Hey guys, It's me again! Thanks again for the continuous support! It means a lot to me,really ;)

This is the longest chapter I've written so far and the most romantic one? I dunno *laughs. Hope you enjoy!

I don't own ROTG or Frozen. Thank Dreamworks and Disney for creating such awesome characters;)

Chapter 4

Panic.

That was the only feeling Elsa had while she was sliding down what seemed like an endless tunnel. She had so much on her mind a second ago but now her mind was completely blank. The rough ground scratching her back and probably tearing up her dress into shreds was the least of her worries. She just wanted to make it out alive.

Jack, on the other hand, looked like he was having the time of his life. He raised both his lean arms and laughed like a child. He stared at her and let out another laugh.

"Gosh! Elsa! Just loosen up and relax!" He shouted over the yells and screams of all the other guardians. She opened her eyes slowly and stared at him like he just said he wanted to get flushed down a dirty toilet.

Jack grabbed her wrist and pulled it up so it wasn't wrapped tight around her body anymore. She carefully put up both her arms.

She was sliding down faster now. Strangely, the simple movement of her arms made her feel free and, dare she say it, she was having fun. She laughed at Jack.

"Hey look, she laughs!" He shouted over the wind whipping through them as they fell. She tried hitting him but they came to an abrupt stop.

She stood there and only managed to gawk. This place was beautiful.

It was covered in green, green grass with lakes full of shiny colours and exotic plants with unique shapes and sizes. Eggs were walking about independently, on their legs?

"Elsa, is it? This," said the tall, grey bunny gesturing to the place around her, "Is the Warren." He let out a triumphant smile.

"Now guys, time to introduce ourselves to the newbie!" squealed a beautiful fairy clapping her hands together. "I'm Toothiana, Elsa. Welcome! I'm the tooth fairy." She beamed at her.

"I'm North. Nice to meet you!" He said with a heavy Russian accent. Elsa couldn't stop staring at the tattoos on his arms. Santa? Tattooed?

"I'm Bunnymund, the Easter -"

"Kangaroo, and this is Sandy over here," Jack cut off Bunnymund and pushed Sandy forward lightly. He shimmered and waved at Elsa. She smiled shyly.

Bunnymund looked annoyed and rolled his eyes.

"We have to seal the entrances first, just in case Pitch finds a way somehow to get through your burrows." Jack went over and froze the entrance they came through with his staff until it was blocked by a thick layer of ice and started on a new one. "A little help here, snowflake?" It took about two seconds for Elsa to realize he was talking to her. She didn't know if she was blushing when she noticed he gave her a nickname so she walked over quickly.

"Umm…How do you want me to help?" She looked up shyly at him. For the first time it struck her how attractive he looked, naturally. With his slightly messed up white hair and his playful icy blue eyes. He gave her a smirk.

"Are you kidding, snow queen?" he let out a short laugh. "Just let it go and see what happens, I guess." He looked amused.

She put out both her hands and concentrated. She felt them get colder and colder until she heard him say "Whoa…"

This was the first time she tried releasing her powers not out of fear.

It was awesome.

Icicles formed on the outside of the ice block, facing away from them. They were sharp and pointy, all arranged neatly in circles decreasing in size, ring after ring. Some were covered in snow and some were glistening, freshly formed. A laugh bubbled out of her.

"You see, you don't know what you're capable of." He looked at her with pride in his eyes. She smiled back.

"We're going to find some place to rest for the night. You two just continue with all the safety measures and things." Bunny beckoned the other guardians to follow him into a tunnel leading somewhere.

"Come on, I want to show you something." Jack held her hand and pulled her towards a random coloured lake after they finished freezing all the entrances.

"I've been doing this for ages ever since I came here, I find it pretty cool." He explained while he dipped his hand into the lake. " 'Course Bunny reserved it for his precious eggs only, but…" He smirked. "Who knows, right? Unless you tell him and put me in grave danger of being trapped in an eggshell for eternity." He grinned at her and she laughed. She laughed more in a single day than she had for the previous twenty years of her life. And she didn't mind it a single bit.

He pulled out his hand, which was now multi-coloured. He formed a fist and opened it, revealing a tiny snowman, with all the colours of the rainbow. She looked at him in awe. "You can do that?" He smiled to himself seeing the look in her eyes, much like a child's curiosity to things instead of a fearful, lonely queen. He preferred the child one.

"Yeah."

"But how?"

"Can't you?"

She stared at her hands. She looked scared again. Like she did back in the castle.

"Are you sure it's safe for me here? What if I freeze this place?" She started to panic again. "I can't control them, I just don't know how." She looked sad and hopeless.

"Hey, Elsa look at me." He lifted her face up by her chin so she looked him right in the eye. "If you want to control your powers, you must embrace them first."

He laced his fingers around her's and dipped them in the lake. After a few seconds, he lifted them back up. "Ready?"

She didn't want to disappoint him by asking what to do again. So she took his advice earlier and just relaxed. And let it go.

They opened their palms simultaneously and found a snowflake inside. Colourful and flawless, about the size of a toddler's palm. It was made of ice.

"I didn't know I could do these things." Elsa looked amazed at such a delicate, beautiful thing, created by her deadly, fearful hands. She felt hopeful about overcoming her inability to control her powers. It was just a little bit of hope, but it was a lot more than she felt back when she was alone in the ice palace.

Jack broke a small hole through the snowflake with a tiny icicle he formed. He threaded it with a strand of grass nearby and presented it to Elsa.

"This is for you, as a reminder that you can control your powers, and their beautiful, not deadly." He kneeled down behind her and brushed her braid to one side. He tied a knot on it and let it fall against her neck.

"Thank you." For a moment she looked happy. He felt happy too. Then she looked serious again.

"Jack, why does Pitch want to take me away? What did I do to him?" She looked puzzled.

He sighed. He was sure she had to ask some time sooner or later, rather she knew now. He just hoped he wouldn't make her feel even more afraid.

"Elsa, you see, Pitch represents fear." He began slowly. "Since we last defeated him, the children of the world aren't afraid of him anymore, and that makes him weak. But now…" He reached out and brushed his thumb over the ice snowflake she was wearing. "Now he found you. And you're scared. Very scared. He senses fear in you. As long as there's fear, he will have power, and fear will spread like wildfire across the globe." He looked at her. "In order to stop him, you must control your powers and stop fearing them. Or else…"

She covered her face with her hands. "Oh, no… I can't do this Jack, I can't, really!" She looked up in despair. "I can't control it, I just can't, I'll –I'll end up -" Tears flowed down her cheeks. "Please, you need to find some other way to save the world. Please. I'm sorry."

He pushed a stray lock of blonde hair from her face behind her ear, and ran his fingers along the line of her jaw. He wanted to tell her that even when she's crying she's beautiful too. Instead, he pulled her into his arms. He didn't know when he started to care so much about her, but she suddenly meant the world to him. "I'll help you, you can do this, I'm sure you can." He stroked her hair. He meant it. And he was determined to do exactly that. No matter what.

OK, so yeah...

Was it too cheesy? Hope you don't find it so, though. :)
