Chapter 01 – Prologue

The other two stepped out of the shadow to reveal themselves. Jack's eyes widened as he saw the reincarnations of Merida and Hiccup; He felt like his heart was filled with too much joy, "Merida… Hiccup."

"How the hell did he know our names?!" The Reincarnation of Hiccup said.

"Ugh, Punz, you don't have to ask that! He's obviously a robber!" Merida demanded, pointing to Jack.

Jack couldn't help but chuckle, "A robber?"

Rapunzel took her position and readied herself for striking her frying pan to Jack, "Whoa, Whoa Whoa! Wait, I am NOT a robber! I was just passing by and-…"

Jack paused as his eyes widened in shock and looked at Hiccup, Merida and Rapunzel.

"You… You can see me?!"

Rapunzel looked to the others, getting confused on what Jack said, "Who are you, and what do you want?"

Jack couldn't help but smile, after the death of Rapunzel, Hiccup and Merida, no one else saw him until Jamie, and now, the rebirth of the people he had a special bond with could see him again. It was too thrilling.

Jack clears his throat and looks at the three of them, "My name is Jack Frost… And…"

"Jack!"

Jamie runs into Rapunzel's room. He opens the door carelessly and looks at Jack and then to his sister, "He's not what you think, sis. He's…"

Jamie paused in shock, "Wait… You all… Could see him?!" Jamie pointed at the three of them, looking confused and surprised.

"About time, Jamie," Jack teased, feeling relieved to see the little boy.

The three looked at each other with confusion, "What the hell's going on here, already?!" Merida asked, looking at Jamie and returning her glare at Jack, "And how come you know him, too?!"

"Wait, if you can see him, then that means…" Jamie couldn't continue what he was saying. He was so surprised to know that his older sister and her friends, who were no longer children, could see the winter spirit.

Jack tried to calm down as a small smile was forming in his face, "You believe in me."

Merida, Rapunzel and Hiccup looked more confused than ever. Rapunzel was raising an eyebrow as she strengthens her grip on the frying pan she held. Jamie took a deep breath, "Oh, boy." He knew that there was gonna be a lot of explaining to do.

Jack rolled his eyes, "I told you, My name's Jack Frost. And yes, I'm THE Jack Frost."

It was hard to believe; Hiccup started to think that the man was really going insane, "You're… Who?!" Hiccup wanted to be sure of what he heard.

"Jack… Frost. You know, 'You don't want Jack Frost nipping your nose', 'Jack Frost might visit you and give you a Frost-Bite'… Yeah, I'm that guy," he teased himself as he tried to explain.

"I honestly don't know how that stuff about me was made, but trust me; your noses are safe with me, guys."

Rapunzel tried to put up on a tough face, but the joy and wonder in her eyes sparkled that it totally brushed it off, revealing her innocence. She slowly took small steps closer to Jack, checking him from head to toe. He was being drowned in Rapunzel's emerald eyes. He was sure that those were truly the hypnotic eyes he stared at 250 years ago.

Rapunzel put down the frying pan she held as she looked at Jack's captivating eyes. She then slowly places her hand on Jack's cheek; making her jump a bit of surprise. He was cold, as cold as the winter wind.

"Why're you… So cold?"

Jack gave her a smile, looking above at the ceiling. He blew a gentle breeze, softly, and all of a sudden, he was able to make it snow in the whole room.

Rapunzel's smile almost reached her ears of delight and amazement to what she was experiencing. Merida's eyes widened, alongside with Hiccup's jaw dropping of what they were seeing. Jamie untied Jack from his bind and handed his staff. The guardian of fun suddenly tapped the tip of his staff to the floor, making it turn into ice. Rapunzel gasped in surprise as she tried to skate around the whole room. She slipped and fell to the ground after every step she took, making her giggle.

She stood up, trying to keep her balance, "Hey, Jamie…"

Her little brother looked at her, realizing that Rapunzel was about to charge at him, to pull him in and make him ice skate together with her, as he was sitting at the edge of the bed.

"Uh-oh… Sis, you know… You can… Just…" Jamie tried to continue what he was saying, but Rapunzel seemed like she didn't care to listen, and continued to charge at him.

Rapunzel giggled as she ran closer to her brother, when she suddenly twisted her ankle and started to slip. She looked at her side and saw that she has reached the tip of the bed, which had a sharp edge. And Rapunzel knew that her head would eventually hit it. She gasped and closed her eyes, knowing that the impact of her fall would hurt. Rapunzel suddenly felt something cold carrying her. It felt like she was holding an ice cube, but for some reason, the cold temperature didn't affect her. Rapunzel opened her eyes to be surprised to see Jack carrying her in his arms like a Princess. They were floating above the room, about three feet above the ground, and Jack putting up a really worried face, as if he was about to die in shock. Rapunzel felt a blush crawl up on her cheek, and suddenly felt something different.

That moment felt like it has already happened before. The fall and how Jack was able to catch her just in time felt so familiar. It was like this was not the first time that that has happened. She looked into Jack's piercing-blue eyes and found them familiar. She has seen those eyes before, but she didn't know where and when.

"Hey, Punz… Are you okay?!" Jack asked, looking really worried. He landed gently to the ground, as he still carried Rapunzel in his arms.

Rapunzel was dumbfounded, "Oh, yeah, yeah! I'm fine."

"But," Rapunzel looked at her injured foot, "I Think I twisted my ankle."

Jack immediately stopped the snow and removed the ice on the floor. Rapunzel down gently as she limped walking to the bed and Jack helped her sit down.

Rapunzel took a look at it and sighed, "Yup… It's a sprain, alright!"

"Jamie, go get some ice," Merida told Rapunzel's little brother.

"You've got ice right here," Jack teased, pointing to himself as he put on a smirk.

The guardian of fun placed his cold hands on Rapunzel's twisted ankle, making it a cold compress. Rapunzel stared at his fluffy, white hair, as he rested his hand on her ankle. She was sure that she has seen him somewhere from before… It was at the tip of her tongue, but everytime she'd try to say it, it would slip right out of her head, once again.

Jack took a quick glance at Rapunzel and caught her staring back at him. It gave her a blush as she looks away hurriedly, and so did the Winter Sprite. Jack's face pulled up a small smile as Rapunzel couldn't even think straight.

It was like Jack was back to the good old days when he and Rapunzel were still in the tower, where he'd wait patiently for Rapunzel to finally agree to leave and that she would accept the truth whole-heartedly. How much he'd do just for Rapunzel to remember those times, but he decided to not mention anything to her, unless she brings that up, herself. After all, it looked like he would have such a great time with the reincarnation of Rapunzel.

It was just better this way.

…

Meanwhile, peace and silence ran through the streets as the people slept soundly. The Sandman has already visited them to have them asleep and has given them sweet dreams. The children held a grip on their stuff toys that was placed beside them in their sleep and put up a smile as they fly off to the world of dreams.

But, one wasn't as peaceful as them. Back in the deepest and darkest part of the forest, was the guardian of Fear. He roamed around endlessly, looking for something as he tried to be quiet as the night, to not let the man in the moon notice his plan right away. He looked at his left and right, and walked on the ground that had thick snow all over it.

"Where is it, already?" Pitch Black groaned, getting impatient of his search.

He walked endlessly and looked to his right. He gasped in fulfillment for finding what he was looking for this whole time. It was just a flat, plain ground… But, there, lied the grave of the terrible past of Rapunzel, Gothel. He rushed to it and conjured up his black sand.

Pitch concentrated and chanted a spell…

"Sand of the fearful and hopeless,

Bring back the lost and lifeless,

Let fear and darkness rule the heart,

And leave everything of yesterday.

Unite the life of the guardian and the dead,

If one fails, so be the end."

The black sand glowed as it slowly covered the ground of where Gothel's body was left. It whirled around strongly, that even Pitch couldn't hold his ground. The sand suddenly took form and busted into a strong Dark light. It made the ground shake and made the trees deader than ever. The fear and sadness and thirst for revenge could be felt in the air. It would've given people the chills up their spine of what kind of aura the place gave. The smoke from the explosion the black sand made slowly faded away. Pitch opened his eyes was able to put on an evil grin.

"Welcome back, Gothel," Pitch said in an evil tone.

Gothel slowly stood up and removed the hood she wore on her cloak. Her curly, white hair slowly turned back to Black, and her skin became smoother again, until she was able to look the way she did before Rapunzel's spell worn out. She was back with her young self again, and now was determined to take her revenge on Rapunzel and most especially, on Jack Frost.

"What do you want, you pathetic ghost?" Gothel said in an annoyed tone as she looked at Pitch.

Pitch was about to say something when he paused and decided to mention anything. He gave Gothel and evil grin, "Don't look so bored, witch. I know you want to take your revenge on Jack Frost and the young girl so badly."

Gothel crossed her arms,"So, what's your point?"

"Well, I'd also love to take my revenge on that insolent spirit… Which is why I came up with the idea for us to be allies."

Gothel laughed, "Why on earth would I even want to be allies with you? If you seek revenge, too, then seek it yourself. I don't need your help."

The witch turned her back as she walked away, until she suddenly felt pain on her arm. She saw a wound being carved in her arm as if she were being cut by mirrors. Her skin suddenly turned old and wrinkly once again, which made her panic, "W-what are you doing?!"

Gothel looked back at the king of Fear. He was cutting his own arm with his black sand as it formed into a sharp dagger.

"You can't possibly leave, witch."

Gothel panted in fright. She didn't know what was going on.

"You see, I was the one who gave you your life back. And, because of that, you and I are linked into ONE life. If one gets injured, so will the other. So, If I lose my life, so will you," Pitch explained to Gothel.

"Oh, here's the best part," Pitch added, "When you get injured or wounded, you return back to your old hag self. And what's far more better…"

"When you die, there is still a big possibility for me to live."

Gothel's eyes widened, "How dare you!"

"Can't blame me, I own your life," Pitch said as he healed the wound he made himself by letting his black sand wrap around it, "So, still have a plan on leaving, witch?"

Gothel took a deep breath as she felt her arm also getting healed. She glared at the King of Fear's eyes and put out an evil grin.

And as evil covered the part of the forest, the man in the moon looked down at them and knew that a new war was about to happen. For that night, was already the beginning of the King of Fear's revenge.

Heeeyy, guys! I'm back! I've been planning on publishing this for weeks, but then I got stuck on how to end the scene of the four and bring it up to Pitch all of a sudden, that's why this chapter seems a bit boring (Sorry!)... So, yeah, my "Writing-of-the-chapter" was really delayed... And as usual, yes, the narration. HAHAHAHA! I might be publishing the second chapter after a week or two. We'll see. HAHAHA! Don't forget to review! XD
