Elsa's POV

"Are you ready my dear?" Hans asked.

"As ready as I'll ever be." I sighed picking up my gun, and loading it in my belt along with my other weapons and tools.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" he said impatently when I was starting to walk out of my room.

I looked down at myself, I thought I had everything I would need.

"Umm, I don't think so." I said, and he slapped me across the face. Like so hard I hit my head on the wall and fell to the ground.

"WHERE IS MY GOOD-BYE KISS!?" he yelled at me.

"Oh, sorry." I said, and pecked his lips. Even just pecking his lips made me feel ill and like I needed to take two showers just to feel decent again. He grumbled at my kiss, but didn't do anything else.

"Good, go get em." He said sounding angry then left me.

How I wish my life was different, that I wouldn't have signed that contract. I had to take out a very large loan from the Nightmares; more specifically Hans, my......... boyfriend now. I never wanted to date him, but I was forced to. He was Pitch's son, and if I refused then someone I care about would have been killed. I regret ever walking into these door, and seeing his face. Then again if I didn't get that loan then Anna and me would have most likely started to death, though she will never know the sacrifices I made for her, she thinks that I am dead. Yeah, I had to fake my death, but it was for her protection.

I sighed and walked out to my motorcycle, and put on my ice mask and hood on. I also put in my earpiece.

"Artemis, this is Avalanche. Are you in position and ready?" I asked.

"Yep, all that I am waiting for is you. So hurry up and get your skinny ass over here, I want to go to sleep." she whined.

"Copy that, I'll let you know when I am in position." I chuckled, then took off.

Me and Merida(Artemis) both are forced to work for the Nightmares, and we both have huge debts to pay off. We work together as a team, and always have each others back. She may not be a genius, but she knew how to get past around any obstacle, could hack into just about anything, and could take down five ninjas with no weapons or back up. She is the one person in the world I trusted with my life.

It was already past midnight, and we were both tired. Though being part of the Nightmares we usually worked in the dark when no one was around.

I was on my way to the museum to steal Cinderella's glass slipper. It was in town for only one night, and is heavily guarded, so this should be fun.

Although I hated stealing, I have to admit, I was really good at it.

Jack's POV

I was sitting in my office filling out paperwork from the other cases that we completed today.

"Jack!" my best friend Hiccup said running into my office, "I think I was able to get a lead on the Nightmares next target."

"What is it?" I asked, jumping up and grabbing my gun. Why didn't I ask who is it, the Nightmares usually only steal priceless artifacts. There have only been two times when they have kidnapped a person.

"It is Cinderella's glass slipper, and I thing Avalanche is the one doing the steal. Though I can't be sure, they communicate in code and riddles. Plus you should see the way they protect their systems, it is just..... wow."

"Avalanche? Come on, lets go!" I said running to the police van where I was joined by Hiccup.

I was so excited, I have been after Avalanche for years.

Avalanche is considered the best thieve ever. He has been stealing things for around five years now, and no one has seen his face, never gotten caught on cameras, never tricked any alarm, and never left any DNA evidence behind. The only way you know he was there is always a paper snowflake left on the ground. He got his name Avalanche instead of Snowflake Burglar or something like that because he can demolish and get past every person or obstacle in his way. Avalanche works for the criminal gang the Nightmares, and is their best agent. One of the Nightmares tried to attack my little sister Emma once, and I have made it my sworn duty to put them all behind bars, even if I die in the process.

We arrived at the museum, and I saw two security guards down on the pavement sleeping. I walked up to yell at them to do their jobs, when I saw there were darts in their necks.

Avalanche is here alright, and it is time to take his ass to jail.
