A Cold Love (a Jelsa fanfic)

Chapter 17

                    Jack's P.o.V

We fly to the forest where Pitch's lair is.  It takes a while but we make it there.  We land on the ground and I stop the wind.

"What do we do there, mate?" he asks quietly.

"I say we drop in and take care of Pitch, then handle Elsa." I say.  Tooth and Bunny nod.  We jump in the hole and fall down into Pitch's lair.  We land and get up immediately.  Pitch and Elsa stand there.  Elsa's dress is black and her hair is a darker shade.  That's when I notice, she has a black eye, there's a red mark on her cheek and is leaning on Pitch for support.

"You get your hands off her!" I yell shooting ice at him.  He and Elsa get out of the way in time.  Elsa's eyes are wide, she looks terrified.  "What did you do to her!?" I yell.

"What did HE do?" Elsa asks, "Like you don't know what you did."

"What's she talkin' about mate?" Bunny asks behind me.

"I don't know okay!  She never told me what I did!  All she did was yell at me!" I exclaim.  

"You know very well what you did." she says coldly.

"Well would you like to tell everyone including me!?  I think we'd all like to know!" I say.  She looks past me to Bunny and Tooth.

"He did this to me." she says pointing at her cheek. "He also did this." she points to her black eye.

"What?" I breathe and step back.

"Jack." Tooth says in horror.

"I didn't do it!  I swear!  I wouldn't do that to her!  She means too much to me." I say defensively.  Elsa's hair turns an even darker color.  It's almost black.  She takes a step back and falls to a crouching position.

"What's going on here?" Bunny asks.  Elsa stands back up, but slowly.

It clicks,"Elsa, did you shake Pitch's hand?" I ask her.  She doesn't answer.  I step closer.  "Tell me," I say darker than I intended.  She tenses up and backs away from me.

"Why yes, she did." Pitch says darkly.

"Elsa, I told you not to do that!  You're turning dark." I say to her.  I see her start to shake and shrink away from me.

"I-I-I..." she stutters.  Her hair turns completely black.  She collapses on her knees.  Pitch laughs darkly.

"Oh the fear, it only makes the transformation faster.  And now it's done." he says.

"No." I breathe.

"Oh, yes." Pitch says.  Elsa slowly stands up, her eyes now golden like Pitch.  He puts a hand on her shoulder, she flinches but hides it.

"Look at what the power of a greatly trained nightmare can do." he chuckles. "Oh how proud I am of them." he says.

"Wh-What?" Elsa says looking up at him.

"Oh, dear Elsa.  Do you really believe the Guardian of Fun would abuse someone?  Not to mention the very one he loves most."

Elsa looks at me,"Jack..but.."

"It's all okay now.  Nightmares will come, but you are with me now.  I control you." Pitch says.

"No.. No!" I yell.

Pitch chuckles,"Yes, Jack.  She's mine now."

"Wait," Elsa says. "If Jack never hurt me, who did?"

"Who else!?" Pitch exclaims. I feel my stomach drop.  He did this to her.  He hurt my girlfriend.  He will pay.

I let the anger fill me up.  I put my staff in front of me and let it out.  A giant icy explosion comes out the end of my staff.  Pitch drags Elsa into the shadows.

"Jack!" she screams.

"Elsa! No!" I yell.  Pitch drags her through the shadows and out of the lair.  I breathe heavily in shock.  I look to the ground.  "We have to get her." I say.

"Jack, Pitch could be anywhere by now." Tooth says to me.

"She's right, mate.  It's useless to search, you never know where the sadows'll carry ya." Bunny says.

"Well we at least need to tell the others about this." I say.

"Alright, mate.  My way this time." Bunny says.  He taps the ground twice with his foot and we fall.  We slide down the tunnel and come out in Arendelle.  I lead the way to the palace.  We walk in the gates and see North's sleigh out front.  We go inside and I look around, I don't know where they would be.  I head to Anna's room, she may still be in there.

I was right,  Anna is still in Kristoff's arm.  North is standing there with Sandy.  I knock on the door and everyone looks at me.  I walk over to Anna and Kristoff.

"Believe in Santa and the Sandman and the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny.  You'll see." I whisper to them.  Anna looks up and gasps.  Kristoff looks around, his eyes a little wider than usual.  

"Let me tell you what happened." I say.  "Elsa turned dark.  She's now Pitch's."

"No." Anna gasps.

"Sadly, yes.  He hit her with his most powerful and influential nightmares.  That's where she got the ideas that you two we're tormenting her.  Probably calling her a monster.  She also thought I..."

"You what?" Anna asks quietly.

"She thought I... abused her." I say quietly, looking down.  Anna gasps.

"That's why she was yelling, she was scared of me." I tell them. "I think she probably turned us all to ice.  She shook Pitch's hand and he turned her dark.  I don't know how we'll change her back, but we will."

"Well what are we waiting for!?  My sister's in danger and we need to get her back!" Anna exclaims standing up.

"Anna, Pitch took her somewhere.  We don't know where.  They could be anywhere." I tell her.

"Well I know a place to start." she says.  I look up at her.  She smiles encouragingly.

I nod, "Let's get her back."

Author's Note:

Hi there!  I won't be updating a lot because of after school activities but I will update as much as I can.  I hope you like it, it's really coming along.  I have a deep meaning behind Elsa saying 'hurt' and not 'abused'.  Tell me your thoughts on it if you feel like it.  Read/Write on! <3
