I see her: Elsa. Our eyes meet. She looked afraid. Why? Oh. She probably thought I want to kill her and her family.

I swoop towards her.

"Elsa! Get out of there!" Anna shrieks, noticing I'm headed straight for Elsa.

Elsa dodges into the denser part of the woods.

I growl in frustration. Couldn't something be easy for once?

Where is she!?

Then I hear hard breathing behind the tree I was next to. Ah-ha.

"Gotcha!" I crow, snatching her in my arms.

Elsa screams in suprise. I get airborne. She grips my neck, her eyes squeezed shut.

She doesn't really believe I'm going to hurt

She doesn't really believe I'm going to hurt...?

As soon as we reach my castle's throne room, I gently set her on my throne. Elsa shudders, still scared.

"Elsa?" I kneel down to look at her bowed face.

I take her hand, hoping she'll realize I don't intend on hurting her.

"Jack!" She gasps clutching my hand, looking up.

"Sorry, I scared you. I didn't intend for the nightmares to attack or hurt any of you." 

"Is Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf okay!?" Elsa looked around frantically.

"Yeah...it's just my nightmares sent them back to Arendelle..."

"What? Oh no, they don't know what happened to me! Anna will be so worried!"

"Uh...sorry? I didn't mean for this to happen."

"Why did you bring me here?"

"Curiosity?"

"Of what?"

"Of the reason why you're here. And what made you come."

"Well, I felt a need to come here. Like...I'm supposed to be here..."

"To what? Destroy me?"

"What!? No. Jack, of course not."

"It's okay, y'know. I know how fairy tales go. I'm the villain. I don't save the day, I don't change the world, and I don't get the girl."

Elsa looked so horrified at what I said. "Jack...I believe I'm meant to be here to help you."

Somehow my "Mother's" words echoed in my head.

"An act of true love will thaw a frozen heart."

Is Elsa truly meant to save me? But who'll save her, from me?
