Chapter 12
Jack's POV
The sun came up and I finally finished Elsa's birthday and Christmas present. I made an ice casing around it and then put it in my pocket. I hope she likes it. Christmas is tomorrow and she needs to be happy. I walked to her room to find her asleep on the ground against a wall. Why was she against the wall? Did she not make it to the bed? I noticed that some more of her hair had turned white. Not a good sign. She also looked a bit paler,, almost sickly.
"Elsa," I whispered as I shook her. Her eyes fluttered open. When she saw me, she smiled, I smiled back. "Good morning sleepyhead." I said as I helped her up. "Morning," she said. "Are you ready to decorate?" I asked. She nodded and went to her closet to get some clothes. I walked out to give her some privacy.
"Hey Olaf," I said as I saw the snow man. "Oh, hi there, I don't believe we've met," the snow man said. Oh right, I guess we never really have been introduced. "I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs," Olaf said as he walked up to me and opened his arms out for a hug. "I'm Jack, Jack Frost," I said. Olaf gasped. "Oh my gosh! The Jack Frost!" he squealed. "The one and only," I said as I smirked. "It's so nice to meet you!" he said as he shook my hand rapidly.
I chuckled, "it's nice to meet you too," I said. "So Jack Frost, what are you doing here?" Olaf asked. "Oh, Elsa and I are going to decorate the castle for Christmas, would you like to help?" I asked. He nodded his head eagerly. Then he ran past me.
"Good morning Elsa!" he said as he gave Elsa a hug. She laughed and returned his hug. I wish I could be Olaf right now. "Morning Olaf, I see you've met Jack," she said. Olaf nodded. "He told me that we're decorating for Christmas," Olaf said. Elsa nodded. "So, where do we start?" Elsa asked. "How about we get a tree," I suggested.
"Sounds good," Elsa said. "Olaf, while we're out getting a tree, why don't you stay here and find some ornaments," Elsa said. Olaf nodded and walked away. "So, where are we going to get the tree?" Elsa asked. "Well, we are in the mountains where there are many many trees," I said. "We're cutting our own?" she asked. I shrugged. "Why not? I feel like that's something every person should experience at least once in their lifetime," I said. She nodded. "Ok then, let's go," she said as she began walking.
I smiled, flew, and then picked her up, zooming out of the castle. "Oh my goodness! Jack!" Elsa said as she held on tight. "What? You've flown before," I said. "Yeah, but we weren't going this fast. And I knew we would be flying," she yelled. I slowed down, "Ok ok, is this better?" I asked. She nodded. "Sorry, I thought it would be fun," I said. "It's fine, just, it was unexpected." she said.
We landed in the forest and began looking around for the perfect tree. In all honesty, they kind of all looked exactly the same. I heard a gasp and looked towards Elsa's way. "This is the perfect one," she said. I looked and saw a what she was referring to. It was smaller than the other trees, but not too small. It was a very beautiful and calming shade of green with slight frost on it. It truly was perfect. "I cam and used my ice to slice the trunk. Elsa went to the stump which still remained on the ground.
"Thank you for the tree," she whispered to it. It was strange really, but I don't judge. "We flew back to her castle, the wind carrying the tree behind us. When we got to the castle we saw Olaf with a box of ornaments and lights. "I found the stuff," Olaf yelled.
I set up the tree and we began decorating. I hung up the lights onto the walls of the castle and then began helping Elsa and Olaf with the ornaments. Finally, I lifted Olaf up so he could put the star on the tree. Everything looked magical.
"I'm so excited!" Olaf squealed. Elsa and I laughed at his enthusiasm. Once we finished decorating, we decided to go outside and play in the snow.
Elsa's POV
After decorating, Jack, Olaf, and I went outside to play around in the snow. We had an epic snowball fights like the ones before. Of course, I won. It's kind of sad that I can still win against Jack even though I do not have my powers. We laid in the snow breathing heavily, making snow angels. Once we finished, Jack looked over to me.
"So, how about some ice skating?" he asked. I smiled and stood up. "Let's go," I said as I began running towards to lake. "First one there is a rotten egg," I yelled out of excitement. I haven't had this much fun in a while. I heard Jack laughing behind me.
I got to the lake and cheered! "Haha! I won!" I screamed as I twirled around. "Wait for me guys! Geez, I'm so out of shape," Olaf said when he got there. "Where's Jack?" I asked Olaf. Olaf looked around. "Hm, I don't know, maybe he took a different route," Olaf said.
Hmmmm that doesn't seem right. I looked around some more and tapped my chin in thought. Suddenly I felt a pair of hands grab onto me and lift me up into the air. I screamed at the top of my lungs as I watched the ground get further away.
I heard laughter from the capturer and automatically knew who it was. "Jack! Put me down!" I screamed. "Awww c'mon this is fun" he laughed. "Maybe for you, but for me, it's dangerous," I said. "Don't worry Elsa, I would never let you fall," Jack said. "I'm not sure if I believe you," I said jokingly. Forgetting that we were many feet from the ground. "Oh, that hurts," he said, feigning his pain as he held onto his chest with one hand, holding me close to him with the other. "You are the spirit of mischief and fun," I explained. "True, but I would never drop someone on purpose," he said. "I don't know," I said. "Really? What reason would I have to drop you?" he asked. "I don't know. Maybe you want to dispose of me as soon as you could so that way you won't have to worry and take care of me anymore," I suggested. The thought of him not being by my side made me sad, but I tried not to show it.
"Elsa," Jack said softly. For some reason, hearing him say my name gave me butterflies in my stomach. "I never want to lose you, and I would never try to hurt you," he said sincerely as he looked into my eyes. "I don't want to lose you either Jack," I said, without thinking. He smiled. "Good, because you're stuck with me," he smirked. I smiled. Stuck isn't the word I would use. More like blessed to have him, but of course, I didn't tell him that.
We landed back onto the ground and began skating. It began snowing as the sun began setting. Olaf skated around and Jack and I danced. The snowflakes twirling around us. Laughter filled the air and my heart raced. So, this is what true happiness feels like.
The moon came up and our dancing slowly decelerated. "Thank you, for the dance, " I said. "My pleasure," Jack said with his usual smirk. "I guess we should head back," I said. He nodded and began walking towards Olaf. He took my hand and then Olafs.
When we got back to the castle, Olaf bid us goodnight. "So, I know this is a touchy subject and all, but I can't help but be curious," Jack began as we sat down on my bed. "What do you think is going to happen to Olaf and Marshmallow?" Jack asked. "Also, your ice castle and pretty much everything you've created." Jack stated. I thought about it for a second. "I've thought about this before. They didn't disappear when I first died, but I think that's because I was resurrected on the same day. As much as it hurts me to say, I think Olaf and Marshmallow would die along with me since my powers will be ineffective, therefore, they would lose their life force. As for the castle, I'm not quite sure," I said solemnly. "Are you going to tell Olaf?" Jack asked.
"I don't think I have the heart to," I began. "He's such an innocent snowman filled with laughter and joy. I don't think I can destroy that. Yet, at the same time, I feel as if he should know before the time comes," I said. "Maybe I could try and keep him alive," Jack suggested. "I'm not quite sure how that would work though," I said.
"I don't even really know how I got him to come to life in the first place," I said. "Oh," Jack responded. "Have you ever brought something to life?" I asked Jack. "No, not in the way you have," he said. I sighed as we sat there in silence.
"For now, let's not think about it," Jack began/ "Christmas is tomorrow and it's supposed to be a time of wonder and joy. So let's wait," he suggested. "Besides, you still have at least another week," he said. I nodded. If only he knew. "For now, get some shut eye. We have a big day planned for us tomorrow," Jack said as he tucked me in. "Good night Jack," I said. "Goodnight Elsa," Jack responded as he gave me a kiss on my forehead causing a blush to appear on both his and my face. He exited my room and that's when I felt another chill.
I look down at my feet, the tips we turned into ice and I could see part of my foot slowly turning blue and paler than the rest of my skin. I don't think I have a week,
That night, I dreamt of Jack and I. All of the fun we had and all of the happiness I felt. That was when I realized, I now know what love feels like.
Hey everyone! Long time no see...I guess it's not really see, more like read? Anyways, I know it's been a while since I updated, but like I've just been so busy with school and like life in general. I have been working on this story whenever I can though. What I find ironic is that I'm writing this story and yet English is currently my worst grade. I think it's actually the worst grade I've ever gotten in my life. But yeah...so I guess it makes sense that my writing is bad. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter. I really like the next chapter, but this one is okay too. Anyways, happy reading!
