Chapter 14
Jack's POV
Elsa laid frozen in my arms. Completely made of ice now. No breathing, no color but blue. Dare I say it, but she still looked beautiful. At first I was shocked, I stood frozen, just like her. But then, I realized what had just happened and my world came crashing down.
"No, no, no, no, no. Elsa," I whimpered out as I looked down at her form. "Elsa!" I screamed as tears began pouring out of my eyes. "No this wasn't supposed to happen! Not this fast!" I said as I held her in my arms. "Elsa!" I cried out.
I sat there weeping, holding her tight in my arms. The clouds covered the moon and the sky no longer seemed as bright and beautiful. I continued to repeat her name. Pleading her to come back to me, but nothing happened. She just stayed frozen, unresponsive, and still. I cried the most I've ever cried that night. The sun rose signalling the morning. I had spent the whole night crying over my lost love.
I place Elsa in her bed and used my powers to put her body in a more comfortable position. The necklace I had given her still remained on her. Her hair still in waves behind her and her beauty still uncomparable. My eyes were dry from the loss of tears. I knew I had to tell the Guardians, but then another thought came to my mind: Olaf. I flew around to go find him. I went into his room to see a pile of snow surrounding a carrot, some coal, and some sticks. I bent down to them, "Olaf," I whispered out. "I'm so sorry," I said to the pile. I collected the snow and parts in a casket like box and closed the windows to his room.
I flew to the pole to tell North of the news. My heart hurt from this loss and I felt drained of energy. I flew into the shop and went to go find North. "Jack, what are you doing here?" Mary asked when she saw me. "Do you know where North is?" I asked without greeting. I had no happiness in me anymore. "He's in his office," she replied. "Is there something wrong dear?" she asked. I shook my head and headed towards North's office. I opened the door to find North, jolly as ever, humming a song and working on a new toy. "North," I said with a raspier voice than expected. "Oh, Jack! What brings you here?" North asked with a big smile on his face as he looked towards me. He saw my expression and his smile faded. "Jack," he said softly. "Call the Guardians," I said.
I waited for the other Guardians to arrive. I sat in the globe room and tried to prevent the tears from falling. This place reminded me too much of her. It was the first place I met her. When I first realized my feelings for her. All the Guardians came in. "Jack, what happened? What's wrong?" Tooth asked as soon as she saw me. "Hey mate, what's going on?" Bunny said. Sandy followed with a question mark. I took a deep breath and said the words I never thought I would say. The words which hurt so much I didn't even realize that I said them until I saw the look on the Guardian's faces, looks of distraught and sorrow.
"What do you mean she's gone?" North asked. "Please don't make me say it," I pleaded. "Jack, please. We know that Elsa meant the world to you, but we care about her a lot as well. We just want to know what happened," Tooth said with tears in her eyes. "Back at the battle with Pitch and Hate, Hate froze her heart. There's no cure for a frozen heart. The trolls had given else at most two weeks, but I guess their prediction was wrong, She's gone. She's frozen in ice. And it's all my fault," I said, choking on the last part.
Tooth and Mary both broke down into tears and I saw a tear escape from North's eyes. Bunny looked saddened as well. Sandy's face still contained shock, but then turned to a frown. More tears collected in my eyes as this all became a reality.
The Guardians and I later had a ceremony for Elsa. North had made her a little coffin thing. It was made of ice and had a clear lid so that we could still see her. It was surrounded by flowers and snowflakes and laid in the middle of her castle. Engraved on it was her name along with her signature snowflake. We laid her in it and said goodbye. The Guardians had all left by now but I remained, unable to say my last goodbye. I took the top off and caressed her cheek. Cold as ice. "I'm so sorry Elsa. So so so sorry," I said as I cried a little more. "I love you," I said after kissing her lips once more time and then putting the top back on. I went to the balcony, looked at her once more, closed the doors, and flew off.
Sorry for the short chapter. I'm hoping to make the next couple of ones longer in order to make up for this one. This chapter isn't very interesting, I kind of didn't know what to put for it, but if I just went straight ahead to the part in Chapter 15, then the story wouldn't really make sense. Or maybe it would. Who knows. Anyways, hope you enjoyed. You can anticipate the next chapter to come soon.
