Chapter 13: Water Creates Ice
You swear you have ran around this school three times. You surprisingly haven't seen Kristoff running around either. Maybe that's just a coincidence. You don't know where to look? Where could he have run off too? He doesn't know the area. He wouldn't know where to go.
You turn into the athletic hallway. All the jocks and such are usually gathered here. You find someone holding Eugene against the wall. Eugene looks untouched, but you fear that will soon change. You recognize the one holding him against the wall. It's one of Hans' friends.
"Parker, let him go!" You yell.
You move in close proximity to the two.
"Oh, hey (Y/N). Nice of you to show up. This man is extremely unfriendly," Eugene says.
"Shut up!" Parker snarls, pushing harder on Eugene.
"What's the problem here, Parker?"
"This little shit got on my nerves!"
"That's stupid," you mutter.
"You're stupid!" Parker barks.
You pinch your nose to his idiocy. You know Parker isn't bright, even though you've only talked with him a few times. He never could write properly either. It's a simple concept that you sat down and explained to him but he just made jokes and tried to hit on Elsa.
"Listen, Parker, we really don't have time for this. How about you let Eugene go and we all walk away? Seems nice, right?"
Parker looks at you with anger then back at Eugene. He snarls then lets Eugene go. He walks away, ranting to himself.
Eugene rubs his neck. "Thanks (Y/N), that guy really meant business."
"What'd you do to him?"
"Actually, it's what I did to his brother," Eugene clarifies.
You wait for him to continue, but he doesn't. He simply brushes himself off.
"Are you going to tell me?" You ask.
"What? Oh, yeah sure." He clears his throat. "Shortly before I met Rapunzel I had this group of friends. They were into some bad stuff: stealing, drugs. Things like that. They used to call me Flynn. I almost forgot that wasn't my real name. Anyway, I didn't agree with them at one point. I gave them up, but they found out. They chased me for a while but I hid in this house. Or so I thought. That's how I met Rapunzel, actually."
"And one of the guys you gave up was Parker's brother?"
Eugene nods his head. "So that was my story. Mind if I ask you something now?"
The two of you begin walking to the office. "Yeah, go ahead."
"How did you get all those scars?"
You pause for a moment. You aren't sure whether to tell him. You don't mind telling him about you, but it reveals Elsa's secret.
"I got in a big fight. This is what I get. Don't feel like much of a winner," you say giving a weak smile.
"That's vague," he notices.
You sigh. "I'll tell you the whole story later. I need to ask someone for permission."
"Why?"
"It has someone else's secret tied into it."
Eugene thinks of pressing forward but ignores it. He respects that you are protecting someone's secret.
"But you will tell me if they agree?"
You nod in agreement.
"I like you," he chuckles.
You both make it to the office and call Kristoff down. It doesn't take long for him to arrive.
"Eugene! You gave us a scare!" Kristoff chuckles.
"I'm glad you guys care so much," Eugene responds.
"Well, to be honest we were just terrified of what the girls would do to us if you went missing," you admit.
Eugene laughs. "Yeah, that's a pretty scary thought."
You all laugh. The bell rings, signifying lunch time. You were surprised that it was time to eat already. The day really went by quickly. You start to wonder what the girls may be doing. Talking, most likely. Anna would talk about some new dresses she got and her love of chocolate. You she would do it because you were the victim of that vary conversation.
You can't say how Elsa would be. You've never seen her with Rapunzel, so you can't determine what she'll act like. Probably more open than she used to be. At least you hope she is.
You all enter the cafeteria. You take time to look around. Take in what is happening. The place is broken up into cliques. There are the expected ones: Nerd and jock. There are some hipsters in the corner. You can hear them talking about some coffee shop.
"That doesn't help the stereotype, guys," you whisper.
You always loved watching other people. It helped remind you of innocence. Yours is long gone after everything you've experienced. But all these kids are still innocent, in a way. Sex, drugs and crime can ruin that. But they still have a general innocence. It's doubtful that all of these kids will end someone's life. That is an innocence they won't lose.
While looking around you notice someone. His blue hair gives him away. It's Rain!
"I have to go talk to someone, I'll be back in a second," you tell your friends.
They nod.
You jog over to where Rain is. He is sitting alone – which is surprising given the amount of people here. He is twirling his thumbs. Not giving a care to the world around him.
"Is he expecting me or something?" You think.
"Rain!" You call out, still walking towards him.
He snaps out of his stare and turns to see you. He lets out a small smile.
"What're you doing here? Don't tell me you go to school here," you ask.
"No, I was actually hoping to find Elsa here. Do you know where she is?"
You let out a small smile. "She's at home. She and Anna get the week off."
He looks back at his thumbs, obviously in thought.
"You okay, Rain?"
He looks at you then lets out a goofy smile. It looks relative to the one you usually do.
"I'm fine, I just want to formally meet her."
You find it almost funny that he is so shy. So normal. The only other elemental users you've seen have been ones trying to kill you. Rain seems average. Elsa is this way too. Just normal people with completely abnormal abilities. Then again, you haven't been the most average guy lately.
"What could be the harm in it..?" You think.
"Hey, how about you come over? You can meet Elsa and maybe start training with her."
Rain looks up at you. You have such happiness in your eyes. Just with your eyes, he can see you are truly happy. That you mean what you say.
Rain nods his head. "Alright, I'll come with you."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Kristoff and Eugene are surprised when you said you'll walk home. They don't argue with you, just remain confused. You meet up with Rain shortly after they leave you. The wait seemed to take forever, as more girls started gawking over you.
"Man... I never should have done Battle of the Bands..."
Rain finally comes out of the school and you begin walking together. While walking, you pass by the field you used to hang out in. You promise yourself to make some time and relax there. The two of you talk about all kinds of things. You try to keep off the topic of the past. It always seemed to make everything go silent.
You learn a little about what Rain has gone through over the years. As a child his "parents" never acknowledged him much. They knew about his powers and they hated him for it. They actually hated him for another reason as well, but he never elaborated on that. At school he had friends. He never told them about his powers but he told them about his parents.
He told you that, "They likely made me the way I am. Passive, I mean."
He learned to hate violence, so he never tried to hurt anyone with his powers. He actually creates beautiful shows with them. He always enjoyed the water, which caused you to chuckle.
His powers made him able to breathe in water. It was his place of freedom and peace.
He told you that he ran away from his parents at 15. He took to the streets of Corona and tried to find things to do. However his age made it hard for him to find a job. Thankfully for him, his powers kept him alive. He didn't need food – water could keep him alive no matter what. Since he could control the water, it was no trouble. He could purify any water source.
He kept himself alive through that. It's possible he would have died if not for that ability. You felt bad for him. It's almost how you felt when Elsa told you her story. However Rain's "parents" simply hated him for it. You also felt a connection to him. You suffered a similar fate when you left your home. You didn't have anything either. However, you had Oaken. Rain had nobody.
While you two were walking something hits you. Your arm. The pain is excruciating. You grab your left arm in pain then drop to one knee. You grunt in pain. Your face is a dead giveaway you are feeling something.
Rain rushes to your side, "(Y/N)! What's happening?"
"It's Carnage! He's—" You're cut off from another shot of pain.
You tighten your grip on your arm. Rain moves his hands to try to help you but he doesn't know what to do.
You can't do anything from where you are. You have a hunch. Maybe you can stop this in Limbo.
"Rain, listen. I'm..."
You feel as if you're drugged. You drop from your knee to your face. You're totally out.
"(Y/N)! Come on, wake up! (Y/N)!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
You're standing in the all too familiar Limbo. You begin looking around. It's still black and grey. "Still creeps me out a bit," you say.
You begin walking, hoping you'll find Shadow. You start to hear a small chuckle. You can only assume who that is.
It starts getting louder and louder. It becomes deafening. You put your hands over your ears. You try your best to block it out but it's like your hands are speakers for the laughing. It's still loud.
It suddenly stops. You release your ears, and then look forward. There you stand. However it doesn't seem to be Shadow nor Carnage. It's you. Exactly as you are now. But there is a slight difference. He is standing differently. He wears a cocky smile and his eyes are sharp.
"You aren't Shadow or Carnage."
He shrugs in a cocky manner. "No. That I'm not."
"So I have a forth?"
"No. Not at all. I'm more of a 2.5"
You give him an intrigued look. "What does that mean?"
"Oh come on. You feel it too, right? That feeling if you let loose a little."
"Sorry, I already have a little devil on my shoulder. Thanks for the offer, though."
"I'm not offering anything. I'm you. I'm what you want to be."
You laugh. "Oh really?"
You have a weird feeling while this guy is present. It's like part of you is gone. Like the ying and yang are staring at each other right now. But there is no way this guy can be you. It has to be Carnage. He's the only one who makes your arm feel the way it does. The only one who can give you a feeling. Yet you don't feel the bloodlust from this guy. You feel a calming. A sense of control, yet not. It's weird for you. You can't put your finger on it.
"What are you?" You ask.
He chuckles a little. "Nobody special. To be completely honest I'm surprised I am here."
His voice is still filled with superiority mixed with some humour.
"Then where's Carnage. Or did you make my arm like that?"
"Hm? Oh no, that was us."
"Us?"
He gives one more smirk then fades into darkness. You hear the terrifying roar.
"I swear, he could be mistaken for a dinosaur or something," you joke.
Carnage appears from the darkness and lands on one knee. He looks up at you, fire in his eyes.
He doesn't attack you though. You have no idea why.
"Carnage?"
He snarls.
"Well, you're friendly."
There is a silence. You have no idea why he doesn't attack. He has a perfect opportunity. Your legs are buckling. Your body is shaking with fear. You try to remain composed. You don't want to show an obvious fear. Though he seems like he can smell it. He's very relative to an animal. A wolf or something.
You decide to break the silence. This may be a chance to learn about him.
"Carnage?"
He grunts.
"Why are you in my mind? How do you control my emotions as you do?"
"It's... your... nature," He mutters.
His voiced is very broken and crackled.
"My nature? No. My nature is who I am."
"You... are... an illusion... Elsa... is an... illusion."
Your mind turns to the offensive. "What does Elsa have to do with this?"
"She... will bring... them... back. Then... I will... feast..."
Carnage fades back into the mist of Limbo.
"Carnage!" You rush to where he was standing but it was empty. "Damn it!"
You stare into Limbo, trying to figure out what Carnage's words meant.
"Who will Elsa bring? More elemental users?"
That's your only answer. Carnage must want to eliminate all the elemental users. But why? And if that was the case then why hasn't he killed Rain?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
You awaken to a somewhat familiar area. There is water floating above and around you. You lift yourself up to find Rain in the water. He appears to be meditating or something. You touch the water around you and he wakes up.
"Oh, thank the waters. I was worried you would never wake up,"
"Well, I'm quite awake. How long was I out for?"
Rain checks his watch. "An hour or so. Nothing too bad."
Rain waves his hands and you both sprout to the surface.
"Did the others see you?"
"No. I brought us here without their knowledge."
You accept that for a moment. You both sneak around to the front door.
"Wait, how did you get me here? No offense, but I am quite heavy and you're a lot smaller then I."
He gave a shy smile. "I used your blood."
"Wait what?"
"Well, I used the water in your body to somewhat lift you. It simply looked like I was carrying you."
"That's quite the ability. It also could have ended badly."
Rain's face glooms over. "I wouldn't have done anything to hurt you."
You put your hand on his shoulder. "Hey, don't worry about it."
He nods. "Thanks. Anyway, let's meet Elsa."
You open the door to see everyone in the living room. Elsa sees you first and runs up to hug you. You embrace her. She opens her eyes and sees Rain. She releases you from the hug.
"Who's this, (Y/N)?"
"Could you come outside for a second? I think he should be introduced to you."
She is a little skeptical but you seem calm about him. She accepts that and goes outside with you. Rain leads you around to the pond. You place yourself between the two of them, just in case.
"So who are you?"
Rain readies himself. "My name is Rain. I already know you, Elsa. I've been wanting to meet your for some time."
Elsa looks to you for comfort. You give her a soothing look. You trust Rain. Besides you doubt he could harm Elsa much. She could freeze all his water.
"I am like you; I have been given powers."
Rain lifts some water from the pond. It follows a path that makes its way around all three of you. Elsa is shocked, but remains calm under your influence.
"So what do you want from me?" Elsa asks.
"Well, this may seem a little forward but I want to help you with your powers."
Elsa is silent at the request. You decide to jump in.
"Elsa," you say putting your hand on her shoulder. "Rain knows how to use his powers extraordinarily well."
Neither you nor Elsa notice that Rain slightly blushes at this comment.
"It may be helpful for you. I know you can control your powers, but having the ability to manipulate them like him may be good for you."
Elsa stares at you. She is taking your words seriously.
"I'm not saying you have too. I'm just saying that it sounds like a good idea to me."
Elsa's eyes go to the ground. She is thinking hard on this. You continue to watch her until the decision is made. Rain goes back and forth between the two of you. He is anxious for her response.
She lets out a sigh.
"Okay. I'll learn from you. But on one condition."
"Anything," Rain accepts.
"I want to learn how to fight with my powers."
Both you and Rain are shocked at her request. You knew Elsa never wanted to hurt anyone with her powers, yet she wants to practice them now.
"I'm keeping my vow to you, (Y/N). I will be capable. I'll save you next time," Elsa thinks.
Rain nods. "Very well. I can teach you how to fight. But I request that (Y/N)," he looks over at you, "Joins us. He will no doubt be invaluable to training."
"Alright, but if you hit me in the butt again I'm done!" You joke.
"Oh, you asked me too. Besides," she walks up beside you and strokes your chest with her index finger. "I wouldn't want your butt to be injured. That would just be horrible."
You grin and pull her closer to you, wrapping your arm around her waist. "We wouldn't want that now, would we?"
Your eyes glimpse at Rain. You let go of Elsa and spin her to face Rain. She understands now.
"You guys can start tomorrow. I'll join in after I get back from school."
"But, Rapunzel is here," Elsa remembers.
"I promise I won't take all your time. We'll take breaks and such. Train at your leisure."
Elsa nods. She grabs you and pulls you inside. Rain jumps into the water. That seems to be his spot now.
You and Elsa enter the living room where everyone else is. They greet you and you all sit down for some conversation. You remain mostly silent, other than the few questions directed at you. You start thinking about your time in Limbo. You are still utterly confused by it.
You hate not knowing this. Normally it would bother you anyway, but the fact that Elsa was mentioned made it even more urgent. You have this feeling, this need to keep her safe. Of course you do. You love her.
"(Y/N). Yoo hoo," Anna says, waving her hand over your face.
You snap back to reality.
"Love her," you accidently say.
Your thoughts went out your mouth and it just made you a target.
Elsa blushed a bit and everyone laughed.
"Oh you do? Well that's always good to know," Anna laughed.
You smile. "Yeah, yeah. I was in thought, you know."
"You're always in thought," Elsa points out.
You give her a weak smile then a quick kiss. You get up and head to the kitchen. Gerda and Kai are making dinner as you walk in. They notice you then drop what they're doing.
"(Y/N), you are living here now, right?" Gerda asks.
You nod. "Yes. Well, as long as everyone is good with it."
"Of course. Everyone is. But I have something to offer you," Gerda says.
You grab a chair and sit down.
"Sure, what is it?"
"Well, to our knowledge you have no parents." They give a slight bow in sorrow of your loss. "But we could be your guardians. It is inevitable that you will need a guardian sometime soon, and we're happy to be them. You can continue to live here, of course. We spend most of our time here anyway."
You are surprised but happy. You get up and offer a handshake to Gerda. She gives you a hug instead.
"We're happy to have you in the family," Gerda states.
Kai is smiling. "We'll take you tomorrow to start the process. You'll get the day off school."
You shake your head in acknowledgement. Gerda releases you.
"Go back with your friends, they'll be happy to hear the news."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Everyone congratulated you when you tell them. There is a feeling of completion when you have a type of safety net to fall back on, and now you have it. Everyone continued to talk about silly things. Eugene has quite a number of tales about his time in Corona. You found some of the downright weird and others completely hilarious.
Everyone had a good sleep that night. Everyone but you. You couldn't stay asleep that night. You tossed and turned. You eventually got up for a drink. You grab a cold drink of water. You take a few sips then wait for a minute. You stare at the ground, giving the illusion that you are thinking.
You actually enjoy the water. It is just the perfect temperature to quench a thirst. You finish the drink, dry it then put it away. You are about to go back to bed but somebody stops you.
"What're you doing awake?"
"I could ask you the same thing, Elsa," you redirect.
She smiles and walks up to you. You let out a smile but she sees right through it. You looked tired.
"What's wrong?"
"Can't sleep."
"Why? Are you having nightmares?"
"No. I don't think my eyes have been closed long enough to have a dream."
Elsa snuggles under your arm.
"The couch isn't the comfiest, I know."
"It's not the couch. It's just me..."
"Uh huh," she smiles. "Mr. Tough guy right here won't be pushed around by a couch."
You shake your head then look at Elsa. She has such a beautiful smile. You feel the need to touch her face. You raise your hand to stroke her cheek. Elsa simply smiles.
"I'll only ever be pushed around by you. Probably Anna too."
Elsa laughs. "Yeah, we can be pretty scary."
"Why didn't you use that against Gaia and Pyro?" You bug.
"Because I keep that power for the strongest person I know."
She squeezes you.
"Oh... me?"
She nods.
"Well I wouldn't say that."
"My own superhero," she teases.
Elsa kisses you and you kiss back. It becomes more passionate as time goes on. You thank that nobody is disturbing. Especially Anna. She always seems to have a romance detector with her.
"She never found out Elsa and I slept together. So that's one secret I still have," you think.
Elsa breaks off from your lips, but you start kissing her neck. She can't hold in a moan of pleasure.
"How about you not sleep on the couch tonight?"
"What," you kiss her neck. "Did you," another kiss. "Have in," yet another. "Mind?"
She grabs your hands and led you to her room. You both proceed as softly as you can, but you can't stay away from each other. You get into her room with only one incident. She let out another moan at her door.
You picked her up and she wrapped her legs around your stomach. You continue to kiss her until you lay her on the bed. Elsa waves her hand and freezes the door, just in case. You chuckle a little bit but focus on what you're doing.
She removes you shirt to expose your body. She strokes your upper body, feeling your muscles but also your scars. She grabs your back and pulls you closer to her. There is no space between you two. You continue to embrace each other.
You slide her shirt right off and she giggles.
"I love you, (Y/N)."
"I love you too, Elsa."
"Elsa?"
"Yes?"
"Can you do that thing you did with the ice last time."
"Maybe. Will you be better than last time?"
"Wait, what?"
"There is always room for improvement," she giggles.
"How you tease me so."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
You slept quite well after that. Elsa woke you up when she did. You both got clothes on than kissed each other.
"You did that thing with the ice," you smile.
"You did better than last time."
"Always with the teasing."
You hop out her window and onto the grass. The impact of the two story fall doesn't bother you all that much. You don't argue it. You open the door to see Kristoff standing there with his arms crossed and a grin on his face.
"You totally just got caught."
"Caught doing what? I was just walking around."
Kristoff's face shows he doesn't buy it. You shrug then lay on the couch.
"Hey (Y/N), I need to talk to you about something."
"Shoot."
"Bang," he responds, firing a finger gun.
"Clever," you snicker.
"Listen, we've been friends for quite some time."
"A couple weeks, but I get your point."
"You trust me right?"
This conversation reminds you of one you had not too long ago, but you can't remember it.
"Yes," you stretch the word as you sit up.
"(Y/N), I saw something while you fought the three people with powers."
You gut tightens, you know what he's getting at.
"(Y/N), what happened to you? For the little I saw... The way you killed that guy..."
Anna begins coming down the stairs and hears what the two of you are talking about.
"Kristoff, what are you doing?" She frantically asks herself.
"Kristoff... There are things best left alone."
"This isn't one of them man. I get that it may be uncomfortable, and I know I didn't see the entire thing, but still. (Y/N), I'm your best friend. I'm not forcing you to tell me, but please know that I'm just concerned."
"Kristoff..." Anna whispers, "That's the way to do it."
You sigh.
"I get the concern and I know that you deserve an answer but... I'm just not ready. I'm sorry."
Kristoff lets out his own sigh, then smiles. "What kind of friend would I be if I was cruel?"
"But Kristoff, you are cruel," you joke.
Anna walks down the stairs. "That he is. My cruel teddy bear."
You both turn your attention towards Anna. She is glowing today. It's odd. Anna gives Kristoff a kiss on the cheek then turns to you.
"So what were you two talking about?"
"Well, our good friend (Y/N) just came in through the door and I was questioning him. He's a tough nut to crack."
Anna's face lights up and a large grin is smeared across her face. She remembers the last time you came in through the front door in the morning. It's the same thing you did when she caught you and Elsa together. However you still don't know that.
You see the grin but have no idea why it's there.
"I was just walking. Man, I for what I do I should get a break."
"But how would you keep your skills sharp?" Kristoff smiled.
Your face droops and you look at Kristoff in a type of "really?" look.
Both he and Anna smile. You both hear the shower start running. You assume it's Elsa.
"Wait, Kristoff what're you even doing here? Didn't you go home?"
Kristoff and Anna start to blush. You pick up on this.
"Guuuuys?"
They look at each other then at you.
You are about to press on but Gerda interrupts you.
"(Y/N), are you going to shower before we go?"
"Oh yes, I'll go do that right now."
You rush upstairs and into the bathroom. You completely forget Elsa is in the shower. Somehow you block out the noise of the water. You strip down then go to open the shower curtain. You notice that the shower is already on.
"Oh yeah, Elsa is in the shower. Well, I'm sure she wouldn't mind if I joined," you think.
You open the shower curtain.
It wasn't Elsa.
Rapunzel looks at you for a moment. You look at her. You both are in total shock at what is happening.
You quickly close the shower curtain.
"Oh my god, Rapunzel I am so sorry! I thought you were Elsa. I swear I didn't mean to," you spew.
"Oh... um... It's okay. I didn't even hear you enter. Let's just..."
"Not talk about it?"
"Yes," she agrees.
You put your clothes back on and leave the bathroom. Elsa comes out of her room at the same time.
"Elsa, is there another shower?"
"Yes, of course. I was about to take one."
"Oh, alright. I'll wait."
She chuckles. "So cute."
She drags you towards the other bathroom.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Elsa and Rain begin their training as you leave. He starts out with basic control. Elsa has to keep ice flowing around her for as long as she could until it felt natural. While doing that he asked her to simply create some. Hit a few targets. Simple stuff.
You, on the other hand, are stuck in this horrible place. It smells horrible. Not horrible as in a dump. But it smells so proper. So fake. It makes you cringe. Everyone is walking around in suits and such. They look proper. They feel important. You were forced into a suit as well. They didn't have time to buy a new suit for you, so you are in one of Kai's old ones. It doesn't fit all that perfectly.
However there is a sort of happiness to this situation. You'll technically have a family again. Even though that never really mattered, it was a mental thing. Something to fall back on. You would find a sort of peace and happiness.
They call you, Gerda and Kai into the room. You all take a seat and the women starts typing on her computer. Gerda had already called so they know what they are doing. This was a simple formality.
"Excuse me, (Y/N)?"
"Yes?"
"I'll need your last name. We need to have full records on you. Also we need your parents' signature, if possible."
Your stomach fills with butterflies.
"My last name?" You ask. "Is that necessary?"
"Yes, it is."
You sigh. "(Y/N) (L/N)"
The women types the name into the computer. The results send a quick shock to her face, but she regains control.
"Could I speak to the two of you? Alone."
You sigh then leave the room. You know exactly what she's talking about. You leave the room and sit outside for a few minutes. You are called back in.
"As a result of your parents not being able to sign, I need your signature. After that it will take some time, but Gerda and Kai will be your legal guardians."
You nod in understanding.
You look at Gerda and Kai. They have an uneasy look on their face.
"Great... They know."
"Of course they know, simply searching up your name brings up the articles," Shadow remarked.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
3 days later.
Gerda and Kai had a talk with you about what they had heard. You explained to the best of your ability, and they had to accept that. You haven't told the full story in a long time, but you told them.
You also told them the truth behind what happened during the fight. They were quite understanding. They understood why you kept it a secret from everyone and asked if anyone else knew. You told them Kristoff had a slight hint of it.
The week went smoothly afterwards. Gerda and Kai allowed you to stay home as well, but you refused. You kept Kristoff company at school. Eugene came with you every day. You were asked to play some songs at a school assembly. Eugene helped you guys by playing the triangle. It added depth to the performance.
You brought home notes and homework for Anna and Elsa every day, but they were busy most of the time. Anna and Rapunzel spent almost every minute of the day together. They kept getting chocolate all the time. You made a slight remark that they may gain a few pounds by it and they both smacked you. Kristoff called it a "rookie mistake".
Elsa took the training with Rain quite seriously. She learned concepts pretty quickly and was able to conjure massive amounts of ice for battle or beauty. You were stunned at her progress. But today was a final training exercise.
"Alright you two, this is going to be a friendly sparring match," Rain commentates. "Elsa, you have to hit (Y/N) with everything you got. (Y/N), you have to land three taps on Elsa."
You both nod. You smile competitively at each other.
"Try not to hurt each other too much," Rain slightly whines.
"Well, that depends on him now, doesn't it?"
"Oh me, huh? Well you have a prettier face than I do. So I'll leave it that way."
"You both have pretty faces, now let's get this going," Rain begins.
"Three. Two," you tighten your muscles, readying yourself to sprint. "One. Go!"
Rain splashes water into the air to signal the start.
Kristoff, Anna, Eugene and Rapunzel watch this fight. You told Eugene everything about Elsa and your fight, which he congratulated you on. They stand there, anxious. They know you won't hurt each other, but they are worried.
Elsa – without even moving her hands – summons an ice spike right beneath you. You jump backwards to dodge it. She spins around and causes the whole backyard to be covered in snow and ice.
"Clever girl. She's made the playing field her own," you think.
Thankfully you are still able to sprint through the snow effectively but now you can't see the ice spikes forming in the ground.
She gives you some chance by lifting the spikes slightly above the snow so you have some warning. You rush at her as the spikes continue to raises. Once you get to her you try and tap her, but it is just a wall.
You look around to see Elsa in a completely different spot.
"A mirror?"
She shrugs with a smile. "Something like that."
She summons dozens of ice spikes in the air then rains them down upon you. You try to run out of the target zone but she covered a huge area. Spikes start raining down around you. You barely make it out. Your clothes are somewhat ripped now from the occasional spike almost getting you.
Elsa smiles with pride. You are happy to see her so in control of her powers. She is using them better than most of the other elemental users. As powerful as they all are, you thought Tempest had the best control over his powers. Gaia may have been the leader, but the way Tempest used his powers was phenomenal. Elsa is catching up to him.
You gain your bearings after escaping that death trap. Elsa gives no quarry however and shoots and ice blast at you. You cross your arms In front of you. Before it hits you it forms a wall and begins to push you. She summons a wall behind you as well.
"She's going to squish me!" You concur.
You push off the wall and try to bounce back and forth but the ice is too slippery.
She's blocked off all other exits. She may have you.
You smile then enter a ready stance. You ready your dominant hand for a haymaker. You feel it's ready and punch one of the walls, effectively shattering it. You jump out of that death trap. Elsa didn't notice this. You used the distraction to rush her and get one tap.
You tap her back and she turns around.
She smiles. "Round one complete. You still have two more."
"I know," you say.
You take a position away from her and ready up. She melts the snow around her for the new round. You begin to sprint right at her. She erects a wall directly beneath you. You preform 3 handspring backflips to avoid it. You land on your feet only to see an ice spike barely pass your face.
Elsa looks worried but you smile.
"You almost had me there."
She puts her hand on her chest in a relieved way. She gets back into the fight.
You sprint at her once more, dodging everything she throws at you. You are about to get a second tap but she summons a small blizzard that launches you away. You land flat on your stomach, the wind knocked out of you.
You cough a few times but recover quickly. You stand to see Elsa condensing an ice blast in her hands. She absorbs the blizzard around her to add to it. You sprint at her once more but she doesn't see you. You attempt to jump over her but she notices. She panics and hits you point blank in the chest with the full force of her ice beam.
For the first time you feel the pain Elsa's ice can do. You feel your whole body go cold. It goes through all of you but focuses on one point of your body. The blast continues to hit until it forces you away from Elsa.
You are sent spiraling through the air and into the pond.
"(Y/N)!" Everyone yells.
Rain uses his powers to lift you out of the water.
He puts you on your feet but you fall to your knees. There is an ongoing pain in your chest. You look but nothing is there. No puncture wounds or anything. You cough. Your breath is misty and cold. Everyone sees your hair start to turn white.
Anna looks at her own white streak of hair, which she hasn't died brown since being told the reason for it. Elsa immediately knows what that means. She begins crying and running towards you.
You clench the area over your heart. It's where all the pain is coming from.
