Ch 11

Years passed, Elsa had just turned 21. Although she never got over her parents death, she was able to control her powers a lot more than before. Jack had been there for her through the past four years and today was the day of her coronation.

Jack

Four years had passed since Elsa's parents had died, she had never gotten over the pain of losing them but she had me and she had decided to let Anna get close to her again. She realized that she spent so much time pushing her family away she didn't have time to fully enjoy their company. Her and Anna had talked things out and Elsa convinced Anna that I was real and they could both see me now. Anna was like a little sister to me, fun, quirky, clumsy, she was the best. It was exactly what Elsa needed through these hard times. There had been no signs of Pitch either, he'd probably given up after he probably saw that Elsa's powers grew stronger and she was able to control them. But enough about that, today was a special day for Elsa, she was getting her make up ready for her coronation ceremony. She didn't really need any, she was stunning with or without it honestly, she managed to take my breath every day I saw her since the day I met her. She wore and high neck dress with black sleeves, the dress was teal from her chest down with gold and purple flowers on it, she wore a long purple cape and she had her hair in a bun. I preferred it down, her hair was too beautiful to be constrained. Regardless, she was a sight for sore eyes, she got up and put her gloves on. She was very nervous about the ceremony, she had told me she was scare she wasn't going to be able to be as good a ruler as her parents, that she would fail her people, and that her powers might be out of control again.

E:"Jack I'm not sure I can do this" she said to me in a small voice. She walked over to me and I gave her a small hug, I then pulled away and put my finger under her chin so she could look me in the eye. Her eyes were beautiful, icy blue and lined with thick black lashes, I looked at her. Taking her beauty in, the way he cheeks were a little rosy from the blush she put on, the small cupids bow on her upper lip, they looked so soft. I wanted to feel them against mine…Wait no.

J:"Elsa you can do this just remember deep breath in" we both took a deep breath "and out" and blew out. "Here I have something to help you."

I reached into my shawl and took out a small necklace. I had North make it for me, it was a silver chain with a silver snowflake with encrusted blue crystals hanging from it. She gasped and her eyes went wide in surprise.

E:"Jack it's beautiful!" I motioned for her to turn around and I put it on her. She then held it in her hand and tucked in her dress.

J:"When you get scared hold on to it, so you remember even if I'm not here physically I'm with you in spirit alright? You're going to do great."

E:"Must you go…?"

J:" 'fraid so princess, I'll be back in time for the party alright? The children need me, but I won't be long. I promise."

She gave me a warm smile and what she did next surprised us both. She gave me a small kiss on my cheek and the spot where her lips made contact with me felt warm. I wanted to take her in my arms and kiss her, tell her how I felt but I knew it wasn't the right time. Not yet.

J:"Um… I'll see you tonight. Good luck Princess!" I could feel myself blush in reaction to her kiss, so I waved and flew out the window towards the kids who needed a little fun to brighten up their day.

Elsa

I was waiting for the doors of the church to open, I was so nervous I could feel my powers begin to surge at the tip of my fingers. I could control them a lot better now but at the moment reality was hitting me harder than a wall of bricks. After my parents died our elected Prime Minister took over until I became of age and finished my training to become queen. Today was the day I accepted that responsibility in every sense of the word. I was also a little nervous about the kiss I gave Jack when he left this morning, I was so surprised at myself. I had been taught all my life "Conceal Don't feel", and as Queen now I needed to be proper and poised. The kiss showed a side of me I'd never really let out before, but I didn't regret it. Since Jack had come into my life things had changed a lot, I'd grown close to Anna once again, the control had over my powers grew, and I was beginning to be aware of my feelings for Jack. He made me feel warm and fuzzy in my stomach, like when you're hungry or something tickles, but it was more… pronounced I guess you could say. I saw the doors to the church begin to open and I straightened up. I'd worn my gloves as a precaution too, not knowing how much control I'd have today. I began to walk down the aisle and Anna was at the end waiting for me. The aisle seemed to stretch out forever, I started feeling like I needed air, I remembered the necklace Jack gave me and I grabbed it under my collar. It's cold feeling sending a wave of calm over me. I finally reached the end of the aisle, I vowed to our Father of the Church and he nodded in return. He motioned for me kneel and he then proceeded to place my mother's crown on my head and I stood up once more. It felt heavier than I expected, now I had a whole kingdom to look after, to protect it and if necessary, to give my life for it. The Father held the scepter and orb in a pillow and I was about to grab them when he cleared his throat.

F:"Your Majesty the gloves" he whispered. I took them off, feeling the burden of leading a kingdom, realizing how much more I had to give to my people.

But what if you fail…? What if you're powers get out of control? What if you disappoint your parents, even in death?

These thoughts plagued me, I saw some frost come out of my fingertips and slowly spread over the items in my hand. The father said something and as soon as he finished I put the items on the pillow, and put my gloves on. The people in the church yelled "Long live Queen Elsa!" and I vowed to them, I was grateful that they had so much trust in me to be able to lead them with a strong and wise hand. I walked back down the aisle with Anna right behind me, as we approached the door something peculiar caught my eye, there was something black at the foot of the door, it was like sand. I blinked and shook my head and it was gone. I was probably hallucinating, there's no such thing as black sand.
