Chapter 5
Jack turned around and saw Elsa standing in the doorway with an angry look on her face. She was glaring at him with her arms crossed and waiting for an explanation as to why he came into this room but he stayed silent and just stared at her.
"I said, what are you doing here?" she repeated.
"I'm sorry, I was just looking for a room and got curious when I saw the statues."
"I don't like anyone coming into this room."
"I'm sorry, I'll get out."
He walked towards her until he was standing right in front of her.
"Again, I'm sorry for doing that."
Her look softened after that and she looked down.
"No, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled like that, it's just..."
"Hey, don't worry, I get it," he took her chin and made her look up at him. They both go lost in each other's eyes and just stayed like that almost as if hypnotized.
"Hello Elsa, hi Elsa's friend," that snapped them out of their trance and they quickly pulled away from the other and saw that Olaf was standing at the end of the staircase.
"Oh, hi Olaf, you're back sooner than I thought," she said and cleared her throat.
"I know, but it started to get too dark to play, and I wanted to see the pretty lights from the balcony."
"Oh, that's alright, and Olaf could you please show Jack to a room?"
"Of course! Follow me!" he said and signaled Jack to follow him before starting to walk away.
Elsa and Jack both chuckled. "Goodnight Snowflake," he said before following.
Elsa saw him walk away before she went into the room; she walked towards the statue of her and the girl and touched the girl's face as a tear fell down her face, "I miss you so much."
"Was Elsa showing you her statues? They are beautiful, right? I like them a lot, Sven's might be my favorite, did you like it? It looks exactly like him."
Jack just stared at Olaf, who hadn't stopped talking since they began to walk.
"Um, she didn't rally show them to me, I was just looking around."
"Oh, that's alright, but did you like them?"
"Yeah, they were great."
"I know, they look exactly like them- Oh look!" he ran to the balcony and pointed to something in the sky, "The sky's awake!"
Jack approached the balcony, "You mean the Northern lights?"
"Yes, Elsa and Anna always loved to look at them."
Jack, once again, heard that name but this time wondered if she could be the girl form the statue. Who was she? Why was she so important? What happened that Elsa didn't want to talk about?
"Oh, I just remembered!" Olaf interrupted his thoughts. "I was supposed to show you to a room. Come on!"
He took Jack to a door near the balcony and told him that would be his room. "Goodnight Jack!"
Jack went in and saw that it was just a simple bedroom and like the rest of the castle everything was made of ice. He went to the bed and it was surprisingly warm and soft even if it was also made of ice and snow. He lied down on it and while he waited for sleep to come he couldn't help but think about Elsa; she was so different and amazing, but she was also mysterious and he could see that she was hiding something.
Morning came and they were all woken up by the sunlight reflected on the walls. They came out of their rooms and made their way downstairs.
"Good morning," Theo greeted sleepily.
The rest just ignored him, too tired to respond, and as soon as they reached the bottom they saw the Snowgies making their way towards Elsa.
"Those little guys never leave you alone, do they?" asked Bunny and then he noticed something, "Wait, where are my boomerangs?" and he saw some of the Snowgies playing with them "Oi! Give them back!"
The others laughed at the sight of Bunny chasing the Snowgies until they started to play tricks on them too.
After dealing with the Snowgies, which took them a while, Elsa led them to some kind of living room so that they could talk without interruptions.
"Okay so, what's the plan?" Bonnie asked as she sat down.
"Well during the night I remembered something," Tooth said.
"What was it Tooth?" North asked.
"Elsa you said that something similar happened before, to someone named Anna."
At this everyone turned to look at Elsa who was looking down with a sad expression on her face.
"Yes, I did," she answered.
"Who is Anna?" Sandy wrote.
"Someone I knew, a long time ago."
"That could be useful, if we know what hap-"
"No!" Elsa yelled interrupting what Theo was saying.
"Elsa what is it?" Jack asked, concerned.
"Guys, the trolls already told us what we need to do, but that's not what's important now. Pritch has Jane and who knows what she could be doing to her! We need to focus on saving her!"
"Elsa we understand that-" Nora started.
"No, you don't understand!" with that said Elsa stormed off.
Everyone was surprised by her outburst, since they had never seen her like that. Nora, Theo, Sandra and Bonnie exchanged concerned looks.
"Maybe someone should go and talk to her," Tooth suggested.
"I'll go," Jack said and left the room.
He went up the stairs having an idea of where Elsa could be, and as he approached he could see that the door was left ajar and the closer he came he could hear Elsa's voice but couldn't understand what she was saying. He reached the door and was about to knock when he heard her voice again and realized she was singing, he looked inside and saw that she was kneeling in front of the statue of the girl.
"Sadness swirls within me like the snow
I've lost the only friend I've ever known
There's no way I can win
But I wish that I had been there for her long ago.
Life's too short
To be such an oblivious fool
So scared that I couldn't see
Life's too short to be so scared of love
That I only ever thought of me.
I wish I saw things clearly
I guess I'm just not the sort
Now all I know
Is life's too short."
By the time she finished she had broken down in tears, and Jack had walked towards her and she didn't notice. He sat down next to her and that was when she noticed he was there but didn't say anything; Jack put an arm around her shoulders to comfort her and she leaned her head on his shoulder, after a while she stopped crying but neither of them moved away; they just stayed like that for a moment without saying anything.
"How much did you hear?" she asked.
"I heard you singing," he said, "That's Anna, isn't she?"
"Yes."
He stayed quite for a while until he decided to say what he had been thinking.
"She was your sister, wasn't she?"
She didn't say anything just stared at the statue and after a few seconds nodded.
"My younger sister," she hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Did you, um, have any siblings?"
"A little sister, Emma."
"Do you miss her?"
"For a long time I didn't even know I had a sister but yeah, I do miss her."
"I know that feeling, I miss her more than anything. She was the most important thing in my life," she paused, "And Jane just reminds me so much of her that-"
"It feels like you are losing her all over again," he finished for her.
"Pitch mentioned two people when we were at Jane's house."
"Jaime and Sophie."
"I'm guessing one of them is..."
"Jaime was my first believer and he's like a little brother to me, just like Jane must be for you."
Elsa didn't say anything, just smiled and leaned her head on his shoulder, and Jack could feel his face blushing.
"Thank you," she said, which surprised Jack.
"For what?"
"For making me feel better," she looked at him and stood up, "We should go back," she helped him stand up and then they headed downstairs.
