This is the longest I've taken to update this story. Sorry about that. Anyways...
Thank you for all the follows, favorites and reviews! It really makes my day to check my email and see all the feedback! Thank you all so much for keeping this story going!
I feel like the last chapter is where this story really started. I mean, the first 4 chapters were necessary, but I think that they were just to build up anticipation. Now that this story is really going, I can't wait!
Sorry for the short chapter, I promise that I will update soon. :)
Chapter 6 - Tears
Elsa snuggled into her pillow, breathing in what she could only describe as a wintry vanilla peppermint scent. Scrunching up her face, Elsa stretched out her arms and legs.
Except something was blocking her. Opening her eyes, Elsa was immediately confronted with a dark blue hoodie. It was then she noticed that the sweater had its arms around her. And the contents of the sweater happened to be the one and only Jack Frost.
Houston, we've got a problem.
Jack was having a wonderful dream. He was surrounded by his family, and his father was ruffling Jack's dark brown hair. Emma was laughing and his mother was smiling, eyes full of love. They all came together in a hug, and it was then that Jack noticed his family had morphed into one person, a person with a head full of platinum blonde hair. Jack caught a glimpse of a single cerulean eye... then a pained screech reached his ears.
"Ughaghukahmagishack!"
Instinctively, Jack pulled his arms to his chest, effectively squeezing whatever he was holding. Opening his eyes, Jack was met with a wide eyed Elsa.
"Well hello there, your highness."
Pushing her way out of Jack's arms, Elsa stood up and shook her head, spraying sand everywhere. Jack also slowly got up, deciding not to acknowledge the intimate position they had been in.
"So… uh… how are you Jack?" asked a very flustered Elsa.
Evidently she decided that temporary memory loss was a good option as well.
"Well, lets see. I haven't eaten in probably over twelve hours, I uh, I think I got a crick in my neck, we are stuck on an island, but we're still alive. So I'm doing great, how about you?"
Elsa huffed as Jack presented his signature cocky grin.
"Just wonderful." The girl sighed, crossing her arms and staring up at the sun. "Let's go find some shade, shall we?"
After a few minutes, the two teenagers eventually found suitable shade underneath a large tree. Sitting down, they leaned against the large trunk and sighed.
Jack looked at Elsa expectantly, but all she did was stare into the distance, emotionless.
"What, no epic plan of escape?"
Looking down, Elsa slowly turned to Jack, her head hanging.
"Jack, I don't know what happened to Anna. I don't even know if she's okay. All those people that we met the other day? They could be gone. What if we're the only ones who made it? Anna's all I have, I- I can't, I c-can't lose her!"
Wrapping his arm around the suddenly sobbing girl, Jack stroked Elsa's hair as she leaned into his shoulder, mumbling into his sweater. She eventually pushed her face into his chest, and at some point throughout the tears, Elsa ended up being cradled in Jack's lap, softly sniffling into his collar. Throughout all her sobbing, Jack whispered comforting words to her, and though Elsa couldn't comprehend all that was being said, she appreciated the action all the more.
It was only when Elsa felt something drip onto her forehead that she looked up. She came face to face with Jack, her nose nearly poking his mouth. The white haired boy had his eyes closed, and silent tears slid down his face and dripped off his chin. But even so he still whispered sweet words of comfort into the air, for Elsa's sake, and his own.
After a brief moment of hesitation, Elsa cupped Jack's cheek with her hand. Crystal eyes found each other and the two teens embraced, the flow of their tears returning with full power as they held each other.
Their cries echoed, and there was no one to hear them.
Well that got dark. But don't worry, "happiness can be found even in the darkest of times. If one only remembers to turn on the light." Anyways, I am so EXCITED for the upcoming chapters ooohhhhhhh. I want to say more but I can't spoil! Lets just say that you never know what the elements are going to throw at you. ;D But you won't know what I'm talking about for another few chapters, :(. But when it comes, it will be GLORIOUS.
Until next time!
