Beyond the Freezing Point

Chapter 1

If it was bad the last time, this one was worse. An insurmountable-amount worse. The first this had happened, Arendelle was set off in an eternal winter everywhere. Despite the fact that everything was frozen and snow fell in the midst of summer, at least there were intervals between each snowfall or temperature drop. People could still go outside and shovel snow or resupply their food and wood. The intervals did not last long but still, periods of clear air existed. This time though, there were no intervals.

Arendelle was under continuous, heavy snowfall.

From the heart of the kingdom to the mountains in the North, the snowfall and the temperature drop was constant. The fjord had frozen in thick, thick ice and the snow that fell, fell silently under great dark clouds that hung over Arendelle as far as the eye can see.

But the winds.

The winds and the gales tore only around the castle like it had not been since the rage of the old gods at war with each other. The clouds above the castle were darker and bigger and the winds twisted and coiled around the castle like an impenetrable wall of air. Whatever else inside that vortex that was not made of stone had frozen and had been broken into sharp, splintering pieces, and were now being spun around in great speeds by the howling gusts. The winds themselves were blowing in such malevolent velocities that if anybody who ventured there did not freeze instantly, they suffocated to death.

Jack watched in slight awe at the winter that stormed Arendelle from his perch on a cliff on the mountains. They had just ushered everybody to safety in the mountains and as far away from the winds in Arendelle, while North and the others convened in the ice castle. Jack breathed out a troubled sigh as his thoughts brought him back to the rapidly-changing landscape. If it wasn't so dangerous, it would have been a beautiful sight, he thought as snow and frost continued to bleach the world. Who knew something so pure could be so threatening. Just as she was.

And his chest tightened as a new surge of rage shot through his veins, fiery and hot. An icy blast of wind, sharp and stinging blew from behind him, as if a response to the peculiar storm he was staring at, and rustled his hair over his darkening features.

"Jack," A voice behind him cut through his thoughts. Jack closed his eyes and took a deep breath, the wind dying down as he exhaled. His face softened just a bit as he turned to look at the owner of the voice.

Anna and Kristoff. They were wrapped in heavy cloaks and jackets and were looking grim at the scene. Anna had tears in her eyes and Kristoff held her close. Snow dusted their hats and their shoulders and their breath came out in white puffs. Anna sniffled, wiping a tear-stained eye.

"Is there any way, any way at all, we can save her from Pitch?" Her voice broke as she begged. Jack's frown deepened, his fingers tightening over his staff and his eyes flashing. Kristoff and Anna shivered at another sudden gust of wind.

"Jack!" Kristoff cried out, holding Anna closer to him. The wind died down immediately. Jack's shoulders slumped as he took another deep breath.

"Sorry," he breathed out, eyes cast down, visibly pained and frustrated at the uselessness he was feeling right now. "I'm sorry... I was – "

"We know," Kristoff said softly. Jack looked back up at the couple in front of him and found them both smiling sadly at him. "We know. We love her too."

"No... You don't understand...," Jack replied, looking away. They didn't know what they were talking about. They don't understand the extent of his feelings. He had to make them see that–

"Elsa is everything..." MY everything.

Anna's sad smile widened and she shuffled closer to Jack, before putting her gloved hand on his shoulder. Jack refused to look at her.

"Jack, we know," she said, warmly. "You are her everything too." Jack sighed and managed a small, sad smile at them. He was about to thank the couple when a rumble was heard coming from the direction of Arendelle.

Anna saw it first and gasped, covering her mouth with a hand as more tears overflowed. Jack turned hurriedly too look at what Anna saw.

No.

His breath caught in his throat when he saw that giant, black icicles had started protruding out through the walls, the roofs and the floors. Even under the cloudy weather, the black spikes of ice gleamed sharply, stabbing the castle from the inside. And they rose, like razor-sharp fingers reaching for the heavens. For a few seconds, Jack felt himself weaken as his heart cried out painfully at the thought of what she was going through.

Elsa.

Gripping his staff tightly, he felt his strength coming back. He had to be strong. He had to be, to save her. He felt his rage roar back to life, filling him with such power and energy that at that moment, Jack knew, he knew, that this would be the last time Pitch interfered with his life. And in a seething, terrifying calm, he started to turn back to face the couple.

"There is a way to save Elsa."

Anna and Kristoff suddenly felt another icy blast of wind, this time more dangerous and slicing, while the snow in the ground started freezing itself into hard ice, forming sharp spikes around the area Jack stood in. Grasping at each other tightly and backing away slightly from the newly-formed ice, they looked back up at Jack. They could not fathom into words at the sudden chill in their bones when they looked into Jack's eyes.

"Yes," he said, ignoring their frightened faces. "We're getting her back."
