Elsa and Jack Frost
Chapter 10
Elsa had worked all month to get to where she is now. And with Halloween coming up, she decided to meet with Jack.
Inviting him over for some tea and cake was simple.
She told Anna she and Jack were going to be having a private meeting and that she and Olaf had to be out of the house for it.
"Why?"
"Cause it's personal to me and to him. That is why." Elsa had told her.
Anna didn't push it any further thank goodness for it.
But it still made Elsa nervous with what normally goes through her mind.
Jack came to her house after school, so Elsa skipped to make sure everything was good enough for the meeting.
Jack didn't seem all that impressed with the change.
He just sat down across from Elsa and they sat in silent.
Elsa didn't want to be the first foot forward, but she did invite him to her house. Might as well start this whole reasoning for him being here and why.
"Well, I honestly invited you here to talk. But about what, I think you might know. If not, I'll explain." Elsa started.
"No need to be so formal with me. I mean, I am a guardian and all-"
"This isn't about you being a guardian." Elsa cut him off.
He looked at her with such cold eyes suddenly. She seemed almost too scared to speak up about this.
"This is about you and me, and what kind of...relationship we have here." She said.
Jack tilted his head then sighed. "What exactly do you mean by that. We are friends-"
"Wrong." Elsa knew what he was trying to do. "You think of me...as something else. It's why you broke Katherine's heart. Why your focused on me, I don't know. But I do see it. I'm not blind or stupid to not noticed." She said.
Jack seemed nervous this time. She was hitting the points right on the head.
"Jack. You hang around me like...like I'm someone or something special to you. I'm not your friend-exactly, so why me over all the other girls in the world? And on top of that, why at all. You do live on forever remember?" She pointed out.
Jack sighed. Drinking his tea he was thinking on how to come up with an excuse or a good explanation that could be a lie.
Elsa didn't care. She just wanted the truth was all. Then, he finally spoke up.
"Okay. So, you want me to admit, that I'm in love with you, Snowball?" He grinned. "How charming."
Elsa was surprised he'd say it flat out. What was his-
"If your wondering why I'd tell you now, I'm technically not. You won't acknowledge me as a friend or sometimes as a person who happens to be there in your life. So, I do what I can to prove to you that I'm here and that I'm your friend. I didn't think that far ahead. But, I do care for you Elsa Snow." He said sounding more relaxed.
"So.."
"You have your dancing. I have my guardian duties. The thing is, I do have something connected to you. Even I'm not so sure yet. Maybe it could be that your a new guardian. Or a future one anyway. But right now, I'm letting you live out this dream of yours and supporting you. If it comes down to it. When you realize your own feelings of what I am to you, I'll tell you what mine are to you." He said smiling.
He was being honest and so...mature for his...well looking age.
But this was...feeling like it could be a trick. Elsa didn't know herself, but if Jack was messing with her, she'd blast his heart and-
"Look, Elsa. About Katherine, she was too much like my own sister. That was the real reason I didn't date her. Plus, I am not her Nightlight in the first place, she accepted that."
"Then, tell me this, why do we have this connection that feels...familiar or similar. Like bottling up our hearts." She said in example.
Jack only laughed. "I thought for once, I was just a ghost. I was always invisible. For 300 years. But then, my life changed. I just don't want to remember those years and so I fill them with-"
"Please. If that was the truth, I wouldn't been feeling this connection with you. You know my story. So, you feel as if your portrayed as an evil person too?" She asked.
Jack's eyes widened as she spoke. And he sighed with his head down. "It was...one prank." He said.
Finally, an explanation!
"I was attempting to get into the toy shop, before I was a guardian. I became this evil troubled child. I wanted badly to get in there, I nearly thought about taking over the shop myself and ruining Christmas. Somehow, Sandy, made that really happen, and it was brought out in me, I got scared. And I nearly did the same thing with Pitch on Easter."
It was that long ago, and yet...
"Some time later, a so called "movie" was made about it, Sandy doesn't know how, but I was this villain who wanted to take over Christmas. And the only other thing everyone knew about me was that I was some expression about biting some kids noses off for being out in the cold for too long." He said.
It's not that he had something happen, it was in his mind and how children and grown up saw him as. His existence, became his darkness and fear.
"I'm sorry." Was all Elsa could say. She brought up something too personal and deep from Jack. And now she just feels terrible. This wasn't what she wanted at all.
Soon Jack did leave and Elsa was back to dancing. But could she focus to get her to the final five after what she had done and heard?
