Ch 44
Elsa
That night I slept like a baby. Surprisingly the bed was quite comfortable despite the fact that it was made of ice.
I woke up early and felt even more rested than when I first came out of the lake.
As I looked around I saw Jack still scrunched up on the small couch in the room.
He truly was breathtaking. As I watched him an image popped in my head. Another vision.
E:"Wait where are we going Jack? And how are we going to get there?" I was rather worried, it was quite late, what if someone saw us?
J:"Well Princess, we're flying of course! Come on!"
I was both excited and afraid. Flying?!
E:"What if I fall…?"
J:"Do you trust me?" He said as he stretched out his hand to me.
E:"What…?"
J:"Do you trust me?" He said with a smile, it was rather soothing. I then stepped onto the ledge and grabbed his hand.
E:"I trust you" I said as I looked into his eyes.
J:"Alright hold on tight!"
He grabbed me by the waist with both arms and I wrapped my arms around his neck and one of my legs around his waist. As he jumped, I gasped and buried my face his my neck.
J:"It's alright Elsa, I'll never let you go." He said.
And the vision ended.
J:"Elsa are you alright? Was it another vision?"
E:"Yea… it was of you again. We were flying somewhere, I'm not sure where to be quite honest. I think it was the first time I had ever flown with you. It was scary and yet very, very exciting." I said as a grin spread on my face. Maybe Jack and I had had a relationship before. The thought of it gave me butterflies in my stomach.
Although I had no memory of him something told me he was a big part of my old life. It was exhilarating to think he could help me remember that old life. I was ready to see what I had accomplished and who I had been.
Jack
After she told me of her second vision I was beginning to feel a little more hopeful. I really didn't want to have to take her to Tooth's place. Even though it was the easiest war for her to remember all that, some things may be a lot for her to handle so for now I would help her remember as much on her own as possible.
J:"Alright, well I definitely remember that. The look on your face when we first took off was priceless." I said as I laughed hard. Something I hadn't done in a long time.
E:"Hey! That's not funny!" She said, I could tell she was trying very hard not to laugh. She made a gesture like she was going to hit me but instead something cold hit my face.
It was a snowball.
I looked at her and she looked shocked. No it was more than shocked. She looked terrified.
E:"D-did I really do that…?" She asked as her hands rose to her cover her mouth.
J:"Hey it's alright. We used to have snowball fights all the time." I said as I rushed to her side and put my arm around her shoulders. She looked at me and we stood there for a while.
I felt my hand suddenly run across her cheek. She instantly blushed and broke our stare as she looked away embarrassed. I could never get over how beautiful she was.
She was the picture of perfection.
E:"I..Jack… did we you know… have a relationship before I woke up…?"
J:"Well… yes we did. In fact… the ring you are wearing. I was getting ready to propose to you but something happened. I won't tell you what because I'm hoping you will remember it in time. And that was a long time ago Elsa, but I never stopped loving you…" I said it. I had told her what she meant to me. And the look in her eyes seemed a bit apprehensive. Like she was trying to grasp the concept of what I just told her.
E:"You said last night it was a century ago… what did you do in all that time that I was gone?"
This part I couldn't tell her. She would think I was a pathetic coward. I bit my lip as I tried to figure out what to say to her.
J:"Well… I would visit the children of the world." Which was true "And I am the spirit of winter so I would bring it where it needed to be and that would take up most of my time. But this is where I live now." Still true sort of.
E:"I see… Well…I don't want to hurt your feelings. Don't get me wrong deep inside I feel like… you were a big part of my life before… I want to remember all the good times we had before we… you know begin our relationship again. If that's okay with you."
It didn't hurt to hear that, it actually made me happy. Deep down inside she knew. She knew what we had, how deep or love really ran. It made me want to cry.
I leaned in and kissed her forehead.
J:"I understand. Are you ready to start remembering your old life princess?"
She nodded and I grabbed her hand as I led her out to the balcony.
J:"Alright, we're going to fly again. I'm going to take you to your old castle down in Arendelle. Then we'll go to the special place I made for you. I've kept it up for you."
E:"Alright… I think I'm ready."
J:"One more thing. You need to realize there are things you may not like to remember. There was a lot you went through, a lot of things happened to you. I just want you to know that I'll be there with you every step of the way. If at any point you feel like it's too much we can leave or take a break or whatever you need okay?"
E:"Yes, I understand. And thank you Jack for doing this for me…" She said as she gave me a peck on the cheek. I could feel my smile return.
J:"Alright, hold on tight!"
