Jack's POV
I paced the floor nervously. Elsa had fainted once again. I don't understand why. I was just explaining why Elsa and I are only friends and BAM! Elsa just collapsed onto the floor.
"I have detected some unusual brain patterns" A doctor told Anna, who was being comforted by Kristoff. "She seems to be experiencing high levels of fear."
"Fear?" Anna asked. "We weren't doing anything scary."
"Perhaps, Elsa saw something, or was reminded of something that caused her fear" the doctor said. "However, I must admit it is quite peculiar that someone pass out from fear two days in a row."
"I understand" Anna replied. "Any idea when she might regain consciousness?"
"Really any time" the doctor explained. "Either when she begins to calm down, or gets so afraid she snaps back into reality."
Somehow, I knew it would be the second one, and I was proven right. About an hour later Elsa began shaking violently.
"Liar!" She screamed still shaking.
"Never… Anna!" Elsa screamed. It was terrifying. She shook some more, tears streaming down her perfect face.
"Jack might…" She started. "But I don't…"
Elsa trailed off again.
"STOP!" Elsa screamed loudly. She sat up panting, and slowly took in her surroundings.
Out of instinct I went over and comforted her, as I always did when she was a kid. However, this time it was different, very different. I couldn't put my finger on what made it this way.
My arm was around her, making us in a half hug. She sobbed uncontrollably.
"Elsa?" I asked gently. "Come on Snowflake."
I desired strongly for her to stop crying, stop looking sad. "Show me that perfect smile" I said. It felt like a strange thing to say. Maybe, because we just connected a day ago.
Elsa began laughing through her tears. "It has been awhile since I heard you say that" she said.
"Well clearly it still works" I said.
She laughed again, wiping off her tears.
The doctors shared confused looks, matched only by Elsa.
"They can't see me" I reminded her.
Elsa stood up, a little shaky. "I think I will go rest in my sleeping quarters" she explained.
"But my queen" a doctor started. "You are still very weak from passing out. It might be best to stay in a calming environment."
"No thank you" Elsa said politely. "I think my room shall do."
Anna, Kristoff, and I all followed.
"I would really rather be alone" she said.
I began to walk away with Anna and Kristoff, until I felt a gentle tap.
"If you want to come, you can" Elsa said softly, most likely so Anna and Kristoff wouldn't notice as they walked away.
I looked Elsa in the eyes, surprised by the offer.
"No pressure of course" she added quickly. I swear she began to turn an adorable shade of scarlet.
"Sure Snowflake" I replied.
We walked silently to her room. She began to analyze the it or something.
Finally, she picked up a newspaper and began reading.
"No" Elsa exclaimed with a gasp. "How do they know? They did it so fast."
"What are you talking about Snowflake?" I asked.
She handed me the newspaper, a note on the front.
For my favorite queen
"For my favorite queen?" I asked.
"Not that" Elsa explained. "The article."
I focused on a small article in the top right corner.
Is Queen Elsa Mentally Unstable?
By: Rita Skeeter
Our favorite Ice Queen, has been reported to be having fear attacks. Doctors report her brain waves have been unstable since the approximate age of 7. Many are beginning to believe that Elsa's powers have been playing with her mind. This could be tragic for the kingdom, having a queen who isn't all there.
"It is such a shame she still isn't in control?" Local baker, James Winfrey, voices.
"We need a queen that can lead us somewhere" An anonymous speaker announced. "Unfortunately, for this kingdom, we got Elsa."
Is this the start of a rebellion? If so, I believe it is with great reason. We all knew a monster could not possibly work out as a queen. More information will be released soon.
"You don't seriously buy this garbage?" I asked.
"Well everything they said is technically true" Elsa explained. "I have been having fear attacks. I have been having unusual brain patterns since I was seven, and I'm still not in complete control."
"Snowflake, they spun the truth" I said. "Elsa isn't all there. Lies, all of it."
"Jack, we have been talking for less than two days" Elsa pointed out. "You wouldn't know."
"You can't let them win!" I screamed.
"They already have" Elsa explained. "I think you should probably go."
"Elsa" I said softly.
"See you later Jack" Elsa replied.
Jack's POV
"I need to know what Elsa told you!" I screamed at Sandy.
He imitated locked lips.
"This is serious. Elsa had another fear attack" I explained. "I need to know her fear so I can help get rid of it."
"You really care about her" North said as he walked into the globe room.
Sandy put a sand image of me and Elsa above his head, holding hands.
"Oh" North said in surprise. "Maybe that is why Manny wanted you to go to her."
" Manny is the reason you sent me to Elsa?" I asked.
North nodded his head. "I never even thought of you two having a connection like this. It makes sense of course, your princess has grown up very well."
"She isn't my princess" I explained. "She is the princess, now queen."
"Jack you have been away too long" North commented "Elsa is very unstable at the moment. After what Sandy told me…"
"Sand told you!" I interrupted.
"Jack listen" North said calmly. "I have reason to to believe a dark magic is playing with Elsa's mind. Keep her happy, don't give her any reason to doubt."
"Doubt what?" I asked.
North did not answer, he just walked away with Sandy.
I flew back to Elsa in aggravation. She was sitting at her desk reading a book.
"What book are you reading Snowflake?" I asked, my previous aggression fading.
"Oh…" Elsa started, becoming aware of my presents. "Just studying."
I grabbed the book from her hands.
Fear: The Battle Within
"You're kidding right" I asked hardly believing it.
"I am just trying to understand what is happening to me" Elsa explained. "Now if you don't mind it is dinner time and I've already missed lunch."
"Wow, lunch must not be your favorite meal" I commented. "You have missed lunch twice in the time I have been here."
Elsa rolled her eyes heading towards the door.
"You know" I started. "It isn't very queen like to roll your eyes."
"And how would you know" Elsa questioned. "From you vast experience of being queen."
"Hey, I happen to know a lot about queens" I explained. "I mean who is more fun to prank than snobby queens who yell about people eating cake."
Elsa let out an unamused huff. "Not all queens are snobby, and I think it very stereotypical of you to say that" Elsa said. "Marie Antoine handled her kingdom starving, much different than most would. So if you are basing your queen comments on her, I feel entitled to inform
you this has no real value. For another thing, it has never been proven she actually said qu'ils mangent de la brioche, it may be nothing more than a myth. Finally, there is the fact Marie was later convicted of treason."
I chuckled. "Someone does their research" I said. "For the record I was only kidding, you are a great queen."
Elsa looked a bit taken back for a second. She just stood there lost in thought.
