Hello Everybody! I hope you still following this story and didn't get too desperate for the waiting. About the previous chapter, I didn't have high hopes for it but I was wrong because you loved it; I hope you also like this one as much as the previous one and also, I'm surprised that some people want Elsa and Linus to spent more time together. It's refreshing to read a comment like that.

300 Reviews! WOW! I'm so happy! Thank you for your patience and here is your reward: Chapter 14! Yey! Now, I'd like to clarify that it doesn't matter how long it takes for me to upload please don't think that I abandoned the fic. I followed as a guest some other stories and it was really disappointed when they were abandoned; and with that experience I don't want to do the same to you.

Aliya: Yes, Elsa lost her motivation and her ice is yellow because she's scared; in the movie, the ice palace's color changed according to Elsa's mood. Cecile is selfish, she doesn't want Linus to be happy with Elsa. Villagers from Tallak have an image of Elsa that is starting to change slowly.

Sailor Fayth 09: I like how you get involve with the characters and I'm surprised that you didn't attempt to murder Linus.

moon72: Thank you for your support. Of course I don't want to censure you! You're free to write whatever you think, want or feel like; I know you're not a medium but is funny to mention it. It's so great that you liked how Elsa feels about the Linus' harassment, I got the idea and wrote it but my editor helped me to move and change some details; it was a team work!

strongyu: Why are you feeling attacked? Believe me, it was never my intention; it was sort of a joke and you have to admit that it was a really good cliffhanger.

FrozenParody: it's okay, do what you feel like just don't stress you. 'Let me Go' is finished I just need to give it to my editor to check the narration.

Tarako: Wow! You're the first one who ask for Jack not to save her... yet. I liked to work with this 'broken Elsa' too and don't worry She and Linus will have a lot of time together.

LoveLikeMe: LinusElsa? How happened? I'd like to hear your ideas and before Jack's intervention you will read a lot of LinusElsa.

RomanticChickNahJK: You can bet it will happen!

Caroline and Guests: No, I didn't abandon the story. I'm just having a difficult time to publish.

TheGirlInTheBlack: Thank you for the song you sent me!

English is not my first language. Thanks to Maika for checking the chapter.

YOU BELONG WITH ME

Angels with silver wings

Shouldn't know suffering

I wish I could take the pain for you

"What can you tell me about her?" Jack asked trying to keep his heart calm.

"Well…" a Guard hesitated.

"Why exactly you want to know about her?" interrupted other Guard hostile towards Jack.

"How did they meet? How did she arrive here?" Jack asked.

The group of guards seemed ashamed after the last question and avoided eye contact with Jack. He didn't like this; it was like they were trying to hide something.

"Sorry, Lad." Said the first guard. "But we cannot tell you anything about the personal life about the Royals."

"Oh, please." Jack insisted.

"He said no." The other guard answered seriously.

"Oh! Come on!" Jack wouldn't give up.

"You should go to pester other way." Said tiredly another guard. "And you can't convince us otherwise."

"I bet I can." Jack murmured.

"Not even if you gave us some gold." Added the third guard.

"Gold? Don't you mean corn?" the second guard laughed; the rest of the table burst out of laughing. "He's the son of a farmer after all." He said between laughers.

"Why does the son of a famer would mind Royalty?" asked the first guard.

They kept laughing at Jack and didn't notice him slipping his hand under the table; he formed four snowflakes on his palm and made them float to the Guards' nose.

He accidently found out that his snow magic could also affect grown ups; it made them easy to guide on do what he wanted. He used it to get the kids out of trouble—especially when it was his fault and not the kids'—he didn't like to use it on his behalf because it made him feel like he was manipulating people, but now it was a little exception.

The eyes of the guards sparkled and dizzied for a moment, they saw Jack and blinked for a few seconds.

"What we were talking about?" asked the third guard, like if their early conversation had never happened.

"You were telling me about Queen Elsa and King Linus' engagement." Said Jack smoothly looking to his fingernails.

"…Uhm, …The King," began to say the second guard. "He had a thing for Elsa of Arendelle since the first time he met her; that's what the rumor says."

"And She?" Jack was really curious, Elsa never mentioned Linus when they had the picnic on the palace's garden.

"She was the princess back then, and King Andor was still alive." Informed him the first guard. "Prince Linus tried to court her but he was always rejected by the King of Arendelle."

"This started to turn him into a desperate man." The second guard said. "But things changed after he attended to the funeral of the King and Queen of Arendelle, he started to declare war after war and conquered the near lands of Tallak."

"That's how Tallak became so miserable under King Linus' reign." Murmured the third guard.

"What about Elsa?" said Jack and received questionable gazes from the guards. He realized his mistake; he called Elsa by her first name and without her title. "I mean the Queen of Arendelle."

"It was her constant rejection that made him what he is now." The second guard said.

"But what is she doing here?" Jack didn't care about how long Linus has been in love with Elsa, he wanted to know why she agreed to marry him after she promised to wait for him, and why the guards looked uncomfortable when asked how she arrived to Tallak.

"He went to Arendelle to propose to her but as you can guess, she said no." The first guard said.

Jack felt relieved after hearing that; his eyes glowed from the first time since he heard about Elsa's engagement. The first guard sighed before continued.

"He arrived to Tallak really pissed off," He made a pause. "Then he ordered to prepare the army and part to Arendelle. We arrived at night and put the kingdom under siege." The guard lowed his head.

"King Linus threatened to sink a ship from Corona if the Queen didn't agree to marry him." The fourth guard, who was in silence during the tale, spoke. "That's how the loveable Snow Queen of Arendelle got engaged to our despicable King."

"She was forced to come here..." Jack mumbled.

"She didn't have a choice; it was to go with him or jeopardize her folk and innocent lives." Said the first guard ashamed.

Jack's head was spinning all over. He slowly stood up and walked to the exit.

"Where are you going, young lad?" asked one of the guards.

Jack ignored him and continued walking.

"Hey! Jack," A waitress tried to catch his attention. "Where are you…" but Jack didn't hear her. "…going?" she lowed her voice disappointed.

Jack stepped outside; that was too much information to assimilate. Elsa didn't betray him! She was forced to go with Linus. He placed his hand over his forehead.

'I was so wrong.' Jack finally understood the situation.

Elsa rejected Linus when he asked her to marry him; she didn't lie when she said, she was falling in love with him. She didn't break her promise on purpose but she had to, in order to protect innocent people from Linus.

"Please, let me explain you." She pleaded extending her hands to touch him again.

"You lied to me!" He stepped back so Elsa couldn't reach him.

"No, it's not like that." She felt a knot in her throat.

"You betrayed me!" he wasn't listening to her.

"Please, listen to me!" Elsa begged.

"What have I done?" he murmured feeling guilty after remembering how he acted the last time they saw each other.

He ran to the forest. He should have known better that Elsa wouldn't hurt him on purpose. She had spent thirteen years locked in order to keep Anna safe from her powers; it was logical that now, she sacrificed again for what it was the right thing to do. Even if that meant, to break her promised to him.

"Jack! Jack!" he heard someone calling him.

Jack turned around and saw North after him.

"North!" Jack ran to him anxiously. "I was wrong!"

"What?" Santa was confused.

"Elsa!" Jack started to run where the other Guardians were waiting for them. "I was wrong about her! It's not her fault!" he said while running.

The rest of the Guardians were surprised to see Jack rushing out from the bushes and North behind him trying to catch his breath. Normally, the two Guardians arrived at the same time and without running.

"Guys!" Jack yelled excited.

"What is it?" asked Tooth.

Babytooth flew around Jack.

"I was at the tavern and I heard some guards saying something about Arendelle." Jack started to speak really fast. "They said something about 'steal their Queen away' so, I asked them what they knew about her and then they said, they stole the Queen away from Arendelle!"

"Jack, slow down." North raised his hands, still trying to catch his breath. "What are you talking about?"

"I guess he finally lost it." Bunny murmured to Sandy.

"They said that Linus had been in love with Elsa for years… but, well that really doesn't matter right now." Bunny, Sandy and Tooth looked at him confused. "Elsa rejected his marriage proposal and he attacked Arendelle and was about to sink another kingdom's ship if Elsa didn't agree to marry him." Jack explained waving his hands.

Sandy smiled because now Jack had a chance to be with Elsa. North was starting to get worried; he didn't know how Elsa got engaged with the King but he knew Jack and now, he would go after her.

Santa didn't have anything against them being together; he just didn't want Jack to know what is to lose your loved one.

"Don't you see?" Jack threw his hands to the air. "She was kind of blackmailed and I… I…" He lowed his gaze. "I acted as a jerk." He looked to the Guardians worried. "Oh, no! She will never forgive me!" he said mortified.

"Maybe you should let some time pass before you apologize." North suggested.

"You're totally screwed up, boy." Bunny teased.

"Thank you for nothing, kangaroo." Jack replied him sarcastically.

Sandy floated in front of Jack and formed a snowflake on one of his hand; with the other hand, Sandy signalized Jack to leave.

"Should I go to find her now?" Jack asked.

Sandy smiled and with both hands commanded him to go.

"You're right! Thank you Sandy." He shook Sandy's hand and ran to grab his staff from North's sled.

"See you later, guys!" Jack shouted while he flew to the palace.

"Jack, wait!" Santa tried to catch his attention but was ignored.

A Guard was leading Elsa to the music room. She was feeling down and she thought a little of music might help her to cheer on.

She was covering her neck and shoulders with the pashmina Linus gave her. The man opened the door for her. She thanked him and walked in.

"I can play this song for you; it's your favorite." Cecile was saying to Linus.

He was sitting on a couch and Cecile was kneeled beside him. Linus was reading a book ignoring her; he lifted his gaze when he heard the door being opened, the person he was waiting for came in.

"Elsa," he said standing up of the couch. "I was informed that you wanted to play the piano, and I wanted to hear you. I'm sure you are a marvelous player."

He placed his hand behind his back and guided her to the black piano. Cecile stood up annoyed by the lack of attention she was getting. Elsa maintained a cold stare; she was good at hiding how disgusted she felt. Linus had her under surveillance all the time, and that made her feel sick and imprisoned.

"I'm really glad that you are wearing the pashmina I bought you." He said when he noticed it. "But there is something that bothers me…" he made a pause.

He moved the pashmina a little down revealing the hickeys he left on her. Cecile's face got red of rage and Elsa felt her personal space violated once again. Linus looked to the marks with proud.

"Much better." He murmured.

Elsa sat in front of the piano; her hands were trembling trying to conceal her sobs. She used the pashmina to hide the hickeys but now Linus wanted her to show them, like if they were some kind of property mark.

Linus sat on the couch, setting all his attention over Elsa. Cecile remained stood up, glaring at Elsa with annoyance.

Elsa started to play; the melody was sad and melancholic, it increased into a more complicated tune keeping the melancholy feeling in the song. She finished and Linus clapped from his seat; he stood up and walked to her, never stopping clapping.

"You're perfect." He remained her and placed a kiss on her cheek.

She hated every time when he said that she was perfect.

'Perfect', that is how she was supposed to be when she couldn't control her powers so she had to excel in everything else and she promised at the top of the North Mountain she would never try to be perfect ever again. And now, Linus used that word to remind her that she was a trophy, a pet to amuse him.

Cecile crossed her arms really pissed off; she never thought that Elsa could play so well. She hated to admit that Elsa's piece was flawless.

·

Linus was in his office reading the financial status of his lands when Gustav knocked the door.

"Come in." Linus said without taking his eyes off of the papers.

The butler entered.

"The merchant ship that your Majesty had sent to Arendelle, arrived." Gustav announced.

Linus lifted his gaze and saw the ship owner behind the butler; the Merchant's expression showed that he didn't want to be near the King. Linus indicated the man to enter to the office; Gustav bowed and closed the door.

"Milord." The Merchant greeted.

"Did you follow my orders?" Linus asked with inquisitive eyes.

"The Princess of Arendelle refused to accept the supplies you offered." The Merchant said with a trembling voice and then he lowed his gaze.

Linus clutched his fists, his eyes were injected with fury; the Merchant backed, he was afraid of being the object of his rage.

"Uh… I… uh… I have." The merchant said insecure. "A letter from the Princess to the Queen." He met the King's eyes.

The wrath in Linus' eyes was replaced for curiosity.

"Good, hand it to me." Linus extended his hand.

The Merchant was perplexed by the King's words.

"Pardon me, your Majesty." The merchant began to say. "But this letter is addressed to Queen Elsa." He stated carefully putting the letter back to his jacket slowly.

"You dare to question your King's orders?" Linus shot him a threatening glare.

"I'm just trying to fulfill the promise to the Princess." He lowed his gaze once again.

"Well…" Linus enjoyed the reaction he caused on the poor man. "I don't want to make of you a liar." He rang a bell that was on his desk. "After all, a promise is a promise." He mocked.

The door opened and Gustav bowed.

"Your Majesty."

"Bring Queen Elsa, the Merchant brought something for her." He grinned, a grin that meant he was planning something.

Gustav closed the door behind him and the Merchant was left alone with the King; the poor man gulped, he didn't want to be in the same room with Linus any longer.

·

Meanwhile, Jack used the treetops to avoid being seen. He arrived to the place where he yelled at Elsa the last time he saw her.

'I have been so stupid and impulsive; I should had listened to her.' Jack landed on a branch. 'Will she forgive me?'

He stayed there, thinking how he could break into the palace to find Elsa. He just couldn't walk to the front door, especially if Pitch was habiting that place. He clutched his staff, upset to the thought of his enemy being so close to his beloved one.

'After all this years desiring to be seen, I've never thought I'd wish to be invisible again.' Jack sighed.

The most viable option for now, it was to wait for the nighttime.

·

After a few moments of uncomfortable silence, the door opened; Gustav announced that Queen Elsa had arrived and then, she entered the room. The Merchant greeted her with a bow, glad that he wasn't alone with the fearsome King.

The Merchant's eyes met Elsa's and he saw emptiness, there was so little glow of life in those cerulean eyes, he comprehended why the Princess of Arendelle wanted to rescue her sister so badly; King Linus was sucking out her joy, he closed his eyes feeling pity for the blonde girl.

"Dear," Linus spoke. "He's the merchant I had sent to Arendelle." He stood up and walked to them. "He brought something for you."

Elsa looked at the Merchant with some glee in her eyes and his heart warmed up instantly forgetting the fear Linus made him feel, he quickly searched inside his jacket.

"Princess Anna confined me this letter for you." He extended the letter to Elsa.

Her face lightened at the sight of the envelope with her name and sealed with the crocus; the Merchant felt proud to be able to bring some light to this helpless girl's life but that was easily stolen away when a hand snatched the letter before Elsa could take it.

Linus turned his back and broke the seal of Arendelle, he read the letter and chuckled; he was mocking at Anna's words of comfort. The Merchant saw the glee disappeared from Elsa's eyes when the letter was out of her reach; he felt rage towards the King building inside him, he wanted to punch that wicked man for making the sisters be apart from each other.

"You shall retire." Linus said to the man. "Now." He said authoritatively with a threating glare; the Merchant didn't want to leave the Queen alone but there was nothing he could do about it.

With a final glare to the Queen's sad face, the Merchant left the room. Linus gave the letter back to Elsa.

"You can have it now." He said with a mocking grin. "Please, don't get too excited. You know your sister can't do anything of what she wrote."

Elsa read the letter. She smiled to the sight of Anna's messy calligraphy; some letters were over others due Anna's speed at writing, she wrote as fast as she could speak. Elsa could almost hear the voice of her sister telling the words out loud in her head.

Dearest Elsa:

How are you? I miss you!

Are they treating you well? I hope they are! Or else, they'll be in trouble.

Arendelle is fine but it needs its Queen back, I need you too.

Hang on! I'm coming!

I'm going to rescue you and take you back home.

I still don't know how but I'm going to find a way to cancel this wedding;

Please, don't lose hope. Kristoff, Olaf and I just need more time to figure out a plan.

With Love,

Anna.

Elsa felt touched by Anna's letter and her determination. But deep inside she knew Linus was right; Anna didn't have any power to stop this dreadful wedding to happen.

"I'd like to have some paper in my room to amuse myself." She requested quietly.

·

"He called me kangaroo?" Bunny expressed cheerfully. "Hey! He called me kangaroo!" repeated upset, and then he smiled. "He's coming back to his usual self."

Sandy nodded happily with his hands clapped together. Santa was pacing through the glade; he seemed worried. Tooth was floating above watching her partners while Babytooth was by her side; inside, they were glad with Bunny's comment. Jack was returning to be the joyful boy they met.

North approached Sandy.

"Why did you told him to go after her?" he asked. Sandy frowned his eyebrows. "Don't you see? I'm just trying to protect him!" Sandy formed question signs over his head. "I already told you, he'll be heartbroken when her time ends." The Guardian of Dreams crossed his arms over his chest. "And she's a Queen, she can't leave her duties to accompany Jack to bring winter; not to mention they came from different worlds."

Sandy formed a happy face with his golden sand.

"Sandy thinks, they deserve to be happy." Tooth descended between the Guardians of Dreams and Wondered. "But North is also right," She glanced to Sandy. "When our job here is done, we will go back to our world and Jack can't stay here; neither Queen Elsa can't come with us."

"We're just trying to prevent a tragedy." Bunny got close to the trio.

Sandy shook his head defeated but formed a heart on his hand and offered it to the Guardians.

"We know," Bunny sighed. "He's in love."

·

Elsa was in her room, writing near the window. Linus allowed her to have some paper in her desk room. The room was quiet; the only sound was the feather scribbling over the paper.

She was writing a poem about how she felt in Tallak and being separated from Jack.

Don't look me

He's watching my every move

You say I've betrayed all your love

What did I do?

Nothing to hurt you my love

Bruises on my head

I'm almost dead inside my heart.

He's killing me slowly

Making us be apart

I cannot stand not being in your arms

Pain thick inside, what is life anymore!

When she finished, she folded it; she left it on the top of the papers. She saw the gray sky, the sun was setting down and the moon was visible. She walked to the bed where Dora left her nightgown.

Elsa prepared to sleep. Tomorrow it would be another day, other day full of sorrow and Linus' touches and kisses that she hated so much.

She got into the bed.

'Just for this time, I wish never to wake up.' Elsa covered herself with the blankets to the chin.

She felt ashamed of that thought but the truth was some days, she felt disappointed of waking up and discover that it wasn't a nightmare but reality. So, she preferred to stay asleep and not to wake up.

·

Nighttime arrived, and Jack adopted an alert position. He watched in the distance how the activity in the palace decreased, soon everyone was asleep.

He flew to the palace and landed on a ledge; he needed to be careful to not be caught or worse detected by Pitch.

Just like he did in Arendelle's palace he peered on every window, trying to find his Snow Queen.

'I feel like a creepy stalker again.' He thought after he found the window of a sleeping girl with brunette hair.

After another five windows, he found the right one.

Elsa was sleeping on a giant bed with four posts on the corners. The blankets covered most of her body but he could still see her silhouette under the covers. He pushed the glass window and slowly started to open.

He opened the necessary to slip into; he silently entered the room and with his barefoot feet, he was able to walk without making a sound.

Jack peeked to the room; it was big but the decoration seemed too sorbet and dark, the contrary to her bedchambers back in Arendelle. A folded paper caught his attention; with the moonlight the paper looked like it was glowing. He took it and unfolded it; it was a poem.

He deduced Elsa was the one who wrote it; the two strophes described how she felt and he felt guilty for complaining to her. He placed the poem where he found it and walked to the bed.

Jack starred at Elsa for a while. He was debating if he should wake her up; would she be upset with him for the way he treated her?

He stretched his hand to accommodate a string of Elsa's hair behind her ear; he wanted to caress her cheek but stopped before his fingers could touch the skin of her face.

'What if she hates me?' he retreaded his hand. 'I wouldn't blame her.'

·

Linus was drinking wine while he starred at Elsa's portrait. His eyes were indecipherable but one thing was for sure, he was thinking about Elsa.

He decided to postpone the investigation about what happened to Elsa to turn her into an empty shell because thanks to that, he was able to kiss her and grab her as much as he wanted to and she didn't push him away.

For now, he will focus in the preparations of the wedding and enjoy his time with his perfect angel.

"Tomorrow, a ship with will sail and the invitations will be delivered." He murmured to the girl in the portrait. "There is no escape." He took a sip of wine and smiled maliciously.

Day by day, the dreadful day when he will marry Elsa was getting closer and there was no way she could escape.

·

Elsa felt something caressing her cheek gently, then a cool minty breath close to her face. She felt a pair of cold lips over her forehead; they kissed it chastely, and then they moved to her nose.

"Please, forgive me."

She opened her eyes a little and saw a boyish face starring at her; he had clear blue eyes and white locks. She blinked trying to focus her sight. The blue eyes filled with fear when they saw her icy blue eyes wide open.

That boy was Jack, her dear Jack Frost. He took a step back and Elsa sat on the bed.

"Jack?" she said with a sleepy voice.

"Hello Elsa." He smiled and waved his hand awkwardly.

"Jack!" she threw her arms to his neck and pulled him to her; Jack wrapped Elsa over his arms. "Please, you have to believe me." she said on his shoulder and then looked at him with pleading eyes. "I didn't mean to break—"

"Sshhh." Jack pressed a finger on her lips. He looked at her seriously but it wasn't like the last time; his eyes weren't projecting coldness but understanding. He knew the truth. He touched her forehead with his.

"Please forgive me," he closed his eyes. "I was an idiot." He said near her lips and kissed her tenderly.

Elsa pulled him closer to her, to kiss him passionately, and they fell on the bed, Jack being on top of her. The kiss continued and the passion kept increasing.

All I ever wanted

All I ever needed

Is here in my arms

Words are very unnecessary

They can only do harm

::·::

Well, tell me: Does it worth the waiting?

You seemed to love the previous chapter so much that I feared you might not find this one so exciting. Please tell me what you feel of this chapter.

And again, I want to mention: I WON'T ABANDON the story, I'll take some time to publish but at the end I will always update.

Thank you, Abigail for the song. I hope you liked this chapter and how I used your creation.

PREVIEW CHAPTER 15:

"He did this to you." He whispered coldly.

North was debating himself to follow Bunny's suggestion or maintain their low profile.

"Actually," Elsa said. "I want to build a snowman." She smiled.

"We came to deliver the wedding invitations." Said a snobby Lord.

*The lyrics from the beginning and end are taken from the songs "Precious" and "Enjoy the Silence" Depeche Mode.

+The poem that Elsa wrote is a song from the author TheGirlIBlack (Abigail)
