Don't look at me with that light glance

Don't speak of love easily

If you want my heart, you need to take my pain too

Because you will be pricked by my thorns someday

Ouvertüre

It was a storm, snowflakes falling heavily in erratic and clumped amounts as if it was reflecting their wild and unrestraint emotions. The storm raged on around them, sweeping their hair and clothes. But neither of them cared: this was their element anyway.

They stood a few meters apart, facing each other as a stream of emotions ran through their features.

Pain – For he didn't want her to leave.

Anger – For she didn't want him to stop her.

Grief – He knew that she wouldn't listen.

Fear – She would not, could not hurt him.

Yearning – For all they wanted was the world to stop turning.

"Don't go." He said, begging her even.

She bit her lip, balling her gloved hand into a fist as she tried to hold back a screaming sob.

"Please don't go, Elsa"

"I have to, Jack."

"Elsa, you can't just leave. What about your parents and Anna?" he asked, his voice growing smaller and quieter until it was only a whisper in the wind, "And – and what about me?"

She turned away, hugging herself in despair. She didn't want to leave, she honestly did not want to go, but what choice did she have?

"No, Jack." She snapped, "You can't, I'll only end up hurting you – like I do to everyone else. I- I couldn't bare it if something happened to you because of me."

Then she couldn't hold it in anymore: she started crying, large tears fell from her eyes as she took short, gasping breaths to try and calm the tempest in her heart.

"Please, Jack. Don't make this harder than it already is." She said, her voice cracking.

"Elsa…no, please –"

She turned away and walked into the blowing snow and wind.

So this is the pain of love, to give someone your heart completely only to have it crushed to pieces before your eyes.

"No – Elsa!" he cried, reaching out for her and trying to stop her. But it was in vain, Elsa's storm will not relent and he was nothing with the conduit of his powers.

"Good bye, Jack." She whispered.
