An: So sorry! I forgot to mention that we were going camping in my last an! We had no wifi so I couldn't update. I'm back for now.

Chapter 14: Betrayal

Jack stood in the doorway of Arendelle's castle, waiting for the others. So far, it had not been a good day. He had lost two of his best friends, Anna, and Elsa. And there was nothing he did to stop it. Rapunzel tried to tell him it wasn't his fault, but he had a hard time believing it.

"You look sad," Olaf said.

"How'd you survive Elsa's storm?" Jack asked.

"She made me," Olaf explained. "Her storms don't hurt me or the palace. But why are you so sad? It's winter, and summer's just around the corner! We should be having fun!"

"Well, today I abandoned Hiccup and Merida to their deaths. It happened so fast I didn't know what to do. And then Elsa didn't…didn't remember me. It was like losing her all over again. And then Anna…"

"Oh I know, it's terrible, right! Captured by that witch. Poor girl. But you need to look at the bright side of things!" Olaf said with a grin.

Jack looked down dejectedly. "What bright side?"

"You're Jack Frost, you always have a bright side! You have Mavis on your team now. Believe me, I NEVER thought that would happen. Ooh, ooh! And Anna was able to stop her fire, eventually. That's good news. And Hiccup and Merida aren't dead, that's a bright side, right?"

"Wait, what?"

"Well I assume they aren't, since they told me to give you a message. Oh darn! I forgot about that. They said they're on their way, but there was a tiny delay because that dragon's tail froze again."

"Are you serious?" Jack asked, excited.

"Uh…I think so? Hey, look, there they come now!"

"Hiccup!" Jack yelled as Toothless glided over the mountain and landed in the snow. "You're alive!"

Jack flew over and knocked Hiccup out of the saddle in a giant bear hug. Rapunzel, Mavis, Bunny, and North (the latter two had been transported to the North Pole, but had come back) ran out of the ice palace to see what was going on. Rapunzel gasped and ran toward Merida.

"Nice to see you too," Hiccup gasped. "Choking, not breathing!"

"I thought you were dead!" Jack exclaimed, letting go.

"What, really?" Astrid said. "We're tougher than we look. Well, than Hiccup looks anyway."

"Hey!" Hiccup said. Astrid grinned and threw a snowball.

"Snow day!" Olaf yelled.

Jack laughed and flew around, making snowballs for everyone. Soon an all out war was raging between them, the Companions versus Mavis, Bunny, North and Olaf. Toothless ran around the battle field eating snowballs. Finally, Mavis surrendered, realizing they would never win against Jack Frost. Jack grinned and flew up into the sky. With a wave of his staff, Elsa's winter storm, and his, were sucked up and gone.

"Cool," he said, grinning. "I didn't know it could do that." Jack flew down and rejoined the others.

"That was fun," Astrid said laughing, ruffling Olaf's few twigs of hair.

"Yeah," Mavis said, smiling. "The most fun I've had in…well, ever."

"Wait a minute," Merida said. "Where's Anna?"

"She was captured by Maggie," Jack said, still smiling. "But don't worry, we have a plan. I don't think you've met Rapunzel's sister, Mavis Black?"

Anna struggled to keep her head above the snow. She was chin deep now, but her feet were slipping in the footholds she had managed to not melt. Maggie was outside the igloo, cooking something in a cauldron over a fire, ignoring her prisoner. Anna dropped straight down through the whole she had created, landing a wet, mush pile of snow.

She had managed to stop the fear-voices from coming back, for now, but she knew she had to escape the igloo. Anna plunged her hands deep into the snow bank ahead of her and turned the heat up.

"Hey!" Maggie called from above. "Where'd you go?"

"Hurry up!" Anna whispered, though she knew talking to snow was not going to help her.

As Maggie began chopping down the igloo from above, Anna's fire melted an escape tunnel ahead of her. She began running down the fragile corridor, knowing that one wrong move could collapse the whole system down, trapping her once more.

"Anna! You get back here right now!" she heard Maggie say behind her. Snap! Anna was frozen in place, unable to move. "Hehe," Maggie chortled. "Are you stuck? I can see your little escape tunnel, and I'm coming down, as soon as I get in."

You will burn them. They will die because of you. Anna began crying. The voices were back. Don't try to escape. It will only make it worse when you are reunited.

You family is scared of you. Your friends are scared of you. No one will come near you, Anna Joy Frost. Your name may cover it up, but they know how capable you are of destruction. Death. They will ignore you, leave you here forever. In fact, they are doing it right now.

"No," Anna said. "That's not true. Stop lying to me! Dad, tell them it's not true!"

At that very moment, miles away, Jack flew up above Arendelle and sucked up all the winter. Anna was standing on solid ground in the middle of a sunny field. Behind her, Maggie fell to the ground; the snow that supported her was gone.

"What did you do?!" she screeched.

"I didn't do anything," Anna said smiling. She looked towards Arendelle. "Dad did."

"You'll pay for that!" Maggie yelled. She pulled Anna towards her cauldron. "Sit down!" Roughly, she pushed Anna to the ground. "Don't go anywhere."

Anna nodded. It was pretty hopeless now. Maggie would not take her eyes off her for a second.

But it at least the fear is gone, she thought. For now. Suddenly, she realized she hadn't had any real rest since yesterday afternoon. Exhausted, Anna lay down to get some sleep.

"Nice of you to show up," Maggie said sarcastically, waking Anna.

"What, you're blaming me?" Mavis said. "I was imprisoned by them! Locked in the castle."

Anna sat up sleepily. Judging by the sun's position, she had been asleep for almost three hours. (One of her sun talents was being able to tell time with the sun just like a regular clock.) Maggie was ignoring her, and she was about to slip away when Mavis caught her eye. To Anna's surprise, Mavis smiled and winked. A tiny snowflake drifted down and landed on her nose. Anna glanced up cautiously. Jack was partially hidden in the clouds, motioning her to stay still and quiet.

"By the way," Maggie said, turning back to them. Mavis resumed her scowl. "I caught their other daughter. I tried to get them to trade, but so far it hasn't worked yet."

"Well, nice to know we have a bargaining card," Mavis said. "Unfortunately, we'll have to leave her behind. There's no time to explain, but we have to go now!"

"Alright. We'll kill her."

"What?!" Anna and Mavis exclaimed.

"I mean, we don't have time for that either!" Mavis said.

"Oh sure we do," Maggie said. "This is much better revenge than a bargaining card."

"Get back!" Merida yelled, running from behind the hill and aiming her bow at the witch. "Don't hurt her!"

"Merida!" Mavis exclaimed, surprised. "Uh…"

"Get behind me, Anna," Merida said. Anna didn't need to be told twice.

"We can kill both of them," Maggie said eagerly.

"Uh, Grandmother, wait!" Mavis said. "Um, Merida's too fast. She'll pierce you with an arrow…"

"Before you even THINK about what spell you'll put on us," Merida growled. "I'll kill you both!"

"Don't be so hasty," Mavis said nervously. "Our lives for Anna's. You let us go, we'll let Anna go. Or if you think it's unfair, you can keep me as prisoner again. Just let my Grandmother go free."

"Anna's life is worth more than you and your grandmother's life combined!" Merida said. "Let my dragon go free as well." Anna frowned. That sentence made absolutely no sense, but Mavis bought it.

"Grandmother, do as she says. Trust me!" Maggie sighed and snapped her fingers reluctantly. Torch appeared, fast asleep on the ground.

"Thank you. Now get out of my sight! On the count of three I'll have Torch roast ya to smithereens!" That got them moving. Merida turned to Anna and hugged her tightly. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine," Anna said. "What exactly is going on?"

"I'll explain on the way," Merida said, looking up at the now empty sky. "Torch! Wake up! We have to move out now, before we lose them!"

"The cottage," Mavis said, trying to sound panicked. "It's our only chance!"

Maggie nodded. "I still don't understand why I can't blow them up with my magic."

"They have a secret weapon," Mavis said. "It's too complicated to explain while we're running!"

"This is great!" Jack yelled as he built another frost wall, preventing Maggie from veering to the right.

"I know!" Rapunzel said as she manipulated her hair—with frying pans tied to the ends—to swing and hit her former grandmother on the rear.

Merida and Anna sent a volley of arrows behind their quarry, all purposefully missing their targets, but keeping the fugitives on the run. Anna's fiery arrows were quickly quenched by Jack's frost.

"Are we almost to the cottage?" Hiccup asked as he and Toothless fired round after round of earthshaking blasts on Maggie's left.

"Judging on that cottage up there, yes," Rapunzel said.

"Oh yeah, that's a good clue."

Up ahead, Mavis tripped, and Maggie turned. "Go!" Mavis yelled. "Don't stop, just get inside! I'll distract them and give you some time!"

"But…" Maggie protested.

"This is MY plan, remember? Just don't leave with your magic!"

Maggie ran into the cottage and closed the door. Mavis stayed where she was, clinching her fists. Maggie glanced out the window, questioningly, as the Companions surrounded her cottage.

"I am FINISHED being evil!" Mavis yelled. "FIRE!"

Simultaneously, the dragons and Anna launched their biggest fireballs ever, hitting the cottage at the same time. Jack formed a gigantic ice wall that separated them from the massive explosion seconds afterward.

The explosion demolished the wall, shattering it into a million tiny pieces, but by then the Companions were sheltered behind the dragon's wings. Mavis took a deep breath.

"You did the right thing," Rapunzel said gently.

"Yeah, but after years of doing the wrong thing, it still feels weird. Maggie was the last of my family, even if it wasn't a very good one."

"Will Elsa be able to remember us, now?" Jack asked.

"Hopefully," Mavis said.

"Well what are waiting for?" Anna said. "Come on, I want to meet my sister!"

AN: Since Anna's full name was never given in the movie, I decided to give her one that seemed to fit: Joy. She's a very virtuous girl, hehe. You know, since Anna means "grace," and Joy means "joy?" No? Just me? Ok then.

Anyway, what did you all think of the chapter? A lot happened today: Jack regained his fun via Olaf (I thought that appropriate, since he's Elsa's creation) Anna escaped, Maggie died. I must say, I am slightly disappointed. She was such a fun character, and she wasn't necessarily evil in the movie, but she was a witch. So there. She's dead now so it's over.
