"Sorry about your. . .sleigh…" Jack mumbled as he put his hands above his head. He stared at the sky as he laid on Sven's back. The reindeer shook his head with a slight grunt. Jack yawned.

"I thought I said you couldn't ride Sven." Kristoff grumbled as he walked beside Sven. Jack shrugged his shoulders.

"Sven doesn't mind. Do ya, buddy?" Jack smiled, scratching behind Sven's ear. Sven shook his head. "Don't be so sour, Kris. The Princess said she would replace your sleigh."

"It's Kristoff. And yeah. I know…" He sighed, looking at Anna as she walked a bit ahead of them. "T-that's why I agreed to doing this." He shook his head, as if to clear his head of something. Jack raised an eyebrow.

"Riiiight." Jack looked over at Anna, then back to Kristoff. "Anyway. When we get to her castle, we'll get Elsa to come back to Arndelle to get rid of this winter, and once we are back there, you'll have your new sleigh. If not…I'll make you a sleigh myself…of ice or something." Jack shrugged.

"Wow. Really?! That…." Kristoff took a moment to think. "As amazing as that sounds…but it would melt." He frowned.

Jack shrugged, looking to the sky as he thought of Elsa.

Elsa sat on her bed, looking out the window. It had been a day since Jack had left and she hoped he'd be back soon. She gripped the end of her braid, pulling the ribbon free. As her hair fell out of his braid, she sighed, looking down at her hands that held the ribbon. Running her fingers over it, the ribbon grew a little longer. She smiled.

"Having fun?" Pitch said, leaning on the door. Elsa stood fast, glaring.

"What do you want?" Elsa put the ribbon behind her back. It grew longer as she concentrated her power.

"Nothing. I wanted to apologize, your highness." Pitch walked into the bedroom.

"For some reason I find that very hard to believe."

"Nice hair."

"Shut up. How dare you show yourself here after everything you've done to me and to Jack?!" She hissed.

"Jack? Jack Frost? What did I ever do to Jack F… oh… I see. You've regained your-"

"Every single one…" She began to walk toward him, anger boiling inside her.

"When did this happen?" Pitch frowned, starting to back up a little bit.

"Last night."

"P-princess! I was only thinking of you. Jack Frost is a selfish boy. He would only break your-"

"Enough of your lies!" She whipped the ribbon in front of her. It flew through the air and Pitch put up his arm. The ribbon latched on to his arm, freezing in a firm wrap of ice. "And it's Queen. In case you couldn't remember!" She yanked her ice ribbon back towards her. Pitch was flung through the air over her head and into the wall. With a yell of pain, Pitch fell to the ground motionless. Elsa walked slowly over to the pile of what was left of Pitch.

"That was for me." She glared, slamming her foot on the floor beside his face. He gasped, flinching at the thought of her stepping on face. But he didn't expect for ice to go crawling around his body, picking him up off the floor. "And this is for Jack." She pinned him against the wall. She pulled her fist back, ready to strike revenge if only with a single punch. But Pitch thought quick. Before she was able to strike, he yelled.

"Why strike revenge at me for something that was Jack's fault?!" He yelled.

"Excuse me?!" She yelled.

"H-hear me out! P-please!" He begged. "J-jack was the one who cursed you in the first place!"

"Now you've gone too far." She hissed, forming an ice dagger in her head.

"W-when you were a baby! J-jack Frost cursed you with ice to keep you to himself!"

"T-that's a lie! I was born with my power just like he was!" She glared, not dropping her guard.

"Did Jack tell you that? Tell me…does he ever talk about his childhood?" Pitch questioned, an idea forming in his mind as he went. Elsa stared at Pitch, trying not to give anything away.

"O-of course he does. Jack…he…"

"You and I both know that's a lie. Jack Frost never had a childhood and was never born with a curse. He IS the curse. And until you realize that, you will always be alone as Jack controls you AND your emotions." Pitch gave his expression sympathy. Elsa gulped, shaking her head.

"You're lying." She bit her lip,

"I wish I was, your highness." He frowned, but was grinning from ear to ear inside. "Ask him. But I'm telling you…you won't trust what you hear."

"You disgust me." She tried to put on a brave face, but doubt filled her eyes.

"I'm not the one you should be disgusted with, my Queen." Pitch said concentrating his power into the ice. The ice around started to turn dark as it cracked. Elsa backed up. "I never wanted to hurt you. And I'm sorry if I did." He broke from the ice as it crashed to the floor. "I only wanted you safe. But, Jack Frost is far too easy to trust."

"Get out…" Elsa gulped.

"Elsa…"

"GET OUT!" She yelled, waved her hand towards Pitch. Before she knew it, Pitch was not where she thought. He stood right in front of her and gripped her wrist. She looked up at him.

"I know all you want is for someone to tell you that you don't have to hide and you don't have to be alone, your highness."

"You don't know what I want! L-let me go!" She tried to yank her arm back, but it was useless.

"I DO know! Because I know EXACTLY how that feels." He yelled. His voice quivered. "You think I want to be this way!?" He let her go. "Do you think I want to be alone, Elsa?" Elsa backed up, rubbing her wrist.

"You deserve to be." She spat.

"At least you have happy memories to go back to in the middle of the night when all you have is an empty bed. For me…for me there's nothing but fear to lull me to sleep into my nightmares."

"What are your nightmares…?" She glared, still panting.

"Same as yours, my queen." Pitch gulped. "Everyone who use to see me…not. Having to always be alone with no one there to listen." He looked down, his eyes in a daze on the ice fractals that lined beneath Elsa's feet. "I never chose this life! And nor did you!" He yelled, his voice filling the room.

"P-pitch-" She began. But before she could even think to stop him, he appeared inches from her. He grabbed her arms at her sides and firmly kissed her. With wide eyes, she tried to pull her lips away, but he was too strong. He broke this kiss, holding her still. She didn't know what to say, so she stood there staring.

"Koz…m-my name was Kozmotis." He looked up at her with eyes that resembled an eclipse. "I'm sorry." Was all he said before disappearing into the fractals beneath them. Left standing there alone in shock, Elsa brought her trembling fingers to her lips with tears in her eyes.
