Jack Was Here

Chapter 10 : The Truth

Jack

Elsa and I talked for hours, until the sun started to set and she said she had to go home.

I took her back to the castle, but as we entered her room Anna was pacing back and forth throughout the room, looking very nervous.

She had her arms crossed and was tugging on her braids, " She doesn't leave her room for ten years and all the sudden she disappears! " she started talking to herself.

" Oh no, what have I done? " Elsa asks, but not really expecting a reply from me.

She was about to step off when in walked a tall skinny man wearing a white doctor's robe. Elsa stiffened at the sight of him, so did I, I instantly recognized him.

" Do you know him? " I asked Elsa.

" Yeah, he's my doctor, but I don't want him to see me, he thinks I'm crazy, " she answers me, " Because I thought I was too, when I had a snowball fight with supposedly no one. "

Just then the Doctor looked directly at us, I knew he could see us, unlike Anna.

" Can he see us? " Elsa asked me.

I wasn't sure what to say, I opened my mouth to talk, but then he said something, " Where is she? "

" I don't know, I locked the door, and then called you, there's no way she could have left, " Anna replied.

" I'm sure she's around here somewhere, " he said staring me down.

" Leave, " Elsa spoke.

I wasn't sure if I heard her right, " What? " I asked.

" Leave, go quickly, " she said.

I didn't know exactly what that meant, did she just want me to leave? Or us? Unsure, I started to fly backwards out the window, very slowly, so she had even time to get off if she wanted to, but she didn't.

We left the room and she asked me to go into the room beside hers.

" What am I supposed to tell Anna? " she asked, more to herself than me.

She stepped off my staff and started biting her fingernails nervously.

" The truth? " I offered, shrugging my shoulders.

She looked at me and laughed, " Yeah, and then she won't believe me and then call the doctor again, " she sighed.

" Well, maybe you could- " I began, but was interrupted by Anna opening the door.

" Elsa! " she shouted, " Thank goodness! Where have you been? " she questioned, running over to her.

Elsa

Anna came rushing towards me and I had no response to her question, " Umm, well, I.... " I tried to think of something, but nothing came.

" Tell her you came to borrow a book, " Jack said, pointing to the bookshelves across the room.

" I came to borrow a book, " I stated, trying to believe my lie while pointing in the same direction as Jack.

" Okay, well, Dr. Black is here for your check-up, " she said, " Plus we want to make sure your okay for the big day tomorrow! " she jumped up and down with excitement.

I was about to ask her what the big day was when it hit me... my coronation. I was completely unprepared, I wasn't ready to deal with the pressure of keeping my powers in around a room full of people all night. I still wasn't comfortable around Anna, but for some reason lately I hadn't been as cautious.

That thought made me very angry at myself, I was being so selfish, I was endangering Anna's and Dr. Black's lives.

Anna was still smiling at me, I tried to show no emotion, to make her think I didn't care, so that I wouldn't hurt her, " Go get Dr. Black, " I said, my harsh tone surprising Anna and myself.

Her smile faded and she nodded her head as she headed out the door.

" Elsa, there's something you should know about Dr. Black, " Jack said behind me.

" Why do I have to be like that? " I asked myself, not paying attention to Jack's words, " Why can't I just learn to control it? " I asked myself another question.

I started walking around the room, " Elsa, he's dangerous, " Jack continued. 

I didn't respond to Jack again. He flew in front of me, making me stop pacing around the room, " He's not a doctor, he's a- "

Jack was interrupted by Dr. Black coming through the door, " Hello Elsa, how have you been doing lately? Anna called me this morning saying there was a little trouble, " he said, looking very concerned.

" Well, I'm feeling just fine, so Anna must have been mistaken, " I said. 

He looked at me like he didn't believe me, " If you say you're fine, then I don't think you'll mind if we do a check up, " he said, while searching through his bag. 

" Okay, " I gulped, I was so nervous, I knew I wasn't crazy, or was I? I didn't even know anymore.

" Great, now if I can get you to close your eyes, we can begin, " Dr. Black spoke. 

I did as he said, and the last thing I saw was him smiling at me. 

Jack

Elsa listened to him and closed her eyes, he knew I was there and just before I could say or do anything, he flicked his wrist, casting a spell around the room. As the spell formed it slowly pushed me away from Elsa and "Dr. Black". The window opened and the spell shoved me out of the window, closing it after I was out. 

I glared at him and he smirked at me, I tried to open the window, but as I expected the window was firmly locked by the spell. 

It was so typical of him, to use his magic so he could do whatever he wanted, which in this case, was keeping me from telling Elsa the truth about him. 

I'm not sure what he wants with her, but I plan to find out, so I can warn her... wait a second, why do I care so much? I wanted to say because she the only person I can talk to, literally, but something inside of me tells me different. What could it be? 

I sighed, not knowing what to do, I felt so helpless, but there is one thing I can do when he finally leaves. I will tell her the truth, who he really is, that he's not a doctor, but he's really Pitch Black.
