Chapter 9: The Ballet
Jack's POV
North and I sat on the steps of the theater.
"North, stop worrying. She's the princess."
"I know. I know. But…"
"No you don't. I was the boy in the palace. The one who opened the wall. She is the real thing."
The realization of what I told him lit up his face.
"This means that our Elsa has found her family. We have four d the heir to the Arendelle throne. And you?"
"Will walk out if her life forever." I said as I walked away.
"But…"
"Princesses don't marry kitchen boys."
"I know but Jack…"
I stopped him. "We're going to go through with this as if nothing has changed."
North then grabbed my arms.
"You have to tell her."
"Tell me what?"
We both turned around to see Elsa standing behind us. She was wearing a dark blue cloak and had her hair in a French braid.
"How beautiful you look." I said as I offered her my arm.
"Well thank you." She replied and wrapped her arm around mine.
...
Once inside, I handed over our outer clothes to an usher. I then looked up to see the most beautiful sight.
There was Elsa. She had on a light blue dress that had snowflakes on it. Her train was almost like it was made of frost.
I quickly tried to get past the amazement. I ran past everyone to get to her. I then escorted her to our seats.
The ballet we were at was The Snow Queen. Elsa and I sat down. North sat behind. I pulled out my binoculars and looked to see the Empress.
I located them. The Empress was sitting next to Anastasia and Anita.
"Look there they are." I said giving Elsa the binoculars.
"Please let them remember me?" she whispered.
The ballet started. I noticed that Elsa seemed extremely nervous. She was twisting the program up. A very light snowfall appeared. I grabbed her hand.
"Everything is going to be fine." I said.
The ballet finally finished. I penned over to Elsa.
"Let's go."
...
We exited the booth and walked towards the royal booth.
Elsa tried to turn back.
"Hey, hey you've get this."
I tried to get her to follow me. Trying to get her to come, I ran into someone.
"Hey watch it!" I said, turning around.
I then saw Princess Anastasia on the ground. With a big blonde man helping her up.
"Oh my goodness. Your majesty. I'm so sorry."
The blonde man then rushed me and pinned me to the wall.
"Who are you!?" the man yelled.
"Kristoff, that's enough. I'm sure it was an accident." Anastasia said, pulling Kristoff back.
"But what if he's working for Hans?" Kristoff said.
"Hans is in prison because of what he did."
Kristoff shook his head and walked away.
Anastasia turned to us. "Im so sorry. That's my man, Kristoff Bjorgman. He's a little defensive because of what my ex fiancée did."
"It's no problem, your majesty." I said as I bowed. I motioned Elsa to do the same.
Anastasia extended her hand to Elsa. "I'm Anastasia, but you can call me Anna."
"Nice to meet you, Anna." Elsa said, shaking her hand.
Anna then started admiring Elsa.
"I love that dress."
"Thank you." Elsa said.
"Excuse me, you majesty. We must be going." I said.
We left Anna and walked to the door that led to the royal booth.
I turned to Elsa. "Wait here. I'll go in and introduce you properly." I turned to the door.
Elsa grabbed my arm. "Jack?"
"Yes?"
"Look, we've been through a lot together. And I just wanted to say, well thank you. I guess. Yes, thank you for everything."
I went to open the door, but then turned back.
"Elsa I…"
"Yes?"
I kept trying to talk but I couldn't.
Finally I just said. "Good luck." Then walked into the royal booth.
I walked up to Anita. "Please inform her majesty, The Empress Maria, that I have found Princess Elisia, her granddaughter. She's waiting to see her just outside this door."
Anita blocked me off. "I'm very sorry, young man, but The Empress Maria will see no one."
"You may tell that impertinent young man that I've seen enough Princess Elisias to last me a lifetime. Now if you'll excuse me, young man, I wish to live the remainder of my life in peace." Maria said.
Anita shrugged. "I'll see you to the door."
I wasn't giving up. I walked up to the Empress.
"Your majesty, I intend you no harm. My name is Jack Frost. I used to work in the palace."
"Well I haven't heard that one I must say." Maria said as she got up and began to walk away.
I ran up and blocked her from leaving.
"Your majesty, please just hear me out."
"I know what you're after. I've seen it before. Men who fashion girls to look like her, to sound like her, to act like her, but in the end it is never her."
"But if your highness would just listen. This time it is her."
Maria then pointed at me. "Jack Frost I've heard of you. You're that con men from Capital City who is holding auditions for Elisia look-alike."
"But your grace, we've come all the way from Arendelle to see you."
"And others have come from Timbuktu.
"But your majesty, it's not what you think." I said as I grabbed her hands.
"How much pain will you inflict on an old woman from money? Take him away."
Some of her guards grabbed me and started dragging me out.
"But she is Princess Elisia, I'm telling you. If you only speak to her, you'll see."
The guard threw me out and slammed the door. I then looked up to see Elsa, looking heartbroken.
"It was all a lie. You used me. I was a part of your con to get her money?" She started to walk away.
I began to follow. "No, no, no, no. Look it may have started out that way but everything has changed because you really are Elisia."
"Would you stop it! From the very beginning you lie to me, and I not only believe you I actually..." she groaned in anger and turned away.
"Elsa listen to me. When you talked about the hidden door and the boy listen, that was…"
"No! I don't want to hear anything about what I said I remember! You just leave me alone!"
I grabbed to try to stop her. But she slapped me then ran off.
"Elsa, you have to know the truth!"
"But is what you say true?"
I turned around to see Anna standing there.
"Are you the white haired boy that got us out?" Anna asked.
"Yes I am." I said as I bowed my head. "I even have this jewelry box to prove it." I pulled out the silver and light blue jewelry box and handed it to Anna.
She studied it. Then nodded. "I believe you. But getting my grandmama to believe will be difficult. Lucky, I have a plan."
So now Anna and Elsa have met.
But will Anna and Jack get Maria to believe that Elsa is Elisia. Find out in the next chapter.
