When Rapunzel woke up with a start; she had her sketchbook in her hands. Why's this here? She opened it up to reveal a picture of a boy with white hair, pale blue eyes, a dark blue jacket, brown pants, and a staff that looked… just like Jack's… When did I draw this? She flipped the page to see a page of numbers. What does this mean? Suddenly her head started spinning, and it all faded to blackness.

" -PUNZEL! RAPUNZEL!"

Someone was shouting at her. She opened her eyes and saw four blurry faces. Wait… Four? Jack? She bolted upright, and knocked into someone's face.

"Ouch!"

"Sorry Albus." Rapunzel said as she rubbed her throbbing forehead.

"Don't worry about it, Blondie." Al said slightly smiling while rubbing his forehead as well.

"Where's Jack?" Rapunzel asked looking around. The only people there were Merida, Hiccup, and Albus.

"What do you mean? He hasn't been here. Last time I saw him he was with Elsa."

"But- but, I saw four people!"

"What are ye talking about Punz?" Merida asked. "Jack stopped hanging out with us! He completely ignores us! Why would he be 'ere right now?!"

Rapunzel started to cry silent tears. "I-I'm sorry…" She said quietly. "I-"

"MERIDA DUNBROUCH!" Madam Pomfrey stormed into the hospital wing. "Leave right now! You are upsetting my patients!"

"Rotten hag…" Merida muttered as she picked up her bags and left.

"Albus and I have to go too Punz." Hiccup said. "Our classes start soon."

"Uh, yeah. That's fine." Rapunzel said. "Tell me what Professor Thiana says will you?"

"Sure." They left leaving Rapunzel alone.

"Madam Pomfrey?"

"Yes dearie?"

"Um… May I leave now? I feel much better."

Madam Pomfrey checked Rapunzel's blood pressure and temperature. "Yes, you are free to go."

"Thank you!" Rapunzel said as she gathered her things and left. Quickly, she headed to the Gryffindor common room when something caught her eye. A shadow was headed right towards her!

"Jack!"

(. _ .)

Jack was skipping class when he heard the sound of a window breaking. Sensing something was wrong he jumped down from the tree he had been napping in and headed to where the noise had come from. When he reached the broken window a shadow jumped out at him. A nightmare! Jack shot ice from his staff, but for some reason it had no effect on the nightmare. No! This never happened before! The nightmare ran at him, and shot an icy blast at him. Jack dodged it, but it grazed his hair freezing the tips with black ice. What is this? This isn't a normal nightmare! Jack jumped through the broken window and quickly froze a thick layer of ice over it. He watched through his ice as the nightmare ran away and into the Forbidden Forest. What was that? He breathed a sigh of relief, as he turned around to see…

"RAPUNZEL!"

(OoO)

Pitch was taking a stroll when he saw his nightmare return.

"You found her? Good."

Waving his wand, he produced another nightmare.

"Take this message to Gothel." He commanded. "Your daughter is found. Jack Frost will be killed. All thanks to my secret weapon… Come to me and you shall have your eternal youth."

The nightmare raced off.

"Why don't you come out of your hiding place now?"

"You noticed me?"

"I can tell you still have fear for me, but this is all to protect your little sister isn't it?"

"Yes."

"Thank you for lending me your powers… Elsa."

"I was promised a safe sister and a share in that eternal youth. How could I refuse? I'm enduring Jack Frost's flirts and stupidity. He keeps trying to hit on me! It's annoying! I want to snap at him, but then I remember it's all for you…" Elsa complained.

"Just a little more, my snowflake. Gothel will join me, and I will give you all you ever wanted."

"You will?"

"Of course I will."

"I love you Pitch. I'm counting on you to keep my sister safe."

"I… love you also." Pitch said grinning coldly.

Elsa gave him a quick kiss and left.

"I love you too… my pawn." Pitch said as he wiped the kiss off his lips.

( _ )

Jack lifted Rapunzel off the ground; she had so much blood oozing from her cuts. Rapunzel's eyes fluttered a bit.

"…Jack…?"

"I'm here Punz."

All of a sudden, Rapunzel stiffened and her eyes shot open. They were filled with a strange golden light.

"You shall face darkness and demons of new

Including the love in your heart

To death will you part leaving behind

The flower, the arrow, the dragon, the wizard, and the snow

The flower is cut

The arrow is shot

The dragon is flown

The wizard is found

And the snow is death

To all but to one."

Rapunzel crumpled in his arms, the light leaving her eyes causing them to become cold and dark.

"Rapunzel! What just happened? PUNZ!"

For a second she seemed to stop breathing.

"J-Jack… the song…"

"What song?"

"Flower… gleam… a-and glow… Let your p-power shine… Make…make…"

Rapunzel's hair had started glowing, making her look like an angel, if she wasn't in pain.

"… the… clock reverse…"

Her breath faltered; the glow faded.

"PUNZ!"

Another voice entered the room.

"Quite useless aren't you… Jackson Overland Frost." It was a woman's voice. She sounded like she was around 60 years old. It was a voice he had never heard before.

"Who are you?"

"Just someone you might want to give a little respect to. I'm going to save her Jackson."

"You can? How?"

"Even if I want to destroy you, I cannot let my flower die."

"How can I trust you?"

"Trust me, Frost. I could kill you right now, but it would be more fun for the prophecy to play out."

"That was a prophecy?"

"Yes, now step aside stupid boy!"

Jack was thrown across the floor.

"HEY!"

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

Rapunzel's hair started glowing again. The voice sounded different… like she was becoming younger.

"Heal what has been hurt… Change the fate's design… Save what has been lost… Bring back what once was mine… What once was… Mine! MINE!" The voice cackled. "At last! My powers have returned!"

"Who are you?!" Jack shouted.

A chunk of black ice was shot in his direction, barely missing him.

"That was just a warning. Stay away from my flower." The voice said darkly.

"Who are you?" Jack asked trying to locate the voice.

Good-bye, Jackson… Enjoy your life while you have it." The voice sang in a sing-songy voice.

"Wait!" Jack yelled. "Come back!"

A black sand-smoke raced around the room and broke through Jack's ice window, as he tried to shoot his frost power at it.

"Jack?" A weak voice called out to him.

"Punz! Are you okay?"

"…Were you in the hospital wing when I had fainted earlier today…?"

"… Yeah… You could see me?"

"Why wouldn't I be able to?"

"Well… When others don't believe in me, I become invisible to them."

"JACK FROST AND RAPUNZEL! WHY AREN'T YOU IN CLASS?!"

The two looked up to see a very angry Professor Bunny.

"Bunny." Jack said in his most serious voice. "Call the others. We need to talk. Meet me in North's office in about 30 minutes."

.

Class was let out early that day, causing hundreds of cheering student traffic in the halls.

"Rapunzel!" Merida cried as she spotted her friend next to a broken window; and then… she saw Jack.

"FROST…" She growled. "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO RAPUNZEL?"

"Merida, please calm down!" Rapunzel said, as she stepped between the two.

"Rapunzel!"

"Blondie!"

Hiccup and Albus joined them.

"Blondie are you okay?" Albus asked as he pulled Rapunzel into a hug. "You aren't hurt are you?"

Rapunzel blushed, quite aware that Jack was watching.

"I'm fine Albus." She said. After a moment of hesitation she hugged him back.

Jack watched the two and felt a twinge of irritation. No Jack, you're not jealous… You just wish the two would stop flirting with each other in the middle of the hall.

"Hey Punz!" Jack exclaimed with a hint of annoyance. "Who's this?"

Jack couldn't be jealous… Is he?

"Um, Jack I don't think you met… This is Albus. Albus… this is Jack."

Albus's face hardened. He had heard of Jack Frost, the guy who ditched Rapunzel and her group of friends for another girl - a Slytherin.

"So… you're the famous Jack Frost." Albus said with distaste.

"Yeah, so?"

"You ditched Rapunzel and her friends for a Slytherin girl?!" Albus said darkly – his voice rising.

"She has a name!" Jack said angrily.

"WHO CARES ABOUT HER NAME?! YOU WOULD RATHER HAVE A GIRL THAN BE FRIENDS WITH–" Albus shouted.

"And who are you to judge my life?!" Jack yelled. "She's hot, clever… She's… She's like ME! SHE UNDERSTANDS! PLUS I MADE MORE THAN ENOUGH FRIENDS JUST BY KNOWING HER!"

"Jack… Albus… Please! Stop fighting!" Rapunzel said trying to get in between the two, when an arrow flew above their heads and lodged itself in Jack's staff.

"WHAT THE HELL–"

"SHUDDAP ALL OF YE!"

The two turned to look at a steaming Merida.

"What the hell happened here?!" She yelled.

"I'd like to know that myself…" Hiccup said weakly.

"I left the hospital wing…" Rapunzel started. "And while, I was walking down the hall, something attacked me… it looked like a shadow."

"It was a nightmare." Jack grumbled. "It broke the window, injuring Punz in the process. It escaped towards the Forbidden Forest."

"The Forbidden Forest?" Hiccup asked looking pale. Oh no! If they conduct some kind of search in the Forbidden Forest I don't know where I'll hide him!

"Yeah. After it was gone, I found Punz – bleeding to death. She spouted some kind of nonsense, like a prophecy or something.

"What did she say?" Hiccup asked.

"Something about a flower, arrow, dragon, wizard, and snow…"

"Jack!" Professor Thiana called. "We're all gathered in the office! Come on!"

"Okay." Jack said. "You should come Punz."

"Okay…" Rapunzel agreed; she turned towards her friends. "Please come with me." She said clearly uncomfortable about being alone with Jack.

"Well, Blondie, you give me no choice… I'm coming." Albus said glancing at Merida and Hiccup.

"I'll go Punz…" Merida stated. "But only fer ye. And to beat up Jack if he makes ye cry again… and to hear that prophecy."

"I want to hear more about this prophecy myself." Hiccup added.

"Thanks guys…" Rapunzel said as she hugged her friends.

"Punz!" Jack yelled from the end of the hall. "You coming?"

"Uh, yeah!" She called back. "Yeah…" she whispered.

With her friends behind her she knew that she could do anything, including facing her teachers. Especially Mr. Pitch Black. She glanced up at Jack as they went down the hall and realized his hair was turning white.

What…?

Me: Dude, I small kine hated Jack in this chapter.

Albus: Me too, so… Punz likes him?

Me: He is a jerk sometimes, especially when he's jealous, but over all, he's a pretty nice and fun guy.

Merida: So he's a mushroom.

Me: Exactly.

Jack: Who's a mushroom?

Me: You. You're a fungi!

Jack: Well, duh. I'm the guardian of fun!

Me: Jack, Jack, Jack, I mean; you are a fungus – fungi, not a fun, guy.

Albus: I agree. You're the type of fungus found in the forest.

Merida: The kind my family eats for dinner.

Hiccup: Hey Jack, if you're a new type of fungus, can I draw you?

*Jack is silent for a moment… then he finally explodes*

Jack: WHAT THE HELL?! SHUT UP!

Me: Jack, please don't swear in front of the reviewers, it's not very professional.

Jack: Who cares about being professional?

Me: Ohh, grumpy. Well I can always get back at you.

*I wave my pencil and Jack now has on Rapunzel's dress and a sack on his head*

Jack: HUH? WHY IS IT ALL DARK?! CUT THE CRAP EPONINE!

Me: Oh, dear, you're still swearing

*waves pencil again and now his mouth is covered with duct tape*

Me: Here Merida, a new target for target practice! *puts an apple on his head*

*Merida shoots the apple off Jack's head*
