Guest Reviews: Yeah Maths was horrible, thank GOD I am done with that paper. Favourite subject? Well the great thing about Uni is that we have a lot more subjects than school does. My favourite would probably be Anthropology. Although I adore Science, I am doing a degree in it. English wasn't too bad for me but I hated doing the speeches, bad memories there. Why is everyone learning about what the air is made up on? You're like the second person who reviews doing that. Yeah air is made up of a whole bunch of elements. Are you guys learning all about elements? On your question; YES ANNA IS ALIVE! She IS in this story. She plays a major role! Looks like we both have to write essays but the difference is that if I fail mine I most likely fail my paper, there's like five hundred bucks down the drain. Quick question of my own; I remember we were talking about ice creams a while back and I was wondering if you had heard about Hokey Pokey ice cream or Goody Goody Gum Drop ice cream.

EveningWish: Forgot about that mother nature thing, awesome. The thing about Pitch, hmm that is an idea. Maybe one I will steal it for either this story or a future story.

AuroraNight: Well your question about Elsa is answered in this chapter. Hmm, Jamie and Sophie, maybe like in a epilogue chapter.

ElsaTheSnowQueen2: Yep, that's what Jack found.

Guest: Wait for it, wait for it.

Chapter 7: The Ghost of Elsa

Gustav couldn't sleep. He often found that he couldn't sleep. This was probably due to the fact that he was often quite excited for the next day rather than insomnia. He took to roaming about the castle at night, looking for secret passages or hidden parts of the castle. In his search, he found a room that was often kept locked. Gustav had asked his Nanny Freja, who knew practically everything that went on inside the castle, what was the beyond the door and found it was an old bedroom belonging to his Great Aunt who died many years before he was born. His Grandmama had kept it in the same way to remember her. Gustav, and anyone else, weren't allowed inside the room. It had kind of been an obsession of Gustav's to see beyond the door and the room inside it. However he was told to leave it alone and he did. According to Freja, his Great Aunt Elsa's death was quite a dark time for his Grandmama so when his Grandmama asked him to leave it alone, he did. But there was still a part of him that wanted to see the room, maybe one day he will.

He moved through the darkened corridors of the castle. He had already explored a lot of the castle. He didn't know where he should go next. There was this interesting set of rooms in the East Wing that had been turned into some kind of storage area which meant that it was filled with all kinds of interesting things. He had only been in there once before, months ago but he had to hide as some servants had been walking past the door. Gustav had decided to leave before he was found out of his bed. He had already been told off more than once. That wasn't something he wanted to repeat.

Gustav wandered through the castle. To get to the East Wing, he had to go through the Portrait Gallery. He always loved that room. It was filled with so many wonderful pictures. As he approached the gallery, he heard voices. Gustav paused to listen. There were two voices; a man and a woman. The voices were muffled so he couldn't quite tell who they were. Gustav gently pushed open the door and he got a sight to see. There was a boy carrying a stick and had no shoes on. He was wearing a blue hoodie and brown pants. His companion was a woman wearing a cyan dress. Her hair was platinum blonde and was done in a braid. They were both staring at the portrait of his Grandmama, Grandfather, Aunts and father. They seemed to be intrigued by it.

He wondered what they were doing and more importantly, what were they doing here inside the castle. Gustav's eyes seem to move from the two strangers and onto the portrait behind them. It was of her Great Aunt Elsa, the previous Queen of Arendelle. The woman standing in the room bore a highly striking resemblance to his Great Aunt. If Gustav didn't know his Great Aunt Elsa had died many, many years ago, he would have thought that it was the same woman.

Gustav suddenly heard a noise which sounded like footprints. Maybe it was Freja coming to get him. She could have discovered that he wasn't in his bed. She did like to check on him sometimes to make sure he was alright and not roaming around the castle. The two people looked frightened when they also heard the footprints. The woman dragged the boy out of the hall. They had a look on their face that told Gustav that they knew they didn't belong here. Gustav entered the hall when the two people finally left. His thoughts kept wondering what those two people were up to and who they were. His feet lead him to the portrait of his Great Aunt Elsa. He stared up at her. She was dressed in what her Grandmama said was her coronation outfit. It was a green dress with black satin arms and Arendelle crotchets. She had a magenta cape attached her to dress. She was wearing the crown that his Grandmama wears. She was also carrying a sceptre and an orb in her hands. It looked like it was a portrait of his Great Aunt being crowned.

Gustav couldn't help but think that this woman that he saw was very similar or potentially identical to this woman. But that was impossible. She had died way before he was born. So how could it be the same woman? It can't be but then how did she bear such a striking resemblance to her? Gustav continued to stare up at his Great Aunt Elsa. He didn't know a lot about her. He did know that she had the gift to create ice and snow. That was where Olaf and Marshmallow came from. Somehow that gift hadn't been passed down any further than her. His Grandmama didn't have it neither did his father, his sisters or even his younger brother. It would have been cool to be able to conjure up ice and snow like that. If he had those powers he would put on a giant winter wonderland for all Arendelle to enjoy.

The footsteps could be heard again. Gustav decided he best be off to bed. He didn't want to be caught roaming around the castle in the middle of the night again. Nanny would be furious. He quickly darted back through the Portrait Gallery, back up through the corridors and up to his bedroom. He practically jumped into his bed, his thoughts still on the mysterious strangers that he saw tonight and just an equally mysterious Great Aunt who he wished he had known. But somehow deep inside of him, he knew it wasn't just some lookalike and he didn't know why.


Elsa and Jack headed back into Arendelle. Elsa was sure that someone was about to walk in and see them despite what Jack said about not anyone being able to see them. She had a feeling that someone had been spying on them. She didn't know why she felt like that, she just did. It would be pure nonsense of course. The footsteps did sound rather close though. Elsa didn't know what to make of it all. She just felt that there were some eyes on her. However she didn't feel it until they had looked up from the painting they were watching. They managed to slip back through the gates and into Arendelle.

"Why did we have to rush out of there so fast?" Jack said. "Old castles are the best place to explore! They always have the best secrets."

"We have a job to do," Elsa said. "Besides I had a feeling we were being watched."

"By who?" Jack sounded sceptical. "A maid? A servant?"

"I don't know," Elsa bit her lip

"Relax Elsa," Jack laughed. "There were tons of pictures around. Maybe you just felt their eyes on you."

"Maybe," Elsa wasn't sure. "Well come on. Pitch is hiding somewhere."

After a wander around Arendelle, they decided to take a rest somewhere. They camped out on a street corner. Jack put his hood up and relaxed against the building. Elsa took up a similar position. She knew she that she didn't have to sleep but she closed her eyes anyway. Jack did the same. Elsa didn't dream of all but she did have flashes of pictures in her mind. One was of the ice castle, another was of those boys that they saw in the sled, one of the Guardians, one of discovering her powers, one of Jack's smiling, one of Pitch grinning at her and the last one was of that painting they saw in the castle. Elsa couldn't think why the painting was sticking in her mind. It seemed to be important somehow. She didn't know why she thought this. The people in the painting, Elsa didn't even know them. She only knew that they were the royal family of Arendelle. She didn't know who they were or what their history was. That was all. Elsa finally managed to get her brain to settle down and relax before going to sleep.

Morning soon broke and the sun came up. Elsa and Jack woke up when the sun hit their face. They could see people already up, going about their daily business. They all passed Elsa and Jack. They didn't seem to notice them although, Elsa did notice a few children giving Jack a look to which he would grin back at the kids sending them into a grinning state. Jack seemed to be good around children. Elsa and Jack stood up and started to search for any trace of Pitch. Seemed to be a bit of a hider that Pitch. Maybe this was all a set up. Elsa was starting to think that but she got a feeling that Jack knew that Pitch was in Arendelle and Elsa never doubted Jack.

They walked down to the pier where a rather large ship had come in. Elsa didn't need to be a genius to tell that this must be the royal ship. It had the same royal emblems that Elsa had seen at the castle. Elsa and Jack decided to go take a better look at the ship so they managed to push through the crowd and get to the front. Some guards were escorting a woman that Elsa recognised as the main woman from the painting that they had seen the previous night only a lot older. She must be the Queen and the man she was with was the Crown Prince Josef according to what the crowd was yelling. So this was the Queen and her eldest son. Elsa managed to get a glimpse of them as they walked up the pathway from the docks to the streets of Arendelle.

"Well so that's the Queen and the Prince," Jack said.

"Looks like they've just come back from a holiday," Elsa observed. "Or maybe a diplomatic mission or something like that."

"Potentially," laughed Jack. "Now what about that mission you keep harping on about?"

Elsa laughed.


Anna walked into the castle of Arendelle. She and her son Josef had just come back from some time in The Southern Isles. The reason they were there was because ever since that dreadful Hans business, The Southern Isles and their King Viktor II (the son of the previous King Viktor eldest brother to Hans) had constantly been trying to make it up to Arendelle (his father before him as well). Hans had been imprisoned for his crimes, disowned and lives in jail cell. She had heard that Hans was confined to his bed due to illness which if Anna remembered correctly was pneumonia. They had been intending to stay there longer but King Viktor had gotten a sudden message from one of his younger brothers was getting married. So Anna decided to give the family some space during this time. Anna and her family had been invited to the wedding which was to take place sometime next year.

Anna entered the castle and was greeted by her daughter-in-law, Amara, who was carrying her youngest grandson Henrik who was only born a couple of months ago, which was just before she headed off to The Southern Isles. Anna greeted them both with smiles before she headed into the dining room for breakfast. Her other grandson, Gustav, who was six years old, was waiting for them there. He looked excited as ever to see Anna and his Papa. Anna sat down with Josef while Kristoff came into the room.

"Hello," he said to Anna.

"Hello," Anna smiled back at him. Kristoff walked over to her and gave her a small kiss on the lips while Josef did the same to his wife. After they were all seated, the food and mail was all served.

"Oh," Amara said reading a little. "Mama and Papa have written to me."

"How are Rapunzel and Eugene?" Anna asked her sipping her tea. "I haven't seen them in a while."

"They're coming to see the baby," Amara said. She grinned over at her son who was in a high chair next to them.

"Oh good," Anna said. "They're always welcome here."

Amara grinned. "I'll write to them after breakfast."

"So what has everyone else been up to?" Anna asked.

"Strange things Grandmama," Gustav piped up.

"Strange things?" Anna repeated. "What strange things are these?"

"Firstly," Gustav said. He sounded so important. Everyone gave Gustav their utmost attention. "Jeremias and I found out that someone was in the Ice Castle the other day probably left just before we were there."

Anna tensed up at the mention of Elsa's Ice Castle. She hadn't been there in over forty years, not since the day that she and Elsa went there. The castle had too many ghosts for Anna. She couldn't set foot in that place ever again but that didn't stop the rest of her family going up there. The castle had sort of become legend or icon of Arendelle. So naturally it was going to seek a lot of attention. No one outside of Anna's family, to Anna's knowledge, had ever been in there. It was rather hard to get there and not many people were willing to go. Anna lowered her tea and set it on the table and noticed that everyone was looking at her.

"Well," she said trying not let her voice shake, "that is interesting."

"Wait," Gustav said, "it gets better. The room with the chandelier was covered in snow and we found snowmen including one that looked just like Olaf. It could walk and talk and everything."

Anna was even more confused. The only person she knew that could do that was long since dead. So how could Gustav find a living snowman? Could it have been leftover due to Elsa's time in the castle after she ran away when she accidently revealed her powers at her coronation? Or maybe Elsa was playing around with her powers afterwards and made it. That could be the only logical explanation.

"That's…interesting," Anna said taking another sip of tea.

"So honey," Amara said noticing Anna's expression, "what other strange things have you noticed?"

"I saw two people last night in the Portrait Gallery," Gustav said.

"Who?" Kristoff asked his grandson.

"A boy I did not recognise and Great Aunt Elsa!" Gustav answered.

Everyone froze in the position they were in. Anna had frozen with her teacup to her lips. Elsa? Did her grandson see someone who had been dead for forty years? Just hearing anything to do with Elsa was making Anna well up inside, get all shaken and bring back so many memories, not all of them were good. The day that Elsa died was the worst day in her life. She kept thinking it was her fault for her death, if only she had been faster to grab her. Elsa had saved her life and that caused her to give up hers. It was a day she wanted to forget and try and move on from but that was impossible.

"Sweetie," Amara said to him, "your Great Aunt Elsa died, many years ago."

"Oh no it was her," Gustav said. "She was wearing this beautiful cyan dress with some kind of cape attached to it. Her platinum blonde hair was done up in a braid and I thought I saw snowflakes added to it."

Gustav had described her perfectly. Anna got the chills. Anna suddenly got to her feet and attracted the attention of everyone.

"I'm sorry," Anna said. "Work beckons."

Anna quickly left the room. She wiped a tear from her eye as she went. Elsa's death was still quite painful for her. She tried to distract herself from Elsa but she kept hovering over Anna. Anna was generally worried by what Gustav had said. Did he see Elsa's ghost? Or was he simply mistaken?


Kristoff was looking for his wife. It was quite late and he wanted to remind her of that. Being the Prince Consort, he was often quite busy and so he hadn't seen her all day. He knew that Anna was hiding from everyone though. The things that had been said at the breakfast table had upset her. Elsa's death had affected Anna greatly. Kristoff didn't have to look far to find her. He found her in the Portrait Galley staring up at that picture of her. Kristoff walked up to her and placed his hand on her shoulder. She gripped it tightly with her own hand.

"I just miss her so much," Anna said almost crying.

"I know," Kristoff said gently.

"I know they say that time heals all wounds but I just can't," Anna let out some tears. She turned around and buried her face into Kristoff's chest. Kristoff drew his arms around her and held her closely.

"It's okay," Kristoff said. "I miss her too."


Night fell once again on their second day in Arendelle and Elsa and Jack were no close to finding Pitch than inventing a flying machine. Just when they had almost given up hope that they were ever going to find Pitch, it happened. They were walking down a random street of Arendelle when Elsa got a chilling feeling and the hairs on the back of her neck stood on end. A small breeze rippled through the air. The hanging sign for the local bar started to go back and forwards giving off a creaking sort of noise. Elsa had a feeling that someone was watching her again. She kept turning around, expecting to see someone but she never did. She started to get a bad feeling about everything.

"You okay?" Jack asked.

"I don't know," Elsa said slowly.

When Elsa looked back in the direction they were walking, she heard the sound of quickened footsteps. A black figure came into view which slowly transformed into a man. He was gripping his head and had a terrified expression on his face.

"Sir?" Elsa said forgetting that he probably couldn't see her. "Are you okay?"

"It's coming," the man said ignoring Elsa. "It's coming."

"Sir?" Elsa said again. She was utterly confused by the man's expression. He looked as if he had frightened out of his skull. She and Jack turned slowly towards each other.

"He was full of fear," Elsa said.

"And babbling," Jack said. "Could-"

His sentence was never finished as a blackened cloud suddenly appeared in front of them. A tall, skinny man with black hair stepped out.

Pitch Black.

Elsa tensed herself as she stared into his coal coloured eyes. There was hatred in all her looks. Pitch kept smiling at her while drumming his fingers against each other.

"It has only begun," Pitch said.

"Stop it now Pitch," Jack said fiercely.

"Why?" Pitch said. "Especially since I've having so much…fun." He put great emphasise on that last word. "I'll think I give you a clue to who I'm going for next." He had that smile that Elsa hated so much on his face. "Someone extremely close to your little friend Jack."

The black smoke consumed Pitch again and once again he vanished from sight.
