Chapter 2
"…ey! Ther…!"
"Ar… ok?"
I groaned while hearing voices in my head.
"Where am I?"
I thought to myself for a moment, and then reality hits me.
"Oh yeah, I forgot. I'm dead"
I know I'm not falling anymore. And the soft, cold cushion I feel on my back definitely supports my statement.
*Slap*
I felt a mighty and painful slap on my cheeks.
"Oww!"
I shot out upwards, caressing my swollen red cheeks.
"What was that fo…r?"
Huh? I'm alive? The pain from my cheeks is real. The soft and cold cushion beneath is a thick pack of snow. In front is an opening similar to a cave's mouth.
"Ha… I'm not dead… I'm not dead! Wohoo….AHHH!"
Just when I'm on the verge of celebrating, something in front of me took that all away.
"W-Who are you?"
I asked, scared to my bones.
In front of me is a white figure, transparent, quite similar to a smoke. And it's holding a stick. It glided towards me, the tip of the stick making a straight line mark into the snow. It looks like it'll him me again.
"Hello there!"
It said right before I scream like a girl.
The white figure cleared, taking a form of something very familiar. The stick that I thought at first was a weapon, was actually its left arm. Another stick appeared as his right arm.
"Olaf?"
I murmured as I stared at him.
"Yeah, Hello there! How did you know my name?"
I was speechless. Olaf from Frozen?! That can't be! He's from a movie and yet he's standing right here…. Wait a minute…
I paused for a while and scanned my surroundings, making sure this is not something from a movie set or a prank.
The snow are real, the cave walls, and the rocks!
I thought. Just to make sure, I also checked the outside. The snow covered trees are real. Everything is real.
"…are you ok?"
Olaf asked me. I turned around with a wide smile on my face. It's confirmed!
"I'm inside the movie Frozen!"
I shouted like there's no tomorrow. My voice echoed throughout the snow covered mountains.
"Movie? What is that?"
Olaf asked again.
Looking again at Olaf, there seems to be something off about his face. Carrot!
"Umm...nothing. Anyway, where's your nose?"
I asked.
"Haha, I don't have a nose, but it would be great if I have one"
He giggled.
"How about you? I don't see you around here, and you got funny clothes!"
"Oh… I'm…"
I paused and think for a while. I'm not from this world, it might be bad if I just go around and say that to anyone. They might freak out, and worse, change the storyline. But it's ok, it's Olaf after all.
"I'm Nard. Nice to meet you!"
"Hello there, Nerd!"
"Nard… N-A-R-D"
I said slowly and spelled it out for him.
"Nard"
He repeated.
"Good"
I said as I handshake with him. But, as soon as I touched his stick arm, it felt like it'll wear off if I put too much force. Like it's just floating in midair.
Now that I got a closer look at him, he's still in smoke state. I can see things behind him through his body.
"Olaf? Are you…you know, a spirit or something?"
I said as I impale my hand through his body. As expected, it just passed through it.
"That tickles! Yeah, I'm a spirit, why?"
Olaf giggled.
"Aren't you a snowman, perhaps?"
"Yeah, why?"
"So, you're a spirit and a snowman at the same time?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Well, the last thing I know is you're just a plain, living snowman made by Elsa. Not a spirit"
Olaf waved his hand sideways.
"Nope, not just Elsa. Anna made me too. They both created me through their imaginations"
"And you materialize as a spirit…?"
"Yeah, something like that"
Olaf agreed.
Well, it makes sense now. That's why Olaf was alive when Elsa made his body out of snow. What about that Giant ice monster Elsa made? I just hope its spirit is not strolling around somewhere near.
I realized something just now. Now that I'm here, I can change how things will go. I can prevent Anna's accident, I can prevent the king and queen's departure and death, I can prevent Elsa shutting her own sister out because of her powers, and many more.
I can change the flow of the story the way I wanted…with my own hands, in my own way.
I thought.
A loud humming disrupted his thought. It seems like it's coming somewhere near them.
"Olaf, can you hear that?"
"What?"
"Shh.. shh.. listen…"
We both stayed silent, listening to the weird sound echoing in the air.
"It looks like it's coming from that direction"
I pointed towards the patch of snow trees.
"That's the way to the lake"
Olaf said.
"Lake? Lake… you don't mean…"
I have this small hunch. I might be right or wrong, but if I really ended up inside this movie, it'll most likely to start at the very beginning.
"Come on, Olaf. We'll meet some more friends"
I said as I dash away.
"Ohh! Friends! I like friends! And warm hugs!"
Olaf cheered as he glided and followed me into the woods.
Just as I thought.
Right in the middle of the frozen lake were men in pickaxes tilling the ice.
I just watched them as they sing their song. And it looks like they're about to finish.
Cut through the heart, cold and clear
Strike for love and strike for fear
There's beauty and there's danger here
Split the ice apart
Beware the frozen heart...
Among them are a little boy and a young reindeer. Kristoff! Sven!
I was about to shout to call them, but didn't because I might change something from the plot if those two meet me this early. I like it this way and I won't do anything to alter it. My first goal is to change the accident scene.
I looked up at the orange and dark blue sky. It's almost sunset. That accident will happen tonight if I'm not wrong.
"Olaf, do you know where the castle is?"
"Yeah. It's that way"
Olaf just pointed to his right using his stick arm.
"Can't you be a little more specific?"
"Ummm, it's behind that big mountain. Why? You'll go there?"
"Yeah, I have to prevent something bad that is going to happen. But I don't know how. It'll take me a few days just to cross that mountain"
Then the harsh reality struck me. I'm still human after all. I just fell down and sat in the pile of snow. Yes, I was here inside the movie but in the end, I can't do anything. I just stared at my palm. Thinking how miserable and stupid I am right now.
Change the story?! Ha! What am I thinking? Only superheroes can do that! I'm not that…
However, something unexpected happened. In just a blink of an eye, I'm standing somewhere I wasn't supposed to be in right now. In front of me, is a clear view of Arendelle and the castle. I turned around and saw the lake where I was standing before.
A second later, Olaf appeared beside me in a poof.
"Hey, what happened? You just disappeared"
"I-I don't know. I just imagined I'm at the top of this mountain and here I am!"
Still not knowing what just happened right now, I just smiled with excitement. Then suddenly, something came up to my mind and decided to test it. A hundred meters away, there's a log covered in snow. I'm gonna try something crazy and see if it'll work.
After a few second of concentration and some imagination, in a blink of an eye, I'm now standing on top of the log.
It worked. It worked! I have teleportation powers!
I mentally screamed. I've never been happy in my whole life. For a second, I thought I could also have some other powers such as flying or super strength.
Nah. That won't happen.
Because it will be too OP and I might wreck the whole movie. For now, I must focus on doing my real job, changing the storyline.
"Hey, wait up. You just keep on disappearing out of nowhere. Are you a spirit too?"
Olaf poof out again beside me.
"Not really. But one thing is for sure, I'll be the one who'll decide this story's happily ever after… with a BANG! Try to keep up Olaf!"
I shouted while blinking through the woods with my newfound powers.
