Whoo! I'm alive! Sorry about not updating sooner but I couldn't get on the internet on my laptop. Anyway, here's the second chapter! Enjoy!
Chapter 2 Double Trouble
Jack's POV
"Elsa's the newest guardian? But she doesn't even live in this day and age!" Bunny exclaimed.
I narrowed my eyes at him. "Are you saying you have a problem with her joining us?" I gripped my staff harder.
Bunny held up his paws. "Now, mate, calm down. I'm surprised, that's all."
"Jack, do you need to go back to Arendelle to tell her? Because I'd like her to come here." North stated.
I shook my head. "Nope! I can contact her from here." Truth be told, I'd never actually contacted Elsa from the future before, but what could it hurt? Hey, Snowflake, are you there?
"I am now. What is it Jack?"
Can you come over here? North wants to tell you something.
"Just North, huh?"
I almost laughed. Okay, me too. Are you able to come?
"Sure, just give me a few minutes."
I turned to the others. "Elsa said she'd be here soon." No sooner were the words out of my mouth, than Elsa appeared at my side.
Bunny looked like he had just seen one of Pitch's Nightmares. "You guys have got to stop doing that," he said.
Elsa turned to North. "Jack said you wanted to talk to me about something. What is it?"
"The man in the moon has chosen a new guardian," North told her.
"Okay, and why should that concern me?" Elsa asked.
"Because that new guardian is you," Tooth explained.
Elsa's eyes widened. "Me?"
Sandy nodded.
"Why me?"
"Probably because you are one," I replied.
Elsa smiled at me.
"You can choose whether or not to become a guardian. There is one alternative though. You have to be immortal. Otherwise how are the children going to believe in you for centuries?" Bunny said.
"Elsa doesn't need to become immortal," North said matter-of-factly.
Everyone turned to him in surprise.
"She doesn't?" I asked. "Why not?"
"Because she already is immortal."
Elsa's POV
I'm.
Already.
Immortal?
"What do you mean?" I demanded of North.
North shrugged. "When you died, Jack brought you back to life with his staff. Since then, you've been immortal. Haven't you noticed that you haven't aged since then?"
When I died. That still felt weird to say. As a matter of fact, I hadn't noticed that I hadn't been aging recently; not that I asked myself that question every morning.
"Wait, how did you know that Elsa had died?" Jack asked North.
North's eyes twinkled. "I'm Santa Claus. I know everything."
I felt a blush creep up my cheeks. "You mean, you saw everything that happened?"
I could tell North was trying very hard to hold in his laughter. "Yes," he choked out.
"Oh," was all I said as I cast my eyes downward. As I looked up again, I noticed that Jack's face was also a little red.
Jack cleared his throat. "Has the man in the moon shown you what Pitch is doing this time?" he asked.
Tooth shook her head. "He hasn't shown us anything like that since you were made a guardian."
"Pitch has something worse, this time. I can feel it," North whispered, his hands going down to clutch his stomach. "In my belly."
Bunny scowled. "The belly thing again, really?"
North turned to him. "Hey, it was right last time."
"That was last time, and this is this time," Bunny replied.
North narrowed his eyes. "Are you saying that my belly is wrong?"
Tooth flew to hover between them. "There's nothing wrong with intuition, but if you ask me –"
"Tooth, can't you see we're trying to argue?" North interjected.
"Well, sorry, but as I was saying…"
I looked to Sandy and rolled my eyes. Sandy smiled. Then he looked passed me and his smile faded as his eyes widened. I looked behind me to see Pitch standing in a doorway. He had a stupid grin on his face as if he were barely holding in laughter. Then he started applauding. North and Bunny broke off and stared.
"What? Do you think that just because I'm not a guardian of the children that I can't come in? That's not very polite." Pitch shook his head disappointedly.
"What do you want Pitch? Why are you here?" Bunny demanded.
"What do I want?" Pitch repeated. "I only want to talk to the masters of ice and cold here."
"We already told you we don't want to join you," Jack replied fiercely as his hand tightened around his staff.
"Oh I know you didn't. So I asked others, and they agreed immediately." Pitch turned to the doorway. "You can come in now! Jack Frost, Queen Elsa, meet Jake and Isla," Pitch turned to us, an evil smile on his face. "Your other selves."
A young woman and a young man stepped into the room. Jack and I gasped in astonishment. They looked exactly like us, only opposite. Isla had her long black hair in a French braid she slung over her right shoulder. Her dress was exactly like mine, only black and her eyes were a very dark blue. Jake was the same. Wild black hair, and black sweater and pants. His eyes were also a very dark blue, and he even had a coal-black staff in his hand. They were both smiling, but not regular smiles; these smiles were sinister. Pitch had, indeed, found our other selves; the selves we would have been if we had joined him.
"Oh, no!" Isla put a hand to her mouth in shock. "We've been so impolite in the presence of royalty!" She then curtsied and Jake bowed. I gritted my teeth. If Isla was my other self, she knew I hated to be bowed to.
"Well, this has been fun and all, but now that we've been introduced, we have to leave," Jake announced. He turned to Pitch and Isla. "You guys coming?"
Pitch nodded. "You go on ahead. We'll be there in a minute."
Jake nodded and flew out through the opening in the roof.
Pitch turned to me and the guardians. "I brought them here to show you what you're up against this time, and to show you what you missed. You have one more chance. Join me?"
I knew Pitch was referring to me since the other five were already guardians. "Never," I spat out. "I don't ever want to become that!" I pointed at Isla. "I have other plans anyway."
"Now that's just rude!" Isla exclaimed as she stepped toward me.
"Leave it, Isla," Pitch held up his hand. He looked me squarely in the eye. "You'll regret your decision." He muttered darky, before he and Isla vanished.
Jack turned to me. "You have other plans?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.
I grinned. "Yes. I'm joining you guys, if you'll still have me."
Jack grinned back. "If we'll still have you?" he repeated. "North! Get out that big book of yours! Elsa wants to become a guardian!"
