here it is, so sorry again that it took this long, if you read the previous 'chapter' it explains why Disclaimer that I do not own the brave, rise of the guardians, how to train your dragon or tangled...I wish :)
Rapunzel opened her eyes to see Toothless wagging his tail at the bottom of the tree house.
She let out a giggle and with Toothless reaching up his head for her to climb down with she gave him a grateful scratch behind his ears right where Hiccup had showed her once. She noticed that Hiccup was nearby and the sun was low on the horizon.
Three kids were trying on his Viking helmet and making growling noises as they crept up behind the friendly dragon.
Toothless turned and licked the kid closest to him sending the child on their butt laughing.
The kids began squealing as the large dragon sniffed around following them and Hiccup nodded to Rapunzel.
"Merida? Jack? Emily?" Rapunzel questioned.
Hiccup smiled, "I offered to give Emily a ride on Toothless and when she and Jack came around they saw the skates."
Rapunzel sighed, "So they're down by the lake?"
Hiccup shook his head, "Not yet but Merida is searching the castle for spare pairs so we can all go.
As if on cue Jack and Emily became visible, they made their way to Hiccup and Rapunzel. Emily was holding Jack's hand tightly. Jack had on a brown cloak that came down to just above his elbows. Again without shoes he didn't cringe too much at the lightly snow covered ground.
"Hey guys." Jack greeted, he gave an extra grin to Rapunzel that warmed her heart and her cheeks. That signature grin would never get old.
"Are you going to become an ice princess?" Rapunzel asked kneeling down to Emily's eye level.
Emily giggled and hugged Rapunzel. "A princess? Just like you and Merida?"
Rapunzel nodded and looked around. She walked over to pick up a few twigs and in a few mere minutes she had woven the twigs into a small circle which she placed on Emily's head. "Emily Overland you are now and hereby the Ice Princess."
Emily squealed and Hiccup let out a chuckle as Toothless neared them followed by several children returning the village.
As Hiccup and Rapunzel began to follow Toothless and the children they looked back at Jack who was being dragged by Emily. Their skates already slung over their shoulders.
Jack laughed, "We'll meet you at the lake." Glancing back at his eager young sister.
Hiccup nodded and turned.
Rapunzel sighed, "Be careful." She was going to probably be down there with them in a few minutes but she still felt the overprotecting nature creep into her conscious.
Jack smiled that eye catching smile as Emily continued to pull him excitedly. "We will!"
With that they ran their separate ways.
Rapunzel and Hiccup watched as the kids followed Toothless down the streets, Hiccup let them go. He had a feeling that Toothless wouldn't really enjoy skating especially when the dragon had a hard enough time getting around with the ice puddles crushing under his weight.
Merida was walking their way and she broke out into a run with three pairs of skates. "Hey Rapunzel, you're awake!"
Rapunzel and Hiccup returned the smile.
"I got you a pair of skates too, did you sleep well?" Merida gave Rapunzel a mischievous look that made Rapunzel blush a deep red. She took the skates and Hiccup let out a laugh, "Come on; let's go."
The three friends were idly chatting to each other as they walked down the hill and through the forest to the lake. They all stopped dead in their tracks upon hearing Emily's scared little voice.
"Jack!"
The three sprinted down the hill to see Jack's skates behind him as he stood barefoot on the ice. Emily was a ways away with her feet turned in like a duck with her wavering skates. Her eyes locked on her older brother, full of fear as tears threatened to escape her brown eyes.
Jack leaned forward a little on his knees. "It's okay; it's okay, don't look down...just look at me." He coaxed.
"Jack I'm scared!" Emily whimpered as the ice beneath her cracked slightly.
"I know; I know." Jack replied soothingly, he tried to take a step forward but the ice responded by creating a slight crack. He looked down with concerned eyes at the ice but looked up forcing a small smile. "But you're going to be alright, you're not going to fall in. Uh...we're going to have a little fun instead."
Emily let out a little sob, "No we're not!"
"Would I ever trick you?" Jack reassured.
"Yes! You always play tricks!" She cried.
Jack laughed a little, "Well, not...not; not this time. I promise, I promise you're going to be...you're going to be fine." He let out a small sigh.
Emily kept silent looking back at Jack. He starred back with hope in his eyes.
"You have to believe in me." He coaxed.
Emily let out another whimper and Jack raised his hand towards her even though it did little to close the distance between them. "You wanna play a game? We're going to play hopscotch; like we play every day... It's as easy as..."
Emily began to smile slightly at Jack who cautiously reached his leg out and shifted weight, "One, two..." Jack wheeled back a little to make Emily let out a giggle. "Three!" He grunted jokingly.
He picked up the long hooked staff on the ice and crouched. "Now it's your turn." He began to reach out with the staff.
Emily looked down as Jack began to count she tried to move forward as she let out a gasp.
"That's it; that's it...Two..." He reached as far as he could. And with a little more he hooked the staff around his sister and flung her across the lake and near the shore. "three!"
Emily turned and a big smile spread across her face as Jack returned one.
Merida, Hiccup and Rapunzel all let out a breath they didn't know they had been holding.
Just as they relaxed and Emily let out a small giggle Jack's eyes widened. The ice beneath him gave without warning sending him down into the deep frozen waters.
"JACK!" Emily screamed. The other three echoed the cry of surprise and panic.
Emily began to go out onto the ice and Merida raced around the lake to grab her, "No Emily, it's not safe!"
Hiccup began to run away, "I need to get Toothless!" He yelled after his dragon hoping he was close enough to hear his cries for help.
Merida brought the crying chid back to Rapunzel who was already twisting her hair, "I need you to help me." Rapunzel breathed not realizing she was hyperventilating.
Merida nodded and bunched up the rest of Rapunzel's hair throwing it onto the ice where it reached the hole in the surface. Rapunzel and Merida watched as nothing happened.
"Flower gleam and glow; let your powers-" Rapunzel sang in a desperate tone and at a blurring pace as her long blonde hair began to glow Merida. Pointed as Hiccup came swooping down on Toothless.
Merida backed away holding Emily as she sobbed. Rapunzel took Hiccup's outstretched hand and hoisted herself up. She secured herself and as Toothless hovered over the hole she let her hair fall deeper into it. The glow began to fade from her enchanted hair.
"No!" Rapunzel began to cry, she sang her song again as it glowed again, after five minutes of Rapunzel re-singing the tune Hiccup put a hand on her shoulder.
They landed near the pond as Merida lowered to her knees woefully.
Emily broke out of Merida's hold and raced back to her house.
Rapunzel stumbled off of Toothless, her cheeks stained with tears she fell to the ground she picked herself up preparing to go in after him.
Hiccup stopped her and took off his own fur pelt which Merida held gravely.
He gave the two of them a sigh and ran off onto the ice; the sun was almost completely behind the far off mountains and the moon began to shine bright.
Hiccup slipped on the ice and just as he dived into the hole he couldn't see a thing. It was crushingly cold, the darkness surrounded him and he pulled his head up desperately for air as the cold water stiffened his joints. Rapunzel threw her soaked hair out to him and sang as the warmth carried from his fingers to his body and he pulled himself up and out.
He collapsed on the lakeside with heavy breathing. "It's so dark...so cold down there..."
Merida put his fur pelt around him as Toothless nudged him affectionately with his head.
Rapunzel gathered up her hair and gasped as the moon shone onto the lake.
The hole was frozen over already and Merida backed up holding tightly onto Hiccup.
Their eyes stuck on the spot where a crackling of ice began .the ice was pushed up as an unknown force lifted something out of the ice.
The shape of the ice that was pushed up seemed to be in the form of a boy but they saw nothing in front of them over the lake.
Jack let out short gasps as he linked open his stinging eyes. He felt the wind slow down and he was brought gently down to stand on the ice where it re-froze.
The three friends gasped as the ice froze itself again.
Jack looked up at the bright luminous moon as he felt something stir inside him.
Jack Frost
The three friends left in silence not seeing Jack in his reborn form. They disappeared into the shadows of the woods as Jack looked down to see a wooden hooked staff.
He touched it with his foot and it emitted an icy cold that Jack began to realize he wasn't affected by. In fact he felt comforted by it and he let out a laugh as he picked up the staff crouching as he marveled in wonder. He dropped one end by accident and it hit the ice to spread another thick coat of ice and frost over the frozen lake. Jack let out a louder laugh as he grabbed the staff and began running around the ice swirling it and eyeing the ice as the staff began creating patterns of beautiful crystal. Just as he slowed he was shot up by the wind and he gasped. "Whoa!" He looked around at the big full moon and over the bright sliver lit landscape. He steadied himself and laughed as he gasped at the amazement.
He suddenly fell back to the ground caught by a tree branch he clutched while he grunted at the impact. He began to chuckle as a light caught his eye. He looked over to see the lights of a town. He jumped and tried to balance himself as the wind jolted him forward and downward. Once he hit the ground at the edge of the village he stumbled.
Trying too quickly to regain himself he slipped again but this time he fell into a small snow bank with his brown cloak over his head. He pulled himself up with a light hearted laugh and brushed off the fresh snow on his shoulders.
He walked around seeing villagers go about their business almost eerily avoiding eye contact with him.
He waved at some greeted some but frowned as he received no reply. He turned to see a little boy darting right for him; he knelt down with a warm greeting smile. "Hey could you tell me where-" Jack gasped as the boy ran right through him. The pain of it was as if a cold rush of water slammed into his tightened stomach.
He frowned and stumbled up as more began to walk by him more than just dismissively... He was unseen and unheard. He jolted away from the people overwhelmed by the discovery and the feeling of being brushed off as non-existent.
He gripped his staff nervously and began to walk away from the small village into the darkness turning back in confusion he closed his trembling mouth and made his way into exile.
