Meanwhile, Jack continued to fly through the cold, winter air. He was out of the mountains and was high above the forest, covering the ground below. He saw his home down ahead, below the hill. Jack gasped in relief. Yet suddenly, he felt a stabbing feeling inside.
He flinched, trying to withstand it. Jack dashed ahead, trying to get to the kingdom. He flew past a few houses. The villages below all looked up at him in shock and amazement. Jack turned at the corner, where the castle was in front of him.
Jack flew toward it; he crossed over the bridge and over the wall. Two guards on the wall saw Jack as he flew over them. The young man then landed inside the Palace grounds. Upon landing, he walked a few feet before collapsing onto his knees. He was breathing heavily, feeling the curse spread throughout his body.
He looked up at the doors ahead. They suddenly flashed open and a few of the staff members come out.
"Jack!" Kai called, as they rushed to him.
"Please help, I need to see Huns." Jack said, using his staff for balance.
Jack used all of his strength to return to his feet. The three came to side. Kai put Jacks arm over his shoulder and help him inside the castle. Meanwhile, inside the castle, Hans was standing in the library with a few others, looking out a window.
"This is an outrage." The Duke said, looking at the others.
"If the sorcerer can't stop this, then we'll all freeze to death!"
"Prince Hans?" one of the others asked.
Hans turned to the group of men.
"Arendelle is in need of you."
"There's not much that we can do about the winter." Hans said.
"Elsa said she doesn't know how to stop it."
"Or she just doesn't want to." The Duke said, still holding his belief that she's an evil sorcerer, who plans to imprison them all.
"She's keeping us locked in this winter, we must dispose of her."
Just then, the doors ahead of them open.
"Prince Hans." Said a familiar voice.
Hans looked ahead of him and say Kai and a few others, bringing Jack into the room.
"Jack." He said, as he came up to him.
Hans helped Kai get Jack to the coach. They set him down on the long, soft purple furniture.
"Wait, your not letting him in here, are you?" The Duke said, acting as if they were bringing in a vicious creature into the room.
"Jack is an honored guest into the castle, you highnus." Kai explained.
"He is welcomed inside these walls."
"I see." said the Duke.
"Well then, We'll wait for you in the dinning hall."
The Duke the others walked out of the room, leaving Hans alone with Jack.
"Jack what happened?" asked Hans.
"Elsa struck me." Jack said
"What?" asked Hans in shock.
"But you said she wouldn't."
"I was wrong." Jack said.
"I have to find her."
Jack got off the couch, struggling along the way. He pulled himself up but the crumble to the ground.
"Why?" asked Hans.
"She froze my heart, and only an act of true love can save me."
"A true love kiss." Said Hans, knowing exactly what he meant.
Hans, thinking of what Jack had told him, turned to the fire-place, where two swords crossing each other above it. Hans walked toward it.
"I'm sorry, Jack." He said, taking the sword to the left off the wall.
"But I can't let you see her."
Jack looked to Hans with a look of confusion.
"What?" he asked.
Hans then turned and held his sword to him. Jack widens his eyes at the sight.
"Hans, what are you doing?" he asked.
"As thirteenth in line in my kingdom, I didn't stand a chance." Hans explained.
"What are you talking about?" asked Jack, confused at what he meant.
"I knew that I would have to marry into the throne somewhere." Hans explained further.
"As heir, Elsa was suitable, but the only one getting anywhere with her was you. I figured if something happened between you two, I would have to stage a little accident for you both."
Jack began to show a glare.
"Hans, you-"
Hans then punched Jack across the face, knocking him to the ground.
"I'm sorry, Jack." He said, as bent down and took Jacks staff.
He walked toward the window, and closed the curtain over it.
"But I can't let you get in the way."
Hans then walks to the table and took a pitcher of water. He then went to the fire-place and poured it over the fire inside. The burning flames were put out, darkening the room.
"Arrendelle needs a hero to save it from destruction." Hans explained, looking to Jack, who stared back in an angered look.
"All that's left now is to kill Elsa, and bring back summer."
Jack pulled himself off the ground.
"I won't let you." Jack said.
Hans only smirked at the words Jack had said.
"No, you won't." He said, as he held Jacks staff in both his hand and then snapped it into two.
Hans throw the two pieces before Jack. He then turned walked out the door. He closed behind him, locking Jack inside.
Jack got back onto his feet; he tried to walk to the door. But he then collapsed, knocking a small table with a flower vase with him. Jack pulled himself off the ground. He looked to the shattered vase of flowers to see a rose. One he had set beside the tomb stones of Elsa`s parents. Jack moved closer to the rose and took hold of it. He looked down at it, knowing that he made a promise to protect Elsa. But he failed in doing so.
Jack closed his hand around the stem.
"Spencer, Catha, I'm sorry." He said.
Meanwhile, in the dining hall, the duke and the others were waiting for the prince of the southern isle. Just then, Hans came into the room. Everyone looked to him.
"How is he?" one of them asked.
"I afraid its worse than we thought." Hans explained.
"He's been working with Elsa this whole time."
"What?!" The Duke said.
"He came only to free her, but I stopped him before he could."
"I knew it!" the Duke said, looking to the others. "There's no doubt about it, Queen Elsa and the boy are monsters and we are all in great danger."
The Spanish Dignitary looked to Hans.
"Prince Hans, Arrendelle looks to you now."
Hans gave a brief sigh, acting like what he was going to do would be hard. But really, he was smiling inside. This was the opportunity he had waited for.
"I place Queen Elsa, Guilty for crimes against Arrendelle." He said, choosing the fate she will suffer.
"And sentence her to death."
Meanwhile, back in the library, Jack was laying in front of fire-place. The curse upon him was spreading through his body. His skin was turning white with frost, his bone as cold as the winter breeze. Jack thought about the promise he had failed to keep to the king and queen.
He promised to protect Elsa, but now, she was going to die. He kept saying to himself, it was all his fault. Everyone was suffering cause of him. Jack closed his eyes, waiting for the curse to turn him to full ice and hope that Elsa would be on the other side, waiting for him.
Suddenly, he heard the noise of the door knob trying to be opened. Jack looked to the door.
"Help!" he said, hoping that they could hear him with his weak voice.
The door knob then stopped for a short period. It then turned and slowly sung open. As the other side of the door came into view, a long carrot sticking from the lock. A long stick arm reach up and took the carrot. It was Olaf.
"Here we go." He said, as he placed the carrot back into place
The snowman then saw Jack lying on the ground.
He gasped.
"Jack, Oh no!" he said, as he came up to Jack.
Olaf looked all around for something to warm Jack. He saw the fire-place and a fresh batch of logs beside it. He ran to the logs of wood, he took them in his arms and threw them in the pit.
"Hold on, Jack." He said, looking to him.
"I'll get you warmed up."
Olaf then took the matches; he fired up one of the small sticks and threw it into the fire pit. The flames then appeared and Olaf was amazed.
"Wow." He said, putting his hand up to the warmth of the fire.
Jack looked to him and gasped.
"Olaf, get away from there!" He warned, but the snow man didn't listen.
"So this is heat, I love it." He said, getting lost in amazement.
But then he remembered Jack.
"Oh, Jack!"
The snowman came up to Jack, he help him to the fire-place, getting him into the warmth.
"So didn't you find Elsa?" asked Olaf, seeing the palace in wreck and that Elsa was gone.
"It's too late, now." Said Jack, believing there's no hope for him or Elsa anymore.
"What?" Olaf said.
"I failed her, and now she's going to die cause of me."Jack said, looking down in sadness.
"But you came all this way." Olaf said, seeing that Jack crossed through the mountains to find his friend.
Jack looked to Olaf. He saw that water was starting to come from him.
"Olaf get back, your melting." He said, concerned for his friend.
"It's alright, some people are worth melting for." Said Olaf, smiling to him.
"You went through the mountains just to get Elsa back, so I can be here with you. That's what friends do, thats true love."
Jack then had a thought, he slowly reached into his pocket and pulled out the small wooden doll North had gave him. He recalled back to what he said, the centre of what makes him who he is. Jack showed care and protection to Elsa and his loved ones. Olaf was right about him, he crossed through storms, he stood against the ones who wanted Elsa gone and even fought wolves, all that to get Elsa, his friend. He still wanted Elsa safe more than anything and he wasn't about to let this curse stop him from doing it.
Jack wrapped his hand around the doll, as he then used all his strength, and got back on his feet. He looked to his broken staff. He walked over to the two pieces and took them in his hands. He came back up and put the two pieces together, but nothing happened. Jack tried again, putting them together with all his strength. There was then a small flash ol light. Jack looked up and saw that his staff was fixed.
He smiled. Jack looked back to the window, he swiped his staff, making a powerful wave of ice emerged and broke through the glass. A gust of a storms wind came into the room, putting out the fire. He looked to Olaf.
"We have to get to the prison, that's where she is." He said, looking to Olaf.
"Right, let's go!" Olaf said in response.
Jack ran and leaped out the window and flew around the castle, trying to get the prison. Meanwhile in the dungeon, Elsa was trying to pull he hands out of the ice-covered, chained shackles. She pulled and pulled, but there was no use. She sighed in depression. There was no escape from this. Outside the window, Jack came into view.
He saw Elsa trying to get herself free.
"Hold on, Elsa." He said, as he backed away and touched the window.
Frost began to spread to every corner of the window. Elsa looked back and saw the frost emerging on the glass. Suddenly, she heard voices of guards coming. She gasped, knowing that they were coming. Elsa pulled on the shackles, trying to get free.
The window than shattered. Elsa looked back and saw a way out. Jack came in through the window.
"Elsa!" he said, relieved to find Elsa alive and unharmed.
"Jack!" she said back.
Jack came up to her. He slashed his staff down, shattering the chains and breaking the shackles.
"Come one, we have to go!" Jack said, taking her by the hand.
Elsa nodded. The two rant to the window and climbed outside, where the storm fell rapidly.
Back inside the dungeon, the guards came through the door, only to find that Elsa was gone. Hans then came inside, he glared, seeing that Elsa was gone.
"Jack," he said, knowing he did it.
