A Cold Love (a Jelsa fanfic)

Chapter 27

                                                 Jack's P.o.V

The man who calls himself Temp is about to shoot at North.

"NOO!!" I shout, putting myself in front of him.  The red substance hits me in the chest, near my heart.  I cry out before falling on the ground and falling unconscious.

I feel the familiar weight of my staff in my hand, there is a surge of power.  My eyes flutter open.  The brightness makes it hard to focus on something.  I finally can clearly see someone above me.

"Elsa?" I ask, my voice weak.

She starts crying, "Yes, yes it's me!" she exclaims throwing her arms around me.  "I was so scared." she whispers.  I don't want to hug her, much less talk to her, but her crying is getting obnoxious.  I wrap an arm around her.

"It's okay, I'm here, I'm fine." I say keeping my irritation from showing.  She finally lets go and helps me sit up, even though I don't need help.  

"What happened out here?" she asks.

"I'll explain when the others are here." North says.  He goes to the control panel and presses the button to call the others.  I stand with Elsa trying to help, she really needs to back up.  

"Are you okay?" she asks putting a hand on my shoulder.  Does she have to be so clingy?

"I'm fine." I say pushing her hand off.  I walk over to North.

"Do we have to call the others?  Why can't you just tell Elsa?" I ask irritated.

"You know the others need to know about this.  Temp is a threat to the children." he says.

"Well who cares?  He's new, he's not that big of a deal." I argue.

North looks at me. "Jack, go calm down.  Do whatever you need to." he says.  I roll my eyes and walk away.  I don't know what the big deal is.  I walk into the other room and fly out of the workshop.

After a minute or so of fast flying I slow down.  Why was I acting so strangely back there?  No one did anything, I just seemed to...

"Lose my temper." I say out loud. "Temper...Temp!" I shout.  I stand up and fly back to the workshop.  The Guardians and Elsa stand around North.  I fly in the window.

"Guys, I figured it out!" I exclaim walking over.

"Figured what out?" North asks.

"What that substance that Temp was shooting does.  It makes you irritable and gives you a short temper." I say.  I look over at Elsa.  "Which explains why I went off on you and left.  I'm sorry, Elsa.  And all of you too.  The substance struck close to my heart." I say.

Elsa gasps.

"What?" I ask.

"It struck near your heart?" she asks.

"Yeah, right here." I say pointing to the spot.

"Oh no, that's not good." she says, she gets a little paler, her eyes wide.

"Why not?" I ask.

"When I accidentally froze my sister I struck her heart with my powers.  It may just be temporary anger for most but if it hit near your heart or hit it..." she trails off.

"W-Well how will I be able to tell?" I ask.  

"I don't know how to get there but I know someone who does."

"Get where?"

"To the trolls."

"The what?"

"The trolls, they will know."  So trolls are the answer. 

"Do you think they'll be able to tell?  There's no ice." I ask.

"I'm pretty sure they can detect all magic." she replies.

"Well we should go soon, just in case." I say.  I turn to North.

"You two go, I'll start a plan with everyone." he says.  I nod and grab Elsa by the waist, I pull her close, she flinches.

"Sorry.  Where to?" I ask.

"Arendelle, Kristoff knows where they are." she replies.  We fly off to Arendelle, Elsa hanging on tight.  We get there in a matter of minutes.  We land in the courtyard and I let go of her.  She rushes to the castle and through the door. 

We find Anna and Kristoff in the study.

"Anna!  Kristoff!" she exclaims, rushing in.

They both turn, Anna's face lights up.  "Elsa!" she exclaims, running over.  "Are you healed?  Can you come back?" she asks.

"Not yet, I can just walk around for now.  But, Kristoff, we need to see your family.  Something's happened to Jack." she says.

"What happened?" he asks.

"A new bad guy has come, his name is Temp.  He hit me with his powers close to my heart." I explain.  I see Kristoff's face set. 

"I can't leave Anna alone but I can tell you where to go." he says.  He tells us the directions and what to do when we get there.  We thank them, say goodbye, and fly off.  We land in a clearing full of rocks.

"Hey, um, Kristoff sent us here.  He said you could help." I say.  The rocks start to roll over to us.  They unroll and faces appear.  The trolls.

"Kristoff sent you?" one of them asks.

"Yes, he told us to see Grand Pabbie." I reply.  Another troll rolls over to in front of us.

"I sense strange magic." he says.

"You must be Grand Pabbie." I say crouching down.

"Yes, yes.  Come here." he says holding out a hand.  I place mine in his.  "Jack, there is fire in your heart from Temp.  Most of the time people get hit in the arm or leg, those effects are temporary, but this is in your heart.  These effects may not go away." 

"Well, can you get it out?" I ask.

"I cannot.  You can, but it will not be easy." he says.

"What do I need to do?" I ask.

"You need to remove all heat from you.  It is the only way." he replies.

"How?  I can't be frozen, if I can't be frozen, how can I remove all heat from me?" I ask.  None of this is making sense.

"The answer will come in time, Jack.  But I can help.  An act of true love will thaw a frozen heart, while the opposite will happen for a burning heart."

"What if I can't get it out in time?" I ask.

"Then you will become one with the fire in the core of Earth.  Along with Temp." he says.  I notice the sky darkening.

"We should get back to the workshop." I say standing and turning to Elsa. "Thank you, for the help." I say to Grand Pabbie.

"Love will thaw." he says tucking in a ball, and rolling away.  I grab Elsa, shoot into the sky, and fly back to North's place.
