6 Years of being a guardian and Jack was already loving everything he did. Err well except for the reindeer stables he had to clean every now and then, but other than that he was enjoying everything he did.
Winter was about to end, Jack was away from Santa's Workshop getting that Arendel to feel the last day of winter weather. He rode the wind for a bit but ended up standing still at the balcony of the royal palace. The day he put Elsa in a coma was the day his staff was broken in 2 thanks to a night mare stepping on it when he dropped it to go fight.
When he was officially working as a guardian Teeth handed him his broken staff which he ended up fixing. Now to this day he it a small blue crack where it broke and a small snowflake charm hanging from the curves tip.
6 years ago when he finished cleaning the reindeer stables Santa gave him the charm that he was gonna leave Elsa for christmas. To always remember her and his goal Jack decided to tie the necklace to hang the charm at the curves tip
He eventually brought himself back from his thoughts when he heard voices on the other side of the window. He turned to see a red headed girl walk into the room with a book in her arms. A book with her family photos, he could tell she missed her parents. The girl was the queen of Arendel, but in truth she was the princess Anna.
She looked exhausted from so much queen like work. He watched her put the book away in the shelf, then gently take the small queen crown off and onto a small pillow. The crown she wore was almost like the crown Elsa has, the difference was that the crown Anna wore was a little bit bigger, was a goldish silver color with many little white crystals on the curves, and had 3 small blue crystals in the center of the crown. Next thing you know she crashes into her bed.
Laughing alittle Jack started to place frost on her glass balcony doors. He trailed his fingers around leaving small snowflakes that trailed the ends one way then another. They spread until they covered all the door leaving clear mist to cover areas that weren't frosted. In the end the design left was Elsa on one, and a huge snowflake on the other door.
When Anna woke from her nap she saw the frost covered doors She never understood why the frost would always create a girl like figure,but she never thought much about it since it was just frost. There was no meaning in frost to her, it was just mother nature doing her job. What did amaze her was how accurate and precise the figures were formed. It was as if someone did them and not mother nature.
Jack watched as she got close to the frost. Still a child at heart she drew on the mist one of her favorite things she did as a child, a snowman named Olaf and a big heart next to its head. She wanted to draw more but couldn't when she heard one of the maids call her down for a special dress fitting.
She ran out not wanting to be late but when she came rushing back in to put on her crown she forgot, there was something new on the balcony doors. Down where the girl like figure was a word, maybe a name. Elsa
Now getting curious how that got there she started to question herself but couldn't think more when again her name was called from another room.
With the 'queen' now curious, Jack felt somewhat proud of what he did. If he ever got Elsa back, she deserved to be remembered by the people of Arendel. Starting with Anna.
He finished up his work with the frosted windows, and eventually rode the wind for a while until he decided to crash a teleportal snowglobe to the toothfairies base to go talk to Elsa before he went to base to fill in a report with Santa.
There in the same position, in the same dress, with the same look, was Elsa's iced body on the bank of blue frost flowers that flowed with small breezes of wind.
She looked flawless in the same way all the time to Jack's eyes. He knelt at her side then took her blue hand in his, Kissing the top as if she could feel it.
"Hey Frostbite, still holding up there?" He asked as he paused for a moment.
Like always, he never got a responce back. To make things atleast alittle better he would wonder off into his mind thinking of her sweet yet fierce voice and somehow imagine a responce she'd give.
I'm very lonely like this, but atleast I have company from tiny fairies flying by to check on me
"Well you know I'm not a fairy?" Jack teased like he usually did around her
You fly, Fairies fly, you have pale skin, fairies have pale skin, who knows maybe the F in Frost stands for Fairy
"me and fairies are not the same specimen. Fairies have wings to fly, I use wind for that, fairies are pale cause that's their skin color, I'm pale cause of the long time I spent in the cold Ice water" Jack claimed trying to win the aruement
Say as you want, I will always think that the F is for Fairy, not Frost
"Jack Fairy, Haha real funny Frostbite. maybe it doesn't stand for Fairy but something else" Jack said chuckling alittle.
A few fairies fly by and saw Jack chuckling at himself. They used to think he was crazy, but eventually grew to the fact that he was lonely. That he missed the blue girl in a coma.
What does it stand for?
"Frostbites Man" He smirked
Hmm that sounds odd
"Who said it had to be a last name, maybe that's just a statement" Jack's smirk grew bigger
Jack I miss you... I wish this was real... I- I don't want to stay like this for more time necessary. Not only do I grow lonely, but everyday I feel like I'm disappearing from society... I want to be with you for real again.
Tears began to wash down Jack's face landing on her blue hand as his grip tightened alittle. His mind thought something she truly felt, this wasn't something he thought about. Not until he realized his feelings were vice versa for the both of them. Especially for a girl trapped in ice with a frozen body but a beating heart, She really did feel things. If her heart worked then she would continue to feel emotions, she just couldn't express them no longer.
Everything about her was truly trapped. There was no way out.
Not until she truly is considered safe...
Jack's conversational thoughts drifted off, not wanting to think anymore. Not wanting to talk to someone who truly couldn't respond to him back. He let her hand go to stroke her cheek one last time before he had to leave.
Back then he felt as if what he did was a mistake. He used to attempt to undo what he did, but there was no use. When he did what he did he made a promise to himself, to defeat Pitch, to make her safe. Until then she'd be trapped there. Once he makes a promise with magic, the only way to unravel what he did is to accomplish his promise.
He's been looking for Pitch ever since, but the guy was hard to find. When he was spotted, Jack would attack, but back then he was too weak to do any critical damage. Now he truly was ready, he learned to put his doubts or distractions aside in battle. Every hit would be full of a strong emotion. Something that keeps him going. Something worth fighting for. Something he knew was important to him.
Every punch he threw out there would be full of the thought of Elsa. The thought of his love for her. How he had to almost sacrifice her just to keep her safe. How she was treated in the past. How she lives now.
Everything he did was for Elsa's sake.
His time had come, he had to leave back to guardian base before the others would think he was sidetracked. Most importantly before he'd miss any important news on Pitch's hideout.
He kissed her blue cheek before he left, He never kissed her lips anymore he wanted to actually feel her lips not the ice layer over them, until then he was gonna wait until it was actually worth it. Until he would have her back at his side. Outside her small room he crashed the snowglobe, disappearing back to his Guardian life.
Jack rested his body weight on the wall he was next to. All he was listening was information that was everyday usual business. Season preparations, checklist of children who believe, countdown for the upcoming season, and so much more stuff that got zero attention to Jack's interest. After a while of his brain muffling everything around him, something finally got Jack's attention.
Signs over Sandy's head reformed over and over again. One after another yet like usual times, no one saw them. Santa talking on about how the naughty list has grown since the last 2 yeas ago . Tooth was flying around talking to her little fairies all about children who had teeth under the pillows for the night. Bunnymound polished his boomerangs. No one paid attention, but Jack.
Jack looked over to what Sandy was signaling on about. To a surprise he looked directly at the small lights on the globe. Most areas were lit up but there was an unusual spot that Jack hasn't seen for so long.
Lights were flicking off, that only meant one thing. Pitch decided to go out from hiding. His eyes narrowed and his grip tightened. Making a run for it, he left the guardians behind in shock. When they realized the darkness on the globe they all chased after Jack to stop him but before they could do that... He was long gone closing the portal as he mumbled something that only he could hear.
Santa reached for a snowglobe but to his surprise they were all covered in frost. Apparently Jack frosted them behind their backs.
"We cant let him do this alone..." Santa said pulling at his beard worried that Jack would get injured or worse, killed.
"He had this all planned out" Tooth mumbled as she saw the frost on the globes start to spread on the walls. In such speed the small crystal connected with one another until the whole room was one big igloo.
Sandy signaled signs one after another.
A snowflake
A sleepy zzz
A boy
A staff
A dark form
A exclamation point
2 fists clashing against eachother
A skull
A question mark
A sad worried face
"No, theres gotta be a way out... Bunny the ground?" Tooth said clashing her fist to the walls looking for some weak spot as she ignored what could be true.
"Already tried. The boy's got this ice layered one after another. It's too thick. Just face it, Jack trapped us in here with no escape" Bunny said crossing his arms as he mummbled the last part
"Not possible, we will get out somehow and we'll teach him the lesson of no man on his own, Yeti's get me some help will yah?" Santa claimed as he pulled out his 2 swords then scrapped at the ice. Moments later 6 Yeti's came by cracking their knuckles as they prepared to break some ice. Thinking they were tough enough, Elfs came rolling in with strong tools they built last minute.
Everyone was dedicated to getting the guardians out, but one worry was nagging at everyones neck... Would they make it on time?
Knowing what he did was wrong, Jack turned away from where a portal once opened. He rested his back on a rocky wall behind him for a bit as he put everything back together.
No distractions.
No mercy.
No emotions.
No fear.
No turning back.
And definately no giving up.
He put away the thought that things could go wrong. He hid under a carpet all the unessecary emotions. He hid his fears behind an extremely thick wall.
Before getting up to go find the man in black he looked up at what's kept him going. The necklace, he untied it from the staff putting it around his neck. He gave it a small peck as he mentally thought of his prayer. Then with no more to do, he pulled his sweaters hood over his head, narrowed his eyes, gripped his staff putting it behind his back, took in a sigh of courage, and walked into the dark alleyway that seemed to have no return written all over it.
