My Snow Angel: A Jack Frost love story

Chapter 23: Hope

Jack Frost's Pov

We all climbed aboard North's sleigh and prepared for a bumpy ride as his powers continue to weaken. We had to get to Jaime and the kids, they were the key to saving her. I knew the sleigh with the reindeer was going at its top speed but to me it was as though we were standing still. In my mind nothing could get us to them fast enough.

Then out of nowhere the sleigh was struck, Nightmares were leading an attack against us. Despite my weakness I used my ice powers without mercy and Sandy used his sand whip as well while Tooth helped guard North as he drove and bunny couldn't help because of his tiny stature.

I prepared for the next onslaught of nightmares when I saw a set of gleaming eyes watching from inside the swirling nightmare storm.

Jack Frost: Pitch Black! Show yourself you coward! Come face me and pay for what you have done!

Bunnymund: Mate don't do this, we are too weak as we are. We have to get to the kids.

Toothiana: Bunny is right Jack, fighting him like this is suicide. We have to get out of here.

Jack Frost: How can you say that after what he has done!? He needs to pay!

Already I could feel my ice creeping over the sleigh as I lost control of my emotions.

North: He will Jack, but not like this. Not at the expense of yourself. If you try this then you'll end up like...

Pitch Black let loose a hideous laugh that sounded like a creaking door hinge.

Pitch black: Like Amorette? Poor little Jack Frost, couldn't even protect her. It's his fault that she is my prisoner.

Bunnymund: Shut your mouth ya ugly shadow!

Jack Frost: Prisoner!? What do you mean by prisoner? She left with you freely!

Pitch Black: Oh if only that were true, but I'm afraid she's a work in progress. Unfortunately Amorette is still in there and she has begun resisting her darkness. Such a shame because Desdemona has so much potential, but I'm breaking her will slowly and when I do she will make a lovely queen.

With that he disappeared into thin air.

Jack Frost: Come back! Wait! Did you hear him!? She's still in there! We can save her after all! Let's go now!

Toothiana: Jack we don't know where they are, let alone if he was telling the truth.

Bunny: Yeah and didn't he call her his future queen? No way he will let us get close.

Sandman: Symbols

North: Sandy is right. It's best if we get the kids first and then confront them.

Jack Frost:..... Fine, but there is hope right?

North: There is always hope.

No one's POV

Pitch reappeared before Desdemona with a smirk on his face and a gleeful tone.

Pitch: They believed me my dear. You should have seen the look on their faces. They are up to something though, so we should expect a fight.

Desdemona looked up from her bow as she finished restringing it and her half wicked face held the same smirk on it.

Desdemona: It won't be much of a fight once I show up. I'll play my part and when their backs are turned... *she lets loose an arrow which hits the center of a target* I'll make them all my pawns.

Pitch: I can't wait to see the hope leave their eyes as it is replaced by fear and betrayal.
