Amie: No your idea wasn't horrible, it just that when I think of Jack becoming mortal, I think he will die as he is already dead.
Shimmer Shine: Yeah right, I guess that's true LOL.
Greek Wise Girl: I'm actually curious which fanfic you're thinking of.
Z: Yes I have read Frostbitten and it's like the greatest fanfic I have ever read! It is so awesome =)
bewhoyouareborntobe & TheForgottenDisneyPrincess: For answer to your question, see below.
Chapter 22: The Epilogue
Present Day (approx. 200 years later)
Jack was flying in the sky. He was heading back to Arendelle. He hadn't been there in a while. He had been busy with his guardian duties. He didn't land in the town just yet. He landed on a cliff overlooking the sea. There were some weathered stones here. Jack crossed to one and he stroked the name. The name of the grave said 'Leif'.
Even though this was his son's grave, he wasn't sad. Leif had a great life surrounded by children and love. Leif's rule was one of prosperity and wealth and was called, alongside his mother, one of the greatest rulers of Arendelle. He and Sanna eventually had four children together, three boys, Henrik, Gustaof and Matheu, and a little girl, Laila. She looked so much like Elsa. Every time Jack had looked at her, he would see Elsa. It would always make him tear up slightly. Anna always said she was identical to Elsa growing up.
Anna and Kristoff had a good life too. Elsa's death really shook Anna as much as did to Jack but Anna put on a brave face and continued onwards with her life. Jack was sad to see the pair of them go but he knew that it was their time. He did miss them a lot as well. But instead of being sad they had died, he celebrated their lives.
Jack moved on from their graves and he found one that he was all too familiar with. It was Elsa's stone. Jack knelt down in front of it and stared at it. Every day he missed her but it also got easier every day. Jack looked down at what he was holding. It was the amulet that he had worn during their time together in order for Jack to be seen. Upon Elsa's death, it no longer worked. Jack kept it as a reminder of their time together. Even though the amulet didn't work, somehow people still could see him.
When Elsa had died, Jack didn't know what to do. He had stayed in Arendelle for a bit but he knew for a time, he had to get out of there. He had gone back to the North Pole for a bit before he did a little bit of travelling before returning to his son. Jack closed his eyes and remembered what it was like when he journeyed back to the North Pole. He had wanted Manny to turn Elsa into an immortal so badly. He couldn't imagine life without her.
Jack flew as fast as he could back to the North Pole. He soon found North and the others there. It had been only a few days after Elsa's untimely death.
"Hey Jack," North said. "Been a while."
"What's wrong?" Tooth asked for she had seen Jack's tear streaked face and his messy clothes and knew that something was up.
"Elsa's gone," Jack said quietly.
"What?" they all said.
"She got sick and then sicker and then sicker," Jack's voice caught in his throat, he couldn't repeat it anymore but luckily they knew where this was heading.
"What can we do Jack?" North asked.
"You name it," Sandy said.
"Could Manny make her an immortal?" Jack asked.
They all looked at each other. North said he'd try but he wasn't hopeful. North then decided to go ask Manny. North came back shaking his head. He told Jack that Manny hadn't said anything. Jack thought that Manny would and that he would see Elsa again soon.
Manny never did respond to Jack's request. Jack had felt that Elsa was lost to him all over again. He never knew why Manny didn't make her an immortal but he slowly and very difficultly came to realise that he had to accept it.
Jack looked back at the grave. Every time he came here, he got lost in the memories. He remembered the time when they first met. She had screamed when she had first seen him. He had appeared so suddenly on her balcony that it shocked her so much. Jack had just been so amazed that someone could see him. He remembered their adventures together and seeing her ice palace for the first time. He had been so impressed with it. It had taken him so long to gain the courage to kiss her that night but he couldn't resist. She was just so perfect to him.
Jack didn't go straight to the town. Instead, he flew off towards North Mountain and was amazed, as ever, to see Elsa's ice palace still standing. He was still amazed with it as he was when he first saw it. He slid his hand up the staircase, feeling the familiar feeling of ice as he went. He entered the castle. It was still as perfect as it was when Elsa had used it. Leif had only been there a few times. There had been time when all three of them took trips to the ice palace. Leif had only been five when he first had gone. Jack still could remember his little face light up when he first had seen it. Elsa had laughed and then taken his hand and led him up the flight of ice stairs and then into the castle itself. It had been a fantastic day.
Jack sighed and headed down into the town square, in Arendelle, and was amazed to find it covered with snow. He grinned as several white headed children squealed when they saw him.
"Grandpa Jack!" they all yelled coming at him.
"Hey everybody," Jack said.
After Elsa's death the story of the Snow Queen and her husband Jack Frost became somewhat of a legend. Leif passed it down to his children and they passed it down to their children. Even though it had sort of cropped into a kind of legend among other people, in Jack's family they knew the truth. His family knew about the guardians and would wait for North to deliver Christmas presents or for Tooth to collect their baby teeth.
"Hey Jack!" said a familiar voice.
"Hey Olaf," Jack grinned.
Even though Elsa had been the original one to build him, somehow he had stayed around. Even Marshmallow had stuck around. Leif had continued to make sure that Olaf didn't melt and his descendants after that. It had seemed as if the powers to control ice and snow had continued down the line. Jack had always thought that the reason they had stayed was that somehow it was because of Elsa's children's magic that was keeping them alive.
"Play with us Grandpa," said a young girl with platinum blonde hair.
"Okay then," Jack smiled.
Jack caused it to snow even more and then he summoned a snowball. He aimed it directly at one kid who got a face full of snow.
"You're gonna get it now, Grandpa," the kid said.
A massive snowball fight then took place which reminded Jack of his carefree snowball fights with Elsa. Jack then saw the castle in the distance. It was a lot bigger than it was in his time. He excused himself and headed over. He hadn't been inside for ages. When he had entered, he noticed that it had been modernised but it still looked the same. Jack journeyed down the familiar hallways and came to a stop.
It was a portrait of his family. Elsa looked so young in it. She was dressed in her ice dress with a four year old Leif sitting on her lap. Next to her was Jack. Jack hardly recognised himself. Gone were his blue hoodie and brown pants that didn't have shoes. He was dressed in a high collar white navy outfit with a blue sash and the snowflake medallion that Elsa had made for their wedding day. He put a hand up to the painting and stroked it. He still could remember the day that this was made.
"Elsa I can't breathe," Jack complained.
"Well maybe if you wore these things more often, maybe you would get use to them," Elsa said.
"It's not my fault; I've never been royal before."
Elsa laughed. "I mean more often now. You only wear these things as events like balls and every time you do, you complain that it's either too hot or too stuffy or you can't breathe. Why do I even put up with you?"
"Because you love me," Jack smirked.
Elsa smiled. "Indeed I do."
Leif started squirming. He wasn't use to being this still for this long.
"Seriously how much longer is the painter going to be? I could have finished writing a book in the time it takes this guy to paint."
"Patience, Jack," Elsa said. "He is the best painter in Arendelle."
"Well he's still taking too long and poor Leif. He's trying to be so good too."
"I think this is more about you than Leif."
"No it's not!"
Elsa let out another laugh. "Yeah right Jack."
Jack could still hear her laughing. He did miss her so much. He headed back down to their old bedroom. The bedroom was no longer used. It was kept as a moment to the Snow Queen. He pushed open the door and looked around the room. It didn't look any different to when Elsa used it. He could practically see her on the bed, fixing her hair or reading a book.
"What are you looking at Jack?" Elsa was asking him.
She was lying on her bed reading a book about some dead guy. Jack was on the end of the bed staring at her.
"Nothing," Jack replied. "Just my beautiful wife."
Elsa let out a giggle and put the book aside. Jack moved forward and gave her a kiss.
"You know I thank every day that I decided to come to Arendelle all those years ago," Jack said.
"I do too, Jack," Elsa said giving him another kiss. "I do too."
Jack left before more tears came to his eyes. He headed back outside to where his great-something grandkids were. They were happily playing in the snow. Jack looked at them, lost in memories of his time at Arendelle. It had been such a great time.
"He looks just like you Leif when you were little," Jack said.
"Then he'll grow up to be the most handsome fella under the sun," Leif responded.
They were in the nursery and Jack and Leif were gazing over Leif's two month year old son Henrik. He was giggling and causing snowflakes to fall from the ceiling.
"Two magical boys?" Sanna shook her head. "How am I going to deal with the pair of you?"
"By doing what you always do, my love," Leif said giving her a kiss.
They all looked back at little Henrik who was now causing it to snow.
"I only wish Mama was here," Leif sighed. "She would hate to be missing her first grandchild."
"She would have been so proud," Jack said putting his arm on Leif's shoulder.
"I know she would have."
As Jack looked at them he remembered the promise that he had made to Elsa all those years ago. He would never break it. Not ever. He still owed it to her.
Living in Arendelle was the best time of his life but it wasn't over. He still had loved ones and they will continue to grow over the years. He had been alone before he met Elsa and now he would never be alone again. Yes, he will always miss Elsa. He still loved her so very much but instead of being sad, Jack decided that he will look back and remember their times together with a smile on his face and now Jack had a family to love as well. His family looked up to him with amazement and joy that always made Jack grin and swell up with love.
He felt a tugging on his arm. Jack looked down and saw one of his granddaughters looking up at him with her shining blue eyes.
"Grandpa Jack," she said. "Could you tell us the story about you and the Snow Queen again?"
"The Snow Queen, huh?" Jack said lifting her onto his knee. "Well it started about two hundred years ago and I was flying around Arendelle…."
THE END
A/N: OMG, I can't believe it's finished. I would just like to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who read this especially to those who reviewed and faved and followed. THANK YOU SO MUCH =) especially for your thoughts (they have helped). I'm actually quite sad that this story has come to an end. I enjoyed writing it. I know many of you wished Elsa to become immortal but I honestly don't like that idea that much but who knows, I may come around.
It may be the end of this story BUT IT MAY NOT BE OVER
bewhoyouareborntobe & TheForgottenDisneyPrincess have asked about a possible sequel and I'm seriously considering doing one. If I do one it will be more of a midquel though. It will be set during Leif's childhood and possibly teen years. It will have all the characters (So obviously Jack, Elsa, the Guardians, Anna, Kristoff, Josef, Helena, Heidi and Leif). It will have Hans as the main villain. Yes I am thinking that Hans will return (possibly also Fredrik, haven't yet decided).
So if you guys would like to see this PLEASE TELL ME. I would love to write it but I want to hear your thoughts. If you guys do want it, I will probably write it after my other stories are complete and possibly after my exams which end at the end of June. So it looks like it will be written in my winter holidays (yes it's nearly winter here, I cannot believe this).
So if you guys have any questions about this chapter, the sequel idea or in general feel free to PM me =).
If you want more Jelsa stories, feel free to head over to my page for others =)
THANK YOU once again, from The Atlantean.
