Chapter 3
"Oh, okay… Well, I'm Jack Frost."
I gasp. "Untie me. Now." I command.
"Geez, saying please wouldn't hurt." he says as he does so.
He walks to face me and offers me a hand. I stand up on my own, and slap him right square on the cheek.
{Jack's POV}
"What was that for?" I ask stunned. I was trying to help her!
"You're Jack Frost, aren't you?"
"Well yeah, I just said that."
"That's your explanation."
"People don't just slap me when people meet The Jack Frost, ya know." I say. What was wrong with this lady? I look straight into her icy blue eyes. Surprisingly, they were a lot like mine, and her hair was blonde-ish white-ish, like mine.
"Then what did you do so wrong that this Pitch person had to take away my sister?!" She yells. I can see she's about to cry her eyes out. She crouches down and sits on the snow.
"... Pitch?" I ask. I'm standing, but suddenly feel wobbly. My brain gets clouded with thoughts. Pitch? Here? How did he know I would be here? I swear I didn't tell anyone I was going. And how did he take away this girl's sister?
"Yes, Pitch! Why did he take my sister?! What's wrong with you?!"
"What's wrong with me? He's the one who took your sister, I didn't do anything wrong!" By now, this girl is getting on my nerves.
I can see tears running down her cheeks. Suddenly I remember my death when I fell into the ice. I remembered my sister.
My anger slips away, and I kneel down next to her.
"She was the only one I had left..." The girl says, her voice cracking with every word.
"Hey, it's okay. We're going to get her back, I promise."
"Oh yeah, how?" She says. She looks at me, and I can detect a sense of curiousity on her face.
"Well, I am Jack Frost. I have powers you know."
Her eyebrows lift up,"... Powers?"
•••
{Elsa's POV}
This guy had powers?
"Yeah, powers. You know, to save the world and stuff." He says
"... Save the world?"
"Why are you repeating everything I'm saying?"
"Just that... I have powers too."
His face expression quickly changes from sad to confused.
"Wait what? You have powers too? Like what?" He shoots his questions at me.
I stand up and brush myself off. He follows.
"I'm afraid our introductions will have to stop." A voice says.
Jack quickly turns around.
A person appears, revealing himself from the dark.
"Pitch!" Both Jack and I say.
Suddenly I hear something shoot, and then a searing pain on my right arm.
I don't have time to say anything, because my vision blurs quickly. I see Jack, on the floor, dead?
I crumple to the ground, and black out. Again.
•••
{Jack's POV}
"Uhhhh…" I moan, my whole body is aching with pain.
"You're finally up." Someone says. As my eyes focus, I can see it's that girl.
The sun is already up, but it's still early.
"How long were we out?" I ask.
"Couple hours." She replies stoutly.
"Pitch?"
"No where to be seen."
Suddenly I notice her face looked like she had been crying. Poor girl.
I look at our surroundings. We're tied to trees, the same way I found the girl before.
"Silly Pitch." I laugh, trying to keep the mood light.
"Excuse me?"
I make my staff appear in my hand.
"You say silly Pitch, and then get a stick in your hand? Right, that's totally going to help us." She rolls her eyes.
"Yeah… It is…" I say. I'd gotten used to her rude and sarcastic remarks. But right now I was trying to focus on summoning a sharp piece of ice. It appeared, cool to the touch and razor sharp on the sides.
"Oh…" Is all she says.
I start using my hands to cut the rope that's tying them together. "So… You mentioned… Something about… Having powers?" I ask, while gnawing the rope with the ice shard.
"Oh yeah. Like yours? Kind of?"
I stopped. Like me? How like me? Like ice, snow like me? Or just like powers like me like other elements like the guardians like me?
I try not to act surprised, even though I can tell it's written all over my face. "Oh." Is all I can manage to say.
I stay silent for a few moments and eventually, the ice shard has cut through the rope. I reached over to start on the rope on my legs.
"My name is Elsa by the way…" She whispers softly. I look up from my cutting and catch her eyes. She blushes and then looks away. I continue cutting.
"That's a nice name." I trail off.
I think I hear her say thank you, but I could have been imagining it.
I finish untying myself and start on Elsa.
After a few minutes, we've successfully released ourselves.
"Yes, we're free!" She says, breaking the silence. Just then, a burst of ice explodes, coming from here. An ice shard pegs a single leaf directly onto the middle of a tree trunk.
"Oops." She gives a slight smile.
"What was that?" I say, impressed with her accuracy.
"I told you I have powers, don't you remember?"
"Right but..."
"But what?" Her smile disappears, even though it was slight.
"Why would Pitch just leave us here? I mean, if he got to you so he could get to me then why didn't he take me? And what about your sister? I think we're missing a huge piece in this puzzle." I say, thinking out loud.
A frown appears on her face. "Anna..."
I'm about to say something, but then I hear a roar. I turn around.
"Marshmallow!" Elsa says.
"Hey bud!" I say, flying to the top of his back. I see my bags are still in tact. I left them there, just in case I fell into a trap.
I make my staff disappear.
"You coming?" I say to Elsa. She seems stuck in a daze.
She nods yes. "But how am I supposed to getup there?"
"Fly, duh." I say.
"Fly? I can't fly..."
"You can't? C'mon, it's easy! Just jump, and fly."
"I can't do that!" She tries several attempts. The only thing she was accomplishing was looking really stupid.
I burst out laughing.
She stops and turns bright red.
"Hey!" She crosses her arms.
"Sorry." I try to stop. But I can't.
"Then stop laughing!" She says.
I calm down. "I haven't laughed in a while." I say to myself. I think she hears me though, because somehow her expression seemed like it was agreeing with me.
"Okay, come on." I fly back to the ground and pick her up by the waist.
"W-what are you doing?" She stutters.
"How else am I going to help you get up to here?" She stays silent after I say that. And she's actually really light. What has this girl done in her life? Stay locked up in a room forever?
I carefully place her on Marshmallow's shoulder.
"There ya go." I say, and then sit down on his other shoulder.
"Let's go bud." I say. He starts walking. By now, it looks like it's about to be ten o'clock in the morning.
Marshmallow walks like six slow yet big steps and then is interrupted.
"Your Majesty!" Someone says. A group of well formally dressed people come, some looking worried, some looking relieved.
"Oh." Is all she says.
"What are you doing out here, Queen Elsa? We've been searching for you and Princess Anna all night!" One, dressed in a red tail coat, tall boots and black pants, says.
Queen? Your Majesty?
"I was… thinking. I want you to meet Jack Frost, my loyal advisers." She says, motioning to me.
"Who are you talking about?" Another one, dressed in blue, says.
"Jack Frost." She says confused. She points at me.
"All I see is you and that ice monster." A green one says. The others agree. I guess they were used to the ice monsters?
I lean in and whisper in her ear," They can't see me, only people who believe I exist can."
"Oops." She says, "Nevermind."
"Your Majesty, we must attend a meeting immediately, it has almost begun. And you need to change! You can't go to a meeting dressed in that torn clothing!" One says.
She looks down at her clothes. They're torn, probably form the adventure she had just now.
"Also, where is Princess Anna?" Another one says.
"You have another meeting at 12, by the way Queen." Yet another says.
Soon, the whole group is talking reminding her of her schedule. She seems quite overwhelmed and sighs.
I fly down and make faces behind them. She notices me and starts giggling.
"What's so funny, Queen?"
"Oh, nothing."
She jumps down from Marshmallow.
"Let's go." She says to all of us. We head towards… A castle? I guess she really is Queen.
Marshmallow and I follow, right behind them. Being queen did not seem easy. Then again, being a guardian wasn't either, or at least when there's actual things going on.
After walking for a few minutes, we enter the castle. It's really grand. I look at Elsa. She seems like she was handling all of her activities well, but I could detect a hint of sadness. Maybe from losing her sister? I'm pretty sure Anna is still alive and the black hole was something like a transporter. I doubt Pitch would kill someone that fast, especially if Anna was someone Elsa cared about.
Otherwise, he probably would have taken me already and left Elsa behind. I figure that she was used as bait to lure me to him. But of all people, why her? This specific person, with powers and was Queen.
I see her tell something to her attendants and they leave. Marshmallow is waiting outside.
She walks over to me. "I have business to attend to. Is it okay if you come back tonight? I need to ask you something." She asks, a hopeful smile lights up her face, despite all she's been through.
"Sounds good to me." I say, still curious about her.
"Great! And I'll let you borrow Olaf as your tour guide." She says.
Olaf? The name sounded familiar.
Just then, someone or actually something with a cloud over its head walks in.
"Hey Elsa! I was so worried about you! You weren't here this morning and I panicked!"
"Aw Olaf. I'm fine."
I look at this Olaf person. Suddenly I remember.
"Jack?" He says.
"Olaf! Remember me?"
"Of course I remember you! Guardian buddies, right?"
I smiled. "I see you've gotten upgraded." I say, pointing at his personal cloud.
"Hehe, yep."
"You two know each other?" Elsa says.
"Oh yeah!" Olaf says. "After you built me when you accidentally struck Anna when you guys were little, I ended up in the North Pole and with Jack. We met again when you built that ice castle because I was on my own journey! Jack had some other battles to fight with his Guardian friends."
She looks at me, confused.
"Long story." I chuckle, scratching my head.
An attendant comes in and talks to Elsa. They leave, and Olaf and I go outside to the main entrance. I tell Marshmallow to go… wherever he goes.
The next few hours, Olaf and I tour the kingdom. Once I step outside, I realized where this place was. Arendelle.
We visit some ice shop owned by Olaf's friend, Kristoff, at the end of the day.
We walk in, the door jingling as the opens.
The store is literally filled with ice of all shapes. Definitely my favorite shop in the world. Kinda boring, but hey, ice is ice and ice is cool.
But the guy at the counter seems really bummed and worried. He had a baby face and was wearing bulky clothing.
"Hey Kristoff!" Olaf chimes.
Kristoff breaks away from his daze.
"Did you find Anna?" He asks, a hopeful look plastered on his baby face.
"Sadly I don't know anything about it. How 'bout you Jack?"
"Who's Jack?" Kristoff asks.
"Oh yeah!" Olaf exclaims, I think he forgot that only people who believed in me could see me.
"Do you believe in Jack Frost?" Olaf asks.
"Who's Jack Frost?" Kristoff asks.
Olaf gasps loudly and then explains.
"That's silly. Are you okay Olaf?" Is what he says after Olaf explains my story.
"I'm fine Kristoff. Just believeee." Olaf says.
His face expression seems unbelieving, so I make my staff appear.
"Hey, it's your stick!" Olaf shouts, obviously excited.
"Staff." I mutter. I point it at an empty space and it shoots a blue laser. A detailed replica of Kristoff appears, made of 100% ice.
They both gasp. Kristoff literally runs towards it and he looks like he's about to cry.
Olaf sees it too. "Kristoff, it's just ice."
He looks at him. "Just ice?! Ice is my job! Ice is my life!"
I see a blue spark in his eyes and I smiled.
He rubbed his eyes and then looked straight at me. "Jack Frost!"
He believed. I could cross that off my bucketlist. Get an ice business person to believe I exist.
"That's me." I say, a huge grin on my face.
"So where's Anna?" He says. Geez.
My smile melts away and I explain the whole black hole thing.
Both Olaf and Kristoff are shocked.
Kristoff is about to say something, his face showing true fear.
"How could- I mean, what- why- we can still save her right?"
"Shhh.." I say, hearing something. Jingling.
I checked the door, no one was there.
It sounded different anyways. It was more familiar.
And then I realized who it was.
"RUN!" I shout.
Kristoff: What is happening?
Me: Wait and find out!
Jack: -_-
