Ch 7

Elsa

When I walked back in my room I saw Jack staring at the moon out the window, as I closed the door he turned around and gave me a shy smile. I almost fainted then and there, his smile made me fell weak at the knees and warm and happy.

J:"Are you ready?" he asked with a hint of eagerness, whatever it was he was showing me he was trying really hard to hide his excitement.

E:"Uh yea yea! I'm ready, can I change into something a little more comfortable though? This dress is rather annoying." I said biting my lip nervously, the curiosity was killing me and I'm sure he didn't want to wait any more than I did.

J:"Sure Princess, I'll wait here" He said with a smirk yet again. He laid down on the window seat and started making snow figures with his staff in the air. I grabbed something out of my closet and went into the bathroom to change, unable to keep a giant smile from forming on my face.

Jack

Although Elsa looked beautiful in the dress she was wearing, it did look rather uncomfortable and heavy for the trip we were making. She went into her bathroom to change and laid on her bed, unable to keep the thoughts of the black sand coming into my head. While Elsa was gone I had informed the rest of the Guardians of what I'd found and they told me I should probably tell her about Pitch's plans with her. I didn't want to stress her out anymore tonight so I decided to tell her in the morning, the Guardians agreed and told me to check in with them after I talked to her. I froze the sand and tossed it out the window as she walked in, I was lucky she didn't see what I was doing. After a few minutes I saw her walk out of the bathroom and she took my breath away yet again. She could wear a dress made of trash and she'd still manage to look stunning. This time she was wearing her hair down, it was a lot longer than I expected, almost down to her waist. She wore a different nightgown, it was also form fitting, the skirt was lose and flowy like silk and there was light blue lace accents on the sleeves, bodice and the bottom. She held a matching robe in her hands, with more blue lace and some silver beading, it brought out the blue in her eyes a lot more than before, they looked like warm ice. She was breathtaking.

E:"Is.. is something wrong Jack…?" She asked nervously.

J:"Uh, no it's just…nothing, never mind. Come on let's get going we have a ways to go"

E:"Wait where are we going Jack? And how are we going to get there?" Towards the end of her question I caught a worried glimpse in her eyes, as if already knowing the answer.

J:"Well Princess, we're flying of course! Come on!"

I could tell she was both excited and mostly afraid

E:"What if I fall…?"
J:"Do you trust me?" I said as I stretched out my hand to her.

E:"What…?"

J:"Do you trust me?" I said with a smile, trying to sound soothing. It must have worked because she stepped onto the ledge and grabbed my hand.

E:"I trust you" She said as she looked into my eyes.

J:"Alright hold on tight!"
I grabbed her by the waist with both arms and she wrapped her arms around my neck and one of her legs around my waist. As I jumped, she gasped and buried her face in my neck. Her breath was warm and it sent chills down my spine. I loved holding her like this, it felt as if her body fit in mine perfectly like a missing puzzle piece.

J:"It's alright Elsa, I'll never let you go."

She turned her head slowly and started looking down, her grip however, only got tighter.

E:"Jack…it's beautiful"

We were flying over the fjords by now, and she was right the sight was beautiful. The moon reflected off the water beautifully, the snow sparkled like glitter in the moonlight. The mountain made a dark silhouette in contrast to the light from the moon. I looked at Elsa and she had the biggest smile on her face, like a child on Christmas morning.

J:"Wait till you see what I prepared for you"

E:"There's more?!" She asked in between giggles.

J:"Of course Princess! We're almost there."

A few minutes later I spotted the clearing where her present was waiting, I started to lower us onto the ground and as we got closer Elsa started fidgeting, and no doubt she was anxious to see what I'd done for her so far from her home.

J:"Alright, I need you to close your eyes. No cheating! We're going to walk for a little bit"
J:"Jack what?" She giggled "Ok, ok let's go!"

I put my hands over her eyes, after some protesting from her we started walking and I led her towards the forest. About 30 feet in we reached our destination.

J:"Alright are you ready?" I whispered in her ear, she flinched a little, probably surprised by how close I got. "Surprise!"

Elsa

J:"Alright are you ready?" he whispered in my ear, I flinched, not because he scared me, but because his breath was quite warm compared to our snowy surrounding. I wanted him to keep whispering tome, to whisper my name or that he…

J:"Surprise!" I opened my eyes startled at first, then I saw where we were. A small clearing in the forest, but there was no snow here only flowers. All kinds of flowers, red and white roses, purple tulips, goldenrods, lilies… the formed a circle around a rather large Ice statue. It was a beautiful snowflake, with swirly patterns in it and smaller snowflakes hanging from it. Suddenly it began to snow, and in no time the ground was covered again with the flowers popping out. Their color contrast was astonishing against the sparkling snow, I was breathless.

E:" Jack this is… it's beautiful!" I ran to the flowers and kneeled down to look at them closely. They were real. Where Jack had gotten them at this time of year anywhere and back here was a mystery to me, but no one had taken the time of day to do something like this for me. I felt something wet on my face and wiped it away, I realized I was crying at this point and I wasn't the only who noticed.

J:"You… you hate it don't you…" said Jack with a sad look in his eyes and hanging his head in disappointment, I couldn't bear to see him that way. It broke my heart in pieces, and I began to cry a little harder. I got up and walked back towards him taking his hand in mine.

E:"No Jack I love it, it's amazing! No one's ever done something like this for me before…."

To my surprise he put his hand on my face and got closer, I could feel his breath and it smelled like mint. It was intoxicating, and when I looked into his eyes I became lost…

J:"You look more beautiful with a smile on your face, you deserve to happy Elsa. And I promise as long as I'm your guardian I'll always try to make you happy. I also figured we could use this place to practice your magic once you got more advanced." he said with a smile playing on his lips.

E:"Jack… I…I don't know what to say… Thank you" He gave me a sweet smile and wiped a tear from my face he leaned in closer, our lips almost touching. I'm sure we were about to kiss when we heard twigs snapping close to where we were. I turned around and Jack grabbed me by the hand.

E:"Jack what… what was that…?"

He took a protective stand in front of me, not once letting go of my hand.

J:"We better go… come on" We ran back to the clearing we landed in, and as I wrapped my I felt something hit the back of my head. The last thing I remember was Jack yelling my name and seeing some black sand like substance on ground as I fell.
