Chapter 13
Jack's POV
The sun came up and it was a new day. "Christmas is here!" I yelled in excitement as I ran to Elsa's room to wake her up. "Elsa! Psst! Elsa!" I said as I attempted to wake her. She groaned. "Just 5 more minutes," she mumbled as she snuggled deeper into the blankets. "No, no more minutes of sleep. We can't waste a single second. It is Christmas which means we have big plans for today and you need to get up so we can start on those plans" I said. Elsa's eyes fluttered open. Her beautiful blue eyes looked around the room and then landed on me, when they did, she smiled. "Merry Christmas Jack," she said with her angelic voice. "Merry Christmas Elsa," I said as I bent down to give her a kiss on her forehead. Both of us blushed bright red. "Get up and ready and then meet me outside," I said and then walked out.
Elsa came out and my heart leaped when I saw her. She was wearing a dark blue dress with sparkles on it that looked like stars. It had one long and loose sleeve and went down to her knees. Her hair was still a bit dark with a white strip, however, it was down and pinned in the back. It was wavy and looked as if it was made of golden silk, almost like how you would imagine ambrosia looking like. She was absolutely stunning and seemed to light up the room. I smiled and held my hand out to her. She took it and we began walking towards the balcony. "You look absolutely gorgeous," I told her. "Thank you," she said as she blushed.
"So what's the plan?" she asked. "Well, the Guardians are having a party until sunset so I figured we would hang out with them for Christmas. Then we could watch the sunset and stargaze. Then look at the Christmas lights. After that, it's present time." I said. Her face fell. "What's wrong?" I asked worried. She shook her head. "Nothing, it's just…." She trailed off. "Just…" I copied. "I feel bad because I didn't… get you anything… for Christmas… or your birthday…" she said as she fidgeted with her hair. I chuckled. "That's alright, I didn't expect you to give me anything. And like I said, I don't even remember the exact day my birthday is on, plus I missed yours so it's ok," I said. "Are you sure?" She asked. I nodded. "Being able to hang out with you on Christmas day is the best present I could ask for," I said. She blushed.
"You ready?" I asked. She nodded. "Hold on tight," I said as we flew off. I don't know why, but for some reason, on Christmas day, the world is just so much brighter and happier. Today was going to be perfect, I can feel it. I watched as Elsa looked around us. Taking in our surroundings and the beauty of the world on Christmas day. I smiled while watching her. She was truly special.
We landed at the workshop and headed to the party. When we got there all the Guardians turned their heads towards us. "Elsa!" They all said excitedly.
Elsa's POV
When we got to the shop, all of the Guardians surrounded me. "Elsa!" They all said excitedly. I smiled in return. "Hey guys," I said. "We haven't seen you in forever! Last time you just ran off," Tooth said. "Oh, yeah. Sorry about that, it was just hard for me, you know?" I replied. "It's ok, we understand dear," said Mary. I smiled. "So, are we gonna celebrate or what?" Bunny asked. "Oh, so now you like Christmas huh furball?" Jack said with a smirk on his face.
Bunny smiled, "No, I just want to celebrate now so that way we can leave early and I can work on the more important holiday." North's face turned red. "Oh you take that back Bunny," he said as he began walking towards Bunny and Jack. The three of them began arguing while Tooth, Sandy, Mary, and I went to go get some food.
"So Elsa, how have you been?" Tooth suddenly asked. "I've been ok. It's a bit weird without my powers. I never really realized how much I loved them until they were gone," I replied. "I understand. I don't know what I would do without my powers," Tooth said. "You people and your powers. You know, powers aren't so great when you think about it. You don't get to experience all of the hard labor that comes with being human," Mary said. Tooth and I giggled in return.
The party went on and the music continued to play. Laughter being a comment sound throughout the day. We talked and ate and danced. Jack insisted that I dance with him. It was perhaps the best Christmas I've ever had. And it's still not over yet. Once the party ended, Jack brought me back to the castle.
"I have something to give you," he said as he rubbed the back of his neck. He went into his pocket and pulled out a box which appeared to be made of ice. "I ummm...here," he said as he handed me the box. I took it and looked at him skeptically. He had a nervous look in his eyes.
I opened the box to reveal a beautiful pendant. It was made of ice and was a gorgeous snowflake which looked as if it was made of glass. On the snowflake was a little blue gem right in the middle. In the sunlight, the pendant shone a million different colors. It hung on a thin chain. So delicate and light. I was at a loss for words as tears of joy and just pure emotion brimmed from my eyes. "Jack," I gasped quietly.
"Do- do you like it?" he asked a bit shakily as he looked at my expression. The tears began falling. "I love it. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen," I said. He sighed in relief. "Oh thank goodness. I thought you wouldn't like it," he said as he relaxed. "Are you kidding me? This is the best gift ever," I squealed out.
He chuckled. "I'm glad you like it," he said. The smile on my face was this biggest it's ever been. He took the necklace and went behind me to clip it. My heart was pounding with pure happiness. "Did you make this?" I asked. He blushed slightly. "Yeah. I was thinking about what to get you. I looked out the balcony and saw the lake covered in ice. The sun was setting making the light reflecting off of it look so beautiful. Then a snowflake fell, and inspiration came." He said
Jack's POV
I was relieved to hear that Elsa liked my gift. Seeing that smile on her face was really the best Christmas gift I could've asked for. We sat on the balcony, just like always, watching the sunset and the moon rise. Elsa laid her head on my shoulder and all was perfect.
My heart was pounding in my chest and I prayed that she didn't hear it. We sat their for a while, like two lovers enjoying the romantic scenery. At last, the sky went dark and the moon arose and shone brightly. I felt Elsa yawn against my shoulder.
I looked down at her. Absolutely beautiful. "I think it's time we get you to bed, after all, I did wake you up early" I said with a smile on my face. She looked up and smiled in return. Her smile was brighter than the moon and her eyes reflected the stars above. "Thank you Jack. For everything. This was the best Christmas I've ever had. I've never smiled so much in my life and I'm so happy to have been able to spend it with you," Elsa said.
I felt the pull towards her once again. I began leaning in and she began to rise up. My heart was pounding in my chest and I couldn't help but feel excited about what might come next. We continued to lean in towards each other until our lips finally met. The moon seemed to shine brighter and I felt the air spark around us.
It was everything I imagined it to be like. Her lips were soft and warm, contrary to her powers. Emotion filled my heart and I felt like this moment was the happiest moment of my life. That was, until her lips became cold. I opened my eyes to see Elsa slowly pulling away. Her hair completely white and her lips turning blue. Her eyes were half lidded and I heard her take one last breath before she collapsed into me and froze.
Haha another update! Honestly, I was going to end the story here with a happy ending, but then another idea came to my head and I was like "hey let's do this and make this story go on a little more." So tada! Hope you enjoyed!
