Elsa's POV:
My heart beat so fast I thought it would jump right out of my chest. No. That never happened. He wasn't trying to do what I thought he was doing…or was it me? His blue eyes had me completely in a daze. I needed to stop this infatuation with Jack Frost, and I needed to stop it soon. There was no way for us to be together without broken hearts. Why did my first love have to be so complicated?
Barely another word was spoken on Anna and I's way back home. The moment kept replaying in my mind and how close I was to…kissing him. I quickly ran up the many stairs to my room and closed the door behind me. I ran to my bed and fell face first on it. KNOCK! KNOCK! "Elsa?" Anna asked from the other side. I didn't really feel like talking right now…not to anyone. "Elsa, I know you're in there!" she called again. I stayed still and sniffled, feeling my eyes tear up. "I know your doors unlocked so I'm coming in!" she said again, muffled by the door. With a quiet creak, the door was open and I felt her sit on my bed beside me. I kept my face buried in the blanket, now a few tears falling down my cheeks. The scene again came to my mind, and my heart picked up speed with even a thought of the moment. "I can't do this anymore…" I finally breathed. Another cold tear fell down my cheek. "Do what?" Anna asked. I sat up and wiped my tears away. "I can't keep falling in more love with Jack every time I see him. He's my weakness, Anna. I have to try to stay away from him!" I exclaim. Anna smiled sadly and patted my back. "I'm so sorry you have to go through this Els, but one day you may have to tell him," she replied. I buried my face in my palms. She was right. But what if he didn't have such strong feelings about me as I do about him? What I had for him was stronger than love, I don't know what it could be. Some said it would pass, and I may think I love him, but in reality I really don't, and that it's just a strong first crush. But they are so wrong. Now I know what love feels like, but I don't know how it feels to be returned…and I guess I never will.
5:00 came fast. Anna and I had organized a beautiful dinner party. The ball room was set up for dancing with the chandeliers lit and the music ready to play. The dining room had polished utensils and cooks scurrying around to finish dinner and set out plates and appetizers. I could hear the band playing beautiful waltzes of every kind, and most of our friends had arrived. Eugene and Punzie, Kristoff, Hiccup and Merida, and Jack. They all were dressed in their best formal clothes and talked amongst each other. I had on a blue and silver evening gown with my hair down in curls, and a snowflake barrete on the side of my head, and Anna had on a turquoise dress with white and pink embroidery designs on it and her hair was also down. Even Jack had dressed for the occasion which he only did rarely. And…wait…was he wearing…shoes?! No way! Jack never wore shoes unless he was forced to by someone…probably Merida talked him into it. Their relationship was…let's say…interesting. "Hi Elsa!" I spun around and saw Punzie behind me with a chocolate covered strawberry in her hand. I smiled. "Oh, hi Punzie," I replied. Repunzel took a bite of the strawberry and smiled. "Thank you so much for inviting us over! We're having a wonderful time!" she exclaimed. I giggled and folded my hands together. "I'm so glad you and Eugene could make it! And just between us, what's up with the new shoe thing and Jack?" I whispered. Repunzel laughed quietly and smiled. "Well, Merida forced him into it. You should've seen it. Jack was furious. She had to tie his hands behind his back and shove them on," she whispered back. I tried not to laugh out loud, but what a sight that must've been! Although at times, Jack could be a four year old. "Anyway, he looks good though, don't you think?" she asked. I looked over at Jack, whom at the moment was talking to Hiccup. I slightly smiled and blushed. He did look really quite handsome. He had on an ice blue jacket with a silvery white tie and matching dark blue pants. His silver hair still crazy, but perfect that way. "He does look good," I reply. Repunzel smiled. "Uh…you're blushing, Els," she laughed. I widened my eyes and covered my cheeks, hoping to cool them down a little. "Oh, hehe, yeah, uhm, sorry," I stuttered. Repunzel gave me that look that she gives people when she knows what they're thinking, and I'm sure she does, and walked away. I quickly try to avoid Jack even when I saw him looking at me. I didn't want to talk to him and become even more heartbroken. For the next hour, I talked to everyone but him.
Why are you avoiding him, Elsa? Just talk to him, it won't do you any harm.
No, no I can't talk to him. I'm…I'm just too nervous.
Oh, but he's really easy to talk to! Just do it.
But…but if I do…it'll only give me more reasons to think why I can't be with him. No, I can't.
Come on…how are you ever going to find love if you don't even put effort in it?
After that incident this morning, I don't even know what to say to him!
Suddenly, during my mental fight, ice sprawled under my feet. I looked down and gasp quietly. I needed to calm down and be alone…just for a few minutes, then I'd be back. I made my way through the small crowd and started walking to my room. "Elsa? Where are ye goin', we're going to start dancin' now!" Merida exclaimed, and music started playing. I shook my head. "I'll be back in just a moment. I need to…um…fix my dress!" I replied and walked through the halls to my room. A waltz started playing, and everyone grabbed a partner. Meanwhile, I rushed to my room and closed the door. I paced back and forth and tried to calm myself down just a little. I listened to the music and tried to let it relax me even more. The clicks of my heels wrung through the walls in my room as I convinced myself to be calm. I felt so bad that I had to leave the party for a few minutes. Jack must think I'm crazy. What a bad hostess! But thinking about that wouldn't help me. I ran my hands through my hair and breathed out one last time.
Calm down
Control yourself
It's going to be okay
Just go back when the next waltz starts, your powers will be controlled by then
With one last exhale, I looked at my hands to see if I had completely gotten control. Unexpectedly, a quiet tap came to my door. Probably a maid asking what drinks should be served. I walked over to my door and was surprised to see Jack standing in the doorway with his arms crossed across his chest. I smiled awkwardly and bit my lip. "Jack! Shouldn't you be…uh…dancing?" I asked. Jack walked into my room. "Well, yeah, if I had a partner I would be. But she left," he smirked. He was talking about me. I felt bad, leaving him without a partner was rude. "Sorry, Jack! But I can't dance in this dress," I replied. Jack rolled his eyes. "That's not why you left though is it?" he asked. I stood silent and bit my lip. Jack walked over to me and placed his hands on my shoulders. "Are your powers out of control again?" he asked. I nodded. "Well, just a little. But they're okay now, I think," I reply. Jack smiled. "Well, good." Suddenly, another song started playing, and one of my favorites at that. "So, while you're still getting control, would you care to dance, your highness?" he asked with a bow. My cheeks heated up and I smiled. "Oh, Jack, you know I can't dance," I replied, taking his hand anyway. He lifted from his bow and held me close in the dancing position. "Then I'll teach you," he smiled. He took my left hand and held my waist with his right, and soon we were slowly dancing together in rhythm to the song, still in my room. The music was beautiful and wrung throughout the palace. Apparently Jack knew the song too, because he was keeping wonderful time when dancing. Without knowing, I rested my head on his chest and he rested his head on mine. Part of me ask what the heck I was doing but the other half cheered me on.
"Someday, when I'm awfully low," Jack whispered the lyrics in my ear in a quiet singing voice. Jack rarely sang, but his voice was great.
"When the world is cold, I will feel a glow just thinking of you…
And the way you look tonight."
The last words hit me. Was he actually talking to me through song? That mere voice of his sent chills up my spine and butterflies flew about in my stomach. Dancing to one of my favorite songs with the love of my life, and him singing along so romantically.
"Yes, you're lovely, with your smile so warm,
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me…..but to love you…
Just the way you look tonight."
His grip on my waist grew a little tighter and I closed my eyes and relaxed my head that was on his chest.
"With each word, your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart,
And your laugh…when it wrinkles your nose,
Touches my foolish heart."
Suddenly, we became a little higher off the ground. But wait. How was I floating? We were about three feet off the ground but going the same dancing pace. I didn't let this ruin the moment, although I don't know how it was possible for us both to be floating.
"Lovely, never…never change,
Keep that breathless charm, won't you please arrange it? Cause I love you,
Just the way you look tonight,
…and that laugh, when it wrinkles your nose…
Touches my foolish heart…
Lovely, don't you ever change?
Keep that breathless charm,
Won't you please arrange it, because I love you…the way you look tonight…"
"Mm…mm…mm…mm…
The way you look tonight." I joined in with a soft singing voice. Jack nuzzled his head into my hair, and pulled me into a hug. The winter pine scent escaped off of his clothes into my nose and made my knees go weak. "Els, I need to tell you something," he whispered into my hair. My eyes flew open and my mind thought of every possible wrong thing that he could say. Did he find out about my feelings and wants to tell me he doesn't feel the same? Did I do something wrong? Is he in love with someone else? Or does he feel the same? His actions a few minutes ago and this morning might have meant something. I gulped and tried to relax. "Yes?" I reply. "I need to tell you something, but I don't know if I can tell you or not," he replies. "You can tell me, Jack. It's okay," I say backing off of his chest and looking him in his beautiful blue orbs. A smile spreads across his face but it's a nervous one, I can tell. "Well, Els, I lo—" he begins to say. "Aye, uh, Anna says she's ready to serve dinner, then we can dance again," Merida says from my door. Jack sighs and I try to ask what he was going to say, but he is already nearing my door. I guess whatever he would have to say needed to wait. But it did awfully sound a lot like he was going to say "I love you". Was I right, or was I just dreaming?
Narrator:
"Oh, so little Jack Frost has found the love of his life, has he?" an Australian accent spoke within the depths of a cave. Coming out of the shadows, he revealed his identity. Pitch Black. A black nightmare horse flew around his neck and Pitch pet it like a pet cat. "Yes, but wait. Do I smell fear within this true love?" Pitch ask sarcastically. He was looking in a globe that showed what people were doing currently, and right now, he was watching Jack and Elsa. "Oh, I see, they each are too afraid to share their feelings. Hmm…even the queen is scared. Well, I've tortured her before with her powers, why not again? But let's make it hard on both and have a little fun," Pitch laughed mockingly. His evil voice wrung throughout the black, dark cave where only he felt important. "Welcome to your new nightmare, snow queen."
A/N:
Hi! So this chapter took a while to write. I got some ideas from different fanfics from different sites and used them here but that was only twice. I got the idea of Jack and Elsa floating while dancing from one fanfic I read, I believe it was called Just a Kiss (it was actually a jack frost x reader fanfic) and btw, it was great! So hey Jack Frost fangirls, go read it! Hehe! So, author of that fanfic, if you're reading this, I just want to thank you for the idea and that you inspired me to make this! ;) Also, I saw a fan made jelsa movie poster thing and it had what I wrote for Pitch's last line in this fanfic so thank you creator for also giving me inspiration! And I may switch from Jack or Elsa's POV to just the narrorator telling the story at some points in the series like I did here, just so you know. And whenever you see italics and the character responding to the italics, it mean they're mentally talking to themselves. Example:
Eat the ice cream…
No, no I already had some
Come on…
Nope…
You know you want to…
OKAY FINE!
Kinda get the idea? I just felt like explaining a little just in case you were confused! Anyway, please comment below and tell me how you like the series so far! Also follow and I will try to follow you back! If you have any story suggestions, please feel free to comment some as long as they're appropriate and fit the story line! Okay, thanks everyone! 3
