Enchanted 2: That Strange Guy

I wake up with Anna snoring beside me.

Sunlight is seeping through the closed curtains of the windows.

Then a knock on the door follows. That must be Louisa. I'm going to bet on it.

I slip from the bed quietly not wanting to wake up Anna. I try to arrange my hair with my hands while walking towards the door. When I opened the door, I am right. Louisa is standing there ready to rant me again with today's work. Guess, I won the bet huh (with myself).

She looks at me from head to foot. Probably checking out my still messy and nest-like hair (not very queen like) and I didn't even change into my nightgown because I already fell asleep instantly.

"are you still sleeping your highness? Did I disturb you?" she asks

"not really I was already awake when you knocked. Anyway if you are going to recite to me my today's work let's just meet at the dining hall. I'll just change and fix myself" I am going to close the door when she stops me

"hey wait! That's the reason why I am here. Continue sleeping because I have nothing to recite for today."

"what?"

" this is your rest day"

"but why?" I ask in disbelief

"ah it's because the duke of Wellington cancels his meeting with you today because he has urgent matters to do, fortunately, that's your only activity for today. I've already taken care the rest of your work your majesty" she smiles

"Louisa" I say

"yes your highness?"

"did I ever tell you that you are the best assistant I've ever met?"

She laughs "I believe you haven't"

I hold her hand "then you are! Thank you very much Louisa you don't know how much this means to me"

She smiles affectionately "I know, so go and enjoy the rest of your day"

I close the door with a huge smile on my face

A day with nothing to do. This is fantastic!

I walk towards my window and throw aside the curtains with both hands. The sun flashes me with its light and sometimes I feel like the warm is so foreign to me. I also open the windows and cold wind rushes in. Winter is really coming.

My eyes unconsciously falls on the ice skating rink and notices someone is at the rink. He looks very foreign to me and I've never seen him before. His clothing is also odd. I can't even identify what he is wearing aside from the brown tight pants. His upper clothing is somewhat blue in color and he is even barefooted while wandering around the skating rink. Doesn't he feel cold walking barefooted on the ice? He also has this stick curve at the end which is odd too. But the thing that really catches my attention is

His white hair

White hair that matches mine

No one in Arendelle has the same hair color like mine,well, except if you are elderly but from the looks even from afar he looks so young and I'll admit has good looks.

Whoa, Elsa this is like the first time you admire others with their good looks especially on an opposite gender!

But wait! The rink is not yet open for public at this hour. I'm going to scold the guards later for letting an outsider in.

"hey!" I wave at the stranger

He looks at me more likely in shock as his eyes are wide open(I wonder why). Wait do we also share the same eye color which is blue? I can't see clearly.

"who are you? The rink is not yet open for the public. Just go back in the afternoon" I shout at him

He just stood there looking at me like he just saw his worst nightmare

"hello, are you all right?" I shouted back

"Elsa?"

I turn to look at Anna who is also awake and yawning as she sit up

"what are you doing there? And why are you shouting?"

"there is an outsider at the rink-" I pause because when I turn back at the rink the white-haired guy was gone. Strange.

"what?" Anna frowns and walks towards me

"the guy was gone" I lean forward the windowsill trying to find that strange guy

"who?"

"are you sure you haven't seen this guy with white hair, wearing odd clothes and holding a stick?" I insist on the guards on the castle main gate "he is an outsider!"

"maybe you are just hallucinating elsa?" Anna says "are you really sure about this guy, maybe you are just dreaming, sleeptalking or something like that"

"I am sure of it Anna I am fully awake that time I even talked to Louisa before that! I'm not even talking in my sleep"

"how about sleepwalking?"

"Anna" I groan

"okay" Anna raises both of her hands in surrender "just asking"

"besides your highness, the gates are still closed that time so it is really impossible for an outsider to come in" one of the guards says

"see" Anna says "you know what let's just go to the garden and enjoy the sun that still shining up there because Mr. Sunshine will go away when the winter comes, let's go" she stirs me away

"yohoo Elsa still with me?" Anna waves her hand in front of my face "are you still listening to me?"

"huh? What?" I shake my head "I'm sorry I was just-"

"thinking about that strange guy with white hair?" she finishes for me

We are currently sitting on the garden and enjoying the view of different flowers planted around. Well, maybe not for me if my mind is wandering on someone elsejust like what Anna said.

"I am sure he is real Anna" I insist again. I just knew it.

"how can you be so sure about it when no one sees him" Anna crosses her arms and leans back on the chair

I sigh "I don't know, I just feel it" another sigh "wierd isn't it?"

Anna stares at me "well, if you keep insisting that he is real, then maybe he is"

"do you believe me?" my eyes lighten up

"what does he looks like again?"

I straighten myself "okay, he is wearing blue I just couldn't identify what it is because it's really a foreign clothes for me and tight brown pants. He also holding a stick that is curve at the end. He has this white hair like mine. He is young and good looking-"

"hold on" Anna raises her hand "what did you say?"

I frown "that he is young?"

"no, after that"

"oh" that's when it dawns upon me what I had just said

"really, elsa" Anna has this wicked smirk on her face and it scares me " now I am totally curious about this guy. You just complimented someone! Queen Elsa who does not bats an eye on boys and rarely becomes interested on them, not even on the kings and princes whom I introduced to you before. Now, I'm hearing compliments on a very strange guy that almost no one ever seen except you!"

"Anna it's not like that!" I retort

"Seriously, don't you think he's just a ghost?"

"you know what this is pointless!" I say exasperatedly

"pointless what?"

We turn our heads in the direction of the voice. Kristoff is standing there not from afar with Sven and Olaf on both sides.

Anna gasps "kristoff!" in an instant kristoff is being crashed by Anna's hug.

Kristoff laughs "easy there girl, you're too obvious that you miss me"

"well I do!" Anna says not breaking her hug

Kristoff together with Sven and Olaf visited his family, the trolls. He's gone for a week.

"don't we get a hug too?" Olaf says

"of course" Anna laughs and hugs Olaf not so tight. She even hug Sven.

"so it seems that you are having a talk here huh" Kristoff put his arm around Anna's waist.

"oh that it's just-"

"nothing important" I cut Anna and give her a look. It's not that I don't want to tell Kristoff. I just don't want to share it yet and let them think I'm delusional.

"yeah, not so important" Anna laughs then she looks at kristoff "so, how's the vacation with the trolls?"

Kristoff opens his mouth to say something but Olaf beats him to it

"it is amazing!" Olaf exclaims and clasps his stick hands together

Kristoff looks at me " your highness, would you mind if I borrow your sister for a moment"

I know they just want to have time together "okay, but be sure to bring her back to me all right?"

"Elsa!"

I laugh. "go, have fun but behave"

"elsa!" Another warning from Anna whose face is flaming red same with Kristoff.

"why, I'm just warning both of you"

"kristoff let's go" Anna drags Kristoff follow by Sven and Olaf who is starting to share his tale about his amazing vacation

Then they're gone. Sometimes I like this solitude because I feel relax by the quietness of being alone. I close my eyes just enjoying the sounds made by nature.

"okay, I'm going to test it again if she really sees me"

I frown still eyes close. That's definitely not a sound made by nature

Then I hear someone cleared his throat. It's a male voice

That's when I open my eyes. I yelp and scream in surprise when my eyes collided with something blue

And I realize that it's his eyes. Striking turquoise eyes.

I also realize that I was falling back together with my chair

"whoa!" he holds the backrest of the chair preventing me from hitting the ground"that was close"

Because he is holding my chair, I was sitting slanted to him. His face is dangerously close to mine.

I gape "you are real!" guess who is it. It is the white haired guy

"you could see me?" he asks in disbelief

I look down and to surprise me more, he is floating

Yes, floating, as in defying the earth's gravity. I let off another scream and yelp

"hey no-"

The next thing I knew, I am lying on the ground on the top of this strange guy. His arm is circling around my waist. My eyes widen and as fast as lightning I sat up just beside him

"oh my god! Are you all right?" I ask worriedly when I saw his eyes closed. He groans then opens his eyes. Here's again his striking turquoise eyes. He sits up slowly and I help him up.

His gaze falls on his arm I am holding. Then he stares at me.

"what?" I immediately pull away my hand

"first, you could see me, then I could touch you and vise versa, this..." -he shakes his head "this is just utterly surprising"

"you are really strange and weird. Of course I could see you I have eyes" I say

He smiles, a breathtaking smile. Honestly Elsa what's with you? "but not everyone with eyes could see me"

I am really confuse with what he is saying

"your highness!" two guards are running towards me

"that's the proof" he points towards the running guards

"what happened, your highness?" they both stop just in front of me, completely ignoring the guy sitting with me as if he is not there "we heard a scream nearby"

"huh?" my gaze goes back and forth to the strange guy then to the guards

The strange guy shrugs "told you, wait, watch" he touch the leg of one guard but his hand just pass by

"your highness?" one of the guards calls

"oh" I look up at them still in daze, then I shake my head "I-it's nothing, I-I just saw a frog and it surprised me that's why I scream and fell off from the chair, but no worries. I was not hurt"

"are you sure, don't you want us to call a doctor?"

"don't you think they're exaggerating?" the strange guy comments but I ignore it

"I'm absolutely all right, you may go now" I wave my hand dismissing them

"as you wish, your majesty" they bow at me and walk away

When they're gone I look at the guy in front of me who has this amuse look on his face "and now, who are you?"

He grins "Jack Frost, at your service m'lady"
