Chapter Twenty-Three

JACK FROST

I rushed after Elsa pushing past people on my way. It was my first time in the headquarters. And it was nothing like imagied it. Nightmares I had worked with told me that the Snowflake place was dark and gloomy.

And that the walls were covered in dry blood and strange metal contraptions used to kill. They also said it had a hall of cells were the snowflakes would lock up there victims. And ever day the snow queen would walk down the hall running her gloved fingers across the bars.

She would pick a random victim and drag them down the hall taking a contraption from the wall and pulling them through a set of doors were they would never exit...not in one piece anyway.

I know knew that wasn't true and that no nightmare had ever truly been inside the Snowflake Headquarters. The walls were pale white and blue some with designs, so empty. Signs were here and there to tell people were to go.

"Elsa!" I shouted.

She ignored me and continued walking her blonde braid bounced. I groaned people shivered as I passed them. There eyes avoided mine I tried not to look down at the frost forming under my feet. Elsa had explained that I was poisoned and now I have this weird mutation they call The Curses.

I tried to acted as if I did care but failed. I felt like a freak what would my friends think? How would they reacted to frost shooting from my fingertips? Elsa raised her hand pushing the elevator button.

Just before the doors could closes I dived in rolling across the floor and hitting the wall. Elsa looked down at me but looked away as I caught her eye. I stood up slowly popping my back.

"Elsa!" I said again.

She didn't reply intill the elevator doors opened again,  "Go away Frost!" She hissed.

The hall we entered was empty nobody was around. The tiles were dirty and the lights above flickered. It reminded me of one of thoses places people try getting out of in horror movies.

"Elsa I need answers!"

"AND SO DO I!" She screamed turning to face me.

She pointed her finger at me she wore a pare of black leather gloves. Tears whelmed in her beautiful eyes. I reached for her but she jumped back.

"Stay away from me," she whimpered, "Its all my fault, if I would have just said no to the date, if I would have just erased your memory,  if I would have just refused your help you wouldn't have been hurt, you wouldn't have been cursed."

"None of this is your fault," I insisted, "Its mine im the one who ran off to save Jamie, if I would have just stayed put I wouldn't have been caught!"

She ran her hand through her hair, "DON'T YOU DARE REGRET SAVING A CHILD!" She screamed.

"I don't I was just saying, Elsa its not you fault about the curse," I assured.

"But it is my fault if I wouldn't have let you grab my hand I would have passed on my curse!" She cried.

"What?"

"The curse it a poison that mutates ones body, sometimes it has to do with the DNA of something mixing with the original persons body, or it mutates one with its environment or surroundings and sometimes it has a mind of its own and mutates one into something random," She explains, "When I touched you the curse obsorbed some of my mutation through your skin and into you giving you a similar power to me."

She rwmoved her glove and waved her hand creating snow, "Wow...so like Spiderman?"

"What? No he was bit!"

"So, he was still mutated into a half spider thing!" I pointed.

She shakes her head, "Okay whatever, listen I have work to do," she turned and started to walk again.

"Wait!" I yelled, "What work?"

She didn't lool at me, "I have to inform two families of deaths."

"Who?" I demand.

"Well only one is sure, T.A is still not known to be dead,"

"Oh im sorry about your friend...I understand how upset-"

"Save the pity they will be plenty of time for that when this is over," Her voice creaked, "We will pity over thoses we lost when there is time, but right now there is not."

She continued walking away she turned to a door just before she could open it I had one more question, "Whos the other death?"

"Jackson Overland Frost," she whispered, "Welcome to you new home."

She left me standing therein complete shock....

MERIDA P.O.V

The nightmare groaned as yet another tree branch hit him. I had been secretly pulling them back and letting go ask he walked by. He obviously was getting aggravated. My head hurt and I was still slightly dizzy but other than that I felt fine.

I had no way to contact Elsa or Punz and notifie them I was alive. My head set had been destroyed and my phone was dead. The light ahead of me disappointed over a hill. The Nightmare followed me he couldn't see the light with out me holding his hand.

He was the first person I ever know could do that. How and Why? I fear I'll never know. I took a step to climb up hill my foot slipped causing me to fall forward into the snow. The Nightmare chuckled and I glared trying to ignore the pain in my side.

To lazy to get up I climb up the hill the rest of the way. My eyes widened at what I saw. The Nightmare made it to my side I reached up and pulled him down into the snow. He opened his mouth to yell at me but stopped at what we saw infront of us.

My hand raised to cover my mouth. The blue light fade and my vision return to normal. My heart pounded in my throat I found it hard to breath with the toxic smell that filled my noses. In front of me was a large houses.

It looked abandoned and broken. A well sat infront. But that wasn't what made me feel sick or sent fear running through my vains. Tools and strange contraptions hung on the porch railing and in the trees around the house. All with frozen red liquid frozen to them.

Shakily I got up and walked towards it I could hear the nightmare behind me. As I got closer to the porch I was able to make out the dry blood finger prints on the railings and the welcome mat.

I raised a foot to step on the steps when the nightmare graved me, "We should go back, call the police or something."

"Someone could be inside," I tell him.

"Yah someone who wants to kill us!" He exclaimed.

"Or someone that need our help," I pointed,  "Plus whats the worse that could happen?"

"We get killed,"

I looked at him, "Don't worry I'll protect you," I smirked.

He pushed passed her and went to the door raising his fist and knocked, "Hey anyone home, no well bye!" He then rushed back grabbing my arm and attempted to pull me away.

I jerked away and started to the front door twisting the handle I opened the door. The Nightmare glared, "Come on," I tell him.

He groaned but followed staying closes to me. The inside wasn't any better that the outside, not only was it falling aparted but small white dolls hung from the ceiling. Faces drawnon them. X's as eyes.

Thin string was wrapped around the dolls necks and connected to the ceiling.  Careful not to touch them I bent over and walked the nightmare did the same. "So Nightmare what your name?"

"Ha like I'd tell you," he growled.

"Worth a shot," I said.

"¿Comò te llama?" He said.

"What?"

"You asked me thought id ask you," he shrugged.

"In Spanish?"

"Yah and in cases you didn't know what I ment I asked What do you call yourself? Which is pretty much what is your name."

"Ha like I'd tell you," I mimicked his voices to the best of my abilities.

He glared we stopped walking once we end up in what looked like the living room. The wooden walls were empty as was the rest of the room. The only thing was a latter pulled down from the ceiling.

Which lead to the adic, "We should go up!"I said just as the nightmare said, "We should go back."

Ignoring him I started to climb the latter the nightmare didn't follow me up instead he stayed down. I didn't mind I didn't need him but still I looked down at him and smirked, "Its much easier to protect you if you'd come with me."

He didn't reply only mumbled under his breath something about hi being able to protect himself. I doubt that. I stood uo straight looking around a gasp left my lips clear glass beakers sat on shells small quarks as lids.

Each with labels and different color liquids. A large table had nothing but a large science set with tubs connecting things together it was like something you see in a weird science fiction flick. Qith a creepy old scientist.

Large boxs sat against the wall holding small glass beakers. I walked over the floor creaking under my feet. Slowly I picked one up it was the size of my palm with a clear liquid on the inside. My breath hitched and images flashed before my eyes.

I could remember the old woman sticking the needle through the quark of the bottle and filling it. I could remember my crys as the needle inserted into my skin. I could still feel it as the poison ran through my body making it hard to breath.

I could remember how the colors of my vision fade and all I could see was the black and white. Then I remember the blue light as it danced in front of my faces before I blacked out.

I clinched the clear liquid in my hand, "This isn't over," I whispered....it never was.

ELSA P.O.V

I walked down the hall it was nearly empty I ignored everyone as I made my way to the door. I was tired and I knew it was time to be getting home. The night air felt good as I made my way to my car. Rapunzel strolled behind me.

Her eyes were teary her mask was slightly wet. She played with her hair, "Just think this morning we walked into the building with Merida."

Suddenly Punz started to cry again I stopped and wrapped my hands around her hugging her tightly. She cried in my shoulder it was kind of weird I wasn't really good at comforting. As she cried I allowed a few tears to fall.

Before we could reacted a large black van drove towards us. Out of instincted I grabbed my gun and aimed at the vehicle. Letting go of Rapunzel I put my finger to the trigger as the driver door opened.

"Ye miss me?" A voices asked.

We looked at the familiar redhead who stepped out of the car, "Merida," we cried.

Rapunzel was the first to hug her. Merida hissed it was then I released the white bandage wrapped around her waist. "We thought you were dead!" Punz exclaimed.

"What happened?" I asked hugging her.

When we pulled away the three of us just looked at each other, "Ye won't believe me when aye tell ye," she tells us, "Aye was attacked by Hans hes a nightmare can ye believe it? Then aye was saved by a nightmare," she went on telling us everything that happened, "Then aye found something in a box inthe adic."

She held up a familiar bottle of clear liquid, "The curses," Punz gasped.

Merida nodded, "Im afraid the Nightmares have someone making it for them, and from what aye seen your think its a new and improved curses, or there making different versions all aye know is there up to something, something big

Something worses."
