Hi again! Here's chapter 2! I still don't own any of these characters, or the Frozen storyline. All rights to Disney and Dreamworks for their awesomeness.
Chapter 2
"Do you want to build a snowman?" my sister begs from the other side of the door.
"Go away Anna" I cry. It pains me to shut her out like this, I want to play too, but Papa says it's for the best. I hear her shuffle away sadly and I start to cry.
"Why so sad Snowflake?" I hear, feeling a cool breeze blow in from my window.
"Jack, I'm scared." I sob.
I suddenly feel Jack's arm around my shoulder, comforting me. "What's scaring you? Is it those pesky nightmares again?" he says.
I wipe away my tears and try to smile up at my guardian, "I'm scared that my powers will hurt my sister again if I can't control them. It makes me so sad to push her away, but it's for her own good." I can feel tears brimming in my eyes again and a sob choking its way up my throat.
"Hey, hey, don't cry," Jack whispers, wiping the tears off my face, "Tell you what, maybe I can help you learn more about your powers. Would that be good?" I nodded. "Well then, let's get started!"
For the next couple weeks Jack would come to my room every day to teach me more about my magic. Sometimes, when I knew my parents wouldn't check on me for a while, Jack would fly me above the castle so I could feel the wind and the sunshine again. It was amazing. "Jack, what if I accidently hit you with my powers? I don't want to hurt you either." I said one day while we practiced making snowballs.
"Don't worry about me Snowflake," He laughs, "I don't think I could get any more frozen than I already am."
I laugh, "So you wouldn't mind if I did this?" I whip a snowball from behind my back and throw it at Jack. It hits him right in the chest and makes him fall over. We both laugh.
"Oh it is on princess!" he shouts, summoning up another snowball. I dodge his first throw, but he gets me in the face with a second snowball. I gasped in surprise as I feel the cold shock of snow. I look at his mischievous grin and use my powers to form another snowball. Soon we are laughing and running around my room in a fierce snowball fight. When we're finally gasping for breath and our laughter subsides to giggling exhales, Jack and I flop down next to each other on a pile of snow.
"Wow Jack, that was really fun!" I gasp between breaths.
"Yeah" he sighs.
The next day, I waited eagerly for Jack to arrive. I sat by my windowsill looking to glimpse my guardian flying through the air. I soon became lost in thought and I didn't even think of my powers. The next thing I know, the whole windowsill is covered in ice. I jump back, recoiling my hands from the icy surface.
"Elsa?" I hear my father say behind me. I turn around to see him standing in my doorway, looking disappointed at my ice-covered window.
"I'm sorry papa!" I cry, "I just wasn't thinking. I didn't mean to freeze it…I…I…It was an accident!"
"It's alright Elsa," my father sighs, coming over to hug me, "I know you're trying to control it."
"But papa, what if I can't?"
My father thinks for a moment, "Perhaps we could get you some gloves to conceal it. Put the gloves over your hands so you don't feel it, and it won't show." I nod slowly in agreement.
By the time Jack arrived that day, my father was helping me slip the tiny white gloves over my fingers.
"The gloves will help," he says, "See? Conceal it…"
"Don't feel it." I add, and together we finish, "Don't let it show." Jack was disappointed by the gloves, and we spent most of the day discussing them or sitting in silence. Jack didn't push me to try my magic that day, and he left sooner than usual. I sat on my bed looking at the gloves when he was gone. They really do seem to help, so why do I feel like I have offended him in some way? Jack still continued to visit, but less frequently than before. Often we just went out flying instead of practicing magic; I loved the feeling of the fresh air streaming through my hair as Jack held my waist and Arendelle grew further and further away.
A few years later, the nightmares returned. "Hello Elsa, It's been a long time," a smooth, oily voice whispers.
"Pitch!" I gasp. I try to run away, but find my hands are chained so I can't move.
"Don't worry" Pitch cackles, "I'm not going to hurt you. I want to help you."
I pull at the chains and try to summon my powers, but I can't. "Let me go!" I shout.
Pitch laughs, an eerie laugh that echoes off the walls unsettlingly and makes me shiver in fright. "It's only a little nightmare princess, you'll wake up soon. It's so nice to see you've made a friend by the way. Jack Frost is it?" I try even harder to pull free, straining against the chains. How did Pitch know about Jack? Was he watching me? Pitch laughed again, "You can't win against me little princess. You're so weak, no match for fear. Are you hoping your guardian will save you? Well, let me tell you, he's no match for me either. Sure he can take out a few of my nightmares, but he doesn't stand a chance against fear itself. Oh, and one other thing before you go, I don't like having guardians around. You'll do well to get rid of him. You don't want to be my enemy." I woke up with a start, my blankets tangled around me and covered in frost. I couldn't sleep for the rest of the night.
Ooh, introducing some conflict! Tell me what you guys think on the reviews!
