AN: Here is your second chapter for today! Read and Review!
Chapter Four:
"Jack!"
I stopped flying when I heard Elsa calling me from the castle's balcony. She was wearing a simple nightgown and shorts which is probably made out of ice too. I wiped my eyes and dropped down.
"Hey, what's up?" I casually asked, giving her a naughty grin. "You miss me?"
"Stop joking around!" She giggled, giving me a playful slap in the arms. "Do you want to stay in for the night?"
I looked around to see if Anna and Kristoff were playing a joke on me but it seemed they weren't around. I turned towards Elsa and the sudden realization of what's happening right now started to hit me in the face.
"Ah… I-I… Umm, Asdfghjkl." I started making weird gestures and gibberish sounds. This is bad. Get a hold of yourself, Jack!
"What are you saying?" Elsa narrowed her eyes, leaning towards me.
I sighed. And just nodded, tapping my nose. "Please take care of me."
"Of course!" She said, and pulled me inside. The doors of the balcony closed behind us. She started taking me to the top floor of the castle. Somewhere I haven't explored yet.
As we walked up the stairs, she started making some small talk. Is it me or she's a wee bit talkative than normal?
"Kristoff and Anna are going back tomorrow to the castle." She started, twirling her hair. "I'm thinking of joining with them."
I stopped walking. Elsa noticed and turned around to look at me. "Jack?"
I clenched my fists trying to keep it in. All these years I don't feel belonged in any way… The Guardians, the kids, and now them? They're just going to leave me just like that. I glared at Elsa. She took a step back, surprised by the sudden attitude I switched into. I turned around and ran back to the balcony.
"Jack! Wait!" I could hear Elsa shouting my name. I never looked back; I burst into the doors and kicked off in the air, flying away from the castle. A blizzard slowly started to form in the sky, a sign of my powers going berserk.
"Damn it!" I screamed in anger. "Why do people always leave me?!" Thunder roared and lightning flashed. I stared at the sky. Thunderstorm during a blizzard? I looked at my hands, wondering if I'm the one that did this.
"JACK, LOOK OUT!" Elsa screamed from the castle, her terrified eyes fixed on something behind me. Kristoff and Anna were with her, also looking terrified.
The lightning hit me before I can even see it. The burning sensation of electricity travelled down my whole body. And it hurts; it's like getting hit by a thousand of burning hammers all at once. I guess ice and electricity really isn't a good combination.
"Damn…" I whispered before falling down. The woods didn't take me in too nicely and pieces of hard wood hit me in almost every part of my body. It didn't take too long before I finally crashed to the floor.
I opened my eyes. The thunderstorm had passed, and no clouds were in the sky. The moon was full and I swear to my life that it's looking at me. I slowly lift my hand and raised my middle finger towards the Man in the Moon.
"JACK!"
My consciousness slowly drifted away.
. . .
Elsa's POV
I stayed in my bed the whole time after the incident with Jack's snowman. I heard Kristoff saying to Anna that he'll do the cleaning so she can speak with me.
A knock came on my door. "Elsa? It's me, Anna."
"Come in," I mumbled to my pillow. I heard Anna open the door and sat on my bed.
"Elsa, what's wrong?" She asked.
"You know what's wrong," I answered. "And remove that smirk on your face, Anna!"
Anna giggled and she began to lie down next to me. "It's about Jack, isn't it?"
"W-What do you mean?" I exclaimed rolling over towards her.
"Elsa, you're hopelessly in love with Jack."
My face flushed. Never in my whole life did I ever felt this embarrassed. I can feel my heart beating faster and faster. Oh my god. Ever since the frozen winter incident, Anna could read me like a book. She knows if I'm hiding something. Sometimes, she's the one who will learn what I feel first before I do. If she's saying that I'm in love…
"It must be true…" I whispered, blushing madly. Anna screamed in delight and held my hands.
"Oh my god, Elsa!" She cried, squeezing my hands excitedly. "Since when did you?"
"I don't know!" I honestly told her. "It must be love at first sight."
I looked at Anna helplessly. This is the first time I've felt something this amazing. And I don't know what to do with it.
"Elsa, listen to me!" Anna said, looking at my eyes. This is one of the look which meant that whatever she'll say, it's important for me to listen very well. "Don't ever let go of Jack."
"I won't ever let go of him, Anna." I whispered, looking away. "But what if… what if… what if he doesn't love me? What if I'm the only one who believes that we'll be together? What if he freaks out and leaves me?"
"I'm sure he won't." A voice suddenly said, surprising the two of us. Anna and I looked at the door and saw Kristoff leaning by the door. "Ah, sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt. But it's been an hour and a half ever since Jack left, so I was wondering if you guys have seen him."
I looked outside my window, worried that Jack has already left… Anna suddenly hugged me. It was a light yet warm hug, something Olaf and Penny will surely love.
"Listen to Kristoff," Anna smiled. "He was the one who first noticed that you two had something going on when we first saw the two of you."
Kristoff scratched his head, grinning at Anna. "Well, the way you talk and move around the room… How can I say this?" He said, snapping his fingers. "It's like you've known each other for so long. And I can also see that you trust him very well, you know… with the table thing, and the tray of foods."
I blushed. This isn't the first time Kristoff offered a few words of encouragement to me. He and Anna had been helping me with the kingdom, and surprisingly his help is even more better than what Anna does.
"Go get him outside, Elsa!" Anna suddenly said, pushing me out of my bed. "Be sure to tell him that we're going home tomorrow and he can come with us!"
"He has to." I giggled. "I'm not going to let him run away."
"That's the spirit!" Anna shouted behind my back as I passed by Kristoff giving him a quick 'thank you' before going down to the castle's open balcony.
Wait. If I'm going to see him, I need to look good for him. This simple dress won't simply do! I looked to see if anyone's here, and when it looks like I'm the only one around I casted some magic to change my outfit. From the simple dress I adorned earlier, I changed into a cute blue shorts and purple nightgown. There. I turned to the ice in front of me, looking at myself in the mirror.
I was surprised to see that The Snow Queen wasn't looking at me. I saw a different person on the mirror, not the Queen which is proud and mighty. But Elsa who's hair is undone and wearing simple clothes to capture the heart of the one she love. "I really have changed." I smiled, quietly thanking Anna with all my heart.
When I walked to the balcony, I can't see Jack anymore. It was really dark and windy so I'm having trouble seeing him. But he suddenly appeared flying slowly with a straight face looking over the woods.
"Jack!"
He stopped flying when he heard me calling him from the castle. He looked curiously at what I was wearing and gently rubbed his eyes, probably from exhaustion. I moved aside as he dropped in front of me.
"Hey, what's up?" He casually asked, giving me a naughty grin. "You miss me?"
Yes, I do. I thought to myself. "Stop joking around!" I giggled, giving him a playful slap in the arms. "Do you want to stay in for the night?" I asked, curling back a strand of hair behind my ear.
He looked around the room, peeking by the stairs as if looking for somebody. He finally turned towards me. His eyes started to widen.
"Ah… I-I… Umm, Asdfghjkl." Jack started making weird gestures and gibberish sounds. What's wrong with him? He's doing some weird stuff and I can't even make out what he's saying.
"What are you saying?" I narrowed my eyes, leaning towards him.
He finally calmed down, sighing. Jack nodded, tapping his nose. "Please take care of me."
"Of course!" I happily replied, and pulled him inside. The doors of the balcony closed behind us, probably from the wind. But it didn't matter. I started taking him to the top floor of the castle. A place he haven't explored yet.
As we walked up the stairs, I started making some small talk. I hope he doesn't mind me being talkative all of a sudden.
"Kristoff and Anna are going back tomorrow to the castle." I suddenly told him, remembering the subject. I twirled my hair and thought of how he would react to us inviting him to our castle. "I'm thinking of joining with them."
Jack stopped walking. I noticed it immediately and turned around to look at him. "Jack?"
He was clenching his fists trying to suppress what seems to be like anger. Did I say something to tick him off? Jack suddenly glared at me. I took a step back, surprised by the sudden attitude he switched into. He turned around and ran back to the balcony.
"Jack! Wait!" I shouted behind him, following after him. I was expecting him to look back but he didn't. He burst into the doors and kicked off in the air, flying away from the castle. "No! Don't leave me! Jack!"
A blizzard slowly started to form in the sky; it must've been Jack's doing. Kristoff and Anna rushed behind me with concerned faces.
"What happened?!" Kristoff asked, raising his voice in battle with the thunder that roared. "Is that a thunderstorm?"
"A thunderstorm during a blizzard?" Anna gasped, her eyes looking at Jack's floating body.
"I don't know!" I cried, terrified that any moment Jack will fly away. He was screaming in anger and I can't make out what he's saying. His powers are going berserk and I need to stop him from doing so.
All of a sudden, it came. "JACK, LOOK OUT!" I screamed at him, his angry eyes turning to look at me. Kristoff and Anna gasped at what they both saw. I want to jump and save him from what was about to happen but it was too late.
The lightning hit Jack before he could even see it. His whole body went into seizures as the electricity from the lightning travelled all over his body. I watched in horror as he started to fall down into the woods.
I jumped down from the balcony, eager to attend to him at once. Before hitting the ground, I created some ice skates and manipulated the ice around me to form a slide, letting me glide my way to the woods quickly.
Adrenaline was pumping in my whole body as I watched the trees I passed being frozen to the tip. I tried to calm down. Conceal. Don't feel. I repeated the mantra in my head, my eyes searching for Jack.
I quickly came to a halt when I saw him lying on the ground. He was a mess. Blood stained the pure white color of the snow around him. His clothes were burnt, and I can literally see smoke coming out of his body.
"No, please…" I trembled in fear, afraid that the only man I loved dying right in front of me. I slowly walked towards him when I saw him lift his hand. He raised his middle finger towards the sky, and I looked to see that it was the full moon.
My attention went back to him as I saw his hand falling to the ground. No! NO!
"JACK!" I screamed, rushing towards him.
