Pitch

Jack was not the only one with a plan, oh no, for you see, wherever there was a shadow; there was darkness, or even just a place to hide, that was where he could watch from, no where was off limits to Pitch, but then, for Pitch, that was never of use to him, as everywhere he went, he was just like Jack, unseen, unheard, unbelieved in…

Perhaps that is why he had taken to following the boy? Jack had found some believers, but it had not solved his problem, did he think by following him he could figure it out from the boy? Or was it just that, despite being defeated by him, he found the boy fun? These were things he was not sure of himself, yet despite the reason, it was the cause of him being present in the multi-globe room, he too had heard North speak about the other world… and just like Jack, he knew the potential it held… but for much different results

Just imagine it; a world where people believed; oh not just the children, no, everyone! It would be just like being back in the dark ages, people would tremble at his name, and better still, only one of the guardians… or… perhaps he should make it two… Two of the guardians knew about the place, a dark chuckle issued past his lips as he thought about how easy it would be to drive people's fears, and better yet, this world had magic in it! Nothing better then a bit of magic to drive a panic into a commoner! Yes, it was perfect… but he would have to plan… yes, and this time, this time he would have to think it through completely, and have something to back him up… it would not be like last time… no no… this time, he was going to win this war! So what if the guardians lived on in this world, as long as he was believed in… that was all that mattered!

Jack ran from the room after North, that was when Pitch moved from the shadows to get a better look at the globe, it had so many shining lights, all the people there believed… a world filled with wonder that was ripe for the taking; ah but how to get there? Oh it was true that he could travel anywhere dark existed, but he needed to know where to go first, he ran a shadowy hand over the globe and paused on North's first stop for the night, a town call Arandelle. A broad uneven smile graced hi features and was soon followed by a sinister chuckle, but be the time a yeti burst into the room, there was only an echo and a shadow remaining.

Jack

It did not take long for wind to carry him back to the small town he had been in, and when he landed, he left a frozen message for North 'going to rescue a girl, wind can get me home, you should go rest' with that done, he left for the big city, after all, it is in the bigger towns that you found the best information… and the best places to find information? Bars.

Oh Jack knew he was not going to get anywhere just hoping to casually over hear something about this Elsa girl, that would be ridiculous, no he had a plan, there was nothing preventing him from touching things, even if people could not see him, he was usually chalked down to being a ghost, which, when he thought about it now, was somewhat true, but that was beside the point; right now, all he needed to do was give a drunkard a prompt in the right direction, he waited till one not to bright looking fellow swayed his way to the bar, and as reached into his pocket to pay for his drink, he took out a scrap of paper instead.

Now this part of the plan relied on this drunk behaving as a drunk normally would; which, luckily for Jack, he did. The man moved the note back and forward from his face and then began reading slowly "Where… where is… is where… Elsa…" The barman snatched the paper from him and read it out properly "Where is Elsa?" the drunk raised a brow and him and hiccupped "I don't cube icened, I want to make pretty with the drink, so I give me back my paper and I will be way!" The drunk tried to make a snatch for the paper, but the tender held it just out of reach.

"And just what way is that Gunther?" the Drunk, now identified as Gunther whirled on the tender and began to walk unsteadily to the door "To the Palace! I will go, that is when she is from, and I will open the gate and Christmas!" The barman just shook his head and frowned as his patron fell flat on his face, he then looked to the note… Why would he have a note asking where Queen Elsa was, everyone knew that… the man tsked "She makes a few icicles runs away and get dragged back to the palace, and now all this fuss with it being Christmas, you have no chance Gunther , not a hope that you would get to see Elsa" As the barman scooped up the passed out drunk, he looked up to see something he had never seen before in his life.

A light sheet of ice began to cover one of his windows, the tiny forks spreading out to form a wonderful pattern that he had never encountered in his long years, even Queen Elsa's beautiful shows did not have the delicate beauty that this held, and just as he thought his marvelling was done, writing began to appear 'thanks for the information buddy' The bar man dropped Gunther and ran out the door just in time to see a skinny boy being carried off with the wind that was stirring up… He rubbed his eyes slightly and then took a smell of his breath… "maybe I should stop drinking with my patrons… I'm seeing flying boys…"

The wind was moving fast now as Jack spurred it on, he wanted to see this Elsa person himself, a woman who had an ice palace and could make living Snow guardians, he hoped she would be as fun as she sounded, he passed a few more villages before they began to bunch closer, he was coming into the city now, and even as he rounded the harbour to come on the palace, the first cracks of light began to show in the sky, Morning was just upon him. He knew that by now North would be gone, but that was okay too, he had an adventure to complete!

He rushed past the docks dragging his staff behind him, he was leaving a trail of frost in his wake, but he did not care, the wind whipped him upward and over the palace walls, none seemed aware of him, not that he expected the to be, but as the wind burst open the ballroom window so he could enter, he noted he was no longer alone in the room.

A young girl was sneaking in, she must have been 17, maybe 18, and it was clear from how she was tip toeing, that she had to be the first one awake, He rested to his staff as he watched her make her way over to the giant tree in the centre, and just as she was closing in on it, he sent a patch of ice her way… "W-woah!" the girl slipped and Jack caught her up in a small heap of snow while laughing, The girl though, did not seemed to be shocked by a sudden pile of snow or ice patch, but instead had whirled around to look at the door while cowering "I know! I am sorry! I wanted to wait for you! But…. Hey… where are you?"

Jack tilted his head and spoke more to himself "Who was she expecting?" the girl though was standing up now and dusting herself off, but she still seemed to be looking for someone "Stop hiding okay? Just come out" now Jack was curious, and he moved into her line of sight, but still she did not seem to register him at all, he looked at her for a moment or too as she began puling back curtains; looking for this mystery person, and then he got an idea.

When the girl turned to face his direction again, he tapped his staff to the ground, frost began to crackle out around him, coating the floor in its delicate designs, but as he was about to repeat the act he had with the Snow giant, he heard the girl saying… "This isn't Elsa…" Jack looked up when he heard the name, and his eyes met hers, and after a moment, hers widened; silence stretched out between them for a moment as Jack tried to figure out what to say, but before he got the chance, the girl screamed so loud he had to cover his ears.

It took only seconds for the guards to arrive, and second more for them to see him as the gir pointed at him and shouted, "GET HIM!" the men lunged forward at him with swords drawn and Jack barely dodged the swipes, The red head was screaming at him now "who are you? Why are you here?" and despite having the guards chasing him being fun, he flipped up to balance on the chandelier to answer the girl "Jack frost, and I am here for Elsa" Perhaps announcing it so boldly was not the best move, as this seemed to cause the guards to suddenly multiply, the red head was giving commands, and Jack took to thinking she must have been the queen there, but it was then that another girl burst through the double doors.

She was a pretty thing all tousled from sleep, but the minute she entered, two guards blocked her path and Red screamed "Stop him! Don't let him near her!" That was enough for him, he rushed the guards blocking the second girl and Scooped her up in his arms, the look of shock that was on her face was priceless, but as he commanded the wind to take them back, that was when she began screaming and struggling, causing him to almost drop her twice, and the minute he set her down to balcony she whipped off her gloves and sent a stream of spikeicles at him.

The attack took him off guard, after all, hadn't he just saved her? But as she lashed out at him again, he found himself doubting his mission "Hold! woah! Wait! Stop! What are you?! Ah.. Calm dow! Would you just!" he could not get a word in edge ways, and after another volley he lost his patience and slammed his staff to the ground, knocking all her ice creations and her to the ground; he moved towards her with a frustrated expression plain to see, and she was looking around almost in horror but eventually turned to look at him "how did you…?" "Hey no! No, I am the one talking here!" Jack cut across her and then moved to open the door of the balcony that lead to the palace "I rescue you out of your prison to bring you back, and you attack me? You would think a bit more gratitude would be in order"

"Rescue me? You just kidnapped me!" the woman was staring at him incredulously and Jack was shaking his head in a frustrated way "Now hang on! I was sent there to save you, how can you say I kidnapped you? Unless…" Jack turned on the ball of his foot, and it was only then Elsa noticed he was barefoot, she followed him at a distance when he walked into the building, and it was now that she realised where she was.. "why did you take me here?" Jack faltered for a moment and looked back to her, but then turned and called out "Hey Frosty! I got Elsa for you!"

He turned to look at Elsa as the lumbering giant seemed to almost trip over itself in trying to get up the stairs to her, only then did he speak "He told me you had been taken by men that cut off his leg to get at you… was he lying?" Elsa's eyes widened as she realised what happened, and as the giant came to a halt next to her proclaiming 'Elsa Safe!' She looked at Jack a bit closer now "No… he was not… but I am safe now… you took me from my place… I made this creature to protect me when I was hiding here…"

Jacks features darkened slightly "And now that you don't need to hide you ditch him… that's real nice…" He moved past her and Frosty, not liking the atmosphere anymore, but even as he past her she reach would as if to grab his arm, only to recoil in the last moment "Wait, please, it was not like that! I just… I never thought!" Jack turned to face her, his expression growing darker by the second "Never thought what? That perhaps he might have been worried for you? You created him to protect you! Created him and then left him alone! Not knowing where you had gone, or if you were ever coming back, and all you can say is I never thought!"

The woman seemed close to tears now, and Jack instantly regretted his berating of her "look, listen… okay… I get that you might not have considered that Frosty here would be worried, but, he was, so you have to apologise to him… and, don't go making snowmen if you are to prepared to take responsibility for them" Jack would be the first to admit how weird it felt to say that, but the Elsa nodded and bowed to the giant "I apologise for causing you to worry, you are relieved of any care of duty towards me." The Giant seemed a bit confused by this, but Jack just moved up beside her and translated while lazily leaning to his staff.

That done, Elsa now looked at him… "Will you tell me now?" Jack seemed a bit confused by this, and she realised she needed to expand on her statement "How did you break my ice attack?" Jacks brows rose and he laughed deeply, and in that moment Elsa realised she had heard it before, and as it had the night before, she felt it warming her heart, and she ended up smiling even before he answered, though his answer made her mouth open in surprise.

"I am Jack Frost, ice is nothing to me, I control Winter"
