Chapter 5: Signs
Jack POV
Break time was over. Me and Kristoff got back to work. We fashioned different kinds of ice sculptures; swans, queens, arches, miniature models (which I learned from north.) oh it was fun and beautiful. I always see Kristoff and I as a good team. He and I always took our work seriously, but always managed to make it fun.
The day was almost over. We just finished the last of the orders. We both took the ice sculptures, one at a time, in the delivery trucks. It was a sweating, but we managed.
"That's the last of them." Sighed Kristoff.
"Nice work, pal." I said as we gave each other high fives. We sat down to catch our breath.
"So, you heading to the Rink in central park again?" He knows me all too well. I like that about him.
"Yep. I sure am."
"You know Jackson, this place does have an ice skating rink in this place." He said stating the obvious. I know this place had a skating rink, but it was mostly just for making rinks and testing them. But still…
"I know. But it doesn't have the same feel as Central Park does." I began fantasizing. "The fresh air, the great outdoors, the wind in your face, even seeing children. It one of those things that you just love about. Especially in the winter." I finished. Kristoff just smiled.
Suddenly we heard a crash and whaling of a guy in agony. We both wasted no time and we rushed over across rooms and made our way to the carving room where we see a group of people gathered around. "What's going on!" I shouted pushing our way through. We see a guy stuck under a large cube of ice. His leg caught underneath and crying in agony. We see a few people trying to lift it up but not luck. "Kristoff, let's help these guys!"
"Right behind you!" He answered. We ran over to help. Kristoff grabbed to front while I grabbed the back. Together we managed to move it a little. Kristoff is a big guy, not as big as north though. And luckily for him he's strong; I even dare say he had the body of Arnold Schwarzenegger. We were making progress in rescuing the man, but it was still not enough. Even though I where this necklace I was still able to use a little bit of my power. At that is to make ice feel as light as a feather, well for me at least. And in no time the other dragged the injured man out. We dropped the ice down. We were breathless and sweating bullets.
"You ok, buddy?" He asked breathing heavily.
"Yeah. We did it buddy." I too was breathing heavily. We both forced a smile that was worth it and gave each other a high five. We then turned our attention to the man in pain. Everyone was worried as we are too. Me and him attended to the man's injury.
"Hang on. Let me take a look at your leg." Kristoff said rolling up his sleeves. The man nodded. Kristoff rolled up the man's pants leg. His leg was swollen to hell. "Ok I'm gonna tend to your wound." He assured him as he turned to me. "Jackson! Get a small cube of ice to put on the man's wound!" I nodded.
I ran towards the brick sized ice cubes and use a little bit of magic to make it a healing factor. No one noticed. Good. I ran back and gave it to Kristoff. "Ok, now gently put it over the wound." He instructed. It's a good thing Krstoff was the son of a good doctor. From what he told me his father taught him everything he new about medications. I put the ice over the man's wounded leg. He hissed in pain. No one seemed to notice but I used my powers while holding the cube on the wounded leg. Kristoff looked at his watch, and man's painful hissing began to decrease. "Ok now. Remove the cube slowly." So I did. Then everyone gasped in awe. Even Kristoff was at a loss for words. The wound was healed. Well almost. There was still a little bit of purple. Everyone clapped and applaud. We both were surprised by all this. We never had gotten this much attention. Since we were so used to being left alone, this was a lot to take in, but we were happy.
I suddenly noticed something on the ground. Then my eyes widened with shock. Black sand. I knew this sand anywhere. It was Pitch's sand. Manny was right. Pitch has returned. I started to get nervous. Have I been discovered?
Our boss, Mr. Arendelle, finally showed up. "What's going on here?" He demanded. Everyone all turned to him with gleeful expressions. They told him about the accident that happened on the man and how both me and Kristoff saved him. Kai Arendelle looked very impressed. "Are you two the ones who helped him?" We both nodded.
"Yes sir." I said.
"We are." Kristoff finished.
"Will you two please come to my office." He said with a smile. We agreed and got up and walked over.
We sat in his office. It nice, clean, and cozy. We both saw a picture of his family; Him, his wife, and his two daughters, Elsa and Anna. Kristoff was right Elsa does have a little sister. Our attention was drawn back to their boss complementing us. "You two did a very good job today. What are names?" Saw THAT one coming but no biggie.
"My name is Jackson Overland, sir." I said formally.
"And my name is Kristoff Rollingstone" I said the same way. Mr. Arendelle then flinched and turned to us in surprise.
"Wait a minute! You're Jackson and Kristoff?"
We both made a confusing shocked look. Turn to face each other. We both said "Uh yes, sir." in unison. Are we really that famous? If that's the case then why hasn't anyone noticed yet? We soon found out.
"I heard quite a bit from both of my daughters. You both were befriended by the both of them." He says turning to me. "You are that lonely boy Elsa was talking about. From what I heard you seem really nice." I was surprised. Never knew Elsa would say such nice things. He then turned to Kristoff. "And you. You must be the one Anna randomly befriended out of the blue." Kristoff raised an eyebrow in confusion. "That's so like Anna. Always the energetic one as ever." Mr. Arendelle laughed. I guess his children are comedic. "And your last name is Rollingstone? Tell me. Are you by any chance are you related to Pabbie Rollingstone?" Kristoff's eye shot wide open.
"Wait! You know my dad?" He said. Mr. Arendelle was very surprised.
"So you're his son? Wow this day is just full of surprises." He smiles greatly. He wasn't joking today is just full of them. The black sand was one of them and it worried me greatly. "You know I have to apologize." He says. We both were confused.
"Um why is that, sir?" I ask
"You two make such excellent work that I completely forget who makes them. I spend so much time with paper work consisting of requests, contracts and reviews, that I hardly have time." He shows us so much paper work he had that it was enough to make our eye widen and our jaws drop to the floor. I know what I said when I said that Mr. Arendelle focuses more on work than socializing with his employees, but this just blows my mind. "Our company has received so much reviews that I tend to forget to give credit to who" He continued. "And as a special bonus I'm promoting both of you and well and as bonus pay." He announced with energetic optimism.
"WHAT!?" We both shouted in unison. We were both shocked that we almost fell out of our seats. Ok so today's surprises just keep coming.
I walked through Central Park to Wollman Ice Skating Rink. The scenery of my surroundings was always beautiful, day or night. The green grass and trees, children playing. It fills me with such happiness. Especially in the winter when the snow blankets the world.
I was out on the rink. Skating around and taking in the sweet air. Skating like this reminds me of my old life when I was skating with my little Emma. She and I had so much fun together. Before the tragedy, before I became Jack Frost. I still feel sad thinking about what happened 300 years ago. I never saw my sister again.
"Hey!" Called a voice. I voice I recognized. I turned around fast to see none other than Elsa. Standing on the sideline. "Hi, Jack." She waved at me and smiling. I skated towards her.
"Hi Elsa" I greeted back. "What are you doing here?"
"I work here silly." She giggled. Makes sense I guess. But wait a minute, she called me Jack! Could it be…
"You called me Jack." I said a little nervous.
"Yeah, it's short for Jackson. I just thought I'd give you a nick name since we're friends." She smiled.
"Thanks you. I like that, Elsie." I went a little red. She giggled but then gave a confused look.
"Elsie?"
"Well, you gave me a nick name so I figured you deserve to have one too." I said scratching the back of my neck.
"Aw thank you Jack." She said and hugged me. I hugged back. Having friends is nice. I felt happy. We broke the hug.
"So I was wondering." She began. "If you ever want to bring the kids on a field trip you can bring them here if you want." I pondered on the thought.
"A field trip at the ice skating rink? That is a good idea-." I just realized. "Hey wait a minute. How do you know I teach kids?" Elsa's eyes widened as if she remembered something.
"Oh that's right." She said fiddling with her hands. "I kind of uh… sort of… um… fallowed you to the day care center." I was shocked by this. She fallowed me? Or rather stalked me? I started to move away slowly. "Oh my gosh!" She panicked. "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I-It's just that I wanted to learn more about you so I could be your friend." Her faced look apologetically sad. "I wasn't trying to blackmail you or anything. I'm really sorry." I let out a sigh of relief.
"So when do you want me to bring them?" I asked. Her head bolted up.
"Huh?"
"I mean, the kids. What day is good for you?"
"Oh um… any day is good with me."
"Cool. I'll call you." But then I just remembered. "Oh wait. I don't have your phone number." We both laughed. We both got out our cell phones and exchanged numbers.
"Well I got to get back home." I said giving back the ice skates. "I'll give you call about a specific time and date."
"Ok. I can't wait." She smiled. So full of life. I wish I was like that. We then waved each other goodbye.
I walked through Central Park in the even night. It was so peaceful. I actually wished it would last forever. I actually started to think that life was going my way. Suddenly I had this chill down my spine. Not the kind of chill you get when you're cold. This was the kind you get when you have a bad feeling about something. Then my eyes caught sight of a small amount of black sand slithering like a snake in the grass. Then I realized the direction it was heading. "Elsa!" I gasped. I had to do something. I know what I must do. I removed my necklace and placed it in my pants pocket. I reverted back to my Guardian form. Jack Frost is ready for action!
Chapter 5 done. The big something that will change Elsa's life forever is finally beginning. Thank you so much for being patient. I really do hope you're all enjoying the story so far. Read it, review it, and tell me what you people think. Thank you so much. :)
