So yeah, Basically Elsa is in reality, while she's in Fantasia, comatose. Anyway, that's all! Baiii~ *hugs n kisses from Elsa*
Chapter seven
Wonderland.
I woke up to the sound of Calypso's voice, I looked around and I was in a differently place, voice of people filled the room; one of the voices said: "Who are the quests that came here?" I turned my head around and everything seemed out of place. The walls were white, beds were placed horizontally, a machine of some sort was monitoring something, it showed green lines, going up and down then flat then up and down, and the pattern seemed to repeat forever. Calypso was wearing something I couldn't recognize… she was sleeping beside me, I moved a finger and she jolted awake.
"Elsa! Thank god you're awake!" Calypso said and stood up.
"Where am I? Where's everyone? Anna? Jack, where?" I asked frantically.
"Welcome to reality, year twenty-twenty two, Anna, Kristoff and Jack are outside, Pitch had kidnapped all of you, Death, Ivan and I managed to carry you, Anna, Kristoff, Jack, your cousin; Rapunzel, and Merida as well, the others…I'm sorry, Elsa…I'm sorry." Her voice cracked at her last words…no…no.
"We found you guys in prison cells, Pitch had dragged the others away…next we just heard wails of agony and…l-laughter, I'm sorry Elsa, I'm sorry."
"Reality? Twenty-twenty two?" I asked, with worry, and my voice cracking.
"This is where I live. And supposedly, this is where you'll know me the most. Do you want me to tell it right now? You know, to lighten up your mood and such." Calypso offered.
"Do tell me." I sniffed. The girl's lips curled into a smile and nodded.
"Okay, so…where do I go first? Let me just start it from the beginning." She said, I giggled.
"I was the youngest daughter of the Titans; Atlas and Thetys, they're like gods, I had four sisters, Clymene being the oldest, Asia being the second, Electra being the third, and me. Clymene was only my friend, Asia and Electra, well, despised me, they thought I was weak. They…ignored me, and you know. My father was evil at the time; I supported him in the last Great War, because of my love for him." Calypso inhaled deeply.
"The Olympian gods found it out, you know them, right," she asked, I nodded and she continued, "they put my father into a punishment, he lifted the weight of the sky, while I…I was imprisoned in a phantom island, cursed to stay there—forever, I was alone, I had no one, life there was…I couldn't even describe it. But a god, someone was assigned to keep an eye on me, Hermes was his name, he didn't judge me, he knew who I am, he was my only friend, but…the worst thing is…I was cursed to have heroes wash up on my island, I was forced to love them, but I really, really loved them, I wouldn't let them go, but they were forced to leave me with a broken heart."
Tears started to well in my eyes, if I couldn't stand shutting out Anna for sixteen years, what if it was…a very long time?
"How long were you…imprisoned? Cursed?" I asked her, my voice threatening to crack.
"A millennia…" She answered, silent tears falling from her kaleidoscope like eyes.
A millennia?!
"Continue, continue." I said my voice cracking.
"Until this one hero came, I was so naïve, I didn't know anything about true love…until now actually, anyway, his name is," Her voice cracked, "Odysseus, he had a family, I loved him so much, I couldn't just…let him go. I then detained him for seven years and that…ruined my reputation, Zeus ordered Hermes to tell me to release Odysseus, with a heavy heart I did…I was heartbroken, another millennia had passed, it was dreadful, I cried every other week, until…he came." She finally smiled, but this time her tears something different, they weren't bitter tears anymore; they were tears of happiness.
"Who came?" I asked, feeling sympathy for her. My eyes had betrayed me; tears had fallen down my cheeks.
"My prince, Ivan himself, it was so…I don't know, I can't even describe how…how I felt when I met him. He was so striking; he had this peaceful expression in his face when he had washed up on the shores of Ogygia; my island. He almost looked like as if he was an angel or something. When he woke up, it's…he's…he's just perfect, then again, I thought, I would lose him, of course. It took time for him to realize who I was then we talked about things, he said that maybe I'll hurt him or something, yes he judged me, we hated each other, but that mere moment lasted for minutes, when he tried to find me and comfort me, and actually tell his story and apologize, I was…falling for him, it was different, not like the feelings I had felt for the heroes prior to him, it was different, the feeling was almost like…magical, there was something in him that the other heroes didn't have, until now I don't really know he was just…different, and that night he finally said that he's in love with me, I confessed as well and shared our first kiss. I asked him when he was going to leave, he said a week or so, but…there was a catch. He's going to…take me with him. The thought was impossible, but he just said that…it's possible. I didn't argue, and then…that's how my new life started. After a week, he just spread his wings, took me by the hand then flew away…I was finally out of my island, just like Rapunzel's story, a beautiful stranger, tall and fair, coming in and saving you from such fate."
Calypso finished, crying while smiling.
"Until now," she began again, "I don't even know why he took me with him, loved me even, it was so impossible for someone so…perfect…so…good to love a monster that was imprisoned and supported her evil father." She looked up and a surprised expression settled on her face like a bird, landing on a branch.
"I was here for the whole of the time," Ivan smiled, "You'll find it out soon, you still remember that? I was just…fifteen at the time, and you were fourteen!"
"Wait…so…that was…you two have been together for seven years?! Wow…I guess…true love does exist."
"Yeah, we're not even married yet, anyway, Caly, Jack wants to see Elsa."
"I gotta go, queen." Calypso stood up and waved, Jack came in next.
"Elsa!" Jack rushed to me and gave me a bear hug.
"Careful…Pitch…bruised my sides…" I managed to whisper. Jack chuckled and let me go.
"You can stand, my queen." Jack detached the things that were attached to my body and helped me stand up.
I stumbled and giggled, my hand, clutching my right ribcage.
"C'mon, I wanna show you something." Jack carried me and brought me to a large indoor garden.
"Wow…this…this-this looks like a plantation! Strawberries, raspberries, grapes on the left, blueberries…wow…w-who owns this?" I stammered and looked around Calypso and Ivan were kneeling on the dirt, basket in each hand and filling the baskets with blueberries and strawberries, they giggled when their hands made contact, a look of adoration and pure love was evident in the lad's face.
"Caly, look at this," he picked up a strawberry with his mouth and played with it, "huh? Huh? Look at this." Calypso giggled and slapped him playfully.
"Stop playing with my strawberries!"
"No." The lad answered, his lips forming into a goofy grin.
"At least share with me!" Calypso shouted indignantly with a playful voice.
"No." The lad answered again, his grin growing bigger. I sighed and smiled, I wish Jack and I could be happy like them.
"Fine, you wanna play dirty? I'll play your game." Calypso said then kissed the lad. Ivan was suddenly taken by the girl's action and gave in. The girl bit the strawberry in half, pulled away smiling and chewed on it.
"Clever girl, oh, look! Jack! Elsa!" The boy exclaimed, Calypso turned around, her cheeks puffed like a chipmunk; she waved then swallowed the fruit.
"Hey! C'mon here guys!" Calypso offered, gesturing us to come over. I dragged Jack playfully and sat beside Calypso and Ivan.
"Feeling better now, Elsie?" Calypso smirked; I blushed then buried my face onto Jack's chest.
"Yes." I said, my voice muffled by this hoodie.
"Aphrodite's magic," the girl waggled her fingers, "anyway, if you want, you can pick some of the fruits, Elsie and Jack." She smiled then offered the baskets.
I took one, jogged to the vineyard and picked the grapes while Jack picked the strawberries.
"Are you gonna race later? Or use the PlayStation?" Ivan asked Calypso, the girl nodded, I shrugged and continued harvesting the grapes.
"I'm gonna use the console, and I think I'll also use the guitar later? Have recording with Apollo." Calypso replied with a nonchalant voice.
"Ares has a new car for you, and I'm pretty sure Anna, likes fast. You might wanna take her." The lad said with a wisp of enthusiasm.
Anna…
"Um…where's Anna anyway?" I turned around and asked; the couple turned around to face me.
"She's with Hephaestus, probably taking a look at the supercars, you know, it is nineteen twelve in Arendelle right," He asked, I nodded, "Well, these cars…some of them reach up to a hundred miles per hour, or even two hundred."
"Cars haven't been introduced in Arendelle, but…that's ridiculous! Two hundred?!" I exclaimed.
"Yup, two hundred, I drive some of those." Calypso said then smirked.
"I love fast." Calypso said with a devilish grin.
I just giggled then continued picking the grapes.
After harvesting, I saw my sister looking very, very excited; she was bouncing up and down with a man following her, he looked like at the age of forty, he had a beard that seemed to emit flames, a heavy build, and his eyes seem to have flames dancing in them, he had a tank top, jeans, a towel slung across his left shoulder, and he carried a toolbox with his right hand.
"New supercar available for you, Calypso. As for this young lady," He patted Anna's shoulder with his big, calloused hands, "She will be having her first car soon. Calypso you are to instruct Miss Anna Lockhart how to drive. Drive a supercar to be exact."
"Sure Hephaestus, what car will she be using?" The girl asked, smiling at my sister who had this excited grin plastered on her face, she looked like a caffeine addict!
"McLaren mp4-12c, manual." Hephaestus nodded as Anna looked at him with her smile, growing into a toothy grin.
"Okay," Calypso giggled, "C'mon, feisty pants, oh and, Ivan, will you race with us on the track later?" She slung an arm on my sister's back, cocked her head around to look at her boyfriend.
"Sure. I'll be using my Corvette," the lad nodded, "Elsa, what'd you say we beat the two girls, hum?"
"Why not? I haven't had a fun in days, sure." I agreed and smiled, the boy smiled then nodded.
"I shall be the referee then." Hephaestus offered, laughing with his big, burly voice.
"Really, and hopefully miss Anna learns how to drive, she seems like she's the type, what about you, Miss Elsa?" The man asked with a smile.
"I'll try, but I'm not as devilish as Calypso, let alone my own sister." I said with a sheepish smile and blushed.
"C'mon, I know you can do it." The lad gave my shoulder a tap and smiled; we excited out of the mansion/manor and took a stroll to the woods.
"Wow, this is so…nice, and amazing! I mean…wow…trees are lush, the sun's heat is perfect and…whoa, what is that?" I pointed to a structure that was suspended on a tree, it looked like a tree house, but does someone live in the woods?
"Oh, that, it's Calypso's gift for me last year, she made a replica of her tree house back in her island; Ogygia. Pretty awesome, huh? Hermes actually taught her architecture and stuff." He said with a genuine smile plastered on his face.
"So, you mean to tell me that, her friend actually taught her things from the outside world?" I asked, and went to the said treehouse, admiring its beauty.
"Yup." The lad simply said, nodding.
I smiled then I went inside the treehouse.
*On Fantasia*
I was crying when I had Elsa on my arms, bruised, bleeding, and worst of all…she had been comatose, thanks to Pitch's kick on her neck that shut down her brain completely, Jack was at the right hand side of Elsa, holding her hand, while her sister; Anna, sat on the edge of her bed, wailing. No one was allowed to go in her chamber; everyone was out in the halls, mourning as well.
"If we just had been faster…we could've saved you." I whispered.
"I don't know if you can hear me but," I paused, "I love you…" I said in a barely audible voice.
"It's my entire fault." Jack whispered in a weak voice, tears shining in his icy blue eyes, I almost said that it was mine; but Anna intervened.
"It's no one's fault, Jack…no one. W-we all…failed. We failed her. She trusted us. And we failed her…"
"You guys go…they need you more," I said, "I'll take care of Elsa, I'll stay here…until she wakes up." I offered, my tears falling on her bruised cheek.
When the two left, I hugged the snow queen, who was once beautiful, cunning, amazing, and modest, now broken, miserable, and who knows? She might never wake up…never.
"I love you, Elsa!" I wailed then hugged her tightly, hoping that she could hear me.
I was so stupid, I could've protected her, but I just-just stood there, stared at the King of Nightmares kidnap my love, and then do the unspeakable. I could've saved her…I could've.
I could've…
Don't leave me, please.
I might be a stupid goddess.
A monster.
A failure.
Broken and miserable.
But You're the only thing that I have.
I will not let go.
Love will thaw.
