Jack decided to stay there a bit longer and listen.
"Prince Hitch. Are you sure this idea of yours would work?" A guard, standing beside the boy asked.
"You dare question my judgement?" Hitch asked, looking at his guard with intense anger.
The guard shrank back and shook his head.
"This time. This time, I won't get overpowered by some girl."
Jack gasped and accidentally flew past them, making a gust of wind pass the prince and his men.
Jack hurriedly looked for Elsa. But he couldn't find her anywhere. He hated being invisible to those who didn't believe. He could've asked some people and found Elsa by now.
At the corner of his eye, he saw Prince Hitch coming in the ballroom. People made a path for him.
He started panicking as he searched the crowd for Elsa. Not by the tables full of different kinds of chocolate—but Anna was there—, and not by her throne! Jack threw his arms up in exasperation.
Then he saw it— the boy was already speaking to Elsa. No, no, no! He thought. But he can't go to her now. So he decided to fly up her room.
As he sat there, he thought of how guardians or immortals like him can't be with mortals. It was against the law, then again, he's Jack Frost.
Elsa
She stared at him, he seemed familiar but she was positive that she has never met a boy with reddish brown hair with black streaks. "Oh, uh, welcome to Arendelle," Elsa said.
Just as the music was starting, Hitch held out his hand. "Do you dance?" He asked.
Out of politeness, Elsa nodded and took his hand.
He was honestly a good dancer, so Elsa didn't have to do so much as look graceful. He spun her and exchanged partners, until at the last song, they were back to the same pair.
Hitch smiled "Hi,"
"Hi." Elsa smiled back.
Throughout the night, Elsa and Hitch just talked, and talked. At some point, Anna approached them. "Elsa! Who's this?" Anna asked, elbowing her sister lightly. But Anna too, felt that he looked familiar and felt a rush of hatred to the prince.
"This is Prince Hitch." She said, noticing her sister's reaction. "Hitch, Anna. Anna, Hitch."
"I have something to tell you, privately." Anna said, narrowing her eyes at Hitch.
"Okay, see you then," She said to Hitch, as he bowed.
A few flights of stairs later, Elsa finally spoke up. "What in the world do you need to tell me that is as private as this, Anna?" She laughed, but when her sister faced her, a look of seriousness masked her always-happy face.
"I don't like him for you," Anna said.
Elsa stared at her incredulously. "What? Have you gone out of your mind? I don't like him!"
Anna raised her eyebrow, while crossing her arms.
She blushed. "What? You know I don't think like that! I just met him, genius."
"And?"
Elsa looked away.
"Ha! I knew it! But Elsa, you can't." Anna said, her voice a note higher than usual. Her eyes shone, pleadingly.
"I—"
"Yes, yes. I know I've been trying to force you to find your true love, but I have a bad feeling about this Hitch." Anna reasoned. She sucked in a breath."Do you feel any sudden warmth when you make contact, like holding his hand?"
"Umm, n—" Suddenly, Jack Frost was behind Anna.
"Jack?" Elsa tilted her head.
"What?" She looked behind her. Jack was suddenly gesturing as if to say, no, no, shhh!
"Nothing, I thought I— nothing." She said. "We should get back, people might start looking for us, you go ahead, I need to look for something just quick," She rushed her sister out and watched her as she disappeared down the stairs.
She turned to Jack. Isn't he ever going to appear normally? In a way that he doesn't startle anyone?
"Alright, what's wrong?"
"I don't trust the guy either. You see, I heard his conversat—"
"You were eavesdropping?"
"No, no, no. What I mean is that I was passing by outside and I just heard them." He said in a defensive way, making Elsa roll her eyes.
"You can't judge people yet."
"He said he wont let himself become overpowered by a girl again."
"Anna and I aren't the only girls in the kingdom, Frost."
"But I saw how Anna punched him three—" he quickly covered his mouth.
"Wait, what?" Her eyes were wide.
Jack just shook his head and left, leaving Elsa alone to think of what he said. It was when he heard knocking on the door when she realized how long she's been standing there.
Elsa had never thought how Jack has been invisible to her all this years. Since when did he start watching her? She felt awkwardly self-conscious now that she learned that Jack has been always there.
Her thoughts was interrupted when she accidentally bumped into someone, and almost fell backwards. But, the man who she bumped into her, had caught her.
She stared at him, only realizing a minute later that she was staring at Hitch. "I'm sorry, your majesty, I didn't mean to bump into you," he said, pulling her upright and bowing.
"I should be the one apologizing, Hitch, as I was the one who wasn't looking where I was going. So I apologize," she said, nodding. Looking up, she smiled at him.
"What brings you here anyway." She asked, withdrawing her.
"I was looking for you,"
She smiled at him. "Oh, well, I'm here."
"I was wondering if uhh," He said, rubbing the back of his neck. "You could show me around the castle?" He smiled sheepishly.
"Why not?" She said, gesturing Hitch to follow her.
"NO!" Jack shouted, but he ended up getting ignored by Elsa.
He tried to bump into Hitch but he just simply passed through. He groaned. "Elsa! It's a bad idea." But they were too far away for Elsa to hear.
"What's this?" Hitch was asking, pointing to Elsa's old bedroom door.
"This is—was my bedroom door before I became queen." Elsa said, looking down. She thought of the time she wasn't allowed to any contact with Anna.
He tilted his head, pretending to be concerned. "What's wrong, E—"he coughed, as if the name made him choke. "Elsa." He said.
"It's nothing," she took his arm and led him away from the room. "There's still more rooms that are much interesting than this one." She insisted.
He shrugged, smiling. For he knew that reminding her of her past made her old, forgotten fear come back. He then saw a room, the room that had the picture of Elsa and Anna's parents, covered. "Hey, what's in here?"
Elsa looked in the room, and again, looked down.
"What's under this cloth?"
"It's a portrait of our parents."
"Why do you look so sad?"
"They... They're dead." She looked away.
"I'm so sorry," he said, taking Elsa's hand.
Elsa shook her head, "It's alright." She said, closing her hand over Hitch's.
"I'm truly sorry, I did'—"
Elsa sadly laughed "it's fine,"
With a feeling of shock, she felt her get pulled against Hitch. She was trapped in a hug. "I'm really sorry." He whispered, making Elsa's face red. She could see exactly over his shoulder.
The next thing she knew, Jack was there, pushing her out of Hitch's embrace.
"H-hey!" She shouted at Jack who was behind Hitch.
Hitch spoke up, "Sorry." He muttered, looking away.
"No, no. I didn't mean you," Elsa said, glaring at Jack, who, was doing his own glaring at Her.
"I'll be with you in a minute, Hitch." She said, gritting her teeth.
Jack gestured her to follow him. So she did, trying hard not to freeze anything.
He led her to the balcony. "What the hell do you think you're doing, Queen?" He spat mockingly.
"What?!" She said, throwing her hands up. She accidentally sent icicles towards Jack. Luckily, He was agile enough to avoid it.
"Woah!" He complained, flying towards her. He grabbed her shoulders. "He's a danger to you!"
"What are you? My mother?" She said, then realizing how she sounded like Anna. Standing up straight, she took a deep breath and reasoned out calmly. "Is there something wrong? How do you know. And screw the 'I heard him' reasons!" She crossed her arms, waiting for a answer she knew he couldn't give.
Jack looked hurt at what she said. He just shook his head. "Fine. But don't say I didn't warn you." With that, he flew away.
And that was possibly the last time Elsa saw him—eyes filled with hurt.
Author's Note: Heyy guys! you'd soon learn why I named him Hitch. SOOOOOON. Any guesses?
