Chapter 26: Shadow Man

After awhile of searching, we finally made it to the show and was brought in for free because Eugene's parents helped pay for this place

The hypnotist, he was a very scary looking man with dark skin and a thin body... I believe his name was called Dr. Facilier.

We sat in the front row. he had ask Eugene to help him on his act. we saw him doing some magic tricks with his shadow... shadow... oh no! Thats the shadow man!

"Eugene! We have to go!" I loud whispered. He just stared at Dr.Facilier. i looked at my friends and they did the same, everyone in the audience did. i was the only one moving

I looked at the stage and saw the shadow wiggling his fingers to the audience. Dr.Facilier took out a weird necklace and sunk something purple from everyone... what do i do!?

I looked behind me and saw that girl i bumped into and her sister next to what I'm guessing is her parents

'You'll be her guardian' Mama Odie's voice echoed in my head. i looked around and found some long stick with a G on the top and ran towards to grab it

I had a strange feeling in my fingers once i held it. i looked up at Dr.Facilier and grabbed the necklace from him

"Hey brat! Give it back!" He ordered. i held it with my hands and smashed it on the floor. the purple ghost went back into the people, even the girl...

"No! This was my second chance and this happens?!" Dr.Facilier shouted at me "you! You're going to pay!" He reached for me, but i panicked and knocked him out with the stick. his body started to leave into thin air while strange things were happening. i was frozen

After awhile, everyone started moving and the stick in my hands started to disappear. i looked up and saw Eugene about to fall, i caught him and saw that his eyes werent their usual brown, they were a lavender...

"Eugene!" I shook him to snap out of it. he pushed me out the way, grabbed the pieces of the necklace that i broke and ran out. "No! Eugene!" I ran after him and pass up the girl hugging her sister. we made eye contact for a moment before i exit the building and searched for Eugene all around

My friends ran after me "Jack! Wheres Eugene??" Merida cried "im scared... if only i knew we were going to see the shadow man..." she cupped her eyes. Hiccup hugged her

"We'll find him" i told them and started looking for him. we ran everywhere until we found him near some fireworks around alot of people..

"Eugene!" We ran towards him. he had a match in his fingers and lit up many fireworks without even touching them. it was like... magic

Loud sounds went off so loudly that i thought my ears were going to explode... me and my friends ducked and covered Eugene while the fireworks went wild.

When the sound fated, we stood up and saw nearly everyone on the ground, not moving. my eyes widened in terror... Eugene started giggling and lifted up the necklace i thought i destroyed. he's still hypnotized...

"Eugene" i cried "stop..." he didn't stop, purple ghost started going into the necklace. Something in the sky dropped on my hand, it was wet... and ice cold... so cold that i couldn't stand it... it burned... But soon enough, the inside of my body felt warm. the cool air around me wasn't even cold like it was earlier, i didn't even need this jacket anymore. the cold didn't bother me

Nearly all the ghost were in the necklace. i glared and held the hand that was holding it and saw his hand turning light blue. i was so angry that i really wanted to destroy the thing that was hurting my Bestfriend.

It wasn't long before i noticed the blue thing was ice... why is this? Eugene lunged back and released the necklace. i still had it in my hands and froze it until it turned into nothing

The ghost went up into the sky instead of the bodies. i dropped on my knees tiredly and looked at them all

"They're dead... they're dead!" Eugene cried, his eyes were back to normal, but watery just like Merida's and Hiccups. i stared at the dead bodies and started to cry... i wasn't fast enough...

I turned around and couldn't find my friends anywhere. i searched all around for them and found myself in a mirror house. i stood in front of a regular mirror and saw my reflection changing. My reflection was smiling, it had white hair and blue eyes... was that suppose to be me?

"Congratulations Jack" he smiled. did he just talk? But my mouth didn't move! "You're first act of braveness, I'm impressed" i looked at him confused "the moon have given you just a drop of your gift, you used it up when you destroyed that weapon... but some of that drop is still within you"

"W-what you mean..?" He smiled

"The cold will no longer bother you... your body will feel no coolness"

"It... wont?" He shook his head and showed me the stick i used earlier "thats..!"

"The staff you used to defeat that devil... it shows up when you face your fear..." he looked down and closed his eyes "your princess will be waiting 2 years from now... The moon will give you your full power once she wishes for you..." he held his heart "you've been through allot young guardian... Not only did you save your friends and only about a handful of people, you protected your princess today... good job" i started to cry

"But i couldn't help people!" He shook his head and touched the mirror

"You won't remember this... hold my hand and all this will be a mystery" i touched his hand without a second thought and blocked out "You wont remember this day..." was the last thing i heard. i had woken up in my room with no memory of yesterday...

I faced Anna, Punzie, and Kristof looking at me in shock. i looked at my hands and wondered how i remember all this... White haired me showed up and talked to me before i even had my powers...

That moment when i used my powers enough to destroy the stupid necklace... i cant believe i actually did that... and knew Elsa before she shut herself out... her hands were ice cold when we touched.

She was a princess who wished for me... and thats when the moon finally gave me my full power... but one thing i don't understand about is the staff... white haired me said that day was my first act of braveness.. thats why i was able to hold the staff... was something suppose to happen when i hold it?

"That happened..? You knew us before the.. moon? Gave you your powers?" Anna asked. i nodded and looked down

"I'm a guardian to the ice queen... i was born to do this" i put my hands into fist "i'll protect my princess and make her into a queen..." they smiled and nodded at me.

White haired me showed up in front of me with the staff "good, you're finally becoming the guardian you were meant to be..." he offered his hand "lets get back together" i nodded with a smile and reached for his hand

"I don't think so!" I heard my voice say behind me. i turned around and saw myself with black eyes and black hair, scowling at me "you will not take your powers back!" He made a fire ball in his hands "i wont let you!" He threw it towards us. i gripped on the staff that appeared in my hands and shot ice out of it... such force!

The ice destroyed the fireball. dark me scowled then started laughing "just because you have you're powers back doesn't mean I'm leaving. you're still scared Jack, I'm not leaving" he shook his head "not when i have Eugene in the palms of my hands taking care of Elsa"

"What have you done to them!?" Punzie shouted

"Shut up blondie!" He shouted. she took a step back "what can you and your friends do? You heal with your hair that gain its powers from the sun, you're nothing without it!" He looked at Anna "and you? Your sister is locked away where you'll never find her, and no, you cant talk to her heart because that was only once, she can't help you!" Anna started crying, i pointed my staff at him

"You jerk! Tell me where she is!" I demanded. he showed up in my face and held my cheeks, i froze

"See? You're scared... Some things never change.." he laughed and disappeared. i dropped on my knees and shed tears... I'm still scared... No, i cant be scared, i have to find Elsa...

"We have to look for them!" Punzie cried. i stood up and faced my friends

"No, i'm looking for her"

"But-" Anna said

"I already missed alot of days, i made up last weeks missing assignments already. i can miss another week. plus, its spring break next week, i got enough time... but im going to try to find her and Eugene before that" i looked at Punzie "Okay?" She sobbed and hugged me

"Be careful... bring them both back..." i nodded and looked at my staff, theres something about it...

"Jack..?" Anna called and opened her phone to a picture. i gasped and put it in my hands to look at it more closely.

"Is this... Elsa..?" Anna nodded "with... me?"

"Your dark side, actually..."

"Why does she look like that..? Her hair is short... and" i looked closer at the phone, it was too dark to see much "whats that on her skin?" Punzie and Anna looked at each other. i gave Anna back her phone "never mind, i'll go"
I raced home to speak with Tiana first
