Four Years Later
Jack sat on the window sill and watched a twelve year old Elsa pace back and forth in front of her parents. "I'm scared! It's getting stronger!" She gestured to her gloved hands. The king stepped closer to her and soothed, "Getting upset will only make it worse." "NO! Don't touch me, please. I don't want to hurt you." He recoiled as the queen put a hand on his shoulder.
"Sweetie just take a deep breath. Conceal," "Don't feel," Elsa breathed, wringing her hands. "Don't let it show." They all said together. Jack stood up and looked around the room. He hadn't visited her in two weeks, seeing that he needed to bring winter to the rest of the world, but had promised to come back as soon as possible. Elsa's room looked worse. Ice had consumed some items in the room and snow covered her bed in a fluffy dust. Spikes and shards of ice hung from the walls and ceilings. It was apparently cold because Jack noticed the king rubbing the queen's arms, who was shivering. But being Jack Frost, he couldn't feel it, apparently nor could Elsa.
"We'll let you rest." The queen said softly, opening the door. Elsa nodded and turned her attention to Jack. "Long time no see Princess." He grinned, an amused glint in his eyes. "Jack!" Elsa beamed, running and giving him a hug. "So, how was your trip?" Elsa asked, looking up at him. He patted her head and led her to the couch.
Not noticing the snow on it, Jack sat down and told Elsa about America, the last place he went to. "It's not far from here. Just South and you're there! Maybe I can take you someday." Elsa nodded, frowning. "What's up? Having you been getting nightmares again?" Jack asked, his eyes widening. Elsa gulped, wringing her hands. "Well...you see-" She was cut off by a knock on the door. Elsa stiffened. It was Anna again. Her nine year old sister was getting lonelier by the minute, which meant more knocking on Elsa's door.
"Do you wanna build a snowman,
Or ride our bike around the hall?
I think some company is overdue,
I've started talking to the pictures on the wall,
Hang in there Joan!"
Jack chuckled when Anna started talking to the painting, but stopped when Elsa elbowed him, frowning.
"It gets a little lonely,
All these empty rooms,
Just watching the hours tick by,
tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock."
Anna waited for a reply, but Elsa stayed silent, staring shamefully down at her hands. When she heard Anna sigh and walk away, she turned to Jack. "I feel really bad, but it's for the best right?" Jack nodded and squeezed her shoulder. "So, wanna have some fun?" Jack asked excitedly. "We could go ice skating, build an ice fort, sledding...you pick!" Elsa bit her lip and shook her head. "Jack, I can't. Conceal. Don't feel-"
"Don't let it show. Yeah, yeah, yeah I know. Elsa, if you don't let it go sometimes, you'll explode one day." Jack retorted, crossing his arms. Elsa sighed, knowing she wouldn't win this argument, and nodded. "Alright Jack. Let's have some fun." Grinning, Jack took her hand and pulled her to the window. "I don't think that anyone will miss you for a couple hours." Elsa grinned and held onto Jack for dear life. Jack pushed off the sill, causing Elsa to squeal. He took them higher and higher until the castle was just a dot below them.
"Jack this is amazing!" Elsa yelled above the roaring winds. He laughed and looked below, searching for their destination. "Where are we going?" Jack grinned at her and held a finger to his mouth. Elsa pouted and held onto Jack's neck tighter. "Here we are!" Jack cheered, landing on the snow. He set down the small princess and smiled as she looked around the wintry scene. Elsa walked over to the frozen lake, and poked it with her shoe. "Can we go ice skating?" Jack grinned and pulled her onto the lake.
"So where are we again?" Elsa asked, breathing heavily. Jack laid in the snow and looked up at the sky. "Burgess, Pennsylvania. For the past 300 years this has been my home." Elsa almost slipped when she sat down. Jack steadied her with an arm and let her talk. "300 years? Woah." Jack chuckled. "Yeah, I'm old huh?" Elsa shrugged and watched the snow fall down. "Do you have a family Jack?" She asked suddenly, slightly startling him. He turned onto his side, facing Elsa.
"Nope, just me."
"What? How's that even possible, I mean theoretically..." She frowned, trailing off. Jack chuckled and brushed it off. "Slow down Princess, I don't need a health lesson." Elsa stopped talking immediately, blushing. "All I remember is seeing the moon. I was here on the lake and I saw my staff. I kinda figured out my powers and the whole people-can't-see-me-unless-they-believe-thing as time went by. Which is nobody, except you of course."
Elsa smiled up at him. "I believe in you Jack. People will too, just you wait." Jack flashed her a grin, comforted by her kind words. "I should getting home soon." She commented, noticing the darkening of the sky. Frowning, Jack nodded. "I hope I can come back with you one day. I like it here." She said, trying not to offend him. "Thanks Elsie. I like it here too." He said, ruffling her hair. "Hey stop it!" She giggled, fixing her hair.
"Oh yeah?" Jack challenged, smirking. Elsa recognized that look and ran in the other direction. He pushed off the ground and went after the princess. "Where do you think you're going?" Jack conjured up an icy snowball and chucked it at the princess. "Hey! Oh it's on!" She taunted, creating a snowball the size of a bush.
Elsa chucked it with all her might, hitting Jack square in the chest, sending him flying backwards and onto the ground. "Does this mean I win?" She called, not able to see her friend. There was silence for about a minute, until a sound came from behind Elsa. She turned around and a storm of snowballs rained down on her. She fell to the ground and watched in awe. Jack poked his head from behind a nearby tree, grinning. "I win!"
Jack touched down softly onto the floor of Elsa's room, carefully. He set her down and leaned his staff against the wall."When's dinner coming?" Jack yawned, making Elsa laugh. "I dunno. It comes when it comes!" Jack furrowed his eyebrows. "What kind of answer is that?!" She shrugged and walked over to her bed, taking out book. "What's that?" Jack asked, scrunching his nose. "A book. Are you going to question everything until dinner comes?"
"I know what a book is!" Jack scoffed, crossing his arms, childishly. He plopped down onto the couch and watched Elsa read. She had the cutest facial expression when she was concentrating, he couldn't help but smile. She saw him watching and shot him a weird look. "What?" "Nothing. You look so cute when you're concentrating." Elsa opened her mouth to retort, but was cut off by the rapping at the door. "Your highness, your dinner is here." Throwing her book on the table near her bed, Elsa waited for the server to walk away, before opening the door and grabbing the tray.
"Finally! It took them long enough!" Jack joked, running to the "dinner table". Elsa playfully rolled her eyes and set the tray down. "You think you're hungry? I could eat a horse!" Jack laughed and flicked her forehead "You're hungry? I could eat a cow!" It was lucky that there was enough food for five. They both piled their plates up sky high. "Ready? One...two..three...GO!" Jack crowed, digging in, determined to beat the twelve year old. It was also lucky that Elsa's parents weren't there to see her eating very unlady-like.
Jack was finishing up his fourth chicken when he realized Elsa was licking excess mashed potatoes on her bare plate. "WHAT. How did yo-" Jack protested, food muffling his speech. Elsa giggled, sending Jack a triumphant grin. "You grabbed stuff that takes too long to eat! I grabbed stuff that was fast and light, so I could eat more." Jack just stared at Elsa, surprised by her impressive logic. "Wow. Did you get smarter since the last time I saw you?"
Elsa shrugged and walked over to her book, showing Jack the cover. He made a face. "History? Bleh!" Elsa rolled her eyes and jumped on her bed. "Jack, if I'm going to be queen one day, which I will, I need to be smart!" She said, bouncing up and down. "Be careful Princess or you're going t-" "OUCH!" Elsa wailed, slipping off the bed and onto the floor. Jack ran over to her to find a small cut on her shin. "Are you okay Elsa?" She nodded and pointed to a drawer. "There's stuff in there that will help."
Jack patted her head and opened it. He dapped a wet cloth on it, making Elsa cringe. The blood stopped and Jack stood up. "Well, I think you're gonna be okay." Jack tucked the covers under the princess's chin and crept to window. As carefully an quietly as he could, Jack opened the window, his eyes never leaving her sight.
Swoosh!
Jack swiftly turned around, his staff at the ready.
Swoosh!
Jack watched as a dark figure swept by the window, heading south. He pushed off the window and followed it, leaving behind Arendelle.
