Jack's POV:

I stare down at Elsa's limp body. It's night time, and Anna had finally gone to bed after a lot of persuasion. I don't like seeing Elsa like this. After Elsa fell to sleep, Pabbie said that her mind will start healing. Then, the troll turned to me with narrowed eyes, and for someone reason, I felt guilty. "You know the one who did this," he had said. Deep down I did, because before I came to Arendelle, he had been trying to get me on his side and I refused.

Was this his revenge? Has he been spying me? The thought made me edgy— had he seen Elsa kiss me? My cheeks grew warm, and I fought the blush coming on. Even thinking about the kiss made me feel weird inside, and I'm not sure if that's good or bad.

I mean, obviously I enjoyed it. Who wouldn't enjoy kissing someone as cool and as attractive as Elsa? She's interesting, and simply amazing.

But I know it can't work. I want it to, but no matter what, it'll never be. I don't even want to enjoy the time we have together like that because when it's time to move on, it'll hurt too much.

I purse my lips. What's she doing to me? I feel more serious than I ever have before. Usually, my mind is wired, and I'm all about fun– I still am, but not as much as before. Lately, since becoming friends with Elsa, it's like I want to act more mature, and be as formal as her... I'm sure if she knew that, she'd be angry, as I know she wants me to be myself. I am being myself, but just a little less childish.

Now, though, I'm scared for her. If Pitch Black has been spying on me, then he knows Elsa is important to me, and he also knows about her powers. I gulp. Maybe that's why he's targeting her; he wants her to be on his side. I won't let that happen. By now, Elsa is way too important to me to allow anything to happen.

I think back to the kiss. It was so unexpected, and honestly, it was all too quick. Not the kiss, but the fact that she kissed me after three days of knowing me. It's odd. Maybe she realised how little time we have together and acted on an impulse. I'm not sure, and I don't exactly mind, but I don't want to rush things either.

I sigh, and cross my arms over my chest. I'm sitting on a velvet covered chair by her bed. She's been mumbling in her sleep, and she's been twisting and turning. I wonder if she's having a nightmare. She told me about her nightmares and how in each one she freezes Anna. Obviously, that's her biggest fear.

I look out at the moon which is shining in through the large balcony door. It's probably around one in the morning on Christmas Day.

Wait– Christmas Day!

North will be here soon. I can talk to him; he'd know what to do about my situation. I need all the help I can get– everything I have with Elsa is so new to me.

The minutes tick by, and then I see him. Immediately, I run out into the balcony, and jump over the edge. North is flying down by the town, so I follow him. As he lands on one of the roofs, I perch myself on the back of his sleigh. The wood creaks beneath me and I raise an eyebrow. This sleigh doesn't exactly look safe.

Hearing the creak, North turns around quickly. He smiles when he sees me. "Oh! Jack! You give me fright." He narrows his eyes at me. "Don't do that again."

"Hey, North. I need to talk to you. It's.. It's important."

So I tell him what happened. I purposely avoid mentioning that Elsa kissed me– it isn't exactly relevant. But I tell him the rest, and of how Elsa woke up this morning and couldn't even see me. I explain about the trolls, and when I tell him that it was Pitch, North doesn't look the slightest bit happy.

"What that man up to now?" he exclaims in a heavy Russian accent. He folds his arms. "And you say he target this girl?" I nod my head slowly. I can't help but feel panicky. North frowns, his eyebrows knitted together as he thinks this through. My heart sinks when I hear his answer. "You'll have to leave her alone, Jack. It's the only way. Lead Pitch astray, and I'll help you."

He looks to his sleigh. "Right now, though, I have job to do."

I open my mouth to reply, but North has left me alone on the roof as he gives this family presents. I feel emotionless. He wants me to leave Elsa? I can't just leave her...

He's right, though. Maybe if I leave her alone, Pitch'll try to track me instead and he'll forget about her. I hope he will. However, Elsa isn't someone you just forget... I know I'll never forget her for as long as I live, and seeing as I'm immortal, that's a pretty long time.

I fly back up to her room, feeling empty inside. I walk over to her bed and gaze down at her. For the first time since she fell into sleep, she looks peaceful. I frown. I can't leave her. I don't want to. She's the first person I've talked to since waking up, and I know she'll be the only person I can relate to.

Hesitantly, I take her hand in mine. I feel the warmth spread through me instantly. The first time I felt that, I fell over the ledge in shock. I cringe at the memory, but them chuckle lightly. What a strange memory to have.

The door to her bedroom opens, and I pull my hand away. Anna walks into the room, her hair all over the place.

"Are you alright?" I ask her.

She yawns. "Yeah, just can't sleep. I keep worrying about her," she replies as she walks over to me. "Jack, who is it that's after her? And why?"

"Pitch Black," I tell her. "He's completely evil. He's been trying to get me on his side and use my powers for evil. But I kept on refusing. This is all my fault. I led Pitch to Elsa. I never realised he was watching me." I shudder at the thought. I look up at Anna. "I have to go. I can't stay here and put her, or any of you, in danger. Will you tell her I'm sorry?"

Anna looks at me in alarm. "What?" she demands. "Y– you're leaving? You can't do that! Elsa will be devastated. I know it's hard to tell, but she really likes you. I can tell– she's acting do different since she met you. Well, different after she realised she wasn't crazy." Anna glares at me. "You'll just break her heart."

The guilt rises inside of me, and I have to look away from Anna. Man, she sure can make someone feel awful about something. I shouldn't feel awful– after all, this is to protect her sister from harm. And she wants me to stay!? "Trust me, I know she likes me." I try to suppress a small smile, but fail. Anna's eyes brighten up when she sees my smile. It quickly fades. "But I can't let her get hurt."

"If you leave you'll be the one who'll be hurting her!" she says stubbornly. Her hands are clenched up into fists, and I realise how angry she is at me for needing to leave. I don't want to go, but I have to.

"Anna, I know that!" I reply angrily. "But if I stay she'll be in danger. You saw what Pitch did to her memory. What if he does something worse? If he can get into her mind, I don't want to even know the power he has now." The thought of Pitch being that powerful gives me chills. "I don't want to leave, but it's the only way that might stop her being in danger."

Anna's expression softens and I feel my anger ebbing away. "Sorry," she mumbles. "I've just never seen her so happy and outgoing. Before you came she never took a break from anything. She's finally allowing herself to forget her duties for once, and is starting to have fun. It's nice to see her smiling so much." She sighs and stares at the ground. "But I don't want her to be in danger. If this Pitch guy is following you, then maybe it's best you do leave."

I feel somewhat disappointed. I didn't want her to say that– I wanted her to convince me to stay. But I agree with her. "But, Jack?" she says before I can say anything. She looks up at me. "Please don't leave until after she wakes up. I can't break the news to her." She looks pleadingly at me.

"Fine," I reply quietly. "I'll stay until she wakes up." Already I'm dreading the moment she opens her eyes and I have to tell her I'm going away. And just after she kissed me. My shoulders sag, and I sit back into the chair feeling hopeless. Obviously, me and Elsa weren't meant to be anything. Not friends. Not a couple. Nothing. We're two sides of the same coin.

Anna heads back to the door, sensing that I need to be alone. She turns back to me just before she exits. "Merry Christmas, Jack."

"You too," I reply glumly. To me it doesn't feel like a very merry Christmas at all, more like a very depressing Christmas.

Anna exits, and I'm left sitting alone with Elsa still asleep. I wish it wasn't three days. I want to spend more time with her... I want to be with her all the time.

Now there's no point in telling her to not rush things. I'll be leaving as soon as I tell her when she's awake. I take her hand in mine again, wishing to just freeze time and stay with her forever without worrying about everything. Even just as a friend I'd like to have her around forever. She's my first friend, making her the most important thing in my life right now. She'll always be important to me though, I can tell.

I feel angry and I glare at the moon. This is all the Man in the Moon's fault! He created us all– and that includes Pitch! Why would he create someone so evil? Why would he make me immortal and make me like a girl who's mortal? I want to scream at the moon, and to say some things that aren't a very appropriate to him.

I just let out a frustrated groan and turn my head back to Elsa. Yesterday counted as the first day, today as the second, so that means she'll be waking tomorrow.

The thought of tomorrow makes me feel hollow. I don't want to go.

And then I see movement in the shadows. I jump to my feet, my skin crawling. I only know one person that can blend into the shadows like that: Pitch Black. I grasp my staff tightly, staring at the spot I saw movement at. Then, it shifts, and I swear I see the figure of a man, but then I blink and it's gone again. Or maybe he moved somewhere else.

My breathing becomes rapid. Pitch can be cruel and manipulative, and if he's here with me right now... I shudder at the thoughts.

"What's the matter, Jack?" comes his cruel voice from all around me. I search the room for any sigh of him, but it's too dark, and there's too many shadows where he can hide easily. "You look scared."

"Scared?" I spit with a mocking laugh. "Yeah, like I'd be scared of you. No one's been scared of you since the dark ages."

I hear Pitch snarl, and then he's standing in front of me. Surprised, I inch backwards. "You honestly believe that I'm not feared anymore? You honestly believe that these pathetic mortals have completely forgotten me and the fear I bestow upon them?" He laughs cruelly and it sends a shiver down my spine. His cold eyes bore into mine, but I refuse to look away. I don't want to look weak.

Pitch shakes his head. "No, Jack. People still fear me. A very small few people, however."

"And that's why you want me," I guess.

"You? No. I don't need you anymore, Jack." His eyes flicker to Elsa and my stomach twists. My grip on the staff tightens, and my knuckles bare white. "You see, it turns out you're not the only one with a great power. What's your friends name?"

"As if I'm going to tell you." I'm surprised by how calm I am, despite the fear that's eating me from the inside out. "What makes you think she'll join you?" I can't help but feel curious. Pitch sounds a little too confident for my liking.

"Mortals are easily manipulated," he replies. "Offer them riches and they crack. Offer them anything they want with a catch." He laughs again. "This ones mind is easy to get into."

"You haven't done anything to her, Pitch." I glare at him. "She's healing, and once she's healed, you better leave her alone... Or else." I realise how pathetic that threat is, but I'm not the best in conflict. But I'm determined to protect Elsa.

"I could leave her alone," Pitch says, "if you came to my side and helped me in bestowing fear and darkness back upon the world. Imagine a world, Jack, where you rule. You can have anything you want." He glances back to Elsa. "You can even have that girl."

I narrow my eyes at him. "I'm never going to join you, Pitch," I snap.

He smiles coldly at me. "Have it your way, Jack." He laughs, and then he disappears. My heart is thudding against my chest. My hands are shaking violently, and I lessen my grip on my staff.

This is not good.

I realise now how badly I need to leave, to distract Pitch, and protect Elsa. He's clearly interested in her, and that's not good at all.

I look back to Elsa.

Tomorrow couldn't come sooner, I find myself thinking. The sooner I get away, the sooner she'll be safe. Right now, that's the only thing I can wish for. I desperately hope she'll be okay.

VeryBerry96: Hell ya you did :D Yeah :/ I hate Pitch too... :| Ha, I can guess a few words you would want to write xD Thanks :D

Kagirinai-Eternal: Thank you! Ya, I was trying hard to include him without him being seen.. :L

ELLE555: Ha, ya... I decided it was time for a plot twist- and a dark one at that! I love writing bad things. I reckon if I ever write my own book, I'll be a mix of George R R Martin (A Game of Thrones author), and John Green. I'm not sure how I feel about that, but oh well :D It is super complicated and stupid tbh. I hate it. I wish it was different, but what can you do? Our government is *insert bad word here* and I hate this country way too much -_- Nah, it can't... *sigh* because it's our second language seeing as the British took over and forced us to speak English, but whatever. So, it's also an official language of our country :| Aha, well, Irish is a whole different language... (An bhfuil tú go maith?) Irish (Are you good?) Obviously English. :P There's a big difference, and our country is split into Gaeltacht areas too (which are Irish speaking parts). Our country's just one big joke, tbh. :L I've been to a few countries now which is great (Italy, France, England, Portugal, Spain..) and I have to say Spain and Italy are by far my most favourite. I went to France on my school tour, so I was with my school year, which was class :D I've never been to Switzerland. Right now we're getting bad storms and people are being evacuated from their houses if they live by the cost. I swear, it's awful. Like, aksjdhsa we've never had weather so bad. Last week we were on red alert because of the storms, and this week we're on orange (i think) alert. I want to move to America to work with Pixar/ Dreamworks animations :D It'd be awesome tbh :) Whoooo... This is a fairly long reply xD Oh, well :D Thank you:)

Atla-lok143: Thank you! :D

livelaughlovenarnia: *wipes forehead* whew. Thank god you're not xD Thank you!:)

Jelsa Fan: Thank you! :D You don't want to meet me! I'm a loser :L I'm a loser nerd with too many books, and spends way too much time on the internet :L Also: I fangirl a lot... Trust me.. You don't xD WHOO BOB :D

Smiley: I'M SORRY D: Don't cry! D: Well, you'll probably kill me for this chapter, actually.. BUT I AM SO SORRY D:Aha, thank you! :D *bows*

Jackelsa: wkjhskqws ya. I dunno, dreamworks is based for the little ones (but i reckon they target more teenagers, whatever xD), and fanfiction is based for people like us :D Ha, that'd be so cool, though :) Oh, no. I don't deserve a medal... :L But thank you! D:

Loraine109: Ya, i know! I like to do plot twists now and then- sorry xD Aw, man. That means a whole lot to me! Bless you :) asjdhkasjdh I can't stop fangirling! Tell your friends I said thank you if you have a chance :) Aha, that's awesome :D Thank you! :)

SiKiPrEcloSha: I don't know what insertidumbre means, I'm sorry :( But, thank you... I think xD Thanks for the review :)

I hope his POV was alright. I was likeskadasoifslif through writing it, and I'm fairly tired rn. :| School is starting on Tuesday and I have to study tomorrow because GOD DAMN I HATE/LOVE THAT IT'S MY LAST YEAR EVER IN SCHOOL. I hate it because of the amount of work we have to do and I love it because I hate school with a passion :D

Anyway, after Monday night I'll only be able to update once a week (sorry :( ) and my biggest fear is people getting impatient because of that and ya. But I need to study for my points, otherwise I won't be allowed to go to Dublin for College :( So, sorry if updating once a week is an inconvenience to ye, but my grades are way more important.

Anyway, please let me know what ye think! Did ye like the appearance of Pitch, or...? :) Let me know what ye thought of it anyway! :D

As always: thanks to my reviewers, followers and favouriters! :D It means a lot that ye like this story :)
