Hopefully this update is good enough for you guys!
Elsa couldn't control her emotions, she embraced Jack, squeezing him tight, letting everything go that was weighing her down, the fight with Anna, the pressures of running Arenedelle , and anything else she couldn't handle. She cried into the crook of his neck, while jack wrapped his arms around her. His cold presence made Elsa feel right at home.
Elsa attempted to speak though tears.
"Jack, why did you leave? You never came back!" She sobbed out
He spoke softly. "I'm sorry Elsa, I'm so sorry, but I couldn't. I had to stay away."
"But why? Jack, things got so much worse." Her voice faltered and she let out a fresh new wave of sobs. She hated breaking down like this, but it was nice to just let everything go.
"If I stayed," He stopped.
"If you stayed, what?" I asked him, pulling out of the embrace now, wiping the streaks from my tears off of my face.
"Elsa, You don't understand how much power you had, how much you have. Me and you in the same place was dangerous, I couldn't come back till you had a better control over them." All Elsa could do was stare blankly.
"Jack, why was it dangerous?" She inquired.
Het let out a deep sigh. "Elsa, these powers, they come with a risk, a risk I've come close to many times." He stopped, looking around the ice palace. "If we push too hard, if we do too much, these powers, they will burn us out, and we will die."
"Die?" Elsa muttered to herself. That's impossible. "That's impossible, last year, I mean, when the coronation incident happened, I completely let loose, and nothing happened."
Jack chuckled a bit. "That's because you didn't use your powers for however many years, all you did was let all that pent up energy go."
Elsa pondered the thought for a second, and she realized he was right. There where times over the past year where Elsa had used her powers for extended periods of times, and after wards she always felt drained of life.
"But why did you have to go?! You could have told me Jack! You could have helped me!" Her voice broke, and she started to cry into her hands. "You where my only friend." She whispered.
A tear made it's way down Jack's face. "Elsa, for me to have been around you while you where so young, would have been dangerous. Being together, it draws out the potential of our powers, and being so young, your limit was way too low."
"What about now? I can handle it now, right?" Elsa asked hopefully.
Jack smiled from ear to ear. "I've missed you Elsa, and I'm not going to leave you again." He walked over and embraced her, swinging her around in his arms. Elsa couldn't help but hug back and giggle from joy.
The next few hours where some of the best of Elsa's life, Jack and her where just talking catching up on what's been happening the past few years. She talked about what happened at the coronation, building the ice castle, the incident with Anna freezing. She started to tear up a bit at that part. Jack wrapped a comforting arm her shoulder and she leaned into it, resting her head on Jack's shoulder.
They where siting on the balcony of her ice palace, watching the sunset. The sight was beautiful, and Elsa couldn't help but smile.
"I'm sorry I couldn't be there Elsa, when your parents died." Jack spoke quietly, looking in direction opposite of her.
"You're here now Jack, that's all that matters." Jack looked back over to her, and Elsa gave him a wide smile, letting him know how sincere she was, how happy she was that her friend was back. He smiled back at her, and Elsa felt like she could have stayed in that moment forever.
"I'll have to be leaving soon, it's getting pretty late, and I do have a kingdom to run." Elsa stated, rather sadly.
Jack nodded his head, but Elsa still had one more question to ask him.
"Where did you go?" She started. "I mean, when you never came back? What have you been doing all this time?" She inquired.
"I've been traveling!" He started, "I'm not the only spirit that's out there."
"Wait, spirit?" Elsa didn't know what he meant.
"Elsa, I'm the spirit of winter, and there's others like me." He said. His smile broke.
"Jack, what's wrong?" She wanted to help him, seeing him look so sad wasn't right, he always way too happy.
"Listen, you should get back to Arendelle, people are going to wonder where you ran off to."
"I guess you're right." She spoke distantly.
The two hugged goodbye, and Elsa made Jack promise to come and visit the castle sometime, she'd love for him to meet Anna. He brushed her off though. Saying that 'other people have a hard time seeing him for who he is.' It hurt Elsa a bit, but she acted like it was ok though, smiling. She told Jack to meet her up here at the palace again in a few days. They hugged goodbye, and Elsa started back to the kingdom.
Elsa arrived back at around an hour later. She was walking up to the front gates when she heard a voice call out to her from behind.
"Elsa! Hey! Wait up!" It was Kristoff.
She turned on her heel, she wasn't happy that he blabbed to Anna about the Hans thing.
"What do you want, Kristoff?" She snapped, a bit harsher than she intended, but she didn't care.
"I'm sorry about telling Anna, Elsa, but you guys needed to talk about this! It would kill her if you left without even telling her!" He persuaded. Elsa knew he was right, but she was still angry.
"That wasn't your choice to make Kristoff," She sighed. "But you're right. I'm going to go find her now, I hope she isn't too upset after our fight."
"Last time I saw her, she was in her room. She was crying Elsa." Elsa felt like crap now, she had successfully made her sister cry for the billionth time in their life.
"Thanks." She said flatly. She turned and started towards the castle gates.
She wondered around the halls, trying to find the right words to say, till eventually she decided to just go spur of the moment. She found her was towards Anna's room, knocking softly on her door.
"Anna, it's me Elsa." Now answer. "Please, can I come in, I just want to talk." She went to knock again, when the door swung open slowly. Anna was making her way back to her bed.
"What do you want, Elsa?" Her sister snapped.
"I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about the trial, but I didn't want to hurt you."
Anna let out a sarcastic laugh. "Hurt me? Not telling me is exactly the thing that did."
Elsa walked over to her sister. This whole thing made her feel horrible. They had finally been living normal lives, and here Elsa was, lying to her, shutting her out again.
"I was just trying to protect you." She whispered.
"And look how well that worked last time!" Anna yelled, a bit harsh. Elsa lowered her head. staring at the carpet, trying to avoid Anna's sharp gaze. She heard Anna sigh and shuffle over. She wrapped her arms around Elsa.
"It's ok Elsa, just please, next time talk to me about this." She reassured. Elsa simply shook her head, and embraced Anna back. The younger sister pulled back.
"So, let's talk. Tell me about the trial." Anna stated.
They talked for around an hour about what was going to happen. Hans was getting charged with attempted murder and treason. His sentence was going to probably come out to be life in prison, but depending on the mood set of the jury, he may get charged to death.
Anna looked pleased with that info. "Good." She said flatly.
Elsa thought about this. She would never ever wish death upon anyone, but Hans.
If it happens, it happens, if not, then at least he'll suffer in prison. No one hurts my sister and gets away with it.
After that discussion, Anna decided to get some sleep, and Elsa agreed. She was exhausted after this long day.
Elsa made her way to her bedroom. She did a quick change into her sleeping attire. She lied down in the bed, smiling. For once, everything was going right. Her and sister where on good terms again, her childhood friend was back, and nothing could bring her down.
Elsa's grin faltered. Something felt wrong. She bolted up right, noticing a strange, person shaped shadow on her wall.
Then came a smooth, commanding, yet familiar voice, lulling her into sleep.
"Give in to the fear, Elsa. Give in."
I think the first two where better, but, I don't know unless you guys leave reviews!
