Ch 22
Jack
I really wanted to talk to Elsa about us becoming an item, but how was I going to bring that up? We'd almost had sex sure but that was different from being in a relationship. We stood there in silence, and it became a little awkward but I manned up and broke the silence.
J:"So uh… What happened with Anna and Hans? I thought they were engaged?" maybe that could get us to the topic of us.
E:"Oh! Well it's a long story really but here I'll tell you." She said and sat on the bed and she patted the spot by her and I sat listening to the story. After she told me, I was no longer surprised at why she had punched him so hard, I would have done the same or probably worse…
J:"I can't believe he told her no one loved her! And well yea I would have beat him to a pulp Elsa I would never say anything like that to you…" And it was true, I would never hurt her like that, I loved her. Seeing her in pain felt like a thousand knives stabbing my chest, like I couldn't breathe no matter how hard I tried.
E:"I know Jack and well…"
J:"Wait there's something I want to ask you…"
E:"What is it?" she said, a little too excited which she noticed, since she blushed a little bit.
J:"Elsa I love you and I was wondering if you would also like to become my girlfriend…" and before I said anything she threw her arms around my neck and kissed me. After a few seconds she let go and looked into my eyes, I couldn't get enough of her eyes…
E:"Yes Jack…" she breathed and I pulled her in for another light kiss, and that's when we heard the small clock in her room ding. I couldn't believe it was already midnight!
I caught her trying to stifle a yawn, so I picked her up and she gave a small yelp of surprise.
E:"Hey! I want to talk I'm not tired…" *yawn*" I swear." She said but I wasn't convinced.
J:"Princess you need your sleep, you have a kingdom that needs you remember? Don't worry I'll stay with you the whole night. I promise." I said as I laid her on the bed.
I got under the covers with her and she had her back towards me. I wrapped my arm around her waist and slipped the other one under her head. Then she turned around and was now facing me. God she was gorgeous!
J:"You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen Elsa…I can't get enough of you. And I would never get tired of just looking into your eyes…" She blushed lightly at my comment, but I meant every word of what I said.
E:"You're so sweet and I feel the same way I'd never grow bored of running my hands though your hair or kissing you or just lying in your arms like this." As her words trailed off I kissed her once more, not with the same passion as we had earlier but it was a kiss so soft like a whisper yet I could feel my love for her course through my body. She was the one for me and I thanked Manny for giving her to me every day.
Elsa
I was sitting in the garden at the castle and it was summer, the colors of the flowers were bright and beautiful. Their contrast against the grass was stunning, I would never tire of looking at them. I felt someone put their hand on my shoulder and I knew who it was instantly.
E:"Jack!" I screamed with joy while wrapping my arms around his neck.
J:"Hello princess, I've missed you…" and he leaned in to kiss me, I met him halfway and our kiss was so sweet and tender. His arm wrapping around my waist to pull me closer and my hands running through his hair. He was so perfect, so beautiful and kindhearted and cold…
Wait a minute. Cold? I opened my eyes and he was freezing, like Anna had, with his eyes being the last to turn ice cold. The look he was giving me pleading and telling me it was my fault. I had frozen him and ruined things once again. I was on the ground sobbing. When suddenly I felt another hand on my shoulder. I looked up and it was Jack! No longer frozen, healthy and alive. I threw myself at him but he pulled away quickly.
E:"Jack what's wrong darling? I thought I'd lost you! God I love you!" and I kissed him once more but it wasn't the same. He wasn't responding so I pulled away and looked at him.
E:"W-what's wrong…? Did I do something wrong…?"
J:"Elsa it's over, I-I'm so sorry but… I found someone else. Someone who's not afraid to be who she really is. I'm sorry really I am I hope you understand…" and a girls with dark hair and blue eyes came out from behind him. My heart felt like it had been shattered to a trillion pieces and nothing could mend it.
E:"Jack… no I promise I'll change! Please!" I was on my knees begging him not to leave but all he did was pull away.
J:"I'm sorry… goodbye Elsa…" and he walked away. I laid on the ground and cried. At one point I stopped and I just stayed down, feeling numb and cold. Like my life had just ended… And it began to snow. The voice in my head suddenly began talking. I hadn't heard it in so long I forgot how terrifying it was.
"I'm closer than you think Ice Queen. You'll be mine soon enough and your Jack will be long gone…."
And with that I screamed, something stabbed my heart but it felt like it went deeper and then everything went black…
J:"Elsa! Wake up! Elsa!" I heard Jack yell and I sat up, and I felt my body shake.
J:"What's wrong? No don't cry just take deep breaths come on in? I breathed in "and out" I let it out and felt my body spasm from crying so hard.
E:"Jack I-I froze you in my dream and then you were fine but you left me for someone else and I heard a voice saying it was going to take you away…" the tears came harder, Jack just held me. Somehow he'd managed to pull me onto his lap and he cradled me until the tears ended. I felt so confused, who was after me and why was that voice in my head so much? Little did I know this was only the beginning of my torture…
