CHAPTER 1: The Beginning

Part I

Elsa:

"Mom, It's happening again," Elsa panicked, watching in horror as the ice had started to spread over her pale little hands. "Calm down, honey, everything is gonna be fine." Her mother consoled her with an assuring tone. She sat right beside her, with her little sister, Anna sitting on her lap. She held her precious 12-year-old daughter close to her, as the younger one hugged her mother even closer.

Both the parents tried their very best to calm the elder one down, who was freaking out due to her uncontrolled ice powers, as the car sped on the highway through a cold, moonless, wintery night. The father was driving the vehicle clearly in a hurry to reach his destination. He had recently heard from a very close friend, that there was a transcendent in a neighboring town who could help out their elder daughter Elsa, with her evergrowing ice powers.

Noticing a sharp turn coming up ahead, Agnar stepped onto the brakes but, to his dismay, the vehicle skid on the damp road, moving with the same momentum, to make the situation worse, a truck was speeding directly towards them from the opposite side. To avoid a fatal accident from happening, Agnar steered the vehicle off-road. "AG-AGNARRR!" his wife Iduna shrieked. The car crashed into a tree. Agnar struggled to open his eyes, but the weakness and fatigue took the better of him.

Elsa's pov:

"Elsa…. Dear?"those were the very first words I heard as the darkness faded out of my vision. "Elsa dear, how are you feeling right now?" hearing a familiar voice, I tried to focus on the man's face despite my bleared sight. It took me a few moments before I finally recognized that it was my uncle Frederic. He gave me a worried yet an encouraging smile. I tried to sit up from my laid down position, and then it hit me. I winced as I felt a sharp pain in my side, my uncle rushed to my aid, pleading me to lie down. However, my curiosity took the best of me as I pulled up the white hospital garment I wore, revealing a wound bandaged recently.

At that very instant, events from the last night recurred to me. Last night we were traveling out of town and the car skid and crashed into a tree and, oh my god, Anna, mom, and dad are they alright. "UNCLE, WHAT ABOUT ANNA AND MOM AND DAD, THEY WERE WITH ME AND THEN THE CAR C-CRASHED. A-ARE THEY ALRIGHT?A-ARE THEY INJURED?" I spoke anxiously and abruptly. My voice was already hoarse and cracked with the surge of emotions. The temperature of the room already had fallen by a few degrees and, it was evident seeing that everyone was shivering a bit despite the central heating systems installed operating to maintain the temperature. Witnessing the supernatural phenomena, the doctor was shellshocked, but he was quick to regain his wits.

The door swung open, and my aunt Arianna entered the room. She looked over in my direction and gave me a weak and an encouraging smile. She whispered something in uncle's ear, on which he heaved a sigh of relief but, there were still signs of anguish and melancholy on his face. They both approached by my side, a trace of determination flashed through their expressions. "Elsa dear," my aunt spoke, holding my hands in her larger, warmer ones. "We need you to be brave and strong, Anna needs you to be strong," listening to these few words already gave me the feeling that something devastating had happened, but I gave them a subtle nod, reflexively. Tears were already accumulating, threatening to flow.

From what they had just told me, I was able to deduce that Anna was most probably doing well, but what about mom and dad!? I was quick to ask, "Y-You just said that Anna needed me, then what about parents!? You d-didn't say anything about them!"

"Oh dear, Anna is fine, she suffered from a minor head injury, but everything is under control," I heaved a sigh of relief confirming that Anna was alright. "B-But, what about my parents, are they also fine and uninjured?" I asked with a tinge of hope. "Oh, Elsa….." my aunt gave a muffled cry, she hugged me ever so tightly as if to save me from shattering and falling apart, and though she tried to hide it, I knew she was crying, I could feel how her body spasmed uncontrollably. "Y-your parents are g-gone, t-they passed away, in y-yesterday night's car acciden…t…," her voice cracked, and as much she had tried to hold it in, the pain came out like an uproar. Tears burst forth like water from a dam.

I felt as if I had been punched straight in the gut. I-It was the first time in my life that I felt this vulnerable, anchorless, rootless, and despite my aunt embracing in a warm hug, I felt so lonely. It felt as if something inside me had shattered, the tears I had tried so hard restraining streamed down. They were dead because of me. If I didn't have these cursed powers, we would not have made that trip, the accident would not have happened, and my parents would still have been alive. Oblivious to the fact that the raging emotions had triggered my ability to a much further extent, the stored tears continued to flow and, the sobs wracked my body. "Please calm down Elsa," my aunt tried to handle the situation but, to no avail. The frost and ice started to spread with me at the center. I felt a sting on my right arm, "Please rest, for now, we will talk when you're up and, we will take you to meet Anna," were the last words I heard before passing out.

Jack:

Jack's pov:

"Jack, when are you gonna teach me skating!?" Mary was pestering me once again, this scenario had been repeated countless times over the week, and I was already too familiar with it. I would have taken her earlier, but there was a chance that ice would be too thin for skating, the ice could just crack. However, seeing her make those puppy dog eyes, and the fact that the ice should be thick enough by now due to low temperature over the week, I just couldn't say no. But, I did set the condition that we can only go skating if and only if she promised to remain near the edge, away from the center of the pond where ice was most likely to be thinner, better safe then sorry.

I grabbed a pair of skates and turned to leave for the pond when I heard mom, "Be careful Jack," I could understand the concealed worries in her voice, but I gave her a jolly, assuring chuckle, "we will!"

"Ok Mary, we are gonna take it slow and steadily to keep you safe," I guided Mary through the most basic steps. She was very quick to adapt, thanks to her great sense of balance. She had an aptitude for skating. She was starting to enjoy skating, my thoughts wandered off, as I watched her laugh and smile. It's been quite long since I've seen laugh and play. This year had been tough for our family. I'm not just baselessly complaining, life in general, has always been tough for us. Mom was the only family member who had a job. She worked at a nearby café, and that was never enough for her children and, the drunk jobless, cheat of a father and, "JACK!" my train of thoughts was interrupted by a shriek from Mary.

OH MY GOD! She was right where I had told her not to go, right at the center of the pond. I hastily took my skates off and rushed to her rescue. I panicked a little when I saw that the ice was cracking under her skates. I moved a bit closer, "Hey, it's going to be ok. J-just don't look down, look at me," however this didn't have any effect on her, the spider-web like pattern expanded with a cracking sound. "Jack, I'm scared," she responded with a meek, wavering voice. I leaned even closer, but the ice started to crack under my extended foot, warning me not to take even a step forward.

"Everything will be okay, alright….. Y-You're not going to fall in. We are going to have some fun instead!" I tried taking her mind off our current predicament, and I think I was quite successful as she yelled at me, "NO, we're not!" I questioned her with a hurt yet playful expression, "Would I trick you?" She played along, "YES, you always play tricks," I feigned a hurt expression. Well yeah, that much is true. "N-n-not this time, y-you have to believe in me…. You wanna play a game we're going to play hopscotch, i-it's as easy as one….." The ice cracked as I took a step forward, I acted as if I had just lost my balance to lighten the mood. I heaved a sigh of relief as I heard her chuckle. "….Two…." this time, the ice remained firm and intact. "Three," I got onto the safe harbor. However, she still was stuck there.

She clapped for me, I told her to move, "Ok now it's your turn," I crouched down to grab a wooden staff crooked at one of its ends. She gasped in horror, as the pattern under her skates expanded when she tried to move. "…One…..two…." I counted as I extended the crooked end of the staff in her direction. "….THREE!" I yanked at her with the crooked end of the staff around her waist. She was safe now. She looked in my direction, elated and happy to be safe. I smiled at her, but, before we could celebrate the ice under my footing shattered. "JAAACK!" I heard my sister call out my name.

I was a fool for not realizing that while I did save her, I had swapped my position with hers, the ice which was already cracking under her weight would shatter for sure if I'm the one standing there, but don't get me wrong. I did not regret saving my sister! If I had to do it again, I would not hesitate even a second. I would repeat the same thing over and over. The water was dark and so cold. For the first time in my life, I truly felt fear. Afraid that I will never be able to see my family, mom, Mary, Jamie, Emma, and my best bud, Hiccup. Those were my very last thoughts before I ceased to exist as a mortal, as Jackson Overland Frost.
