POV Merida

Why isn't he waking up? "Hiccup!" I called him and pushed him from his shoulder again. "Just a little longer," he muttered in his sleep and I groan. "YOUR PHONE IS RINGING!" I shouted to him and he startled awake. I chuckled to his hair that had gone messy while he was sleeping.

"Wha! Is it the end of - the world?" Hiccup yawned. "No but your ringtone sounds like somebody is being killed," I sighed. It was the Imperial March from Star Wars.

"Who is it?" I asked and Hiccup reached to his phone. "Jackson. This tone warns me," Hiccup chuckled.

"Yup, Hiccs here," he responded and I yelped when he pulled me against his chest. He winked his eye and listened what Jackson had to say.

I snuggled against his chest and kiss his shoulder but I noticed that he had gone tense. Something changed and I look at Hiccup. He is pale looking and he is just repeating the word 'yes' to phone all over again.

When he ended the call he rubbed his temples. "Something is clearly wrong. What was it?" I questioned but Hiccup laughed nervously.

"Nothing for you to worry about. Listen, Jackson had a thing which he needed me for. You can get ready and take whatever you want from the fridge. Oh, would you feed Toothless too? I'll go out right now," he said quickly and gave a peck kiss to my cheek.

I pull the cover on me better when he stands up from the bed. He starts to pull his pants back on. "Why won't you tell me. I can handle things," I murmured.

"Because it's something between me and Jackson. He needed my help, that's all," Hiccup says as he pulled his shirt back on.

"Again those secrets of yours. I mean it took you forever to tell me about that leg of yours and it's not even a big deal!" I snapped at him. Without saying anything he walks back to bed.

"Someone's a bit jealous, huh?" He hummed and messed up my hair. "Sorry that I have to go," he whispered to my ear and runs to door. I can hear him running downstairs.

"Great, you just left me here in your home," I pouted and crossed my arms.

Wait. He just left me at his home. Alone. Epic.

I start to go through his stuff and I found out that he is really obsessed with Star Wars and some Dungeon game. Maybe I should stop my search. Even his cat, Toothless, is glaring at me.

"Oh, your breakfast!" I laughed and Toothless started purring. We went downstairs to Hiccup's kitchen and I decided to do my own breakfast. I took out some pans and ingredients and I started to make pancakes.

Note to myself. Never do pancakes. Never again or just buy premade ones and add some nice jam on them.

This is what I figured out when firemen are carrying the burned stove out from his apartment.

POV Elsa

The cold wall smoothens the pain on my back. Yesterday Tai Lung wanted to use me as his punching bag. One after another he kicked or hit me on my back while Scar kept me still. At least I think that it was yesterday. They don't let me sleep, as soon as I shut my eyes one of them rushes to room, just to give me at least one single slap.

My head is feeling heavy and my chin hits on my chest as I go in and out from consciousness. I pull my legs against me and I hold myself in embrace. I just want this to end. My body is numb from the cold and the pain which they have created.

I'm slowly giving in to my tiredness and I close my eyes. I inhale and exhale calmly for couple times and I feel warmer as I'm falling to sleep. The world of dreams can take me out from this place, comfort me in this time of distress.

They slammed the door open and I'm staring at the only source of light. Two men step inside and I knew that my suffering isn't over. They're just toying with me and trying to break me.

I bury my head on my knees as I gather what's left of my courage. "Is princess not feeling alright today? Who guessed that the great White Blizzard, Pitch's pet, would turn into piece of trash so suddenly," I hear Scar laughing.

The strong grip of Tai Lung is squeezing my left arm. He pulls me up and twists my both hands in front of me. It feels like he is about to crush the bone from my arm.

My strength was too weak for me to say anything. I feel cold sweat forming on my forehead even though my insides feel like they're burning up. I just watch at them. Scar brings the usual chair in the middle of the room. Tai Lung throws me to sit and ties me on it. He makes sure that I can't cover my bare body with my arms.

"Nice," Tai Lung groans as he lifts my chin up. I spit on his face and he frowns.

Scar is setting up a pedestal and then he goes away for a moment. "What? Now you plan to cut off my head and place it there to display?" I said sarcastically and just when Tai Lung was about to hit me I see Scar getting back.

Carefully Scar places his dPhone to pedestal and then he pulls out a mirror. "Thinking of shattering that mirror on my face?" I muttered but then I see Scar holding the mirror in front of my face.

"Are you stupid, I can't see in the dark," I shouted. "Get the light Tai Lung," Scar says deeply and I hear how Tai Lung walks away and he returns with a big bright working light. He points it at me and I flinched when I saw myself from the mirror. It took a while for my eyes to get used to light again, the brightness was first making my eyes water and ache but soon I could see. And I wish that I couldn't.

My upper lip had a bad cut and left side of my face was swollen. Black circles were around my eyes and some dryed up blood was on my hair that was all tangled and messed up. The blood had rinsed from a deep cut on my head when Scar hit me with a brick since he just felt like he was annoyed by 'my pretty face'.

"Loving the new you?" Scar chuckled and showed me my chest through the mirror. I was panting when I saw the multiple cuts all across my body. The feeling of pain returned to me when I saw them. Some of the cuts seemed infected which doesn't surprise me since most of my body was covered in mud that had formed from the dust of the floor which had mixed up with the water that was dripping down from the ceiling

"W-what are you planning exactly?" My sob sounded like small hiccups as I demanded to know why they were doing this.

Tai Lung looks at Scar. "I guess that we can tell you the master plan of Pitch," Scar smiles deviously. Tai Lung goes to fetch more things from the room next to this one.

"You see," Scar started and touched my chin. "This has all been pre organizing of this one small moment," Scar chuckles as his fingers run on top of my cut marks. He grins happily when I winced from pain as he scratched my skin with his special knuckles that had lion claws.

I hear metal clattering against metal as Tai Lung is taking out the torturing equipment. The knives which these two love so much. "This time we'll be easier for you.. Make it shorter, just about ten minutes," Scar chuckled.

"W-why?" I managed to say.

"Because longer video would take more time to load," Tai Lung laughs. Then I look back at the dPhone that's on the pedestal. My eyes widen as I realize what they're about to do.

"We're going to film it all and send it to your lover," Scar laughs and walks to the dPhone.

When the light lit up on the dPhone I cried, "NO!"

"That's the spirit," Scar chuckles as he goes to Tai Lung who is having hard time to choose between knives. I knew now that they want to sent this video to Jack. This is how Pitch wants to hurt him, through my pain.

"The needles Tai Lung," Scar sighs and then I see how Tai throws a bag to Scar. My heart beat is increasing when Scar pulls sharp looking needles from the bag.

"Please no," I cried when Tai lifted my hand on a small table that he had brought in. I try to look at the hypnotic flashing red light of the dPhone as Scar is forcing the first needle between my finger nail. It hurts so much that I winced in pain.

They continued putting the needles until they were under every nail. Then they started pulling them out, one after another. Tears were running on my face as they continued.

But it was only the start.

I don't know if I should be grateful or not to see how Scar heats up one single blade under a flame. At least he sterilized that blade before making a one long cut over my chest. I feel the hot blood running down on my cold skin.

"Your turn Tai Lung," Scar said as he was wiping the knife clean. Tai Lung is squeezing his fists so that his knuckles would make a popping sound. He walks in front of me and I close my eyes.

First hit from him hit me on my shoulder. The other one made the air leave from my lungs as he swung one of his strongest hits to my abdomen. He kept on punching me so long that I felt world vanishing from around me.

"Let's make our leave," Scar mumbled and I took heavy breathes inside. I saw how Tai Lung was measuring the distance. He was getting ready for a kick. He placed his foot on my stomach and I begged him not to do it. He just laughed coldly and placed his foot back down.

For a moment I thought that he listened me. But he didn't. As soon as he turned around, he turned back and lifted his leg. My abdomen felt like exploding from the pain that his kick made me feel.

I fell down with the chair and while I felt dizzy, laying on the stone cold ground, I felt how they cut my ropes off. I heard them chatting, how they're now sending some quality footage. My shaking hands are rubbing my aching wrists and I'm shivering on the floor.

They took everything with them when they left, all except the one bowl of rotten bread that they threw inside from the door. Everything is dark again and I wrap my arms around me. My whole body is burning up from all the pain they caused.

POV Jack

Hiccup is sitting at Elsa's computer. He is trying hard to find any clues of her. "Anything?" I whisper as I lean over his shoulder.

"No, none. I'm sure that we will find her soon. M-maybe she went to a holiday without telling?" Hiccup said nervously and I shook my head. "She wouldn't do that, not without telling anyone," I sighed.

"Did you ask Anna?" Hiccup turns around with the chair.

"No. We don't want to worry her," I told him and rubbed my neck.

"How much have you slept?" Hiccup asks. He had run to here immediately when I called him at six am. I had been searching after Elsa for over 24 hours at that point.

"Nada," I sighed and sit on Elsa's couch. I bury my face into my hands.

"Go to home and sleep. We'll find her soon, I promise," Hiccup spoke and I heard him walking behind to me. He places his hand on my shoulder and I stood up.

I shook my head, " I can't sleep when she's gone." Hiccup sighs, "You're not any help to me if you're just pacing around the room."

I sighed my defeat and left from Elsa's apartment. It was around noon when I got home. I searched after Emma but since I didn't find her I went to voicemail. There was a recording from Emma, she had gone to Peter's place and was wondering where I was for all night. I left my phone to load on charger.

If she only would know.

I went to living room and laid down on my couch. I took a picture of Elsa from my coffee table and I look at it. She truly looked beautiful in her dress that she had in Anna's wedding. I wish that I could have been there with her. Then I glanced at the marriage certificate at the table and I took it into my hands.

I closed my eyes for a bit and then I heard my phone ringing. Quickly I stuff the certificate to my pants pocket and I listen. It's not any ring tone that I know so it might be anyone.

Slowly I stood up, my every muscle was aching because of lack of rest. The ringing ended but immediately begun again.

"Unknown number," I whisper as I respond.

"Jackson Overland," I said and then I heard laughter that I knew really well.

"Where is she?" I hissed.

"Nice to hear from you too, Snowflake Burglar. Let's say that I found out about your little secret." Pitch said bitterly and I squeezed my phone so hard that it could almost break.

"Where is she?" I shouted.

"Check the video message," Pitch said and ended the call.

I took my phone from my ear and I stare at it. Suddenly I see how it receives a video message. My heart is racing as I open it up.

"NO!" I heard Elsa screaming when the video begun. I froze to my feet, staring at what they had done to her. I was panting, they had cut her skin, humiliated her.

She was begging but despite of that they hurt her anyway. They made me watch as they hurt her. It disgusted me but I couldn't put my phone away. I can't abandon her.

Hot tears fall on my phone's screen when the video ended. With shaking hands I pull the charger off from my phone and I run to get my jacket.

I bumped into Toothiana when I opened up the door. "Now you really need to explain," her hand touched my face and she looks at me worried.

"Outside," I said quickly and gently pushed her out. Her hand was resting on her abdomen, where her unborn child was growing. "I.. I need your help," I stuttered.

"What's happening? Why are you so upset?" She asked again and I bit my lower lip.

"M-my wife," I whispered.

"Wife?" She sounded stunned.

I nodded my head. "L-long story.. The girl w-who I dated before.. uh.. just promise me that you're keeping this between you and me. You're sincere and caring person, that's how I feel about you," I look into her eyes.

Finally she sighed and nodded her head.

I swallowed the lumpy feeling. "M-my wife, girlfriend f-from before. Elsa. S-she's part of the Nightmare's," I started and ignored Toothiana's gasp. "They have her, they're hurting her!" I cried and took my phone out.

Toothiana watched the start from the video and paused it quickly. She nodded her head seriously. "What you need?" She asked.

"D-do you have a way to track w-where this video was taken?" I asked.

"Let's go back inside. I'll send it to Sandy," She said and when I look at her insecurely she touches my shoulder. "Trust on me. I won't give her in, you're a friend for me actually," she smiles warmly and walks in. She is typing something with my phone.

"Sandy said that he needs five minutes," Toothiana grinned.

Toothiana forced me into kitchen and she did a smoothie from healthy looking ingredients. "Here, drink this. It'll strengthen you up," she smiled. She handed me the smoothie and when I was about to refuse she glared at me and I quickly drank everything.

Toothiana's phone started beeping and she took it out. "The result," she whispered and I go behind her shoulder. "It's the abandoned Black Cauldron," Toothiana said.

I stare at that places name. "The old vine factory with that basement?" I asked and Toothiana nodded.

"I'll get her," I said and run towards the door. "You should wait for help," Toothiana shouted after me.

"It's just 15 minutes drive from here! She has waited me long enough!" I yelled and took my jacket. I put it on me and take my keys from pocket.

Quickly I run to my car and get it started. I saw from the rear mirror how Toothiana runs out. She's surrounded by the dust that was left behind from my car as I speeded off from the yard.

"I'm coming Elsa,hang on," I whispered as I saw the sign of the Black Cauldron.

I did a sharp turn to get on the yard. I saw some fresh tire tracks on the abandoned factory's yard. Someone has been in here. Slowly I get out from my car and look around.

My heart was beating wild as I kick in the front door. Then I run inside, yelling Elsa's name. A sudden creak behind of me got my attention and I turn around. I recognize him being the guy who used the knives on the video.

The knife guy tries to swing at me with his hand that has some weird claws on knuckles. "You dare to hurt her!" I shouted and dodged. His hand hits on the doorway and the rotten wood cracks.

I kicked him down and he grunted when he hit his head on a loose brick. I started to look out for the basement and then I saw some old signs on wall. I wipe the dust away and I see that I need to go my left.

I run as fast as I can and then I see the stairs leading down. I'm coming for you, I thought in my mind. There's no sign of the bald guy that wore leopard patterned clothes. I must be careful, I can't let myself be surprised because Elsa needs me.

When I got to basement I arrived into small room. Then I saw the door with a lock. I try the handle but it's closed and I star to beat my body against it. It's a heavy type of door and my actions are not working.

"I need something," I said to myself and I run back up. I look around and then I saw a fire axe hanging on the wall. I go to it and I take it, it's dusty but not rusty. I laughed in relief and then I felt something on my shoulders. I let my guard down.

I elbowed the person behind of me and he loses his grip. When I turned around I saw the other guy from the video.

"Now I'm going to kill you for that," he panted and I dodge his kick. He seems strong but slow. I run behind of him but I feel his hand hitting on my back. I flew to floor and I roll away from under his feet quickly. He just tried to crush me!

I start to crawl on the ground and I go behind of a table that was turned upside down on the floor. "Come here worm!" He shouts.

"You're slow!" I shouted and he immediately shattered the table into small pieces. I gulped and jumped up. I dodge one more hit from him and then I swung the axe that I was holding. It hit onto his leg and he shouted from pain. I pull the axe out and he is holding his leg that's spraying out blood.

I gritted my teeth together, "Better run before you bleed to death!" His eyes widened and he left while telling me that he will snap my neck when we meet again.

I was out from breathe when I got to the door. My shoulders ached when I swung the axe at the door. Slowly I was getting the lock broke. I reached to the handle again and the door opened.

"No!" I heard Elsa shouting in panic and I see her crawling against the wall.

"Els, it's me," I whispered but she kept shaking her head. I went to her and kneeled down. I touched her shoulder but she pulled herself away.

"What did they do to you," I sobbed and I see her shivering. I'm holding my tears as I take my jacket off. Then I take my hoodie off, leaving me only wearing my t-shirt.

"Put this on," I said quietly and offered my hoodie to her. She isn't responding. I inhaled deeply couple of times, not knowing what to do.

When I felt hurt and broken the last time she sang me a song. I started to remember the lyrics and I started to sing,

"I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go"
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

"

I notice how Elsa started to look at me and her eyes lighten up. Slowly I dress my hoodie on her and embrace her. Suddenly she goes all numb and I notice that she fainted. I wipe my eyes to my hand and then I wrap my long jacket around her. I lift her up gently and carry her to car while continuing my singing.

"Don't you dare look out your window, darling,
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold on to this lullaby
Even when music's gone
Gone

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La La (La La)
La La (La La)
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La La (La La)

Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound...

Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh oh oh."

She seemed so calm when I placed her on my cars back seat. "You're safe now," I said and brushed hair from her face. Then I startled when I saw my hands. They were covered up in blood and I look at myself. There's blood all over me and I start to breathe heavily. I winced when I noticed my jacket slowly being stained from her blood.

"I.. I'll take you to hospital," I said quickly and I run to driver's seat. I start the car with my shaking fingers and then I inhale deeply. I glance to my back seat and I see that she's breathing.

I didn't even realize what route I took or how long it took me to get to hospital. I'm just slowly realizing that I'm in the waiting room and the doctor is speaking to me.

"What did you say?" I said as I woke up from my daze. I'm trying to rub off the dryed blood and people are staring at me.

"I'm saying that she's stable and only relatives can go to see her now. I'm sorry Mr. Overland," the doctor sighed. I chuckled a bit from relief and I run my hand through my hair.

"B-but I'm related.." I spoke when I realized what he had said. "You filled the form and said that you're her friend," doctor said in calm way. I shake my head, "N-no. L-look she's my wife." I said and pulled out the certificate from my pants pocket. It was crumbled but the doctor looked at it and nodded his head slowly.

"Follor me, Mr. Overland," he said and I went behind of him. He stopped in front of a room. I was about to go inside when he stopped me.

"There's something that you should know," he said. "What?" I said as I stared in from the window, looking at Elsa who was sleeping.

"She was badly hurt and there's some damage that cannot be undone. We would like you to give police a statement of what has happened," the doctor sighed.

"Damage? What damage?" I turn to face him. My hands are shaking.

"I'm sorry for your loss, Mr. Overland," doctor placed his hand on my shoulder.

"What loss?" I questioned. "She's right there!" I raised my voice and pointed at her. Doctor shook his head and hushed me.

"She was expecting. We couldn't save the baby. Do you want to tell her or we?," doctor looks at me sadly.

"Baby?" I whispered and look at Elsa. "S-sure, I will tell her," I said blankly. The doctor left after a while and I go inside.

"What did they do to you," I said quietly as I tried not to cry. I went to her bed and she was still sleeping.

A/N:

Ahahaha.. Normally I just like tear up in the max but I actually started crying, my eyes are swollen.. The song was just too much in this chapter, when Jack is singing. Gosh. Whoa.

What type of feelings did you go through while reading?

My mind really dark place is. Sometimes.
