Chapter 2
Elsa was now 18. A full-grown teenager. After all these years she was still afraid.
"Okay…" Elsa was in her room and looked into her mirror. "They only will be gone for a few days…it is just for a few days…"
"Don't calm down." Pitch appeared into the room.
"Pitch!" Said Elsa. "What do you want? Fear?"
"You guessed right." Said Pitch.
Elsa closed her eyes and thought about losing her family, her powers getting out of control….
Pitch took all her fear in. "Alright, that's enough for today."
"Elsa!" Yelled her mother from downstairs. "We are leaving!"
"Go say goodbye." Said Pitch.
Elsa ran out of the room.
They were dead. Their ship sunk.
When Elsa heard it, she couldn't believe it at first.
Now she wouldn't come out at all.
Elsa was now 23. She only saw Pitch. Food was brought at her door and the bathroom was next door. Anna wouldn't come at her door anymore.
Then one day the gates opened up.
"You are going to become queen." Said a council member. "You are the next in line."
Elsa was in the hallway and forced a smile. "Of course."
She didn't want to. But it was just for a day.
She walked into the study room and looked out of the window.
"It is just for today…" Sang Elsa. "Conceal, don't feel, don't let it show…."
She looked at a painting of her father.
It was just for today. Only one day….
"Jack!" Yelled North
Everyone was in the workshop.
"What?" Jack jumped of the windowpane.
"There is a town you haven't been to in a while…Arendelle, I think."
"North, it's summer."
"Well, apparently Arendelle is frozen." Said North. "Did you…."
"No!" Said Jack. "But I know who did."
"Who?"
Jack sighed. "Elsa. She is the only one I know with ice powers. Unless Pitch got an upgrade."
He flew away to Arendelle.
He couldn't believe his eyes. The entire kingdom was frozen.
"What…" He gasped. Jack noticed something on the mountain. He flew towards it.
It was a giant ice castle.
"Let it go…let it go…." Sang a voice.
Jack walked into the ice castle.
"Here I stand in the light of day!" Sang the voice.
"What is that?" Whispered Jack.
Babytooth, one of Tooth's fairies who was always by his side, tried to hold him back.
"Babytooth, I've got to check out what that is!" Said Jack. Babytooth rolled her eyes and flew after him.
He walked upstairs into a room.
A girl with a beautiful ice dress on walked through the room…
Elsa walked through the room, when she noticed someone.
"Who is there?!" Yelled Elsa.
"Just me, Elsa…" Said Jack. He carefully stepped out of the corner.
Elsa stared at him in confusion. "Do I know you…you aren't with him are you?"
"Why do keep thinking that?" Said Jack. "Don't you remember me?"
"Remember you?"
"It's me, Jack Frost."
"Jack Frost? Isn't that just a myth?" Asked Elsa.
"Well, you believe in me, or else you wouldn't be able to see me." Said Jack.
Elsa sighed. "Sorry, but I don't…."
Suddenly she had some sort of flashback.
"Who are you?"
A guy with white hair and a staff stood in her room.
Elsa looked up from her playhouse.
"I'm…"
"Are you with him?" Elsa stood up. Underneath her feet appeared a little ice.
"You are doing that." Jack leaned onto his staff.
"I asked you a question."
"No." Said Jack. "I'm not with who ever you're talking about."
Elsa sighed relieved.
"My name is Jack Frost."
"I'm princess Elsa."
Jack grinned and bowed down. "The pleasure is all mine."
"Hey…" Jack waved his hand in front of her face. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine…" Said Elsa. "I…I remember…you came into my room…"
Jack smiled. "You remember."
Elsa nodded. "Yeah…but why are you here?"
"The town is frozen over." Said Jack. "They think I…"
"The town is not frozen, it is summer." Said Elsa.
"No, somehow you froze it." Said Jack.
"Stop it." Said Elsa. "You're lying. Please, stop!"
Jack saw a grin in the shadows, but it disappeared.
"Elsa." Said Jack. "Please, calm down! Let's go back to Arendelle and..."
A few ice spikes came out of the ground.
"I can't!" Yelled Elsa. "Anna…I hurt her…and if Pitch finds me…"
"I'll protect you." Said Jack with a serious face. "He won't get you."
Elsa blushed. "Thanks…" She said awkwardly.
Jack grinned and looked around.
"So, you've made this all by yourself?"
"Yeah, I didn't know that I could do this…"
"Want to see a trick?" Said Jack.
He held up his hand and blew in it. A perfect snowball formed.
Jack threw it quickly into her face.
"Hey!" Elsa made a giant snowball with her hand and threw it onto him.
Jack climbed out of the snow and laughed. Elsa giggled.
"Sorry, are you alright?" Asked Elsa.
"You throw pretty hard for a princess." Laughed Jack.
Elsa raised her eyebrows. "Excuse you, but I'm...I was a queen…"
"Queen?" Said Jack.
He quickly bowed down.
"Please, don't be formal." Said Elsa. "I'm not the queen of Arendelle anymore…"
"Then go back." Said Jack.
Elsa turned around and walked towards her balcony.
Jack walked after her. She looked at the clouds.
"I can't Jack, you don't understand…it's a very long story."
"Tell me." Said Jack.
"You are very curious, Jack." Said Elsa. "Anyway, I was born with…these powers. When I was very little Anna and I used to play with my powers…"
Elsa smiled, but her smile quickly disappeared.
"Then one night…while we were playing I hit her in the head with an ice beam. It was an accident! We brought her to the trolls…"
"Trolls?"
"Yeah, I know. Anyway, they healed her head. But she would lose the memories of my powers. They left the fun though."
Left the fun? Thought Jack.
"I shut her out and avoided her. I met Pitch…he would often visit me…if I told anyone he would hurt my loved ones. I was forced to think of things that scared me and then he would take my fear…one day my parents died…I remember that he was very happy. He told me something about nightmare horses or something…I don't remember. Everything was always cold and dark and I was always scared. Scared for so many years….And this evening…it was my coronation day. Anna wanted to marry this guy Hans. I told her she was crazy and before I knew it we were fighting. She grabbed my glove and I got very angry. I shot ice at the crowd…. and ran and ran and ran. Eventually I build this ice castle. And then you came in."
Jack was silent and stared at her. What did she go through…why didn't he stay at that time in Arendelle? He should've stayed and at least helped her. No wonder why she didn't remember him.
"Tell me your story."
"What?" Said Jack.
Elsa leaned on her elbow and stared at him. "What is your story, Mr. Frost?"
"Well, snow queen…" Elsa gave him a glare and Jack grinned. "That's what you get for calling me Mr. Frost."
"Just tell the story, Frost." Said Elsa.
"Fine." Said Jack. "It was centuries ago. I had a sister and a mother. One day my little sister and me went onto the frozen lake to play. She was scared, because the ice started to crack. So I used my staff to push her over to a saver spot. I saved her, but the ice broke under my feet and I fell in…later I opened up my eyes and flooded out of the frozen lake. It was cold, dark and I was alone. But then I met the guardians. I learned what it meant to be a guardian. I even defeated Pitch!"
"Who are the guardians?" Asked Elsa.
"North, Tooth, Sandy and Bunny. Or as you know them; Santa, the tooth fairy, the sandman and the Easter bunny."
"Jack, stop playing with me." Said Elsa. "Those creatures don't exist."
"You think that." Said Jack. "But they do. Just as me, they are real. You don't believe in them, so you can't see them."
Elsa rolled her eyes and went inside again. Jack followed her.
"Are you going to stay or…" Said Elsa." Because Pitch isn't here, right now."
" I think I'll stay. You are still in danger." Said Jack.
"I can handle myself, Frost." Said Elsa.
"If you know Pitch, then you know that he won't take you back to Arendelle." Said Jack.
"Why do you care so much?" Asked Elsa.
"Because we are the same." Said Jack.
"We're not. I have no idea how to thaw ice."
"I could learn you!"
Elsa suddenly flinched a little and grabbed her head. She was very dizzy and exhausted of using her powers.
"Are you okay? Here…" Jack swung with his staff a few times and a couch of ice was made. "Lay down."
"But…" before she could protest he laid her down.
"Don't worry, I'll stay here." Said Jack.
Elsa nodded and closed her eyes.
Jack looked at her face. Her braid was detailed and little snowflakes were laying on it.
A dust of golden sand was above her head.
"Dreams…" Whispered Jack. The sand pictured two girls playing.
Suddenly the golden sand turned black. Elsa frowned and screamed.
Babytooth gasped.
"Nightmares!" Said Jack. "Elsa!"
Elsa was in the ballroom. She saw her younger self and Anna playing.
"Do the magic!" Giggled Anna.
Her younger self smiled and made a snowman appear.
She moved the stick-hands and said with a low voice: "Hi, I'm Olaf and I liked warm hugs." Anna laughed and clapped in her hands.
Elsa smiled. "When we were younger…you loved my powers. I was so happy, back then."
"Elsa!" Her father appeared before her. "How could you? Why? Why did you hurt her?"
"I didn't mean to!" Yelled Elsa. "It was-"
Suddenly she was in a room. It was cold and there was almost no light.
"Where am I?" Said Elsa.
"Where you belong." Pitch appeared into the room.
"How-"
"You ran off without letting me know." Pitch put his hand under her chin. "I was concerned that my queen got lost. But you are with Jack."
Elsa took a few steps back and fell down.
"W-what are you going to do?"
"Nothing yet. We will meet again soon, but for now, let's give you a nightmare!"
Dark arms rose out of the ground and grabbed her.
"No, this is can't be real…" said Elsa.
"This is very real." Pitch laughed. A pain went through her body and Elsa screamed.
"Elsa!" Yelled another voice.
Elsa her eyes shot open and she sat up. She saw Jack sitting beside her with a worried look on his face.
"You were having a nightmare." Said Jack.
"Jack…" Elsa quickly hugged him and cried.
"It was just a dream." Whispered Jack. "You're okay."
Elsa quickly stopped hugging him.
"I'm sorry, Jack, it was a reflex." Whispered Elsa.
Jack laughed. "You are really awkward, aren't you?"
"I just don't have any experience talking to men." Said Elsa embarrassed.
Jack knew how she felt. Because of her imprisonment, she probably didn't know how to talk to others.
"It's okay." Said Jack. "Go back to sleep. I'll wake you up if something happens."
"I have a better idea," Said Elsa.
She couldn't go back to sleep. He would be there in her dreams…
Hans rode with the soldiers through the snow.
"How much further?" Asked one of the soldiers.
"Not very far." Said Hans. "Remember, the queen is dangerous. Be careful."
The soldiers looked at each other and nodded.
"So what is your idea?"
Elsa dragged him to another room.
"You show me some more tricks." Said Elsa.
"Okay…" Jack knew she didn't want to sleep. "Watch this!"
He put up his staff and little snowflakes fell from the ceiling.
Elsa smiled. "Come on, I can do better."
"Then show me ice queen." Joked Jack.
Elsa stomped with her foot on the ground and a little ice flowers appeared out of the ground.
"That's great!" Said Jack.
"Told you, I can do it better." Said Elsa.
Jack made a thinking face.
"What is it?"
"I wanted to ask you something, queen…" Said Jack. "What was that song, you sang earlier?"
Elsa blushed and whispered: "It was about letting it go…it's an old song."
"Sing it for me." Jack leaned on his staff.
"What?" Elsa raised her eyebrows.
"Please." Jack went on his knees and grabbed her hands.
"I'm not singing it for you, if you don't sing it!" Yelled Elsa.
"Alright, then we sing together…" Said Jack. "But you start."
Elsa blushed and sang quietly:
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen.
A kingdom of isolation and it looks like
I'm the queen
"Now you!" Said Elsa.
Jack sang:
The wind is howling
Like this swirling storm inside
Elsa:
Couldn't keep it in
Heavens knows I tried...
Don't let them in
Don't let them see
Jack:
Be the good boy you always have to be
Jack and Elsa:
Conceal, don't feel, don't let
Them know
Elsa and Jack:
Well, now they know!
Elsa:
Let it go
Let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Jack:
Let it go
Let it go
Turn away and slam the door
Elsa:
I don't care what they're going to say
Jack:
Let the storm rage on
Elsa and Jack:
The cold never bothered me anyway
Jack:
Ha!
Elsa made a beautiful sculpture out of ice. It looked like a butterfly.
Jack laughed and touched it with his staff. Little ice hearts appeared on the statue.
Elsa:
It's funny how some distance
Jack:
Makes everything seems small
"Hey, that was my line!" Said Elsa.
Jack stuck his tongue out.
Elsa:
And the fears that once controlled me
Elsa and Jack:
Can't get to me at all!
Elsa:
It's time to see what I can do
Jack:
To test the limits and break through!
No right No wrong
Elsa:
No rules for me
Jack:
I'm free…
"Okay, now we sing at the same time!" Said Elsa.
Elsa and Jack:
Let it go
Let it go
I'm one with the wind and sky
Let it go
Let it go
You'll never see me cry
Here I stand and here I'll stay
Elsa shot a beam of ice and a throne out of ice appeared.
"Whoa…" Said Jack.
Elsa:
My power flurries through the air into the ground!
Jack:
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around!
Elsa made a table out of ice.
Elsa:
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast!
"You really have talent" Said Jack. "You should share it with your sister and everyone!"
"No thank you!" Said Elsa.
Elsa:
I'm never going back…the past is in the past!
Jack:
Past!
Both:
Let it go
Let it go
And I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go
Let it go
Jack:
That perfect boy is gone
Elsa:
Here I stand
Jack:
In the light of day
Both:
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway.
Jack grinned. "You really have a beautiful voice."
Elsa smiled. "Thank you. You too."
"What?" Said Jack. "I never really sung…"
"Well, I think it was good for your age." Said Elsa.
"I'll let you know that I am 324." Said Jack.
"How…"
"I'm a guardian. I'm not a mortal being." Said Jack. "I died at 24. That's why."
"But you lived at home…" Said Elsa.
"Yeah, I still lived at home. We were poor. I worked to keep our home…."
"I'm sorry to hear that…" Said Elsa.
"It's okay…" Said Jack.
They were silent for a moment and then Jack started to grin.
"What?" Elsa raised her eyebrows.
Jack grabbed her hand. His hands were cold. It didn't bothered Elsa, she just did not know if he could be trusted…
He took her to the balcony.
"Jack, what are you-"
He ran and sprung off the balcony.
"Jack!" Elsa ran and looked over the balcony.
"Hello!" Jack flew in front of her. Elsa stared at him with big eyes. Did he fly?
But that was impossible!
Jack grinned. "Amazed?"
"H-how…I-I-I m-m-ean…" Stuttered Elsa.
He got closer to her and pulled her up by her waist.
"Shall we?"
"What? Jack, are you kidding me, this is way too high, I can't…"
Jack flew down. Elsa wrapped her hands around his neck and closed her eyes.
Right when they were about to hit the ground Jack flew up again.
"Elsa…open up your eyes." Said Jack.
She slowly opened up her eyes. The view was amazing.
"Whoa…" Whispered Elsa. "This is…beautiful…"
"Awesome, right?" Said Jack.
Elsa sighed.
"Let's go back."
"Jack, what…"
He darted quickly through the air again. Elsa held on tight.
They safely landed back on the balcony again.
"Elsa, we are here." Said Jack.
"You are really fast." Whispered Elsa.
She noticed how her hands were still around his neck. Their faces were just a few inches away. Jack put his hands on her cheek and slowly moved closer.
Suddenly they heard the front door open.
They both stumbled onto the ground.
"Are you okay?" Asked Jack.
"Someone came in." Said Elsa. She jumped up and ran to the stairs. Jack wanted to follow her, but was stopped by Babytooth.
"What?" Said Jack.
Babytooth squealed a little.
"Her sister is here?"
"Anna." Elsa looked down at her sister.
"Whoa, Elsa you look amazing." Said Anna.
"Thank you, I never knew what I was capable off." Said Elsa.
Anna told her that she needed to come back. Elsa smiled and told her how she couldn't.
Suddenly a living snowman ran into the room.
Elsa couldn't believe her eyes. Olaf?
Anna told her how they could live in peace, just like when they were kids.
"No, we can't." Elsa walked up the stairs.
"Elsa!" Anna ran up the stairs after her.
She ran into the big room where Jack was.
"What's wrong?" Said Jack.
Elsa walked past him.
"…For the first time in forever, I'll be right here…" Sang Anna. She made it up the stairs.
"Anna…please go back home, your life awaits…enjoy the sun and open up the gates."
Jack looked at how the sisters were arguing.
"Arendelle is in deep snow!" Yelled Anna. "No-one can get in or out!"
"What?" Said Elsa.
"But you can just unfreeze it!"
"I don't know how!
She set off a blizzard in the room.
"I'm such a fool, I can't be free!" Sang Elsa.
"Elsa, stay calm!" Yelled Jack. He couldn't see a thing.
"Can't control the curse!" Yelled Elsa.
"Elsa!" Yelled Jack.
She started to yell and grabbed her head.
The blizzard rolled up inside her and then ice shot out of her.
Jack quickly dodged it, but Anna was hit.
Elsa took a few breaths to calm down. She then turned around to see Anna grabbing her chest. A random guy and the snowman ran in.
"Who is this?" Said Elsa. "Never mind, it doesn't matter, you have to leave!"
"No, We are going back together!" Said Anna.
"How?!" Behind Elsa the ice got dark. "How are you able to stop this winter? To stop me?"
"Anna." Said Kristoff. "We have to go."
Anna shook her head. "No, I'm not leaving without you, Elsa!"
"Yes, you are."
Elsa shot ice on the ground and a giant snowman rose out of the ground.
Anna, Kristoff and Olaf gasped.
"Take our guests outside." Said Elsa.
The snowman roared and picked them up and threw them out the front door.
"Elsa, are…are you okay?" Said Jack.
"Leave." Said Elsa.
"Elsa…"
She shot a little ice beam. It almost hit him.
"Next time I won't miss." Said Elsa.
"I'm not afraid of you." Said Jack.
Elsa walked past him and said nothing.
"I'm not leaving." Said Jack.
An ice spike shot out of the ground near him.
Jack gasped and took a few steps back.
"Please, leave." Whispered Elsa.
Suddenly they heard an evil laugh. Dark mist appeared in the room and Pitch walked out of a dark corner.
"Pitch!" Yelled Elsa. "How did you find me?"
"I've been with you for years, Queen. I know where you are every minute." Said Pitch.
Jack jumped in front of Elsa. "Don't touch her!"
"Why do you care so much, Frost?" Asked Pitch. "Let me guess, the guardians sent you."
"The guardians sent you?" Asked Elsa.
"Elsa, don't listen to him." Said Jack. "Pitch is evil…"
Pitch rolled his eyes and made a dark energy ball in his hand.
"Let's take this outside, Frost." Said Pitch. "Unless you want her to get hurt."
"Fine." Said Jack. "Elsa, stay here, I'll be back soon."
He and Pitch flew off the balcony.
