Jack flew as fast as he can, looking for Elsa. "Elsa?" He'd call now and then. He almost explored the whole village when he thought he saw Elsa going into the forest. And he was soglad that she did not find Hans—or Hitch. He set on foot, following Elsa into the forest. Before he could approach her, he thought of how he'd see her. He sighed. "Screw it." He whispered to himself, took a deep breath and ran to her.
"Elsa!" He said, touching her shoulder.
She turned, and smiled. "Jack?" She whispered in bewilderment. "You.. Uh.. What are you doing here?" But no matter what she did, she can't hide her happiness from Jack.
He beamed at her, catching her in a hug. "Oh Elsa... Pitch said you never wanted to see me again," he whispered in her ear.
"Pitch? He told you what?" She said, flinching as Jack touched her injured arm — her left arm.
Jack looked at her shoulder "What happened?" He said, and remembered the broken chair in her room. "Elsa," he said firmly. "What did Pitch do to you?"
Elsa looked kind of redder than usual. Did she blush? Jack asked himself. "He threw me," She said, looking down at her feet. "Are you concerned?" She asked him so suddenly, he also blushed.
He rubbed the back of his neck and smiled sheepishly at her. "I.. Uh.. Yeah."
"I actually wanted to look for you and... Apologize for what I said that night." She said, hugging Jack.
He felt genuinely happy at this. He chuckled and walked with her, forgetting all about he destroyed castle.
Remembering his encounter with Pitch and Hans, he told Elsa all about it. About how Hitch could see him because of Pitch.
"No wonder he had streaks of black in his hair," she realized and started to tell him about her encounter.
Anna coming in her room; her encounter with Pitch; going to the library; Anna's nightmares, and finally— Pitch throwing her back in the room because she sent icicles at his direction but it just passed through.
"You've got some guts, Elsa," he commended. "You stood up to Pitch just like that!"
Elsa looked as if she blushed, looking down at her feet. "Well, it was really stupid of me though," She countered, pointing at her injured arm. "I got myself hurt." She laughed without humour.
Jack smiled, and for the very first time he was certain everything would go right.
They were both laughing as they reached the now broken Ice castle. Elsa had just looked up and gasped. "What happened?" She whispered, covering her mouth.
Jack was ready for this. He took a deep breath and touched Elsa's shoulder. "Els..." He said, looking down.
She looked at him, eyes sad.
"I'm so sorry Elsa— It was childish of me to get upset— I shouted — I forgot that it affected the mountains— avalanche." He failed to say this in a proper sentence. And he forgot to state this calmly. He bit the inside of his lip, bracing himself for what could happen next.
"Y-you did this?" She gasped.
He nodded. And looked at her, alarmed "I didn't mean to! I'm s—"
Jack was very surprised that Elsa threw her arms around him and whispered. "Oh jack, it's okay. Everything's fine... Don't worry" She seemed to laugh and sob at the same time, but without tears.
His eyes widened as he smiled sadly and hugged her too. "Y-You're not mad? Disgusted? You don't want to not see me ever again?" He asked, chuckling. He buried his face on her shoulder, lifting her up.
"Of course I still want to see you... I'm so sorry for not trusting you — oh Jack, I told you! Even if we only talked a few times, I missed you so much."
Jack couldn't believe what he was hearing that he had to pinch himself. Nope, not a dream, he confirmed. He didn't let his chance slip, he told her, no matter what her response could be. "I love you, Elsie." He whispered.
To his surprise again, she giggled and held him tighter. "I love you too, Jack," She pulled away to face him, Jack still had her lifted up. "And I told you, Frost, not to call me that!"
Jack grinned. "How about rebuilding this thing?" He gestured at what was left of the castle.
"Why not?" She said, and Jack put her down.
He pointed his staff at the wreck, and with Elsa's help, they spread the snow back in place. Elsa thawed the castle as much as she can.
With her back to Jack's they stomped on what would be the center of their/ castle. He smiled at the thought. It won't be just her/ castle, but their/ castle, the two of them. From their feet, a gigantic snowflake with Jack's swirling patterns on it formed. They both looked back at one another and smiled. As Elsa gestured the snowflake to rise, Jack waved his staff upward, creating ice pillars to rise.
Both of them made their own gestures, decorating the whole thing with snow and Ice. Jack found the place much better, much livable than the one before.
He heard Elsa's laughter echo around. She was having fun/. He smiled and joined her, chuckling. They both spun around and around. At one point, the two of them collided and Jack caught Elsa in a hug, still giggling. She looked at him, smiling. "Hi," she said.
"Hi."
"This place is better than the one from before!"
"I know,"
Jack hadn't realized that he was staring at her until she spoke up again.
"Frosty," she said, and He snapped out of his daze.
"What?" He said, letting her go. The whole castle was already finished. Everything was so perfect. At that very moment, everything seemed to stop— he doesn't notice anything except Elsa, standing there in front of him.
She smiled at him. "Thanks," She said, probably referring to the castle.
Jack forgot what was happening as he cupped Elsa's cheek. It was surprisingly soft and... Smooth. She was really beautiful, inside out. He smiled. She looked up at him, resting her hands on his shoulders, and tiptoeing so that her face was in level with Jack's. He leaned in slowly. The moment was so perfect, he couldn't believe it was happening. Their lips almost touched, but the sound of slow clapping made them both whip their heads to the sound.
The clapping sound was followed by a dark and evil sound of laughter. "Ah, our two lovebirds finally realizing what they felt," Pitch appeared out of the shadows. Darkness filled the place. "Didn't I tell one of you that the other didn't want to see him anymore?" He smirked.
Jack stepped in front of Elsa. "You lied/," he snarled. "As always."
Pitch chuckled. "You desperate fool. Can't you see that at some point you'd have to hurt and leave the girl? Hmm?"
"I will not do such thing!" He narrowed his eyes.
"Oh but you will, whether you like it or not, Jack Frost."
Jack held Elsa's hand, keeping her behind him, although he could feel that she did not like being hidden when she knew she could help. "You don't dictate my life, Pitch."
Pitch suddenly laughed again. "But one of you is mortal, yes?" He grinned evilly, turning his back to them.
The realization struck Jack like an arrow through the heart. "I-I don't—" he stuttered, gripping his staff tight and keeping. Elsa close.
The surrounding went darker. "Ah, poor Jack Frost, alone again forever as his beloved Elsa dies." Pitch disappeared and reappeared by the side, causing Elsa to stand back to back with Jack. She narrowed her eyes. "But Elsa," He appeared in front of Elsa, lifting her chin. "As you grow old, Jack won't have any inte—"
"That's a lie," She hissed, pushing him hard and shooting ice from her hand, which just passed through him again.
Pitch growled, striding towards the far end. "Idiocy does not impress me, Snow Queen." He said bitterly. "Haven't you learned that your powers are nothing against me— although it is very, truly annoying." He added in a mutter.
"What do you want, Pitch?" Jack said through gritted teeth.
Pitch whirled around as he beamed at them. "Nothing, nothing at all, Frost." He said and chuckled. "Wouldn't you think fear would conquer you soon, Elsa, dear?"
Jack felt Elsa shake her head. "No." She said firmly.
He ignored the answer, and created black sand horses. "Fear is beautiful, isn't it? You'd just feel your heart shrink as terror rises up in you, no? At times, as you face your gravest fear, you might feel as if your world would , you'd even feel paralyzed. But how about those little fears you feel, so suddenly that you can't understand why?"
Jack narrowed his eyes, trying to figure out what Pitch's going for.
"Can't you see that fear controls your life!" He said so loudly, it echoed throughout the whole castle. He went to face Elsa, Jack following him with his eyes. "Fear makes you do things, Elsa. Don't you realize? Fear of losing your sister made you protect her from when you were a child, until now.
"Fear of being feared forces you to act how you are now." Pitch grinned as he saw Elsa's face get even more paler.
Jack saw Elsa's eyes widen."No! Anna —" She was walking towards nothing, only to be cut off by nothingness. Jack pointed his staff at Pitch. "What are you doing to her?
He shrugged. "Her fear,"
She was sobbing now, kneeling down, hand on her head. "Elsa! It's not real!" He shouted, walking cautiously toward her, watching Pitch. He send out a fury of sparking ice at his direction and Pitch completely disappeared, bringing his darkness with him.
But Elsa continued to sob on the ground.
