12 The Nightmares
POV Elsa
“Jackie, come to your senses. Listen to your mum for once. Please!” I pet my son’s cheek as he lays on the ground, bleeding to death. Jackie shakes his head, “S-sorry, I think that I won’t see the next day.” I am sobbing and I try to get the bleeding to stop.
“S-stop it mum. There is n-nothing you can d-do,” Jackie whispers and smiles widely. “I am s-sorry for w-what I s-said,” tears ran on his cheeks and he coughs. Some blood is now even on his cheeks. He coughed out some blood again. I am panting. “Don’t panic mum,” Jackie chuckled.
My powers are returning to me finally. The room starts to freeze and my body glows in the shade of ice blue. “I will get you out,” I whisper to Jackie just before he faints. My heart is aching when I use my powers to hit on the wall constantly. Normal hits won’t work.
I fell to my knees and I stare at the obstacle that makes it sure that we won’t get out. Maybe a duo? I touch the wall and it freezes solid, it shimmers in nightmarish way when the black surface is covered with beautiful frost. Then I created ice spikes that I pushed through. The wall shatters in front of me. I glance over my shoulder and I see Jackie still breathing. How do I get him out from here?
Someone is walking at the corridors or most likely running. It is a man who runs here. “Oh god! We need a wall!” He is breathing shallow and I look at him in misbelieve. “Oh hello Guardian of Caring, pleased to meet you. Mind freezing the wall back?” He smiled to me nervously. “W-why?” I exhaled.
“Well. Your daughter is sort of going berserk and I am running away. Name is Jonathan by the way,” he said while pointing outside. A girl was approaching us, some black vines were running on the wall beside of her, slowly lurking their way towards us. Her skin was almost grayish, her hair was black as well as her eyes. “Is that E-Emma?” I gasped and my body started to shiver.
Jonathan nodded, “Yea. Pitch turned her heart black and cold.” I try to hold my tears while I watch at Emma who’s grin is evil and she isn’t her normal self. “Emma, please,” I try to reach out for her but Jonathan pulls me back just before a vine wraps around me. “She isn’t Emma anymore!” Jonathan exhales as he pulls me back.
“No! Emma!” I scream but then I fall down with Jonathan, we tripped on a vine that had made its way behind of us. Now I see where the vine was going at. My heart skipped beats when the vine was wrapping around of Jackie. Jackie made a muffled sound when the vine tightened around him.
Emma started to speak, “Happiness, take happiness away. Death is what they deserve.” Her voice was hallow and cold. My hand goes over my mouth, I feel sick to my stomach. My kids are gone, why wasn’t I a good mother to them? “Take a unworthy life away, clear the world from filth,” Emma laughs and waves her hand, the vine starts to strangle Jackie who is coughing. “No!” I scream and ran to Emma, I embrace her. “Please come back to us,” I cry and rub my cheek against her head.
“Foolish woman,” Emma hissed and something wraps on my angle, it throws me against a wall. Jonathan runs to me and helps me up, “She lost it, we need to run!” I shake my head to him. “No, I won’t abandon my children!” I stomp my feet on the ground and the vine around Jackie freezes and shatters to ice crystals.
POV Jack
“This way!” I yell to other Guardians who are following me. We are flying through the air, I am lending the power of the wind and they are flying with North’s sleigh. We noticed darkness and nightmares focusing on the mountains near Arendelle. There they must be, my family. Sandy stayed behind to protect the North Pole and my youngest daughter Belle from Pitch and his nightmares.
I land in front of a cave where the black sand is spreading to the world. Something is clearly wrong in that place. I nod towards the cave and North follows me with Bunny and Tooth. Slowly we walk inside and check our surroundings. Soon we see a castle made of nightmare sand. “Umm.. mates, that needs a lot of our magic to be turned back to normal dream sand,” Bunny gasped and swallowed.
I groaned, “Who cares! We need to get my family back and teach Pitch a lesson!” I ran forward but Tooth stops me, “Don’t rush in Jack! It will be a trap most likely.” I glance at the other guardians and they nod their approval to Tooth’s words. I sigh, “Fine. Let’s go together.”
North cuts an opening to the castle’s wall with his sword. The piece he cut off from the wall reminded a door and the piece that was cut off turned into golden shade dream sand. It vanished in the air. We walked inside the darkness.
“How nice to see Guardians of Childhood paying a visit,” Pitch laughs and steps in front of us from the shadows. I raise my staff in front of me, “Where are they!” I yell to him, Pitch walks closer and his fingers are looking like walking on my staffs surface. “You know,” he says in excited way. “No, I don’t,” I snap at him.
Pitch pulls me close to him from my hoodie’s collar, “You know, probably dying.” Then he pushes me back and my hands fall to my sides. No, they can’t be. “Yes Jack, yes. Your daughter is mine. She will finish off your wife and your son. Oh and after that little Belle,” Pitch smiles his evil grin. I am breathing shallow when North’s hand rests on my shoulder, “Jack.” I look up and see North with his determined look. “Go and find them, we will take care of Pitch. Your family is strong, remember that,” North said while taking a fighting position, placing his swords in front of him. I nod to them with gratitude when I blast forward, I avoid the nightmare horses that try to stop me. I will find them.
I hear the sounds of battle from far away, Guardians are showing Pitch the power of us, the ones who children believe in. Suddenly I hear other sounds. Screaming and begging. It is Elsa. I clench my hands into fists and I inhale deeply, while closing my eyes I fly as fast as I can through the corridors, taking few sharp turns in the corners. Then I see the place where I heard them.
I land and half run to that room. “I found you!” I laugh happily but then I see my worst nightmare. Elsa’s dress is covered in blood, Jackie is laying on the ground and faintly breathing. His body is so pale already. Then I see a dark figure, much darker than Pitch. It radiates the worst nightmare of people and I smell death. “W-what is going on?” I gasp and the figure turns around. It resembles, it resembles.. Oh no.. Emma!
I am looking at my daughter with vicious black eyes. She reminds me more of Pitch now than her normal self. Her blue eyes are gone as well as her warm brown hair. Even her dress isn’t the normal color anymore, black sand has covered it.
This is like a recap from before. I see how vines are hurting Jackie like when Emma last time lost her nerves. “Calm down sweetie,” I whisper to Emma who laughs coldly.
Snap.
Something just slashed a deep cut on my cheek and warm blood is dripping down. “It is too late!” A guy yells, “Trust me. She has chosen the darkside now. I cannot reverse the clock. I am sorry!” He exhales and I look at him properly. He is father time, Jonathan who I have seen couple of times. “We will bring her back,” I yell to him and I walk towards Emma. Elsa runs to me and holds my hand. We glance at each other and we knew what we must try.
“Your mum and I are here,” I whisper to Emma. “Please come back to us,” Elsa pleads from her. My hand touches Emma’s but she pulls it away. I hear how the vines are moving on the ground. “Stop it!” I yelled when I froze punch of the vines that would have covered Jackie fully.
Emma throws me and Elsa to the wall. She walks closer to Jackie. “No! He is your brother!” I cry to her but she isn’t listening. Jonathan tries to stop her but gets tied down. “Sadness and desperation,” Emma whispers. “Feed on the desperate souls after destroying the love,” I see how she raises her hand and prepares for attack.
I scream in pain when my heart aches. I send a blast of cold air and ice spikes towards her, it was followed by a small lightning. Tears ran on my cheeks when I realize that I have to chose to either save Jackie or die by Emma’s hands and let Jackie die also. I am panting and drop to ground. There is fog in the room after the air suddenly cooled down from my hit.
I look forward, afraid to see my daughter’s dead body. I cannot see her. I see Jackie, he is panting and standing in front of Emma, holding his hand in protective way. “D-dad,” Jackie exhales. “Y-you told me to p-protect my sister, no matter w-what,” he whispers and I see the agony shining from his face. He is holding his side and his breathing is cracking, blood is rinsing from his wound fast.
Jackie looks over his shoulder, “Ems.. C-come back.” I hear the sadness in Jackie’s voice. ”Listen to you brother,” Elsa cries. “H-he is dying! Jackie is dying! You could save him,” Elsa goes to Emma and hugs her. Emma has been staring Jackie for a while. I feel numb, I attacked and Jackie stopped me.
Then Jackie falls back to ground and Elsa runs to him, lifting his head on her lap. “Emma, come back. We need you,” Elsa whispers while petting Jackie’s head. I notice something, a strand of her hair has changed color to brown.
Without saying anything Emma goes to Elsa and Jackie, I prepare myself to go between. I watch as Emma kneels down, touches her brother’s shoulder. “Jackie,” Emma whispers and I hear sorrow in her. Her hand slowly moves to the spot where Jackie is bleeding. It starts to glow warmly, she is healing him.
Jackie gasps for air loudly, filling his lungs and his eyes widen. Jackie touches the spot which Emma healed. Emma seems dizzy and soon I see her falling to ground unconscious. “Ems!” Jackie yells and lifts her to sitting position.
Emma’s hair returns to brown and the black sand is almost like running away from her. I walk to my family and I embrace them all, Emma is starting to open her eyes. “D-dad? M-mum? J-Jackie?” Emma looks at us all. I laugh from happiness, they’re alright now.
Jonathan comes to us, ”I thought you were a goner but it seems that your heart is stronger than darkness.” He looks at Emma and smiles. Emma nods to her and seems to be trying to hold on to her tears.
Someone chuckles at the door. It is Pitch. “Sorry to see you doing alright and having a happy family reunion but it will soon end,” he grins and his amber eyes are glaring at us. “What have you done to the guardians!” I yell to him and he laughs, “They are a bit occupied with my nightmare army.”
Pitch rubs his hands, “Now I will have some quality time with family Frost.” Jonathan backs up when four nightmare horses walk in front of Pitch. Emma stoods up and so does Jackie. “Let us handle it,” they say in unison and I look at Elsa who seems as surprised as I am.
“You ready sis?” Jackie says to Emma when he starts to make hand movements in the air. Emma nods and throws some seeds in the ground. Jackie sets of a series of ice spikes and a whirlwind. It was a distraction. Emma had done a thick and long vine that shot towards Pitch, she was running on top of it. “Grow!” She yelled and threw more seeds that were some sort of flowers. When they bloomed they set off some gas.
Now Emma was the distraction. She was doing attacks against Pitch who laughed while avoiding her, now there were two nightmare horses approaching her. I hear someone mumbling something next to me, I glance on my right and I startle. It is Jonathan and his eyes are blank white, “Slow time. Stop time. Make things into standstill,” Jonathan mumbled and I saw how the nightmare horses were not able to move anymore.
Emma looks at the horses and then Jonathan, she smiles and chirped a thank you. I nod to Elsa and we ran to the horses, only the touch of a guardian could return the nightmare horses back to dream sand. I hit the other horse with my staff and it started to shimmer in gold. Elsa touched other horse to its head and caused the same reaction.
Jackie had trapped Pitch inside of a whirlwind that resembled a miniature tornado with snow and ice circling on it. Pitch was shivering and begging for forgiveness. Vines pierced the floor and tied him down. The wind in the room ended. “How shall we punish him?” Emma asked from Jackie who shakes his head.
”He is a coward and fears us. The fear will turn against him and the humiliation will be good for him,” Jackie laughed and Pitch was retreating towards the door. “This time we will let you go, never return here or you will face your end!” I yelled to Pitch and I felt how Elsa’s fingers entwined with mine. Pitch run away.
I sigh, “I am so glad that you’re alright but I think that we need to check out how the other guardians are doing. “ Emma stares at me, “They are here?” I nod, “Yeah, fighting with the nightmares.” Just when I said it I heard laughter and saw how Jackie lifted himself in air and flied downstairs.
We all quickly run downstairs and I saw how Jackie was fighting off the nightmares, protecting Bunny who was hurt. Emma threw couple horses away from Tooth who tried to free North from gigantic troll nightmare. My back was against Elsa’s when the nightmares came, surrounding us. We took a hold of each other’s hands and closed our eyes. A pulse of cold combined to ice and snow ascended from us. Freezing everything we wanted it to freeze.
“Not fair!” Jackie yelled. Every nightmare in this room was frozen solid. I smile to Elsa and she kisses me. Now it is easy to just change the nightmares back to dreams.
