The next day Elsa felt dizzy yet exhausted. Her body was weak from a night of no sleep what so ever not even a small 5 minute nap. She had no sleep, her energy was down. Just the thought that her dreams were a possible truth scared her. She didn't want to risk falling into another terrible nightmare. When Grumpy came in to give Elsa breakfast she noticed Elsa was low on energy but didn't bother asking how she slept or if she slept at all.
Throughout the day Elsa was too tired to even stand, most of the time she just sat there at her usual spot and when Grumpy came in with her meds she still didn't bother to stand. She didn't wanna nap cause she was afraid of the nightmares that waited for her so she forced herself to stay awake.
Not expecting any visits like usual someone walked in and Elsa couldn't even keep her eyes opened.
"Hey Elsa I just wanted to come in and chat for a bit, uh darling are you well?" The voice asked
Elsa forcefully opened her eyes to see Ginnie walking over towards her
"Oh hey Ginnie whats up" Elsa said as she somehow managed to sit up straight for a proper chat
"Elsa darling you're not well you can tell just from the looks of it, whats wrong?" Ginnie asked as she tilted her head in curiousness
"Oh you know one of those sleepless nights" Elsa said as she felt a yawn come in
"Well if that's the case then why don't you atleast take a nap?" Ginnie asked
"No anything but that please I don't want to see another nightmare there's got to be some other solution" Elsa pleaded as she rubbed her red eyes
"Well if it's nightmares you're scared of then here take this" Ginnie said as she pulled out some kind of peach colored pill
"Ginnie are you giving me drugs?" Elsa asked alittle scared
"Heavens no girl! this is an energy boost pill. I take them sometimes when I have sleepless nights mixed with busy days that don't allow me to take naps" Ginnie proclaimed handing the pill to Elsa
"how long does it last?" Elsa asked looking at the pill in curiosness
"For me 7 hrs for a girl your age 3-4 hours it all varies in age" Ginnie claimed
"well I'll take what I can get but I don't have water to take it with and if I touch it it'll freeze to my touch" Elsa claimed feeling another yawn come by
"They're chewable so there's no need for water and I can pop it in your mouth for you now open please" Ginnie claimed as she put a glove on just incase even though she hated putting on those expensive odd gloves
Elsa opened her mouth with no more hesitation as she felt Ginnie bring the pill close to her mouth then plop it was on her tongue the next.
"Mmm blueberry flavored" Elsa said as she chewed on the pill
"I can never take my medication if it has no flavor its just too plain and nasty in my case" Ginnie commented as she took the glove off
Elsa nodded in agreement "2 questions how long does it take to take affect also why do you take those gloves off you need them for a reason in this room did you never get told about-" Before Elsa could finish what she was saying she was cut off
"Jack yes i know dear but you panicked and it was simply a misunderstanding you were trying to defend yourself you never planned on hurting the little boy, oh and the pill takes effect in 5 minutes" Ginnie claimed
"It's like you know what I was thinking when it happened, you weren't even there so how do you know my thoughts" Elsa asked as she brought her knees in to hug them close
"If I were you I would've done the same thing it's just common sense for me" Ginnie said plainly as she shrugged her shoulders.
"anywho you came in here for something before you saw me exhausted, what was it?" Elsa asked as she tilted her head
"Well i came to say that I couldn't get the special permission for you to meet Jack but I found a way you can meet him, ever heard of video chats?" Ginnie asked
"I told you getting that special permission was impossible oh and i've lived my life in a chamber hidden from the world i Totally know what a video chat is" Elsa said with alittle sarcasm
"Hardie har har real funny, a video chat is pretty much what it sounds I'll bring in a computer attached to a tv screen so you can talk to him, there'll be one in his room too. Since he's like a mystery diseased boy he has no roomie he's got plenty of space for the same set It'll be like meeting him in person" Ginnie claimed with some excitement in her eyes
"Ok sounds good the only thing is there's a computer screen that stops us from actually meeting eachother but as long as no one is at risk of injuries then I'm cool with it Just a question how will I talk to him if my hands are um you know chained/cuffed?" Elsa asked
"Oh theres gonna be a time limit sadly but if all seems to go well I'll see if i can get your caretaker to give you a longer time period without the cuffs" Ginnie claimed
"Ok I'm actually looking forward to this. So do i get to keep the computer and screen in here?" Elsa asked as she obviously had plenty of empty space for a new feature to be added to the plaace
"Yes, you'll be able to change the password and username to your liking after we get you logged in" Ginnie said as she got up
"Where are you going?" Elsa asked as she saw Ginnie make her way towards the door
"why to get your video chat geer so you can meet him, the sooner the better oh and the you know what seems to be working I'll be back in a bit" Ginnie said with a smile from ear to ear as she disappeared out the door locking it behind her
So who is this Jack Frost gonna be? How old is he? What's to know about eachother? All the possible thoughts flew through Elsa's mind. What she was most looking forward to was the fact that she could talk to someone who was as they say close to being almost like her, also that she was finally going to be able to talk to someone without risking their lives with some mistake.
As she sat back on the ground she began to think how this Jack Frost gonna look. Did he have piercings of any sort. Was he short or tall? What his skin color would be. Hair color was it some wacky color like purple? His eyes were they asian shaped or randomly shaped? All weird sorts of thoughts came to her mind and all weird randomized looks were created but was she anywhere close to finding out how this boy would look across the screen.
she was about to find out.
Ginnie came back with the computer and tv in a rush. the tv was set on a wheely furniture cabnet with the computer plugged in and ready to go next to it. Ginnie came to Elsa with the key to releasing her hands for a limited amount of time. Before she let Elsa touch the computer she was handed a pair of teal gloves with a small white snowflake on the middle end.
"Wear these when you're gonna touch the computer or tv its just to prevent freezing anything" Ginnie said calmly
She showed Elsa how to log on and showed her everything she needed to know. how to link computer to tv screen. how to change the volume. how to change any sort of settings on her profile. how to minimize screens. how to go full screen. how to find the video chat page. everything was taught to Elsa like a little kid learning to ride a bike.
It was odd yet helpful. They were on the screen where it showed Jack's contact the mouse was over the video chat call button all she had to do was press it. Ginnie thought Elsa was nervous so she gave her a minute to breath. Really the one who was nervous and needed that minute was Ginnie not Elsa.
The button was pressed and the wait was on. Ginnie looked like she was going to pass out everytime the bubbled noise was heard from the dialing. Finally the dialing stopped Elsa's screen shrunk to a corner of the screen and the big screen now infront of her showed nothing. it was still loading, the service wasn't the best down in the chamber room but it was decent enough.
The screen finally loaded and it revealed the Jack Frost she's heard so much about. she was so wrong about him. He wasn't a little boy he was a teen just like her. He wasn't ugly he was actually good looking. He wasn't weird either. He was just a normal looking teenage boy. Well except for his hair, it was white like fresh snow, odd but it fit him well.
"Jack Jack can you hear me?" Ginnie asked as she waved her arms around
"Yes Ginnie I hear you can you hear me?" Jack asked
Ginnie didn't need to say a thing her smile was enough for a mute man to know she had said yes.
Jack chuckled a little bit at his caretaker.
"Jack this is the girl i've been telling you about Elsa this is Jack" Ginnie said as she pointed to Elsa then to Jack
"It's nice meeting you Jack" Elsa greeted as she waved
Jack was speechless
"Comeon now boy don't be shy, say something" Ginnie said getting Jack to atleast say hi
He couldn't even say the simple word Hi so instead he waved back with a nervous smile.
"I'm gonna leave you 2 to talk alone now, Elsa you have 1 hour bye you 2" Ginnie said as she waved then walked out locking the door behind her
"What's with a time limit? You under special care or something?" Jack asked
"Something like that, so why is your hair white snowman?" Elsa asked as she tilted her head
"Not a clue one minute its brown the next i wake up in the middle of a forest with white hair" Jack said trying to be alittle funny as he chuckled alittle at his responce
"so tell me about that? I've been told you have weird temp since you came in yesterday" Elsa said alittle curious
"Well you see it's hard to explain through a computer screen maybe sometime I'll tell you in person" Jack said as he sat down on his bed.
'That may not happen" Elsa said shrugging her shoulders
"why?" Jack asked
"Special care remember" Elsa said in a sarcastic tone
"oh yea, so whats up with that? Ginnie didn't tell me much other than the fact we could both be sick with the same disease which i highly doubt" Jack asked as he shrugged the last part out
"If you were here i'd tell you but nope." Elsa said as she sat down on her bed
"then I'll come see you, where's your room?" Jack asked getting up from his bed
"Can't tell you that, It's dangerous so please just believe me. anywho why do you doubt you're sick? Going through denial?" Elsa asked
"If this screen didn't split us i'd tell you why" Jack said sitting back down on his bed with a plop and a bounce. gosh that bed looked more comfortable than the one she had.
"well then we both got secrets don't we" Elsa said sarcastically
"guess so, throw that to the things in common bin" Jack said with a toothy grin as he pretended to throw something
Elsa rolled her eyes at his dorkiness yet it made him more attractive than he already was but she knew she wouldn't be able to keep a love life if he were to ever meet her i person which she highly hoped would never happen. She thought he was cute but she wasn't going to risk a fall in.
they talked with the remaining time they had. most of the time they didn't know what to talk about. This boy was new to the place and this girl had no clue what was out there. They would talk randomness sometimes. subjects like favorite color were chosen at times but they got to know eachother and it went well.
"you know its kinda funny the first night here i was scared to death with all this kids screaming i nearly escaped through my window but i didn't" Jack said laughing at himself
"what stopped you?" Elsa asked
"i honestly have no clue some sort of feeling that i should stay i guess" Jack said as he shrugged his shoulders
"hey Elsa how much time do we have left? you know before your limit is up?" Jack asked changing the subject out of curiosity
"10 minutes already wow that was fast" Elsa said as she looked at a 1 hour timer that was set on her computer before Ginnie walked out
"well then what to talk about now with such very little time left" Jack asked as he began to think
Elsa shrugged her shoulders
"Oh thats right I was supposed to discuss someting with you something about my symtoms i think" Jack said as he scooted closer to the computer screen to make his face look clearer and not pixelated much.
"oh yea that's right Ginnie told me about this. this was actually the whole reason to why she started this video chat in the first place" Elsa said with a small chuckle as she rolled her eyes
"well then let me think. honestly i don't feel anything at the moment other than a fast beating heartbeat" Jack said with a smirk on his face. Elsa rolled her eyes
"stop messing around and tell me your symptoms. come on if you don't i'll tell Ginnie you didn't co operate" Elsa claimed as she crossed her arms
"please don't do that she scares me sometimes" Jack said alittle nervous as he looked around to make sure she wasn't hiding somewhere in his room.
"then tell me Jack" Elsa said trying to hold back a laugh from his dorkiness
"ok i guess while we have the time remaining. So i have odd vitals every day that never stay the same. um my skin is cold and pale. I can stand freezing temperatures. I have random sleep comas the reason would be given to anyone but i rather not tell so for now its unknown. I feel normal but people freak out thinking i'm strange. thats all i know for now" Jack said
"Ginnie was right you are similar to me. heres what i deal with. Freezing temperatures don't affect me. I have below freezing temperature skin and yes i'm pretty pale. Ice used to surround my bed when i slept at night only when i was little. Random vitals every day. i too feel normal yet people used to freak out when i was little. theres more I'd tell you if you weren't across a computer screen" Elsa said looking down at her hands in the gloves Ginnie gave her
"So if we're similar should i be in special care too?" Jack asked concerned
"Depends. you said you highly doubt you're sick becuase of reason i dont know" Elsa said as she shrugged her shouders
before they could talk more her door opened and an alarm went off on the computer screen.
"Times up, back to your cuffs sorry Jack if she was any bit of trouble" Grumpy said as she followed Elsa
"What? Cuffs? Elsa-"
"Sorry Jack I gotta go bye it was nice talking to you" Elsa said as she moved the mouse to the hangup call button and hung up on him before he could say more.
She took her gloves off set them on the cabnet next to the computer and made her way back to her usual place she spent most of her day. Back in the cuffs. Back on the chains. Back to her everyday life. Grumpy locked them then made her way out locking the door behind her.
Elsa simply sat on the ground looking at the tv that was turned off. Jack looked familiar but she couldn't put her finger on it quite yet but the whole time they were speaking she had this feeling she saw him somewhere once she just couldn't remember. putting the thought aside, Elsa simply did what she usually did feel bored and hurt until food came to her by Grumpy.
