The wolves turned tail and ran a short distance, once they were out of range the magic subsided, and she heard a voice. "Why don't you attack me instead of bothering the lady, just try it."
"Who said that?" Elsa wondered. Once the magic faded the wolves gathered themselves and surrounded her again, growling all the while. The alpha wolf looked like he would lunge at her but as soon as he did, he was encased in a block of ice. Losing their leader seemed to break them and the rest ran away howling.
After the skirmish Elsa heard that same voice again. "Are you okay?"
"W-who are you?" Elsa stammered, "And where are you, you sound as if you're right in front of me?"
"I am, but I cannot be seen unless a person believes in me."
"How can I believe in someone I don't know?"
"But you do know me, my name is Jack Frost."
A childhood memory crossed Elsa's mind, one of snow and mischief. "I've read about you!" Elsa said, "I've always believed."
"Do you now?"
"Of course," Elsa replied. Before long Jack became visible. He was young looking, tall and thin with white hair and blue eyes and was wearing a dark gray cloak. In his hands was a magic staff that shimmered like ice. He looked like I always thought he would, Elsa thought.
"You really are Jack Frost?"
"The one and only, and who might you be?"
"Oh! I'm sorry, I'm Queen Elsa of Arendelle."
Jack nodded in respect. "And what is a Queen doing in the forest alone?"
"I was on my way to a conference in a neighboring kingdom, but I got lost on the way and what's more I lost my horse."
"What's the name of this kingdom? I may have seen it on my way out here."
"Corona." Elsa said.
"I may have passed through there, does this kingdom have a flag and crest symbol resembling the Sun?"
Elsa's face lit up "Yes, do you think you can take me there?"
"I passed through Corona on my way here and I remember where it is, we can go there together."
"I'd love to. There's only one problem, I'll be late if we go on foot."
"Not a problem, I can simply fly you there."
"You can't be serious."
"I'm a winter god remember?" Without waiting for her to reply he swept her up in his arms and they flew off. Elsa shrieked.
"What's wrong your Majesty?" Jack Frost asked, with a grin "I heard that you built an ice tower fifty or more stories high. I didn't think you had an issue with heights."
"How did you know I did that? Besides I've never flown before!" She shouted wrapping her arms around Jack's neck tightly. As she did Jack felt an ice cold sensation along his neck.
"So it's true, you do possess ice powers. Why didn't you fight off the wolves on your own?"
"Because, I don't want to lose control! It's controlling my powers under stressful circumstances that's the trick! Don't focus on me though, just don't let me fall!"
Jack rolled his eyes. "You are not going to fall."
Soon enough they arrived at Corona. Jack stopped and lowered her to the ground with great care.
"Whew, I finally made it, thank you," she panted.
"You're welcome."
"Well, I have to go, thank you again though," Elsa said as she started through the main palace gate.
As Elsa left a strange new emotion came over Jack, "Will I ever see you again?" he asked.
"I don't think so, but maybe."
"What you're too good to spend time with your rescuer?"
Elsa blushed. "Of course not."
"Then let's meet sometime."
Elsa thought about it for a few moments and decided there was no real harm in it. "All right, meet me at the glen outside Arendelle, next week at dawn. There's a nearby river, follow that north into the glen, you can't miss it." She then turned and walked through the palace doors.
Jack watched as she walked through the doors and felt his heart skip a beat.
Why did I even want to meet her again, he asked himself, she's a mortal and I am a spirit. Because she's beautiful, a voice in his head said, and has control over ice, same as we do.
True, but I still didn't know how I should feel about her. I wasn't even sure spirits were supposed to have feelings for mortals. He sighed, "What am I going to tell the Guardians back home?" He stood up, raised his staff and flew away.
