Chapter 1
It was just in the morning when Elsa Black jumped out of her bed.
Today was the day.
Her 18th birthday, the day where she could finally see the free world!
Her father, Pitch Black, had always kept her from the world. It was because of her mother's death. Since a guardian, an evil being, had killed her mother, her father was overprotective over her. But he had told her that when she was eighteen, he might let her see the world.
Elsa smiled and made a little snowflake with her hand. It was time.
She ran through the hallway and knocked on her father's door.
"Daddy?"
"Come in."
Elsa walked happily into his room and sat down onto the bed. Pitch was already dressed and packing for his work.
"You know what day it is?" Asked Elsa, bouncing up and down like a child.
"I know sweetie." Pitch smiled at her. "It is your birthday! And I have a special present!"
Elsa was way too excited.
Pitch grabbed something from his dresser and put it in her hand.
It was the necklace her mother was always wearing.
"My mother's necklace…."
"It suits you…"
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Elsa gave him a hug.
The necklace had a little snowflake on it.
"Your mother has ice powers, just like you…."
Elsa smiled, but she stopped smiling when she though about his promise.
"What is it, honey?"
"Dad…you know…there is one thing I always wanted…."
Elsa blushed and looked away nervously.
"Oh?" Pitch raised his eyebrows. "And that is?"
"Well….I…watdsetehewrlkdjhgd….." Mumbled Elsa.
"What?"
"I want to see the world!"
Pitch sighed and turned around. "Elsa…remember what I told you?"
"That the world is dangerous and full of evil monsters, I know, but you promised that when I turned eighteen, that I could go!"
"You can't! Guardians will kill you." Pitch petted her. "I'm just protecting you…"
"Well don't." Elsa slapped his hand away. "I'm going. There is nothing you can do to stop me!"
"Young lady…you are not leaving this house ever!"
"I'm not staying here forever!" Yelled Elsa. "I'm grown up and I can do what I want!"
"You are mine and you are staying here!"
Darkness suddenly wrapped itself around Elsa her body. It pushed her down onto the floor and started to poor into her. Elsa was slowly suffocating.
"Elsa!" Said Pitch.
The darkness immediately dissolved and Elsa could breathe again.
"Elsa…" Pitch reached out, but his daughter crawled back with fear in her eyes.
She quickly got up and ran back into her room and locked her door.
Elsa slid down against her door and started to sob.
"Elsa?" Pitch knocked onto her door. "I'm sorry…I didn't mean to hurt you…I have to go to work…I still love you, dear…"
She heard his footsteps fade and the door close.
Elsa got up and walked to her dresser. She grabbed her bag.
This time she was going to leave. With or without his permission.
"Jack, please stay calm!"
Tsar Frost looked with a worried look at his son, who was angry when he was told that he needed to stay home, because a dark lord was loose.
"I thought that I could go and hangout with other kids! And now you suddenly say I can't! What does mom think of this?"
"I think Tsar is right."
His mother, named Olivia Frost walked in. She had long white hair and a blue dress.
"With Pitch out in the open, it is to dangerous for you to go and hangout with the other guardian children. They all need to stay home too."
Jack folded his arms. "It's not fair! What is so dangerous about that guy anyway?"
"He has dark powers…and ever since we accidentally killed his wife, he is more dangerous than before…"
"Really…still, if I would find him, I could take him on!" Said Jack. "I would freeze him…"
His parents giggled.
"Alright, Champ." Said Tsar. "Me and your mother have to go…we'll be back in half an hour."
"Fine." Said Jack.
"See you soon, dear."
The door closed and it was silent in his home.
Jack waited until he heard them fly away.
He grinned and ran to his window.
He was going out today and no one could stop him.
Jack jumped through the window and ran into the forest.
"Pitch Black!" Yelled Tsar.
"Tsar…" Said Pitch coldly. "…You murderer…"
"I was an accident!"
"Sure! I won't let you hurt my family anymore!"
"You have a family?" Asked Tsar.
Pitch didn't answer and made a crossbow with his dark powers.
Tsar and Olivia gulped.
Jack was walking through the woods. It has been an hour since he had left.
Suddenly he heard footsteps.
He quickly hit in the bushes.
A girl with light blond hair, and a dark dress was walking through the forest. She had crystal blue eyes…just like him. She was skipping through the forest with a smile.
"Let it go…let it go…" Sang the girl.
Jack had the brilliant idea to introduce himself and walked from behind the bushes.
"Hey, there, my name is Jack…."
Elsa screamed and shot an ice-beam towards him.
Jack quickly jumped out of the way.
"Who are you?"
"Like I said." Jack swept the dirt of his clothes. "Jack. Jack Frost."
"Stay away from me!" Yelled Elsa. "I can freeze you!"
"I saw that. Who are you?"
"None of your business."
"I can freeze you too, you know." Said Jack.
"How?"
"With this staff."
Elsa raised her eyebrows. "Really? That is lame. I can shoot with my hands!"
"Well, princess, I think it is cool. But I didn't catch your name."
Elsa nervously looked at him. The boy had white hair and looked around 19 years old. He looked like someone she could trust, but he could be playing her.
"Come on, I'm not gonna bite." Jack sent her a wink.
"Fine, I am Elsa Black." Whispered the girl.
"Elsa? That is a pretty name. And what are you doing here alone in the woods?"
"That is my own business." Said Elsa. "And for now I am headed for the town of Arendelle."
"Can I tag along, princess?"
"If you stop talking, yes." Said Elsa.
She started to walk and Jack ran after her.
"Elsa? I'm home!" Pitch walked into his house.
It was a hell of a fight, but Tsar and his wife fled. Cowards.
"Listen, I'm sorry about hurting you."
Pitch opened up her bedroom door. He gasped.
It was empty and the window was opened up.
"Elsa?!"
Pitch ran through the house. She was nowhere to be seen.
"That little runaway!" Said Pitch. He looked at a picture of Elsa when she was five.
It was one of the first times he hurt her. She was just five and looked at him just like today. A few weeks later his wife died. He had to tell his little girl and she cried for months…. and now she was gone…
"I'm going to find you, Elsa, don't you worry!"
He summoned one of his nightmare horses and flew up into the air.
"It is getting dark." Said Jack. "We better set up camp."
"Camp?"
"You really didn't think this through, did ya?" Said Jack. "If we want to live through the night, we need to set up a camp."
"Fine…how?"
Jack sighed and picked up a few branches. He put them down and rubbed a few against each other.
"What are you doing?" Asked Elsa.
"Making a fire."
She sighed and rolled her eyes. "Step aside."
She pushed him away and put her hands forward.
"What are you-"
Out of her hands shot a little fire.
It lit up the branches and they had a fire.
"What the hell!" Yelled Jack.
He grabbed her hands. They had a few burns on it.
"Are you okay? What were you thinking?!"
Elsa blushed, as he was way too close. She quickly pulled her hand back.
"I'm fine."
"How did you do that?"
"If I really concentrate…I can use…"
Jack grabbed her hands again. "Well, I don't want you to do it again. You have some burns…hold on."
He made a movement with his staff and little snowflakes appeared on her hands.
It was cooling and the burns quickly disappeared.
"Thank you." Whispered Elsa. "How…"
"Don't ask. Just promise me that you will never do it again!"
"Okay…" Said Elsa. "I-I promise."
"Good princess."
"Stop calling me that!"
Elsa sat down on a giant branch and sighed. When she would arrive, she would dump this guy and go on alone. He was really annoying her…
He sat down beside her. Elsa studied him. He was brushing his hand through his white hair. Elsa wondered what Jack knew about the world. He didn't look like an evil being, but…
"What?" Jack noticed her staring at him.
"Nothing." Elsa looked back at the fire.
"Hey…Elsa…" Whispered Jack. "Why are you wearing black?"
"Why are you talking?"
"Just asking questions."
"Fine…" She sighed before continuing. "My father is very strict. So I have to wear black."
"Let me guess…you ran away?" Asked Jack.
Elsa nodded. "And you?"
"My parents told me that I needed to stay in, because of some dangerous guy. But I wanted to hang out with my friends, so I ran off."
"Friends?" Asked Elsa.
"Yeah." Said Jack. "My guardian fri-"
"Guardians? You are a guardian?" Yelled Elsa.
She looked frightened.
"Elsa? "Asked Jack confused.
"You are a guardian?"
"Yeah, why?"
"You…" She touched his face with her hand. "You are not a horrible monster?"
Jack was taken back by her touch. "Y-yeah…"
Elsa quickly retracted her hand. "I thought guardians were horrible monsters who kill girls like me in an instant. At least that was what papa told me."
"Well, I'm not a monster. Guardians are good, Elsa. They wouldn't hurt you."
"At least you're not." Said Elsa. "You are way too weak, Frost."
"I'm not princess." Said Jack.
"Oh yeah?"
Elsa quickly tackled him to the ground. Jack tried to get up, but she pinned him down.
"Haha got you!" Said Elsa.
"Damn, you are strong!" Said Jack.
Elsa laughed and got off. "See?"
Jack laughed and got up as well. "I see…. now, we'd better get to sleep."
"How? I can't sleep out in the open! Monsters might…"
"Monsters?" Jack chuckled.
"Oh, shut up!" Yelled Elsa. "Shut up, shut up, and shut up!"
"Don't worry princess, I am the only monster here."
"Jack…"
He lay down on the branch. "Well, I'm off to sleep."
"Hmpf." Elsa lay down on the ground. "Jerk."
"Princess."
Pitch looked at the two from the shadows. He was about to attack Jack, but he knew he had to wait. He had to wait until he could break her and take her back.
The next day Jack woke up he felt someone tucking at his arm.
"Jack, Jack, Jack!"
Elsa was pulling at his arm.
"What?" Jack got up and stretched his arms.
"We need to go! You slept way too long! We have to get a move on!"
"I'm coming…" Mumbled Jack.
Elsa grabbed him by his hand and dragged him along.
"Come on! We need to get to Arendelle fast!"
"I'm coming!"
"Come on!"
Jack laughed.
Little did he know who she was….
