Elsa immediately stiffened. She nodded curtly to the servant and started to walk down the hallway slowly, wringing her hands. "You'll be great." Jack told her reassuringly as he floated by her. She gave him a weak smile and went into deep thought.
I wish my parents were here to see this. Then again, if they were here this wouldn't be happening. Elsa was nervous. She stood behind the chapel doors, listening to the chatters of people inside. Jack jumped onto the ground and stood in front of her.
"Don't worry. You'll be fine. I promise." He squeezed her shoulder. The doors in front of us opened and Jack moved out of the way so that Elsa was in front of it, not that anyone would see him, but so she wouldn't bump into him.
She walked down the aisle and looked around. When Elsa spotted Anna standing near the priest, she almost stopped, had Jack not lightly shoved her forward. Anna had really grown up. The last time Elsa had seen her sister she had short hair stuffed in pigtails, a happy expression on her face, and was twirling around singing.
Now, Anna looked mature, very pretty, but luckily had not lost her happiness that radiated from her expression. Jack watched Elsa with adoration as she knelt down and the crown was placed on her head. Above, a choir quietly sung a Heimr Àrnadalr.
Elsa stood, back facing everyone, and reached out for the golden, jeweled scepter and bowl. As she did, the priest cleared his throat quietly. Jack frowned and watched as he said quietly to her, "You Majesty, the gloves."
Elsa stared down at her blue gloves and then at the priest. She sucked in a deep breath and pulled them off her hands. She set them on the pillow and turned around with the objects in her hands. Jack caught her eye and said out loud, "Look at me Elsa. You're doing great." It made her feel better until she noticed ice slowly creeping up the objects.
Elsa shot Jack a panicky look. Elsa, having enough, put the objects down just as the priest was done. She slipped her gloves on to prevent any more little accidents. As she turned to face the standing and cheering crowd, she noticed Jack grinning at her, leaning against his staff. Elsa gave him a grin and looked at the audience. All that was left was the party.
Jack followed Elsa as she descended the stairs and made her way back to her bedroom. "How does it feel to be queen, Princess?" He grinned. Striding down the hallway, Elsa waited until a servant passed before giving him a look and saying, "Weird. It's definitely going to take time before it really sinks in."
He plopped down on a sofa and watched as Elsa stood in front of her mirror, eyeing the crown with fascination. It was small and made of gold, with tiny jewels encrusted into the front of it. "It's pretty." Jack told her softly.
She smiled at him through the mirror and them turned to face him, the mirror at her back. "So, the gates are open. Are you gonna go into town?" Jack asked. Elsa frowned and shook her head. "Definitely not. It's best if I just stay here.
Jack stood up, exasperated. "Why are you doing this to yourself? I understand why you did it from ages eight to eighteen, but why now? Elsa, I hate to be blunt, but your parents are dead. They cannot tell you what to do anymore. You are the queen of Arendelle. Not your mother. You are a legal adult and can make decisions for yourself. I mean your a queen for my gosh."
Jack felt a sick feeling in his stomach as he watched Elsa's eyes glass over. Her tone became as cold as her ice. "They did it to protect me Jack. I choose to stay here for my safety and everyone else's. Especially Anna's. But you wouldn't know or understand would you? You left me and paraded around the world for five years playing with your new believers and leaving me here in this cell."
Jack waved his hands around in the air. "YOU JUST SAID YOU CHOSE TO STAY HERE. DON'T BLAME ME FOR YOUR BOREDOM." A single tear ran down her face. "I wasn't talking about boredom Jack." She said in a whisper. Elsa hastily wiped the tear and turned her back to him.
Jack stared at her, stunned. Was she talking about what he thought she was talking about? He reached out to turn her around when there was a knock on the door. Elsa strode over and opened the door. A servant stood there. "Yes?" Elsa said in an even, queen-like tone.
"My queen, I was wondering if you wanted any help getting ready for the ball that's in two hours. Elsa's eyes widened. "Two hours!? I thought I had more time than that." The servant hushed the new queen. "Let me take care of everything Your Majesty."
The servant, named Millicent, went into her bathroom to prepare Elsa's bath. "You are excused." She said to Jack curtly. He tried to catch her eye, but was unsuccessful. "Alright." He said quietly, feeling a strong pang in his heart, like it was being compressed tightly.
He turned around and flew out the door and wandered around the castle. He climbed to the North Tower and watched the village preparing for the ball. People were chatting in front of the gates and some even in the courtyard behind the gate. Jack saw Anna in her room, looking more elated and smiley than he's seen her in a long time.
"I hope you'll be able to see me one day." He whispered through the window glass, creating frost on the window. Not noticing it, he flew away. Anna however, saw the frost and dropped her brush in shock. It's July, how on Earth could that have happened? She thought in shock.
Elsa stood in front of her mirror, wringing her hands. What have you done Elsa? Even though he doesn't see my point, doesn't mean you have to shut him out too! Especially someone as attractive as him. Elsa reprimanded herself, annoyance turning into fear and worry. Oh my gosh. What if he doesn't come back? What if I pushed him past his breaking point. Oh no, what have I done?!
Elsa was lucky that Millicent had left or else she would've been in deep, deep trouble. Snow started to fall around, only adding to her fear and worry. Elsa started to pace, digging her fingernails into her skull, but careful not to mess up her hair.
"Why can't I control it? I don't want to hurt people." Elsa wailed out loud, sinking down on a couch. "You need to let it go sometimes, or else you'll explode." A familiar voice said from behind the couch. Elsa jerked around, a watery smile on her face. "Jack!" He smiled back at her.
Elsa jumped, and not very lady-like I might add, over the back of the couch and into Jack's arms, squeezing the life out of him. He dropped his staff in surprise and wrapped his arms around her. "I'm so sorry Jack for being a stupid, impulsive idiot." She said, her voice muffled by Jack's hoodie.
He chuckled and helped her off him. "It's cool. I'm sorry too." Elsa gave him a look. "You have nothing to be sorry about." Jack looked around the room and eyed the snow. With a wave of his staff, it all melted. Jack looked down at Elsa, whose expression reminded him of a deer. Her big blue eyes wide, extenuating her looks.
She wouldn't be too mad if I kissed her... right? Jack asked himself. He brushed her bangs aside and was about to lean in when...
"Your Majesty? It's time for your grand entrance!" Millicent called through the door, adding a knock for good measure. Oh my Moon, I swear I'm going to freeze all of her servants until they give us some privacy. Jack thought, grinding his teeth.
Elsa gave him an odd look before turning to open the door. Was he about to kiss me? How I wish he was! Elsa thought slightly irritated. She smiled at Millicent and started to walk down the hall, knowing that Jack was going to follow.
When she didn't hear a sarcastic comment from above her, she started to worry. "Worried you wouldn't see me again after our last encounter a minute ago, Princess?" That sardonic she loved so much asked her. Relief flooded through her, but she hoped he didn't see it.
Judging by that smug smirk he was giving her, Elsa decided that she had failed miserably. "Shut up." She muttered under her breath. She came to the door and watched the party through the wings. People were dressed in fancy clothes and were chatting, eating, and dancing.
"Have you ever been to a party before?" Jack asked, making Elsa aware of their proximity. Suddenly, the air around her felt thin. Kai, the announcer, saw Elsa and announced her to the room. "May I present, Queen Elsa of Arendelle." Elsa strode forward, poised and regal.
Kai spotted Anna standing to the side and grabbed her by the arm, pulling her to where Elsa was standing. "And Princess of Anna of Arendelle." Anna gulped and looked around. "Are you sure...I don't think I'm supposed to be here uh okay." Elsa looked to her side to see Anna.
"Hi." She said softly. Anna wheeled around and looked at her sister. "Hi? Hi me? Oh um, hi!" Elsa smiled at her. "You look beautiful." Anna brushed a piece of hair behind her ear. Jack watched from the wings, smiling, elated to see the sisters communicating.
"Thank you. You look beautifuller. I mean not fuller, more beautiful." "Thank you." Elsa chuckled at her sister's awkwardness. She hasn't changed much. The queen smiled to herself. Jack cocked his head to the side, enjoying Elsa's happy look.
Elsa and Anna looked at the crowd in the room. "So this is what a party looks like." Elsa commented. Anna looked at her and quickly said, "It's warmer than I thought." A sweet fragrance caught Elsa's nose. "What is that amazing smell?" The two sisters sniffed the air and sighed. "Chocolate!" They said at the same time. They chuckled, making Jack grin.
Elsa caught his eye and swiftly motioned for him to join her. He waved it off. "Nah, I'm good. I'm enjoying your conversation with Anna." She gave him a look, slyly, before turning back to her sister. Jack furrowed his eyebrows until he saw Elsa put her hands behind her back, beckoning him with a finger.
Jack laughed out loud, swaggering over to her. "Alright, if you insist. But no one can see me except you." Elsa nodded to a person who had just bowed before her, listening to both Jack and Kai introducing the person.
When Anna wasn't paying attention, Elsa whispered under her breath, "Yeah, but I know you're there and I want-um would like you here. Doesn't that mean something?" Jack stared at her for a moment, biting back what he was going to say.
A small man walked over to the three of them and was introduced by Kai. "Your Majesty? May I present, the Duke of Weasel Town." Jack stifled a laugh as the Duke snapped his head in the announcer's direction. "Weselton! It's Weselton." He reassured Anna and Elsa.
He stepped forward and bowed lowly. "Your Majesty, as your closest partner in trade, it only seems fitting that I offer you your first dance as queen." Jack felt all hot and bothered, even though this old guy was no competition.
Jack stood behind the Duke and laughed as he did some freaky dance moves men his age shouldn't be able to do. Jack blew on the Duke with a cold wind and watched as he bowed, his hair fell off his scalp until he stood back up. Jack looking pleased with himself, watched as Anna gasped and started laughing.
Elsa laughed but turned it into a cough. She gave him a look with her eyes before turning to the Duke. "Thank you, but I don't dance." She told the Duke. He frowned. "Oh." Elsa looked at her sister before quickly saying, "But my sister does."
Jack howled with laughter as he watched Anna laugh and be pulled off the steps by the Duke. "Wait what?" She called out loud, being dragged after him. Jack stood next to Elsa and laughed with her. She waved to her sister, "Sorry."
Jack leaned against his staff and chuckled. "I'm glad you got rid of him or else I was gonna freeze him solid." For a spilt second, Elsa looked horrified before composing her expression. "Jack, then they'd definitely think there's something wrong with me." She said under her breath.
He frowned. "There's nothing wrong with you. Anyway, the reason I wanted to get rid of him because I wanted to dance with you first." Elsa's calm look turned amused, with her fighting the grin on her face. "Jack the people would think I'm crazy if they saw me dancing by myself. That Duke would be dreadfully offended."
Jack shrugged. "I don't care. We would know we were dancing with each other." Elsa suddenly felt hot, again a feeling she's never had a whole lot of experience with. She frowned. Why do I only feel heat with Jack? Does he feel it too?
"Elsa." Jack nudged her. She blinked and saw Kai introducing some people. She gave them a smile and nod, noticing Anna dancing with that lunatic still. She giggled and waved at her sister, who narrowed her eyes playfully.
Elsa was talking to a few people when Anna came back. Elsa stifled a laugh, but Jack didn't hold back. "Shut up." Elsa whispered, snickering. Anna stood next to her sister and sighed. "Well he was spritely." Elsa told her.
Ann adjusted her shoes and said, "Especially for a man in heels." This sent Jack and Elsa laughing hard. When Elsa had composed herself, she asked, "Are you okay?" Anna looked at her sister with sheer elation. "Honestly, I've never been better. This is so nice. I wish it could be like this all the time!"
Elsa's smile faltered, turning to a frown. Jack grimaced. Oh no Anna take it back. "It can't be." Elsa told her, sounding distant. Anna frowned. "Why not?" Elsa turned her back to her sister, looking like she was losing control. "It just can't." She told her in a hard voice, making her hands in fists. Control it. Conceal, don't feel. Don't let it show.
Jack grabbed her shoulders, settling Elsa down. Jack saw Anna look hurt and cleared her throat. "Would you excuse me for a moment." Anna told her sister quietly. Anna stepped down and made her way through the crowd.
Elsa turned around, one of Jack's hand still on her shoulder, and watched her sister go. What have I done? She thought miserably.
