A/N: Hey everyone! Here's the next chapter of Love Will Thaw! Sorry for the wait!

Disclaimer: I don't own Frozen or Rise of the Guardians.

Love is an Open Door

Jack slowly pulled away from Elsa and smiled. "Ok, here's what we have…" He trailed off with a groan and stumbled. Elsa grabbed him and lowered him gently to the floor. Why hadn't she created furniture? "Jack? Jack what's wrong?"

"My chest… it hurts… a lot… where you hit it."

Elsa froze. "I struck you with my magic?" Jack gave her a weak smile. "It shouldn't matter. My heart froze a long time ago, with the rest of my body."

Elsa frowned. "What? How? And how are you not frozen?"

"I am." He gestured to the balcony. "See the moon? That's Manny. I was playing with my little sister and the ice started to crack. I saved her, but I fell through into the freezing water. Manny saved me by making me… like I am now. A Guardian. I think when I got zapped it started up again." He grimaced. "Elsa, there's something I need to tell you."

"No," she said. Her voice was firm but he could hear an underlying note of panic. "Save your strength. Do you know how to fix it?"

"An act of true love," he answered, his eyes automatically finding hers. She blushed prettily and cleared her throat. "Is there something—?"

She was cut off by a roar from Marshmallow outside. "Stay here."

Jack watched helplessly as she left the room. He could hear fighting outside and heard a loud, awful crash. Looks like the bridge broke.

Elsa came dashing back in and hauled Jack to his feet. "We have to go! Now!"

"Get her!" Two men burst into the room and fired a crossbow straight at them. Elsa threw up her arms to shield her face as Jack staggered into her. A wall of ice shot up and stopped the bolt in its tracks. Elsa blinked, then got a determined look on her face. She used her powers to slam the smaller of the two into the wall and pin him in place, leaving him suspended as she turned her attention to the other. Jack grabbed her hand before the larger goon was pushed off the balcony. "Elsa…"

"Queen Elsa! Don't be the monster they think you are!" They both turned toward the shout and saw a princely man with reddish brown hair and green eyes standing in the doorway. Jack saw his eyes dart to the side, then up. He followed the trail and saw the pinned man leveling a crossbow at Elsa. The man he assumed was Hans slammed his arm up and Jack's eyes followed the bolt to the chandelier. He threw all his weight into slamming Elsa to the side and smacked his head on the floor. He heard the snap of his staff and vaguely thought, 'Aw not again.'

He heard Elsa cry his name and felt warmth on his face.

Then all went black and the last thing he felt was a pounding in his head and a warmth in his chest.
