Ha.
I do not own Rise of the Guardians or Frozen
After Jack had bandaged up Elsa's hand and made sure she had no other cuts on her, he led her through the confusing place and into a vast open room where the unfamiliar faces were once again. Elsa wanted to take her time to look at the far off wall full of books, the four huge pillars that went all the way up or the big fireplace with a picture hanging above it. However, the only thing keeping Elsa from admiring the strange place were the strange people.
Elsa felt uneasy being alone in a confusing place with unfamiliar people.
"Okay," Jack started as he oh-so casually jumped from Elsa's side and towards the big windowsill next to the fire place, where he set his staff against the wall and dangled one leg off the ledge and the other brought up so he could rest his arm on his knee, "Shall we start off with introductions?"
"Elsa of Arendelle, not little girl. Strange she can see us," the big man in red said as he crossed his arms over his chest. "Why is that?"
Elsa wondered why she could see a man who is big beyond normal size; a flying fairy; a tiny man who was pure gold; a bunny that could talk and was way too tall; and a teenager who died three hundred years ago with white hair and had powers like her. Elsa must be dreaming to see all this and see two horses made out of sand that almost killed her today. Elsa was hoping she was dreaming, or she must be going insane after being cooped up in her room for so long.
Elsa took a second to realize they were waiting for her to answer. Taking a deep breath Elsa finally answered, "I-I guess it's because after being alone for so long, I just wanted to meet someone just like me. When Jack appeared, I-I guess I would believe anything I see." Elsa was silent for a second before speaking again, "Am I dreaming?"
"No, Princess, you're fully awake," Jack called from his seat by the window.
"Let me introduce," the big man in red said as he pointed to himself. "I am Santa Clause, but call me North. He—" North pointed to the big bunny leaning against a pillar—"is Easter bunny." The Easter bunny gave Elsa an acknowledgement nod. "This is Tooth fairy," North said pointing to the flying fairy next to him. "And he is—" North looked around for a second before pointing to the gold man behind him fast asleep while floating in mid-air. "—Sand man. Sandy wake up!" Startled by North's yell, Sandy landed on his feet and opened his eyes slowly. His gold eyes met Elsa's and waved, giving a warm smile.
Elsa stood in silence for a while as she took in the fact that she met Santa Clause, the tooth fairy, the Easter bunny, and the sand man. Elsa knew she had lost all sanity.
"Hello, Elsa." The tooth fairy was suddenly in her face. She smiled happily as she looked at the confused blond. "I'm the tooth fairy, but you can call me Tooth." Elsa slowly nodded. "I've heard a lot about you and your teeth!" The fairy said in excitement, causing Elsa to slightly tilt her head to the side in even more confusion. "When I collected your teeth, they were as bright and white as Jack's, like snow. May I?" Before Elsa could do or say anything, Tooth was already opening her mouth to look at her teeth. "They're beautiful," Tooth said after taking a quick look and removing her hands from Elsa's mouth. "Just like before." Tooth smiled before returning back to North's side. The little fairies that looked exactly like Tooth, though, continued to swarm around Elsa staring at her in awe. Tooth cleared her throat. "Ladies," she said, and the little fairies flew back to Tooth's side.
"Now why exactly did you bring her here, Jack?" the Easter bunny—with an Australian accent—asked.
"Because when I got back to the castle there were Nightmares."
All their attentions were now turned on Jack. Elsa wasn't sure what was going on, but she was glad they weren't focused on her anymore.
"Nightmares?" North asked sounding a bit alarmed. Jack nodded. "Okay, Guardian meeting." North turned back around and looked past Elsa. "Keep company for while," he said to whomever was behind her. Elsa turned around to see who North was talking to only to meet white fur. Elsa took several steps back to look up at the big creature she saw take Jack back at the castle. "Don't worry, yeti safe," North said from behind Elsa.
The brown and white yeti extended its hand. Elsa was cautious at first, but she slowly placed her hand in his. The yeti's hand was a lot bigger compared to her own. Elsa took one last look at North, who only smiled, before looking ahead and following the big yeti.
Elsa followed the yeti down the walkway passing the endless wall of books. Her fingers itched to browse through them and read every single one. Being alone for so long Elsa only had time to read every book possible. She knew a lot about the world outside her room.
To Elsa's relief they reached a flight of wooden stairs. The yeti began to descend with Elsa in tow. As she reached the second flight that led to the floor below, Elsa had barely recognized the huge globe with glowing lights on different countries in the center of the whole building. She wanted to ask what it was, but she was pretty sure the yeti wouldn't understand or answer her.
She had reached the floor to see a lot more yetis than Elsa had even imagined. They were working at different tables with all sorts of objects. From castles to objects with wings—it was all fascinating, but what was even more amazing was the fact that there was ice objects that was set as an example. Elsa assumed at least. There were things running across the floors—things flying in the air. It was all so magical for the young blond.
The yeti stopped in front of some small round leather like object that was being held up from the ground by two metal poles. The yeti stared at her for a second before speaking an unknown language to Elsa. She stared back in utter confusion. The brown and white yeti pointed to Elsa then towards the leather-like object.
"You want me to stand on it?" Elsa pointed at herself. The yeti nodded as he continued to point at it. Elsa slowly walked over to the object, picking up her dress in her hands, and stepped on top of the object. She felt herself slightly bounce as she was fully standing on top of it. She stared at the yeti. "Now what?" she asked as the yeti groaned and began to bounce up and down.
Elsa imitated his movements and began to bounce on the object. She was a bit frightened when she noticed she was going higher than a usual bounce, but it felt fun and exciting as she continued to bounce. Elsa was having fun for the first time in her life. This was something she never thought she would experience, but here she was, having the time of her life on this bouncing object.
Eventually Elsa grew tired as she came to a stop on the bouncing object. She stepped off the object, catching her breath, as she stared at the yeti holding a paint brush and plain white doll in its hands. Once again the yeti spoke in a foreign language Elsa knew nothing about, but from the way its voice rose towards the end, she sort of had an idea as to what the yeti was asking.
Elsa had all sorts of fun while the Guardian's had their meeting. She painted some dolls to look somewhat like her; she played with toys she had never seen before; and she threw a flying object into the air only to see it hit the wall and break. Thankfully the yeti's shrugged it off and handed her a new one—to which she threw a lot softer and watched it fly all around the globe.
Elsa began to lean over the rail as she stared up at all the flying objects in awe. She had all sorts of feelings course through her body. It was as though everything she wanted to feel when she was younger was hitting her like rocks. She was excited and happy, but Elsa was also scared. However, when Elsa would look down at her bare hands, she felt relieved when there was no ice under her fingertips. Today Elsa wasn't going to hold back any feelings. Today was the day she was going to let it all go.
She turned her gaze away from her hands and up to look at the flying objects, but Elsa met a pair of familiar blue gems. Elsa moved back in complete shock as she stared at an upside down Jack. "Princess," he said with his hand extended towards her. Elsa slowly reached for Jack's hand wanting to feel his cool hand send a warming sensation all throughout her body.
When Elsa's hand was in his, she felt herself being lifted off the ground. She looked at the giant globe and saw her own home with bits of bright lights covering it. She has to ask someone about the globe.
Her feet had touched the ground and Jack's hand had left hers. Elsa was in the same vast space she was before she went downstairs, and all the guardians were here as well. Tooth was talking to her fairies as though she were in a rush while Sandy and the Easter bunny were standing around.
North, on the other hand, was looking around. "Где находится Фил?" he said with a hint of annoyance as he tapped his foot against the wood floor.
Elsa tilted her head to the side. "Who is Phil?"
North stared at her in amazement while the rest stared in confusion. "Вы понимаете, что я говорю?" Elsa nodded. She understood what he was saying. North smiled happily. "This is wonderful! But you not from Russia," he said still smiling.
"Russia is practically our neighbor. My father used to bring me books from Russia when I was little. I would read them and I taught myself how to speak Russian from what I read."
"We talk later," North said as Phil, Elsa assumed, the same yeti that showed her around, came up to him. "For now, you go home. Jack, come back when finished."
Elsa slowly nodded trying to hide her disappointment. She figured she would leave eventually and face everyone in the castle. But what she wanted to know was how? Before Elsa could ask, the sound of wind being sucked in filled her ears as she turned her head to see the familiar spiraling object appear in mid-air. She felt Jack's cool hand grab hers. She watched him as he led her towards the spiraling object, but before she disappeared from the unknown building she looked at the guardians one last time. She quickly waved goodbye as she felt the nauseating dizziness and felt the cool snow touch her feet and trees surround her. Elsa was home.
"Okay, Princess." Elsa's eyes met Jack's. "Don't do anything stupid like hide in your room. Be sure to hang out with Anna." Elsa looked down at her hand that was still holding Jack's. Was this really happening? "Princess." Elsa looked back up at Jack. "Promise me you won't be afraid of yourself anymore."
Elsa nodded. "I promise," she whispered.
"Good," he said, a smile coming across his face. He let go of Elsa's hand and ruffled her hair a bit. Elsa sighed as she ran her fingers through her hair to try and somewhat fix it. "I'll see you around, Princess."
He was leaving. He was going to disappear and maybe never come back. The one person she got to know and develop feelings for was leaving.
"Jack," she called. He stopped and turned around to face her. Elsa ran up to him, and before he could say anything, Elsa wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him. He was tense at first, but he slowly began to relax. "Thank you," she said, not bothering with her rapidly beating heart.
She felt Jack wrap one arm around her waist. "It's what I do."
They separated from their hug. Elsa tried to keep her beat red face hidden, but she wanted to see Jack take his leave. He gave her one last salute and flew up into the air.
He disappeared from her sight.
Elsa sighed as she looked down at her necklace. She'll have to face her fears eventually, but taking one step at a time is necessary. Elsa turned around and began to walk home. She wasn't sure if she could move back to her old room just yet, but she was for sure moving back.
Elsa could feel the cold snow against her bare feet. She threw her shoes at the horses, but she forgot to get them back. Maybe getting her shoes back would be best, but maybe when she has actual shoes to wear when she goes. Elsa didn't know where her previous clothes went—they just vanished in thin air. Would anyone notice her sudden change in clothing—
The sound of low nickering filled her ears.
Cliffhanger!
Till next time~
