Chapter 19
Jack's POV
I got into the workshop to see the other Guardians had gathered already."What's going on?" I asked when I got there. North's face held shock. "Manny has just spoken...Elsa's alive!" he said. "Really!?" I said, a little too excited. Everyone nodded. I thought back to the girl whom I had just seen, "where is she?" I asked. No one answered, my smile went away. "We don't know where she is. All we know is that she is alive." Tooth said. "Oh," I replied. "I'll look in my records, search for anyone named Elsa" North said. I nodded. "Don't worry Jack. We will find her,"
All the Guardians headed to their respective places. I couldn't stop thinking about the girl I saw today. Could she be Elsa? Is Elsa human now? Will she remember me? All of these questions and no answers. I guess I'll have to pay the girl a visit tomorrow. Tomorrow would've been Elsa's birthday. I hope we're able to find her soon so that I won't have to spend another Christmas alone.
Wherever she is, I will find her. No matter what it takes, I will find her and protect her.
Today would've been Elsa's birthday. I will always remember this date. Normally on this day, I would continue with my job and then sit on the hill in which we sat on and just dream about her. Her smile, her beautiful eyes, her angelic voice, everything. Today, however, the wind had other plans. It flew me back to Arendelle to an outdoor ice rink.
"Why did you bring me here?" I asked to no one in particular. People were skating around and having fun in this cold winter weather. I looked around, trying to see why the wind would bring me to a place like this. And then I heard something that made my heart stop. "Come on Elsa!" I heard a girl call. "Hold on Perri, I'm coming," another voice said. The voice in which I have longed to hear for years. "You're going so slow," the girl said. The laughter I have missed so much filled the environment. "I'm here now, happy?" Elsa said. "Finally," the other said.
I turned around to see the girl I saw yesterday skating alongside her friend. So it is Elsa. Do my eyes deceive me? Perhaps Elsa is just a common name nowadays. I continued to watch the girls skate around and do tricks. The sun was setting and they were still skating and laughing, just having fun on the ice. They looked like they were meant to be there, like it was home.
The girls joined up with a couple. The couple gave Elsa a hug and she smiled. They looked like one happy family. They all began skating out, but Elsa stopped and turned around. She was facing my direction but I was unsure if she could see me or not. Her eyes made contact with mine and my heart stopped once more. She gave me a small smile and then left. For some reason, I felt the need to follow them, and so I did.
I was lead back to the house in which I had visited yesterday. Inside I saw as everyone sat in the family room. The fireplace was lit as well as the Christmas tree and lights. Everyone was still smiling as bright as they were at the ice rink Someone said something and they all laughed. Elsa's parents went somewhere for a little while and that's when I decided to get closer.
Elsa and her friend were talking and although it's wrong to eavesdrop, I did it anyway. "My sister and her boyfriend are going out on Christmas so it'll just be my parents and I," said Elsa's friend. "That'll be a first," Elsa responded. "Yeah. Although, I wish I was her. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love my parents, but I just wish I had someone to spend my Christmas with," the girl said. "Am I not enough?" Elsa said jokingly. "You know what I mean," the other girl said as they both giggled.
"I know. I understand," Elsa said. "So what about you? You're not going to leave me for a guy are you?" the girl asked. Elsa choked on her drink. "Really Perri?" she asked as she got over her coughing fit. "What? I'm just saying. You know you could have any guy in our school. Everyone loves you and you know it," said Perri. That totally makes sense. After all, the Elsa I know is beautiful both inside and out, why wouldn't people love her. I guess all Elsa's are like that. But mine will always be special.
"While that may be true. I will not be leaving you this Christmas," Elsa said. "Oh come on! You don't like a single guy? Not even a little bit?" asked Perri. "Not really," Elsa began, "They're all kind of lame or weird."
"Don't you want love though?" Perri asked. Elsa stayed silent for a minute. "Well, of course I want love, but I don't want it to be forced. I prefer it to be true, to happen on it's own." Elsa said. "Wooow, girl, I think you've read way too many fairy tales," Perri said. Both girls laughed at this and it died down. "Yeah, maybe you're right," Elsa said quietly.
Suddenly her parents came back in with a cake. They were singing Happy Birthday as they walked over to Elsa and Perri. She shares the same birthday as my Elsa. This can't be a coincidence. This has to be my Elsa. Once the song was finished, Elsa closed her eyes, made a wish, and then blew out the candles. Everyone clapped and then dug into the cake.
Eventually, the day was up and Perri went home. Elsa's parents then chose to give her their present. They had gotten her a charm bracelet which contained a snowflake charm, a swirly heart, and her name. Elsa's eyes gleamed with joy. She gave her parents a big hug and I could just feel the amount of love radiating off of them. I smiled seeing this happy family. "We love you dear," her dad said. Elsa smiled, "I know," she said. "You were our little Christmas miracle. Our little snowflake," the mom said as tears brimmed her eyes. "I still am," Elsa said as she hugged her parents once more.
They then called it a night and Elsa headed up to bed. I was about to head out, but then I heard a voice. "Thank you," said Elsa. I turned around to see her looking at me. "A-are you talking to me?" I asked. She nodded. "Y-you can see me?" I asked. She smiled and nodded once more. "Jack Frost right?" she asked. I nodded. "Thank you," she said once again. "For what?" I asked. "For this wonderful day. You're the reason for the snow and ice that I enjoyed today. So, thank you," she said. I smiled. "You're welcome," I said. "Goodnight, Jack," Elsa said. "Goodnight Elsa," I replied. She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep. Some of Sandy's dream sand floated in and surrounded her. So she's still a believer.
The sand began to form into a couple. A girl and a boy. They were skating around and dancing, just like how Elsa and I used to. I smiled watching the figures. It was then that I saw the thing which ensured that she was my Elsa. Around her neck, she wore a necklace, but not just any necklace. It was the one which I gave her for Christmas before she died. "How can this be?" I whispered out. Shocked that I was in the presence of my Elsa. She's human now? How is this possible? What did Manny do?
"I have to tell North," I said as I flew out and headed towards the North pole.
As Elsa was sleeping, two figures appeared. One with dark crimson red hair and covered with a brown robe. The other slick pitch black hair shrouded in a gray robe. "What do we have here?" the gray robed one asked as he touched the golden sand, causing the image to take form of people being separated from each other until all that was left was a girl. "It appears our dear friend has brought her back," said the redheaded one. "I sense even greater power in her than before," said the black haired one.
"I feel it too," agreed the other."How about we eliminate her once again?" Both figures nodded and formed balls of their powers in their hands. The black one attacked first, only to be pushed back by some sort of shield "How is that possible?" the red one asked. The shield reinforced itself. And Elsa continued sleeping soundly. Unaware of her visitors. "If we cannot kill her, we should capture her, keep her away from the Guardians." the black one suggested.
"Agreed, keep her until we can find a way to get past this shield," the red one said. The black one was able to snatch her up into his arms, keep her asleep, and then disappear into the darkness.
Hello my lovely readers! I don't really know how long it's been since the last time I updated, but I figured that today I had time so why not. I've been really busy recently, and honestly life just keeps on giving me more and more stress. Im afraid that one day I might just snap from all of the stress that I have been going through. That's why I write a lot. Writing allows me to just share my thoughts, or get them out I should say. All of my ideas that I can't say out loud or talk to anyone about, I put in my drawings or writings. That's the beauty of art I guess. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I hope it's not too confusing or boring. Thanks for reading!
