Yay! Another chapter! Sorry for the short chapter, but at least the next one looks like it's going to be a longer one! I sadly do not own How to Train Your Dragon. :'(
Without further ado, here is chapter four of Gold and Black!
Elsa
There was something different about Jack when he burst fourth from the lake's icy grasp, but I just couldn't figure it out. I didn't really have time to let my mind wander as chaos was going on around me. But the thought lingered in my mind, and it nearly drove me insane.
That thought was put aside as the thought of what had just happened when I grasped Jack's hand entered my mind. I had felt a shock of cold travel from me to Jack, as if something had clicked, causing a power to travel from me to Jack. But I saw that as a ridiculous explanation. That's not even possible! Right? But I made myself stop pondering the event, and forced my mind to think about the present. Then, I noticed that my sister was in danger because of the advancing break in the ice. The lake had almost taken one victim, and I wouldn't let it take another.
After a brief pause, I rushed to come to Anna's aid. When I had arrived at her side, something came over me and I shouted, "Stop!" as I put my hands out in front of me to face the crack in the ice. To my surprise, the crack came to a stop and froze over where it was dangerously close to me and Anna. That seemed strange, but I would have to worry about that later. Anna was more important.
"Are you all right?" I asked, turning to face her.
My sister's eyes went wide with fear, and she backed away from me.
"Wha- what is it?!" I questioned. "I don't know what just happened, but we can figure it out together!"
Anna just continued to retreat away from me, ignoring my comforting words.
"There's nothing to be afraid of!"
"Yes, there is." She replied nervously but coldly, putting her hands out in front of her as if she needed them for protection.
"Well, then what is it?"
"You." Anna's voice was quiet, but the mixture of anger and fear swirled inside of that single word made it feel like she had slapped me in the face. Then, she turned away and ran.
"Anna, wait!" I shouted. I thought about running after her, but I knew that it would be useless to do so at the moment. Besides, I suddenly had a panicking kingdom, along with many visitors, to take care of. I choked back a sob as I once again saw my own sister leave me.
