Chapter 4
"Haha, you answered wro…right?!" Elsa was caught off guard. Awe shock was dancing all across her face making her amusement ran off in a matter of seconds.
"You found it! You were telling the truth! The names of everyone rest peacefully in your mind!" Olaf congratulated Jack for his victory by jumping excitedly and creating two shallow holes on the snow he was standing. His only white tooth participated in his smile which soon transformed in an opening mouth. Now sleep was showing his first signs on him.
"No way he was telling the truth, he is just a good prankster!" that was Elsa's excuse in her mind for the unexpected lost.
"How did you know his name?!" she squinted at Jack quizzically, making a few steps closer, and jabbing a finger at him.
"I thought I had the right to ask, not you! Remember our deal?!" Jack put on his fake offended mask while speaking with a tone of irony. "Your conditions, not mine!" his eyebrows were high in his forehead when he shut down his eyes temporarily. Then he opened them for Elsa's reaction which was exactly what he had imagined.
Elsa rolled her eyes from his words. The acceptance of being wrong and someone else right, was one of the things she hated the most. Mad, because she didn't like the taste of losing, she swallowed her pride and pronounced the inevitable phrase "Go on!"
Jack cleared his throat and said while pointing at Olaf, "How can he be ALIVE?! I've never seen someone like him before!"
Then he addressed to Elsa, "And what are you doing here in the middle of an icy winter night wearing only a nightdress?! You should be freezing right now, but you look perfectly fine!" this all content was said in one single breath.
The sound of a smash was heard which made Elsa and Jack gave up from their conversation and turned their heads.
The noise came from the crash Olaf had when he hit the snow. He had fallen asleep. Elsa's anger melted from that view.
"To answer your questions, Olaf was created by me," she finally understood Jack didn't know who she is, so she decided to tell him, meanwhile she was forming some fluffy clouds as a comfortable bed for Olaf to lie down, "I have magical winter powers as well as the ability to create living snow beings. I've been born with these powers, so the cold never bothered me anyway!"
"Wow, you can control the element of ice just like me! I didn't think that someone could be so similar to me, to not even mention doing things I couldn't!" Jack left the rock from he was sitting leg-crossed, to watch more closely Elsa doing her magic. He couldn't believe that the actual person who saw him wasn't very different from what he could be.
She put Olaf in his dreamboat and then gave Jack a quick glance before saying, "We better go and take him at his real bed. Follow me." she wouldn't let him get away her questions so easily, but first she needed to expand her answer. They started moving and the clouds with their passenger just chased them.
"As Olaf suspected you can master snow too! You know, I always wanted to befriend with someone who could understand me. Since I was a little kid, I wondered if outside my window, somewhere in the world could exist a person with snow powers. This wonder through the years turned in a strong belief. Most of people give up when time passes with no signs along the way, but for a lonely child with no friends and hiding her true self from almost everyone, even from my sister, hope was the last thing that had left and I couldn't throw it away easily. I believed and still believe!" she couldn't prohibit herself to knit beautiful dreams of a other reality where she was building snowmen with Anna, and why not with someone else who was like her.
"That's why you can see me! You believe in me!" this puzzle was finally solved in Jack's mind only to leave room for another one which held a bigger importance, Elsa's life. "But why were you hiding your powers from your sister?"
Elsa's memory brought back her childhood, her hard times when she only wished to play with Anna and to have friends like all kids of her age, not being locked inside her room.
"To cut a story short, in that time I didn't know how to control them, so accidentally hurt my sister. The best way to prevent that from happening again was to be isolated. Approximately five months before I found out that it wasn't the best way. I shouldn't let fear control me, but open my heart to love."
The half part of her dream had come true, but how could she know that the possibilities for the other half to realize still consisted?! Even why bringing back her past made Elsa down-hearted, her slowly heartbeat celebrated her last part of her dream which came true with a smile. Her belief paid back. That's when it struck her.
"Why do you keep saying you can see me?! Isn't that what my eyes are scheduled to do, to see people?!" she didn't hesitate to ask eagerly. This question was planned for him since the moment he uttered those words.
Jack, still touched from what he heard from her life, thought a while about the proper way to speak about himself, meantime they were getting closer the walls of a castle.
"I'm not just a guy who creates snow. I am the one who brings it all over the world. Technically, I'm reborn in this life as a spirit that cannot be seen by anyone who doesn't believe in me. You and Olaf are the first ones who do in a very long time or better say, as far as I can remember!" last words struggled with an invisible opponent to come out in a melancholic mode, which made Jack place his eyes in the ground and stop. Sorrow was used to find its way to Jack's soul, this time causing a warm tear drop from the edges of his left eye.
Elsa stopped as well, recognizing the pain. "Looks like solitude for a long time is an aspect we have in common!" she forced a smile and rested her hand on his upper arm to make him feel better.
Jack rose his head after the slight touch of her hand which strangely made him feel warm despite her fingers being ice cold, to lose in the gaze of her eyes. Suddenly he felt heat under his cheeks, a sentiment never experienced before and he had no idea why it was happening right now.
"Enough with the drama tonight! We must move on!" Elsa snapped him out of his thoughts and they started walking again.
After just a few more steps their road was intersected by a wall. A magnificent castle could be seen from outside.
"You live in a castle?!" Jack was surprised. He was sure she didn't point out this part while telling about herself.
"You reminded me we haven't officially introduced. Queen Elsa of Arendelle!" she bowed in respect.
"Jackson Overland Frost, but you can just call me Jack! Can we skip the formalities? What about a shake of hands?!" he proposed while raising his hand.
"Well then, as you want! But you should know that no one has ever requested me a shake of hands!" she playfully said.
"I'm glad I'm the first!" a smile on Jack's face could not miss in this agreement.
His smile attracted Elsa's attention. It was one of the brightest that she had seen. She felt like a blizzard was messing up with her heart which was pounding rapidly inside her chest. She didn't understand the motive of this change, but she managed to calm down and then remembered what she wanted to say.
"I'm inviting you as my guest to come at my castle, but we can't use the front door because no one knows Olaf and I are outside the gates. You better follow me and don't make a sound." she threatened him in the last part.
"Ye…" Elsa's narrow eyes ready for a duel didn't let him to finish his approval so he just nodded.
Elsa didn't waste more time and started crystallizing an icy bridge that led in the other side of the wall without making noise. She had learned how to make her magic mute. Jack flew next to Olaf and Elsa. After passing the bridge, they entered the garden.
There were no guards at this part of the castle for the moment, so they took their opportunity and move quickly. They arrived at the corridor where Olaf's dorm was, when some voices were coming from its end.
"They must be the guards!" Elsa thought, running with Jack as fast as she could and sending Olaf's cloud in front of the door.
She opened it and they all entered before the guards could notice. Still one of the guards heard the crack the door made.
"Did you hear that?" the dark-haired guard asked his companion, staring at the place where the noise came.
"Probably just the door closed by the wind." the redhead guard responded with a monotonous voice.
They crossed the corridor without any further discussion.
"They're gone at last!" Elsa let out a sign of relief after she eavesdropped on them.
Olaf was now on his real bed. His room had enormous windows with green silk curtains, a spare bed in the rare case if Kristoff wanted to sleep over (rare because he wasn't use to leave his nest yet), a handmade wooden closet (this one served mainly to Kristoff , Olaf didn't need clothes except in special occasions) and a striped brown carpet on the floor.
"You will sleep here." she was exhausted while saying that. She couldn't wait to go at her bed.
"Nice room!" Jack said after giving the room his critical eye. He left his staff on the ground and crawled into his new bed.
"And the last thing before I go to sleep. Tell me how did you know Sven's name?!" Elsa said with her eyes half open.
"Yeah, about that! I may say I used some help to get that information. I can speak leaves language and the leaf that passed near me told me. So, good night!" he turned on the other side to not face Elsa.
"You little cheater!" her mouth opened and she had no more strength to carry on with her accusations. "I'll proceed tomorrow!"
"You mean today!" he corrected her with a giggle.
The door closed coldly.
After dawn, in a secret enchanted place, hidden inside the forest, a mother was speaking with her daughter.
"Listen careful my little fairy! You must find Grand Pabbie! His wisdom will serve you to find a solution. You're our only hope!"
