Jack's PoV

My heart thudded and sputtered. She stood in front of me, tears pooling down her face. Her eyes had deep dark circles underneath them from lack of sleep. Her complexion was pale, and her extremely long hair unbrushed. She wore her only dress, but it was torn a little around the hem.

I felt terrible, I was supposed to protect her. Now she was reduced to this mess of a person. Her heart was broken, her mind addled. She just went along with whatever the witch said. She stared at me like I was a ghost. She thought I was dead. The old hag who controlled her was the most wicked evil person in the world. But my girl was now free.

Rapunzel looked at me, taking in my appearance. I looked worse than she did. My clothes were more tattered, my eyes dark. My hair was unruly, and I was probably covered in dirt. I collapsed on the floor in front of her. My shaking limbs, too weak to hold me gave out. I had been through Hell and back trying to get back to this girl.

I cried out, the bruises of beatings and my under-nourished muscles causing me immense pain. Not even my powers had saved me from what the witch had had under her sleeve. But I had escaped, I had brought down the witch and her ally, Pitch Black. I was finally back to her. After all this torture I could see her one last time.

Maybe that was selfish of me, she would have to watch me die. She would be hurting all over again. But I couldn't give up fighting for her. Jack Frost wouldn't give her up for anything. I laid there on the floor, and Rapunzel rushed to catch me.

"Jack!" She exclaimed, pulling me onto her lap. She hugged me, crying over me, clutching my dying body. "Jack, Jack, Jack, .... your alive" she chocked out. "Punz...ie" I whispered numbly, forcing the words out painfully. "your hurt" she said, her tears flowing into my wounds. My pain throbbed, but felt far away.

"Jack" she pleaded. "Ra.... pun.... zel" I croaked out. My eyes dropped shut and I felt hair wrap around my body. "Flower gleam and glow, let your power shine, make the clock reverse, bring back what once was mine, what once was mine". She sang this in her beautiful voice, the pain lessening with every beautiful note.

My heart evened out, and my breathing became easier. "Rapunzel, Rapunzel!" I shouted at the end happily. I stood up, my strength renewed. I pulled her up and the pain left me, but I didn't really care. I swung her around in a circle joyfully. "Jack" she breathed, and I wrapped her in a hug. I didn't let her move. I couldn't move, the feeling of joy replaced everything.

I was holding her in my arms. We would both live, together, reunited. I'd be with her, I'd protect her. I'd never let anyone touch her, she would be safe. I felt a tear from her eyes, and I pulled back. I reached my hand to her beautiful face. My thumb stroked away the tears from her eyes. "Rapunzel, I love you" I said quietly, softly. She looked at me, overjoyed. "I love you too" she whispered, throwing her arms around my neck.

She leaned in, and kissed me, and I kissed her back. And for that moment everything was perfect. And that moment never ended.
