A/N: Okay, I was looking at the traffic graph and saw this story has gotten over 300 views. I know that barely means anything but it kind of amazes me. It's kind of inspiring... Anyways, this chapter will have many twists and turns. We might even be visiting a couple villagers...

But just for a twist we will be following the Queen into the courtyard for a little a bit.


The Queen walked down the corridor racking her head as to why she would be needed in the courtyard of the castle. At anything she should be wanted in the meeting room at least.

Her husband smiled as she entered the garden.

It was so beautiful during the summer. The sunflowers were blooming beautifully this year and the roses were huge near the fountain.

"What is it?" She asked.

There were several guards hanging around the scene too and she was very confused about that.

Liffen walked over to her and whispered something in her ear. "Turns out, the woman Jack froze is causing a lot of attention."

Her eyes went wide and her hand shot up to her mouth. "What are we going to do?"

Suddenly, they heard a voice near the door. "Maybe I should just unfreeze her..." Jack's voice startled almost everyone.

The King turned to face Jack. "Who is she?"

Jack walked into the courtyard sighing. "She's just-" He cut himself off making the King more curious.

"Jack?" The Queen looked at the winter spirit with curiosity lingering in her eyes too.

"She's Rapunzel's mother..."

The King and Queen gasped. "You froze her mother?" The King sounded angry with Jack.

Jack felt small under the King's tone and he grasped his staff harder making a ton a snowflakes fall from the sky. "She was going to take Rapunzel home!" He suddenly realized how stupid he sounded and stopped the royals from replying by going on. "She didn't want to go home!"

The Queen sighed and looked at Jack. "Well, we have do something about her..."

Jack looked up at the sky. "I'll just unfreeze her..." He repeated. "Even though she was going to hurt one of the citizens..." He turned around and started to walk off, until he heard someone behind him yell.

"What?" The Queen ran in front of him. "What do you mean?"

Jack smirked and looked at the Queen. "Idris, she was going harm on of the villagers." He paused. "Not to mention...Rapunzel..."

The Queen gasped and ran in front of Jack. "What?"

"She kept tightening her grasp on her wrist..." He met her eyes and continued. "I had to freeze her. I had no choice..." He fiddled with a splinter on his staff and then looked at The Queen again.

She didn't look happy but she didn't look mad either. She exhaled putting her hand on her hips and Jack knew that she was serious then. "Fine. Unfreeze her...but bring her here." She looked at her husband. "We need to do a speech to calm down the Kingdom..." She took her husband's hand and walked off.

Jack closed his eyes and shot up out of the courtyard then.

When he was above her mother there was a bunch of people hanging around the frozen woman. From his view, he could see a few kids poking her with sticks and adults just watching them like she was just a normal ice sculpture.

Jack landed his staff and watched the kids as they prodded and poked her. However, just as someone was going to touch her he jumped off and quickly flung a gust of cold air in their direction. The teenaged girl went flying towards the rest of the people.

All of a sudden everyone started running away but the daring stayed.

"What the heck is wrong with you people?" Jack made another wind gust go their way and some children spun off laughing and giggling. Jack sighed watching the people and ran his hand down his face looking at the people. How could he get these people out of here?

He finally got an idea. He was the spirit of winter! He made a snowball and threw it in the air above a kid. It came back down and hit the kid in the head.

"Hey, what was that?" The kid looked at the sky and another snowball plopped on his face. Fear washed over the kid's face and grabbed a girl's hand. "Come on Jeanie, Let's go!" They both ran off and some others ran off too.

Jack sighed as everyone left and he turned back to Gothel. "Now, let's unfreeze you." He knelt down and tapped her foot. She started defrosting and he watched as her ankle regained movement. When she was all the way unfrozen Jack wished she could see him. He looked at her eyes as they narrowed into slits. "Rapunzel..." She growled at her name and started to look around. She walked around a little bit and then stopped short. "Where is she?" Stomping her foot, the lady rolled her eyes up to the sky.

Jack involuntarily replied. "She is at the castle..." He trailed off.

However, a man with armor was coming towards her. The woman gasped and started running. "No! Stop!" The guard yelled. Jack could see a couple more guards behind him.

The winter spirit flew in front of her and then picked her up by her arms. The lady immediately started screaming at the top of her lungs. "What is happening!" She yelled. She kept screaming and the guards just watched as she flew off.

"Frost..." One of the guards growled.

"Get me down!" She tried clawing at the air but it was no use.

Jack laughed and then dropped her. "Whatever you say!" He watched her scream as she fell towards the lake. He swooped down and was next to her as she kept falling.

"No, no, no!" She screamed again and then plunged into the water.

He stood on the water and ice formed beneath his feet. After a few seconds he started worrying. "Where is she?" He turned around looking through the blue water.

Finally, she came up after a few minutes and Jack smiled at her. "Hello!" He bent down and tugged her up making the water freeze more. He stepped back on the ice moving some so she can stand on it too.

She squealed a little when she felt a hand that wasn't there. "Who's there?" She growled. "I don't believe in ghosts..." The winter spirit could hear some quiver in her voice.

His smile grew bigger. "Of course you don't. I am not a ghost." He sighed. "If only you could see me..." He watched as she looked around at the surrounding waters.

"Get me off of this ice clump!" She swung her hands around, but they just went through Jack.

Jack huffed as the cold surrounded him. "That's it!" He flew up and swung his staff around and froze the water into shapes of letters. Gothel squinted at the random letters but then noticed it spelled a name.

"No..." She walked back on the ice. "You're not real!" She yelled. She slipped on the ice but Jack caught her before she could slipped back into the water.

Jack laughed and watched her fearful expression. "What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost?" He hung upside down in front of her. "Oh wait, you don't believe in ghosts..." He hissed.

At that moment, her legs buckled and she fell heaving. She blinked her eyes a couple times looking directly at him.

Jack's eyes widened. "Uh oh..." He trailed off suddenly noticing the intensity of the situation.

Her eyes were digging into his soul. He knew she could see him then. That meant, if she could see him, she could touch him. She reached into her dress for the knife from before. "Now..." She wiped it on her cape and studied it's shine. "Where were we?" Her voice was still a bit shaky but her hands weren't. She lunged forward directing the knife towards his chest but he dodged it by flying up.

His eyes were wide and a thought ran through his mind. "Can I die?" The question haunted him his whole life. Well, his whole existence. He gazed down at Gothel who was gazing back up at him.

Fear washed over his face like Rapunzel's had. He gulped and dove down to snatch the knife from Gothel. However, when he was next to her, his arm suffered a stab and the knife was well into his bicep. He screamed as the searing pain suddenly enwrapped the upper part of his arm. He gasped looking at Gothel's crazy face. He fell back into the water and it became shrouded in ice.

"What's going on?" Gothel watched as the lake around her turned frozen. Her eyes widened as a hand covered her mouth as the ice thinned beneath her. She gasped for air a second she went under and saw the winter spirit lashing out frost instead blood where the wound was.

He moaned underwater and some frost shot out of his staff towards the wound on Gothel's back.

Her mouth opened with a tiny gargling noise emitting from her mouth. Every bubble that came from her nose formed into a frosty snowball underwater.

Suddenly, losing air the woman's eyes fell into tiny slits until they were closed.

Jack watched as she lost consciousness but wasn't going to let her die there. He hit some ice with his staff and it crumbled. He brought her up on an iceberg.

He waited five minutes checking on her wound behind her dress and directed his gaze towards the bridge. He saw a couple guards watching him.

One of the guards perked up and looked at him. "Is she alive?" He yelled; Jack barely heard what he had said.

Jack felt her neck for a pulse and heaved a sigh of relief. "Yeah!" He turned towards them and shouted back. At least one of the guards believed in him.

"Good!" The guard's voice was obviously getting raspy from yelling. "Bring her here!"

Jack hunched over and threw her on his back. "Okay..." He grumbled.

He didn't really want to hand her over to the guards. What would Rapunzel think of him? Also, he was kind of having fun with her little shenanigans.


A/N: Okay, sorry it took so long to update AGAIN! But I have been really busy with Summer things, I didn't have writer's block. I am just so tired of painting walls, and trim... And sanding... Ugh!

Also, about the whole sequence between Jack and Gothel... I think, Jack would be able to pick up Gothel because well, he could pick up Sophie! Plus, she obviously couldn't see him. That's all I got... What did you guys think about it?

However, I think having people believe in him at this time kind of fits, because in Rise of The Guardians(The movie) when Bunnymund told him that he actually has people that believe in him, it seemed like Jack was going to say something but didn't because he was so furious. Plus, if you think about, Sandy and North kind of made it so Jack couldn't comeback. Unless, I am totally wrong! I don't know I am just saying things... :)

Review please and fave if you haven't already! Reviews make my day. :)
