Yikes sorry its been soooooooo long! But enjoy this update I promise not to leave it so long for the next chapter!


Elsa


"I-I- can't" I whispered

Pitch's face fell before distorting with rage.

"Then you are a fool" He hissed

"You can't just expect me to rule with you, I don't know you" I said thinking if I ignored my own argument to Anna about marrying a man she just met I'd be a hypocrite.

"Are you sure you don't know me?" Pitch questioned stepping closer to me

My blue eyes looked into his cool gold-silver ones and there was a sense of familiarity. I took a step back away from him feeling another shiver run up my spine.

"Yes I would have remembered" I answered

"See that's the thing lovely Elsa you don't remember" Pitch whispered and slowly ran a long finger across my cheek "But I do" He finished

Before I could stop him Pitch lightly touched my forehead and I gasped as I fell backward and darkness covered my eyes.


Anna


"Elsa!" I called

"Anna stop worrying I'm sure she's fine" Kristoff assured me wrapping his arm around my shoulders

"She said she would be back by sunset" I stated nervously biting my bottom lip as the sun slowly sunk on the horizon.

"If it's worrying you that much we can go look for her but you're forgetting she's the one with ice powers" Kristoff chuckled

"But you're forgetting there's that creepy dude in black after her" I sighed


Pitch


I knelt beside Elsa who was now unconscious and placed my hand on her forehead. Carefully I chose one of my memories to show her, one that would explain why she should side with me and help me bring an end to those pathetic guardians.


"Elsa I'm back" I called

I stepped inside our home with a string of rabbits tossed over one shoulder and my bow and arrow on the other.

Then she appeared my wife, my Elsa.

"Wow you had a good day" Elsa laughed her blue eyes dancing happily as she noticed the felled rabbits.

"Yes I'll take them to market tomorrow" I stated setting them down before turning my full attention to Elsa.

She was the most beautiful woman in the village with her lovely dark brown mane of hair that tumbled wildly down her back. But her icy blue eyes were her most stunning feature; everyone said they were the eyes of an enchantress.

And she had certainly enchanted me, a poor hunter who had fallen in love with Elsa like every other man. However somehow she loved me in return and therefore faced the wrath of her father, the wealthiest man in town, in order to marry me.

In response her father cut her off and now we lived in a small cottage on the edge of the woods with only just enough money to survive. Yet it did not bother Elsa in the slightest although it bothered me, I wished I could afford to give her the life she deserved.

"Pitch you're not worrying about money again are you?" Elsa asked and gently cupped one of my cheeks in her hands.

"You should be a Queen not the wife of a poor hunter" I sighed and leaned into her touch

"Oh Pitch I'd choose your love over a crown any day" Elsa smiled her blue eyes looking honestly into my silver ones.

"What did I do to deserve you?" I asked before wrapping my arms tightly around her and embracing her.


The next morning Elsa and I walked arm in arm through the market. I had sold my game and Elsa had sold the remedies she made for simple aliments.

We were just on our way to the Bakery as the Baker's wife, Anna, had grown up with Elsa and often sneaked her a free loaf of bread, when Elsa's father stepped into our path.

"Ah here's the happy couple"

He was rather a meek looking man with his slight frame and grey hair but he held himself with dignity and his eyes shone with greed and cunning.

"Duke" I said lowly not masking my distaste

"Pitch, still a poor huntsman I see" Duke replied looking me up and down disapprovingly

Elsa's hand tightened on my arm either in reassurance or warning not rise to her father's taunts.

"What do you want Duke?" Elsa asked coolly

"I'm here to warn you those remedies you have been making have caused rumours"

"What kind of rumours?" I snapped

"Rumours of sorcery" Duke sneered

"Wait what?" Elsa said her elegant eyebrows shooting up in surprise.

"Everyone knows Elsa isn't a witch" I hissed "Come on Elsa I don't want to listen to this drivel a moment longer"

Elsa allowed me to lead her away from her father but I noticed her distant look.

"Hey don't worry I won't let anyone hurt you" I said determinedly

"I know" She breathed and leaned in closer to me


It was early the next day, dawn was only just making an appearence and as always I was hunting in the woods. Last night Elsa and I had discussed leaving the village at least until the rumours died.

"We would be free Pitch" Elsa's words echoed in my head.

Unfortunately I was too occupied with thoughts of leaving I didn't hear the approaching footsteps until it was too late.

Someone delivered a heavy blow to my head and I fell to the ground. At first all I felt was pain as I desperately tried to focus my vision to see my attacker.

"Sorry Pitch but I have to make sure you don't interfere"

My vision suddenly focused and I realised my attacker had been none other than Elsa's brother.

"Hans" I gasped "What-" I started as Hans knelt down beside me.

"I hope your head doesn't hurt too much but it was the only way I could stop you interfering without killing you"

"Kill me?" I asked feeling nauseous

"Yes I want you to live so you see what your love for my sister caused" Hans replied nastily

"Elsa is she in danger?" I asked alarmed but my injury left me vunrable and unable to stand.

"Oh yes considerable danger actually, right now she's being accused of witchcraft and you and I both know what happens to witches" Hans sneered

"No Hans you have to stop them" I said desperatly fighting the urge to vomit

"No I don't" Hans shrugged

"Hans she's your sister" I hissed

"Who disgraced the family name for being weak enough to fall in love with you. I won't be helping her" Hans shrugged standing up

It then dawned on me what was happening.

"You vile, evil-" I began but Hans kicked me harshly in the ribs

"Enough with the insults, now when you wake up it will all be over and you'll have to live with the fact that it was your love that ultimately killed my sister"

Before I could defend myself Hans heavily hit me on the head again and I slumped into unconsciousness.


When I woke it was dark.

My head throbbed but then Hans' words came back to me and I rushed unsteadily to my feet. Somehow I managed to break into a run praying that this had all been a cruel joke.

But then I saw the smoke coming from our home.

"Elsa!" I yelled

"Pitch!" Someone shouted back but I knew it wasn't Elsa.

When I finally broke free of the trees and stood before our smouldering house I saw that it was the Baker's wife Anna who had shouted me.

"Anna what-" I began but then noticed the tears pouring down her cheeks.

Anna was knelt on the ground cradling a body in her arms, Anna's husband Christopher appeared beside me and kindly placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Pitch I'm so sorry" He whispered

"No" I breathed making my way over to Anna

Anna let loose another sob and it was then I realised it was Elsa's body she was cradling.

"I tried to save her Pitch you know she was like a sister too me, but I was outnumbered" Anna sobbed

Gently I placed a hand on Elsa's lifeless cheek; she was as cold as ice.

"No" I repeated feeling numb inside "She can't be, this is simply a nightmare, a nightmare"

"I'm sorry Pitch but she's gone" Anna wept

"But she was innocent" I frowned still not comprehending the fact that Elsa was dead

"Hans and Duke didn't care" Christopher spat bitterly

I slowly rose to my feet and realised that I still had my bow and arrows on me despite Hans' attack.

"Build her a pyre" I ordered and began to walk away

"Where are you going?" Anna called

"I'm going to kill every person who had a hand in this" I hissed


In the shadow of Elsa's pyre on the edge of the cliff where we used to meet in secret when I courted her, I stood feeling empty inside as the fire burned away Elsa and my heart.

Anna stood closer to the pyre sobbing in Christopher's arms.

True to my word I had killed Hans, Duke and others who all helped bring an end to my Elsa. I closed my eyes feeling guilty that I did not weep but I felt devoid of any emotion now she was gone.

Slowly I opened my eyes and knew what I was going to do.

"Pitch!" Anna called noticing that I was taking small steps closer to the cliff's edge "Pitch don't!" Anna cried

But I opened my arms as if ready to embrace death and stepped off the cliff's edge.
