Elsa Snow nervously paced in the corner she had selected for herself. She knew quite well the mission her mother had given her, kill Jack Frost, heir of the Frost Industries. However, she was quite hesitant, uncertain of how to act in front of this... person. Should she be formal and polite, like her mother had taught her? Or should she attempt to be like her fun-loving carefree sister Anna? Questions upon questions filled Elsa's head. She poked her head around the corner and quickly spotted the snow white hair and crystal ice eyes of his, as he sipped at his wine. Then she heard a familiar voice, "Jack! There you are!" She watched as she saw her sister run over to Jack's table, in a rather stunning dark red dress, and take a seat across from him. She was speaking cheerily to him, and Elsa's anxiety only grew. What was her sister doing with him? Didn't she know he was dangerous? He was tied with her as one of the best assassins, despite how much his hair could and did stick out. Then she heard him laugh, and it was like ice crystals clanging, only a thousand times deeper. He broke out a wide grin,
"My dear Anna! I'm so glad that you made it!" Elsa couldn't believe she was seeing this. While Anna wasn't quite filled in on the Frost family, she knew her mother had ordered Anna to stay away from Frost. She didn't understand until she heard Anna's next words.
"I wouldn't miss our date for the world!" Elsa froze at her sister's words. When had Jack asked her out on a date? Normally Anna would have come home gushing about the cute boy, like she had with Hans Summers. Her parents had quickly separated the two of them as well since it was obvious that Hans was only after the Snow's family wealth. He was the twelfth kid in his family and not well favored among his brothers. No he was too weak, cowardly. And there was nothing he could do to convince them otherwise. She watched in silence as Jack grinned at her sister,
"Am I glad to hear that! I would have hated to been stood up!" Anna smiled at him, her green eyes shining. Elsa didn't know what to do. Somehow Anna had met Jack and he had asked her out on a date, of which she had agreed to. And then, at some other point, he had asked her out on a date on the exact same date. What was Frost planning? Elsa didn't know and she was extremely afraid. She chanted mentally conceal, don't feel, don't let them know, conceal, don't feel, don't let them show, conceal, don't feel, don't let them know. Often that chant was her only saving grace when put in stressful situations. Not one situation had she been this fearful. Then she heard something else that caught her attention,
"I hope you don't mind that I invited a few other ladies." Anna grinned bashfully pouting,
"I thought this was a date Jack!" He smiled at her,
"Don't worry Sweetheart. We'll get to spend plenty of time alone later." Elsa was terrified. Exactly what was Frost planning to do with her little sister? Elsa had sworn to protect her sister at all costs. Then she saw a beautiful brunette sweep into the room, dressed in a lovely dark blue dress that fit her figure perfectly and flowed slightly as she worked. She seated herself at Frost's table with ease and he grinned at her. "Elizabeth, how nice of you to arrive!" The woman put down her purse by her feet, before rolling her eyes,
"How many times must I tell you Frost? My name is Elisabeth, spelled with an s." Jack merely chuckled,
"And you know I will never pronounce your name correctly or call you by your preferred nickname Bethy." Anna squealed,
"Ooh! Ooh! Give me a nickname!" Jack smiled at her indulgently,
"If you want Sweetheart. Do you like the name Ann? Perhaps Fiery Heart? That one's pretty. Ooh, what about Ain?" Elsa couldn't believe the boldness of Frost. Much to her surprise and dismay Frost excused himself from his table...and started heading her way. She was on the edge of hyperventilating. He strode over to her and whispered in her ear, "Don't think I don't know what you're doing. Old man winter has kept me in the loop. I'd say you're misson got a bite harder." He then chuckled and gently grasped her arm, leading her to his table. Elsa fretted, what was he going to do?
Anna let out a gasp of surprise when she saw Jack guiding her sister to the table. She asked eagerly, "What is my sister doing here?" Jack simply laughed,
"Why, she is my other date my dearest!" Here Anna pouted, clearly disappointed that her older sister was here. They spent the next several minutes chatting, while Elsa worked very hard to keep her composure. Then to her surprise Jack stood up and smiled at them, before offering his hand to help the ladies up. Elsa didn't take it, although Elisabeth and Anna did. He then walked the ladies out and Elisabeth got into her own dark plum colored Corvette. Jack opened up a limo door, that had been waiting out front, for Anna. He then turned to Elsa and opened up a pretty ice blue Rolls Royce car. He winked at her, "We'll get plenty of alone time later Elsie. But for now it's your sister's turn." With that he shut the door and slipped into the dark blue limo Anna had gotten into.
