "Ahem!" He cleared his throat, "actual, real problem!"

Jack nodded and turned his attention towards the other three Guardians, well, more to two of them because Sandy was still asleep.

"So, what is this actual problem?" Jack was starting to believe they'd brought him there for no reason because as of that moment, none of them had provided him with any answers

Bunny looked Jack dead in the eyes as he spoke, "Pitch wants Elsa, and he has a plan. We don't know what yet, but it's bad."

Meanwhile, in the castle, back in Arendelle, the plan Pitch was conducting was becoming clearer. He was already working on making sure the girl followed her path.

He had been watching Jack attempt to guide her away from her story and he had waited for a perfect time. With Jack running off and Elsa more alone than ever, he found his chance.

"He left you Elsa, everyone always leaves you."

"Expect you," she groaned and scowled at the dark figure.
