Okay this is a trial post just to see what people think and so I don't forget it anytime soon. This is inspired by many stories so you may see some familiar things. It is also, unintentionally, inspired by the songs A Thousand Years from Twilight and I'm With You by Avril Lavigne. Listen to them as you read. They fit really well together. Anyway, since this is a trial, I will not be updating for a while and I also have to finish my other stories. Leave a review and I might update sooner! Anyways, enjoy!


All was quiet in the small village of Burgess. However, deep in the forest there was a trio on a frozen, cracking lake. The youngest was a 10 year old girl. She wore a brown and red dress with white and brown diamonds along the bottom. She also had shoulder length brown hair and matching eyes. The other girl was a 17 year old. She had waist length blonde hair and grass green eyes. She wore a brown dress with white snowflake accents on the bottom and at the end of the sleeves. She also wore a cloak and a silver chain with a moon charm necklace. The last was an 18 year old boy. He was very similar to the younger girl with his brown hair and matching eyes. He wore a white shirt with a brown vest, light brown pants and a cloak similar to the blonde girl's. He was barefoot while the other two wore ice skates.

"Jack I'm scared!" The brunette girl said.

"I know, I know." The boy, Jack, said, "But you're gonna be okay. I promise. We're...we're gonna have some fun."

"No we're not!" The brunette girl, Emma, cried, "You're tricking me!"

"Would I trick you?" Jack asked.

"Yes! You always play tricks!" Emma cried.

"Not this time." Jack smiled, "We're gonna play hopscotch like we do every day."

"Jack..." The blonde girl said, "This isn't the best time for a game." Jack looked back at the girl, completely serious.

"Trust me Punz." He said. The blonde, Rapunzel, nodded. She trusted Jack as her best friend to the very end, which she was aware might be coming soon. "Come on. It's easy. 1." Jack took a step forward and the ice cracked. To distract Emma, he went up on his toes and waved his arms around. She laughed as she always did. Jack smiled, "2. 3." He took the last two steps and landed beside a shepherd's crook like staff. "Come on you can do it. 1." Emma looked down as she took a small step forwards, the crack following her. Jack bent down and grabbed the staff. "2." He raised it as Emma came closer. The ice cracked more and she looked up, fear evident in her eyes. "3." Jack finished and reached forward. The staff hooked around his sister's waist and he pulled, throwing her right into Rapunzel's arms. The girls looked up at him and smiled. Jack smiled himself when the ice below him cracked and he fell.

"Jack!" The girls screamed. It was the last thing the boy known as Jackson Overland heard. Rapunzel held Emma as she cried and whispered,

"I promise I will always protect her." Somehow, she knew Jack heard her.


That night, Rapunzel returned to the lake, dreams of Jack's fall haunting her. She sat down on a log and softly sang,

"Flower gleam and glow,
Let your power shine.
Make the clock reverse.
Bring back what once was mine."

She couldn't finish and brokenly whispered, "What once was mine." Tears began to fall when she noticed a dark shape rising from the lake. Quickly, the blonde hid behind a tree and watched as a boy with white hair broke the surface. He wore the same clothes as Jack.

Could it be? She thought. She watched as the boy rose towards the brightly glowing moon before sinking back to the ice. She watched as he, after a few minutes, walked forward, slipped and then continued. When he reached the staff that saved Emma, Rapunzel felt her heart clench. He picked it up and stared at it. When it touched the ice, he looked back and she saw his face. He was paler than before, his eyes were now ice blue and his hair was snow white but there was no mistaking him.

"Jack..." She whispered so softly that only the wind heard her. Jack walked to a tree and touched it with the staff. Frost spread on it. He tried it on another before skating around the lake. Rapunzel hid as he skated past her. Her eyes widened as he was lifted into the air by the wind. She smiled when he fell. She flinched when he stopped. He then noticed Burgess. Quickly, Rapunzel ran after him. She arrived just as a boy walked through Jack. Both gasped as more walked through him. He was invisible. And she knew from the fact that he tried to talk to the little boy that he didn't remember anything. She leaned against the tree that hid her and cried. Jack walked past the crying girl. He wanted to comfort her and even raised his hand to do so but she wouldn't see him like everyone else.

"I wish I could help you." He whispered before he walked back into the forest, unaware that she heard him.


80 years passed. Rapunzel and Emma had lived until this day and were now terribly sick. Everyone knew that it was their time. They were the last remaining survivors of their generation, having miraculously been cured every time they were sick. A 98 year old Rapunzel lay in bed, staring at the full moon and the softly falling snow. Neither had ever forgotten Jack. They visited the lake to talk to him every year on the day of his death and his birthday. Rapunzel never spoke to him, only watched him from afar as he was frozen in time. Emma had married to a good man and Rapunzel had taken over Jack's promise to walk her down the aisle. Rapunzel however, never married. She had remained single, being a part of Emma's family. She couldn't marry after all. The one she loved was gone. Rapunzel smiled up at the moon and whispered,

"It's been a while, Jack. I...don't have much time but...one day, I'll be reincarnated. I'll find you. I'll...believe in you. I'll...remember you. I promise." And for the last time she raised her arm in the sign of a promise she and Jack agreed on as kids. She closed her eyes and welcomed her eternal rest.


Meanwhile, Jack Frost stood on a tree, staring at the moon when he felt a pang in his chest. His eyes widened as a gold shooting star passed the moon.

"What does this mean?" He asked, "Why can't they see me? Please tell me." But he was met with a silence he was slowly getting used to. He sighed, "Then I'll make them believe." He grinned. He was going to have some serious fun now. He stood up and flew towards the village. When he saw people mourning, he sent a light snowfall, hoping to make the sad day ahead beautiful.


Meanwhile, above Jack stood the spirit of Rapunzel.

"How long must I wait?" She asked.

"202 years." The voice of Man in Moon answered.

"Why so long?" She asked.

"The year you will turn 18 will be the year something extraordinary happens for Jack." Manny answered, "However you will not remember this life until Jack does." Rapunzel hugged herself and nodded. She would wait until it was time for her to live once again. She would wait until she could find her best friend again.
