Chapter 9: Do you wanna build a snowman?
Elsa widened her eyes when she felt snow touching her feet and she graciously welcomed it. Now if people saw her like this with no toques, mittens or any of the winter clothing, they might think that she's shivering to death.
The truth is: the cold never bothered her.
After creating a grand staircase that is made out of ice (literally), she slammed her foot down on the snowy ground to create a giant snowflake. Using all of her strength, she lifted the snowflake to form a giant ice palace…
-The group-
Jack grunted at the unexpected shot that entered through his body so it forced him to fall on his knees. Flynn noticed this since he halted and gave an odd look at the boy who was clutching his chest as if he was in pain.
Because he was curious, Flynn walked towards him and knelt down, gently placing his hand on Jack's shoulder. Feeling the touch, Jack glanced up to see Flynn with a concerned look.
"You alright there?" Flynn asked, quietly.
Jack clenched his fist when he felt the same agony again so he bit his lip to stop himself from screaming. A small trail of blood trickled down his lower lip but as soon as the pain had started, it vanished leaving a breathless Jack.
"Y…Yeah, I'm fine."
But the shakiness in his voice told Flynn that he was not.
Jack stared at the ground, wondering what that pain was…
He flinched when he came to the conclusion of what he felt from that pain.
Fear.
But, the fear faded away just as the pain did. The fear was replaced by happiness but Jack wasn't sure if it was real happiness…
Using the staff as a support, Jack got himself up and started to walk to the group that was ahead of them.
"You know…I've been thinking…" Anna started. "We should still get to know one another." she replied, her hands being placed on Merida's and Rapunzel's shoulders.
Rapunzel squealed, a delight one. "I think that's a great idea! Okay I'll go! 7 AM, the usual morning lineup:
Start on the chores and sweep 'til the floor's all clean
Polish and wax, do laundry, and mop and shine up."
Rapunzel did movements to represent the sentences.
"Sweep again, and by then it's like 7:15
And so I'll read a book
Or maybe two or three
I'll add a few new paintings to my gallery
I'll play guitar and knit…"
"Great. They're singing." Flynn grunted as he suddenly started to walk slowly.
Jack smirked. "What? Can't handle the noise? Come on! I wanna see!"
Flynn groaned. "Aw come on!" he sighed when he saw Jack taking off, flying in mid-air.
"And I'll keep wonderin' and wonderin'
And wonderin' and wonderin'
When will my life begin?
And tomorrow night,
Lights will appear…"
"She doesn't get out too much, does she?" Merida asked, instantly feeling Jack gliding beside her.
"Nope."
Anna clapped when it was finished.
"Yeah beautiful. Encore…bravo…however you guys say it! Can we pick up the pace?" Flynn asked, annoyed.
He seriously doesn't want to listen another song or otherwise he will just leave the group.
"I've waited all my life," Anna began. "For the day when love appears.
Like a fairytale in days gone by
He will rescue me from my fears—"
"Stop, stop." Merida said, smirking playfully.
"Oh come on. I wanna sing!" Anna whined.
Merida laughed. "Alright. Just no romantic ones."
"Fine…" she scowled as she thought about a song. Her eyes lit up with excitement when she found one. "Oh! It's this one!"
"The party's on, it all comes down to this.
We're better together
The dark is gone, let's seal it with a kiss
And send it to never!"
Anna pulled Merida out of the group so that the two of them can dance. Rapunzel clapped, cheerfully but she quickly hushed Flynn who was about to protest.
"Like a fairytale that never ends
We let this dance begin!
Close your eyes, let's sail into the fun
A whole new adventure
Each and every you and I are one
One hundred percent sure!"
"Come on. Let's join." Rapunzel replied, eagerly dragging Flynn.
"Wait…but I don't dan—woah!" Flynn exclaimed as he got dragged from Rapunzel.
Jack laughed. "Now you do!"
Flynn glared at him before he got dragged further into the small crowd.
"Once again united 'round the globe
Let's all let it go
The fear's undone, we won the fight so
Everybody raise your hands sky high
Like your hearts that never heard of sorrow
Finally the stars are all alive
We can dance 'till dawn, 'cause you and I know
It's a whole new day tomorrow
Startin' with a magical tonight…"
The girls fell down on the ground, exhausted though they let out a giggle whereas Flynn crawled out of the small audience and back to the two boys.
"You don't dance, eh?" Jack's eyes were filled with amusement.
"Shut up, Frosty. I would like to see you dance." he muttered. "Aw my feet hurts." he moaned, rubbing his sore feet.
After the group settled down a bit, they started to walk once again going a bit further up the path while Jack absent-mindedly rubbed his chest since he felt a small pain inside though it wasn't a major one like before.
Merida suddenly paused, causing Jack to bump into her which made Flynn to snicker. He scowled before throwing snow at his face.
"What is it?"
"Shh. I think I hear…voices." Merida replied so she slowly got out her weapon and pulled back the string.
Slowly, the girl walked towards the location of where the source could be. They were currently at a spot where it had full of trees with frozen willows. The hanging branches glistened like beautiful lights.
The more they walked towards the voice, the more it became clearer.
"Yeah…it really is beautiful, isn't it? But it's so white. You know, how about a little color? Must we bleach about the joy out of it all? I'm thinking like maybe some crimson, chartreuse… "
Yeap: they definitely hear it.
Rapunzel stared at an object that was walking towards Jack. Jack noticed this so he gave a confused look.
"What?"
"Just turn around and don't freak out."
Slowly, Jack turned around only to be in the same position as Rapunzel. The others seemed to be in similar positions as them. It was a snowman…
Actually, a talking snowman.
"How 'bout yellow—no, not yellow. Yellow and snow? Brrr…no go."
Suddenly, the snowman walked right through Jack as if he was some type of an invisible wall. This earned baffled looks from the group so Jack turned away from the looks with his hood up and his hand stuffed in his pocket.
The snowman (who was unaware of what just happened) stopped to be in the middle of the befuddled group. It was then that he suddenly looked up at them.
"Am I right?"
The group tore the gazes away, only to have Anna scream which earned many winces. Terrified, she kicked the head sending it flying off his body and into Kristoff's arms.
"Hi!" the snowman replied, cheerfully.
"You're creepy." he responded before throwing it to Rapunzel who grimaced at the head then chucked it back at Merida.
"I don't want it!" Merida exclaimed, tossing it back to Anna.
"Backatchya!"
"Please don't drop me." the snowman said.
"Don't!" Anna shouted, disgusted.
"Come on! It's just a head!" Flynn replied, exasperated while rolling his eyes at the girls' dramatic scene.
"In that case, you can have it!"
Oomph!
Something hard knocked into Flynn's guts sending him down to the ground as the wind was knocked out of him. He choked on the wrong air so he coughed.
"Sorry." Anna replied, sheepishly when Flynn was glaring at her.
"Here." Kristoff said, smiling. He went towards the fallen guy and picked up the head and placed it on the original owner.
"Oooh! Thank you!"
Kristoff chuckled, amused by the snowman's antics.
"What was up with Jack? Why did the snowman went right through him?" Merida asked.
"Jack? Who's Jack? Is he your friend?" the snowman asked, eyes wide with interest.
"Uh yeah. He's our friend. You know…Jack as in Winter Spirit?" Rapunzel responded.
The new guy gasped. "The Winter Spirit?! Oh, I always wanted to meet him! Where is he? Is he here?!"
Anna smiled. "Yeah. But um…what's your name?"
"Hi! I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs!" he introduced himself, his arms spread out for a hug.
"Hi…Olaf…"
"I'm going to find Jack." Merida said, quietly.
It didn't take long for Merida to find Jack who was currently sitting one of the tree branches as he played with it. It chimed like a bell when the branches collided gently into one another.
"Jack…"
He looked down and saw Merida. Slightly ignoring her, Jack flew off the branch and started walking. The girl could slowly feel the anger creeping up so she marched towards him while trying not to release the anger.
A little nice explanation would help.
"Jack." Merida repeated.
No response.
Annoyed, she raised her voice a little higher. "JACK!"
Jack whirled around, staring coldly at her but he noticed the small flinch from her.
"What?" he replied, coldly.
"What?" Merida asked, scoffing. "What the hell happened back there? I mean—"
"It's nothing."
"Nothing?" she repeated. "Nothing?! Of course, it's something! Goddamnit Jack! Stop being so stubborn and for the Moon's sake, just please talk to me!"
"Why?" he turned around, heatedly as he shouted.
"Why?!" she asked, incredulously. "I'll ask again: Who are you?"
He tightened his grip on the staff, causing his knuckles to turn white. The boy then breathed out a frustrated sigh before rolling his eyes with annoyance.
"I'm Jack."
She raised an eyebrow, having a disbelieving look on her face.
"Alright! I'm a Guardian! A Spirit!" he yelled. "Is that what you wanted to hear? The reason he went through him is because he doesn't believe in me. And in order for people to see me, they have to believe in me. Now…" he took a few deep breaths. "Leave me alone."
He started to turn around so that he could walk but he got interrupted from Merida.
"No." she replied, simply.
"I told you—"
"Because according to a voice, I'm a Guardian."
Jack's eyes widened with shock as he nearly dropped his staff.
"W…what?"
"I'm a Guardian. Three days ago or whatever, there was a voice—a man's voice—telling me that he had chosen me as a Guardian. I didn't know what that meant until I met you, Jack. Almost everything started to make sense to me but I was still confused on what the voice meant about me being a Guardian."
"You're telling me this now?!" Jack exclaimed, feeling a bit hurt in the inside.
"I didn't know who else to tell! My parents will probably think I'm crazy so that's why I ran away! I wanted to find the answers!" by this point, Merida was yelling too.
Little did they know, the group was slowly started to come into the scene but all of them were quiet. Olaf wanted to join them though Anna held him back by grabbing his hand.
"Please Olaf…" Anna responded, kneeling down so that she could be the same height as him.
"You could've asked me in the first place from the moment I met you! I even told you over and over again that I was Guardian!"
"Well it didn't occurred to me back then!" she snapped.
"What about you guys?!" Jack asked, angrily when he finally saw the group. "Did the Man in the Moon told you that you were Guardians as well?!"
The group went silent. Some had guilty faces while the other people (mainly Flynn, Kristoff and Olaf) had confused look. The guilty faces told Jack everything.
"You guys used me." Jack concluded.
"Oh? Do pray tell." Merida sneered, annoyed at him.
"No, Merida. Jack's right." Anna said, quietly.
The red-hair girl whirled around and stared at her.
"The reason I joined you is because I was hoping that maybe you could tell me—or rather us—what the word Guardian meant." Anna started as she tried to ignore the hurtful expression on Jack's face.
"A voice told me as well that I was a Guardian. I didn't know what that meant until I met you, Jack. I thought if I joined you, maybe you could tell us what it meant." Anna continued. Her eyes stared at the ground. "I'm sorry…"
Jack scoffed. "Sorry doesn't cut it."
"Jack." Flynn warned.
"Or else what, Flynn?"
"I'm sorry." he suddenly replied.
This earned a puzzled look from him.
"Sorry? For what?"
He didn't get an answer since Jack felt something hard that collided into his head…
A/N: Ooo…a heated argument between the group…snappp. Poor Jack though: he felt hurt, betrayed and used :( it's okay Jacky. And I always thought that it would be cool if Jack could feel a person's "emotions" thing…so um yeah. That was what the pain he felt at the beginning. Now the songs: the first one where Rapunzel started singing is When will my life begin from Mandy Moore. The second song where Anna started to sing but got interrupted is O Starry Night from Sailor Moon (XD) and the last song Anna sang is Magic of Tonight from Winx Club anywho…review responses!
