Rapunzel has helped me ribboned up my dress, i feel so nervous, i don't think i can hold in my powers for too long. shes now doing my hair in a tiara braid.
"Don't worry Elsa! you'll do fine!" she smiled and turned my chair to take a good look at me "you'll be great" she walked off and held out a box in front of me. she opened it and showed me the gloves Anna gave me "she told me to give these to you, i'm sure they'll help" i smiled and shove on the warm gloves
"Im ready" i made a fist and gave a confident smile
"Thats more like it!" she clapped her hands excitedly
"Rapunzel! we need you on set to help Jack's consume!" Mr.North shouted
"Yes sir! sorry..." she smiled and walked off. i sighed and looked at the mirror, Eugene appeared in it
"How you feeling?" he asked wearing his costume
"Nervous" i admit, he walked over and placed his hand on my shoulder
"Hey, remember, Jack will be there with you, you're only alone for a couple of acts"
"Yeah i know," i looked at my hands "i just don't want anything to go wrong..."
"Just think about what makes you happy! think about who you love and that should help" i looked at him surprise
"Think about who i love..?"
"Yeah! why not? you have many people to love! your family, your friends, Jack" i blinked
"Jack?"
"Sure, you seem the happiest when your with him" i smiled... i do feel happy when I'm with him but... do i love him? and if i did... does he love me back?

(A/N: i know this play isnt going to seem like one, but i tried! P.s i suck at writing songs so... i didn't do much)
The show was about to begin, everyone is walking to their seats and waiting for the play to start. Anna feels extremely nervous for everyone, but mainly Elsa.
"She'll be fine" Merida told her
"You'll see" Kristof said holding her hand. she nodded and waited for the certain to open
"Be careful..." She said to herself, she only wished Olaf was here, but he hasn't been back in months, he's making everyone worry. Her Aunt and Uncle made it to the play and sat behind her.
"Please everyone! take your seats, the play will began shortly" the announcer announced, everyone obeyed and sat quietly
Mr.North came out of the curtains and talked about the play and such. after he was done, the story began
"A very long time ago... a baby girl was born, she was loved by many in her kingdom. until a evil dark king came along..."
The baby girl was in her crib alone in her room sleeping, the dark king came over and looked down at the princess
"You have such a good life don't you small child?" Pitch grinned at the baby, "i'll make sure that wont happen again... on your 16th birthday, you shall reveal your inner monster and kill everyone in your path! You will also not be able to speak, this curse shall not be broken unless true love breaks in! but who would want to love a mute monster??!" he laughed loudly and raised his arms, the lights started to flicker and it went dark
"The king of darkness has cursed the young girl, and the surprise was... nobody knew about this...Years went by and Elizabeth grew up happy in her kingdom, she played and danced all the time, but was never to speak, today was her 16th birthday"
Elsa wore her frost blue dress consisting of a navy bodice laced in blue ribbon. she skipping around the kingdom passing by many of the servants and waving hello to them.
"Hello!" She mouth. she picked up a bouquet of flowers. Anna smiled. Elsa began to spin around in place. she dropped the flowers and held her head and the lights went out, she screamed
"Nightmares started to build up inside of her head, they started to hypnotize her mind..."
the lights went back on and her servants and even parents were on the floor dead. Elsa's eyes widened, she shook her head in disbelief, she began to cry and ran off, holding her neck
"She has no idea what she has done... She does not remember how any of this happened...she has no idea that she just screamed and made noise for the first time ,until the king of darkness came"
Pitch walked over to the stage smirking, Elsa furrowed her eyes confused
"My... my... if it isn't the princess?" He smirked. Elsa took a step back, Pitch was amused and was loving the play's script. he looked at the dead bodies "would you look at that? they're dead... have any clue who did this?" He poked on one of the bodies with his foot. Elsa stared cautiously waiting for an answer... he was such a good actor, even if he never came to rehearsals "you" he smirked. her eyes widened in disbelief. he walked closer and raised his hands in front of her, she was "controlled" to come closer, she struggled to get away, but he had her chin close to his face now "you did this princess... you're a monster, you killed all them remember?" he smirked, he took out some black dust and sprinkled it in her hair, she flinched and lunched back frightened
"He sprinkled his dark dust at her to make her remember"
"You did this Elizabeth! you and no one else! You are trapped with this curse i gave you! and only the act of true love can break it! but who's going to love a monster like you?" he laughed and walked closer, she cried and ran off. he faced the audience "she shall never find true love! never! and i'll make sure of that!" he laughed raising his arms and the lights went out.
The audience applauded, except for Kristof and Anna... they knew she was in a curse, they knew how Elsa might be feeling right now
"Jackson is a peasant boy, who had to support his mother and little sister"
Jack ran towards the stage full and happy wearing his peasant costume and a poncho. he helped out carrying a crate of apples.
"Hello!" he greeted at some towns people "its such a beautiful morning!" he cheered and dropped the apples, "oh! i'll get them!" he ran over to catch them but landed in piles of crates, the villagers and audience laughed. this wasn't part of the script "sorry about that!" he laughed, Elsa rolled her eyes at him amused
"Ive stayed and played in this town
My mood is up, nothing can bring me down
I work and pray and wake..." he ran over to the oven he's suppose to fix "what do i have to do to make this stupid bread bake!?" he shook the oven and there came out black dust. he brushed it off and everyone laughed. he ran throughout the village
"I run and hop all through the day...
But what about a descent pay?!" he threw his arms in the air frustrated and looked at his feet that exposed his toes "what do i have to do... to even get a descent pair of shoes!?" He complained
"I help out all evening... with nothing else to expect
Just have to pay the debt i have to collect..." he frowned and finished collecting the apples he dropped back into another crate. he walked to put it down and walked to the center of the stage
"Is there something out there for me?
Like a beautiful maiden... someone fair and tall and sweet?" he sighed "the sky has a full moon, i wonder if this will happen soon...ha! don't be such a baboon! theres no one out there who will love you... no one..." he frowned and walked off
"Jackson has been depressed that he cannot even find a girl to fall in love with, ever since his father died, he had to support his family...which mean he cant have a family of his own"
Jackson went back to his familys house and sat down on a chair exhasted
"Jackson! go chop up some fire wood!" his mother (Tooth) yelled from the kitchen, he sighed and left the house with a fake axe. he walked outside and laid on a tree on the edge of the woods
"maybe just acouple of minutes of sleep wont hurt..." he said to himself
"what Jackson hasnt noticed is that hes been asleep for hours" the spot light turned off Jack and onto Eugene in the middle of the stage, he had on a handsome smile and wore his man purse "the common thief has always been a man that steals good where ever he goes"
"so many food and so much space! cant let all these goods go to waste!" he ran into homes and stole goods, the maidens in the houses screamed "stealing and selling is what i do! help? what does it look like, i dont need no crew!" he gathered goods from many houses and put them in his man purse, "i have all the ladies screaming for me! seriously! just hear these screams" he laughed "but i want something shiny... oh look! theres a home thats so fair and tiny!" he runs over to Jacksons home and peaks out the window
"where is that baboon?! i asked him to get that fire wood hours ago!" Tooth complained
"maybe he fell asleep" his sister (Astrid) thought
"if he did... that boy has another thing coming! hes suppose to protect this home and us! and look! we are freezing our butts off!" Tooth complained
"the common thief had his eye on the mothers necklace, it shined bright in his eyes... and he has to have it!"
"i have to have that!" he whispered. he entered through the window and smirked at the girls, they screamed
"who are you?!" Tooth asked frightened and hugged to protect Astrid
"awe come on! im known to this town, surely you recognize me!" he laughed. Tooth focused her eyes and gasped
"your the common thief!"
"bingo! took you long enough!" he looked around the house "so wheres the man of the house?"
"he'll back soon! hes out getting wood! and when he gets here, you'll be sorry!" Astrid yelled
"oh? you mean that white haired fellow by the woods? yeah... i seen him work, hes not waking up anytime soon and you shouldnt have told me he was gone in the first place" he laughed and walked towards Tooth, who shivered in fear with Astrid
"I like that necklace you have there..." Eugene looked at the necklace, she held it in her hands
"No! my husband gave this to me!"
"Awe... to bad..." he removed her hand and snatched it off her neck, she gasped, he climbed out the window "bye-bye!" he grin and ran off to the woods.
Rapunzel thought if he ever talked to someone like that before, since he use to be a actual thief
"How dare he!" Tooth cried, Astrid comfort her "this is all Jacksons fault! he's suppose to be here!!" She cried
"We don't need him mother... we can take care of ourselves..." Astrid said
"You're right..." Tooth sighed. The spot light went off off them and too Eugene standing in front of Jack. Eugene poked on him with his leg
"Wake up" Eugene ordered. Jack mumbled awake and flinched
"Who are you?" he asked
"Are people this stupid?" Eugene rolled his eyes "don't worry about who i am, just worry about finding a new home" he laughed. Jack looked puzzled
"What are you talking about? and why is it so dark outside?"
"You've been asleep for hours you baboon!" he laughed "if i were you, i find a new home now" he showed Jack the necklace. he stood up on his feet
"Thats my mother's necklace!"
"Not anymore! you should've been there before this happened" he ran off off the stage, Jack ran after him
"Wait!" he slipped and groaned
He ran home without fire wood, he saw Tooth and Astrid crying sitting on chairs
"Mother... what happened?" he stared
"You! thats what happened!" Tooth stood up and threw a plastic plate angrily, making a broken plate sound effect
"What are you talking about!?" Jack furrowed his brows
"You weren't here to protect us!! Mothers necklace got stolen because you weren't here to protect us!" Astrid cried. Jack took a step back surprised
"Look! I'm sorry! i'll pay it off like i do with everything else around here!"
"Don't even bother!" Tooth cried
"What..?"
"Leave! we can take care of ourselves! We don't need a lazy clumsy boy to be the man of the house! And i doubt you can make a family of your own, your a mess!" she insulted
"Fine! l have it your way! Im leaving and watch, your going to want me back!" he ran out the door and to the area Eugene ran to "I'm going to find that thief and take back that necklace if it kills me..."
Jackson spend days in the forest just walking and looking for the thief, it was cold and he was starving
(Set change)
Jackson was walking and was hugging himself to keep him cold, he saw a grave yard near him and saw a gravedigger, he ran over
"Excuse me! you wouldn't happen to see a man with brown hair in a blue vest with boots?" he asked Santa, who wore heavy overalls with stained blood and had one eye closed, he glared at Jack
"Who wants to know!?" he growled, Jack flinched at his loud voice
"Uh... me... Jackson..."
"I have not seen a soul around here in 2 years!" He growled, Jack raised his hands
"Oh... um, do you know a place to rest my head? i haven't slept in days..." Santa fake spit near the graved and observed him by walking around him, Jack made a uncomfortable face
"Yeah i know, theres an abandoned castle over there a couple of miles up" i pointed at a random direction
"Thank you" jack bowed his head and turned, santa slammed his hand on his shoulders
"But beware! these dead bodies in this grave ah? they all came from that castle 2 years ago! i warn you, if you see something strange, get out now! it'll be your only hope!" Jack looked at him funny and walked away "theres great danger out there son! i recommend you not to go there! just keep walking! its better than being in there!" he yelled out
(Set change)
Jackson thought the old man was just crazy, what can be so bad about an abandoned castle? Its abandoned right? Or so he thinks
Jackson entered the castle amazed "whoa! This is the biggest place i ever seen!" he shouted. the spot light shined on Elsa standing behind a book shelf upstairs frightened. "is someone here?!" he yelled
"A stranger is here! what am i going to do?"
"Hello!! oh well... I guess I'm alone" he shrugged walking up the stairs. Elsa looked for a place to run, but she realized that she was trapped in a corner, she accidentally elbowed the shelf, Jack heard the noise "who's there?" He asked walking towards the sound. Elsa was trapped. he saw Elsa in the corner "oh! hey, do you live here?" he smiled
She ran off frightened "hey! wait!" he ran after her but fell on the floor, he was weak and coughing. Elsa looked at him and frowned
"I don't want him to die, he looks sick..." she sighed, walked towards him and squat to his height, he looked up at her.
"Wow... your really pretty..." he smiled weakly, Elsa blushed for real, this might be a play, but she cant help but blush in real life. She rolled her eyes and walked off "wait! where you going?" she lifted her pointing finger to tell him to wait.
Anna giggled at her red face, she knew it was real embarrassment
Elsa came back to the stage and handed Jack a bowl of fake fruit. he looked at her surprised. "oh? for me?" he grabbed the bowl, she gave no reaction and walked away "hey! wait!" he struggled to stand up but end up falling down the stairs...thats not in the script! Jack!! Everyone laughed
Elsa groaned silently and helped him up, he laughed awkwardly and rubbing the side of his neck "sorry... I'm really clumsy" Elsa never remembered him being this clumsy before... she rolled her eyes and picked up the fruit. he helped her and accidentally touched her hand, she flinched for real. the bowl was suppose to fall but he wasn't suppose to go down the stairs with it. Jack looked at her weird in real life "hey... are you okay?" he reached her touch her, but she ran off. "huh? whats wrong with her?" the lights went off and showed Elsa in her bed room, she was holding her head painfully
"No... not again... i don't want to kill anyone again..." She cried, the lights shut off and back on revealing her on the opposite side if the stage on her knees, her room was torn to pieces, she looked at her hands "its getting stronger..."
The curtains closed for a few minutes, "Elsa... are you okay?" Jack asked walking up to her
"Of course... the hand thing just kinda surprised me" she admit standing up
"Oh? well hurry up and change" he smiled, she nodded and left. the set was changed to back to the village . Elsa quickly changed and sighed
"Somethings not right..." she looked at her snow covered gloves
The certain was back open, Tooth and astrid were home looking through some papers "how are we going to do this!? woman cant get jobs!" Tooth panicked
"We can always make jewelry and stuff!" Astrid suggested
"No... we have to find Jackson, first thing in the morning, we'll leave town" Tooth said
"Morning had arrived and the two had left to the woods to find Jackson, they walked and walked but couldn't find him anywhere"
They heard a tree fall sound affect and jumped "what was that?!" Tooth asked, they heard giggling "show yourself!"
"My...my... what do we have here...?" Elsa entered the stage giggling, wearing a brown dress with tares on the bottom from the incident in her room
Tooth was to frightened to speak, she was still scared of Elsa "Who are you!?" Astrid said for her
"Me? it doesn't matter who i am... all that matters is if your going to see the light anytime soon..." she walked towards them and the lights shut off.
Anna and Kristof had an uneasy feeling, they couldn't tell if she was acting or serious.
The lights went back and the two girls were on the floor surrounded by fake blood, Anna and Kristof gasped. Elsa rubbed her eyes and gasped silently, she ran off the stage covering her 'tears' covered in blood on her dress. Pitch came to the stage smirking, then looked at the girls
"Pity... she killed that boys family, he will sure hate her when he finds out..." he laughed and walked away. Anna and Kristof sighed in relief. the curtains closed and the set changed to the castle again, Elsa ran across the stage, Jack saw her
"Oh! hey! i wanna talk to you!" he called, she ignored him and left to the other side of the stage... he frowned. He sat by the stairs
"He sat by the stairs waiting to see if he get to talk to the girl, only its been hours and he fell asleep"
Elsa came back with a different dress and squat down to Jacks height, she shook her head and poked on his cheek, he woke up and noticed her up close, he blushed for real, Elsa tilted her head confused.
"Hi!" he smiled, she only stared "I'm jackson... whats your name?" She stared, he blinked. everyone giggled "whats the matter? cant talk?" she shook her head "or you just don't want to?" she made annoyed face and flicked his nose "ow!" He rubbed his nose "awe come on, you can talk to me! i don't bite!" He laughed. she rolled her eyes and walked away, he followed behind, the set was moved and into a garden. she moved towards the flowers and smelled them. Jack watched her from behind "can you tell me your name?" he asked. she looked at him and sighed. she walked towards some other flowers and picked up a real strawberry "what are you-" she shoved the berry in his mouth and smiled. he ate his berry and smiled
"your names berry?" he smiled, she cocked her head. everyone giggled. she picked more berries and stuffed his mouth in fruit, he swallowed happily, she blinked and looked at another berry in her hands "oh sorry! i havent ate in weeks...im a peasant and we dont get to eat that often" he laughed, she frowned and looked at the berry again. she shoved it in his mouth and silently giggled "thanks... so can i at least guess your name?" she shrugged "okay um...you have a great posture and have beautiful hair..." he thought out loud, Elsa blushed, why did Mr.North write this play?
"does it start with a "A"?" he asked, she shook, and continued to do so until he reached "E" , "okay... it starts with a 'E' how about...Emma?" she shook "Ellen? Estella?" she stared at him stupidly while he named many names and not even getting close to her name, Elsa for real got annoyed and shoved a strawberry in his mouth, he blinked and swallowed, everyone laughed loudly "okay...let me think... you look like you can be a princess..." she bit her lips " Elizabeth?" she nodded then walked off
"oh? so your name is Elizabeth?" he smiled following her, she turned at him and giggled "pretty name but its kinda long..." she raised her brow "can i call you Ellie?" she shrugged "great! so..." she pulled on his ear and dragged him inside, where the set was coming back, she stopped pulling on his ear and pointed at a room "is this mine?" she nodded "gee thanks!" He cheered, she smiled warmly at him
She seems to like his company, but she knows she should stay her distance, she just killed two girls in the woods, she doesn't want to repeat that with the boy...
"Will i see you later?" he smiled, she gave him a stupid face and walked off rolling her eyes. "oh right! this is your house!" he laughed and entered his room
"What a baboon..." she smiled shyly.
The play took place mostly in the castle, some at the village were the villagers finds out that Tooth and Astrid are dead, they went after who ever did this. Jack has been warned by sprits and the ghost king singing, Jack didn't listen and has been trying get Elsa to talk by singing to her all the time, Elsa thought it was adorable, while Elizabeth thinks he's trying too hard.
"The couple has been weeks together, and nothing seems to happen. Elizabeth was relief, but she cant relax, not ever. Jackson on the other hand was falling for the girl deeply"
"Oh Ellie! Thou is as beautiful as the sun!" he says dramatically. Elsa gives him a funny look "what? too much?" he blinks
"You try too hard!" she mouth giggling. she gets a headache and groans
"Hey..." she lands on her knees in pain "hey!" he rush to her side and holds her hands, she snatched them away and runs off to her room, she falls on her knees "no! you don't have to run away Ellie!" He catches up to her, she raises her hands to stop him with complete fear in her eyes, Jack was amazed at the acting... or was it even acting. she really was getting a headache
"Just stay away from me! stay away!" she mouths, Jack flinched at her eye color, frost blue, he lands on his knees coming closer, not by the play, but him being caring
"Elsa..." he whispered, she stands up and runs off to her room, he quickly follows behind "come on Ellie! I'm really trying! why wont you open up to me!?" Elsa starts to cry real tears and looks at her hands... Why now? she thought she was over this emotional stuff... He falls on his knees in defeat "please Ellie... we've been together for weeks... you give me food and a place to sleep... i'll do anything for you..." he frowns for real "anything..." Elsa leans on the door and looks at the ceiling, she then cries on her knees. everyone in the audience starts to tear up. The curtain closes and reopens to the garden
Elizabeth has been avoiding Jackson for awhile the pass days, he's been seeing her in the garden for days. he thinks its for the best to give her her space, but he couldn't take it anymore.
The villagers were getting anxious to find the murder...
Elsa was in the garden, He turns her around and forced her to look at him, he was still shock to see her eyes remain the same glowing color.
"Ellie..." he holds her close, but Elsa was really afraid of what'll happen, her head was pounding "you don't have to run..." He gets on his knee and holds her hand. her eyes widens and tries to run away, but her hand was snatched
"I cant control the curse! theres too much fear! you're not safe here!" she cried out loud and gasped, holding her neck
"Ellie... you talked..." Jacks eyes widened, she smiled then it disappeared when Pitch came to the stage, she furrowed her eyes and hid Jack behind her, he made a confused face.
"Oh lookie here... the princess of this land can finally speak" Pitch didn't sound amused
"Princess?" jack questioned, Elsa turns to him
"Yes Jackson...i am a princess..." she looks at her hands and frowned
"She is also a monster," Pitch butts in, he glared at him, which only made him laugh "shes the monster that the villagers are after for killing your parents Jackson, remember Elizabeth? you killed a girl and a woman in the woods" he grinned, jack was taken back in fear. Elsa's eyes widened in shock
"H-his family...?" she stuttered, staring at Jacks face
"You? Killed my family Ellie?" he asked in disbelief
"She sure did young lad, i advice you now to run before she kills you too" Pitch laughed, Jack looked at Elsa
"You wouldn't..." he took a step back, she frowns
"I..." she looks at her hands and starts to cry "i cant control the curse" she sobs
"What curse??"
"The curse i gave her, to make her a monster that kills anything in her path... this is the curse i gave her when she hurt her family" he winks at jack giving the signal that he was telling the truth, jacks eyes widened and he took out his staff in full size, the audience was amazed, Elsa was just confused
"Thats how you cursed her!? to kill everything in her path!? you sick monster! burn from where you came from!" he shouted, Pitch laughed
"Yes, i have... i made her hurt her little sister and i was the one that hypnotized Duce to kill her parents" he smirked, Elsa's eyes wide
"What?! you did this?! you monster!" she glared at him stepping in front of Jack "why would you do that?! i didn't even know you back then!"
Anna furrowed her eyes confused and stood up slowly, she and Kristof walked to the back of the stage without getting noticed
Pitch laughed at Elsa "its what i live for sweet heart, i live to kill and live to die! its my motto" he shrugs, she growls and makes a sword made out of ice
"Elsa don't!" Jack begged, Pitch looks at her eyes
"What a beautiful shade of aqua" she points out. she ignores his comment and froze the stage floor and everything around them, from back stage to the audience. which now they were stuck in their seats horrified. jack slipped but Pitch remained in place smirking. "i have a little surprise for you Elizabeth" he choice to use her real name instead of 'Elsa', which made her even more mad. He made black dust appear from his hand
Jack runs in front of Elsa "don't you dare use your nightmares to hurt her!" He glared, he tilted his head amused
"No? okay" he made the dust travel to the audience and made them fall in sleep
"Noo!! Sandy!!" Jack calls, Sandy comes from the back of the stage tiredly "seriously..?" Sandy's eyes noticed Pitch and flinched "he's giving people nightmares! go and change it!" he nods and makes light appear from his hands and shines it at the audience
"Oh? Sandy Slumber? you dare to interfere with my plan?" Sandy glares and stands in front of the couple "what are you going to do? make me dream about ponies? ha!" black sand starts to surround the 3 "now as i was saying, Elsa, i wanted to show you a surprise" he shot black dust at the ground and makes a big bubble. It exploded and revealed a knocked out Olaf
"Uncle Olaf!" Elsa begins to run but Jack stopped her
"No Elsa! if you touch the dust, you'll get nightmares!" he warned, she frowns and looks back at Olaf. Pitch laughs
"Pathetic! come on Elsa, show me what your made of, show jack what a true monster you are!" the dust starts to get closer, Sandy shines it away with his powers "hmm... maybe this will make you snap" he snaps him fingers unamused and makes two more bubbles, Elsa's eyes widened after the pop
"Mama! papa!" she cries and runs through the dust that was farther away from the three
"Elsa! no!!" she holts and holds her head in pain, she falls on her knees and continues to squeeze her head, she starts to scream
"Revenge..." A voice calls out to her, she flinched and looks up at Pitch's smirk "he gave you the curse... revenge..." the voice said, she glares and her eyes start to turn turquoise.
"Ah... so it was you that did this to me huh?" she smirks at Pitch, he's face softens and takes a step back, it starts to snow around her "you gave me this curse and then you made me think my parents were died for years?" she laughs amused, for once, Pitch starts to feel scared, which made jack confused, this wasn't what Pitch expected. he gasped wide eyed
Elsa gathers all the storm together grinning and prepares to shoot it at Pitch, she throws the storm towards him, but he falls forward with a thick sharp vine attached to his back, the ice went forward and attacked Anna in the heart, Elsa blinks back to her original color and realize what she have done
"Anna!"
