20 Stop the Cold

POV Emma

Jonathan is still sleeping, he keeps on complaining about how cold my room is in the ice castle. He is telling me that our baby would catch a cold if she or he would live in here. I chuckle when I see Jonathan burying himself under the four blankets. Cold has never bothered me even though I love warmth more.

I kiss Jonathan’s cheek just before when I go to dress myself. I sigh when I look at my clothes pile, there isn’t much that would fit me now, my belly is already gotten rounder. I touch my stomach, there is just 6 months left for our son to be born. I knew him from early on the pregnancy, it is part of my gift. I am the guardian of life so the beginning of new life never gets unnoticed by me.

My mother is lucky since she could do dresses from ice that would fit perfectly. Once I tried to create a dress using vines and leaves that I made grew over me. It looked so bad so I have never done it again. “Morning,” I hear Jonathan yawning on the bed. “For being the Father Time you sure slept late today,” I laugh and tease him. He is staring at me with sleepy eyes, “Yeah. Maybe my uncle is Sandy?” We look at each other for a while, being serious. Then we lost it and both of us started laughing at the same time.

Jonathan was the person who I met when darkness almost got me. Our friendship turned into love eventually and it is a miracle that I am expecting a child, normally Guardians won’t be parents. Well, in fact he isn’t a guardian but I have been for quite some time already. He comes to embrace me and I hug him back, “I hope that my two most precious people in the world are doing perfectly?” He whispers to my ear and causes me to laugh. “We are.. Hey, I will visit Jackie today. Mother has been worried about him,” I say and kiss his cheek. “Sure,” he kisses my cheek in return.

After making vegetarian breakfast for us both I left to Arendelle with a help of a snow globe. I walked on the corridors that I remember from my childhood. The castle of Arendelle hasn’t changed a bit. Now I turned to the wing where Jackie’s room is and I heard someone banging a door. “Open up!” I see uncle Kristoff banging Jackie’s door. “Uncle! What is going on?” I walk fast to him.

Kristoff seems worried, “For few days he has acted weird. Like there wasn’t any sign of happiness in him.” Kristoff sighed and looked at me, “Maybe you can speak with him? This morning he didn’t come to breakfast.” I touch the door quickly, it feels freezing cold. I try to smile my most calming smile to Kristoff, “Let me handle it but just in case you could go and get Belle,” I hand Kristoff a snow globe. “Break it and tell that it would take you to her and here is a spare one for your return,” I hand him the snow globes and he breaks one. He nods me and steps to portal. Kristoff might be old but he would do everything for the ones close to him.

I knock the door, “Open up Jackie. I know that you’re in there..” My voice is getting higher when I see that smoke is coming under the door. It is the reaction when cold air meets warmer air and makes fog. “Jackie, calm down,” I said tightly and I see frost covering the door fast. He is losing it, this emotion of his must be strong one this time. He had seizures like this when he was a child, when he experienced something highly emotional and new to him. However the scale of this one is something new.

“JACKIE,” I yell but no one responses. I try to open the door, push it in. No use. I throw some seeds to ground and I make them grow, they go under the door but can’t get through. It seems that the door is covered in thick layer of ice on the other side.

“Emma?” Belle says as she steps through the portal. Kristoff follows right after her, “He didn’t listen to you either?” Kristoff is now even more concerned. “Uncle, we will handle it,” I say to Kristoff who seems reluctant to leave. Belle pulls him away, “It is sibling thing. We will take care of it.” Belle giggles and Kristoff finally left.

“So.. how are we handling it exactly?” Belle crosses her arms. “Well.. he has frozen the door.. so..burn it to ashes?” I smile to Belle who gives me a mischievous smirk. “I can?” She rubs her hands and I nod. She snaps her fingers and a golden red flame appears. Slowly it grows in size and starts to glow in shade of blue.

Belle is molding the blue flame in her hands, it kind of reminds me of dad – how he does snowballs. Well, the flame was now looking like a ball and Belle threw it like a baseball at the door. It exploded on the doors surface and the door burnt badly. Oh, let me correct. In few seconds there was no door left.

“H-how did you do that?” I gasped and Belle giggled happily. “I just made the flame hot and concentrated it in the small ball. The power of the flames exploded on the door and tada.. No door left!” She smiled with self confidence and I rolled my eyes while stepping inside. She is a show off like dad is.

Jackie was sitting on the floor, embracing himself. The floor which had melted from Belle’s inferno powers was already freezing again. I kneeled next to him, “Jackie?” I whispered and touched his shoulder. I had to take my hand away since he felt cold. “What is wrong?” I pleaded from him, he is just in a state that I cannot break and reach to him. “Belle? What should we do?” I exhaled and Belle stared at me and Jackie.

“I know someone,” Belle smiled warmly and run out from the room. “BELLE!” I tried to yell after her but she was already gone. I stayed behind and tried to calm down Jackie. His head was down and he had pulled his knees against his chest. He isn’t responding to my tries to bring him back to this world. This is bad this time, I knew that he had struggled all these years. However I hoped that reaching the decision and becoming mortal would have been the solution to his misery. Oh, I was terribly wrong.

POV Fern

I am reading on my bed this morning when I heard mom yelling me from downstairs. “Fern! There is someone to see you!” I place my book down and I get my morning rope on me. I tip toed the stairs down and went to door. There is a familiar girl at the door, “Belle?” I whispered as I was looking at her, the girl who guided me to Jackson’s bedroom when I was looking for him before.

Mom leaves me with Belle who smirks nervously, “Could we chat?” Belle has worry in her eyes and I agreed. She followed me to my bedroom. “So, what is your business?” I smiled.

“You know the King of Arendelle, Jackson?” Belle smiles and jumps to sit on my bed. I sit next to her, “Yeah.. I know that liar.” I sighed and Belle cocked her eyebrow. “Liar?” She sounded surprised.

I nodded, “Yeah.. He kept telling me childish stories about guardians and the latest lie was too much. He said that he is related to them and that he is 58 years old.” Belle started to grin, “He isn’t lying. You’re looking at one guardian!”

I glare at her. “No, you’re tricking me,” I sighed. She shook her head, “Nope. Watch.” I see how she snaps her fingers and flame appears. “Guardian of Courage at your service,” she curtsied me and smirked deviously. I gulped, she just made flames appear from nowhere.

Belle waved her hand and the flame disappeared. I stare at her in misbelieve. “Nothing to be afraid of,” she smiled and took my hands in hers. “H-how?” I whispered and looked at her hands. “My powers are with fire and I help people find their courage and bravery. My sister Emma is the Guardian of Life, the nature listens to her,” Belle chuckles. “Who are you exactly?” I ask from her.

Belle smirks, “I am the youngest child of Jack and Elsa Frost. Jack Frost is the Guardian of Fun who controls winter powers. My mother Elsa is the former Queen of Arendelle who controls winter powers also and is now known as Guardian of Caring.” I inhaled deeply, everything sounds so hard to believe.

“And then there is Jackson,” Belle winked her eye. My lips became narrow and I frowned, “What about him?” Belle sighed, “He is my big brother, oldest in the family of Frost. He controls winter powers like mum and dad.. oh..and he is the latest Guardian, the Guardian of Believe.” I stare at her, “Wake up from your sleep?” Belle pushes me from my shoulder and laughs slightly.

“Everything that he said was true?” I whispered. “Yes, Jackson might be a bit overreacting and feeling like who won’t belong to world but he doesn’t lie,” Belle touched my shoulder.

I had been pushing Jackson out from my mind for couple of days. Mostly because of the awful things that I said to him, now I am regretting them. “I know what you’re thinking,” Belle said quickly. “He is in his room if you want to meet him,” Belle layed on my bed and was leaning her head on her hands.

“Thank you,” I said to Belle and I run outside. I didn’t care that I only had my night gown on and only morning rope covering it. I run the whole way to castle and inside from the gates. This time the guards saw me but they didn’t come after me. My heart was speeding like a rocket when I run upstairs and to the corridor that leaded to Jackson’s room.

“I AM SO SORRY!” I run inside to Jackson’s room. I saw a brown haired and blue eyed girl staring at me. She was kneeling next to Jackson who was sitting on the floor. Slowly I walk to them, “W-what is wrong with him?” I whisper to that girl. She stands up and I notice that she is pregnant, her orange dress shows her pregnancy well since it is quite tight.

“My brother is losing control over his powers, his emotions are causing it,” the girl whispers. “Did Belle send you?” She smiles faintly and I nodded. “Good, you also see me which is great. My name is Emma, and yours is?” I inhaled deeply, “Belle told me about you, the Guardians. Now I guess that I sort of believe in it.. “ I glance at Jackson. “I told him that he is a liar since he told me about the Guardians,” I swallowed the lumpy feeling from my throat. “Maybe that is why.. why he is like that?” I say while I kneel next to him.

“My name is Fern,” I whisper when I look at Emma. Suddenly I feel a hand wrapping around my wrist. “Be careful!” Emma gasps and I see that the person who’s hand is holding mine is Jackson. The hand feels awfully cold and I gulped when I saw frost covering my morning rope. Jackson’s eyes look blank and sad.

WHOOM.

A cold burst of air exploded from Jackson. My hair is frosting and my breathing lets out steam. “We must get you out at once,” Emma says and tries to break Jackson’s grip. “BELLE ! Help!” Emma yells and tries to get Jackson let go of me. “F-Fern,” I hear a small whisper from Jackson.

My body is shivering, it is so cold. Emma’s panicking voice is getting muffled as I feel my body getting numb from the freezing feeling. The sensation of needles pinching my skin is now changing to feeling of being weightless. “I…I am s-sorry,” I whispered and lifted my shaking hands up. I cupped Jackson’s head between my hands. And his hands go to squeeze my shoulders. It hurts so much, the feeling of getting frozen to death.

“J-Jackson, I am sorry,” my voice is more silent than a whisper. I hear now Emma’s voice on background. I feel their warm hands trying to get me loose. My eyes are slowly shutting but I lean closer. Before my eyes shut entirely I was so close to Jackson that our lips actually touched, they stuck together like when you did lick a cold metal as a child during winter. His eyes closed just before mine did.

POV Jackson

Coldness and darkness. All these years without knowing my purpose. When I finally knew myself I am still insecure. What was I supposed to be? Did I do the right decision? The Guardian of Believe is more of a Guardian of Failure if he can’t even convince his friend that Guardians exist. Failure is what I am.

World around me has vanished, I only have my minds darkest fears and doubts as my company. I don’t care, I just want to get out. Around me is people who try to reach me but I don’t want to face them. I rather let myself to be covered into eternal ice and stop existing.

“Jackson.” A whisper reaches my conscious. My hand lifted up by itself, getting a hold of someone. I stare in front of me. My sister is yelling but I am too tired to react. I hear the whisper again short after. “Jackson,” it says and my heart started to beat again. It was like my heart has woken up from deep sleep, beating faster and faster.

When my eyes shut I started to feel a warm sensation, my both hands were now on someone’s shoulders. I moved my lips and there was something pressing against them. Slowly I blink my eyes open, I see Fern there. I break apart and I see how Fern becomes numb and she fells against my chest. I am embracing her. “Fern, are you alright?” I whisper and pet her head.

My sisters are staring at me. Some tears are running on my cheeks, “W-what happened?” I whisper. “You lost control Jackie,” Emma sighs. I feel how Fern is shivering. Belle kneels next to me ,” She brought you back.. you kissed her.” Belle said and touched Fern’s forehead.

My cheeks turned deep red. “I don’t know what I did,” I whispered and I glanced at her. “Why is she wet?” I gulped. “You froze the room and her clothes too,” Emma sighed and my heart started to ache. Maybe I hurt her by accident? Emma places her hands over Fern’s body and closes her eyes. “Don’t worry, there is no damage except her being wet and cold,” Emma tells me and I sigh from relief.

I pick her up and take her to my bed. “Uh.. would you be so kind?” I blush and speak to Emma who nods. I wait until they have changed Fern’s clothes. She is now wearing my shirt and pants which Emma got from my closet. I walk fast to bed and I tuck her in. “She will be alright after sleeping some time,” Emma comforted me and gave me a hug.

“You like her don’t you?” Belle gave me a devious smirk and I rolled my eyes. “She is my friend. She just had to use extreme method to get me back to reality.. that is all,” I coughed and cleared my throat. Quickly I glanced at Fern who was sleeping.
