Jack's POV

It sounded as if it came from nearby.

I followed the sound of the gunshots to an empty alleyway.

Empty bottles of who knows what, were lined up against a wall. A few were already broken.

And there she was

Elsa.

She had a pistol pointed at one of the bottles with a toothpick stuck between her teeth.

I watched as she pulled the trigger.

The sound of broken glass following the blast.

Elsa tilted her head a bit towards me, making her hair away out of the way and revealing one of her eyes. And of course, it was a deep shade of electric blue.

She raised an eyebrow and gritted her teeth as the gun fell to the floor.

"Elsa?" I asked

"What!" She said. Her words dripping with poison.

"A-Aren't we going to look for my si-"

Elsa started laughing like a maniac. Her eyes filled with hate.

"She's pretty much dead. You should just give up now"

I. I won't. I can't give up.

But I can't do this without Elsa.

"I'm not giving up" I said confidently

She let out a scoff

"And why is that?" Elsa had a wicked grin spread along her face

"Do you even care?! Haven't you ever loved someone so much, that you would do anything for them!" I roared

Elsa's eyes widened, which soon became a glare.

She clenched her fists and began to walk towards me.

Each step becoming more tense than the last.

Elsa grabbed my collar and pulled me towards her.

Our noses were nearly touching and I could feel her cold breath on my face.

Her glare became stronger.

"I've had my fair share"

She ruffly pushed me away.

"C'mon, let's go look for Emma" Elsa said.

Why did she suddenly change?

Oh well.

"So where do you think Pitch might've taken her?"

Elsa stared at me weirdly.

"How can you react so calmly to this?!" She yelled angrily

"I-I don't know?! I guess, I just have enough hope to trust that she won't be hurt" I gave Elsa a reassuring smile.

She looked at me in disbelief.

Elsa let out a sigh and shook her head.

"Forget it. About Pitch. He switches location often so he doesn't get caught easily. And the fact that we burned down his old one."

This isn't making things any easier.

"Usually he makes his new location someplace dark or abandoned"

How are we supposed to find him?!

That guy's a creep.

I looked over to a dark corner and noticed something lying on a trash bag.
