Chapter 9: Storm
Winter Lovers
Elsa had disappeared. I hoped not for good. Nothing else was on my mind at this moment. Why had she run away from me? I loved her no matter how out of control she became. She was my one and only, my everything. I'm not trying to put things lightly. I'm dead serious. Nobody would ever be as important to me as she is. I had to find her where we could be one again. Everything about her drove me crazy and touched every place inside of me. Quite frankly, every day with her was like the first and I almost couldn't take it. I could feel her love through not only her touch, but her gaze. I could almost hear her thoughts, and see her dreams. I'm just deeply in love with her, and I would spend the rest of my spirit life tracking her down just to see her once again. Just to smell her skin again, taste her lips, hear her whispers in the night, to feel her hair fall over my body, and feel her nails drag over me. I wanted everything and more. Her powers made me love her even more whether they were in control or not. Every little thing about her amazed me to the point I thought I could truly die. However, none of this helped me find her.
I checked at the castle, her ice castle, but she was nowhere. Therefore, I told Anna what happened and we all searched together. The guardians helped me look high and low, but it was like she had truly disappeared off the face of the earth. Until a breeze came through while I was flying over the ocean to go to the next location to search. Something about the weather was no longer natural. My gaze turned as a large wave came up into the air out of nowhere before it came crashing down on me. All of the air was taken from my lungs before I went under the water. The only thing I could see was the shining sun as I slowly let the bubbles drift up from my mouth, waves continuing to crash down only pushing me deeper.
This couldn't be worse. Not only was I not able to find Elsa, but I was going to die now by drowning. My eyes went wide as I realized something. Ice began to appear in the water as magic jet out from my fingertips. My body became surrounded by the frozen liquid and the hunk of ice rose form the water. It didn't take long for the ice to melt under the sun. I burst form it and stared at the water. A feeling ran through my body to my core as I realized the pull that drew me to Elsa had returned. I spun around as that feeling grew stronger. As I moved fast my eyes landed on a huge tornado. Something about the chaotic weather was drawing me closer. My heart began to pound so hard I felt like I might explode.
It had to be Elsa causing this. The storm whisk up building after building, bring in more water. My eyes became glassy as I watched this madness. "Elsa!" It was too unnatural. The weather was perfect. It had to be her. I breathed out before jetting through the sky at the swirling doom ahead of me. I darted through to the inside. I looked around in the eye of the storm, trying to see if she was near. Everything in here was so calm. It remembered me completely of Elsa. I looked down to see that blonde hair flying around. She looked like a mad woman. There was something completely different about her. She Was no longer wearing blue, but green. Like she was a witch.
Slowly I flowed down behind her as she continued to swing her arms around in the air. A shaking hand reached out to her, but she twisted around glaring at me. My heart jumped into my throat at seeing such a gaze from her. The storm only got worse as we stood staring each other down. It began to hail as tornados continued to show up. I could even see the sea rise and crash angrily. This had to be Elsa's doing, but how? My gaze softened and she stepped back. When the wind began to pick up I got closer and pulled her into my arms. I had to move fast before she disappeared again.
My shirt got a wet feeling through it where she pressed her face. I never knew she was this upset, but why? My fingers slowly slid through her hair as we stood locked together. Things had been different with her since she died and became one of us. The others had to know something.
The weather began to calm as she pulled back, "did the moon ever speak to you?" My eyes went wide as I nodded to her. She gripped my shirt and pressed her face back into my chest. "Something is still wrong with me. My powers have increased. It isn't ice anymore, but every element or something…" She shook her head frustrated at the idea or possibility of such a thing. Caressing her face I pulled her closer, pressing her forehead to mine where she'd calm down. My body began to warm up as I held her to me. "I'm sorry I ran away."
All that escape me was a smirk as I picked her up. "The others might have more answers than me. I know Santa has helped me out a lot in the past." My feet left the ground as we began to fly off back to the North Pole. The weather seemed much calmer then it had before. This felt better though with her pressed into my chest as we drifted in the sky.
After what seemed like a lifetime, we returned to the snowy area. Letting her out of my arms I continued to hold on to her, holding her hand tightly. Everyone else looked over and Santa wore a smirk as his gaze ran over us. "I see you finally got your girl back." His eyes went wide as he came closer, "Elsa, you've been crying? What is wrong young one?" He lifted her chin to better view the puffy redness around her eyes. He cupped her cheeks and chuckled, "no wonder. You have been taken in by the moon dear. You are no long just Elsa, but somebody stronger. Come.." He nodded his head in the direction of the hidden chamber.
Santa smiled, "please reveal who the woman is that stands beside me." A blue light flashed around before random images of plants, water, and the earth appeared. After those few photos it showed Elsa, but then a voice erupted from the device. "Mother Nature, the one that can control all weather and keep a peace on this planet." Everyone froze as we listened to the response. Elsa wasn't just Elsa anymore, but Mother Nature? That would explain all of the weird things that had been happening, but she was always my Ice Queen. The woman that could freeze the world with me. Now she was stronger. We were no longer the same with our powers. My mouth became dry as I thought about the distance between us. She had her powers before she died, but I didn't. Everything had become so complicated so quickly. I wish I could turn back time where all of this didn't happen, where I didn't go and talk to her as a child. I closed my eyes tightly and shook my head as I thought back to the night I first met her. What if I hadn't done what I'd done? What if I took a different action that night? A chill ran through my core and everything became icy.
My mind became blank as I felt a wind whisk over my shoulders. When I opened my eyes I was floating outside a window I knew well, staring at a child that I love more than anyone. This couldn't be true. It had to all be a dream being here again when she was this age. My heart stopped as I watched ice burst through the room, covering her hands and face as tears leaked from her eyes. She looked so hurt. What I did last time was send her an owl as a greeting. Perhaps I should send her a different animal, or not greet her at all. Maybe that's why this happened, where I wouldn't greet her. I clenched my fist before pressing my hands to the glass. This time I sent her a rabbit. Something cute and completely harmless would be better than the animal of wisdom. Of course, if she was supposed to be Mother Nature she would become her no matter what. Even if I did things differently. I watched as she held the rabbit, almost like it was real. Last time all she did was watch the owl. This is different… Could just changing the animal change my future with her?
What is happening with Jack? Is he truly in the past, or having memories and changing what has happened. And what about Elsa being Mother Nature? Is this a good or bad thing? What is your opinion? I hope you all review and tell me your thoughts.
