Elsa POV*
I walked alongside the garden in my back courtyard. I trailed my fingers against each flower, admiring their beauty. It was a beautiful day and I had decided to go out for a walk. Anna had left to talk with Kristoff about something important which I guess was too important for her to tell me, but it didn't matter. I let her go with him because I knew how much it made her happy to be with him. Whenever they were both together, I would gaze at them lovingly, happy for them but I would sometimes feel a small tinge of jealousy. Anna and Kristoff had each other and I had.. no one.
I felt something cold touch my finger and looked down to see that I had frozen a rose. I touched it again to see if I could somehow unfreeze it, but the ice just kept growing over it, becoming completely encased in the ice. Oh.
I stared down at the rose when I heard a strange loud noise behind me. I whirled around to see what it was. It looked like a portal, like the one that the guardians had left in. I took my stance, ready in case something or someone came out to harm me. It remained open for a few more seconds before someone finally stepped out of it.
"Jack!" I yelled out in surprise as he stood outside the portal fully and it closed behind him. He had staff in one hand and in the other one he carried a big snow globe.
He came! He actually came! I was so happy I could run up to him and hug him, but I kept my composure.
"Hi Elsa!" He said with a smile on his face. "I got your letter."
"Oh, I'm glad you did." I said. Glad? More like happy!
"How have you been?" He asked.
"Good. Just good." I replied. We stood there for a few minutes, gazing awkardly around each other.
Come on Elsa. Say something! My inner said. "Um, would you like to come inside?" I asked him.
"Sure!" He replied. We both started walking inside when he stopped walking. I looked back to see what was going on and saw that he was looking at the frozen rose.
"Did you do that?" He asked, pointing at it. I gulped. I was starting to get nervous already. I nodded my head. "Yeah. I did." I looked back down at the rose and I could see my distorted reflection staring back at me.
"Do you want me to show you how to unfreeze?" He asked me. I looked back up at him.
"You know how to unfreeze it?" I asked him. He nodded his head.
"Yeah. Here just touch it with your finger." He said to me. I had tried that earlier but it only made the rose freeze even more. I gently touched the rose and watched in horror as more ice began to accumulate on it, forming spikes at the sides and top. I yanked my hand back from him.
'I can't do it! I'm only making it freeze up more!" I cried out, backing away from Jack and the rose.
"Don't worry. It's okay." He said to me, reaching out for me. "Here, I'll help you." He reached for my hand but hesitated. "Could I, um.. have your hand please?" I was scared, but I knew that if I wanted him to help me, I had to let him. I slowly held my hand out in front of me. I could feel them shaking and as soon as he took my hand, it stopped. His hands were so warm and I felt calm. He held my hand above the rose and looked back at me.
"Are you alright?" He asked. I didn't know but I felt like I was. I nodded my head a yes. Still holding my hand, he held it right in front of the rose. "Just try to calm down and don't be scared. It's all going to be okay." He reassured me. I looked at him and met his gaze. His eyes were so blue, so calm.
I slowly touched the top of the rose, avoided the spikes that were near it and watched in amazement as the ice slowly started to melt away from the flower, releasing it from it's icy tomb. I did it ! I actually did it! I unfroze the rose!
After the rose had completely melted, I realized that the rose no longer had its red color, but it was now blue. I gave Jack a peculiar look when I noticed its new color.
"Well, at least it's not frozen anymore." He said to me. Yeah, true. I nodded my head in agreement, still staring at the rose in amazment. Even though it turned blue, I managed to unfreeze it, which was a small step towards being able to have better control of my powers.
"Do you want to come inside now?" I asked Jack. He nodded his head at me and now we began walking inside the castle. We walked next to each other and out of the corner of my eye, I watched as Jack turned to look at me with a smile on his face. I could feel myslef blushing. Instead, I quickly thought of something else to take my mind off of it. But, I took a quick look at him, finding myself now looking at him while he kept walking forward with a straight face. Now I was the one smiling at him.
