Me: I don't own ROTG or Frozen! :)

Chapter 10

Jack followed after Anna, floating in the air. The brunette princess didn't turn around to notice but then again, Jack wasn't even sure if she could feel him behind her. The guardian of fun floated around and jumped high into the air to look for the cathedral.

"Jesus," Jack pursed his lips until he found Anna running to a small chapel nearby. "There it is!"

The guardian of fun phased through the roof while landing right next to Elsa. The pale blonde young woman stood in front of the bishop, breathing heavily. He saw the nervousness flicker in her eyes but he gently dropped his hand on her shoulder. Elsa shivered slightly and looked up only to see Jack standing next to her.

"J-Jack," she whispered. "Wh-why are you here?"

"What kind of guy would I be to miss out on your coronation," Jack smiled then looking at her hair. "Hmmm, I've always preferred your hair down."

Elsa narrowed her eyes, trying her best to maintain her composure. "Jack, please – leave. I don't want to ruin this for anybody. Anna was so excited for this day..."

Jack lowered his head and slowly lifted his hand off her shoulder. "I'm sorry, Elsa. Don't worry, I'll do my best not to make trouble."

She watched Jack slowly step away as he leaned against the wall nearest to the front most pew. As soon as the ceremony started, the bishop rose up while one of the servers brought the sceptre and the orb. Elsa exhaled sharply as the choir began to sing. She bowed her head as the bishop placed the crown on her head. As soon as she saw the sceptre and the orb on a pillow, she prepared to pick them up.

"Your majesty."

Elsa looked up as the bishop smiled.

"Your gloves, please."

Elsa swallowed nervously while looking at the sceptre and the orb. She glanced at the people for one moment as she saw Jack smiling at her. She shivered fearfully while slowly removing her gloves. She warily looked at the sceptre and the orb on the pillow before slowly picking it up. With that, she turned around to face the people as the bishop began reciting a long piece.

Sehm hon HELL-drr IN-um HELL-gum

AYG-num ok krund ee THES-um HELLgah

STAHTH, ehk teh frahm FUR-ear Uthear...

Elsa nervously looked at the sceptre and the orb as it began to freeze. She shivered in fear while looking at the ice. Jack's eyes widened as he closed his eyes, breathing deeply. He had never tried long distance control but he began mentally praying to himself that he could stop it.

"Please let it work, let it work," Jack mumbled as he saw the ice fading away. "Yes!"

"...Queen Elsa of Arendelle," the bishop declared as Elsa quickly placed the sceptre and the orb on the pillow, covering her hands with gloves.

"Queen Elsa of Arendelle," the audience declared.

Soon, the people began to cheer loudly as Elsa glanced at one side to see Jack. She exhaled in relief while looking at both the sceptre and the orb that returned back to normal before anyone noticed. She smiled kindly to him before looking at her hands and then looking at him again. The guardian of fun smiled back at her before mouthing.

"Way to go, Elsa."

Night passed as Jack stayed outside the hallway. Trumpets blared as people began to dance, eat and laugh. The guardian of fun inhaled the scent of the food while smiling at the brightly lit ballrooms. He slowly stepped in, dodging the crowd of people as they gathered up front. Jack made his way to the front as he saw the butler introducing Elsa and Anna.

Kai bowed. "Queen Elsa of Arendelle."

Jack watched Elsa walk in with her usual poised, and calm manner. However, what he didn't expect to see was contentment in her smile. She slowly made her way through while smiling at the crowd. Jack bowed politely while Elsa composed herself in front of the crowd.

"And Princess Anna of Arendelle."

Jack glanced to the side as Anna awkwardly made her way in. He face-palmed and chuckled until a slight chilly air slapped him. He looked up while Elsa raised an eyebrow with a questioning look. Jack chuckled while shaking his head.

"At least you still have your mischievous side," Jack laughed softly at the queen.

The butler then placed Anna right next to Elsa, leaving the two royal sisters to watch the crowd dissipate. Jack looked to see Elsa standing there while Anna awkwardly stood next to her sister.

"To think I heard her singing about how excited she was for this night," Jack chuckled while standing next to Elsa.

Elsa rolled her eyes before turning to Anna, smiling awkwardly. "Hi."

Anna swivelled her head towards Elsa. "Oh... hi."

The two remained silent for a moment as both sisters stood next to each other. Elsa let a smile curve up her lips as she looked at how well Anna had grown up. The only thing that remained the same was the white streak in her hair and her bubbly personality. Although the queen found herself trying to control her composure, she couldn't help but be talkative tonight.

"You look beautiful," Elsa smiled.

Anna blinked several times before trying to recover herself, not believing she now had Elsa's attention. "Oh and you look beautifuller – I mean not fuller. You don't look fuller, but more beautiful."

"Thank you."

The two sisters then looked at the ballroom, noticing the many people that filled the room. People began to dance while some had begun eating.

"So, this is what a party looks like," Elsa looked around.

"Yep, it'd be more fun if I started a snowball fight," Jack snickered as Elsa slapped the back of his leg with her foot. "Ow."

Anna nodded. "It's warmer than I thought..."

"And," Elsa looked around in curiosity. "What is that amazing smell?"

The two sisters inhaled deeply, sighing in contentment.

"Chocolate," the chorused together before giggling amongst themselves.

Anna found herself with a barrage of topics she wanted to start with Elsa. She bit her lower lip, giddy with herself while trying to figure out what to say. Jack on the other hand looked around only to see a vase of roses on the side. He floated towards it and plucked one, concentrating deeply into the rose. He exhaled sharply as the rose slowly turned to a frosty blue colour. He hid it behind his back for a moment while trying to blend with the crowd.

"I hope I can get this to her without having people freak out," Jack slipped through the crowds while watching Kai introduce a scrawny old man to Elsa.

"Your majesty, the duke of Weaseltown."

"Weselton," the duke stamped his foot heatedly before turning to the queen, bowing. "Your majesty, as your closest partner in trade, it is only fitting that I offer you your first dance as queen."

The duke began dancing around, counting. "One. Two. Three. Jump!"

As he finished his dancing, he bowed down with his head down. His toupee fell forward, causing Anna to laugh. Elsa stifled a giggle and Jack rolled his eyes.

"Thank you only... I don't dance," Elsa smiled sadly before pointing at her sister. "But my sister does!"

Anna's eyes widened to the size of dinner plates. "What!? Wait!"

The duke smiled before pulling Anna along. "Lucky you. Let me know if you're going to swoon – I'll catch you."

As Anna got dragged away, Elsa sheepishly waved her sister goodbye. "Sorry."

A chuckle bubbled from behind her. "Sure you are."

Elsa turned around and found Jack standing behind her. She staggered back, albeit startled by Jack's sudden appearance.

"J-Jack," she lowered her voice to a whisper. "What are you doing here?"

Jack shrugged. "Like I said, I'm just here to watch over you guys as I promised your father. Although," – Jack narrowed his eyes at the scrawny old man. "There's something I don't like about him..."

Elsa looked around before walking along. "Come with me."

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

As she and Jack left the room, Jack walked right next to the queen. "H-how could you still see me even after you denied my existence?"

Elsa admitted mildly with a bitter smile. "I was lying to myself. I could still see you. I just had to act like I didn't."

"You pulled it off pretty well, that's for sure."

The queen met Jack's glower with her own. "I had no choice. My powers were about to kill people! They were triggered by the slightest hint of emotion."

"I doubt it," Jack pointed out while looking at Elsa's glove. "Right now, you're calm and composed. But you're enjoying yourself out there."

Elsa rolled her eyes. "Not really, it's too stuffy in there. And I have to keep my powers hidden."

"Au contraire," Jack chuckled in amusement at the sound of his French. "Your powers didn't seem to bubble while you and Anna were having fun."

Elsa remained quiet as the guardian continued to explain.

"Even as you were children, your powers never went out of control as long as you had fun with it," Jack continued to explain. "Just have fun with yourself. Smile, talk to Anna. Your powers will stay under control."

Elsa remained quiet while looking at her hands. "I-I don't know, Jack."

"Trust me," Jack smiled and held her hands. "I know you can do it. Then it can go back to the way it was before."

Elsa smiled before catching herself, turning away. "No, it can't. It just can't, Jack."

"Elsa, you just have to believe," Jack persisted. "But asides from that, that guy really sounds like he's from Weaseltown."

Elsa corrected him. "Weselton has Arendelle's trading partner for years."

"Doesn't mean he can't hide anything from you," Jack pointed out.

"Jack, what do you know about politics? You're just a spirit! You're not even real."

"I was real enough to know what went on in the world!"

"What? So you're telling me you were royalty before? That's a real laugh."

"I may have not been from royalty but, I am a guardian and I can read hearts," Jack narrowed his eyes. "Elsa, there's something about him that doesn't seem right..."

Elsa shook her head and turned away from him. "Look Jack, please just – stay away. Your duty to my parents is done."

"I'm not leaving you, not when I know I can help you," Jack shot back while extending his hand. "Elsa, please..."

Elsa hugged her body and walked away. "Look, I have to go. Please excuse me. Try not to make too much trouble."

As Elsa walked away from him, the guardian of fun sighed deeply while looking around. Suddenly, the door opened and revealed the Duke of Weselton walking in. He immediately jumped away to hide while watching the duke walk along. Suddenly, he smacked his forehead until he shook his head.

"Duh, he can't see me."

"That's where you're wrong."

Jack froze and snapped his head to the old man who stood a few metres right in front of him. The duke of Weselton folded his arms and snootily stared down at the guardian. The white haired male watched the old man carefully, hiding his staff.

"I've seen you around," the duke smiled slowly. "Jack Frost."

Jack narrowed his eyes cautiously. "How do you know who I am?"

"I have heard stories."

The guardian didn't know whether or not to be shocked or surprised. "Wh-who told you?"

The duke shrugged nonchalantly, pacing calmly. "The late king and queen had mentioned a baby sitter by the name of Jack Frost. And to think I believed he was a myth and quite a demon."

Jack raised an eyebrow. "A demon? Really?"

"Who knows," the old man chuckled lightly. "Perhaps you are, perhaps you are not. A bane rather – that may cause a couple of things."

The guardian of fun narrowed his eyes. "I would never try to hurt Elsa or Anna."

"You may not try intentionally," the duke turned away with a cryptic smile. "But people are afraid of things they don't understand, aren't they? Especially when they have been deserted with something so powerful..."

Jack's eyes widened as the duke walked away. The guardian of fun couldn't understand what the duke meant. A bane? A demon? Where in the world did those things come from? Nobody knew about his existence as a guardian in Arendelle but now the duke knows.

"Something's fishy here," Jack growled while pondering deeply to himself. "How did this guy know about me...?"

Suddenly, the guardian of fun heard an argument from the ballroom.

"Give me my glove!"

Jack's eyes widened in realization. "Elsa!"

He immediately phased through the door, not even bothering to kick open the door. He saw Anna and Elsa at a stand off.

Anna held the glove away, pleading desperately. "Elsa, please. I-I can't live like this anymore!"

Jack bit his lower lip while looking at Elsa, watching Anna. He could see her holding back her tears and trying to bite back her feelings. The guardian immediately jumped over the people before landing next to Elsa.

"Elsa, calm down. It's okay," Jack slowly began to approach her.

"...Then leave," Elsa weakly whispered.

Anna's eyes began to water as Jack shook his head. "Elsa, no it doesn't have to be like this. She didn't do anything wrong!"

Elsa looked at Anna's heartbroken expression and Jack's alarmed concerned expression. She wanted to keep the gates open but looking at her bare hand made her realize she was better off in a cage. Somewhere, somewhere alone. She turned away and began rushing off to leave.

"... What did I ever do to you," Anna screamed.

"Enough, Anna."

"Elsa, it doesn't has to be this way," Jack coaxed her gently. "You're not going to solve anything by just running away."

"No, why? Why do you shut me out? Why do you shut the world out? WHAT ARE YOU SO AFRAID OF," Anna broke down into a fit of tears.

"ANNA, NO," Jack begged the younger sister to stop.

But the moment Anna said the word "afraid", memories flashed in Elsa's eyes. Her body began to shudder as she held herself tightly, looking at the crowd. There were too many voices, too many people and too many possibilities of hurting people.

"I SAID ENOUGH," Elsa swung her hand as ice needles suddenly shot out of the floor.

People gasped in shock and horror as Elsa looked at the icy spikes on the ground. She looked at her hands with fear and staggered with her back against the door.

As ice needles appeared, the duke stared in horror while hiding behind his men. "... Sorcery, I knew there was something dubious going on here."

Jack's eyes widened as he tried to reach for Elsa. "Elsa...!"

But before he could reach her, Elsa had already made a run for it. She darted into the courtyard where she saw the townspeople rejoicing and drinking. She immediately held her bare hand, making sure she touched none of them.

"There she is! Long live Queen Elsa! Have a drink with us!"

Elsa began ducking through the crowd as another townsman approached her.

"Queen Elsa," he bowed.

Elsa staggered back as a townswoman with a baby approached her. "Your Highness? Are you alright?"

Upon seeing the baby, Elsa staggered back and shook her head. However, she didn't realize that her bare hands touched the edge of the fountain. The water immediately froze with the crowd gasping in shock and fear. She stared in horror at her hands while looking at the crowd, completely afraid.

"THERE SHE IS! STOP HER!"

Elsa turned to see the duke chasing after her, causing her to plead. "Please, just stay away!"

Suddenly more ice shot out and froze the entire staircase. The duke then slipped and fell with his thugs tumbling down the stairs.

"Monster, monster," the duke cried out.

Elsa's eyes widened in horror as more memories flashed into her mind.

She's a monster! A witch I tell you!

A sorcerer!

A monster! You have monster for children!

Elsa, please help me!

Voices screamed in her mind as Elsa gripped her head and made a run for it. The crowd began to panic as Anna, Hans and Jack made their way to the courtyard. Jack saw the fear flashing in her eyes before he turned to the duke. The duke however didn't seem to be afraid as he acted. Jack noticed a ghostly smirk on the duke's face as Jack growled.

"Shit," Jack immediately flew after her. "Elsa!"

"Elsa," Anna immediately ran after her. "Stop, please wait!"

But by then, Elsa had already crossed the fjord and all Anna could see was Arendelle in a middle of a snowstorm. The whole place had begun to freeze as the ocean that Elsa ran on had frozen solid. Snow covered the fjords while the winds had become chilly.

"It's snowing? In July," Anna held out her hand, looking at the snow.

The duke looked around him and saw snow all over the place. Arendelle from being the summer capital had instantly frozen over. Watching Elsa run, he couldn't help but smirk at the weakness he found in Arendelle. He cracked his neck while looking on at the crowd while realizing people were still frozen in fear.

"The Queen has cursed this land. We must stop her," the duke proclaimed before turning to his thugs. "You two, stop her by any means necessary!"

"No, wait," Anna tried to pacify the crowd as they fearfully looked amongst themselves.

However, nobody had seemed to notice the white haired guardian who had flown after Elsa and followed her to the mountains.
