I think thats the hardest part of a story is ending it. You probably be pissed by the end of this chapter but theres nothing I can do.)

ELSA (P.O.V) >FRIDAY 4:30pm< ~PLAN A~

This was it I ran my fingers acrossed the envelope written in blue on the front read Anna. I carefully put the letter in the pocket on the inside of my black jumpsuit jacket. Tears lightly filled my eyes. Deep breaths Elsa. It was time.

Raising my head I looked at my reflection in the mirror. "Don't let them in don't let them see, be snowflake your supposed to be," I closed my eyes, "Conceal don't feel put on a show, make one wrong move and-NO!"

I shook my head opening my eyes I stepped back from the mirror. "NO!" I screamed a bit louder before softly whispering it again. One wrong move and we would fail...I would fail. Nothing could go wrong today nothing.

With shaky hands I pulled down my blue mask. It was like I was a different person now. More confident, more ready, prepared, more...fearless.  With cold eyes I glared into the mirror. I was The Snow Queen now.

"Don't mess this up!" I hissed at myself.

I took a gun and slid it into my belt putting my shirt over it. Then I put a dagger in each of my boots. With my head rasied I turned away from the mirror and slid on my gloves. I was ready. I had no choice but to be.

Without hesitation I opened the room and started down that hall of the headquarters. The letter in my pocket pressed against me making it nearly hard to breath. It was as if it was burning me. I wasn't afraid about the mission I was afraid about if this letter would ever leave my pocket and go to the rightful owner.

Apart of me wanted to let it go. My secrets. But another part of me screamed no. It wasn't time for the letter to go. I knew that when it was time I would know. The halls were empty I knew why.They were all waiting.

Everyone of them were waiting. Waiting for me. Waiting for my speech waiting for my decision. As I stepped into the room I found all of them standing. There eyes followed me as I walked to stand on the stage in between Merida and Rapunzel.

They wore the same as me only our mask different. I faced each section raising my head. I had stood in front of theses people, on this stage, with my best friends, many times before. But this was different.

"I've though much about how I would begin this speech but not as much as I thought about how to end it. Goodbye. Didn't sound right to me." I said, "And See you later wasn't much better."

They laughed sadly.

"I've also though about what exactly I should say, what needs to be said?" I tell them, "Well who will be my replacement if I don't make it through today? I'd like to say it took alot of thought but it didn't,  Merida and Rapunzel will both replace me, if they both end up gone, then...I don't know."

I looked at both my friends sadly.

"I said it once and I'll say it again" I sighed, "'Were snowflakes, were different, were frozen, were brave, and tangled in this life,' we came here fighting we leave fighting, yes we might fail but aren't the chances of success even if its low, enough to atleast try?"

"Thats all I real have to say, its time for war snowflakes, lets give them a real eternal winter," everyone put there hand to there heart before flipping there palm upward and opening there hand. They were ready.

But was I?

8:45pm

We stooded at the door to the Nightmares headquarters. We had made it thanks to Jack. I looked at my friends adjusting my headset. Snowfell harshly my doing it made us blend in more outside the headquarters.

"Jack?" I spoke into my head stop.

"SHIT!" He cried.

I frowned sighing, "Jack turn down the headset."

"Thanks for the advice," he groaned.

"Just open the door and I swear if your not alone I will shoot you!" I hissed.

"I love how much faith you have in me," he said sarcastically.

"I told you trust issues!"

"Yah yah I know I'll open the door in a minute, im on my way to the security system, " then it went silent.

I looked to Merida who had a bow over her shoulder her hood casted shadows over her faces.  Rapunzel stood next to her swords in on her back. She said she decided on them because they were a very handy weapon.

I think she chose them because they make her look like a ninja.  The doors opened and I stepped into a empty hall. "Ta TA!" Jack exclaimed. Hurting my ear I hissed and he chuckled.

"Okay team time to slit, Acher go right, Painter got left,  I'll head straight, " I directed.

As they walked away from me Jack spoke again much more softer, "Els?"

"What?"

"How can I get you to trust me?"

I paused taking a breath and simply replied, "Get us through this."

9:50pm

It was quiet Jack had informed me that not many people had been at the nightmare headquarters lately because of me being dead. I walked quietly down the hall my hood up and head down.

I did my best to avoid cameras I couldn't get caught. My black boot were soundless against the tiles. I took a deep breath through my noses. The nightmares that walked by me barley threw me a glances.

Nobody seemed on the edge, none seemed afraid. Maybe it was a nightmare thing? The farther I walked without a reply from anyone in my headset the more my thoughts seemed to overpower my body.

How would I die today? I knew it was only a 50% chance I would die but it seemed more than that.  Something screamed inside of me that I was going to die. How exactly though? Would I even know what killed me? Who killed me? If it happened?

Would I be attacked from behind? Or would I be killed looking into the face of my attacker? People dream of a painless death. That one day they will just lay down and go to sleep and...never awake.

But not me. I wanted to feel the pain when I leave. I want to feel something before I go. The one thing no after live could offer...pain. The only thing I don't want was to die with fear. I hated fear it was a useless feeling.

10:06pm

My feet took me to the left down a empty hall. It was much darker than the others. It looked completely abandoned. I was about to turn around when I caught sight of light shining through a slightly cracked door.

Looking around me I made sure no one was watching. I pressed my ear to next to the door. Nothing...silence.  After a moment I was convinced it was empty. I opened the door looking around.

I found it.

"Guys come in I found it!" I spoke through my headset.

"Were are you?" Punz asked.

"I don't know," I frowned.

I looked around the room I had found the poisons. They sat on counters, and in cabinets around the room. A metal table layed in the center. On one wall had nothing but square silver doors. I knew exactly what they were.

They were what morgues used to put dead...bodys. My eyes widened and I stepped back knocking over a tray of empty glass needles. They fell a few shattering on the floor. Shit.

"Just great Els how do ye not know were the hell ya are?" Mer hissed, "How are we supposed to find ya?"

"I don't know," I whispered my eyes not leaving the containers.

"Aye can't believe ya-AH," screaming filled my headset.

"Acher!" I shouted, "Acher are you okay?"

"Acher!" Punz tried.

Silence

"Mer?" We whispered.

"Jack come in Jack!" I demand, "Jack this is a emergency,  Snowflake down! I repeat snowflake down! Jack! Please answer Jack!"

Silence

"Punz?"

"Yeah?" Her voices quivered.

I took a breath "Get the hell out of here," I whispered.

"No, were in this together, im not going anywhere,"

"Punz-"

"No I won't go this isn't just you fight, im no-"

"Be quiet,"

"No-"

"Punz seriously be quiet!" I begged.I listened to my surroundings suddenly I heard it, "Someones coming."

Before she could say anything I turned of my set. From the sounds of footsteps they were getting closer I could hear voices just barley. I looked around for a place to hide. My heart started pounding loudly in my chest.

I had no choices quickly I rushed to one of the silver compartments. Quickly I pulled the silver handle it made a mixture between a click and a clumping sound. Pulling out the empty table thank all things holy it was empty.

Jumping up I at down my legs half way end. With my body I pushed the sliver table all the way in. The voices were louder, and the footseteps were right outside the door. Saying one last goodbye to the light I shut the door just as the people walked in.

Leaving me in a soundproof boxs with nothing but my thoughts and....complete darkness...

JACK FROST  ~No Plan~

I stared at the set of screens infront of me. They were so lucky today was my shift at watching the security cameras. I could see all three of them, The Painter identity still unknown was near the cafeteria.

The Acher identity also unknown was by the training rooms. The Snow Queen identity  Elsa was near the hospital section and a bunch of abandon halls and rooms. I tapped my fingers on the table.

I hadn't worked up the courage to tell Elsa about Anna being a nightmare. A part of me believed Elsa had a right to know but another part reminded me that is wasn't my secret to tell. It was Annas. Just like Elsas secret was hers.

They had reasons for not telling each other. But none of thoses reasons were because they were enemies.  They didn't know that secret. Only I did. So that was sort of my secret.

I also hadn't worked up the courage to  ask Elsa on another date.After our last date I was sure she'd say no. One day I'll ask her and I hope she'll remember the parts before the whole wonderland and give us another chance.

I sighed taking a quarter from my pocket and flipping it up in the air before catching it. I continued doing this, but froze as my eyes landed on the screen. The quarter fell to the floor its noise echoed the room.

A yound boy 10 maybe ran down the hall near the dungeon as people like to call it. This was odd I never knew Nightmares locked up children? Elsas words then echoed through my mind. She said she had known who killed my parents,  hers, Mavis mother, and...the orphans.

My eyes widened as I watched the boy take a sharp right down a hall. No I wanted to scream, not that way the exits the other. I hopped up rushing to the door my hand hovered over the handle. Elsa need me to complete this mission.

The plan wouldn't work if I left. I bit my lip I looked back at the monitors the boy was still running.  I had to help him....I had to safe him. I couldn't hear anything though my ear piece. I took the ear piece from my ear and through it to the ground.

"Sorry Elsa, I don't need any distractions, I'll save the boy and get us through this," I opened the door, "Believe in me."

9:55pm

I ran as fast as I could towards the dungeon making sure to avoid most of my team members. My heart was pounding.  Elsa was going to kill me when she finds out. I bet right now she doesn't even know I cut connection from her.

But I knew she'd find out soon. As I took a sharp turn around the corner I found myself ramming into something. I looked down to see a boy laying on the ground his eyes went wide. He shot up and attempted to run.

Quickly I grabbed him, he opened his mouth to scream but I covered it. The sound of the men who had been chasing him echoed through the hall quickly I pulled him into a nearby room. We were completely still as the men ran passed the door.

Once I was sure they were gone I removed my hand. The boy snapped around looking at me. He looked like he was about to freak out. Quickly I held up my hands.

"Its okay, calm down im not going to hurt you believe me okay, im going to get you out of here," I promised.

"Your- you-ur a-a nightmare!" He shrieked quietly.

"Yah sort of but im not on there side okay," I assured, "My names Jack,"

He hesitated, "Jamie,"

"Well Jamie how about we find my friends and get you out of here okay?" I smiled softly.

He nodded. Slowly I peeked out the door looking back and forth. Okay  here goes nothing.

10:05pm

Jamie and me rushed down the hallway towards the security room. Our feet squeaked softly against the tile. We hadn't past any nightmares. And I was greatful but notbas greatful as I was for the fact my friends had tooken the day off.

I didn't wanted them to find out they'd hate me and accuse me of being a trader. I had to find away to convince them the Snowflake were innocent. How I would do that? Not the slightest clue.

I stopped running to peak around the corner looking down the other hallway. Shit. Nightmare guards stooded there seven of them. I ran my hand through my white hair looking at Jamie. I had to get him out,

I had to.

I looked around I needed to find a escape. Suddenly my eyes landed on a small door alittle rusted. I rushed over to it. "What is that?" Jamie whispered.

"A old laundry shoot it should take you to the basement," I could here the guards feet as they moved around b there was no telling how long it would be till the made there way this way.

"What do I do when im down there?"

"There should be a staircase go up then theres a emergency Exit go out it and there should be a van knock on the door and tell then driver Eugene Jack sent you okay," I pulled the door open it squeaked.

This seemed to catch the guards attention they started to make there way towards me. I quickly lifted Jamie up. "HEY YOU!" A guard shouted.

"Have fun Jamie, " I whispered before he slid down quickly I shut the rusty door breaking the handle off.

Suddenly the guards grabbed me I had been caught. I didn't care though Jamie was safe all I could hope was Elsa was to. "Looks like we have a trader on our hands, you know what the boss does to traders," one chuckles.

I closed my eyes taking a breath. I was so fucked.

ELSA (P.O.V) ~Plan Failed~

I wasn't sure how long I layed in darkness it had been quiet for quite awhile. Which made me ten times more happier to hear Punzs voice through my headset.

"Oh my god Elsa," she cried.

"What is it what happened," I demand.

"I found...Meridas bow, " she started to cry harder.

"Calm down Punz its okay she must be nearby," I assured.

"No Els...you don't get it...the floor," she paused.

"The floor what?" I demand.

"Theres blood...everywhere Elsa....everywhere!"

Suddenly everything stopped I couldn't breath, "It...it could be some else's, " I tried.

"Shit Elsa whos elses could it possibly be!" She exclaimed.

"Okay I know, just hold on stay were you are im going to find you okay," I tell her.

After Punz murmured, "Hurry," I pushed the door near my head opened. I silently prayed nobody was out there. And to my relief nobody was. Quickly I slid out my feet hit the ground. I groaned at the my asleep legs.

I tried to keep my thoughts away from Merida...and what could have happen to her. I concentrated on my surrounding.  Everything was alot messier than before it looked like there had been a struggle.

Poison test tubbs were spilled, glass was shattered all around the room. Blood was smeared a bit on the silver table. A few empty needles layed on a rag on a near my table. The had obviously been there freshly used.

The only question was on who? My heart started to pound as I looked over to the silver doors.Could whoever it been been in there? Everything screamed don't.  But I had to know....I had to.

I walked slowly over to them glass crunching under my boat. With shaky hands I opened the first one. Holding my breath I pulled out the tray...empty. I let the breath escape.  Slowly I went to the next one opening this one the same. Inside was...empty.

I opened each door just like the first only to find each one empty. I opened them intill there was only one left. I didn't look at it. I didn't want to. Please be empty! I begged.

My gloved fingers wrapped around the handle. The click thumping sound echoed through the air. The horrible smell of blood filled my nose and a soft cry escaped my lips. I closed my eyes pulling out the table.

It was heavy I knew before I even opened my eyes this one wasn't empty. Come on Elsa open you eyes, I demand. Taking in another breath I allowed my eyes to open. As I seen what was in front of me I stopped breathing.

No! I cried shaking my head. I stepped back I could feel the cold wall behind me. The temperature in the room dropped. Please no please! Tears fell down my cheeks. My legs wobbled and I sunk to the ground shaking my head.

I had been right I did die. Not physically. No my physical body was healthy. It was what was on the inside that dies. My heart felt as in it had been ripped out of me, stabbed drowned in salt and put back.

My eyes didn't leave the pale motionless body in front of me. I pulled my leggs into my chest. I could barley breath, "Its all my fault," I sobbed.

"Im so sorry...

Jack..."

A/N: I have nothing to say.
