Jack and Elsa
The House That Built Me
Chapter 14
Elsa waited day and night for Jack to rise from the ice and be now known as Jack Frost.
Baby Tooth slept on Elsa's head curled up in her hair.
"He should be coming soon." Elsa said.
Waiting patiently. Elsa sat in the shadows of the trees close to the ice.
"Jack. Where are you?" Elsa asked herself. She knew where he was, but she was more, wondering, why he wasn't coming up from the frozen water.
"Jack!" Shouted a small voice.
Elsa looked up and saw Pippa walked over to where Jack fell.
Elsa watched her slowly walk out on the ice.
"What is she doing?" Elsa asked herself.
Pippa stood before the spot and dropped a rose on the ice.
"Jack. Hi. I miss you. Mom misses you too. I try not to think about how that day could have gone. You didn't have to save me. But you did. You could have run away or not help me. But you stayed and risked your own life for me." Pippa started to cry.
"Why?! Why did you have to die?! Why did you have to leave us?! Me! Mom!" She really was hurting.
"I wished I could have saved him. I'm so sorry, Pippa." Elsa said. Even if she couldn't hear her. Elsa still felt like saying it out loud.
"Jack you should have known the ice wasn't safe! I know you wanted to show me some fun! But not at this cost." Pippa fell to her knees. Crying out loud Elsa was in pain all over again.
Was this how Anna felt when she locked herself in...her room. Her and Jack...were the same after all.
"Jack. Please come back." Pippa misses her brother so much.
Elsa couldn't even imagine losing Anna in this situation.
She almost did. Actually, twice.
"Bye Jack." Pippa said.
Pippa stood up wiping her tears from her red and puffy face and walked off the ice lake.
Elsa couldn't help but feel sad.
"Baby Tooth. I'll be right back." She said and got up and followed Pippa to her house.
It wasn't a too far walk from the lake to the house of Jack's mother and Pippa.
"Where were you?" The mother asks.
"I went to give Jack a rose. I miss him mom." Pippa was still vary sad.
"Me too sweetie." She said to her daughter with a hug. "I do too."
Elsa watched them through the window. "Jack. Your family misses you so much." Elsa said.
Elsa walked back to the lake to wait for Jack Frost.
Sitting in the snow Elsa waited by the edge of the lake for Jack.
Looking up at the moon Elsa always wondered what "Manny" had to say.
Jack has told her what he says to him. Always words of wisdom and encouragement.
"Man in Moon. it's Elsa. I don't know if you can even hear me. But if there's a way to help Jack. Please tell me. send me a sign. Let me help...the man...I know." Elsa felt a single tear fall down her cheek. "And love." She added.
The ice began to crack on the lake. Elsa quickly hid in the trees and Baby Tooth woke up.
"This is it." Elsa said to her.
She watched Jack rise from the lake. He was breathing. The staff was still there where he left it.
Elsa saw the Jack Frost for the first time. His first time. Reawakening. Elsa was stunned seeing him for who he's meant to become.
A guardian of fun.
Elsa watched him from afar till he learned to fly using the wind.
"He's so cool. I have forgotten how he loves flying." Elsa said with a smile.
Baby Tooth followed him and Elsa ran for where Jack could be.
Jack was laughing and everything. He was happy. But...He didn't know who he was.
"Hey can you tell me where I-" Seeing the kid run right through him, Elsa wasn't sure if she was going to be seen by Jack like she how they met.
"What? What is going on?" Jack was asking himself so many questions.
"Who?" He looked up at the moon.
"Manny." Elsa whispered.
"I'm Jack Frost." He repeated.
"Jack." Elsa said so quietly. Jack turned to where she stood. He and Baby Tooth were right out in the open.
"Jack." She said his name again.
He stared at her. Did he see her. She was seeing him. Was this going to ruin the time...No. it wasn't because this was all just a dream. This didn't effect the past.
"Jack Frost." She said his name more firmly.
"Who? You can see me?" He asked.
Elsa smiled. "Elsa." She said.
"Jack." He said. "How do you know me?"
"You don't remember? We were together. We met. I was your guardian angel." She said.
"What? I don't remember you." He said. He was confused.
"It doesn't matter." Elsa said. Smiling a sad smile.
Jack was worried. "What do you mean?"
"Look for the name Jamie Bennett. And a few years latter you'll see me once again." She told him.
"But I won't know who you are." She said.
Jack was reaching for her but Elsa stepped back.
"I'll be seeing you soon." She kissed his cheek and then ran back to the frozen lake.
Elsa took a deep breath. "I'm ready." She looked up at the moon.
"To go back home." She added.
Elsa closed her eyes. "Wake up. Elsa. Wake up." She said.
"Elsa!" She heard Jack's voice. As Elsa opened them to turn and see him running to her...
"Elsa!" Wake up!" it wasn't Jack's voice. His voice wasn't that high and...
Wait. "Anna?" Elsa said it so softly. It was almost like a whisper.
"Elsa." It was her.
"Anna?!"
