Chapter Two: Jack Frost
Jack Frost had no memories of himself before the Man on the Moon had told him his name. He hasn't heard anything from the Moon since, but it was only moments later that he discovered his magic. He could freeze anything, frost anything over, control snow and ice, but never in a million years had he ever imagined that anyone like Elsa existed. She doesn't need an object to amplify her magic the way his staff does for him, and even more so she has so much power that she couldn't control it properly. That is one thing Jack never had a problem with, but then again, he never really had a reason to be in control of anything.
It's not like Jack could whip up a storm just because he was angry and couldn't control it, or like there was anyone who would tell him not to bring snow to people and give children fun with the snow days and fun he provided. He never accidentally struck someone with his magic, and he never really hurt anyone because of it. Jack was very much a free spirit who did just about whatever he wanted with little consequence. Though he had all of this at his disposal, there was one thing he wanted more than anything…
He wanted people to see him. He wanted to be believed in. He wanted the children to play in the snow and thank him, directly or indirectly, for giving them the day out of school to play in the snow. He wanted the children to think "Hey, maybe Jack Frost will come" the way children look forward to having Santa Claus come on Christmas. He wanted to give children the time of their lives and have them know that it was him, and he had asked the Moon many a time to help him, but to no prevail…. The Moon stayed silent and let Jack go on unsure of his purpose.
That is, until recently…
Jack had known about the Guardians, but not too long ago, they came to him and told him that he was chosen to be one. He didn't believe it at first, but the Tooth Fairy told him that he was indeed someone before he became Jack Frost. He believes that if he gets his memories back that he could realize what his purpose is and that would give him a reason to be a Guardian. He could never have the powers of Queen Elsa, but maybe he has a purpose after all…
And that is why he needs Elsa's help. The only way to regain his memories is to defeat Pitch and to get his teeth back along with the rest of the world's teeth for The Tooth Fairy, and he knew that his magic was strong against Pitch. Though he had only just realized just how powerful Elsa was, the two of them would do a lot more damage than just Jack, and if Elsa could see Jack, maybe she could see Pitch too, and she could help him.
As he watched Elsa run away into the distance, though, he was seriously starting to doubt his theory.
"It's been 5 years...," he said to himself. I'm honestly surprised she remembered who I was...It was one day that we played in the snow so long ago, and she not only saw me, but she remembered me. Can she only see me because of our magic?
Jack pondered on this idea for a moment, but then he heard the cries of the people back at the party. He wanted to help, but they couldn't see him. Elsa was the only one who could. He could go confront Pitch…
Meanwhile, Pitch hid in the shadows, watching the fear unravel before him.
"Hmm...someone made it snow, and inside the castle, too. Jack? I know you're here. You can come out of hiding. I know you and your precious Guardians are here." Pitch yelled among a crowd that couldn't hear him.
Jack came out and looked over at Pitch, who was in the corner.
"Snow won't hurt me, Jack. It's just weather," he stated as he came closer and started to circle around Jack. "Is this your idea of a childish prank? Did you just come here to have some fun?"
It started to come to Jack's attention that Pitch knew nothing of Elsa and her magic. He wouldn't accuse Jack of causing the snow, which was starting to subside, if he knew about her. Which could only mean…
"Why did you follow me here?" Jack asked, ignoring Pitch's questions.
Pitch smiled a devious smile and replied, "I'm simply here to eliminate a threat to my plans. You've gotten in my way one too many times, Jack, and Guardian or not, I will not let you stand in my way again."
"You wanna take it outside?" Jack said confidently.
"Oh, you mean to avoid all of these people inside?"
"It's not their fight, Pitch. They have nothing to do with this."
"True, but neither did you until recently, which I still don't understand why you would want to help the likes of them."
Then, Jack had an idea…
"What do you mean by help the likes of them?" Jack said, giving Pitch the most confusing look. "I'm not with them. They asked me to be a Guardian, and I had turned them down. Was I upset that you killed Sandy? Yeah, but that's because Sandy didn't deserve to
die. I want no part in this fight you've started with them."
Pitch looked at Jack as if he were skeptical. Jack just hoped he would take the bait and give him the time he needed to go find Elsa.
"Alright, I see," said Pitch. "I will make an agreement with you then. Stay out of our fight, and I will not destroy any of the other Guardians."
Jack smiled in his head, knowing that he had won this battle with a lupole Pitch would never see coming.
"You have my word that I will not fight in your battle with the Guardians any longer, but should you break your promise and I find out one of them is gone because of you again, I will personally be the one to destroy you with only your Nightmares to give you comfort as they feed on your fear."
Pitch nodded his head. "Then we are agreed."
