Jack flew Elsa back to their castle that night. They had stayed and tried to work out a schedule for the guardians to take turns protecting the Queen. Sandy would be mornings, Tooth during the day and Jack during the night. Elsa was happy with this, she knew Bunny wouldn't want to be around her and North sort of intimidated her with his big bushy eyebrows. She liked Sandy and Tooth, and of course she liked Jack. The Ice Queen couldn't explain to anyone what she felt for Jack, but it was something. It was like he had melted that layer of frost over her heart that no one could get through. But somehow he had, and she had let him. Elsa had always believed that she was alone, all of her life she spent in confinement. She never thought anyone could love her. Anna and Jack had proved her wrong. Anna she thought. Oh I know you will be worried about me. Elsa needed to see her sister, for she missed her terribly. After all she would have forever with Jack and only a limited amount of years with Anna. I'll get Jack to take me to her in the morning.
That night the Spirit of Winter stayed up most of the night talking to Queen Elsa. Everything about her was interesting and beautiful; she looked as pure and innocent as freshly fallen snow. But underneath her exterior he knew the pain that had changed her, she wasn't as innocent as one might think. The thought of how alone and hurt she would've felt pained Jack. Why hadn't he found her earlier and helped her? Given her someone to talk to who was like her? In the end he decided it could not be helped that he wasn't there, at least he could take care of her now. They had forever. "Elle?" Elsa looked up at him. She was sat facing him with her legs around his waist. "Yes Jack what is it?" Jack chuckled. "Nothing Elsa it's just…I think I'm falling in love with you." Elsa stared at Frost wide-eyed, she loved him more than words could express but she didn't think that he could ever feel as strongly as she did. Had he just admitted it? The Queen leaned her cold forehead against his. "I love you more."
Jack kissed her then. Softly at first carefully placing his hands around her waist and circling up her back. But then he began to pick up the pace and soon they had a rhythm going. The beating of their immortal hearts matched each other's and pounded in Elsa's ears. After what seemed like forever she pulled away and planted kisses along his cheekbone to the tip of his ear and then back down to his jaw line. She finally came to a stop at his chin where she pressed her lips to once more and rested her forehead to. Jack started to make strange, soft noises under his breath that indicated to Elsa to continue. The Queen put her hands underneath his frosty sweatshirt; surprisingly he was quite muscular for someone so skinny and light on their feet. He grinned at Elsa and pulled the sweater over his head in one swift movement. She took a deep breath in. Elsa knew what was going to happen, of course she wanted it as much as Jack but he had probably done it a thousand times and well, she hadn't done it. Ever.
Frost picked her up unexpectedly and buried his face in Queen Elsa's neck; her legs were wrapped tight around his waist while he carried her over to the bedroom.
The next morning Elsa woke up screaming again. More nightmares. Only this time it was much, much, much worse. It was awful; she couldn't keep her hands from trembling. Her whole body was shaking and sweat dripped down from her nose and forehead. Queen Elsa swept a hand over her face and lay back into the pillows. She began to cry violently, still screaming till her lungs burned.
Knocking on the door. Elsa cowered in the corner of the room, "Go away Anna!" she screamed. "But Elsa I never see you anymore, please come out the door!" The thought of putting her sister in danger struck fear into the heart of young Elsa. "NO!" sharp icicles shot out from Elsa's palms and formed a semicircle around the door. She screamed again and pulled her gloves on. "Elsa…I am going to force the door open." The young princess of Arendelle's eyes widened and a no formed in her throat, but before she could let it out the door swung open and Anna ran into the room. There were two high-pitched screams and then dead silence. Blood pooled around Elsa's feet and tears welled in her eyes. She looked up at her younger sister. Anna looked as beautiful as ever, two red-brown plaits either sides of her head, ocean blue eyes and freckles splayed across her nose and cheeks. Only it wasn't her Anna, the colour was quickly draining out of her usually rosy cheeks and red was beginning to stain the front of her blue nightgown. There was also a grotesquely large spiked icicle poking out from between her ribs. Elsa screamed and ran over to her sister, but it was too late. There was too much red, too much blood. That's where it all ended.
After what seemed like hours of tears and screams Elsa realised that the castle was very quiet; too quiet. She turned over on the bed and saw Jack's empty space. Panicked, she quickly pulled herself together and searched the castle top to bottom shouting his name. "Jack Frost it's not funny, come out RIGHT NOW!" Her heartbeat pounded hard against her lungs making it hard to breathe. He wasn't here. But someone else was, Elsa turned around and gasped. It was Pitch.
When Jack had left Elsa she was fast asleep, there was no way that she looked like she was in any danger, besides he had already called tooth to take over for a few hours and she was on her way. There was just something that he needed to find out, something that involved the Easter Bunny. He felt terrible as he kissed the top of the Queens head and jumped up onto the icy balcony. Immediately it frosted over his touch, he whispered "Wind, take me to the Warren." And he was gone.
Bunny was surprised at Jack's unexpected visit. He knew Jack didn't like him very much so it must have been something important. When Frost landed Bunny gave him a welcoming smile, "Welcome Jack! What brings you here?" he said warmly. Jack however did not return the warm smile; his face was as icy as ever. "Bunny!" he began, "Explain yourself! What is it you have against Elsa? WHY DO YOU HATE HER SO MUCH?" Jack was screaming by now, his staff was poised ready to strike and frosty swirls were forming underneath his bare feet. Bunny took a step back frightened, he didn't want to tell jack the truth yet at the same time he didn't want to lie. He was in a bit of a pickle. Jack growled low in his throat, "Tell me now Bunny! This could kill my dear girl." This shocked the Easter Bunny my dear girl he thought I knew there was something going on between them. Bunny wasn't pleased by this news. At last he decided to tell Jack Frost, the Guardian of fun the truth. He took a deep breath in and exhaled. "Jack… don't you understand it is because I love you."
