Eternal Snow
I got this idea from a song I heard on YouTube and it fit so perfectly with Elisa I knew I had to write a story for it. The story may not be the best but I thought it was worth writing. I do give the credit to the YouTube channel littleblossomMB for the lyrics I used this the first chapter. Check her video out she does a great job singing this song and translating it in English. If you let to hear the song original song its call New Future from the show Fullmoon wo sagashite, which is a great show with great songs, which the story is based on. I hope you enjoy it and please fill free to comment. Thanks
It was a nice winter evening, as Elisa and Matt made their way to the castle from the precinct. Matt was in a good mood like always, as for Elisa well that's a different story. Usually when Elisa goes to the castle, she was always happy. Getting a chance to see her friends always made her day. But not this night. She wasn't in the best mood since they left precinct. For you see the Captain informed the precinct about a special charity event for the men and women of the police force who lost their lives in the line of duty. To give back to the families who lost a loved one. Every thought it was a great idea, to help support those families who lost someone in the line of duty. The Captain also told them that each precient will have one person to represent them in a special performance. The performance varies from dancing, singing, acting, or any other type of performance he/she wish to do. 'They want to show a different side of the police force. To show people that were more than just uniforms wearing, gun wielding badasses, taking down bad guys left and right. There is more to us them the job itself.' The Captain said. Everyone laughed and when Matt asked who was going to represent the 23rd precinct Elisa couldn't believe the words that came out of her mouth.
"The person who is going to represent our precinct is our very own Elisa Maza." When she said her name out loud everyone just stared at Elisa. They were very shock to hear that she was chosen to represent them. They didn't even know she had a talent other than taking bad guys down.
Elisa was speechless; she could comprehend what just occurred. 'Out of everyone in the precinct why am I chosen?' She thought.
After a moment or two Elisa finally was able to speak, "Um… Captain, I think there is some sort of mistake. I can't be the one to represent us. I mean out of everyone here why did you choose me?" She knew that there are other cops here that could represent them perfectly.
The Captain shook her head, "There's no mistake here Elisa. And besides I didn't chose you, the host of the charity event did."
"Who's hosting the event?" She asked
"The event will hosted by David Xanatos at his castle next week." Elisa's mouth dropped. Not only did she have a week to figure out what to do as a performance, the host is just happened to be Xanatos; her not so favorite person in the world but the worst part was that the whole event is going to be at the castle. The castle where her friends are going to have a first row seat to…where Goliath will have a front row seat to. That alone made her tense up.
The Captain put a firm hand on her tensed shoulder, "Don't worry Elisa, you'll do just fine. We all have faith in you. Now, Xanatos wants you to go to his castle so you can get more details about what's going to happen next week. Matt why don't you go with here, for moral support."
Matt nodded, "Sure, no problem Cap. Let's go Elisa." When he saw Elisa wasn't moving, he grabbed her by the arm and led her out the door.
They reached the entrance of the Eyrie Building. They walked towards the elevator and it wasn't until the doors closed when Elisa finally let everything sink in.
"Man, I can't believe I'm doing this." Elisa said.
"Elisa, you should be honor. I mean you're going to represent us in the charity event. It will be your time to shine and show everyone what you can do." Matt tried to make this into a positive thing.
Elisa sighed, "I am honor to represent the precinct but I can't do this. Performing in front of people is hard. And I know Xanatos will find a way for the clan to see the performance too that that would mean I would do it in front of the clan…Goliath. It's going to be embarrassing."
Matt tried to reassure her, "Don't worry Elisa. Like the Captain said we all have faith in you. I know you will do an amazing job. Let's just hope that everything goes well after your talk with…" but was interrupted by Elisa's groan.
"God don't remind me who I have to talk too. Just promise me one thing." Matt gave Elisa a questioning look
"What?" He asked
Elisa took a deep breath, "Promise me that you won't tell the guys about the performance thing just yet."
'Why?" Matt didn't understand why she wants to keep this a secret.
"Because, I don't want them to what I'm doing. It's too embarrassing." Elisa said
"You shouldn't be embarrassed, whatever you chose to do for charity I'm sure they are going to love." She knew Matt was right but she still couldn't take the risk of the clan finding out about at least not yet anyways.
Matt was going to say more but the doors from the elevators opened. When they did Owen was there waiting for them.
"Ms. Maza, Mr. Bluestone good evening. Mr. Xanatos was expecting you. If you would just follow me." Owen began to walk away.
Matt gave Elisa a small smile before they followed Owen to see Xanatos. He led them to his office and when they entered sure enough Xanatos was sitting behind his desk typing away. When he heard the door open he looked up and smiled at them. Elisa gave him a small glare. 'He's lucky I don't kick his ass right here, right now.' She thought.
Xanatos walked up to them, "Ah Elisa, Matt nice to see you two. I assume that your Captain told about my charity party and what you're going to do." Xanatos smiled at Elisa on that last part.
Elisa folded her arms up to her chest, still glaring at Xanatos, "Look Xanatos as grateful as I am on what you're doing for the police force I'm not thrilled that you chose me to be a part of it. What possessed you to pick me out of everyone there? Is it some sort of sick joke for you or something?"
Xanatos shook his head, "Elisa, it's not joke and it's not to embarrass you in anyway. I picked you because I know that you have a very special talent that I think you should share with everyone. A talent like yours is very rare and it needs to be seen and heard."
Elisa lowered her guard a bit 'Maybe Xanatos isn't doing this for laughs after all.' She thought. But something was still bugging her. 'Wait what talent is he talking about?!'
As if Matt read her thoughts he asked, "Wait you said Elisa has a special talent, what is it and how do know?"
He smiled at the two of them, "Rather than tell you, why don't I just show you."
Elisa and Matt had a confused look at what he said. Soon enough Xanatos was at his desk typing a few keys on his computer. Then a screen started to lower itself from the ceiling. After a few moments of key strokes a video pop up and it was Elisa on top of the tower in the castle. The wind was blowing nicely through her long dark blue hair. She was looking at her watch and sighed.
"It looks like I got here a little too early. They're probably still in patrol. Great now what do I do?"She said. Trying to find of something to do to pass the time, she looked up at the night sky and smiled.
"Wow the moon looks so beautiful tonight." Whenever Elisa looked at the moon it made her feel at peace. She closed her eyes as she brought her hand together up to her chest and did something that even Matt never knew she would do in a million years. She began to sing,
Can you promise me,
That the one thing that won't change
Is the dream that I painted in my mind.
Looking in the mirror now, will I be the ideal me?
The one reflected in my eyes when I was young.
Hey... just look up,
And immerse yourself in the endless night sky,
Soon, soon you'll see and finally realize,
You have the potential to shine as bright
As the full moon, and without hesitation
Let's, sing a song.
Always and forever, I'll think of you, because you'll be with me in all that I do,
Day by day,
Live for tomorrow, it's your destiny,
Clutch your hopes and make your dreams reality-
Let's sing a song
As long as we're together, I can always overcome life's trials and tribulations,
More and more,
Closer and closer, I'll be near you, so take my hand and I'll say with a smile,
Many thanks for you!
Once she finished she took a nice deep breath, she opened her eyes and spotted the clan gliding towards the castle. "Singing, best way to pass time haha." She said. A few moments later the clan landed on the castle and she greeted them.
She walked up to Goliath and gave him a hug, "Hey Big Guy, welcome home."
He returned the hug, "It's a wonderful sight to see you here Elisa." He said while stroking her hair. The video stopped there. Matt and Elisa couldn't believe what they just saw. Elisa was speechless, 'I can't believe Xanatos filmed me singing. I didn't even know there were cameras there. I'm going to kill him for this.' Elisa then turned to her attention to Matt who was still in the state of shock. 'Oh man he probably thinks I suck and now he's going to make fun of me for it.' She thought. After for what seemed like forever, Matt finally spoke.
"Wow! Elisa…your…your voice is incredible. It's nothing I've ever heard before. No wonder Xanatos chose you. I can't even describe how beautiful your voice is." As soon as Elisa began to sing, Matt was blown away. Her voice emitted so much emotion and dept to it. Not many people are able to do that.
Elisa began to blush bright red, "You…you really think my voice is that good?"
"Good, it's great! No it's beyond great fantastic is more like it." Matt said with excitement in his voice.
Elisa face became even redder, "Um…thanks Matt."
Xanatos walked up to Elisa, "You see Elisa, that's why I chose you. You have a very special gift that can touch the hearts of everyone around you. You shouldn't be ashamed or even embarrassed about. You were blessed with something that many people would even dream about. So what do you say, would you do the performance?"
Elisa looked at both Matt and Xanatos. Looking at their faces, hearing the confidence in their voices that they had for her and how much they enjoyed hearing her sing she finally made her decision.
"Ok, I'll do it the performance." She said
Xanatos smiled, "Great I knew you would." He then walked back to his desk and pushed the intercom button, "Fox, honey can you come in please."
A few seconds later Fox walked into the office, "Ah Elisa, I assumed that you agreed do the performance."
She nodded, "Yeah, I guess I am."
Fox smiled, "Wonderful! I knew you would. Now if you come with me we'll find the perfect outfit for you to wear and what song you're going to see."
"Ok, Matt why don't you go see the guys, I don't you want to come with us to pick outfits. I'll meet there after we're done." Elisa said
"Aww, and I wanted help pick out the cuties outfit for you haha." They both laughed, "Maybe next time Matt." Elisa said.
"Come on Elisa, there's no time to waste."Fox grabbed her hand and lead her out the door. Matt follow suit as he headed out the door to meet the clan.
