POV Jack

Some frost here and there. My staff scratches the brick wall and frost forms on it. It has been over a year, year and three months to precise since Jackson was born last year at the end of September. We were so lucky that Anna promised to take care of them both while we are away. Yes, both. Anna has now a daughter who was born in the end of May.

So the Kingdom of Arendelle has now a Princess named Sofia and a Prince called Jackson, my and Elsa’s son. My work in this part of the world is ready now, right after I have frozen one more lake. Lately I have been busy to create winter, mainly because it is that time of the year. It is winter.

The wind that I called lifted me up and I start to fly slowly because I am still checking the streets. It was the middle of the a night and soon I saw a couple fighting. Something about the man being a jerk and how he never does the dishes. Wow, am I glad that Elsa isn’t like that. Well most of the time anyway. As I flew past them I made the man slip on a little icy part of the street – don’t know how that happened. Just kidding but they forgot their argument and started laughing. Much better that way!

Even though Anna was taking care of Jackson with Kristoff I wanted so bad to get back home to Arendelle. My family was dear to me. One of the best things was when I managed to have the babies laugh to my stunts. Yeah, Sofia sees me too because she is still a child and hopefully she will always believe in guardians.

Soon I passed the mountain side which always tells me that I’m close to Arendelle. Laughter from joy rushed from inside of me. Just been a few hours apart from my loved ones and already I felt  this excited. That feeling was always so crazy.

When I landed to Anna's and Kristoff's balcony it was already early morning. Slowly I pushed the doors open and quickly closed them behind me so they wouldn’t freeze since it was January and the weather was a bit chilly.

Anna woke up even though I tried to move like a mouse, silent and hastily. “Hi, Jack.. Everything went fine last night. No new emotions… Elsa is still at work.” Then she yawned and rolled to her other side on bed. She was already sleeping again.

Baby Jackie was now a toddler and already giggling when he saw me. Gently I lifted him on my lap and we left to my and Elsa’s bedroom. Jackie made some snowflakes which made me laugh a little. Everything seemed so interesting to him. He looked at me so eagerly with his eyes which were brown like mine were before I became what I am today.

As we were in our bedroom I placed Jackie on our bed and went to lay next to him. This is one of our traditions when mommy isn’t already home. We just look at each other and sometimes I make some frost animals dance in the air. He really likes that. He likes everything that involves snow and ice.

His personality somehow reminds me of his mum. The way his powers work. He needs to learn to deal with his emotions and that is the key to control the powers he and Elsa have. When the emotion he is going through is new..well.. then you better be me or Elsa and if you’re not you should run. His powers are magnificent but when he experiences new stuff the powers can get a little bit out of control.

When he got scared for the first time ever the whole room went to solid ice. It was like an explosion of cold rushed from our precious baby Jackie, the walls had ice spikes pushing from them. Fortunately only I and Elsa were at the room at that moment. Still we don’t know what he was so afraid of then but now he knows that mommy and daddy won’t let anything bad happen to him so that emotion hasn’t caused any problems. He will learn to control his powers and emotions, I’m sure of it. He won’t be locked away like my precious wife was all those years ago because she was so afraid of herself.

Jackie falls asleep and my thoughts wander back to Elsa. She hasn’t returned yet. Maybe I shouldn’t have promised that she could take care of some of my work also. However she was really convincing (froze me against a wall and I almost had a heart attack) when she insisted that I should let her handle it in Russia. She said that she had some children that needed her care at that direction and she would be able to but some frost and snow in there at the same trip while I went to United States.

Lately Pitch has been scaring the children in various places. He goes to them when they're sleeping and turns their sweet dreams to nightmare. My hand gently patted Jackie’s forehead, at least he was safe and sleeping peacefully.

Elsa was having it ruff since she was able to hear the children’s fear and despair at every moment. Sometimes she just left when she felt that some child needed her right that moment. She was the Guardian of Caring. She comforted the children and told them that they will be all right. Her touch and the feeling of her being close made the children feel better, so she kind of does the same thing as me but not using fun as a tool. She uses herself and her compassion and care for others. Makes sense that she made me feel whole for the first time in my life.

I slowly get up from the bed and try to not wake up Jackie. He needed to be in his own bed so I placed him to sleep in there. I kissed his forehead and went to sit on the balcony.

“Where are you Elsa? You should be home already.” My words are a whisper and worry fills my body. I watch as the sunrise paints the sky in pastel colors of pink and blue. The air vibrates because the heat is meeting the cold air after I opened the balcony doors so I could go outside. In silence I just stare to horizon and wonder where she could be at this moment. Is she seeing the same sky as I do? My breath shows as a steam in the cold outside air.

POV Elsa

Now I’m truly happy that cold doesn’t bother me. This was my first time in Russia and who would have guessed that there could be so cold places in the world. In here it is over -30 degrees Celsius (-22F) and the night is silent. For some time now I have been feeling that the children here needed my help. For many nights I had felt the cries and children being scared at this part of the world.

My job was to comfort scared children so they would sleep easier at night. Sandy was busy giving children sweet dreams and defeating Pitches dark horses so he could turn the nightmares to dreams again. However not many of the guardians knew how to deal with children and their feelings. Well, Jack does but he has to create winter and have the children have fun.

That is where I come to picture if there is a child so scared after the nightmare and doesn’t want to sleep. As a child I was scared and after my parents died I was alone because I didn’t want anyone close to me. Now I will help the children who for some reason have no one to give them comfort.

Sometimes Jack comes with me to my patrols but now it is the busiest time of year to him since it is January. Now I help him by giving Russia snow and frost. Just don’t tell Jack that I don’t like to freeze pathways or roads. It could be dangerous you know. He just enjoys watch at people who are slipping, normally those people just laugh at it but what if something bad happens? I know that he says that he would create a fresh pile of snow under the falling people so they wouldn’t get hurt. Nice idea but what if he is too late? It is dangerous in my mind.

Also this time I didn’t want Jack to come. He was sometimes too overprotective towards me and he would freak out if he knew that I went to front line of the battle with Pitch. I mean I have seen a few dark horses in here but they were easy to handle with a few ice blasts. Of course I didn’t mention him about the fresh tracks from Pitch here in Russia. I had also to do some convincing with Sandy to shut his mouth about this since he was fighting here with those nightmare bringing horses.  Well, he promised not to tell to Jack with his sand signs after I threatened to freeze his signing sand.

I had been here for few hours. Many children needed my help and that is why I couldn’t stand to hear their despair any longer. That is why I needed to come here today and not later when Jack thinks it is safe. “For Jack this wouldn’t seem safe at all.” I said my thoughts aloud when I blasted one dark horse to pieces on a tall buildings roof top.

Just when I was about to leave with breaking a snow globe I heard something. Yes, I cannot fly like Jack does but I can make the snow and ice travel me to places that are not too far away. This travel needed a snow globe since Arendelle is too far away.

“One more place and then I will be off.” I thought and realized that it was almost dawn. Quickly I used my powers to make a snow pillar to lift me up to a certain window. There was a little girl crying, she must have been having a bad dream because of the dark horse that I just moments ago destroyed.

“What is wrong little one?” I said with warm tone and sat next to her on the floor. At first she startled when she saw me. For children it was easy to believe in me since every child wishes for comfort and someone to protect them.

“The nightmare!” The girl was wiping her eyes with sleeve of pajama shirt. “It was so scary and I’m afraid to sleep. Mum and dad left early for work today and I’m alone. What if the boogeyman comes for me?” She was sobbing and I wrapped my arms around her. “I’m here, nothing will harm you. I promise. ”

She smiled faintly. “Oh..who are you lady?” Her eyes were staring at me with confusion. She wasn’t older than ten years old and trusted to a strange woman that arrived at her home early at the morning. I chuckled. “I guess I need to introduce myself. I’m Elsa, Elsa Frost.”

She gasped. “Oh, like Jack Frost!” Her reaction was so excited that you couldn’t believe that she managed to stay in her pants. “Yeah, like the Jack Frost.” I laughed. “So do you believe in him?” She nodded.

She wasn’t crying anymore and seemed to be putting pieces together in her mind. “Do you believe in Jack Frost?” Her green eyes were clear and curious while she asked me this. “Yes I do.” She jumped up and kept her hands as fists while she screamed in excitement. “Do you know him? I mean are you related to him. You’re Frost too!”

Her pose made me laugh. “Well, in the matter of fact I do know him. We are married.” I smiled while she sat in front of me. Her mind was now away from the bad things judging from her reactions. “That is so cool! So are you one of the legends too?”

“Yeah but I’m a little new to this guardian stuff.” I winked my eye. This was sure a nice job to do and it comes with certain privileges like knowing how to speak with different languages. “So.. What can you do miss?” It was a challenge. She looked excited when I showed her a snowflake which I did. “So cool! No wonder that Jack chose you!” She giggled and hugged me. “Thank you for making me to feel better.”

As she started to get ready for school I left the room. It always felt good for helping others. Everything has changed in few years since the accident happened with Anna. Now I consider my powers as a gift thanks to people close to me.

Again I pull the snow globe from my dresses pocket. There is one single pocket in my dress for keeping snow globes so I could travel, it is an easy addition to my dresses which I make myself from ice.

Something moves on my right side and it catches my attention. It was a figure that was moving fast in the shadows. I looked closely at it when it stopped to a rooftop that was shaded by a taller building. It was a boy holding a staff. The figure was Jack and I felt angry.

My snow pillar lifted me up to rooftop. “Jack! I told you I could do this by myself. Go home already?” The figure didn’t answer to my call. Instead it jumped down to a dark alley between the two high buildings. I followed it down.

“Jack! Stop playing around.” I sighed and moved closer. The figure was just standing in the shadows. Then I saw him or “it” would be more describing word. He resembled Jack in many ways but was different. As it moved it was like a one of Sandy’s dream sand animals was moving. This wasn’t even dream sand. It was black.

It was a dark version of Jack and it moved closer to me step by step. Every step it took made me feel more afraid than the one before. “Klip- Klop –Klip – Klop”. The sound of the footsteps combined to the sound that the dark staff made when it hit the ground made me shiver. I couldn’t attack it by blasting ice, I just couldn’t because I was afraid it would be Jack in Pitch’s control. I might hurt him.

Slowly I backed. “No, this can’t be!” I gasped and then I hit to something that was behind of me. “Nice to see you again, Elsa.” The voice was evil and dark which made my eyes wide from fear. “No..no.. Pitch go away!” Quickly I turned around and begged from him.

Now I was backing away from Pitch who was laughing with so much pleasure in his voice that it made chills even on my spine. “What have you done with Jack?” I screamed and bumped into something. Black sand arm wrapped around me and held me so I couldn’t move my arms. Black Jack was holding me, it was far different from the gentle style Jack always holds me. This actually hurt.

”To Jack?” He laughed and watched me with evil grin. “I have done nothing to him yet but I guess I did great job with my black sand Jack since you feel so worried. “ I felt little relieved to hear that this thing wasn’t my dear Jack.

Then I felt anger. “Let me go! What do you want from me!” I screamed and his laughter went louder. “Well at first I want to hurt Jack but.. having everything would be a good summary!” Then something hit me on my head and everything went blurry.
