Guess who's back? :) Some stuff got cancelled and gave me an opportunity to post this. Looks like I will be able to post more often than I had feared I would be restricted to. Plus, I love to update this story. Thank you so much to all those who reviewed. Many of you have told me how much you love this story, and I want to ask your opinion. I plan on getting to the end of the movie Frozen (maybe with some parts from Rise of the Guardians, no spoilers), maybe adding an epilogue, and ending it there. What do you think? This will take about thirteen chapters if everything goes the way it should. Do you think I should do less? Or maybe more? Please tell me, I am not sure what to do. You can post via reviews, or there will be a poll open on my profile. Thank you and enjoy chapter 8!

Jack

Jack launched himself at the first man, while Elsa cornered the second. Crossbow arrows whizzed by both of them, but ice blasted them to the side. Both made sure not to hurt the men - neither wanted to hurt them the way Anna got hurt - but made sure the odds were ever in their favor. Jack was practically laughing. After facing down against the bogeyman, the creater of fear itself, he could best the men easily, without even trying. Elsa seemed to be having a hard time getting the upper hand though. The man she was fighting against was smirking. Jack stopped that with a quick blast to the stomach, before turning his attention back to the thug he was faced against. The quick distraction had given the man a chance to slice an arrow past his side. He grimaced, but continued with renewed strength. Finally, Elsa trapped her fighter on the balcony, while Jack got tired of playing and pinned the man to the wall with spikes of ice. He then ran to his Ice Queen's side.

Elsa took one look at him and gasped. "They got you!" He shrugged. "Doesn't hurt...much." She sighed. "Let me see." He showed her the wound, and she shook her head. "He barely grazed you, thank goodness. You're going to be fine." He smiled. She had a hint of exasperation in her voice. "You say that like it's a bad thing." She rolled her eyes. "Ok, the wound is bleeding profoundly and you will be dead in seconds. Happy?" He waited a few seconds, then shook his head. "Still alive." She smiled. "Good." They both stared at each other, until they heard voices from the stairs. She backed up, fear in her eyes.

"I can't let them catch me" she whispered, tears threatening to flow. Jack took one look at the young woman's tear stained face and said "I'll stay and distract them. You run." She shook her head. "All for one and one for all" she murmured, smiling slightly. That alone gave him the courage to go fight those men just to keep her safe, then go kick Pitch's butt for the nightmares he sent her, then after all that come back and protect her. What is going on? Why am I willing to do anything for a woman I just met? Does this mean...

The voices from the stairs burst in before he could finish the thought. The leader was cloaked in dark colors, with auburn hair that snaked down his face as sideburns. His face showed sympathy, but Jack saw the treachery and cunning behind the kind, caring front. "Queen Elsa!" he shouted. Don't become the monster they fear you are!" She paused, but that was enough for one of the men to lift the crossbow and point it at Elsa's heart. Jack saw red that day, throwing a bolt of pure ice at the bow. It tilted upward, crocheting off the walls until it flew off the balcony. Another raised the crossbow to the ceiling while Jack was distracted, aiming for the chandelier. His aim was true, and the icy ornament came crashing. Both backed away quickly, but Elsa tripped on a shared of ice that came off. Crashing to the ground, she fell unconscious.

Jack filled with fury. He went into full on battle mode, trapping men under ice bubbles three inches thick and pinning them to the wall like the first man. Finally, it was down to him and the leader, who Jack had learned had the name Hans. Hans grinned. "Everything is falling into place. Anna is dying, Elsa will soon die, and I shall claim the throne of Arendalle. You are a meer distraction and a soon to be dead one."

Blood roared in Jack's ears. No way would he ever let this filthy rag kill his Ice Queen. Despite the situation, he laughed. "You know what is wrong with you evil villains?" Hans cocked his head. "You talk too much." Hans' face filled with fury. "For that alone, I shall make your limited life miserable." "Try." "Watch me."

The two men clashed for a while. Each had their respective weapon and a vast knowledge of use for it. Each was trained to fight. Neither could beat the other. Jack could have escaped right there, but he would not leave Elsa. Finally, Hans began to waver. Jack used the opportunity to hit him with an enormous blast of ice. When Hans went down, he didn't even check if he was awake before he ran to Elsa's side immediately. "Wake up Ice Queen" he muttered desperately. "Wake up."

You think he would have learned. Hans had faked the faint and now snuck up behind Jack. The last thing he saw was the face of the one person who he knew he could always count on, always trust, and how helpless she was, before a sharp registered to the back of his head and darkness took over his vision.

And there we have it! Chapter 8 has been revealed! Chapter 9 will take a lot of editing, so it could come out anywhere from hours from now to tomorrow to Tuesday, so please be patient.

Peace out peeps,
