DeFrosted

Chapter 21

(Elsa)

I laughed at yet another of Jack's hilarious jokes. He was unbelievably perfect. Incredibly Funny, and ridiculous, yet extremely sweet and good natured.

We were walking along a beautiful stream. We reached a breathtaking waterfall, crystal clear water rained down and poured onto the multi colored rocks below. On the opposite side sat a beautiful weeping willow tree that dangled into the water. Birds and butterflies flew all around. The scenery was almost impossible. Magical if you will.

He looked over to me and smiled for the longest time not saying a word.

"What?" I asked curiously.

"Your are so beautiful, Elsa of Arendale." he stated more to himself then to me.

I stood there in awe for the longest time just staring at his perfect pale complexion.

Then next I did something I never dreamt I would do. The most scandalous and unladylike thing for a queen like myself. But I could not help it.

I put my both arms around his neck and pulled him so close that I could feel his cool breath on my face. He looked down at me and smiled, wrapping his hands around my waist. I melted in to his arms then I delicately placed my lips on his...

Beep beep beep....

I woke up to the loud sound of highly annoying beeping.

"Don't be frightened Elsa, it's just the timer on the oven." I hear Jack call out from a distance. Having absolutely no idea what he is going on about.

I rubbed the tiredness from my eyes and the realization of the dream hit me.

Jack walked into the room and smiled at me. "Sorry I didn't mean to wake you. I was just making breakfast" He said, placing a glass pitcher of orange juice and 2 glasses onto a table made of solid ice in the center of the cabin.

My eyes landing on his lips as I thought about the amazing kiss I had dreamt about...that never happened I reminded myself. Somehow I felt..Disappointed?

I had never been kissed before. I'd seen it done though, Sweet little kisses shared between my sister and her courtier. The ice deliverer, one called Kristoff, when they thought I was not looking. But I myself had never experienced this.

"Is there something on my face?" He asked wiping at it with the sleeve of his sweater.

I snapped out of it. "No" I laughed nervously.

He just shrugged it off. "How did you sleep?" He asked.

I gasped. Did I say something in my sleep? Anna once told me I talk in my sleep. Does he know how I feel about him? Wait, Do I feel things for him?

"Marvelous." I answered truthfully.

He smiled once again. He really needs to stop doing that. It's really distracting. He walked back into the kitchen and came back out with 2 plates full of a meal that I have never seen before. I stood up and straightened out my blouse before walking over and sitting down into one of the matching chairs he must have created as I slept.

He placed it In front of me then poured 2 glasses of Orange juice.

"Thank you" I said as he placed one in front of me. I then looked down at my food. "What is it?" I asked pointing at my plate

"It's a egg cheese and bacon casserole" he answered before placing a part of his 'casserole' in his mouth with his hands.

He saw my hesitation on eating my meal. "Your Highness, it's not like it would kill you to try it."

I rolled my eyes at him then decided that it would just be best to eat. After all I am starving.

"Sorry I couldn't find any forks or knifes In the kitchen, your kinda gonna have to eat it with your hands." He shrugged apologetically.

Eat with my hands? Fat chance. I thought. But then I realized creating a set of utensils out out ice wouldn't bode down well when met with this steaming meal. I decided to suck it and tore a piece off with my fingers.
My mouth exploded! Or at least my taste buds did. It was absolutely delicious!

"Jack Frost this thing is extraordinary!" I exclaimed before shoving another, much larger piece into my mouth.

He laughed. "I am glad you like it."

We continued eating and occasionally I drank some of the yellowish fruit juice. I watched as Jack's roughly combed hair started to fall in front of his blue eyes. I loved when his hair would did that. It made him look quite adorable.

Elsa stop it right now! You can't be thinking about him like that! You are a Queen. Even if that did not matter he definitely does not feel that way towards you. Why would he? Also you will be bidding him farewell soon when... If he can send you back home.

"Are you ok?" Jack asked snapping me out of my thoughts.

No, No I am not ok! My sister is gone my kingdom is gone and we are probably on some wild goose chase to get it all back and to top it off instead of keeping my self focused and together I am falling apart, ...and I think I am falling for you!!

"I'm fine" I lied putting on my best false smile.

"I don't buy that you know." He said getting off of his seat and pulling his chair next to me so he sat directly in front of me.

Am I that obvious?

"You lost your family, friends and your home. And then you wake up 1000 years in the future to face all that pain and grief." He looked me in the eyes and I could swear he was looking at my very soul. "I have lived for so many years Elsa, and the people I loved kept dying. And It hurts, I know. What people tell you is a lie, The pain does not go away."

I felt tears well up in my eyes. Why was he telling me this?

"But I can say this, eventually the loss becomes your strength and you use that strength to keep you going, to keep fighting. It never goes away, but it does get easier, I promise."
He put his hand on mine and gave me a reassuring squeeze.

"I am sorry Jack"

"For what?"

"For your life. The way you have to live it is unthinkable. You could never get close to anyone without worrying when it's their time to go. It just sounds awful. I am sorry."

He had a painful look in his eyes but soon a smile washed over it.

"There is that. Yes there is. But there is also what I do. My power, this cold magic we both share. I bring joy and happiness to countless children around the world. Without me there would be no winter, no snow, and no fun. To see their smiling and happy faces makes it all worth while." He finished with a small smile.

I smiled back. Then realized his hand was still on mine. I pulled it back in surprise but then regretted it when I saw the hurt on his face.

He stood up, brushing the crumbs off himself. "You better bathe and change into a clean set of clothes while I clean up around here. We leave at 3:00" he said coldly.

Then he stormed out of the living room and back into the kitchen.
