Ch 49

Jack

It had been nearly three days since Elsa went into a coma, I never left her side during those days. Sometimes I would talk to her about some memories we'd made when she was still human. Like the time I took her to the glowing beach, or the times we'd share breakfast in her room together.

A few of those times when I would talk to her, I could swear I would see her eyes flutter. Or I would see her blush slightly when I spoke to her about the many kisses we would share.

Sometimes I thought I was making those things up to just get me through her sleep induced state.

Other times I couldn't take it and I would just cry and tell her, no, I would beg her to come back to me, and I would tell her how much I missed her the 100 years I believed she was dead. That was the only time I knew I wasn't crazy when I saw a tear roll down the side of her face.

I instantly went to caress her cheek, and I couldn't believe how even in her sleep she could look so beautiful.

The other guardians checked in every now and then to see how I was doing. We'd also managed to take Elsa back to her castle, that's where she belonged, in her ice kingdom, and I would be at her side every minute of it.

At the end of the third day I wasn't sure what happened, but somehow I had fallen asleep and dreamed of her.

We were in a vast meadow and running side by side while holding hands. We had used our powers to make a snowman and we even had a snowball.

I had never been so happy!

We ended up lying next to each other on the grass while looking up at the sky and we tried to make out the different shapes the clouds were making.

E:"That's a pig!" she as she giggled and pointed at one of the hundreds of clouds rolling by.

J:"What? No it looks more like a snowman! I think you need glasses…" I said laughing at her while she lightly punched my arm.

I managed to grab her arm and we began play fighting and rolling down a small hill together.

When we stopped rolling I ended up on top of her and were both trying to catch our breaths.

I stared deep into her eyes and couldn't help but notice how amazing she looked in the light blue dress she was wearing, it was so thin and had thin straps, but it flowed like the robes of a goddess.

J:"I wish this wasn't a dream… I wish you would come back to me in real life Elsa…"

She reached up and stroked my hair, then her hand moved so as to cup the side of my face. I leaned into her gesture and she smiled.

E:"Wake up Jack… I'm already home…" she whispered.

I vlinked a couple of times and suddenly I was awake again. I was a little confused but then I ran a hand through my hair, I needed to get up and stretch a little, I had been sitting for three days straight and I felt all stiff.

I was getting up and I began to walk towards the balcony when I felt someone grab my hand. My heart skipped a beat and my eyes widened.

I turned around and saw Elsa, her eyes big and sparkling. She was awake…

E:"Hello Jack…" she said with a smile. I threw myself on top of her without thinking and cried as I held her.

Well honestly, it felt like she was holding me as she stroked my hair and kissed my forehead.

J:"Elsa! God I missed you! Are you okay? I was so worried…"

E:"Shhh I'm okay… I remember everything now… everything that happened before I died… and in my dreams I saw Anna…"

She said a little sad, it was understandable, she lost her sister without even really realizing it. She continued talking.

E:"She showed me what happened while I was dead, her whole life, and yours… Jack… I am so sorry for what I put you through… I-I didn't know…" and this time it was her who was crying and we just held each other for what felt like an eternity. At last my Elsa as back.

Elsa

We stayed in each other arms all night. Not really speaking, just holding each other.

I'm not sure why, if it was for fear of losing each other again, or to try and make up for the century we were apart.

I didn't care, I never wanted to leave his side again.

In the morning we got up together and we out for a walk In the forest around the mountain.

We made small talk and simply walked.

Yet there were a few things we still needed to discuss.

I think he must have read my mind since after a while he stopped walking and he scratched his head, as if trying to figure out how to tell me something.

E:"Jack what's wrong?"

J:"There's something I need to talk to you about… well a few things actually." He began to say.

E:"Well go on... You're making me nervous…"
J:"It's nothing bad I swear Princess, but since Manny brought you back… we assume it's because he wants you to be a guardian. You don't have to accept but if you do we have to get you sworn in and we-"

E:"I'd love to do it!" I said interrupting him, his eyes widened in surprise, then I threw myself around him with a little too much effort and we both landed on the snow.

We laughed as we hit the ground and I grabbed some snow and threw it at him. That started our snowball fight, something we hadn't done in a while.

Between throws and giggles there were a few kisses, and I couldn't believe this was real, I was really with Jack for the rest of eternity.

After a while we stopped and we made our way back to the castle, it was getting dark out and Jack needed to get back to his Guardianship, which he'd left unattended while I was knocked out.

He walked me to the door of the castle and I was ready to say goodbye but he just stared at me.

E:"Uh Jack… Is everything okay…?"

J:"Yes… uh everything is fine… but there's something I need to do. Something I was going to do a long time ago…"

He then got down on one knee and the reality hit me as he began to speak.

J:"Elsa… I love you more than my own life, you are my best friend, my soulmate and I want to spend the rest of eternity with you now more than ever… So to make this easy… will you marry me…?"

I held my hand up to my mouth in disbelief. I began to cry as I nodded and wrapped my arms around him, still kneeling down.

E:"Yes! Of course I'll marry you Jack!" and without thinking I kissed him. Something I hadn't done in a hundred years…
