Hey guys! So I finally decided to dive head first into the fandom and contribute to the fictions! Haha! :D I had this idea and had to put it out there for you guys! Yes, I know that Jack is hurt for most of this story, but later chapters will have more of Jelsa interaction. Try to be patient! This is my first Jelsa fanfic, so please by kind! No flaming please!

Disclaimer: I do not own Frozen, Rise of the Guardians or any of the characters! (I won't post this at the beginning of all the chapters because it is in the summary…)

Enjoy! 3

Set Me Free

Jack flew through the small town where Jamie lived in the middle of the night after leaving a fresh coat of snow on the ground for a snow day tomorrow. He was on his way home to his beloved Snow Queen, the wind guiding his path. Little did he know that there was someone waiting in the shadows for him to pass the alley where they hid. As the white haired snow spirit came into sight, the dark archer pulled back his invisible bow string and large sharp arrowhead made of black sand emerged at his finger tips.

As Jack Frost came into position, he released the imaginary bow and by the time Jack realized what was happening, everything seemed to be happening in slow motion. He saw the arrow speeding towards him but it was too late. He couldn't avoid it. But his eyes also caught the glimpse of the man who was attacking him. With a giant smile across his lips, Pitch Black was menacingly anticipating the impact.

And for an instant before the black sand hit, he felt a tinge of fear clinch his heart. 'What is Pitch planning? Elsa…' Was he last thought before the arrow pierced into his chest.

Jack felt the air knock out of him as he began to fall towards the street below. The sand quickly started its work on him, before he could even hit the ground it was spreading. With the opened wound on his skin, the black sand invaded his body. Jack writhed with pain. With a seemingly bone crushing thud, he finally hit the pavement. His body convulsed as sand made its way through every pore of his being.

Pitch approached him with a smug, accomplished grin from his successful assault. Jack looked up at him from his fetal position through squinted eyes because of the pain that was coursing though him.

"Oh Jack. You really shouldn't fight it. Soon, you will be nothing more than a shell of the Guardian that you were, filled with darkness and nightmares!" Pitch said excitedly.

"What are you going to do…?" Jack managed through his clinched teeth. The pain was excruciating. Pitch chuckled at his question.

"Well, since you won't even be able to interfere soon, I guess it wouldn't hurt to boast about my ingenious plan." Pitch said while stroking his chin in thought. Then he bent down closer to Jack's level on the ground. "As I said, soon you will be consumed by my darkness, once it reaches your mind, you will fall into an eternally sleep fighting against my nightmares. Soon after that, it will make its way into your heart and you will die." Jack's hand instinctively gripped his chest over his heart protectively. Pitch chuckled once more. "I will then take care of your precious Elsa until she joins you on the other side after a long, painful, torturous death."

"LEAVE HER ALONE!" Jack exclaimed, using the last of his energy to blast as much magic towards Pitch as possible. Unfortunately, he was too weak to even reach him. Pitch simply leaned backwards as the frosted spark quickly dispersed and laughed loudly.

Jack heaved in each breath painfully, his vision was going blurry, fighting the blackness as much as he could.

"Jack, you're only making my black sand's job easier the more you waste your energy!" Pitch sneered. Jack glared at him. Pitch laughed again and turned away.

Jack took the opportunity to look up at the very brightly shining moon. 'Please… Protect her…' He prayed to the Man in the Moon. He only hoped he heard his thoughts as he passed out from the pain. The blackness creeping into his brain, starting Jack's endless nightmares.

The night grew longer as the Snow Queen awaited Jack's return. Elsa paced before her balcony window trying to think of where he might be. "He is never out this late." She said to herself. Her worry was starting to make her fear that something happened to him. She stopped pacing before she wore holes in the carpet and opened the door to the balcony and stepped out.

It was chilly outside but Elsa didn't even shiver even though she was in her light blue ice gown. To someone who might have seen her, they may have thought she was cold by the way her arms wrapped around herself, but that was just the way Elsa tried comforting herself from her fears.

She looked up to the sky, looking for any sign of Jack's return. No such luck. She did however notice the brightness of the moon that night. It seemed larger than normal. Then, it started to glow, brighter.

Suddenly, Elsa's eyes widened as she saw flashes of images through her mind. First of Jack in the fetal position, then of the black nightmare horses that Pitch controls, lastly of an image of Jack limply sinking in under black waters.

As the images stopped, Elsa gasped as she came back to reality. Her fears were true. Jack was in trouble. She then remembered the stories Jack told her about the Man in the Moon. She had never spoken to him personally but she suspected he was the one warning her now. Elsa looked back at the shining orb.

"Where is he?! What do I have to do?!" She cried. No response. Then she realized what she must be asking. That was probably all he could manage to tell her for now. And she was grateful. At least she knew he was in danger and could do something about it. "Thank you Manny." She said with a sad grin before rushing back inside.

She hurried to her vanity. Jack had always told her that if she was ever in trouble or if something happened to him, she could always turn to the Guardians. She knew that is what he would have wanted her to do in this situation. She finally reached the vanity and she stopped. Just as she was taking a breath, Anna knocked on her door and came in. Elsa looked to the door where her sister was entering. "Elsa? Are you alright? I heard you yelling something." Anna said giving her sister a worried hug. Elsa wrapped her arms around her sister in comfort.

"Anna, I leave you in charge while I am away." Elsa said softly. Anna gasped and pulled back to look at her sister in shock.

"You're leaving?! Where are you going?" She asked in panic. Elsa grabbed her hands and gave her a reassuring but sad smile.

"I will be back as soon as I can. I promise. But Jack is in trouble." When Elsa spoke his name her voice broke slightly. Anna's face became more concerned at the news.

"Is he ok? What happened?" Anna asked gently, trying not to upset Elsa further.

"I'm not sure of anything. That's why I have to go and find out." Elsa replied. She turned back to the vanity and picked up an empty snow globe. Looking at it as though she wasn't sure what to do. However, she did know. Jack told her. But she didn't know exactly how it would work.

Anna hugged her quickly. "Be safe." She whispered. Elsa smiled softly. The two separated and Anna stepped back. Elsa took in another deep breath and released it.

"Santa's Workshop." She said only inches from the globe. To both girls' amazement, the snow inside the orb swirled and revealed the image of the workshop. Elsa threw the snow globe to the floor and shattered it. A rainbow colored portal appeared. She turned her head back towards her sister and gave her another reassuring smile.

She straightened her posture before entering the vortex. After she was fully emerged, the portal vanished into thin air, not a trace that it was ever really there. Anna sighed and walked to the balcony door, closing it before returning to her husband Kristoff in bed.
