CHAPTER 3: A Great Deal

Captain Jack Frost? Fiancée?!

Out of all the pirates in the seven seas, of course, due to her luck, the most famous and scariest Captain captured her.

"Excuse me? Fiancée? Can we please get to the part where you feed me to the sharks? I would rather be eaten by sharks than be your fiancée." Elsa spat those words sarcastically, knitted her eyebrows in annoyance.

She wasn't going to beg, wasn't going to ask for mercy. She would prefer to die if a pirate humiliated her.

Captain Frost's lips curled up, almost in amusement. "I thought queens didn't have a sense of humor... Merida, bring her to my cabin." he ordered, his attention wasn't on Elsa anymore.

Elsa couldn't take it anymore when the redhead, tough-looking woman grabbed her from her handcuff again.

She had to do something crazy, absolutely insane. Or else, she probably wouldn't have a chance to escape from this ship ever again.

Earlier, she tried to at least pull out the gloves, but her wrists were glued together, she was handcuffed so tightly that she couldn't move her wrists or hands freely. She could move her fingers, but they didn't have enough strength to pull out those stupid gloves. The gloves felt like they were a part of her body... And she didn't like it.

She had to escape without using her powers... So Elsa slammed her elbow to Merida. While the woman was yelping because of the sudden pain, Elsa ran towards the sea and quickly threw herself to the deep, enormous sea see without hesitation, without letting someone from the ship crew to catch her.

She stretched out her handcuffed hands to her front, used her feet and legs to swim. She could barely manage to take a breath because the waves were swallowing her whole head. She knew she couldn't last long with this swimming position, but she wasn't going to let herself to be imprisoned by the pirates without causing trouble and effort.

As the salty water hit her nose and her mouth, Elsa coughed instinctively. She was drowning around the merciless waves... Until a pair of muscular arms grabbed her body and began to swim in the opposite direction. Elsa didn't fight back or help the person to move more easily. She did nothing while she was accepting her defeat.

When they managed to come to the ship, someone from the deck threw them a rope. The auburn-haired young man pulled the rope to check if it was tightly knotted. When he was sure that it was safe, he handed the rope to Elsa. He managed to pull out a key from his pocket and unlock Elsa's handcuff.

"Climb. Astrid will handcuff you again, don't try to do anything." Hiccup ordered with a serious, a bit scary tone. Even though not quiet completely, he seemed angry.

Elsa obeyed in silence, clung the rope, began to climb. When she was really close to the deck, the blonde haired woman extended her hand. Elsa accepted her hand, she held on to Astrid whereas she was staring at the wooden floor.

"Let's dry you." Astrid murmured while she was pushing Elsa softly to somewhere. Both young women ignored the death stare from the redhead woman and the taunting laughter of the rest of the crew.


"Queen Elsa, I don't like to be waited. For the next time, please don't try to escape just before our meeting."

This was how Captain Jack Frost greeted her when Elsa came to his cabin. She was dry now, Astrid gave her a simple dress which was purple, then much to Elsa's dismay, she handcuffed the queen. Elsa didn't cause more trouble, Astrid was nothing but sweet to her all the time.

Captain Frost was sitting on an expensive, comfortable looking chair. In front of him, there was a wooden table. On top of the table were full of maps, fountain pens and also, there was a compass. Captain Frost's feet were on the table, plus, he had his boots on. His attention was on a book. He didn't stare at Elsa, not even for once.

They were alone in the room, it was just the queen and the Captain... Captain's cabin was of course, better than the place where the crew was resting at. It was decorated very simply but it was also chic and classy.

"How much do you want?" Elsa broached the subject immediately.

"Getting straight to the point, huh? For the records, I don't want your money, your highness."

"What do you want, then?" Elsa felt herself asking, couldn't help but be curious.

Captain Frost finally raised his head to see the beautiful queen in front of him. "I've talked with the people who had seen you... They told me about your beauty. Nevertheless, you are prettier than they had described." he declared his thoughts, Elsa didn't know if he was flirting or not. He seemed really casual, wasn't shy or ashamed of what he had just said.

If she was honest with herself, she would admit that she thought the same thing about him too. Of course, she heard about Captain Jack Frost and his good-looking features... But he was definitely more handsome than she had imagined only just for three seconds.

"Don't beat around the bush, give me a proper answer." Elsa ordered with a sneering and determined tone.

Captain Frost's lips curled up cunningly, he slowly got up from his seat, dropped the book on the table as he rested his blue eyes on Elsa's. Feeling uncomfortable from that gaze, Elsa stepped away from him a little bit.

The man removed his pirate hat, which resembled that he was the captain, he was the one who was in charge of this pirate ship. When he gently put the hat on the table and looked at her in the eye again, Elsa finally took a closer look at him.

He was still young, at most two or three years older than her. His snow-white silvery hair was messy, it add some character to his sharp features. Somehow his eyes seemed deeper and prettier, now. They were shining with intelligence. He wasn't the egotistical, cunning, cold and scary captain, not anymore. Now, he was a young, harmless man.

Though, Elsa felt nervous and disturbed when he began to walk towards her. Instinctively, she stepped back with his every step. However, she had to stop when her back hit the wall. The man stopped too, although their bodies were just inches apart.

Elsa turned her head to left, shut her eyelids down tightly, waited for the man to do something bad to her.

Instead, she heard a soft click. Elsa opened her eyes widely when she heard that sound. Her wrists weren't surrendered by the handcuffs anymore, they were completely free.

"I apologize for the handcuff and the gloves... We had to be sure that you wouldn't attack. You may remove the gloves now." Captain Frost spoke calmly, his breath was tickling her face.

Elsa turned her head towards the man, their noses were a few inches apart. "What if I attack you, even kill you with my ice powers? You won't be able to do anything." she challenged the man, didn't care about the consequences.

The captain chuckled in a low tone. "Let's say you killed or defused me. You wouldn't be able to win over a crew which consists of 51 people. And for the records, you are not a person who is capable of killing." he almost made fun of her with that annoyingly taunting tone while he was finally walking back towards the table.

Elsa made a fist. "Just because I am a queen, doesn't mean that I am not capable of killing." she growled, tried to sound threatening and frightening.

"I knowyou won't do that. Of course, the royal family, the nobles are capable of killing too. And I bet, even some of you took more lives than I could have ever taken. You all seem like an angel, but you are the real devil itself." the young man responded wisely while Elsa couldn't help but kinda agree with him.

Some people (for instance, Hans) were even more dangerous than the pirates. Pirates accepted that they were dirty thieves, murderers. There were greater evils than pirates because pirates weren't fake, were at least, plain and simple.

"You still haven't answered my question, Captain Jack Frost." Elsa reminded him with a bored tone.

"Why don't you sit down and relax? I don't want you to feel like you are my prisoner, because you really are not. Everything will make sense if you let me explain." the Captain made a statement, surprisingly, with a very mature look on his face.

Elsa supposed it wouldn't hurt to listen to his suggestion as she sat down on the chair that was in front of the chair he was currently sitting on.

She didn't expect... this. She heard so many rumors of Captain Jack Frost. According to what she had heard, Captain Jack Frost and his crew sank many ships, both pirate and royal navy ships. They took, stole every valuable item, even if it meant to kill many people. They showed no mercy... Captain Frost and his crew were one of the scariest pirates. They were the worst nightmare of a regular sailor. Even the mention of his name was enough to give goosebumps to the sailors.

And yet, as the glorified, famous Captain was in front of the Queen of Arendelle, she doubted if those rumors were really true. He spoke very calmly and kindly, like a civilized person. He showed mercy to her, even apologized.

"I captured you, your majesty, because of the circumstances. A queen would never talk to a pirate by actually wanting to. As I said before, I handcuffed you and made you wear those magical gloves which absorb your powers, because I feared that you might have attacked my sailors." the Captain began his explanation with a collected voice.

"That is understandable. But still, it doesn't change the most horrifying fact: You've called me your fiancée." Elsa interrupted the handsome man while she was remembering that sentence. It was nauseating, she literally had an urge to puke.

The pirate raised his chin, looked even more serious than before. "I want you to marry me, your majesty."

Elsa's blood ran cold once again, just like the first time when he had said 'my fiancée'. The young queen stood up immediately, felt her veins boil in anger.

"How dare you!? I would never marry a filthy, low, disgusting pirate! You are a thief, a murderer!" she claimed while she was pointing her index finger to him with a blaming voice.

"You are being immature. Sit down and listen to me, it is not like I am torturing you." he responded, was still calm and confident.

"Are you kidding me? Marrying a pirate? This is the worst torture!" Elsa yelled at him rudely, slammed her fist to the table, which was really not a queenly behavior.

The young man eventually stood up, he looked like he was about to lose his temper. "You nobles are all the same, you always scorn the peasants, the lower group." he shouted back, his tone was suddenly scary.

"It is not that! Even if I was a peasant, I still wouldn't marry you! Your hands are bloody. You've hurt many people. You are a criminal!" Elsa accused him, her confident voice was becoming more hopeless and fearful.

The Captain opened his mouth to respond, but suddenly closed it when he saw the fear in her eyes. He sighed, almost tiredly. "Look, I am not pushing you to marry me. Just listen to me. You will decide, alright? I will let you go, I promise." he soothed her, his voice became calm and soft again.

His blue eyes were softer now, too.

Elsa nodded reluctantly whereas they were both sitting down again.

"I want to marry you not because I am a sadist who wants to torture you. I want to marry you because I need power. You know Captain Pitch, right?" Jack Frost eventually got straight to the point, didn't hedge.

Elsa nodded in agreement once again. Just like Captain Jack Frost, Captain Pitch was also pretty famous. Maybe, even more famous than Frost. He was older than him, he has been a pirate for many years... Sure, Jack Frost was fearsome too, but Pitch had an unbreakable reputation.

"He is my nemesis, my worst enemy. I have to defeat him or else, he will get rid of me. We both are the strongest pirates in the world, we both want to truly rule over the seven seas. And truth be told, I can't beat him without help... I need your power. You are the Queen of Arendelle, you can give me supplies like guns, clothes, water and food. Not so many dealers give heavy guns, but you can give me any type of gun as much as I want. I also want your best sailors and soldiers to fight against Pitch." the Captain explained with a deep tone, he seemed really focused.

Elsa frowned. "But you don't have to marry me for having this arrangement. We could have made a simpler deal instead." she remonstrated, finally sounded calm.

The man smirked. "I want to give something to you in exchange. You are right, marrying you won't give me any privileges. However, it will help you a lot."

"What do you mean?" Elsa's frown became deeper as Jack's smirk became wider.

"You have to get married until 23, or else, you will have to abdicate the throne... Who is a better suitor than me? I am a rich, handsome young man who doesn't want to be a king. If you marry me, you will be a queen who has no king because I will be a pirate no matter what. You will be able to rule your kingdom in peace while you don't have to be worried over your husband. If you marry me and give me the supplies that I need, I will never attack your kingdom's ships ever again, plus, you will have a chance to defeat Captain Pitch." Jack propounded his logic.

Elsa narrowed her eyes. He was right, there wasn't really a better suitor. The suitors, kings and princes wanted to marry her because they wanted her wealth and power. Jack Frost wanted her power too, but at least, he said that he was going to stay away from her.

Elsa didn't want to wake up with someone she wasn't in love with. If she married a royal, she would have to be in an actual relationship with them. And she didn't want this. She didn't want a man touch her, to invade her privacy. She preferred to be alone...

This deal was too good to be true.

"I have more advantages than you. Why do you propose an offer like this? You could have easily imprisoned me, threatened my sister to get what you want." she wondered aloud curiously.

Jack Frost sneered tauntingly. "It is humiliating, isn't it? The pirate you call filthy, low, disgusting is more civilized than you."
