Jack flew into the dark liar.
"Look who is back!" Jack suddenly felt a figure behind him.
He quickly turned around. "Master Pitch! I was…"
"In Arendelle?!"
Jack trembled. "I…I wasn't…I…"
"No lying!" Yelled Pitch. "I KNEW that you were in Arendelle!"
"Sorry, but Tooth said…"
"So the little fairy told you to go there? And what did you see?"
Jack held his staff close to his chest as Pitch walked around him in circles.
"Let me guess, you've met Elsa?"
Jack turned his head away. Pitch suddenly grabbed him roughly by his chin and held his head up. "Look at me! Did you meet Elsa?!"
"Yes, master. And I'm wondering why…why you erased my memories of her!"
"It did it to protect you!"
"Protect…me?"
"That woman is nothing but trouble, Jack. She could cause your death. Your death!"
"But in a memory I told her that I loved her!"
"That memory was false!" Pitch grabbed him by the neck of his t-shirt. "Now get out before I free the darkness inside of you and make you kill her!"
Jack quickly turned around and flew away.
"That stupid boy…." Pitch snapped with his fingers. "Come Onyx, let's pay the guardians a visit…"
In Arendelle, in a room, in a bed, was Elsa sitting up. Reading a book.
She laid it down and sighed.
"I wonder…if you will be a healthy child. If Jack would know that he is your father…he would tell Pitch and…"
She stopped talking when she felt a presence in the room. She got out of her bed and made icicles in her hand.
"Who is there?!" Yelled Elsa.
A figure stepped out of the shadows. He smiled and his yellow eyes reflected in the moonlight.
"Jack?"
"Sorry, but I just had to see you one last time!"
He walked towards her. Elsa took a few steps back but almost tumbled down. Jack grabbed her by the waist just in time. He quickly helped her up, but Elsa shoved him away.
"W-what a-are you doing here?! If Pitch finds out..."
"I know, then he will kill you both."
"Both?"
"I heard you talking in yourself. I am the father of that child?" Asked Jack.
Elsa looked away.
"Maybe…" She muttered.
"DAMMIT!"
Elsa jumped up when he suddenly shouted.
"Sorry…" Jack put his hands up. "I'm just frustrated with this situation, Elsa."
"Uh-huh…"
Elsa carefully backed away. Behind her back she made an ice-dagger. Jack noticed it. He just grinned. Elsa threw herself towards him, but Jack grabbed her by her wrist and turned her arm behind her back. The ice-dagger fell down and broke into pieces.
"Why were you suddenly attacking me?" Said Jack.
"Because you are Pitch his minion now." Said Elsa. "I thought…that he might be…controlling you…"
"Controlling me?" Jack quickly released her arm.
Elsa took a few steps back. "Yeah, because…"
"You're lying." Whispered Jack. "Master would never do something like that…he is letting me do whatever I want. And I just want him to be happy."
"Jack, you don't mean that. Pitch darkened you and…"
"Stop lying."
"And now you don't remember." Said Elsa. "Pitch is evil. You know that! You fought…"
"Stop."
"Against him…."
"STOP LYING!"
Jack stomped with his staff onto the ground. Cold wind flew through the room, lifting the paintings. Icicles appeared onto the floor, beneath Jack's staff.
Jack panted heavily. The wind was gone, so were the icicles.
Silence filled the room, but was broken by a knock on the door.
"Elsa?" Said Anna. "Is everything okay? I heard some noises."
"I-I'm fine!" Said Elsa. "I was just…."
She turned around to see that Jack was already gone. The window was open.
"…Talking to myself."
North, Tooth, Bunny and Sandy were all in the workshop. North was sitting in his chair, keeping an eye on the globe.
"Even with Pitch as boss those children still believe in us." Said Tooth.
Bunny sighed. "Yes, but not for long. Look."
A few lights on the map faded out.
"They are starting to fade out, Tooth."
"Can't we use the light?"
North stood up. "We can't."
"Oh, but you could." A dark voice called out of the shadows. Pitch appeared with Onyx.
"Pitch!" Yelled North.
Sandy narrowed his eyes. Bunnymund jumped in front of Tooth.
Above Sandy's head appeared a figure out of dream sand.
"I don't know where Jack is, Sandman. Maybe you know. I thought you guys were friends…"
"You prick!" Bunny threw his boomerang towards Pitch, but Pitch caught the boomerang and destroyed the object.
"Why are you here?!" Said North.
"To visit my favorite guardians." Said Pitch. "And I see that the children are stopping to believe in you."
"Well…we will use the light!" Yelled Tooth. "And kick your ass!"
Pitch grinned. "Of course…bring the queen into this. She would love to fight while being pregnant."
North clenched his fists. Pitch was right. They couldn't risk her life anymore.
"If any of you meddle with my plans, I'll kill her."
Pitch laughed darkly and disappeared.
That night Elsa couldn't sleep. She was thinking about Jack and how he had changed.
His hair, his eyes…. and how he reacted with such aggression.
Elsa groaned and sat up.
But he did remember who she was. A little.
Someone suddenly knocked onto the door.
"Come in."
"Elsa?" Anna tiptoed into the room.
"Anna, is there something wrong?"
"I was just worried about you." Anna stepped into her bed and lay down beside Elsa.
"Worried?"
"I know that Jack was here, sis."
Elsa blushed deeply. "What? He…he wasn't…"
"He was. I heard you two talking…how was he?"
Elsa sighed. "He has changed Anna. He had black hair and yellow eyes…and…I just wanted him to go away. I still love him…. yet….yet…"
Anna noticed that Elsa went quiet. Suddenly Elsa started to shake.
Anna could hear her sister cry quietly. She sat up and wrapped her arms around Elsa.
"It is all my fault…" Whispered Elsa.
"It's not your fault, Elsa." Said Anna. "None of this was ever your fault. And you're not alone in this. The guardians, Kristoff, Ace, Olaf and even Sven will all do our best to get Jack back. Just don't worry."
Elsa nodded.
"Let's just get back to sleep, Elsa." Said Anna. "Okay?"
Elsa nodded again. Anna yawned and lay down. Elsa sighed and lay down as well.
The two sisters snuggled up to each other.
I hope he is safe…thought Elsa.
Jack flew into the liar. "Jack, you're back!" said Onyx. "Where did you go?"
"Nowhere. Where is Pitch?" Said Jack with anger.
"Here." Pitch walked out of a door. "Call me master, Jack."
"What happened between me and Elsa? Why can't I remember anything? Why…"
"You shouldn't ask so many questions, Jack."
Pitch walked past him. Jack ran after him.
"I want answers! Elsa seems very nice and she is very beautiful!" Yelled Jack.
"The queen is indeed beautiful, Jack. But also a big problem for me."
"A problem? Elsa seemed pretty scared when I mentioned your name."
"Wait…" Pitch stopped in his tracks, turned around and grabbed Jack by his arm.
Jack flinched at his harsh grip.
"…You've been to Arendelle?!"
"I was just…"
"Unbelievable." Said Pitch. "I thought I had darkened you."
"Darkened?"
"Never mind. I have to do everything here…."
Pitch held up his hands. Jack suddenly felt a sudden pain shot through his chest.
"Master…What…what…is...happening? W-what are you d-d-doing?!"
"You're becoming the ultimate minion! A minion who will listen to me!"
The next day Elsa was sitting in the garden with Tooth.
"So when are you due?" Asked Tooth.
"Lets see…5 months…. this December." Elsa sighed. "And the worst is that Jack knows."
"He knows that he is the father, huh?"
Elsa nodded. "Yeah…"
"Don't worry, the guardians and I will hang around here for a while."
"Thanks Tooth."
"No problem." Tooth took a sip of her tea. "Now, shall we practice?"
Elsa stood up. She stretch out her hands and a blast of ice came out. The ice got struck onto a tree.
"Good." Said Tooth. "Now try to make a sculpture."
Elsa made a movement with her hands. An ice flower formed itself in the garden.
"Good job!"
Elsa smiled at Tooth. She really liked having her around. With the other guardians she didn't have much in common. North always revered to her as the light and was very formal. Sandy never talked. Bunny and she could only agree when Jack would do something stupid. So Tooth was the most fun to hang out with.
"How about a snowball fight?" Elsa quickly made a snowball in her hand and threw it against Tooth her back. Tooth giggled.
"You're so naughty, Elsa!" Said Tooth. "But I have to get back to the job. Gathering children's teeth!"
"Oh…okay…"
"See ya!" Tooth quickly flew away into the distance.
Elsa sighed. She missed…she quickly shook her head.
"No! I have to forget about him!"
She made another movement with her hands to make a sculpture. But aggressive ice shot out and dangerous ice spikes came out of the ground.
"Come on…. again…"
She tried to make a little snow in her hands. But another ice spike shot out of the ground.
"Come on, control it!" Yelled Elsa.
Another ice spike shot out of the ground. It went straight through a tree.
"Control! Dammit!" A few more spikes shot out of the ground.
Elsa took a few steps back. She stopped when she suddenly felt someone behind her.
She quickly turned around.
"Losing control?" Said Jack.
His yellow eyes where now dark red and he was grinning evilly.
"Jack! Your eyes!" Said Elsa.
"Master Pitch changed them, my queen."
My queen? He never calls me that…this isn't right….
"You see, I've been watching you and the Tooth fairy for a little while. When the little pest flew away, I got the chance to talk to you."
Elsa took a few steps back. "Jack…what do you want?"
"Easy. I want to kill you!" Jack laughed.
"St-stay away!" Elsa shot an ice beam at him.
Jack shiftily moved out of the way like a shadow.
"You are very slow." Jack got close and pulled her closer by the waist.
"Don't touch me." Whispered Elsa. Her whole body was trembling.
"Isn't this what you want?" Whispered Jack. "To be close to the one you love…"
He pulled her closer and closer in for a kiss. Their lips almost met when Elsa put her hand to his chest. A little ice spark came out and shoved Jack away.
"You're not the Jack I love!" Yelled Elsa.
Jack pushed his hand through his chair and chuckled.
"Oh, my queen…I'm more than that…"
"Elsa!" Tooth flew down into the garden.
"Tooth?"
"I have found the liar, let's go."
Tooth quickly pulled Elsa up by her waist and flew away.
Jack flew right after them. "Hey! Get back here!"
"Did you really find the liar, Tooth?" Asked Elsa.
"Yes! And I saw that Jack and you were fighting, so I had to save you!"
Jack almost caught up to them.
"Elsa, shoot a few ice-beams or something!"
Elsa stretched her hand out and shot a few beams.
Jack avoided them, but got a little behind.
Tooth suddenly quickly shot down towards the ground into a hole.
They came into some kind of hallway. Tooth landed onto the ground.
"Elsa?" Said Tooth. "Look for Teeth. Not real teeth, but a golden cylinder. In that thing is Jack his memories!"
"What about you?" Asked Elsa worried.
"Go! I'll hold Jack off!"
Elsa started to sprint down the hallway.
"Tooth." Jack flew down with a cold look on his face.
"Jack…this will be the first time we'll fight!"
"Let's begin, shall we?!" Jack flew quickly towards Tooth.
Elsa ran through the hallway. She stopped for a moment to catch her breath.
"Damn…this preg…pregnancy…is…not…good…. for my…condition…"
She suddenly noticed a golden thing lying down below her. It was a high drop. She quickly made a little stairway out of ice and walked down.
It was a golden cylinder!
"Jack's memories…" Whispered Elsa. She grabbed the Teeth. It wasn't to heavy, since it only contained memories of her.
Suddenly dark vines shot out of the wall and grabbed her legs and arms. They held her strongly in place. The Teeth fell onto the ground. It rolled away, but someone picked it up.
"My, my, Elsa. What a surprise."
"Pitch." Growled Elsa.
Pitch stepped out of the shadows and laughed.
"You really are a risk-taker. Coming here while pregnant."
"What? You're the one who send Jack to kill me!" Yelled Elsa. She tried to struggle free, but the vines were too strong.
"I did? Oh yeah, I darkened him."
"Darkened?"
"I took all his anger and made him into the person he truly is." Said Pitch.
"You're lying! Jack is a nice and genuine person! He is not…"
She stopped talking when Jack walked in and towards her.
"I'm not what?"
"Where is Tooth?" Screamed Elsa and she was panicking.
Jack laughed and held his hand up. In his hand was a wing. A wing from Tooth.
"Tooth…no….NONONONONNOOO!"
Elsa couldn't hold it back anymore and ice crept quickly onto the walls. The vines broke and she was free. Snow fell down from the ceiling. Her hands became blue and her eyes little up. Her skin was now white. Like snow.
"Look at that." Said Pitch. "The queen is finally letting her powers go."
Elsa looked with anger at the two.
"She is all yours, Jack." Said Pitch.
Jack grinned and leapt forward. Elsa shot a powerful ice beam at him. Jack jumped up to avoid it. But the ice-beam changed direction and hit him.
Jack fell down, but quickly speeded through the air and fell against the wall.
He put his hand out and made a sword of ice in his hand.
Elsa screamed an inhuman sound and speeded towards him.
Jack swung his sword. Elsa held out her hand and an ice spike grew out of her hand, clutching with Jack's sword. Jack his sword shattered. Jack took a few steps back.
"She is very strong master!" Yelled Jack.
"No kidding! Do I have to do everything…."
Pitch shoved Jack out of the way and dashed for Elsa.
Elsa held out her hands and a few ice spikes shot out of the ground. Pitch quickly avoided them, coming closer. Elsa stood still, but ice shards came out of her and went to Pitch. Pitch destroyed the little ice shards and grabbed Elsa by her neck and held her up.
Elsa screamed again.
"Yes, fear me!" Yelled Pitch.
Jack suddenly noticed a golden thing falling out of Pitch pocket, rolling towards him. He carefully picked it up.
"What…." The yellow thing started to glow. "Is this…?"
"Jack! Don't…" Pitch his voice faded away as the Teeth opened.
"Who are you?" Asked Elsa at a young age. A strange man with white hair just came into her room.
"I'm…" Jack was baffled at her anger.
"Are you with him?"
Under Elsa her feet appeared some ice.
"You are doing that." Jack leaned onto his staff.
"I asked you a question."
"No. I'm not with who ever you're talking about."
Elsa sighed. She was relieved.
"My name is Jack Frost."
"I'm princess Elsa."
On Jack's face formed a grin and he bowed down. "The pleasure is all mine."
Elsa giggled. Jack smiled. When she was smiling it was like a flower blooming. But there was also fear in her heart.
"Jack?" Elsa was lying in bed reading a book.
"Hm, what?" Jack was leaning in a chair. He was making snowflakes in his hands.
"Why do you call me snowflake?"
Jack smiled and walked over to the bed. He sat down next to her.
"Because you are like a snowflake. There is only one of you. Only one that I love. Forever."
Elsa stuck her tongue out. "That's stupid."
"Well, I think that it is romantic." Jack folded his arms and let out a 'hmpf'.
Elsa grinned and sat up. "I was just joking, Frost." She kissed him on his cheek.
Jack raised his eyebrows.
"Don't take everything so seriously." Elsa grabbed her book again.
"Hey…you have something on your face." Said Jack.
"Huh? What?"
Jack quickly kissed her on her nose.
"Frost nipping at your nose."
Elsa quickly blushed. "Jack!"
Jack gasped and the Teeth fell onto the ground.
Everything that had happened came back to him.
"Elsa…" Jack bit on his lip and a tear rolled down on his cheek.
He looked at Pitch. Pitch was still holding her up by her neck.
Jack felt angry again. He dashed towards Pitch.
"LET HER GO!"
He pushed Pitch away from her. Elsa fell down onto the ground, but she quickly stood up. Pitch saw that Jack had white hair again and blue eyes.
"Elsa!" Yelled Jack. He wanted to hug her, but an arm suddenly grabbed him.
"Jack…" Tooth was behind him, blood on her head. One of her wings is gone.
"Tooth…what happened to you…did…did I do that?"
"Now is not the time!" Yelled Tooth. "Look at Elsa. She is out of control!"
Around Elsa were ice shards floating. Her eyes still lit up and angry.
"Elsa…Tooth, we need to get to her." Said Jack. "We need to save her."
"No kidding." Ace and Bunny walked towards them.
Jack gasped again. "Ace? Bunnymund? What…."
"Tooth called us." Said Ace. "Well…she called Bunnymund. And he brought me."
"Ace is one of the greatest swordsman in all the land. He will be able to hold the nightmare horses off. Bunny can help us against Pitch."
"Oh okay…" Said Jack. "Then I will get to Elsa."
Ace drew his sword and fought against the horses. Tooth and Bunny started to fought against Pitch. And Jack walked towards Elsa.
"Elsa…" stumbled Jack. "It's me."
Elsa screamed and ice shards flew towards him. A few cut him, but he kept walking.
"Elsa."
A few ice spikes shot out of the ground. Jack jumped out of shock, but kept walking.
Meanwhile Bunny and Tooth were fighting against Pitch.
Pitch threw a dark beam at them. Bunny and Tooth jumped out of the way. Bunny threw a boomerang at him. Pitch dissolved it.
"Bastard!" Yelled Tooth. "You hurt them! You hurt our friends!"
Pitch didn't react and threw another beam.
Jack walked towards Elsa. His t-shirt already had a few rips.
Elsa held out her hand and a giant beam headed straight for Jack.
Jack held out his staff and absorbed the ice beam.
Now he was very close. He grabbed Elsa and wrapped his arms around her.
Elsa started to scream.
"Go away! Don't touch me! Go away! You're a monster!"
Jack buried his face into her neck.
"Elsa." Whispered Jack. "Come back to me, please"
She just kept screaming those words. Elsa put her hands against his chest and ice shot out of her. Tooth quickly made a shield to protect herself, Ace and Bunny.
Jack only held her tighter, ignoring the pain in his body.
"Elsa, I love you." Whispered Jack.
Elsa shook her head. "Go away…don't touch me…"
"I'm not going anywhere."
"Please…I'm a monster…" Elsa her voice became softer.
Jack shook his head. "You're not. You're my girl. And Anna's sister. You're you."
The ice turned into snowflakes, floating in the air.
"I love you, Elsa. More than anything."
The snowflakes fell onto the ground. Elsa her eyes and hands became normal again. Her skin returned to a human color.
"J-jack…" Elsa her shoulders shook and she started to cry.
Jack smiled and he cupper her face. He cried too. Finally he saw her normal face again.
"Snowflake…"
Elsa threw her arms around his neck and kissed him deeply.
Tooth, Bunny and Ace were smiling while looking at the two.
"Wait…" Muttered Jack. "Where is…Pitch?"
Pitch was lying on the ground. Half of his body was frozen and he was groaning in pain.
"Pitch!" Elsa ran towards him. "Oh no!"
The nightmare king looked with pain at his body.
"This time you really did it, Elsa." Groaned Pitch.
Jack put his hand onto Elsa her shoulder. "What do we do?"
"Kill the bastard." Said Bunny. "Good getting rid of."
"Are you kidding me?" Yelled Elsa. "I'm not murdering him! That…"
"If you kill me…" Pitch was in serious pain. "Then…you need to get out of here."
"This place will collapse."
Everyone noticed Emily walking out of the shadows.
"Emily?" Said Tooth.
"Hi guys. Dad." Emily kneeled down next to her father.
"Emily…" Pitch looked away with his eyes. "I'm sorry."
Emily smiled for the first in forever. "I know."
"What is she going to...?" whispered Jack. Elsa quickly hushed him.
Emily made a knife out of stone.
"Dad…after all this time…I still love you. That is why I'll take you out of your misery."
A tear rolled down Pitch his cheek. "Thanks."
Emily gave him a kiss on the cheek. Then, while crying, she pushed the dagger through his chest. Pitch his body slowly dissolved.
"Elsa." Said Pitch.
Elsa looked at him. Her eyes were red.
"I'm…sorry…for everything. You are one of the most powerful women I have ever seen. In the future you will do great things. And raise a beautiful daughter…. and Jack?"
"Yeah?" Said Jack.
"Take care of my queen."
With that he dissolved totally. The knife cluttered onto the ground. Pitch was gone. And this time he wouldn't come back.
"N-now…." Emily stood up. "We have to go…"
The place started to shake. Walls started to break down.
Everyone began to run to the exit, but it was blocked by a big rock.
"Oh no!" Yelled Jack. "What now?!"
Suddenly Onyx flew towards them.
"Onyx!" Yelled Elsa.
The horse pushed the boulder out of the way.
"Thanks, now let's get out!" Yelled Tooth.
Everyone ran out. Elsa noticed that Onyx kept standing.
"Onyx?" Whispered Elsa. "Come on, this place is going to collapse!"
"Elsa, I need to stay." Said Onyx. "I'm created by Pitch."
"What are you…"
"I'll dissolve anyway!"
"…Saying…Onyx!" Elsa wanted to run back, but Jack grabbed her arm.
"Come on! We have to leave!" Yelled Jack.
Elsa yelled Onyx name again.
Onyx gave her a nod. "Goodbye…Elsa..."
She saw him slowly dissolve. The entrance collapsed and he was gone.
Elsa fell to her knees. She started to sob uncontrollably.
Jack wrapped his arms around her again and kissed her tears away.
After everything they went back to the castle.
Anna wanted to punch Jack when she saw him, but Elsa held her back and explained everything. Soon everything returned to normal in the castle.
Elsa decided to rest from everything, while Jack, Tooth and Bunny went back to the workshop. Now that Pitch was dead and Tsar was gone there wasn't a boss.
So they decided to make North the boss. North wouldn't just abuse his power.
North agreed to this, but told everyone that he would get Tsar back. That Tsar wasn't dead. Everyone agreed, but they all knew that even if he was alive, it would be difficult to get him back. After that was set, Jack went back to the castle to see how Elsa was doing.
"Elsa?" Whispered Jack. "Are you awake?"
Elsa yawned and sat up in her bed.
"Yeah, I am now…Jack? How did everything go?"
"North is now the boss. He is going to look for Tsar, though." Said Jack.
"Oh…okay…" Elsa yawned again. "I better get back to sleep."
"Yes, sorry for waking you."
Elsa smiled. "You know…you can sleep next to me if you want."
"Huh?"
"You must be tired too. Come sleep next to me. We'll see what we will do in the morning."
Jack crawled under the sheets and lay down next to her.
Elsa buried her head into his t-shirt.
Jack sniffed her hair. She smelled lovely.
"Jack, stop sniffing my hair." Whispered Elsa.
Jack grinned. "I've missed you, snowflake."
"Still not romantic." Said Elsa. "But…I've missed you too…"
Together they fell asleep. And for the first time none of them had nightmares….
