New chapter everyone! This is where I claim the plot as fully mine. Up until now I've pretty much been following movies, but the last movie I planned on following just ended so... Everything that happens from here on out is my imagination going crazy, mostly because I had planned to have something completely different happen in this story. Personally, I prefer this route, but tell me what you think!

Thank you to everyone who read and reviewed my story. We're up to 2,500+ views! and 21 reviews! I'd love it if we could get at least to 30 by the next chapter, but it's up to you guys!

Now, this chapter is titled after the song by Taylor Swift, which I do not own. It was my favorite song growing up, and it fit the story perfectly. When it gets to the part where she's singing it, I suggest playing the song in the background if you don't know it. Oh and my little Easter egg from chapter 4 makes a brief reappearance in this chapter! See if you can find it!

Enjoy Chapter 11 everyone!


Chapter 11: Invisible

Months passed like days for the immortal Guardians, and Jack spent almost every day with Jamie. Elsa spent most of her time watching the two boys from her balcony in the moon, and the members of her family were kept busy with their respective duties. Elsa started sending Olaf down into the world more, wanting him to prove himself as a Guardian and spread joy throughout the world. She hoped Jack would be able to see him, because then he would be one step closer to being ready to remember her. She smiled when Olaf worked in Burgess, knowing he was around Jack and it was only a matter of time before the happy snowman tried to be his friend.

A year after the fight with Pitch, however, everything changed. A new spirit came to Burgess, one Elsa had never seen before. This shocked the Spirit of the Moon, since to her knowledge, she was the only one who could reincarnate spirits, but she shook it off, figuring that since she didn't exactly choose to reincarnate herself, someone else must have reincarnated her, and that same spirit must have reincarnated other spirits. This spirit was a fairy, with short, spiky white hair, pointed ears, icy blue eyes and clear wings. She wore a light blue dress that was detailed to look like a leaf, with a white, fuzzy trim and teal leggings, and light blue flats with fuzzy, white pom-poms on the toes. Her name was Periwinkle, and everyone could see her, especially Jack.

The two wintery beings spent enormous amounts of time together. Elsa would watch as Jack left Jamie any time Periwinkle showed up. She felt their love growing—since like all Guardians, she felt anything and everything related to her center—and it was like a knife had been thrust into her heart. Never before had she felt a growing love cause pain in her, and the Guardian of Love accepted that she just must be jealous. Eventually, Elsa would only leave her palace to visit Jamie when Jack left to be with Periwinkle, and she kept him company and kept him believing. After a few months, Jack and Periwinkle—or Peri, as Jack chose to call her—started dating, and the pain in her heart became too much, so she locked herself in her ice palace and sent Olaf to play with Jamie. The joyful snowman agreed, and Jamie was always happy. The Snow Queen still visited Anna and Faylinn whenever they weren't busy, but Anna always noticed something was very wrong with her big sister, something she didn't want to talk about.

Each night, after Periwinkle would return home and Jack was alone again, she would watch from her balcony as he thanked her—well, the Man in the Moon—for sending someone like him so he wouldn't be alone anymore. She had stopped trying to get him to believe in her when the fairy showed up, and while she still spoke to him sometimes, she stopped trying to reply when he would talk to the Moon. Each time he thanked her, the icy knife inside her heart seemed to turn, hurting her even more. After a month of him thanking her every night, the pain almost completely crippled her, and she was forced to stay in her palace. She stopped going to visit her sister and niece, she stopped visiting the warren and the workshop and Jamie and Sophie, and she stopped going out onto the balcony to listen to Jack's voice each night.

She tried everything to get the painful dagger to leave her heart, even trying to get over Jack, but something stopped her each time she tried to stop loving the barefooted, fun-loving goofball who had once been her best friend. Maybe it was all the wonderful memories she had of him, maybe it was because she when she was alone—which was a lot more often now—she heard his voice echoing around the walls of her palace as he asked her to dance with him for the first time, or maybe it was because when she thawed the Great Freeze that covered Arendelle almost three and a half centuries ago, she only thought of him, and she realized how much she loved him. It didn't help that every time she walked past the ballroom, she faintly heard the waltz they had danced to, the one about breaking away but still remembering everything she loved, and the light tricked her into seeing two dancers, one with platinum blonde hair and one with tousled auburn hair, twirling through the room as the girl's cape trailed behind them, threatening to trip them but never following through.

Olaf spent all his days with Jamie now, allowing Elsa to stay in the palace while she was mysteriously injured, and her family was so busy they couldn't visit. Elsa was isolated again, and she was more alone than ever before. She felt warmth in her heart as people fell in love, or whenever Anna and Kristoff had time to take a break from everything and go on a date, or practice their combat, or even just sit together with Sven and Faylinn while they watched Kristoff carve a new toy model out of ice. Each joined heart created warmth inside her, and she began to think the knife would finally melt, but the second this thought entered her mind, the knife would twist as Jack and Periwinkle grew closer, leaving Elsa in pain once again. She occasionally wondered if her family noticed her absence, but she just decided they were all to busy to come help her. She spent many days sitting at her vanity with quiet, frozen instruments playing music in the background—music Elsa knew was waiting for lyrics, but she couldn't bring herself to sing—as she traced the snowflake details on the top of the lid of her frozen box holding her locket, unable to decide what to do. One day, however, as the freshest wave of pain from the twisting knife began to subside, Elsa finally knew what lyrics to sing to her sad reflection. She took a deep breath and focused her attention on the memory-filled box in her hands.

"She can't see the way your eyes will light up when you smile," she began singing sadly, and turned to her mirror as Jack appeared in Elsa's mirror, the smile he only used for her plastered on his face and his eyes full of happiness and love. He had loved her, once, but she doubted he loved her enough to want to be with her, and he didn't believe in her anyway so why did it matter?

"She'll never notice how you stop and stare whenever she walks by," she continued, and the mirror changed to an image of Jack staring at Periwinkle's back as she walked away. The image rekindled the knife in her heart, and she almost doubled over as a brief wave of pain washed over her.

"And you can't see me wanting you the way you want her, but you are everything to me," she sung, and watched as the image showed Jack walking right through her, before she focused her attention back on the crystal box holding her most prized possession.

"I just wanna show you, she don't even know you, she's never gonna love you like I want to," she looked back at the mirror, showing Elsa using her love to bring Jack out of the frozen lake he died in, and she took in the image before it changed to show Jack talking to the moon in the ravine in Antarctica, even though she was standing right in front of him. "And you just see right through me, but if you only knew me, we could be a beautiful miracle, unbelievable, instead of just invisible…." She let the last note trail off slightly before continuing.

"There's a fire inside of you that can't help but shine through. She's never gonna see the light, no matter what you do," she sang, and the image in the mirror turned to one of Jack glowing with power when Elsa combined her powers with his for the first time in the battle against Pitch. The Snow Queen knew her words could be taken many different ways, but she intended them to mean that Periwinkle could never charge Jack's powers the way Elsa could, and she would never be able to make him glow with power and love.

"And all I think about is how to make you think of me and everything that we could be," she turned back to her box and ran her fingers over the snowflake pattern in the ice. A change in lighting caused her to look up as she sung the next few lines, watching a child first walk through Jack, then watching Jack walk through her in the warren. "Like shadows in a faded light, oh, we're invisible. I just wanna open your eyes, and make you realize."

"I just wanna show you, she don't even know you. Baby, let me love you, let me want you. You just see right through me, but if you only knew me, we could be a beautiful miracle, unbelievable, instead of just invisible…" she allowed the word invisible to trail off again, this time seeing first Jack talking to her family while she stands in front of him, as if she doesn't exist, then seeing an image from her fondest memory. She saw her and Jack dancing in the ice palace's ballroom for the first time, both of them happy and free, but the image faded away as she sang the word invisible, leaving Elsa's own eyes staring back at her sadly. She sung the last lines to her reflection, watching as cold tears formed and stung her eyes.

"She can't see the way your eyes light up when you smile…" she trailed off, and rested her head on her arms to stop herself from crying. There was a soft sound behind her, and her head jerked up, quickly wiping the tears from her eyes. In the mirror, she saw her sister coming closer slowly.

"Elsa…?" the fairy called quietly, not wanting to scare her older sister, who turned to face her.

"Hi Anna," she said simply, slightly embarrassed that her baby sister had almost caught her crying. Anna flew over quickly and wrapped her arms around the queen, who hugged her back.

"Elsa, why haven't you given Jack his memories of you yet? He deserves to know, and after everything you've done, you deserve to be happy," the Queen of Teeth—as Kristoff occasionally calls her—asked in confusion, and Elsa just shook her head.

"He found another spirit. He's happy with her, and I won't ruin that by making him remember," she told her little sister, not wanting to think that even if he did remember, he might still choose the fairy over her. Anna was still confused, which made sense because it took a while for her to understand what goes through her older sister's mind.

"Why did you bring Periwinkle here, anyway? I mean, yeah she's a lot like you, but if you wanted Jack to be with someone like you, you could've just made him remember you. Why go out of your way to hurt yourself?" Anna asked, baffled, and Elsa shook her head.

"Anna, I don't know who she is. I didn't revive her. I don't know who she used to be, or who she is now, or what her center is or anything. She's not one of my spirits. I don't know where she comes from or who revived her, but I know for a fact it wasn't me," she informed her younger sister, who immediately launched into a series of questions about how someone else could do what Elsa does.

"Anna, obviously someone else can reincarnate spirits. I didn't exactly reincarnate myself, and Pitch has been around longer than I have. Maybe she was reincarnated by the person who brought us back from the dead," Elsa explained her theory to her sister, who sat back in silence for several moments to process. Finally she sat back up, but Elsa, who had suddenly become quite interested in her hair, continued before Anna could speak.

"I think I need to change my look. For almost four centuries, my hair and dress has been the same. I'm keeping the braid, but it's time for an upgrade. After all, everyone else got one," she stated while looking at her sister, her eyes asking for approval. The younger girl thought for a moment before answering.

"I don't see why not. I think you should keep this dress though, in case there's a ceremony or something you want it for," the colorful fairy reasoned, and Elsa smiled brightly. She unfroze her bangs, causing them to fall and curl naturally around her face. The Snow Queen took the long bangs and used her magic to exaggerate the curl and freeze it in place, thawing and refreezing until she decided it was how she wanted it.

Then she stood and used her magic to swirl snowflakes around her, moving her old blue dress and cape to the closet. She exchanged them for an icy blue dress that ended halfway down her thigh, with a strapless, sweetheart top. She created a sheer, snow-white cape covered in snowflakes that ended at her ankles and fit her body perfectly that attached to the edge of her top under her arms. She wrapped a wide, snow-white belt around her waist that had a huge, blue ice crystal in the front with her snowflake embedded inside, and created snow-white, heeled boots that reached just below her knees. She looked at the dress in the mirror and, deciding it was still a little plain, added crystals of frozen snow that sparkled like moonstones and had her snowflake embedded in their centers to the bodice of her dress. There was one big one at the start of her ribcage, and three smaller trails of the same crystals, each one smaller than the one before it. She created a choker with a large crystal like the ones adorning her dress in the center—except this crystal had a heart embedded inside—and slightly smaller, icy blue versions of the crystals from her dress forming the rest of the necklace. She finally used a crystallized snowflake to secure the end of her braid, and stuck a glowing blue rose made of ice in the center of the large curl framing her face. With these additions, her hair color lightened slightly, emitting a silvery glow that looked like the way untouched snow glows in the light of the moon. She now truly was the Spirit of the Moon, and just for fun, she created a long, silken, icy blue snow scarf that was more for looks than for function. She decided she liked how it looked, and would use it for occasions that deserved a little more pizzazz, but not formal enough for her old gown. She struck a pose in the mirror, creating a little flurry of her magic in her palm, and smiled at her younger sister.

"So, how do I look?" she asked self-consciously. Her sister just stared in awe.

"Elsie, you look amazing. Are you going to wear your locket?" the purple-eyed girl asked curiously, gesturing towards Elsa's snowflake box.

"No. Not yet, anyway. Not until—" she began, but Anna cut her off.

"Not until you give back Jack's memories. Are you ever going to do that or are you planning on just staring at the necklace sadly for all eternity?" the Guardian of Memories asked, somewhat bitterly. Anna knew just as well as Elsa did that these memories were the most important memories from both their human lives, and since Anna gave back the important memories when they were needed, she didn't like that Elsa was keeping them locked up.

"I'll give them back. I just, I don't want to give them back until we know if Jack and Periwinkle will work out or not. I don't like keeping them from him, but I also can't risk ruining his love and happiness to remind him of something that happened several centuries ago," she reasoned, and Anna shook her head.

"Fine. When are planning to come visit us again?" the younger girl asked innocently. Elsa touched her heart lightly, and took a breath.

"Soon. I'll come visit you all soon so the guys can see my new look. Gods, now I'm the Snow Queen, the Guardian of Love, and the Spirit of the Moon, and all three show. I needed the change, though, since I've been all three for centuries but only showed the Snow Queen side at all times," she said, almost to herself. She didn't want to tell Anna about the pains just yet. Not until she knew what they were.

"Well, alright. Don't be a stranger, Elsa, and don't shut us out, please?" the younger Guardian begged, and Elsa suppressed a sad smile. Each time Elsa indicated that she wouldn't be as big a part of their lives as she normally was, Anna begged her not to shut them out. It was just a reaction from all her memories of growing up alone, and the fact that she still worried about that saddened Elsa, but also made her laugh at how cute her sister was.

"I won't, Ann, I promise. Guardian's honor," she swore to her sister with a smile, and Anna left soon after to go back to her husband and daughter. Elsa finally felt strong enough to go out onto the balcony and watch the world go by, but regretted it when a sharp pain shot through her heart, almost knocking her unconscious. She called for Marshmallow, who came in and carried the queen to her bed carefully. She laid very still for what seemed like hours though was probably only a few minutes, trying to relax her body. Eventually the pain went away and she sat up slowly, leaning against the headboard. She created some piles of snow to lean back against so it wasn't just solid ice, and played with her snowflakes for the rest of the night, hoping they would tell her what was happening to her heart, and knowing they wouldn't.


What do you guys think is happening to Elsa? PM me or review and let me know your thoughts on this chapter! And don't worry, Jack will remember soon, but some stuff needs to happen first.

For any of you that want to see Elsa's new outfit, leave a review telling me you want to see it. I'd be happy to show you her new look. If only members review saying that, I'll contact them through PM, but if Guests review too, I'll update with her new look as the next chapter. (Note, that update won't count as a chapter update. I will still post chapter twelve next Monday, right on schedule.)

Thanks for reading! Snowflakes of love and fun to you all!
