Chapter 4: Pitch Black
Elsa's POV
"Honey?" Jack stated as he was reading the newspaper.
"Yes dear?" I sat beside him.
"Um... Well, how should I even put it?"
"What is it?"
"Here, you read it." Jack handed me the newspaper and pointed to an article. I looked at it and began reading.
It said: College student freed from prison after 14 years
I continued to read, it was Pitch Black. It's already been 14 years since that day? Now Pitch has been released from jail. "It's horrible, isn't it?" Jack broke my concentration.
"Wait, wasn't it supposed to be 7 years?" I asked.
"It was 7 years, but he did something, I don't know what, that got him another 7 years in prison."
"Well... I thought we would never talk about him again." I turned to him.
"Fourteen years already went by so fast." Jack sighed. "He's out now, he's out of jail. Do you think he would still hold the hatred towards us?"
"14 years is quite a while, it's just a 50/50 chance he could have changed. Since he hated every single of us?" I guessed.
"So... What do we do?!" Jack looked back at the paper.
"I don't know. I mean like, what? Does he know where we live?" I questioned.
Jack was just about to speak when a loud voice came from outside. "Mummy! Aunty Anna's here to see you!" Eliza shouted from outside.
Me and Jack walked out to the gate. Anna and Kristoff was out there. "H-Have you seen this?!" Anna snatched the newspaper from Kristoff and showed it to me. It was the exact same article of Pitch that Jack showed me.
"Yes." I replied.
"That man is free now?!" Anna asked in disbelief.
"Apparently." Jack let out a sigh.
Punzie and Eugene walked towards us. "Oh hey, didn't expect you to be here, what's up?" Punzie asked.
"Where's Jessica and Jenna? We wanna bring them out for dinner later." Eugene stated.
"THIS!" Anna screamed at Punzie. "Do you not know the big news yet?!"
"What?" Punzie and Eugene asked in unison.
"Pitch Black is freed from prison." Kristoff replied and beckoned to the newspaper.
"WHAT?!" Punzie hurriedly took the newspaper and read it anxiously.
"We. Are. Doomed." Eugene said.
"Wait, something's not right." Punzie looked at it closely. "If my memory serves me right, I thought that guy got locked up for 7 years only?!"
"Wait a minute, you're right! He stayed in there twice as longer!" Eugene exclaimed.
"Oh, it says here that Pitch broke whatever rule that got him another 7 years in there." Punzie read out loud.
"We need to get Merida and Hiccup to know about this." Jack said.
"Call em'!" Anna snapped.
"I got this." Punzie fished out her phone.
"Wait, do we really need to be so worried?" Kristoff questioned.
"Duh, of course we have to!" Jack shouted. "He hated us so much, nearly killed all of us, kidnapped us, extracted-"
"That's enough." I placed my finger on Jack's lip. I didn't want to hear all the horrible things that criminal did.
"It was 14 years all right." Anna crossed her arms. "Without realising it, he's out and about now."
"What do you suggest?" I asked.
"There's no telling whether he is still evil." Eugene said.
Punzie placed back her phone and turned to us. "Hic and Mer got the news, they said they're coming over."
"Is it a must to worry?" Kristoff asked again.
"I doubt very much he would change all right!" Punzie said loudly. "He could be coming back with a vengeance or whatever!"
"But there's nothing we can do." I argued. "If he's out means he's out! Time has passed and we can't change what has happened."
"I think we need to be on our guard." Jack declared. "Grab your gear and keep it close to you."
"Yeah right, we don't have gear!" Anna crossed her arms.
"For those that have powers no gear!" Jack snapped. "What I mean is like Merida with her archery, Hiccup with his dragon, and you two get the frying pan or whatsoever!"
"Here." Eugene took the frying pan from Punzie.
"Someone get a shotgun." Kristoff joked.
"Yeah right, like it's legal to own one." Anna crossed her arms.
Hiccup and Merida came running to us. Merida snatched the paper from Punzie's hands and read it closely. Hiccup read it as well with great interest. Merida looked at me and slowly put the paper down. "It can't be..." Hiccup mumbled. "He's back?!"
"Pitch Black is free?!" Merida asked, surprised. "Oh and he got another 7 years in there?!"
"That makes a nice 14 years in prison." Hiccup giggled softly.
"So, what do you suggest?" Jack asked. "That guy is free now!"
"By any chance, would he have changed?" Hiccup asked.
"Nope!" Merida quickly answered. "No way for a guy like that."
"I second that." Anna raised a hand. "There is no way a ruthless murderer like that would change."
"I know it sounds impossible, but there's a small chance?" Kristoff asked.
"Small chance all right, like 0.00000000001%!" Punzie snapped. "And add a hundred more zeros, oh wait, a million!"
"There's noting we can do for goodness sake!" I repeated myself. "It has happened already!"
"Yeah, we need to prepare for any danger that could come!" Merida scoffed.
"Wait, wait, wait, let's keep our voices down a bit." Eugene whispered. "We don't want the kids to hear all this, right?"
"Yeah, yeah whatever." Jack sighed. "What do we wanna do then?"
"Let's just discuss this some other time." I crossed my arms.
