~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Two weeks later (no visits from Jack Frost) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Elsa awoke to frantic pounding on the door.
"Yes, who is it?" Elsa called out,
"It's me, Anna. Elsa, there is a messenger from Corina that we need to meet with now. They insisted. Elsa? I'm worried, they seem really solemn and shaken. Elsa? Are you coming out? I know you don't normally come out but please come out. Elsa?" Anna started to walk away from the door, shoulders slumped, toward the large ball room when she heard a creak.
Elsa walked out of her room with a graceful air. Ignoring Anna, Elsa walked to the Ballroom and opened the doors.
"Hello," Elsa said to the dignitaries.
"Hello, my name is Rapunzel, Daughter of the Queen and King of Corona whose wedding your parents were supposed to attend."
"Supposed to attend?" Elsa inquired with a slight crack in her otherwise icy demeanor.
"Your parents, there was a storm. The ship sank," Rapunzel looked as if to cry when the man next to her, Flynn Rider, put his arm around her. Elsa felt a stab of wishing in her stomach which she promptly dismissed.
"We didn't find the bodies," Rapunzel finished.
Elsa, stared at Rapunzel. Feeling emotion coming on, Elsa quickly turned around and walked away while Anna burst into the room. Rapunzel quickly told Anna the story as Elsa retreated to her room. Just as Elsa reached her room, emotion burst from within Elsa as the sadness and loneliness overtook her. Sobs burst from her throat unannounced and would not go away. Elsa fell to the floor as ice moved from her body and covered her entire room. Elsa curled up against the wall when she heard a knock.
"Elsa, I know you're in there. Rapunzel is asking where you went. They said that they would like to stay for the funeral. Elsa, how are we going to do this? Elsa?" Anna asked with sadness seeping into each word.
"Anna, please go away. You are great at planning. Will you take care of this for me?" Elsa said with as little emotion as she could muster.
"Okay, bye" Anna replied. Elsa heard Anna's footsteps retreat down the hallway into her room. Once Anna's door was shut, Elsa attempted to open hers. To her dismay it wouldn't budge. Elsa pulled harder and harder while also using as much magic as she could bear before finally giving up. Turning around in hopes of falling asleep and finding out that this was all a very bad dream, Elsa found herself face to face with Jack Frost.
"You, where have you been?" Elsa said with as much force as she could muster.
"You missed me?" Jack said with a grin, "I wasn't sure if I should come back after you shot ice at me." Looking around Jack realized that Elsa was stuck in her room. "Elsa? Would you like to come with me so that I can help you learn to control your power?"
"I wish, but I can't think of anything right now!" Elsa cried at him.
"Why?" Jack asked with a worried look on his face as Elsa started to cry.
"My parents are dead! Dead and Gone…" Elsa screamed.
Jack felt for her and without thinking hugged her. Elsa, feeling comforted for the first time in a long time, held onto him and cried on his shoulder. Jack looked down at her head and felt something besides what he felt for the children he protected. He suddenly felt the need to do something more so he began to pat her back which seemed to calm Elsa down even more. Suddenly, Elsa looked up at him with her tears freezing on the ends of her eyelashes and kissed him on the lips.
