27 The Unveiling
POV Jack
The pain had strike on me again. This time it was worse than before. She doesn’t need to know, to worry because there is nothing to be done. My life on this planet will end soon as the doctors said me. My only choice was to take my medicine that would help to slow down the process. However my medicine hasn’t been with me for a long, long time.
I sat on my bed and watch outside. It is Christmas day and the winter’s night is cold. Moon is shining bright as well as the stars. My cheeks blush as I turn my head towards her bed, she is sleeping. Finally, she had been turning around on her bed for many times already. I tried to get to stand as quietly as possible. She didn’t wake up for the sounds that the springs of my bed made when I rose up.
She had hair already getting messy because of her sleep. I chuckle to the sight of hair sticking on every direction. Why do I have to love someone if it is not going to work out? When she will be left behind when I cross the line and probably move on, to other life or something crazy like that.
My throat feels dry and I feel tears on my cheeks. “Why can’t we be?” I whisper and she moves restlessly. Her chest rises now fast, she is panting and whimpers in her sleep. “No.. No..” she whispers and turns to her other side and back quickly. “JACK!” Her scream startled me, “Don’t go,” she cries in her sleep.
With my hand I pet her forehead, “I am here. Wake up!” Her eyes are slowly opening and she looks at me. I smile to her but she looks away from me. “I..I was having a nightmare,” she gasps simultaneously when I gently turn her head to look at me. “I know,” I told her while she is wrapping her arms around my waist when she hugs me.
“I think that you should get your Christmas present,” she whispered to me with her words cracking. She was breathing against my chest for a moment. Her body shivered before backing up when I touched her back.
POV Elsa
Jack feels so warm, a smile sneaks to his face and his eyes narrow happily. Our foreheads touch when his hand goes behind of my head. “You don’t need to give me anything,” he whispers and looks me into my eyes, his gaze is making me feel the butterflies.
He kisses me, his breathing is shallow as our lips brush against each other. It feels like he is teasing me now, he barely let our lips touch and it is like he would like me to want more. He makes a muffled sound when I cup his head between my hands and hold him close. Kissing him is all I want now, him being close and loving me. The pressure against my back grows when he is pressing me against him.
Without thinking further my teeth bit his lower lip gently, he chuckled and I felt how his lips formed a smile. “I love you,” he said while our lips were still touching each other. He gave me small and quick kisses to my cheeks. My cheeks were burning up as well as my whole body.
“Come here Frosty,” I smiled to him when I pulled him close from his hoodie’s collar. He lost his balance and we were now laying on bed, he fell over me. He chuckled as he watched me, this is feeling now a bit embarrassing. “I am here,” he winked his eye and gave me a long passionate kiss.
The door squeaked. “Elsa! I came as fast as I could when a maid had heard your scream!” It was Anna who was standing in the doorway in her nightgown. She was now just standing there, watching me and Jack. It seemed like she was trying to figure out what was going on. Her eyes wandered from me to Jack and to me again. Her first reaction was shock, like I would be in trouble. My cheeks were getting redder, “This is not how it seems Anna!”
Then Anna’s expression was like she was having some sort of creepy satisfaction. “Oh!” She exhaled and a mischievous smirk slowly showed on her face. “This is perfect Elsa!” She chirped happily and made glances towards Jack who was getting further away from me. His hand went through his hair, he is feeling nervous.
Before I could say anything Anna walked towards Jack. Her heels made clapping sound on the hard floor as she walked fast. On her way she held her hand ready for a handshake. “My name is Anna,” she offered her hand to Jack. He took a hold of her hand, “Name is Jack.”
When Anna heard his name her eyes widened and she glanced at me with the look of ‘I knew it’. “So, Jack-,” Anna was grinning deviously, “-how long have you known Elsa?” She was still holding his hand and not letting go anytime soon. “Sometime, I guess,” Jack shrug his shoulders with his face getting red.
“Good!” Anna said in high voice. She didn’t remember him from our childhood which really felt like a relief. I didn’t want him to know about his past from someone else. Her memories of that time got wiped out by trolls because I used my powers at the pond back then.
Anna chuckled, “I will be going then. Let’s discuss tomorrow Elsa!” She waved her hand and left me and Jack stare after her. “I thought that the door is locked,” Jack broke the silence and stared at the closed door. He was right, normally it has been locked. “I must have forgot,” I whisper and feel how his hand takes a hold of mine, our fingers clasp together. “Or you trust me now?” He sounded somehow uncertain.
”I have always trusted in you Jack deep down in my soul,” the words escaped from my lips. I look at him, trying to read his mind by his face. “What do you mean always? Sounds like you’ve known me for longer time?” He stares at me and he let’s go of my hand.
I sigh, “Time for your present. Sit.” I sat on my bed and pat on it’s surface. He sits next to me. “My gift for you is the truth, information about yourself. Please don’t be scared or sad,” I look at him and he seems puzzled but nods to me anyway.
My heart beats fast as I collect some air into my lungs. “I am Elsa,” I start and he chuckles. “I knew that!” He laughs to me and I press my finger to his lips. “Hush,” I tell him, “The girl you saved was Elsa. Right?” He nodded to me and was glancing at me, trying to figure out where this is going.
“Listen to me Jack Overland, open your heart and believe in next things that I will tell to you,” the nervous feeling I have now is almost killing me. His full attention was on me. “The little girl, Elsa, is me.” I said to him and his mouth dropped. ”Impossible,” he exhaled.
“You lost your memory. Things have happened from back then. I can tell you everything. Everything!” I cried to him and saw how he was squeezing his knee with his right hand when he nodded. “Jack.. when you saved me you became Jack Frost, the Spirit of Winter. The Guardian of Fun. You lost your memory when the Spirit of Winter entered in you,” my heart was almost popping out from my chest.
He laughed, “He isn’t real. Jack Frost. Not like Santa Claus and Easter Bunny are!” It was like falling 10 feet down from a cliff when he said that. “DON’T say that! You’re real!” I gasped and he startled, ”You’re Jack Frost, my Frosty.” My hand went to his cheek. “You seem really passionate about this guy,” his fingers wrapped around my fingers and then he lifted my hand off from his cheek.
“I fell in love with you, with him,” tears are falling on my cheeks. They turn to icy teardrops when they’re falling to ground. Jack looks at me, “S-sorry to make you cry.” Then he sighs, “Why would I be someone called Jack Frost and you seem older than back then.”
“You died, died while saving me,” I tried to swallow the lump from my throat. He was panting, “W-what happened?” I hug him, he seems so afraid now. ”You fell through the ice, no one found you. You were Jack Frost for over 15 years, I grew up,” He is still breathing heavily and his eyes are moving rapidly, looking at me and then to every other direction. He can’t panic, he can’t.
Suddenly I saw how his gaze went blurry and he was holding his head. He lost his balance and I had to give him support. “What did I say to you back then?” He sounded heartbroken when his head rested against my shoulder. “You said that we would have some fun, play hopscotch. ‘Just trust me’,” I smiled to him as the memory of him filled my mind.
“Are you alright Jack?” I lift his face so I can see his eyes. ”I don’t know,” he whimpered. “S-so, my family doesn’t know about me?” He sighed and I nodded. ”I am a huge secret, right?” He looked to my eyes which made me feel the chills. “Yes. Some people might freak out from seeing you here. Since you’re believed to be dead and you’ve not aged a bit,” I told him.
He stood up and paced around the room nervously, “Secrets! Lies!” He yelled which startled me. ”Calm down,” I begged from him but he continued his pacing while seeming angry and sad at the same time. “How old are you?” He looked at me which made me feel nervous, “O-over 21.”
Then his expression softened, “You’re same age as Emma?” I nodded to him and then he came back to bed and he fell to sitting position next to me. “So, you’re adult, Emma is adult. How about my parents? Still alive?” I look at him and see the pain in him. ”They are, Matthew and Holly are doing ok,” I whispered and he smiled.
His fingers touch my knee, “A-and.. My relationship with you? I have been wondering it for ages now. Now I realize that your odd behavior was to protect me in your ‘special’ way.. But.” I see how he blushes. ”You seem really passionate about that Jack Frost guy,” he glared at me and in an instant my body felt like fire is licking it, redness must have been really bad this time on my cheeks.
“See!” He exhaled, ”Even when I mention him you’re behaving like that!” He watched me keenly and seemed desperate to know. ”Jack. You’re him and he is you. Just now I have realized that the loving, caring and funny part of Jack Frost is the real human you,” I am twitching my dresses fabric while speaking.
I close my eyes, I can’t take this anymore. He hates me. Something warm presses against my lips, it feels soft and now I realize that it is him and he kisses me. After he let go I look at him, “I am so sorry that I couldn’t tell you sooner.” He smiles faintly, “I am sorry that I forgot you.”
We were sitting in the silence. Only sound came from a wall clock that was ticking. It was 4am already. “Uh,” he broke the silence down. “C-can you tell me about myself as Jack Frost? You said some interesting stuff about him.. I mean about me!” He smirked to me and touched my hair.
POV Jack
Jack Frost. Jack Overland. Frosty. Jack Overland Frost. I feel still a bit confused. She told me about my identity and I really can’t figure out how everything could be true. My daze breaks down when a hand waves in front of me, “Are you alright?” It was Elsa.
“Y-yeah, go on,” I tell her. ”Somehow you lost your memories of the time when you were human. You searched me and then we together found your family. T-then w-we.. f-fell in.. in.. ” She was blushing hard and struggling with her words, it made me chuckle. “Fell in love?”
Her eyes watch the floor, “Yes. It is what happened.” I look at her, her soft features and her strict appearance. “So. Why am I a human now? What happened?” I ask from her and suddenly she hugs me tight. “It was the curse!” She exhales and sounds heartbroken.
“What curse?” I wipe tears from her cheeks. “I-it was meant to take away the thing I love,” she cries. My heart aches, she will lose me again. How will I tell her that my existence won’t be for long? “Jack, tell me. Why are you looking like you’re sad now?” Her blue eyes watched to me.
I try to hold my tears but I fail miserably. I take her hand and place it onto my chest, “If you know me well enough you would know that my human self was not alright back then.” I see how her eyes look at me and I can see her pain reflecting from them. She shakes her head in misbelieve, “N-no .. This can’t be happening.”
“My heart. It is the reason I need the doctor, to give me some more time. I haven’t even finished your pillar bed,” I nod towards the unfinished bed. I try to smile, I try to laugh but I believe that she can see the misery I am trying to hide. Her head rests on my chest, “I don’t want to lose you again.” Her delicate hands squeeze my hoodie’s fabric and she cries.
My arms go around her and I lift her to my lap. Slowly I sway her while my cheek touches the top of her head. She is still crying, her body is flinching in my arms. I remove her hair covering her face, “Hush. Don’t cry.” I tried to whisper sweet things to her but she was feeling so bad that my words didn’t reach her.
Seeing her like this, hurt and heartbroken was crushing me. “Hey,” I whispered, “You should rest.” She hasn’t been sleeping that much tonight. She is still sobbing and I decided to sing to her, help her to sleep. My parents sing to me when I was little and I sang to my little sister every night before I left Burgess. Normal lullaby won’t be good since, since.. well.. I love her and she needs something better.
The perfect song for this moment would be a song called ‘I don’t want to miss a thing by Aerosmith’. I clear my throat and with my voice breaking at the first words I start singing.
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing (A/N: listen the song attached to hear rest)
She lifted her head up and watched me, her lower lip was quivering while I sang. However her crying ended and I smiled to her, I will love her as long as I can. I tucked her in and when I was about to stood up and go to my bed her hands go over my shoulders and rest on my neck. “No! Sleep with me, please,” she begged from me with her sad eyes.
“S-sure,” I blushed and I tried to be as sincere as possible when I layed next to her, over the blanket and as far away from her as possible. “You know, Frosty, we have been through this before, “ she said in a playful way. “W-what are you meaning by that?” My words almost stuck to my throat.
She chuckled as she pulled the blanket from under me and covered me with it. “You slept in the same bed with me as Jack Frost. You did just the same as back then,” she kissed my forehead and I tried to look at the wall. “I won’t bite,” she chuckled and turned her back to me. Slowly I made my way to bed’s edge and tried not to fall.
My eyes flash open when I felt a pinch on my back. “Ouch!” I exclaim when I turn around, it was her. ”Why?” I whined and she placed my right arm under her head as a pillow. “Stay with me Jack, forever,” she whispered and I would have wanted to promise that to her. With all of my heart I wished.
Her eyes filled with tears, “I know you can’t but please, just lie to me this one time.” She was staring at me and her hand rested now on my cheek. “Please, lie to me,” she whispered once again and I couldn’t do it. “No, I can’t lie to you. One thing I can promise, my love for you is eternal,” she closed her eyes before she buried her face to my arm.
Suddenly her sobbing stopped. “Jack, I know now,” she said with a slight sign of hope in her voice. “What you know?” My fingers were playing with her hair. ”Your sister, I’ve heard that she is going to be a heart surgeon.. And..and.. The medical treatment has gone forward since.. After.. since you died.” I watch her after those words. She chuckles, ”I really want to try if she can help.”
I could see Emma again. Maybe she won’t remember me or what if she does. “Wouldn’t she freak out after seeing me?” I smirk to Elsa. ”She might but after we tell her about the Guardians and show them to her and-,” I cut Elsa off. “Show her guardians? They really exist? You gotta be kidding me!” I jump up on the bed and she laughs. ”Yes they are Frosty,” there it is again. She called me Frosty.
“So.. What was I like as a Jack Frost?” I cocked my eyebrow at her. “A dream,” she whispered. “A what?” I laugh to her and she blushes. ”I mean. Nice, warm, kind and deeply in love with me,” she giggled. ”And?” I smirk to her mischievously.
“Y-you controlled wind, ice and snow. Basically like I do but your power with wind is your thing, you can fly with it,” she smiled to me and my jaw drop. “I was able to fly?” I exhaled and she walked to a closet. She took out the staff that she made me take with me from the maple tree. She threw it to me, “That was the source of your power. You pulled me from the ice with that,” she smirked and cocked her eyebrow when I examined the staff. “Whoa, I sound like a cool person,” I laughed.
“Actually you were a cool person, your skin was cooler than anyone else’s,” she touched my cheek. “Pale skin, amazingly blue eyes and white hair,” she kissed my lips. “Whoa! Whoa! Wait? Blue eyes? White hair?” I went to mirror and check my reflection. It was hard to imagine myself with white hair and blue eyes. Then a thought ran into my mind.
Quickly I turned around and stared her directly at her eyes. “Which look you prefer the most? White hair and blue eyes or the human me?” I smirked to her, now she is in trouble. “Uh, I like you both ways. Basically the overgrown and messy hair is the same style and your eyes expression your deepest thoughts in the same ways. No matter what the color is,” she walked to window and my eyes watched her sassy movement for a bit, seeing her hips moving in rhythm of her steps.
When I realized that I stared her for far too long I cleared my throat. “Oh, really? Personally my favorite color is blue-,” I look at her directly to her eyes, “- and your eyes are beautiful.” She turned around smiling, “I am happy that you didn’t hate me because of keeping these things as a secret from you for few months. I just was afraid to tell you.”
I chuckled to her honest words. “Well, I was a bit shocked at first but I understand your point. And better late than nev-,” I gasped in the end of my sentence when I fell to ground on my knees. My heart felt like someone was squeezing it from the inside while stabbing it at the same time. I felt cold and powerless when I fell to lay on my side.
“Jack!” Elsa screamed and run to me, she kneeled next to me and lifted my head on her lap. “Please, stay with me!” She cried and I felt how her tears hit on my face. I tried to withstand the pain, I couldn’t respond to her. I just watched her into her eyes, trying to get my thoughts on her instead of this growing feeling of torment. When the agony finally ended, I was laying on the floor panting and catching my breath. Her fingers were gently touching my face.
She kissed my cold forehead and didn’t let me to get up for a while. “Your heart?” She finally whispered and I really had to struggle to speak since even my throat felt sore. “Y-yes,” I managed to exclaim and she bit her lip, trying to keep her from crying.
Suddenly she stood up and walked to her closet. “W-what are you doing?” I looked after her direction. “Getting you to Emma, now,” she said with determination as she changed to her ice dress. “She is in America, the travel is long,” I tried to speak sense to her. “Not with these!” She showed me a snow globe as she pulled me standing. I had to take support from her by placing my right arm over her shoulder. “What do you need a snow globe for?” I tried to hold my amusement in minimum.
She threw the snow globe on the floor while whispering something and the snow globe broke. Something appeared from it, it was a whirling gap between spaces. “Now we go!” She was walking towards the thing that freaked me out a little bit. “Whoa! Slow down! Is that even safe?” I gasped and she nodded. We entered through that thing, I almost felt sick when the world was spinning around us.
Then I felt the wave of fresh air. We were outside from the castle. I look around and see familiar sight. It was my old home street. We are in Burgess, but how?
A/N:
So now Jack knows at least something. What he doesn't know about is Elsa's status as the Queen of Arendelle.
They went for Emma. Will they meet her? Will she be able to help? How? Will she regognize her brother if they meet and how will she react?
Thoughts on that My Snow Storm!
