Okay. Serious talk right now. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK! REVIEW PEOPLE! *clears throat* Anyway, that was my two bits. Happy late Mothers' Day! Phone your mom. I'm serious. Either phone your mom before or after you read this chapter. Or just walk up to her and say you love her. It's important.
Chapter 3 Other Plans
Isla's POV
I'll never understand why Elsa refused to join Pitch. She could have gotten what I got; not that I'm going to give up my position if she asked. I can do things I've never done before! Sure I can fly and I have the same powers as Elsa, but I also have Pitch's powers, and I can change my hair colour and dress so I look exactly like Elsa! Jake can to the same as well. Another thing Jake and I can do is hear our other selves' thoughts; which also comes with knowing their feelings, likes, and dislikes of course. Elsa doesn't know how connected she is to me yet, but she will, eventually. I almost look forward to that day; when I can chat with Elsa whether she wants me to or not. The only thing that Jake and I have to ourselves, is our feelings toward one another. In the short time of knowing him, I can say only one thing; I know why Elsa loves Jack. And from the thoughts that Jake keeps sending me, I know he feels the same way about me.
Someone knocked on my door.
"Come in!" I called, without looking up from the notebook I used for a journal. Jake walked in and I immediately slammed my notebook shut.
"Well, well, what do we have here?" he asked as he reached for my notebook.
"Jake! Don't –" But it was too late; he was already flipping through it.
"'In the short time of knowing him I can only say one thing; I know why Elsa loves Jack. And by the thoughts that Jake keeps sending me, I know he feels the same way about me.'" Jake looked up from reading. "What is this?"
"It's my journal," I replied, reaching for the notebook. "Now give it back!"
Jake floated out of reach. "Your journal? Why would you keep one of those?"
I flew after him. "Because I wanted to have something to do when we're not training. Give it back!"
Jake handed the notebook back. "You know why Elsa loves Jack?" he asked with a grin. "And you think I feel the same way?" he flew closer. "I should be more careful of what I think."
I subconsciously tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear. "You mean you actually do?"
Jake pulled me close. "How could I not?" he asked before placing his lips against mine.
When we finally broke apart, I asked; "So, why are you here in the first place?"
"Oh! Thanks for reminding me. Pitch sent me. He said to tell you it's training time."
I sighed. More training. That's all we ever did. "Okay, let's go." Side by side, Jake and I flew to the training room, to prepare for Pitch's best plan yet.
Jack's POV
I grinned. Elsa was becoming a guardian. North was reading the words of the oath from his huge book, but my mind was drifting too much to pay any attention to the words. Hearing them reminded me of Jamie and the battle against Pitch. Thinking of Pitch reminded me of my other self. Pitch had called him Jake; a name almost like, but not quite. Just like Jake himself. He was almost like me, but the darkness that Pitch had put inside him was the only difference. I shuddered. Had I joined Pitch, that's exactly what I would've turned into.
I looked up as Elsa said; "I will," promising that she would look over the children forever.
"Then I am pleased to announce that you, Elsa of Arendelle, are and will be forever more, a guardian," North finished. The whole workshop erupted into cheers.
When they had died down, Tooth exclaimed; "Hey! We should call you the Snow Queen! Since you are the queen of ice and snow."
Elsa laughed. "Why not? Although I never liked the story as a child. I was always afraid I'd turn out like her." She sighed.
I placed a hand on her shoulder. "We're not saying you will. I think it would be ironic since you're married to me. The Snow Queen married to Jack Frost, kind of funny, isn't it?" Elsa grinned.
The guardians stared at us in surprise.
"You-you're married?" Bunny asked.
"Yes, why?" Elsa questioned.
"No reason," Tooth replied. "We're just surprised, that's all. How long have you been married?"
"About a year in Arendelle time," I answered.
"Oh, and speaking of Arendelle, we need to talk to you about something, Elsa," North said. I was surprised to see an expression on his face I hadn't seen in a long time; North was nervous.
"Okay, what is it?" Elsa asked.
North swallowed. Now I was confused. Was North afraid of Elsa?
"Now that you are a guardian, you are to protect the children at all times," North began. "And if Arendelle knows that you have to disappear for months on end, they will wonder what you are up to and why you don't age. That is why you can no longer be queen of Arendelle."
Elsa's eyes narrowed. I cringed. Elsa definitely did not like this idea.
Elsa's POV
But-but I was only just made queen!
I narrowed my eyes and saw Jack cringe. "I can no longer be, what?" I questioned. I didn't like this idea very much.
"You can no longer be queen of Arendelle because you have died and become immortal." North repeated. "Anna will be queen."
But Anna died too! "But Anna died too!" I voiced my thoughts. "Isn't she also immortal?"
"No," North answered. "That was a different type of magic. She's just a regular human."
"But – how am I supposed to tell her? 'Hey, Anna, how are you? Oh! By the way, I'm immortal so I can't be queen, and you have to be the next queen'? I don't think that would go over very well, and anyway, she's not old enough to be queen yet. She has to be twenty-one, and she's only nineteen!"
"But Kristoff's old enough," Jack pointed out.
I looked at him "He is?"
"Yes, he's as old as you. All he has to do is marry Anna."
"Speaking of Kristoff and Anna, you should probably get back to Arendelle," Bunny advised. "It's already been a few days there."
I nodded. "Alright, but what should I tell Anna?"
"Exactly what you said you would," North replied with a grin. "Only deliver it to her a bit gentler than that." He led Jack and I to a bookshelf that looked exactly like the one in our room in Arendelle. "I just finished this bookshelf. You should end up on your side of it. You know which book it is."
"Wait, wait! Hold the phone!" Bunny protested. "Since when was there a portal to Arendelle?" he turned to North. "You really need to tell us about these things."
Tooth and Sandy looked awkward. "Um, North did tell us about the portal, Bunny. You were decorating Easter eggs," Tooth explained.
Bunny glared daggers at North.
Jack cleared his throat. "Well, we should get going."
North nodded. "See you later!" he called as Jack and I walked through the portal and into our bedroom.
A few minutes later, Anna knocked on the door. "Elsa? Can I talk to you?" her voice was excited.
I opened the door. "Of course!"
Anna glanced at Jack. "Alone?"
Jack looked at her with mock hurt in his eyes. "You don't want me here? Fine! I'll go talk to Kristoff about manly things."
Once he left, I turned to my sister. "So, what do you want to talk about that Jack can't hear?" I asked.
"Kristoff asked me to marry him!" she exclaimed.
My eyes widened as I smiled. "He did? What did you say?"
"I said yes," Anna replied. She looked at me worriedly, obviously remembering the last time she had said yes to a proposal. "Will you give us your blessing?"
I pulled her into a hug. "Of course I will," I murmured. "At least you've known Kristoff for longer than one day!"
Anna laughed and we broke apart. "Thanks! I'll go tell Kristoff right now!" She turned to leave, but I caught her by the arm.
"Actually, Anna, we really need to talk about something."
