A few days later. In town.
No one has heard Regina which s worrying me a lot.
I walked over to Emma, Henry, Charming and Snow who were taking little Neal out on a walk.
Me "Hey, guys"
They smiled "hey"
I walked over to Snow "you have a second?"
David, Henry and Emma stayed a little behind to give us some privacy.
Snow smiled "wow, haven't seen you without your new man in a while"
Me "speaking about that. Henry.."
Snow smiled "...he doesn't know about you and Hook?"
i shook my head "there's no me and Hook. "
She scoffed amused "sure"
Me "okay., well, I don't know what there is but i certainly can't talk to Henry if i don't know what i'm talking about"
Suddenly Killian showed up "Echo"
I sighed "speaking of the devil"
Killian "the mausoleum's all clear. Regina's not hiding there"
I kept walking "thanks"
Killian sighed "Echo, are you avoiding me?"
I looked at Snow "can you give us a minute?"
Snow stopped walking and i walked faster.
Hook followed me.
I walked around the corner and stopped.
Then i turned to him and shook my head "i am not avoiding you, i'm just..dealing with stuff. we have a crisis right now"
Hook threw his head back annoyed "There is always a crisis. Perhaps you should consider living your life during them, otherwise, you might miss it"
Suddenly we heard Leroy yelled "Attack!!! We're under attack!!!"
Hook closed his eyes, completely annoyed, for a second.
Leroy ran to us with Sleepy "We're under attack!"
I asked confused "what is it?"
Leroy "We were just driving home when something blasted me with magic. The whole van's iced over. We woke up in a meat locker. Who's got that kind of magic?"
My eyed locked on the trail of ice on the ground "maybe the person who did that?"
We followed the trail. It led to a warehouse and i saw the door close shut.
Hook and i looked at each other before taking off running.
i ran through the door and saw the trail of ice on the ground. suddenly an ice monster started to form in front of us.
my jaw dropped.
Hook "well, that's a new one"
It growled at us.
I shook my head "We don't wanna pick a fight"
Hook put a hand on my arm "Echo"
Me "I just wanna see what it wants"
It roared at us "go away!"
We flew back and i flew on top of Hook.
He looked at me for a second before we stood up and ran up.
The monster followed us. It was bigger than a building. Oh god, what the hell.
Hook and i kept running away.
We came across Leroy and Sleepy.
Leroy screamed "Evil snowman!. Run Run!!!"
People started to freak out and were screaming. .
The Snow Man looked around.
Emma "i think the noise is scaring it"
The Snowman walked away.
Me "It's heading for the forest"
In the woods
We came across Robin's camp.
Robin looked at us "what is it?"
Charming "some kind of Snow monster"
Robin shook his head "no monster shall cross our path. We'll give your our assistance"
Suddenly there was a growling heard in the distance.
Hook "It's getting closer. It's coming from the north"
I saw it walking to us.
Little John shot an arrow at it.
Me "no no no, don't!"
Too late. it hit the monster in the shoulder.
Hook sighed "it only attacks if it feels threatened. "
The monster roared at us, pissed off.
Hook "pistol, sword, hook, my cutting wit. I don't think we have what it takes"
Charming "Echo does"
My eyes widened at him "what?"
Hook "your magic, love"
I nodded but then shook my head "Yeah No. Emma, why don't you take the first shot"
Emma held her hands out and concentrated. A flash of power hit the monster.
It froze for a second before turning way more angry and bigger.
Me "Great."
Emma's eyes widened "Really?"
Suddenly it threw us all back with its force.
Everything went black.
----
I groaned and sat up.
Regina walked away. Looks like she took care of it.
Hook looked at me.
i sighed, standing up and walking away.
Hook walked over to me "so, crisis averted"
I nodded "now you wanna go home and see whats on Netflix? Maybe do some Netflix and chill?"
Hook smiled, nodding confused "i don't know what that is, but sure"
I breathed out annoyed "Killian, someone created that snowman. This isn't over"
Killian shook his head "it never is. All the more reason to enjoy the quiet moments. "
He pulled me closer to him "And right now, we have a quiet moment"
I smiled "i know"
but then i stepped back "i just gotta do something"
Hook nodded "right, of course, go ahead, but don't tell me you're not avoiding me anymore, because i'm actually quite perceptive. This is avoiding me"
I nodded "i know.I am. I just feel too guilty. "
Hook asked irritated "over Regina?"
I looked around "She lost someone she really cares for, because of me. Again"
Hook searched for my eyes but i didn't let him find them "no, there's more to this than just Regina, isn't there?"
I took a step to him and gave him a kiss on the lips "be patient"
Hook "i've all the time in the world. unless another monster appears and kills me"
Me "Well, i just gave you a goodbye kiss "
He tensed.
I smiled amused and walked away.
At Regina's office.
I knocked on the door "Regina. I know you're in there, i can see the lights on. I know this is all complicated, but you can have happiness. I know it doesn't seem like it, but you just have to fight. And if you won't, i will. You're my sister, Regina and i want you to be happy. And i won't stop till you got your happy ending. "
No answer.
I sighed and walked away.
Night.At Town's boarder.
I pulled over at Town's boarder and my jaw dropped. The electricity had ran out in town and now i know why. there was a big wall of ice standing there.
I saw Charming pulling up next to me. he got out of his car and i got out of mine.
Me "What the hell?"
Charming shined a flashlight at it.
Suddenly we heard Hook "in case you were wondering, it goes the whole way around"
Charming sighed annoyed "Hook. I didn't know you were joining us"
Hook "Well, i get a distress call from a fair maiden, and i'm on the spot"
I shook my head "I was not distressed. You saying this wall goes around the whole town?"
Hook nodded "aye"
Charming "so once again, we can't leave Storybrooke"
Hook "Doing more than keeping us inside, by the looks of that"
He saw the electricity mast on the ground "Guess that's what caused the loss of power?"
Me "Look at yo, becoming a 21st century man. yes. Whoever put up this wall wasn't trying to take out the lights. "
Charming asked confused "to keep us in? why?"
Killian "kill us all one by one. It's what i'd do"
The radio in the car went on and Charming walked to it.
Hook "i should've brought the champagne"
Me "what?"
Hook "to celebrate our second date. And because we've got the world's largest ice bucket."
I asked confused "Second date? did i miss the first?"
Hook nodded "Aye. Snow monster's the first, ice wall's the second. After all, if i only count the quiet dinners, we wouldn't even get one"
I looked at the wall and froze "I think i see something by the wall. You wait here with the ice bucket while i check that out"
Then i walked closer to the wall. i walked inside and saw a girl there.
Me "hey, who are you?"
Woman "My name is Elsa"
I nodded "it's okay. Elsa. I'm Echo. Wanna tell me what you're doing out here? Do you have something to do with this wall?"
Elsa "I'm looking for someone, my sister. I can't find her"
I looked at the necklace in her hand.
Elsa "this was hers. I found it in the store filled with things. Where is she?"
I shook my head "i have no idea. but if you want me to help you, you have to help me. What's her name?"
Elsa "Anna"
Suddenly Hook and Charming showed up but they stayed outside.
Hook called out "Echo"
I called back "stay back"
Elsa looked at them alarmed
Charming "hey hey hey"
I shook my head "No no no. stay back. IT's okay. She's just trying to find her..."
Suddenly she enlarged the ice wall and ice spikes came out of the ground and rammed into the air.
I fell back by the force.
Hook "Echo!"
Then the entrance came crushing in. Keeping me trapped inside the wall.
I stood up and grimaced "ow. Quite the show up put on. You wanna tell me what this is about?"
Elsa "no. Just that i'm very powerful. And you and your people, you need to be more careful, keep your distance"
I eyed her amused "powerful, really? "
She nodded.
I pointed at the closed shut entrance "Then undo that mess"
Elsa "i ..not right away. Bring me what i want and then i'll consider freeing you"
I was freezing in here.
Me "your sister, right?"
Smoke was coming out of my mouth every time i talked.
Me "i can't really look for her in here"
Suddenly the radio in my jacket went on "Echo? can you hear me"
Charming.
Elsa "what is hat?"
Me "it's a .."
Charming "Echo, are you okay? say something?"
Me "it allows me to talk to my brother in law, who's on the other side of that wall. but if you wanna melt that, we can all talk"
Elsa "tell him to go get Anna"
I sighed and put the radio near my mouth "Charming, can you hear me?"
Hook breathed out relieved "Echo. Say again"
Me "I'm here with this woman, she is looking for hr sister, Anna. she thinks that Anna is in town because she found a necklace of hers in Gold's shop. She wants us to try to find her before.."
Elsa said into the radio "Before i freeze this town and everyone in it"
----
Me "The other day, there was something here. We called it a snow monster. I assume that's your creation?"
Elsa "I'll do whatever it takes to get my sister back"
Me "you care about her a lot. I'm sorry about her necklace"
Elsa looked around "where is it?"
Me "it fell. Under the ice, here "
I pointed at the gap in the ground. The necklace was lying there.
Me "melt it to get it back. Keep going and we can take this whole conversation somewhere warmer"
Elsa looked around.
Me "You can't control it, can you? what you said to David on the walkie, it wasn't a threat, it was a warning because you can't control what you're doing "
Elsa "what makes you think you know me?"
Me "because i know me. And i have powers too, and i've always had a little problem when it came to control them. And you're the same way"
Elsa asked surprised "you? you have magic?"
I nodded "yes"
Elsa sighed "Anna helps. She helps me control it. So if i can find her, she can help me undo this. We can get rid of all this, the while wall, when she's here"
Me "well, i'm afraid she's not"
Elsa "maybe your magic could help us out of here"
Me "I've been trying. Even just trying to warm myself up, i can't really feel my hands or my feet. I'm just tired"
I kneeled down to the ground "Let me just lay down for a minute"
Then i laid down.
Elsa kneeled down and pulled me up to sit "no, Echo, talk to me. Tell me more. Where you born with magic or cursed?"
Me "kinda both. a woman kinda cursed the woman who gave birth to me so that i could grow magic and then later that woman killed my mother to train me. And even though she trained me there are times were i can control it but something i can't"
Elsa "i ended up queen of a large land, unprepared"
Me "well, i'm a princess-throne princess. so i kinda get you"
Elsa "sometimes it all feels like too much, doesn't it?"
I nodded, still freezing.
Elsa "and even trying to just shut it out, that ends up hurting people, too. And part of it is, i'm the only one i've ever heard of with powers like mine"
Me "must be very lonely"
I laid down.
Elsa "I'm very sorry, i trapped us here. I didn't mean it
I nodded "i know"
Then i closed my eyes.
Elsa shook me "Echo. Don't sleep "
I cracked out "i'm here"
Elsa "tell me more about that man out there. The one beside your brother in law"
Me "You only wanna know more because you know if i sleep, i'll die"
Elsa pleaded "Echo, echo, stay with me"
Everything went black.
------
I woke up a little and saw Elsa trying to melt the ice of the entrance.
I sat up in pain.
Elsa made a hole in the entrance and helped me stand up.
Then she shoved me through the hole over to Charming and Hook.
I fell to my knees.
Charming "Let's get her home, warm up"
Hook pulled me up and hugged me.
his body heat felt so amazing. I could barely feel his arms around me but i could feel the heat. And i loved it.
Hook asked worried "are you okay?"
I nodded, hugging back "I'm now"
Suddenly my legs gave in but Hook picked me up bridal style.
At Snow's apartment.
Elsa looked at Anna's wand and shook her head "i don't see anything"
Charming "it should work. Is it broken?"
I was wrapped up in a blanket, still cold. Hook had his arm around me, rubbing my back softly to help warming me up faster.
Elsa "or does it mean something happened to her?"
Suddenly i heard something "wait, what's that sound?"
Elsa asked confused " that a heartbeat?"
Charming nodded "it is"
I leaned against Hook "we might not know where your sister is, but we know the most important thing. "
Elsa smiled""She's still alive"
Snow walked inside with Emma "who's alive?"
then she looked at Elsa, confused "who are you?"
Charming "uh, this is Elsa. We're gonna find her sister. It's what this family does. We find people. We always to. Because we really, really don't like to give up"
