Me: Hey guys! Thank you for the constant support you've been giving this story! Hopefully, I get to hear more from you so I get to improve this fanfic. There is no such thing as a perfect fanfiction after all. Also, I will warn you ahead – this is where things might deviate from the movie a little bit since the first part had been following the movie events down to the letter. While the movie focused on Anna, these parts of the story will focus on Elsa and Jack. The moment you all have been waiting for – JELSA! I don't own Frozen or ROTG!
Now, on with the chapter!
Chapter 11
"ELSA!"
Jack's hollers had been carried away by the win as he continued watching the queen run for her life. He flew over only to hear wolves growling and howling throughout the night. His eyes widened as Elsa stumbled over.
"Ah," Elsa yelped as she slipped down the slope. "Wh-where… huh?"
Elsa stared fearfully at the eyes gleaming in the dark along with the flashy white teeth. She swallowed hard while stepping back nervously, hearing growls and snarls from all sides. She held her hand close to her as the wolves closed in on her. The queen shook her head while bumping into a tree.
"S-Stay back," Elsa shook her head. "I don't want to hurt you!"
The wolves growled and snapped their jaws at her, baring their slobbery fangs. She nervously stared at the creatures, frozen in fear. Her heart pounded wildly while her powers began to violently bubble inside her. She shook her head as the wolves suddenly pounced.
"Get away from me," Elsa threw an ice bolt, knocking down the wolf.
The wolf whimpered and flew back as its companions pounced on her.
"Elsa," Jack zoomed in from the sky until he noticed her eyes glowing. "Wh-what the…?"
Elsa's eyes became a sickly golden yellow as she stared angrily at the wolves. Her hands clenched tightly into fists as everything around her seemed to freeze. A blizzard began to blow wildly as it swirled around her, exploding and knocking the wolves aside. She met the wolves' glower with her own while she stepped forward to face them.
"You all fear me," she growled angrily as ice began to swirl wildly. "CARVE IT INTO YOUR MEMORY!"
Jack's eyes widened as the ice in the storm swirling around her hardened into solid ice spears. However, what scared him more was that instead of her usual fearful expression – Elsa had a slow psychotic smile curve up her lips. The ice slowly turned black as she dismissively waved her hand. The spears shot out quickly and stabbed some of the wolves while some managed to get away. She slowly licked her lips with a maniacal smile while shaking her head.
"I'm sorry it has to be this way," she chuckled darkly, summoning her spears. "JACK!"
Jack's eyes widened as the spears flew towards him. He swirled around his staff and smashed the spears, swooping in from the sky. Elsa sneered darkly while flicking her wrist to throw snow into his face. Jack staggered back and then jumped forward with his staff to deflect the other attacks.
"Elsa, I don't want to fight you," Jack hollered over the blasts. "Stop!"
"Oh, I'm surprised you're not in for a little," she grinned darkly. "Joke today, Jack."
The guardian of fun stared in horror as the light lavender eye shadow on her eyes slowly darkened into a dark violet. Her blonde hair suddenly grew a dark coloured strand and her lipstick darkened considerably. Black veins and markings appeared on her skin as she threw another ice bolt at him. He tumbled onto the ground and quickly rolled back up, pointing his staff at her.
"Don't make me do this, Elsa," Jack narrowed his eyes, pointing the staff straight at her.
Elsa then giggled with delight, summoning more ice around her. "Then let's settle it then!"
Exhaling sharply, Jack knew he had no choice. He jumped high into the air and right into the eye of the storm. Elsa's eyes widened as Jack shot an ice bolt from the tip of his staff. The bolt hit her straight in the forehead; the very same place she had hit Anna before. Jack bit his lower lip as the storm died and dropped down to catch her in his arms. Jack looked at her unconscious form as she slowly began to shake it off. Her make-up returned back to normal and the markings on her skin faded away.
"Odd," Jack looked at the black strand, tracing it gently. "How did this happen…?"
"Ugh..."
Jack looked at Elsa as she slowly opened her eyes. "J-Jack…?"
Jack smiled kindly; seeing that the original Elsa had come back. "The one and only."
Elsa shook her head, staring at him in surprise. "H-how? How did you find me?"
"Followed you into the mountains after that huge fight you had with Anna."
Elsa paused for a moment before hanging her head in shame, looking at her hand. She remembered the argument all too well. Even she would have been frustrated after being kept in a cage for so long. She offered Anna that chance of living outside the castle and not coming back but the princess refused to take it. She shook her head and held her hand close to her chest.
"J-Jack, what have I done," she began to sob, shaking her head and hugging her body. "Anna…"
"Anna was just frustrated. When people are scared, they make a whole lot of boo-boos," Jack chuckled while dropping his hand on her shoulder, smiling in reassurance. "Don't worry; we can fix all this."
Elsa shook her head and walked ahead. "B-but I don't know how… There are just some things that are better off isolated, Jack."
Jack shook his head defiantly. "No. Are you kidding? Snow brings all the good stuff and that's when people gather together."
Elsa gave him a droll stare. "You saw what happened."
"I saw it but that was because Anna decided to push you. Her frustration pushed her. It's nobody's fault."
The queen looked away from Jack, climbing up the mountain. "And sometimes, being pushed by people makes you do things that you regret. Like, what's happening right now!"
"Elsa," he watched her walk away. "You're not the only one who's frustrated."
Elsa stopped in her tracks as she turned to face Jack. "What…?"
"I remember the first time I became, well," Jack gestured to all of himself. "This."
Elsa remained quiet as Jack continued.
"It wasn't easy. It wasn't easy also realizing that you were dead and invisible to the world. Not to mention that my powers just came with it. I had no one to talk to. The only thing I knew is that the moon wanted me to be this and I had a job to do as a Guardian."
Elsa hung her head, holding her body tightly. "J-Jack, I'm so sorry…"
"But that's all in the past now, what matters is," Jack smiled kindly while holding her hand. "I'm here with you. I won't leave you."
Elsa revealed a small smile before turning to the mountains, exhaling deeply while beginning to sing. (*Italics is Elsa, Bold is Jack and Bold-Italics is together)
The snow glows white
On the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen.
A kingdom of isolation.
And it looks like, I'm the queen.
"You're not alone, Elsa," Jack followed after her. "I'm right here…"
"The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside," Elsa tearfully looked at Jack while hugging her body close. "Couldn't keep it in, Heaven knows I've tried."
"But then, there are just some things you can't keep inside," Jack followed after her. "It's a part of you…"
Don't let them in.
Don't let them see.
Be the good girl, you always have to be.
Conceal, don't feel.
Don't let them know!
"Well," Jack shrugged as he looked at Elsa, softly singing with her. "But now they know…"
"BUT NOW THEY KNOW," Elsa threw off her glove with a bright smile on her face.
LET IT GO!
LET IT GO!
Can't hold it back anymore!
Let it go!
Let it go!
Turn away and slam that door!
I don't care – what they're going to say!
Let the storm rage on – the cold never bothered me anyway!
Jack's eyes widened as he looked at the place in realization. "Elsa, this is it!"
Elsa stared at him quizzically. "What is?"
"This, this," Jack began looking around before swirling his staff around. "This place is perfect! You can practice right here!"
Elsa looked around for a moment before beaming in realization. "Y-you're right! Jack…!"
"Yeah," Jack whooped in delight before shooting straight into the air. "It's been awhile since I've been like this! Come on!"
The queen looked at the frozen mountains surrounding her as she looked at the ice bursting from her fingertips which each wave of her hand. A huge smile curved up her face as she began walking towards the cliff, looking beyond the distance. Everything seemed so great. No people around to hurt and all the room she had for practice.
"It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small," Jack sang while spinning around in the air.
"And the fears that once controlled me," Elsa walked backwards to see the fading mountains, singing louder. "CAN'T GET TO ME AT ALL!"
The two ice wielders smiled at each other while looking at the cliff, singing together.
It's time to see – what we can do!
To test the limits and break through!
"No right," Jack sang and pointed his staff at the cliff, forming a bridge with her.
"No wrong!"
"NO RULES FOR ME," they chorused together while Elsa stepped on the stair, looking at each other with delight. "I'M FREE!"
Elsa beamed enthusiastically, running up the stairs and making the bridge longer and higher.
LET IT GO!
LET IT GO!
"I am one with the wind and sky," Jack spun into the sky, hollering into the air.
LET IT GO!
LET IT GO!
"You'll never see me cry," Elsa sang with delight while spinning around with the snowflakes dancing around, then stamping on the ground to create a huge snowflake pattern. "Here I stand and here I'll stay!"
"Let the storm rage on," Jack swirled a huge blizzard from his staff, pointing it to the ground as Elsa and he began constructing a castle of ice.
Suddenly, pillars sprouted beneath the ground as they began dancing together. The structures around them crystallized as more frozen ice like designs appeared.
My power flurries through the air and into the ground!
My soul is spiralling with frozen fractals all around!
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast –!
Elsa stood in amazement in her mighty ice palace. She glanced at her palms in disbelief at the beauty surrounding her. She stood firmly as she grabbed her crown.
"I'm never going back," Elsa looked at the crown, stopping for a moment. "I'm… never going back…"
"Not to that moment when you were scared but maybe it's time to look at it as something else," Jack said with a small smile, patting her shoulder.
Elsa smiled at Jack, placing her hand on Jack's. "Jack…?"
"Hm?"
"Thank you."
Jack blinked several times as Elsa breathed in sharply. "I'M NEVER GOING BACK…!"
THE PAST IS IN THE PAST!
"Let it go, let it go," Jack summoned ice chandeliers and decorations, swooping around.
"And I'll rise like the break of the dawn," Elsa removed her bun to fix her hair into a long French braid, letting her powers affect her dress.
Let it go!
Let it go!
"That perfect girl is gone," Elsa declared as she stepped out in her new ice blue gown while brushing aside her white long trail.
"Here we stand in the light of day," Jack flew out of the castle, landing right next to Elsa on the balcony.
Let the storm rage on!
Jack and Elsa then looked at each other with a mischievous smile. Elsa had never felt so free in her life; she glanced at her hands and then at the huge structure around her. She shook her head with a huge smile beaming on her face, looking at the dawn breaking at the horizon. Jack stood next to her as they looked over the balcony.
The cold never bothered us anyway!
With that, both ice wielders strode inside with the doors slamming behind them.
As they made their way inside, Elsa burst into laughter and began dancing around. "Jack, this feels… amazing! I've never done something this huge before! All I used to know is little blasts and freezes!"
"Yeah, see what happens when you have fun," Jack grinned while leaning against the wall, letting Elsa play with her powers. "Once you have fun with your powers – look how obedient they are to you."
Elsa nodded. "Y-yeah, why didn't this ever happen?"
"Because," Jack bit his lower lip to try and explain it to her. "You let them control you. You denied them and your fear had to go somewhere…"
Realization hit Elsa like a snowball to the face. "My powers – they were my outlet…"
"Yep, that's one way of saying it," Jack shrugged before smiling again. "But see! All the practice you want can be done here! After that, well – it's entirely up to you."
Elsa blinked several times. "Wait, you're not going to try and convince me to go back?"
"If it isn't what you want, I won't try."
Elsa looked at her hands and then at Jack, smiling. "Jack…?"
"Hm?"
The queen walked over to Jack, holding his hands with hers. "Stay with me…?"
Jack this time had a more resolute answer. After he told North that Pitch had made his way to Arendelle, Jack got himself a good vacation and time did run slower from where he was from. He gently took her hand, kissing the back and genuflecting on one knee.
"Always. As you wish, Queen Elsa."
That's chapter 11! Look at all the JELSA happening! Please don't forget to review! Thank you!
