Chapter 5
"Hmmm…"
Elsa woke up with a fuzzy head and fuzzier hair. She forgot to undo her braid before she slept. She had a vague memory of what happened last night before she slept, or was it evening? All she could remember was she had a wonderful time last night, playing with her sister, Anna again like they used to. She managed to control her powers. How they screamed and laughed. A smile curved up her lips.
She started giggling. Ah…How wonderful it was to see her sister again after so long. She decided she will go see her now in her room in the palace. Will they have breakfast here? Maybe a chocolate fountain, perhaps? She remembered how much she loved chocolate. She just about decided what to order from the palace chefs when she sat upright and found herself not in her bedroom, no. She was sitting on a soft patch of green grass, swaying with the breeze. This may all sound really splendid. But it was probably her worst nightmare.
She should have screamed. But that was what you do when you wake from a nightmare. Not into one.
She was just too tired to cry. She sat there, in a daze staring at the colourful pool of dye beside her in the Warren. She rubbed the sleep out of her azure eyes and got up, straightening her dress. She almost died of a heart attack when Tooth came flying in from the tunnel right towards her.
"Good morning, love! Nice to see you up and cheery again." She beamed. Elsa couldn't help but smile back at her. It was hard not to as she was so enthusiastic. "Are you feeling okay? You look dazed. By right you should've had a great night's sleep with Sandy's help." Toothiana cupped Elsa's cheeks with a worried look on her face. It all came back to her again. How last night Jack broke the news to her that she must do something technically impossible and she started sobbing uncontrollably and froze the river beside her. Sandy put her to sleep with sweet dreams to prevent the Warren from turning into a frozen wasteland. She felt embarrassed and made a mental note to apologize to Bunnymund first thing she saw him.
Just at that moment, Jack came flying in through a magic portal holding what looked like a snow globe in one hand and a paper bag with the other. He was a good nine inches off the ground before he landed gently on his bare feet. His deep blue eyes met hers as he grinned and walked over.
"Thought you would've woken up by now." He walked over and handed Elsa the paper bag. " Breakfast is served your majesty." He gave her a smirk and half-bowed in her direction. Elsa rolled her eyes.
She opened it and saw some local pastries. Familiar food from what used to be her kingdom. "How did you get this?"
"I…" He ruffled his hair a little, looking worried. "I took a trip back to Arendelle. It didn't really improve much, frankly." Tooth frowned a little. Even she was finding it hard to keep happy and cheery. "How were the people?" Elsa said in such a quiet voice she was surprised Jack answered.
"Their…OK I guess. Trying to keep warm basically. I got these in the wee hours of the morning when they were asleep." He shoved his hands in his pocket and nodded towards the pastries. "If you're worried about us, you don't have to 'cause we guardians don't eat anyway." He shrugged. "What makes you think I'll worry about you?" A sly grin curled up her soft lips. She instantly regretted it because it was terrible to say things like that after all he'd done for her.
"Because I do."
Elsa was feeling guiltier than ever. But she was suppressing a huge smile.
"We all do, I mean. It's what we do. Care for each other." He smiled and winked at her.
The day was pretty uneventful with no sightings of Pitch.
The sun was setting.
"You should get some sleep, mate." Bunny patted her lightly on the shoulder after a day of idle activities, all she did was sniff flowers and hum and learn to draw with frost under Jack's supervision. However hard she tried, though she couldn't get it to turn out as beautiful as he did. Although none of the guardians said anything, she secretly knew they were just trying to get her to relax and hopefully forget the deadliness of her powers. It wasn't working though.
She went off to sleep. She wanted to eavesdrop while they were discussing things most probably to do with her in the middle of the night. After all, she was wide awake. It must've been Sandy's golden dream sand again because she fell into a deep sleep seconds after she rested her head against a pillow of grass and flowers.
The guardians exchanged grim looks. Jack was not enjoying this particularly when he was the guardian of fun.
He spoke first.
"We can't just stay here forever. Even if Pitch doesn't come first which is probably too much to hope for, she must learn how to thaw her frozen kingdom and to control her powers. We need a plan."
"You have any suggestions? Because this is possibly the only plan left. Hiding." Bunny swung his boomerang around his paws deep in thought.
"This is a much better plan than just hiding, you know guys?" Toothiana smiled hopefully. "With a little help she can practice little by little here 'till she gets the hang of it." Bunny frowned a bit at the thought but just kept quiet.
Sandy nodded slowly and gave a hopeful smile.
"Its probably the best we can do, for now. Let her calm down and then we'll see. We shouldn't be such...worrywarts. Take things slowly." North pressed his lips into a straight line. It was the best smile he could muster at the moment.
"While we can." Jack sighed.
Elsa woke with a start.
She was sweating all over even though it was spring here and the night air was cooling. She had a nightmare of Anna being frozen because of her, and…died. She gave her head a little shake to clear things up. Not real she said to herself. Not real…
She breathed in and out slowly to stop her heart from racing a mile a minute. She brushed off her sweat with the back of her hand and got up. How she had nightmares even with Sandy's golden dream sand, she didn't know. All she knew was that she had to get a breath of fresh air. She felt trapped under her thin blanket. It felt stupid because she wasn't in a room anyways, how could she feel trapped?
She smoothed down her hair and put it in a simple ponytail unlike her usual braid. She got up and left her makeshift bed.
She continued walking until she saw a huge rock directly under the pale moonlight. Perfect for calming down. Except it was occupied.
She walked over and saw Jack talking while looking up at the pure, bright moon. He had a faraway look, and didn't notice her.
After what seemed like ages, she decided to go over rather than go back to her bed where she would probably have to face more nightmares. At that same moment, Jack let out a sigh and turned to face her. He raised an eyebrow but other than that was very calm.
He watched as she walked over to him. A mysterious person she was, but it was plain to see she wasn't all that cold and classy from what you see on the outside. She didn't know but it was obvious she was warm and caring at the same time.
He shifted to the side a bit to make space for her.
"What are you doing?" She asked shifting her gaze from him to the moon.
"Sorting things out."
He had been talking to Man in Moon. Asking him for advice. He was a guardian, not a regular human. He didn't know if it was possible to feel something for someone that wasn't just the children he protected. He felt something strong for Elsa, definitely. But he didn't know what it was.
"Sorting things? Could I help?" She looked at him in concern.
"I don't know myself." He let out a short laugh and turned to face her. She did so too. They just noticed their faces were very close together. Maybe a couple of inches. But the gap felt like it should be even smaller.
Jack leaned in. Elsa's heartbeat raced. She felt his warm breath against her cheeks. But his lips just missed hers.
She felt his teeth against her nose.
Yup...
