Jack's POV*
"Jack! Jack, can you hear me?" I heard Tooth's voice call out to me. I shook my head slightly, slowly opening my eyes. With my vision blurry, I could barely make out those in front of me. Slowly, my vision became clearer and I saw the Guardians all standing around me.
"Oh Jack! You gave us a fright back there!" North boomed, picking me up from where I was laying and wrapping me in a tight bear hug.
"Ow! It's nice to see you al too." I winced. North put me back down on one of his workshop's tables. I wasn't feeling as bad as I had been earlier, which was a relief.
"Jack, can you please tell us what happened last night?" North asked me, offering me a cup of milk, which I gladly took, and some cookies. I gulped the milk down, feeling the cold liquid go down my throat.
"What?" I asked, confused for a second.
"Elsa's sister, Anna, sent us a letter last night, that I didn't receive 'till a few hours later because I was busy working to make toys for children, since it's almost Christmas, and once I read it, I immediately alerted the guardians and we flew around the entire world to find you!"
"Oh." I said, immediately remembering what happened last night. I remember being hit with Elsa's snowball, being "electro-shocked" back to life, and seeing Elsa kissing Dylan. I really wished I hadn't remembered that, for when I did, I immediately felt the exact same sharp pain I felt earlier shoot up in my chest, making me clench my chest, and bend forward, gasping.
"Jack! Are you alright?" North said, his hands on my shoulders.
"Why won't this pain go away?!" I unintentionally cried out.
"What pain Jack?" I heard Tooth ask me.
I slowly managed to sit back up, and I explained to them what happened last night. I hesitated when I got to the part about how I caught Dylan and Elsa kissing for fear of feeling the pain in my chest again, but I didn't and I continued telling them what happened. Surprisingly, it didn't hit me.
"Oh, Jack. I am so sorry." Tooth said, holding my hands in hers. Her eyes would drift up to the top of my head, but then back at me.
"Is there something wrong?" I asked her, seeing how she wouldn't stop looking at hair.
"Um, well.." Tooth started to say but stopped, not really knowing what to tell me. Bunny then stepped forward to me beside of her.
"Jack, what's going on with your hair mate?" He asked me.
"What?" My hands darted up to my hair, feeling it. It didn't feel different to me at all. I suddenly remembered how earlier I had seen what looked like a hint of brown in it.
"I need a mirror now!" I said, looking at them. North ran off into his office and then came back out holding a mirror. I grabbed it from him and held it in front of me. Sure enough, the small tint of brown I had seen earlier had now scattered around my hair, still leaving at least less than half of my hair with its original silver color.
"What's going on?" I asked out loud. I looked at them all in alarm, as if maybe they had the answer to my question. They all stood around me in silence 'till Sandy finally stepped forward. He bounced up 'till he was hovering right in front of my face. He put his finger to his lips, signaling me to be quiet, and put his small hand on my chest, right where my heart was. I remained seated still 'till he was done with whatever he was doing.
I looked at him, waiting on an answer, but he remained silent. He slowly hovered back down to the ground and looked at the guardians with a sad look on his face.
"Sandy! What's wrong?" I asked him, hoping off the table and kneeling down in front of him. He looked up at me, then back at the guardians. He walked up to North and extended his small hand out at him. North looked at him with a confused look on his face. Sandy nodded towards North's coat pocket and that's when North finally understood. He quickly searched his pocket, pulling out his magic snow globe and handed it down to Sandy.
Still holding it in his hands, he closed his eyes, releasing his energy into it. Suddenly, the snow globe produced a holographic projection of various images. All of them were of me and Elsa and the times we spent together. When he got to when I was hit with the snowball, it immediately switched to a blurry vision that I couldn't quite make out. After staring at it for some time, I then realized that the fuzzy image was of me and Elsa kissing. The projection then disappeared back into the snow globe.
"An act of true love will thaw a frozen heart." Sandy slowly said to me. I was completely taken aback from what he said. It was mostly because I had never heard Sandy speak to any of us at all. He always communicated with us by producing images made from his sand.
"Like true love's kiss?" I asked Sandy. "Is that what you mean?" Sandy looked at me and nodded his head. For a second, I actually became happy. Happy with the thought of finally telling Elsa that I love her. Maybe, this was a good time (well sort of) for it.
Suddenly, we heard what sounded like a loud popping noise followed by another one. North ran in the direction where it came from in the workshop. I saw his kneel down and hold what appeared to be two letters, but one was in a silver envelope. He quickly ran back to us, and opened the first one. He quickly skimmed it, gasping once he got to the end.
"Oh no." He said, opening the letter back up and reading it again. Tooth, Bunny, and Sandy all hovered around him to read it. Once they appeared to be done, their eyes widened in horror.
"What is it?" I asked them. With a shaking hand, North handed it to me. I opened it up, seeing it was a letter from Anna. In it, she explained that she had gone to see Elsa earlier in the day to see how we were both doing, only to find out that I was gone and that Prince Dylan was going to stay longer than they had expected. I kept reading it. She explained about how Elsa looked different and treated her horribly by slapping her. My eyes then stopped at the sentence where she explained that Elsa was planning to marry Dylan. I read that sentence over and over 'till it was embedded in my mind. The sight of it hurt my eyes, and I felt as if I someone had pulled my heart out. I put the letter down, not even bothering to continue reading it.
"She's going to marry Dylan." I said out loud. It even hurt to say it.
"But why would she do that?" Bunny asked, looking down at me. I didn't bother to answer him for I really did not know the answer to it. I looked back up at North.
"What's in the envelope?" I asked. North looked down at the silver envelope in his hand. He opened it and took out a small silver card. He read it slowly and once he was done, he gave it to me, not bothering to look me in the eye. The card had fancy gold writing on it. It said:
"You are cordially invited to attend the royal wedding of Prince Dylan, from the Southern Isles, and Queen Elsa of Arendelle, tonight, at 7 o'clock at the Arendelle castle. You are allowed to bring as many guests as you like to watch as two loving couples come together in marriage."
I let go of the letter, letting it fall on the floor. For a while, no one spoke, and during that time, I felt like my whole world had just shattered into thousands of pieces and was now crashing down on me.
"Jack, we're so very sorry." Tooth said, coming towards me to give me a hug. I put my hand in front of me, signaling her to stop.
"Don't come any closer." I said to her.
"Jack, please." She said, attempting to come closer. I picked up my staff and pointed it at her, now making her stop in place.
"I should never have listened to you." I said angrily to her. "If I hadn't listened to you, then maybe I would've been better off leaving Elsa with Dylan, instead of having to go through everything, including watching her be with him! And now look, they're getting married! Do you even know how much it hurts to watch the person you love love somebody else?!" I shouted at her. With the curved part pointing at Tooth, I slowly began to focus my energy into it 'till my staff glowed with the energy.
"Whoa, whoa! Jack, stop!" Bunny shouted at me, running in front of Tooth and shielding her from me.
"Get out of the way Kangaroo." I hissed at him. I came closer and closer to them, still holding my staff in my hand.
"Jack! This is not her fault!" Bunny shouted over the crackling noise that came from my staff.
"No, it isn't." I said. "It's all of you guys faults!"
"Jack, what are you talking about?" North said, drawing his swords out from within his coat.
"If you guys had just left me alone instead of throwing me in that stupid sack to Arendelle so we could all go to Elsa's royal party that night, then maybe none of this would be happening!" I shouted at them. I got closer to Bunny and Tooth when I suddenly saw the pointy end of North's sword in my face.
"Jack, stop." North calmly said to me, holding the sword.
I then realized what I was doing and put my staff down. I realized it wasn't really their faults. I was just heartbroken about everything that was going on that I felt like I needed to take it out on something, and that turned out to be the guardians. They, who had been nothing but helpful and caring during these past few years, and here I was, getting ready to hurt one of them.
I needed to talk to Elsa and stop this wedding, but I didn't want the Guardians to get involved because I didn't want them to get hurt. I knew what I had to do.
"I'm sorry." I said to them.
I held my staff high above me and slammed the end part down hard against the floor, ice covering the entire floor and sending the Guardians flying back towards the wall. When they all tumbled back, Sandy who had still been holding on to North's snow globe, let go of it. I managed to catch it with my free hand and threw it hard against the wall, shattering it. I then ran towards the opposite part of the room and took my snow globe out of my pocket and threw it out in front of me. The portal immediately opened and I ran into it, landing in Arendelle within a few seconds.
