Alright, honestly you guys have been getting these chapters sooner than usual two week schedule because I don't have much else to do. Just a warning, I only have the chapter concepts for the next two chapters. Some later chapters might take me more time to write about, unless I have sudden inspiration. I have the overall plot planned out; it's the individual chapters that are taking time.

Chapter 8

Reunion with the Forgotten

Elsa pov

I sat in my office looking over many of the papers that I had to attend to today. Putting down the latest form that required my signature, I thought about the events from last night. When we returned to the ball we found many of the nobles were angry at the cold that they had to endure and scared that I was going to attack them. Once they saw us many had demanded an explanation. We told them all what transpired in town, Hans, the soldiers, everything. With the sword they were able accept what happened. Some were curious about the one that the soldiers carried to the palace servants. I only told them that he saved our lives. I figured they didn't need to know he might be another one with powers.

Though many of them stayed and talked, it was more of a gathering of nations for a war than a ball. Many of them actually heard rumors of the Southern Isles trying to make alliances with certain kingdoms like Weselton for any possible war effort. After we all talked with one another, they left to inform the kingdoms of this and prepare for conflict. Of course I felt that they mainly left because of me and my powers.

Even though we all talked with one another there was no assurance as to whether or not they would stand with Arendelle. While I talked with the nobles, I had the guards search for Prince Than. The guards came up with nothing in the castle and when some went to block off his ship so that he couldn't escape, it was already gone.

My thoughts came to the man from last night, Jack Frost. There were so many things I wanted to know. Where he came from, who he was and why I had a memory of him. My curiosity got the better of me I left my office. I walked to the room that we set up for him.I entered the room and I saw him lying down in the bed we prepared for him, asleep. It took a long time for the servants to extract all the wood and glass, but they got it all out. Most of his back had to be bandaged due to the cuts and burns, burns that were meant for me. I was assured that there was little to no injuries to his internal organs, which I was thankful for. The strange thing about it all was when the guards brought him to the servants for treatment they were sure he was already dead. A body cold as ice, pale complexion like a corpse, it could have happened to anyone. They only started to treat him when he stirred a little bit.

"Hey Elsa"

I turned to see Anna sitting in a chair with a book in hand. "Anna, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with Kristoff?" Anna stated "His clothes were ruined from yesterday so Kristoff went down into town get some new clothes for him. I also told him to get shoes as well. He didn't seem to have any when he came to us."

"Well that explains Kristoff but what about you, what are you doing here?"

"I figured when you were finished with the paper work you would show up here eventually"

"What makes you say that? I could not have visited him at all" Anna gave me a look that embodied the word 'Really?' "Elsa he's like you, I figured that you get curious enough to show up" Anna finished as she stood up and placed her book on the dresser. I silently acknowledged that. I couldn't resist coming here. Knowing that the fire user existed made me happy just to know I wasn't the only one out there with powers. Anna said "He kind of cute isn't he?"

"Anna, you have a husband." I scolded

Anna turned to me with a sly grin on her face "I wasn't suggesting him for me."

Before I could respond I heard "Just because someone's eyes are closed, it doesn't mean that they are asleep" We turned to look at him only to see him staring back at us. Anna asked nervously "ah, how long have you been awake?'

He smiled "I've been awake since you said my clothes were destroyed. Although I am grateful that I was left with my pants" He suddenly sat up and looking around the room anxiously "Hey, have either of you two seen my staff?" We looked wide eyed at him. "No, not that kind of staff, I meant my shepherd's crook"

"Oh, ha that staff. It's over there" Anna pointed over to the corner of the room where it rested. "I was worried it got broken or was missing" He said as he began to get up. He walked over and retrieved it. When he grasped the staff I saw frost crawl up along it. The sight captivated me until my concentration was broken by…

"So this is where you are your majesties"

We turned to see Gerda enter the room. "Princess Anna, here are the items Kristoff bought in the town. He is currently talking with Olaf in the courtyard." Gerda then placed the clothes on the dresser near the window. "Is there anything else you majesties?"

"No thank you Gerda" I replied. Gerda then left the room and closed the door behind her. Jack questioned "Items?"

Anna answered "Yeah your clothes were ruined so I had Kristoff go out and buy you some"

He smiled "Thank you"

He looked between us "Mind if I put them on?"

"Of course Jack" I said.

Anna and I left the room to give him some privacy. After I closed the door Anna asked "You said that name down in the town yesterday. How do you know his name is Jack?" To answer her question I told her about the vision I saw when I combined the snowflakes. "Wait a minute you're sure he's the guy you saw?" I nodded. "How did that all…" She was interrupted by the opening of the door.

Jack walked out wearing the new clothes Kristoff got him. He was wearing a blue shirt, with brown trousers and a cloak to complete the ensemble. The shirt I noticed had slightly frosted around his collar. The cloak itself was a blue that matched the shirt.

Anna asked "Well how do they feel?"

Jack stated "Great. I've never worn such nice clothes before."

"Really, they don't seem to be all that great a quality"

"I stand by what I said"

I noticed "You're not wearing the shoes he got you" Jack looked down at his feet "Yeah I'm…I'm not really one for footwear. I like the feeling of the ground beneath my feet"

I changed the subject "I have to admit you're pretty active for someone who was as injured as you."

"When you fall onto trees or the ground enough times you get used to any pain you have afterwards. Plus it helps to be not laying down on it."

"Hello everyone"

I turned to see Olaf walking towards us. Anna greeted "Hey Olaf"

Olaf turned to Jack "Oh you must be…."

"Jack Frost" he greeted.

Olaf said "Nice to meet you Jack…" Olaf then gave him a strange look. Jack asked "What? Is there something on my face?"

Olaf answered "No it's just….you're the first person not to be freaked by me. They're usually all like 'AHHHHH! A TALKING SNOWMAN!' there's some screaming, running around, I've even made some people faint. When Anna first met me she kicked off my head."

"She kicked off you head?"

Olaf then lifted his head off his body to demonstrate. "I can even do this" Olaf then rearranged his body parts so that his torso was upside down, his legs were where his arms were supposed to be, and his head was supported by one of his arms while the other held him up. Jack exclaimed "Oh that is cool!" I was stunned; cool was not how most people would describe Olaf. Olaf questioned as he changed himself back to the way he was "You're really not freaked out by me?"

Jack confessed "Sorry to tell you this Olaf, but I've been traveling for a long time. On a list of 'Strangest Things I've ever seen' a talking snowman is near the bottom."

"Really?" Olaf asked.

"Really" He asserted.

Olaf beamed "Awesome! You must have some great stories."

"Maybe I'll tell you sometime."

Olaf said "Oh I just remembered Elsa, Anna come with me you have to see this. See you later Jack"

We walked through the halls heading to…my room? We entered my room wondering what this was all about. Olaf then headed straight for the chest saying "The horn has been glowing since last night" I sighed "Olaf how many times do I have to tell you? Horns don't glow."

Olaf then lifted the horn out of the chest and it was quickly pulsing with a bright light. He then placed it on my bed. "See I told you it glowed" We were speechless as we approached the horn. "This proves that he's the guy"

Anna asked "Wait a minute. You think the horn is glowing because of Jack"

"Yeah. He has a staff and he is pretty young looking. He fits the bill"

"Olaf I don't know why the horn is glowing but…" The horn suddenly stopped pulsing. We looked at it wondered why it stopped. Then it glowed brightly. "Hey Anna, you left your book in my room". We turned to see Jack enter the room. "Here you go" He gave Anna the book. He then looked down at the horn and a smile emerged on his face "Well, we don't need this on anymore" He then touched the horn and it stopped glowing.

He turned to face us "I suppose I haven't introduced myself properly. My name is Jack Frost. I'm a winter spirit."

We just stood there; we didn't know what to say. He deactivated the horn, was this really the guy? If this was really the guy though shouldn't he be older? I look older than him. If it was him though why did he come? Then I remembered the inscription. For you to be found, the horn you must sound. Could this guy have come because I used the horn? The magic, could it have attracted someone?

"Elsa!" I heard from the hall and Jacob walked in "You weren't in your office so I had to look for you. Well I'm here to tell you that…" He stopped as Jack turned to look at him.

"Hey there Jacob, it's been a long time" Jack greeted.

Jacob looked at him as if he was puzzled by him. Then his eyes lit up and he asked uncertainly "Jack Frost?"

Jack smiled "That's my name don't wear it..."

Jacob scooped him in a great bear hug that lifted him off the ground. Gauging from the noise he made Jacob was putting Jack through some pain (I'm sure putting pressure on his injuries wasn't helping). Jacob exclaimed "Oh it so good to see you after all these years Jack!"

Jack said "It's nice to see you too Jacob."

Jacob put him back on the ground; well he fell onto my bed, wincing from the pain. Jacob said "This was the man I told you all about" Olaf chimed "See I told you!" Well that takes care of any doubt I had about him.

Anna questioned "I thought you said you couldn't remember his name."

Jacob admitted "I couldn't, not until I saw his face. Ever since last night I started to feel some of my memories come back."

He turned to Jack "Where were you all these years? After Anna and Elsa's parents died I went out to look for you"

"You left them alone?!" Jack accused

Jacob countered "I had to go and find you. Elsa needed you to help her get her powers under control. If she had her powers under control she could be reunited with Anna and they wouldn't be alone anymore."

I was shocked at this. This was the real reason why Jacob left us. He left because of me. I was saddened by this, if it wasn't for me he wouldn't have left and Anna wouldn't had been alone all these years. My thoughts were interrupted by Anna grabbed my hand and held it. I looked at her and she was smiling at me. She didn't blame me and I smiled back at her.

I really don't deserve someone as kind as you Anna.

"What was the point in looking if you didn't know who I was? If you didn't believe in me you couldn't see me!"

"Well, I didn't remember that bit. Be thankful for what I could remember."

"Yeah, but they were crying after that. For pity's sake Elsa couldn't even show up for their funeral because she felt so alone."

I chimed in "How do you know about that?"

Jack admitted "I came around for the funeral. I also checked up on you two for a couple days after that" He checked on us? Just how much has he been a part of our lives?

"Well I came to tell you all that lunch will be served soon. I'll leave you all to get reacquainted until then" Jacob ended

When Jacob left we all gathered around Jack, deciding to start us off I asked "Jack, would you mind if I ask you something personal?"

He raised an eyebrow "Sure, what do you want to know?"

"It's about your invisibility." Anna interrupted "Yeah that was kind of weird, you were there and you weren't there"

Jack said "Oh, that well…..it's always been like that. As far back as I can remember. I was kind born with it."

Born with it? He's always been that way? That would mean he's cursed like me. Wait, if he's cursed with that then why…

I asked "Why can we see you now though?"

Jack explained "I can only be seen by those that believe in me. Why you can see me now? I guess you believe in me." Anna asked "Well how come I could see you, I didn't believe in you back then." After Anna asked her question I looked at Jack's face. Even though he had a small smile on his face I could see the hurt in his eyes over what she just said. I guess that's what Jacob meant about his eyes when he about talked him.

"You could see me because you have been touched by Elsa's magic. Sometimes when you combine the magic of two different people you get some interesting results. Sometimes they create something spectacular, horrifying or strange. It seems when Elsa and I combine our magic you can see me."

"So if Elsa believed in you and she combined her magic, is it making me believe in you?"

"No one can make you believe anything Anna. It's just letting you see what Elsa sees. Well that's technically not true, the effects don't last forever. Without your own belief you wouldn't see me anymore."

I thought back to my vision and everything that happened. Before it I was unable to see him because I didn't know he existed. Once I heard his name through the memory, I knew who he was. It was then that I believed he was real. Maybe that's why everyone else can see him. When I froze Arendelle everyone was touched by my magic, although last night didn't help the matter much.

I asked "What kind of consequences could this have? Sickness? Fatigue?"

Jacob's memory loss of you?

"There could be, but I don't know." Jack answered. "Well anyway I'm glad you guys could see me again and had Jacob bandage me up."

Anna retorted "Jacob didn't treat you, the other servants did"

Jack asked surprised "Wait, they could see me?!"

"Yeah, the servants, the people at the ball, the guards…"

"Wait. So in summary, everyone here can see me" Anna nodded.

Jack turned to me "All right, either a lot more people believe in me then I originally thought, which I seriously doubt. Or your powers are publically known meaning people have come in contact with it. Which is it Elsa?"

I answered uneasily "Um, the second opinion"

"Really?"

"Really"

Jack laughed merrily "Excellent! I knew you could do it! I mean when I saw you in your dress I knew you accepted yourself but to have everyone know about it. That's a different thing entirely. You probably made a skating rink or had one heck of a snowball fight when you showed them your powers for the first time. All these years your parents tried to hide them and you come out yourself. Good for you Elsa." He doesn't know. He doesn't know what I did last year. It doesn't seem anyone else wants to tell him either.

Olaf asked "So what was your relationship with their parents like?"

Jack scratched the back of his head "Well, they liked me and they didn't like me."

Anna stated "Well that makes sense"

Jack explained "Well they liked that I was Elsa's friend; I kind of kept her out of their hair and some other reasons. They just didn't agree with how she was not acting like 'proper' princess and my lessons about your powers. In my opinion though, you never had more fun without me. Especially when we had Anna join in on the fun, you always liked that"

I smiled "Yeah, they were more about hiding my powers and being a proper princess was drilled into me."

Gerda walked in "Your majesties lunch is ready. Shall I prepare a spot for our guest?" I confirmed that and stood up "Well we better go eat before it gets cold." Jack laughed "You're starting to sound like Jacob."

"Yes well, after lunch I'm going to work in my office for most of the afternoon filling out paper work."

Jack insisted "Come on things like that can wait. After everything that's happened you deserve a break. Have some fun Elsa"

I huffed "I am being responsible Jack. Working hard is a part of daily life. Though I get the feeling you aren't the type to understand that" I left the room after that.

Anna pov

After Elsa left the room Jack turned to us "Is she usually like that?"

Olaf continued "Yeah, she's workaholic"

I answered "She'll probably work herself to death"

Jack smiled mischievously "Well, we better do something about that. It's for her own good."

"For whose own good?" I looked to the doorway to see Kristoff standing there. "For Elsa's we think we need to get her to relax."

Kristoff said "Though I agree, who is this guy?"

I asked "Remember the guy Jacob told us about?" Kristoff nodded. I pointed towards Jack and Kristoff eyes widened. "Wait you mean this guy is…"

"Yep."

"Oh wow."

Jack held out his hand "Jack Frost, nice to meet you Kristoff." Kristoff shook his hand "Nice to meet you too Jack." They released hands, but Kristoff started rubbing his hands together "Woo, no offense but your ice cold" Jack shrugged "I've always been like that. Now come on lunch is ready. We better go before Jacob drags us there." We gladly left the room so that we could eat and so that I could tell Kristoff what Jack had told us.

There you have an explanation to why they can see him. It's not the best of concepts but I wanted them to see him. Just so it's not another fan fic where Jack and Elsa have to sneak around since she can only she can see Jack.

The next chapter will be about Jack telling them about what happened after chapter one. Some other things as well.
