Hi! So this is my first fanfic, and I'm hoping it's okay. I'll try to add more chapters quickly, (I'll probably get another one on tonight) but this is just the beginning of the Jelsa relationship.

Enjoy!


For the First Time in Forever, I Won't Be Alone

White is the color of snow, but when the sun rises the next morning after snowfall, the world is anything but white. Brilliant hues of pink, purple, and orange glimmer against the frost, and icicles sparkle like the many facets of a diamond. The sun's warm embrace turns the snow-covered rooftops into a magnificent shining sea of tangerine and lavender, and each powdered tree twinkles as if laced with silver fairy dust.

Jack couldn't help but be awed by the incredible sight of the Kingdom of Arendelle in its most beautiful part of winter. He laughed gleefully as he leapt nimbly from rooftop to rooftop, frost dancing from his fingertips to settle on windows in intricate patterns. One by one, children emerged from their houses wrapped in layers of warm clothing and shouted with joy upon seeing the wintery fantasy that spread before them. Jack slowed to watch as they began building snowmen and making snow angels, reveling in the pure fun of the snow. Every now and then, he would shoot a little magic towards a child, keeping their snowman from crumbling apart, or making their sled ride last just a little longer. Nothing could be better than this, Jack thought, conjuring up a snowman of his own. Of course, even as he skimmed among them happily, he couldn't shake the tiny, but ever-present, feeling of loneliness. None of the children could see him, because none of them believed in him. He had gotten used to this feeling over the years, but deep down, he wished that somehow, there could just be one person who could appreciate his gifts.

He watched the children play for just a little longer before raising his staff and springing into the air. He flitted over the powdery houses, skirting around the chimneys wafting hazy smoke, sending tiny snowflakes scattering with each gesture of his hand. He suddenly heard the sound of trumpets from the enormous castle ahead. What in the world? His interest piqued, he whizzed across the stone bridge towards the castle. As he approached, the gates swung open, and Jack landed nimbly through them as a well-dressed official exited quickly on a well-groomed horse. Jack watched as the man raised a sort of trumpet to his mouth and bellowed, "People of Arendelle! Rejoice, for Princess Elsa of Arendelle has been born!"

As a cheer began to emerge from all corners of the small town, Jack decided to get a look at the new princess. He flew up to a balcony at the top of the castle and unlatched the door. He tumbled into a warm, bright room painted with delicate flowers and geometric designs, garnished with cozy furniture and a large red carpet. An enormous fireplace held a cheery, crackling fire that spread light throughout the entire room.

Jack's attention was immediately brought to the white bassinet in the middle of the room when he heard the tiny, unmistakable sound of a baby's gurgling. He approached it slowly, worried that any hastened movement might chill the baby inside.

Jack had seen many babies before, but none compared to the beautiful infant nestled in the bassinet. Her skin was unbelievably pale for a child that had just been born and her cheeks seemed to have a rosy glow. Her startlingly blue eyes were wide open, taking in the tiny segment of the world that the constriction of the bassinet allowed, focusing in on Jack's equally pale face.

Can she see me? Jack curiously raised his hand and waved gently, smiling at her with perfectly white teeth.

He almost gasped when she smiled, laughed with a gurgling baby laugh, and reached towards his nose with her tiny outstretched fingers.

"You can see me!" He whispered excitedly, thrilled that this wonderful child somehow already believed in him.

"Hello, Elsa," He almost sang as he greeted her, overcome with joy from witnessing the miracle of this tiny, delicate human being. Elsa, he repeated silently. He gazed at her beautiful features, admiring each aspect of her innocence, when suddenly a tiny flurry of snowflakes wafted from the bassinet.

Jack immediately stepped away from the princess, panicked.

What did I do? He asked himself worriedly. Have I hurt her? I thought I had control!

He set down his staff on the floor, pushing it away with his foot, and once again slowly approached Elsa. But before he had reached it, he felt a sudden chill in the room and another scatter of snowflakes burst from the bassinet.

"Elsa?" He asked incredulously, rushing to peer down at the smiling baby below. He gently reached down and turned her tiny hand around, exposing the glittering frost that decorated her palm. Jack, sensitive to heat, had expected to feel some resistance from her body temperature but felt nothing, and realized with a start that it was because her skin was as cold as ice. He almost dropped her hand in surprise.

"Elsa, are you…" he paused, not daring to say the words aloud. "Are you like me?"

Hope swelled in his chest. Here was the very person he had dreamed about for what seemed to be forever. This infant could not only see him, but would eventually be able to appreciate and understand him. With her, he wouldn't be alone anymore.

Approaching footsteps roused Jack from his thoughts, but he didn't move from Elsa's side as the large white door swung open. Jack didn't worry about being seen by the two people who entered the room, but he took a small step backwards as they approached the princess. The less elegantly dressed woman (Jack assumed she must be the nursemaid) remained behind as the King of Arendelle stepped forward and looked upon his new daughter with such love that Jack couldn't help but smile.

"My dear Elsa," he began, reaching down to caress the perfect face. "I will never forget this day, the day that I first witnessed your impossible splendor. How could…"

He suddenly stopped, and Jack immediately tensed as he realized why. Elsa had sent another one of her flurries spiraling into the air, and it hadn't gone unnoticed by her father. Jack watched as her father, just as he had, reached for a tiny hand and studied it. "Cold as ice," he heard him whisper. He stood quickly and turned to the nursemaid. "Please give me a moment alone. Do not speak of anything you have seen to anyone."

"Yes, Your Majesty." She curtsied hastily and exited with a rather alarmed look upon her face.

Now seemingly alone, the king pulled a nearby chair to the bassinet and sat down with an ungraceful flop. He removed his crown, placing it on the floor beside him, and buried his face in his hands. "Oh, Elsa," he said sadly, shaking his head. "Why?"

What are you so upset about? Jack was almost a little offended by the king's reaction, but was suddenly overcome with panic as he imagined the reality of the reactions to Elsa's powers. These ignorant humans won't understand. They'll be afraid of her. And what if…what if they hurt her?

And in that moment Jack knew that he would rather die than see this girl hurt.

"Elsa," He said softly, gazing into the princess's wide, sapphire eyes, "I promise I'll protect you. I'll always be here for you. Whenever you need me, I'll be there, and I won't ever let anyone hurt you."

And once more, the dainty snowflakes swirled through the air.


Expect much more Jelsa in the future! I'm not sure if I really want to include the rest of the Guardians or not, so if anyone has any opinion then review please! Gracias!
