Jack's eyes shot opened when he heard a big bang.

A 5'5 (5 feet and 5 inch) girl with black shoulder length hair stood at the side of his bed. She looked down at him with a surprised expression.

"Oh I'm sorry if I've woke you up," she said, kneeling down to him, but Jack got up and moved away from her.

"Who are you?"  Jack asked almost fearfully.

"My name's Roxy," she said with a small smile. "Do you not remember your name?"

Jack shook his head, "I...I don't know, I don't remember anything."

"Hmm," Roxy nodded. "It'll be hard to know where you're from since you don't remember."

"Where did I come from?" Asked Jack.

"You mean where I've found you? You were in a racked carriage in the Willow forest, Jimmy and I found you when we went hunting."

Jack still had the confused look on. He still can't remember. "Who's Jimmy?"

"He'll be back soon," Roxy stood up and went over to a wooden table that had plates of food. "Are you hungry?"

Jack stood up carefully and went over to her. His stomach growled at the sight of the food. Roxy laughed and picked up a plate. She put four sliced of bread and meat on his plate.

Jack looked down at his plate, then up at her. Roxy smiled and gestured him to eat. Jack began stuffing food into his mouth.

"My, you really are hungry," said Roxy with a laugh.

Jack drank the water in his cup and ate another bread. He noticed that Roxy kept staring at him. "What?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Sorry, its just that I've never seen a young man with white hair before."

Jack didn't say anything as he just stared dumbfounded at her. Roxy took the small mirror and gave it to him.

Jack studied his reflection. Indeed, he had white hair and blue, snowflake mix eyes.

"How...?" He couldn't speak.

"I think it's because of your powers," said Roxy.

Jack looked at her confusingly. "Powers?"

Jack followed Roxy's gaze to the bed. There were frost on the bed sheets and on the side of the wall. How come he hadn't noticed?

Everyone had gathered around the morning fire, drinking tea while saying nothing.

Kristoff decided to end the tension. "What should we do now?"

Merida looked at him and said with boredom, "what can we do? We don't know where he is."

After the battle in Arden's place, they came to Samoa's place and told him what happen. Georgia ask them to stay but Kristoff said they had to keep going, they still need to look for Jack.

Maria looked at Merida with a glare. "But can we give up? No! We mustn't."

"Maria's right," said Crystal with a sigh. "Someone must have taken Jack to a place no will think to find him."

"And where is this particular place?" Asked Merida with a raised eyebrow.

"They might've took him to an island closest to here or..." Kristoff stopped to think.

No one talked for a whole minute until Georgia came.

"Will you guys be leaving now?" She asked sadly.

"Yes,"said Crystal and they all stood up. "Thank you Georgia for letting us stay here, but I'm afraid we have to go."

Georgia nodded and smiled sadly. "I understand and I do hope you'll find the person you're looking for."

"Thank you," said Maria, smiling at her.

Behind Georgia, came Derek.

"I'm coming with you guys," he said.

"Why?" Asked Crystal.

"Because I might be able to help."

"How can you help us?" Asked Merida with narrowed eyes.
There's something fishy about this guy, she thought.

"I know a tracker."

"A tracker?" Said Maria, then she beamed. "That's exactly what we need!"

Crystal frowned and looked at Derek who was smirking. "Fine, lead the way!"

Jack wore the white shirt Roxy had gave him. It was big but it was comfortable.

He realised that the window was being closed; he went over and removed the hook and pushed it opened. The light lit up the room and Jack could hear the sound of men and women, carriage being pulled by horses and many more.

He was awed struck by the beauty of the town and the big castle, just miles away.

Jack went out to the living room. The house was a simple house, with a kitchen, bathroom, and three rooms.

Roxy was sitting on a chair, looking at him. But Jack noticed she and him weren't the only ones in the room. There was a 6 foot tall guy standing on the side of the white wall, looking at him. He was in black pants, white shirt and no sleeves jacket and his sword was hanging on his belt. He had striking green eyes and long blond hair that hang on his left shoulder. Because of his good-looking features, people could easily mistaken him for a girl.

Roxy noticed the weird look Jack had on so she stood up to introduce the stranger.

"This is Jimmy " she said, gesturing for him to come out of the shadows. "He's the one who took you out of the wrecked carriage when we found you."

Jimmy came over to Roxy's side and watched as Jack stood up straight, not knowing what to do.
Jack was feeling a little bit threatened by the guy's hard stare.
He wanted Roxy to end the tension but she did say anything, she just let Jimmy study Jack.

After a long minute, Jimmy's hard gaze broke into a bright look.

"No need to be that tense, I mean no harm," Jimmy said. "How you feeling?"

Jack nodded, "Quite well, although I don't remember anything yet."

"Oh I'm sure your memories will come back soon."

Roxy walked to the doorway and grabbed her basket."I'm adding out to get some vegetables. Do you wanna come, Jake?"

Jack looked at her confusingly, "Jake?"

"Its what I decided to call you since we don't know your name."

Jack nodded approvingly, "Yeah, Jake's better."

He followed Roxy and Jimmy outside. Jimmy looked around and noticed they were living on a hill. He followed them to the edge where they could see below. Below them was the big town. He could see the ships on the sea and many things.

"Jake," said Jimmy, putting an hand on his shoulder. "Welcome to Arendalle!"
