Thank you to NooneMournsTheW1cked for favoriting this story! Also, thank you to CainLionheart for following. I feel as if Jack might be a bit OOC in this chapter, but I couldn't quite get it right and I don't like keeping you waiting for more. If you have any comments or suggestions, please review and tell me what you think!

Pitch still hadn't left, even though Anna and Kristoff were gone. "The mighty Jack Frost has finally fallen! Never did I imagine that this girl would do my work for me. This worked out better than I imagined!" he said, taunting the former winter spirit. Jack was trying to stay quiet, not wanting to make Elsa believe in him. Once she believed in Pitch, it would be over. With all of her fear, it was very likely that she would give into him and work with him.

"I suppose I have stayed here long enough. Enjoy your demise, Jack Frost!" Pitch yelled, turning around and leaving as he laughed with pleasure. Jack had to do something to get back at him, something to get underneath his skin. He was already gone, though, so there was nothing Jack could do. He was left alone with Elsa in the room, her eyes staring at him in horror.

"I'm so sorry. I told you I was dangerous." she whispered, looking down at her hands. She had destroyed everything, her kingdom, her sister, and now even this boy. Her powers were out of control and she deserved to be captured. She was a monster. "You said before that I didn't understand. I think we both suffer from that right now." he said quietly, leaning back again and just relaxing. He was still cold, but he was getting used to it.

"I grew up in a castle. When I was young, I was best friends with my sister. One day, we were playing and I hurt her with my magic. I've kept myself locked in my room ever since that day, afraid of hurting her again." Elsa explained, realizing he did have a point. She hadn't exactly told him anything about her past, so she had no reason to expect him to understand. "I suppose that makes sense. Did you ever once consider that by hiding, you were making it worse? Fear is okay sometimes, but you need to learn to face it instead of hiding from it. By giving into your fear, you never learned to control your powers." Jack said.

Elsa felt uncomfortable, upset that he was criticizing her choice. He had magic too, but he never lost control like she had. He didn't live his life in fear of himself. Jack didn't isolate himself from the world, without a single friend to talk to. She had her parents, but they weren't someone her age. They weren't like her, not in the slightest. "You don't have the right to criticize me. You didn't live my life and it's not like you are any older than me." she said defensively, sitting down next to him.

"That is a fair point, but I still know more than you think. Just how old do you think I am?" Jack asked, sitting up and looking at her. Elsa looked at him and shrugged, not understanding the point of his question. "Eighteen?" she guessed, thinking he still looked rather young. The brown hair only seemed to make him look younger, but she didn't say anything about it. He was probably worried enough about his situation already.

Jack laughed, shaking his head. "That is what I look like, but no where near my real age. Try three hundred or so, if you really are that interested." he responded. Elsa's eyes widened in surprise, not expecting this. She had barely known him and had made assumptions the whole time, thinking he always had control of his magic and that he was so much younger than her. She never once considered the possibility that he had struggled as well.

"Your family…" she whispered, thinking about Anna. Elsa could not imagine living that long, losing everyone you ever knew and cared about. Jack nodded, thinking about his recently regained memories. "I wasn't always magical. I had a family, a sister. I was always the irresponsible one, playing pranks and games. One day, I convinced my sister to go ice skating with me on the pond by our house. It was late in the winter, probably a bit too warm for the ice to stay frozen, but I wanted to have fun with her before the winter ended." he began, thinking about the day he was chosen.

Elsa felt sympathy for him. She had a sister, one who always wanted to spend time with her. As much as Elsa wanted to, she could never say yes to Anna's invitation. "The ice was too thin to hold our weight. It was cracking and she was about to fall in. I convinced her that we would play a game, in an attempt to calm her down and get her to safety. It worked and I managed to use this very staff to pull her out of danger, but in doing so my weight shifted onto the weak spot in the ice. I took her place and I died instead, drowning in the pond under the ice." he said, shaking his head. "The moon had other plans for me. I woke up, staring into its brightness and I heard its voice. He told me that I was Jack Frost and when I came out, I had this ability to make snow and frost. I used it to bring fun to children, letting them play and joining in myself." he told her.

Elsa sighed, realizing that while he had been through a lot it did not compare to her situation. "That is hard, but you do not understand what it is like to be completely alone for your entire life." she repeated, but Jack wasn't done yet. The cold was growing inside of him, but he ignored it to finish his tale. "There is something else that came along with my power. I'm certain you noticed my reaction to Kristoff seeing me, and to you speaking with me when I first came in here." he said, only making Elsa nod in response.

"People can only see me if they believe I exist. In my world, no one knew about me until a few weeks ago. I spent years watching people, unable to interact with them in any way. Every time I tried, they would walk straight through me as if nothing was there." Jack said, feeling lost just remembering it. It was still hard thinking about it and he knew it wasn't over quite yet. He had a long way to go to get the world to believe in him, but at least now he had a place to start. He smiled as he thought about Jamie, the nice boy who had held on to his belief until the very end. Jack was glad to have a kid like him that believed in him.

That smile faded as a shiver ran through his body, the cold intensifying and rushing through him. This was not right and Jack knew it. Even if he was used to being cold, this would be extreme. Elsa stared at him in alarm as she saw a familiar sight, a strand of hair changing color. She didn't understand why it had turned brown only to turn white again, but she couldn't deny that it was happening. "Hold on, Jack. You will be fine, I promise." Elsa said, grabbing his hand. She had hurt him, just like her sister all those years ago. This time, she wouldn't watch helplessly. Elsa was determined to make this right and heal Jack, something she had never figured out how to do on her own.

Jack smiled at her softly, glad to see that she had let go of some of her fear. There was hope for her yet, even with Pitch Black's influence still in this world. That was when the doors to the room burst open and two guards walked in, armed with crossbows to attack the queen. Elsa jumped up, her arms raised to protect herself and Jack. "Hey, looks like we've got more people to join in on the fun." Jack commented weakly, trying to keep the mood light. The guards looked at each other, seeming to be unable to believe the boy's stupidity. After a few moments, they turned their bows towards him, ready to attack if he moved to defend the queen.

"No! Please!" Elsa yelled, not wanting to see Jack hurt even further. One of the guards switched their focus to her, aiming and firing a single bolt to attack. Elsa's fear had begun to return, but this time she could feel small amounts of control over her powers. It wasn't much, but it was enough to allow her to destroy the bolt without harming the guard. "Stay away!" she yelled, throwing ice back in retaliation. Elsa was going to stop them, no matter what it took.

"Elsa, stop. Don't give into your fear, not over me. Promise me that you'll learn to see the fun in your magic." Jack whispered, realizing that this cold was not going to leave him. Whatever this spell was, it seemed like it was going to be the end. He could feel his body becoming numb with cold. It was shaking uncontrollably and he had lost the ability to feel his toes. He had shared his story with this girl and even though they were different, his values had to live on. With powers like his, this girl had the potential to replace him as a Guardian. She had to learn to protect fun and joy in everyone. In order to do that, she had to see the fun in herself. Jack only hoped he could get her to see it quick enough.

Hearing his voice, so weak and desperate, made Elsa hesitate. Jack needed help now and if she continued fighting, it would be too late. "I promise, Jack. Just hang on a few more minutes, I'll find help for you." she whispered back, turning towards the guards. "Queen Iduna and King Agnarr are still alive! The sorcerer was holding them captive in this castle the entire time!" a man shouted out, joining the attack. Elsa recognized him as Hans of the Southern Isles.

"I did not! My parents found me here and tried to help me." Elsa said, defending herself before realizing that she should probably remain silent. None of them would listen to her, not after what happened. "Please, leave Elsa alone! She doesn't deserve this treatment, she is just scared!" Iduna pleaded, having been brought into the room with Hans. She looked at her daughter, her eyes filled with tears as she saw the danger she was facing.

"Wait! If I promise to surrender and go with you, will you release my parents and find help for Jack?" Elsa asked, seeing how hopeless this was becoming. Hans nods, pleased to have a chance to bring the queen back to Arendelle. Once she was out of the way, he would only have to deal with Anna to get the crown. Elsa had brought this on herself and her sister deserved what was coming for being so gullible. The guards cuffed Elsa, the steel completely surrounding her hands and blocking her magic. Another one stepped forward and picked up Jack, who had fallen unconscious towards the end of the attack. "Keep that staff with him. It is special to him." Elsa told the guards, watching them pick it up and place it on the boy's lap in response. Together, the group headed back to the castle where they would find their fate.
