Long Live

Chapter 27

Hey, guys! Hope you enjoy this chapter and happy reading!

"Elsa? Elsa, are you awake?"

Elsa's eyes fluttered open, revealing her warm, crystal blue eyes. She saw Jack and Hiccup hovering above her, worriedly looking down at her.

"Jack? Hiccup?" Elsa said, slowly sitting up. She rubbed her head. "What happened?"

"There's not much time to explain. All you need to know is that the Black Dragon encases its victims into an eternal nightmare, with the victims having no chance of waking up," Jack said.

"What?" Elsa said. "But how did you-"

"I was able to save Hiccup and you so far from your nightmares by going into you dreams," Jack interrupted.

She sat up straighter, looking around frantically. "But where's Anna, Jack? Were you able to save her?"

Jack held his hands up, trying to calm her down. "Elsa, I've only saved Hiccup and you so far. I still need to save the others, including Anna.

"There's no more time to be talking now. I need to go save the others," When he saw Elsa's frightened face, he added, "Starting with Anna."

"I'm coming with you," Elsa said.

"Elsa, no," Jack said. "I need you to stay with Hiccup to keep an eye on the Black Dragon. So far, it seems that only I can go into the others' dreams. Having two or more people might set off something dangerous. I don't want anything to happen to any of you."

Elsa nodded reluctantly. "Alright," she said.

"Good," Jack said. He nodded to Hiccup and he placed a tender kiss on Elsa's cheek.

"Be safe," Elsa whispered.

Jack smiled. "I will."

 

"Hello? Is anyone here? Hello?"

Jack spotted Anna going through a snowy forest, tired and cold.

"Please. If someone's out there, I need an answer," Anna said, shivering. She turned around and gasped. "Jack? How did you get here?"

Jack plastered on an innocent smile. "I just...walked I guess."

Smooth, Frost. he scolded in his mind. Way to not act suspicious at all.

Anna looked at him peculiarly. Then to Jack's surprise, she started laughing.

"Hey, what's so funny?" Jack scowled, his cheeks burning.

Anna wiped some tears away. "Sorry, Jack. It's just that your face was priceless."

Jack scowled harder but inside, he felt a glowing hope.

Maybe her nightmare won't be so bad. Jack thought. If only I knew what her fear was though....

"So, what brings you here?" Jack asked, changing the subject.

"Oh I was just heading back to the castle," Anna said.

"Castle?" Jack echoed.

Anna rolled her eyes. "Duh, Jack. I'm a princess."

"Oh," was all Jack said.

She's a princess in her dream? Jack thought. Anna, you've got some imagination going on.

"Someone was supposed to be waiting for me a few miles back but I guess they either forgot or-" Anna stopped herself, eyes cast downward.
