Merida's warm soft and clasped the icy cold hand, littered with frost, the other was directing his wrist on the string.

"Ye cannae be ma husband if ye cannae shoo' an arrow." She giggled pecking his cheek. It was only an hour or so since he had proposed, and she had said yes. They were finally going to be together. Forever, nothing could tear them apart now. The winter spirit and the firey haired girl who wanted nothing than to be together. He groaned and looked over the arrows that littered the snow around them. Only one had come close to hitting the tree. He turned his head to her with a smirk, "Sure, just one more try! I swear I can do it." She slowly backed away and tightened the cloak around her shoulders, "Alrigh', alrigh'. I'll give ye one more shot."

His brow creased and he focused hard on the tree's bark, burning a hole in the very center of his target, just like she had told him to. His hand gently slid off the string and the arrow thudded into the tree. A perfect shot. "Ye did i'!" She jumped at him and kissed him firmly on the lips. He nuzzled into her grinning in pride; his cheeks were as flushed as they could possibly be.

"I knew I could. Now what's the bet I can beat you?" He teased, tucking her flame-like hair behind her ear carefully. "Nu-uh, no way, Skinny Boy. You cannae bea' me. Bu' I'll take ye up on tha' bet anyway. I reckon I coul' shoot the tree over there an' ye couldn'." Her hand panned out and pointed across the ice covered lake that separated the newly engaged couple.

"You're on, Princess. Ladies first." He bowed and swung his arm out, gesturing for her to take a shot. She giggled and pried her bow from his hands with one hand while the other yanked an arrow from her quiver at her waist. Her fingers gently brushed the grip he had given her not long ago. Their names carved into it. She set up her shot and of course the arrow flew into it's target perfectly. She smirked at the winter spirit and tugged out another arrow, passing it and her bow to him. "G'luck then, Frost." Their eyes met for a split second and both of their thoughts flittered back to that moment were they exchanged vows and promised themselves to each other. "I love you." The words fell from her lips. "I love you too." As soon as the words departed from his ice cold mouth he winked and she giggled. Their world was perfect in that moment as he carelessly fired an arrow.

That single arrow, so unimportant and worthless, landed in the very center of the ice and snow covered lake. She simply rolled her eyes and even more carelessly skipped out to retrieve it. "Be care-" The words barely left his lips before they were cut off with a loud cracking. The sound only meaning one thing.

Merdia turned just intime to see her beloved Jack before the ice collapsed beneath her and the freezing water gripped onto her dress and cloak. Sucking her into darkness and the pitch black waters that sealed her fate. She screamed out but only water filled her lungs, the arrow clasped in her small hand. Jack. Only bubbles left her lips. The water stabbed at her as her lungs filled with ice. I'll always love you. 

Jack ran across the splitting ice and her bow clattered against the ground as he helplessly splashed at the water calling out her name. He couldn't bear to lose her, the one good thing he had. He loved her with all his heart. But it was too late. She was sucked into a darkness that even he could not reach. The last breath of air had graced her lips and she would not see the glow of sun again. He would never see her flame of hair in the setting sun, like a blazing fire. He had lost her, his love, his wife.  They had only just been messing about, they had only just promised themselves to each other. They had only just realized that they were meant to be together. But she was gone now.
