Frozen in Time
Sorry for not updating before, but I had a farly long weekend, was out of the house all day Saturday and had to clean up the house for company after I got back from church. Enjoy the chapter, I don't mean for it to happen again.

By the time Jack got outside, the lake had been frozen over. To find Elsa, he teamed up with Anna and Along the way, Kristoff and Sven. 'Well, here we go.' he thought.
Anna is actually the one who suggested that Jack go on ahead with his flying powers. The only reason he agreed was the opportunity to talk to Elsa... Alone. He toke off instantly in hopes to cheer up Elsa like he always used to.
Jack arrived in no time at all, though it was most likely that the palace was very obvious. He knocked and the door swung open.
"Elsa!" Jack called.
"Jack?" Elsa responded.
"Jack!" Elsa cried in happiness as she hugged him.
At first, Jack was dazed. What happened to his kind and fair Elsa? All he could say was "Wow", not only at the palace, but at her. She was so... Different. Not bad different, no definitely not bad.
"You like it?" She had a playful gleam in her eye, like she normally had around Jack.
"Elsa..."
She dropped her head. "You don't like it?"
He almost had a panic attack. "NO! I really love it. It's beautiful, Elsa. It's something else."
Her head cocked to the side. "What is it?"
He couldn't find the words. All the time they had spent together having fun was so special to him. "Elsa, I-I don't know how to say this..."
"You're afraid, just like everyone else! What do you think I am, Jack..." she began to sob.
"No, Elsa. I'm not afraid of you. I'm afraid of me." Jack said soothingly.

Fear began to overcome her. "Just GO! I don't want to hurt you, Jack! If anything happened to you I'd never forgive myself!" She ran away up the stairs.
"I'm not afraid, you don't have to protect me!
Please don't shut me out again,
Please don't slam the door.
You don't have to keep your distance anymore..."
Jacks smooth singing filled the halls
"Cause for the first time in forever,
You don't have to be afraid,
For the first time in forever
I can hold you hand in hand
We can head down this mountain together
Cause for the first time in forever,
I will be right here."
Elsa began to sing to,
"Jack, please go back,
You're life awaits.
Go enjoy your snow
And make your own place."
"Yeah, but..."
"I know, you mean well,
But leave me be,
Yes I'm alone,
But I'm alone and free!
Just stay away and you'll be safe from me."
"Actually I'm not."
"What do you mean you're not?"
"I get the feeling you don't know.."
"What do I not know?!"
Jack pulled her close and breathed out, "I love you."
Elsa was shocked. 'First, he was on an assignment which involves me, then, he gets uber friendly with me, and when he finds out I'm going to be queen, he starts shutting me out and won't stop criticizing himself. Now he loves me?!' Elsa thought bitterly. She glared at him with her icy blue eyes. Jack suddenly felt everything inside him break, crash, and stop as he fell back.
"You never loved me, but I always loved you." He said deeply hurt.
"Jack..." Elsa began
"No, I understand. Love was deprived from you during your childhood, and you therefore won't give in to love. I completely understand, Elsa. It's not a problem."Jack looked away from Elsa as a tear rolled down his cheek. He smiled weakly and said, "Goodbye, Elsa." as he flew out the window.
"What have I done?" Elsa hugged herself in hopes of calming down. Her body racked with sobs, and she was so close to hysteria when she heard her sister call her.

"Elsa?" Anna called into the palace. It really was beautiful. When she saw her sister, she gasped. "wow..." Anna breathed.
Her sister was in a striking gown of beautiful... Was that snow? In was just breath taking.
"Anna," Elsa smiled at her, regaining her composure.
"Where's Jack?" Anna asked innocently.
Hiding her shock that Elsa said something that sounded so heartless, that Anna couldn't stand it. "Gone. I watched him leave." she smirked as she added, "Won't be coming back. Ever."
"Elsa! He really loved you, ya know! You could see it in the way he talked to you, spent time with you, or even played with you!"She looked like she was going to burst. "He never stopped talking about," she paused, "about how perfect you were! Now I see you are just a horrible heartless soul that only hurts!"
"Anna..." Elsa warned.
"No, I'm not afraid of you. But you're not the sister I love anymore."
"ENOUGH!" Elsa screamed at the top of her lungs. A horrible gasp from her sister escaped before Kristoff came in.
"Are you okay?" He asks, sounding concerned.
Anna glared daggers at Elsa. "Yea. Come on, lets go." Anna and Kristoff left.

"Oh, poor little Elsa, cursed with these 'powers'.." An unfamiliar voice sets in.
"Who are you?" asked Elsa, hiding her fear.
"Let me ask you a question; Do you believe in the boogeyman?"
