Sorry for the short chapter. I didn't have much time to write since I had deadlines coming up. I promise to have more next chapter.


Elsa was looked at by a doctor before she was told that she had a cold. Elsa never had colds. The last time she had a cold she had almost fallen off the bell tower. That wasn't a nice memory. Jack had followed them into the castle, but no one noticed him. Olaf questioned him at the gates though. The people around thought that he was finally going senile.

"You're going to have to rest. Pulling an all nighter two nights in a row made your cold worse. Please take it easy for a couple of days." The doctor packed up his bag and moved away from Elsa's bed side. Elsa nodded and Anna saluted. She turned her bright eyes to Elsa and smiled.

"I'll take over your workload for now." Elsa smiled, but shook her head. Jack was sitting with Kristoff playing a game of cards. Apparently Kristoff didn't notice Jack slipping cards up his sleeves. Anna pouted for a bit before finally giving in. Elsa knew that Anna couldn't handle the workload that Elsa usually had. She sneezed, and Anna handed her a tissue. There was a knock on the door, and before Elsa could answer Quentin burst in.

"THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT!" He roared. Elsa, Anna, and Kristoff jumped at his explosion. Quentin marched right up to Elsa's bedside. "You go anywhere without a guard and things like this happen." Elsa tilted her head in confusion.

"I don't think guards can stop a cold." Anna giggled, and Jack watched, something flashed in his eyes. Quentin ran a hand through his disheveled hair and sighed.

"I'm sorry, but can I speak to you alone your highness?" Anna had a strangled gasp and Kristoff rose an eyebrow. Elsa was amused. She couldn't read Jack's expression. He looked surprised, but it wasn't clear. She wanted to see where this went. Since Quentin hadn't said anything, Elsa assumed that he couldn't see Jack. It was weird and strange to her.

"Fine. Anna, Kristoff, please leave." Kristoff went for the door with Anna following hesitantly behind. Both of them seemed to completely forget about Jack who relaxed into his chair. When they were gone, Quentin relaxed.

"You're a reckless queen." Elsa made herself comfortable. This was going to be good. She glanced over to Jack. He was covering a smile with his hand. She rolled her eyes. She wasn't reckless. "You go out without someone to protect you. You don't have anyone to watch your back." Elsa tried to interrupt, but he held up his hand. "I understand that you have your powers, but those won't help in all situations. I just want to protect you. All of us do, but how can we protect you when you don't give up the opportunity to?"

"I don't give you the opportunity because I really don't need protection." Elsa glanced over at Jack again. Quentin followed her gaze. He walked over to where Jack was. Jack stood still. Quentin squinted, as if trying to see something. Elsa's throat was dry. He couldn't see Jack right? Quentin reached out, and Jack tried to move out of the way, but Quentin hit his shoulder.

Nothing.

It was like his hand passed right through Jack. Jack cringed, and backed away. He had forgotten what that felt like. How it felt when someone walked right through him. When it happened, he felt like a ghost. He may as well have been. He looked as Elsa. She was already trying to figure out what happened. Quentin turned back to Elsa.

"I just want you to understand your highness. You can rely on others. You don't have to do everything alone." Jack watched as Elsa nodded. Quentin left the room, and Anna came back in with Kristoff.

"He's right Elsa. We're here for you too. Just call on us and we'll be there." Elsa wasn't listening anymore. She ignored Anna.

"What was that Jack? Why did he just pass through you?" Jack winced, and his eyes filled with pain again.

"The people who can't see me, can't touch me. I can't touch them. I'm like a ghost to them. Just a myth, or a legend. One that isn't true." Elsa regretted asking him. She put a hand to her mouth while Anna's eyes filled with tears. Kristoff didn't understand.

"Jack. I'm so sorry." Anna spoke. Elsa finally understood. He was alone. He was always alone with nobody to talk to, no one to listen to. He was all alone. Not anymore. He wasn't going to feel alone anymore. "You can stay here as long as you want. You don't have to be alone Jack."

"Thank you, but I actually have to leave for a bit. I'll come back though." Jack smiled. Elsa froze. He had to leave? Where was he going to go? She sat up straight.

"Well, then. We'll just wait for you." She tried to make it seem like she didn't care, but Anna saw right through her. She giggled,and turned back to Jack.

"Yeah. This is your home now."


Tee hee hee. Where is Jack going? (I may not know myself...) LOVE YOU GUYS!
