The sun was beginning to set, dawn will soon fall.

"Hey!" Anna yelled at the skeleton kid, "stay away from that!"

Anna walked to the worm with Jack's staff in hand. Theoretically, it should give her his ice abilities, she'd heard that it was a relic for cold magic. Anna used her power of light, to create a miniature star in the ceiling, allowing for light fill the cavern.

The worm was deeply disturbed. As though the light burned it, the worm began growling and shaking the cavern.

Owl had just arrived at the cave when she saw what was going on. She took off to sit in a nearby shadow, her black wings and aura around her blending in. She patiently waited for something. She herself didn't know what, but if she was to talk to the beast now, it would be a bad time, she could tell that much.

Yoichi opened his eyes with a groan. He had accidentally fell asleep, being careless to not watch his own health. He slowly got up, using the door as support. He sighed, before checking his pockets to find the toy had infact been taken. He closed his eyes momentarily, before thinking about Lock. Yoichi murmured 'him' before opening the supply closet he had seen them go into before. "Care to give me back the toy? Or are you admitting that your just a child?" He said, a V-shaped smile on his face.

[FoxFireOfDawn]

Yoichi cocked his head, still smiling. "And what proof do you have that I said that about this beautiful lady right here? It would be a bit rude, don't you think?" He replied, twirling a cane that was not there before. He had most likely summoned it from The Abyss, seeing as countless monsters and objects lurk there. "Also, if you wanted something off of Pitch, I'm sure the ba-...guy would give it to you."

Nessa held the snow globe and watched Elsa run away before Fredrick brought her back through the portal. She almost felt like crying, seeing how wrong she truly was about Elsa and the ones who were cursed. She may have been tainted by the curse but she was still herself deep down. She was still weak and tired from Jack's snowmen attack earlier and decided to rest in the infirmary, in case Pitch could tell them anything else about the disease. She couldn't seem to find sleep so she instead just laid in the bed and studied the snow globe. Could she now really control part Elsa's powers? She thought about what it would be like to be able to create snowmen. She was never able to create living things with her shadow powers on her own so maybe now she would be able to, with some practice creating live snowmen.

"damnit, you didn't kill the source!" Pitch knocked over the papers that were on his desk. Knowing now that all his plans were useless. "Have you any idea the implications that lead to leaving the cursed deity alive after disturbing it's tomb?"

Pitch rubbed his forehead, exausted from all the work he'd been doing today. "A monster will only leave it's den if they feel threatened, a cursed monster is only able to leave their den at night." Pitch looks over to the sick patients, the disease has spread. Within time, the Gothel will order the deaths of the sick students. "Come nightfall, that creature will come after them, leaving a path of destruction in it's wake."

As the light filled the cavern, the worm's skin burned upon the touch of the light. Using Jack's relic, Anna flew all over the cavern, sealing any escapes with ice.

[Nehelenia]

"Well that's not my fault!" Nessa said as she sat up in the bed, clutching the snow globe. "Fredrick pulled me through before I could even get to the cavern with the beast!" She understood Pitch's concern but what was she supposed to do? The portal had been the easiest way through to the cave and now it was closed. She would go back in if she had to but she was in no shape to be off fighting some creature of shadows.

[axleonex]

Pitch let out a sigh. "Give me Pandora's box." Pitch said, "Do you have it with you, or does Fredrick have it? Y'see, something I didn't tell you is that Pandora's box will only help those it truly believes in. People who it knows will better serve humanity. Children are much more likely to have the box help them, adults on the other hand...." Pitch let out a soft chuckle. "When the box is opened by someone whom isn't worthy, a hell storm of mythological monsters will unravel. Nessa, give me Pandora's Box. I will open it, use Fredricks portal to throw it in the cave, and allow the monsters to destroy themselves."

[axleonex]

The worm shook the cavern as it slammed it's body into the ice walls. Anna could feel her body tightening at the strength of the ice magic. The ice began to thin as Anna couldn't hold the creature in anymore.

"I won't..." black monstrosities began to surround where Anna flew. They growled it her, preparing themselves to devour her. "I won't let you escape..." She was sweating. Her body was failing her as the strength from Jack's staff drained away at her magic. Adrenaline. All sound went mute as she held strong the ice walls keeping the worm from escaping.

"Good." Pitch said, taking the box. He sets a shadow minion the size of his thumb on the box. He tells it to open once it reaches the other side of the portal. "Let's hope the box still doesn't like me once it opens. Of course, after what happened last year I doubt it'll change it's mind."

Anna tries to out maneuver the shadow slaves, but she does so sloppily as her exhaustion catches up to her. She could feel the taint wrapping itself around her heart. She can't hold the worm in any longer.

The worm slams against the ice closure again and again. Cracking the thick layer of ice that held it in. Right when the sun sets down and darkness falls on the mountainside, the worm cracks out the ice, rushing out of the cave and into the dark wilderness. It lets out a high pitched scream, letting the entire mountainside know that it's free.

Pitch puts the Pandora's box back in his pocket. "Never mind Fredrick, the plan won't work anymore. The monster has left the cave."

[axleonex]

Pitch rubbed his chin. "You certainly are... resilient to resort to such a thing. I can do as you say, and it will stop the taint. But I'll do it on one condition." Pitch hands Fredrick the pandora box. Before giving it to him, he shrouds it with a black aura. The box turns black, he hands it to Fredrick's good arm. "I want you to get swallowed by the worm, open the box, and then portal yourself out."

Maleficent speaks through the intercom. "As of right now, all students are to stay in their dormitories until further notice. Due to the rising threat of the disease, all students with black hair and eyes will be killed on sight if found outside of their dorms."

XXX

Radcliffe turns to Maleficent from inside the main office. "Maleficent, as your security adviser, I highly advise you against this. Once this all blows over, there will still be great hysteria among the students."

Maleficent looks into the orb at the end of her staff. She sees a monster heading straight towards the school. "If a students isn't able to defend themself," Maleficent says, "Then they don't deserve to be a part of this school."

XXX

Radcliffe's security team stand outside the school gate. His team consists of two dozen golem sized mechanical machines that are powered by magic. They stand fifteen feet tall and have enough sentience to fight but not enough sentience to disobey Radcliffe.

Anna and Elsa run out of the cave.

"Well Fredrick." Pitch says after hearing the announcement. "Are you willing to risk your life to end this chaos?"

[Nehelenia]

Nessa thought this plan was insane but it seemed to be their only option now since the beast has left the caves. She got off the bed, still holding the globe as she walked over to the two. She sighed as she pushed back strands of her black hair from her face that had fallen out of her ponytail. "Is there any way I can help?" She asked. Maybe she could help stop the sickness from infecting the students as fast or maybe stop the worm from getting too close to the school somehow.

[axleonex]

Pitch nods, "Alright, Nessa, I need you to-" A shot of Ice fires at Pitch. His body freezes after it's encased on ice. Anna stands outside the clinic door. Her staff is still raised high, ready to fire at anyone who come near.

"I won't let you hurt my sister." Anna says. Her hair has become completely black, her eyes glow a flaring gold. "Even if it means freezing this school!"

[Nehelenia]

Nessa still had the armor and sword from Pandora's box with her and she drew her weapon. "Anna, I understand that you want to protect your sister, I would do the same if my sister was in danger, but this... You'll be killing all of us, and think of our siblings who would miss us like you would miss Elsa." She pleaded, thinking maybe this would be the best way to make Anna understand.
