Zane's eyes fluttered open. Seeing where he was made him gasp. He was in a dungeon. Chains were fastened to his hands, and to the wall. Looking around he saw that he wasn't alone, Zoe had just entered the room.
"Why did you bring me here?" Zane asked her.
"I couldn't just let them kill you." She said. "Listen, if you could please just stop the winter..."
Zane looked up at her, desperate. He didn't know how, why did everyone think that he could simply undo everything as easily as he had made it?
"Don't you see... I can't." He searched Zoe's eyes for any sign of understanding. "You have to tell them to let me go."
Zoe sighed.
"I'll do what I can."
With that she left and locked the door. Zane heard a cracking sound and looked down at his shackles, they were beginning to freeze over. He went over to the small window, and saw the storm growing fiercer by the second.
Nya and Jay raced toward Arendelle on Flame. Nya could see how weak Jay was getting.
"Hang in there." She said, and then shouted to Flame. "Faster buddy!"
When they arrived at the village, Dareth stopped.
"Hold on guys, I'll catch up with you at the castle, I just need a break."
Nya nodded, and pressed on faster to the castle. Any moment now Jay could turn to ice. When they made it to the castle courtyard, guards ran to help them.
"It"s prince Jay!" They exclaimed.
Jay took one last look at Nya before he was pushed through to gate.
"Are you g-gonna be okay?" He said, freezing.
Nya looked at him reassuringly. "Don't worry about me."
Jay was hustled through the halls until he they found the room with Zoe. She ran over to him, and grabbed him.
"Your so cold!"
"You have to kiss me."
"What?"
"Zane struck me with his powers, and now my heart is frozen. Only an act of true love can thaw a frozen heart, a true love's kiss. Zoe, your my true love, I need you to kiss me or I'll die!"
Zoe seemed unsure of what to do, as he clung to her, to weak to stand.
"We'll give you two some privacy." One of the guards said, and they left the room.
Zoe carried him and laid him on a couch in the room. She prepared to kiss him. She leaned in, slowly... gently... but then stopped at last minute.
"Oh Jay, If only there was someone out there who loved you."
"What are you talking about? You said you loved me!" Jay gasped.
Zoe chuckled, and walked over to the window and closed the curtains.
"Oh Jay, you never saw it coming, did you? As thirteenth in line for my own kingdom, I knew I would have to marry into the throne somewhere. When you came along, you were so desperate for love, and you were willing to marry me just like that."
Zoe walked across the room and dumped at pitcher of water on the fire. It sizzled and went out, leaving the room cold and dark.
"I figured after we were married I would stage a little accident for Zane. But now he's doomed himself, and all there's left to do is kill him and bring back summer."
Jay was crushed. This sudden betrayal pierced his heart and made him even colder. He thought she had loved him. She hadn't just done that, had she? His doubt turned to anger as she prepared to leave the room.
"You are a monster!" He said as hard as he could.
Zoe just smirked. "No, I am the hero that will save Arendelle from destruction."
She slammed the door, locking Jay inside. The rest of Jay's hair turned white, and he crumbled to the floor, too hoarse to call for help and too weak to do anything himself.
