How is everyone's week? Good I hope. I am sorry this chapter took later than expected to publish. I'm sure plenty of you are upset with me, but I am studying to get my GED on top of writing this and a family friend went into surgery. So life kind of took me by the horns and rode me for a while. I couldn't sit down and write. Here is the chapter I promised you.

Elsa woke with a brilliant stretch. It started with her toes all the way up to her neck. Who knew sleeping on soft snow would be so relaxing? She spied Jack sitting below on a railing with his brown staff in between his legs. "Jack!" she cried, running down the stairs.

He looked up and grinned at her, but she could see his grin was distant. He was thinking of something. What was it? Could it have been leaving her? Could he be really thinking of leaving her? She stopped dead a few feet before him. "Are you thinking of leaving me?" she voiced her doubts.

"What? No, no. Anna was here," Jack admitted, shooting glances at her.

Elsa staggered a bit. How had her sister found her? Had she come to fight her? What was… "Arendelle is in an eternal winter." Winter? Had her power been that strong? It was time to stop asking questions. She needed to get down to Arendelle, she had to find some way to stop this winter from spreading.

"We have to go to them!"

"How Elsa? How are we going to fix this? We create snow, not drive it away." Jack stepped closer to her, wondering what she was going to do.

A frozen heart can be thawed. Elsa tapped her fore finger on her chin. What if Arendelle was a frozen heart? Could it be thawed? It could, she would just have to think of a way to thaw Arendelle. She couldn't cast her powers away and hope that it would melt. If it continued to snow and the water continued to freeze, they would be in extremely bad shape.

"We have to thaw Arendelle. Come on, Jack, please, pretty please."

With everything packed, they left for Arendelle. The path down the mountain was treacherous and slow going. Faster and faster, the sun dipped below the mountain ridge. "We need to stop for the night," Jack said just as they came to the edge of the huge lake that surrounded the stone castle. Vaguely, he could see people moving about, smoke coming out of chimneys and fires dotted the stone courtyard.

Elsa huddled around the fire Jack had created. "Are you ready to go home?" She stared at him, blue eyes tearing up.

"No, but do I have a choice? I don't want to listen them call me a monster again. I don't want to be rejected just because I have something I was born with. Arendelle is my kingdom, I am its queen. I have to go back." Jack nodded. He scooted closer to her and put his arms around her shoulders. With a vivid image, she remembered the kiss he had given her and the flowers that bloomed from such a gentle thing.

Perhaps…was he going to kiss her now? Ease her heart and settle her stomach as it marched up through her mouth to… Jack pulled himself up and put out his hand to help her. She allowed him to do so. "Let's get some sleep."

They settled around the fire, a little further into the woods to stop predators and the random guy from stumbling onto them in their sleep.

The morning sun rose like a hot red ball over the mountain on which her ice castle stood. She definitely wasn't ready to go home, but Arendelle wallowing in ice and winter was her fault. She had to figure out a way to thaw it somehow.

They neared the castle, people gathering around them, keeping a distance. An uncomfortable whisper traveled through the crowd. "There she is!" a distinctive shout echoed from the back. Mothers pulled their curious children to their chests and fathers stepped in front of families. "You don't belong here! Go back to the mountain!"

The shouting brought Anna and the man Jack knew as Kristoff into the stone courtyard. Suddenly an idea popped into Elsa's head. She stared at her sister and the man she was with. There was a certain around them. An air she had only seen with her parents. They were in love. That's how she would thaw Arendelle. That's how it would happen. Her saddened face broadened into a smile.

"MONSTER!" the man from Weaseltown screamed. He pointed a shaking finger at her. "Get her. Bring her down! Kill her!" The two men who were shadowing him raised the crossbows and fired.

"No!" Jack screamed. Instantly, he jumped in front of her, waved his staff and a blast of icy snow threw the men back. He skidded to a halt, standing in front of the crowd. "Is this how you repay her? By allowing this man to kill her? Or attempt to? She didn't have to come back. Arendelle could have stayed in this eternal winter and trade could've stopped. If trade stopped, we all know what would happen. You would starve and die. You wouldn't be here. Some of you would even freeze when you try to brave the forest and mountain range beyond. She came back for you. For all of you. She came back to stop the winter and restore summer. "

One person clapped. Soon people followed his example, nodding to each other, finally convinced that Elsa wasn't going to kill them. He grinned back at the queen.

"How do we stop this winter Elsa?" Anna said, standing by her sister. The girls smiled at each other, happy that their relationship as sisters was once restored.

"I know how. We have a celebration. A wedding."

Dun, dun, dun. Who's wedding? Can you guess? Thank you for all the reviews, follows and favorites. I definitely look forward to getting the next chapter down and published. I am not going to put a deadline on it because I had a hard time publishing it on the deadline for chapter two. This story is exciting, the chapter will be in soon.
