Chapter 5

Elsa

She was trying to calm her nerves down.

Her coronation was in a few minutes and her nerves were acting up again. Conceal it,don't feel it. Conceal it,don't feel it. She continued repeating that to herself to calm herself down but it did little to ease her nervousness.

What if I accidentally reveal my powers to everyone?

What if I hurt someone?

What if I hurt Anna again.

"Your majesty." Elsa nearly jumped out of her skin as she turned to see one of the servants watching her with a concerned expression. "Are you alright?"she asked. Elsa quickly regained her composure. "Yes,i'm fine. Just a little nervous."she answered with a tight smile. The servant smiled warmly. "I understand. But do not fret you majesty. This coronation will go wonderfully and you will be a great queen."

Elsa looked at the servant and saw that sincerity on her face which helped calm her nerves enough to stop her from spiralling into a panic. "Now,I believe your coronation is about to begin. Elsa nodded. "Thank you."she said gratefully. The servant nodded and headed off. It's just for one day Elsa she told herself. You can do this.

She took a deep breath and opened the doors.

Everyone in the room turned their heads to her as the music took a louder tone. Steeling herself,she straightened and walked towards the priest. She made very little eye contact with the people in the room but then she saw a pair of eyes that nearly made her stop in the center of her own coronation. A pair of light blue eyes. Keeping her head straight while continuing to make her way towards the priest and stopped in front of him. The music came to a stop,signalling the start of the coronation.

She looked down at the sceptre and orb on the cushion on the priest's hands,going to pick them up,when the priest cleared his throat,stopping her. "Your majesty,"he whispered to her. "The gloves." Her entire body froze.

No you don't understand she wanted to tell him. I can't take off the gloves!

She knew though that she couldn't argue with the priest so,with shaky hands,she pulled off the gloves and placed them neatly on the cushion. Turning her gaze to the orb and sceptre,she took a deep breath and tried to calm her shaking hands enough so the priest or Anna wouldn't see,grabbed them and turned to face the people. They all rose from their seats as the priest began to speak. Seconds later,she felt a cold sensation on her hands and,keeping her head up,she moved her eyes downward.

A thin layer of ice was slowly but steadily raising up the orb and sceptre. No! No,this can't be happening! She couldn't believe that the very thing she had feared to happen was happening right now. She managed to keep her expression calm and collected as she was trying to get her emotions back in control. Please don't let anyone notice she prayed silently. "Queen Elsa of Arendelle."she heard the priest said. Elsa turned around as she quickly placed the orb and sceptre onto the cushion,put back on her gloves then turned to face the people as they all got up from their seats and clapped loudly for their new queen. Elsa sighed heavily in relief and let a small smile cross her face,relieved that she managed to keep her powers hidden.

That relief was short lived.

Her gaze caught the sight of the two icy blue eyes and her entire body froze. The memory of the huge,white wolf rushed back fresh in her mind,nearly making her stumble back in shock.

Calm down she told herself sternly. There's no wolf here. You're fine. She could see that the two blue eyes belonged to a pale skinned,white haired boy. She,however,didn't like the way the boy was looking at her. She knew that all the people inside were looking at her but the way the boy was looking at her,much more closely,intensely than the others,had her feeling slightly on edge. Maybe he saw the ice on the orb and sceptre a small voice echoed in her head. No,that's impossible. I'm just being paranoid she told herself firmly. Still that didn't stop her from feeling on edge as she glanced at the boy who was watching her.

Jack

The woman,Elsa,confused him to no end. Why is she so scared to reveal her powers he wondered. His train of thought broke as Kristoff nudged him while saying,"It seems that Anna wants to speak with us."he said,pointing. He looked in the direction of where he was pointing to see Anna waving them over. Confused and curious,Jack got up and walked to her. "You wanted to speak with me?"he asked. Anna nodded. "Later tonight,there's going to be a ball. Normally,the villagers are to wait outside in the courtyard for the queen but I want you to come to it."

His eyes widened in shock. Though he had never been to many kingdoms or events at kingdoms,he knew that balls were important events that royals and people of importance went to. To be invited to a ball,by the princess at that,was considered an honor. This could give me a chance to be able to approach Elsa and talk to her he thought. He looked back at Anna and nodded. "I would be honored to go to the ball,Anna."he told her. She beamed happily as she clasped her hands together. "Great! Now that that's settled,I need to get a few things ready before then. Can't wait to see you at the ball!"she said happily before heading out the church. Perhaps luck is on my side for once Jack thought to himself as he got up from his seat and followed the others out of the church.

Author's note: I know this chapter and Jack's POV especially were very short but I was having a lot of writer's block which is way this took way longer to upload along with the fact that I have school. Next chapter will be longer I promise. Nonetheless,I hope you all enjoyed it and stay safe!
