Ch 42

Elsa

When I first walked into the castle I'm not quite sure what I was expecting to see, but a statue of me was for sure not one of them.

It stood in between a grand staircase, and after I got over the shock of seeing it I began to wonder who made it and why. I began to question who even made this grand castle so high up in the first place.

E:"Hello…?" I said as I walked around the statue and towards the stairs. I was afraid of trespassing but then again the monster at the front seemed not to care. Almost as if he knew me or something.

"Is anyone here?" I said a little louder while ascending the stairs. So much detail had been put into the structure, everywhere I looked there was intricate snowflake designs. Each one different from the others, it was absolutely beautiful.

When I got to the top of the stairs there was two hallways, at the end of one hallway there was a large door, and at the end of the other hallway was balcony. From here I could see the sun was beginning to set. I figured the hall with the doors were probably going to be a lot more interesting than the balcony.

I tried calling out once more, hoping someone or something would answer me.

But there was still no response. I kept walking and made it to the door. Should I knock? Should I just go in? No I should knock, that was the polite thing to do. Then again I was already trespassing on whoever's home this was.

But for the sake of God knows what I decided to knock. No one answered however, so I just opened the door and stepped inside.

It was a large bedroom with its own balcony, a large canopy bed sat on one end of the room and a small fountain at the other end. It was truly breathtaking, and somehow it felt… familiar. Like I had been here before.

I kept looking around, touching the beautiful vine details on the doors, the beautiful snowflakes on the end posts of the bed. The way the canopy shimmered as the last rays of sun hit it.

If it hadn't been for the obvious fact that the room got darker, I would have stayed in the room forever. I needed to leave, whoever lived here was probably on their way back or something.

Before I left I decided to check the balcony, it was only place I didn't inspect while I was in the room. As soon as I stepped out I was almost knocked off my feet. The view was out of this world.

In the distance I could see a small village surrounded by the immense forest on one side and a lake that probably led out to the ocean on the other. The moon shone bright against the water and the stars adorned the sky like jewels.

I walked back inside, suddenly self-aware that this wasn't my home. Yet somehow it felt like it, but until I got the answers I needed I couldn't be caught as an intruder.

I looked around the room one last time and when my eyes landed on the open door of the balcony I saw a dark figure standing there. Staring at me. It said nothing and I didn't dare speak to it, what if he punished me for coming in uninvited?

What if he was dangerous?

These fears were interrupted when he said one word, barely audible.

He said my name.

Jack

The night sky in Arendelle was especially clear tonight, it had been a very long time since it had looked so stunning.

The stars surrounded the moon like a diamond necklace, and the light reflected in the still waters od the fjords.

I made my way to the castle, I had spent the past couple of weeks there every night.

I don't know why I did that, it only brought back memories of her, and when she created the breathtaking structure.

As I flew back I felt like I needed to rush to the place, I had no idea why but I had a felling something was going to happen. Like always the castle was untouched, lonely, and empty.

Like my soul had been ever since she was gone.

So you can probably imagine my surprise when I saw a girl standing in the middle of the bedroom.

A first I was furious, how dare someone intrude on the place that held her very essence? No one was allowed in here, no one had ever even gotten through Marshmallow downstairs. So who was she?

She was looking around the room, taking her time looking around. I was about to say something to her when she turned around and it felt like I had been punched in the stomach.

J:"Elsa…?" was all I managed to mumble out. Suddenly fear struck her eyes and she took a step back.

It was her. No it couldn't be she was dead. The funeral, everyone but me was there.

E:"H-how do you know my name…? She asked as she held her hands up as a sign of protection.

This girl even knew what Elsa did when she was afraid.

J:"This is a joke right? Wait no I've gone crazy!" I threw my hands up in exasperation and ran back out to the balcony.

J:"Manny! You have done a lot of stupid thing but THIS-" I yelled as I looked at the girl. "This is the last straw…" I was about to fly off when I felt someone pull at my sweater.

E:"Wait! You know… the Man in the Moon?"

In the moonlight it was terrifying how much like Elsa she was. She looked just like her but somehow a bit paler, it that was even possible. Through my sweater I could feel how her hand wasn't cold, nor warm. It felt the same as my hand.

That's when it hit me. Could it be possible? Was this really true?

Had Manny brought her back after all this time?

I got closer to her, and stared down into her crystal clear blue eyes. Oh how I could lose myself in them…

J:"What's your name?"

E:"What? I's Elsa you ju-"

J: "What is your name?" I asked again cutting her off.

E:"Elsa…"

J:"And how do you know this?"

E:"The moon told me so…"
