3 Let it Glow
POV Elsa
The cries are back in the night. The crying of children that are afraid.
“Don’t you dare!” I shouted as I shot a nightmare horse with my ice powers. It tried to sneak inside one child’s window. I’m breathing heavily, the horses are back. Perhaps they’re not the only think that’s back?
I raise my hand in the air and a staircase starts to twirl towards the window. I climb up and go inside the child’s bedroom. She’s in peaceful sleep. I turn around and watch around me, in the darkness are the glowing eyes of the nightmare creatures. However Sandy’s golden dream sand is lighting up the sky which kind of relieves me.
“Sandy!” I called as I go down the stairs. It vanished behind me and then I see Sandy riding towards me with one dream sand dolphin. He shows a big question mark above his head.
“Do you feel their presence?” I whispered and I see Sandy narrowing his eyebrows. Quickly he turns around to look towards the shadows. Suddenly nightmare horses and other beings made from black sand ran outside. Sandy uses his dream sand whip and turns them back to dream sand. I see shock in his eyes as he looks at me.
“So you think the same as I do?” I said and crossed my hands. Sandy had angry expression.
“Pitch is back,” I whispered and Sandy nodded his head, signaling me quickly.
“Yes, yes I know. We need to go back at the North Pole to organize a meeting. You go and tell to Toothiana. I’m going to visit the Easter Island. But first I’m going to find Jack,” I said.
Sandy flew towards Toothiana’s palace.
I need to find Jack and where could he be at May? Well, I’ve heard that Alaska has still some snow left.
The snowglobe which I broke took me to Alaska. I see bits of snow there and there in the surrounding area. However there’s spring coming already. I sighed, I needed to find Jack quickly.
The best way to get my husband’s attention would be creating some snow in here. It’s something that attracts him.
Without further thinking I stomped my foot on the ground which was immediately freezing. I let out a cold breeze that started to whirl around me. It started to snow and soon the ground was being covered with white soft powder snow.
Suddenly I heard laughter and I glance up. Jack is sitting on a branch and grinning to me. “Whoa, I thought that it’s supposed to be spring. What are you doing?” He chuckled as he let himself hang from the tree upside down.
“Jack, I needed to find you quickly,” I said. Jack jumped down.
“Why?” He asked and walks to me. The ground is freezing under his feet.
“Sandy and I are gathering everyone at Pole. We’re having an emergency. Pitch is back,” I whispered and Jack’s eyes widened.
“You’re absolutely sure?” He gulped and I nodded my head.
“I wish that I wasn’t but it’s how things are. I’m going to get Bunny but could you get Jackie and Belle from Arendelle? They’re Guardians as well,” I smiled to Jack faintly and he gently stroked my cheek.
“Yeah, I will. See you in few moments,” he said and started running. I heard him shouting to the wind, to take him to Arendelle. I see how he jumps in the air and flies through sky.
I sighed and turn around, slowly I melt down the snow around me and then I used another snowglobe to get to Bunny’s place. Just before I stepped into portal I saw the Northern lights coming to sky. Sandy has probably gotten himself and Tooth to North Pole already.
POV Emma
Sandy asked me into a meeting with other Guardians. When I got there I saw my parents, uncle North and Sandy, aunt Tooth and my brother and sister. I noticed how Belle was keeping some distance.
“Is everyone here?” North roared and we all nodded. Dad jumped to sit on a table and pulled mum to his lap.
“Mrs. Frost and Sandy have something to tell us,” North told and mum forced her way out from dad’s embrace. She gave him an annoyed glare and dad chuckled a response.
“So I was watching over the sleeping kids while Sandy was giving them sweet dreams and then I saw them.. The nightmare horses are back and there’s more of those dark creatures. We believe that Pitch is back,” mother whispered and bit her lower lip.
“No way! I froze that scumbag and made him into tiny ice crystals!” Jackie shouted.
“Mate, this is really bad if it’s true,” Bunny sighed and looks at North.
“Let’s ask Manny,” North hummed and pointed at the hole in the ceiling.
We all gather around the world globe and stare up. Then it happened, the world globe was being shadowed by something.
“Pitch,” North whispered. “He is back,” he gulped.
Then we felt ground moving.
“Wait!” North shouted.
“New Guardian?” Toothiana gasped and I glance at my siblings quickly. They seem as confused that I am.
“This happened last time before your children were born,” Bunny whispered to dad.
“Uh, huh,” dad mumbled and bit his knuckles.
A pedestal rose up and a figure started spinning over it.
It was a man kneeling down. His face was hidden. Then he vanished suddenly.
“Okay. Could that be Cupid?” Bunny asked but everyone shook their heads.
“I don’t know. We’ve never seen a legend like him,” North sighs.
“Could it be Jonathan?” Jackie asks from me and I shrugged my shoulders.
“Maybe, it’s hard to say because it was so sudden and his face wasn’t shown,” I sighed.
Jackie groaned, “So. How will we deal with the nightmares?”
Our mother went to him and placed her hand on his shoulder, “You’re just continuing being the king of Arendelle, keep the children believing in us. Besides since Fern is expecting.” Now I saw how Jackie’s cheeks turned into the strongest shade of red that I’ve ever seen before.
“It’s true mate. We can handle stuff around here,” Bunny chuckled. Jackie nodded his head and stuffed his hands into his pockets.
My mother walks over to a table and returns with a book. I recognized the book, “You got that from Jonathan?” I asked and she nodded her head.
“There’s a prophecy about how the fear returns to the earth. The Solar Eclipse in May. Just two weeks from now,” she whispered.
“What does it say?” I asked.
“When the Moon covers the Sun a new reign of Fear begins. A firestorm marks its arrival and the battle between courage and fear starts. The battle between Darkness and Light. The daughter of the Sun and the Son of the Moon.” My mother read aloud and I narrowed my eyebrows.
“Okay, that sounds interesting,” Jackie whispered. “Does it say anything more? How does light win against the dark? I mean Pitch is surely the darkness but who is the light?” Jackie wondered aloud.
“On that day the power of the light is at its strongest and the result of the battle will show the fate of the world,” my mother gasped for air.
“What the heck is he up to now!” Father shouted and slammed his staff to ground. I lifted one elf from the floor to my arms before the cold blast could hit on it. I gently placed the poor elf down.
“Can’t that demon finally give a rest to everyone! First he was after the kids and now he’s going to destroy the freaking world! I mean c’mon!” Dad sounded really angry and mother went to him, gently placing her hands to my father’s shoulders.
“So Jonathan has had a vision from the future,” I whispered.
“Yes, he has written down these things which he describes as hints,” my mother said gently and kissed dads cheek.
“We will divide into groups, everyone is now responsible to watch over the children of the world and destroy the nightmares before they reach them. Is that understood?” North told everyone.
“Yes,” we all said in unison.
“I can work alone,” Belle said quickly and I glance at her.
“Sure sweetie, you’re the Guardian of Courage after all,” North hummed.
“Jackie can watch over Arendelle and nearby areas with Belle. Emma, can you handle the Asia with Jonathan?” North looks at me and I nodded my head.
“Jack and Elsa will look over northern areas. Bunnnymud and Toothiana will have Europe and Africa. I’ll keep an eye on South America with Sandy while we try to plan our best way to defeat fear once for all,” North stated.
We went over the plans few times before everyone left. I ran to Belle before she could use the snowglobe to return to Arendelle.
“Belle!” I called her and she stopped. I noticed how the snow around her was melting.
“Yeah?” Belle smiled faintly and I felt strong heat coming from her.
“Why would you want to work alone?” I whispered and tried to touch her. She got nervous and took a couple steps back.
I sighed, “How are you holding. Hasn’t it been like week since that Marco died?” I spoke to her gently.
Belle messed up her hair and looks at me with her brown eyes, filled with sorrow. “One and half,” she whispered.
“I’m so sorry,” I told her and tried to give her a hug. She backed away again, shaking her head.
“I just need some time alone, that’s all,” she laughed a bit and made a portal with a snowglobe.
I sighed as I crossed my arms. “What kind of man was he?” I asked while smiling. Belle chuckled and turned around just before going inside the portal.
“Scary sometimes but gentle and he had odd thoughts,” Belle smiled.
“Like what?” I asked.
“Like him loving me, stupid huh?” Belle laughed but then her voice cracked. My jaw dropped as I watched my sister while her heart shattered.
“Belle, I,” I whispered but then she was gone. She had went through the portal.
I went back home and I found my son sleeping on his bed calm. No nightmares were haunting him and I remained watching his peaceful sleep.
Then my front door opened and I walk back to living room. I see Jonathan coming back home and I smiled to him. However his expression was serious. “What’s wrong?” I whispered as I went closer to him.
“Emma, I need to speak with you,” Jonathan said strictly. I nodded my head and he walked over to me, taking my hands in his.
“What is it?” I whispered, afraid to hear what he had to say. He acts like this only if it’s bad. He is father time, he sees the past, present and the future all the time.
Jonathan sighed, “It’s about your sister. I’ve seen the future.”
My eyes widened, “What! No! Is something bad going to happen to her?” My voice shook.
Jonathan shook his head and smiled sadly, “It’s more of that something bad is happening to the world if she’s not to be stopped.”
I narrowed my eyebrows, “What do you mean?”
“She’s losing control,” Jonathan whispered. “Whole world will burn.”
POV Belle
I ran inside my log cabin at the woods of Arendelle. Keeping control hurts. It’s like a constant fire is burning me up slowly from the inside.
Counting usually helps. I started to count from ten to one. The burning sensation was getting worse, it was bearable at North Pole where was cold. Now I’m just sitting in my cabin which my each muscle hurting really badly.
Then I remembered the prophecy, how fire will come at Solar Eclipse. What if it means me? Am I going to destroy the world with my powers?
“This is stupid,” I whispered as I embraced myself. I remember how mother told us how she was once afraid until she learned to love her power. Well, I loved my power so why is it turning against me?
I winced in pain and then I remembered my mother’s song. The pain was almost causing me to faint when I rushed out from the door. I started to sing.
“My fire shines bright in the black of night
Only embers to be seen
A pyre of desolation
And I fear that I'm its Queen
The blaze is burning like this raging pain inside
I ignited the spark when it should have died”
Then I let my powers flow and I watch how my arm is covered in flames. The relief was remarkable and I continued singing.
“
What have I done? What did they see?
Am I the bad girl I always seem to be?
Deny yourself, don't let it show
Well, now it shows!
Let it glow, let it glow
My fire is warm and bright
Let it glow, let it glow
Why judge it wrong or right?
I can't help that I was born this way
Let the flames rage on
The heat never bothered me anyway
It's painful how my charred past
Scarred my desire to try
But those fears from my seared memory
Are fears I'll now deny
It's time to live life sure and new
To be the fire, pure and true
No good, no bad, no judge for me
I'm free!
Let it glow, let it glow
A phoenix reborn, I'll fly
Let it glow, let it glow
I'm not afraid to try
Now's my turn
So watch me burn
Let the flames rage on
My fire furies toast the ash and torch the ground
My smoky cinders roast the air and scorch all around
Relive regret no more, forgive, forget the past
I've been looking back too long
A future's all I ask!
Let it glow, let it glow
I'm the light at the break of dawn
Let it glow, let it glow
Cold yesterday is gone
Here I'll stay, I'm the warmth of day
Let the flames rage ON!
The heat never bothered me anyway”
By the time song ended my both arms and torso were completely covered by red and orange flames. I had to focus much to get them back under control. For a brief moment I felt better but then the pressure was again increasing inside of me. The heat was almost killing me. How can I continue like this? Pushing my powers back inside when they’re growing and wanting to get out?
I fell to my knees on the ground and I bury my face into my hands. I’m crying, I’m afraid that my worst fear is happening. The one that Marco showed me.
The battle is coming and the Guardian’s will be there. What if it’s me who they’re up against? What if they need to save the world from me? I whimpered when the images of my family traveled in my mind. How my sister screamed when I burned her son alive, the flames spreading and sucking my sister in the middle.
How can I tell them? I’m so afraid, I don’t want to hurt anyone. How long can I keep this up? The pain makes me want to scream but the sorrow makes me feel sad and alone.
There’s only one fact which is terrifying.
The real danger is..
Me.
