Winters Revenge

Chapter Twenty-Two-Confrontation

Time: 1.30pm

Jack closed the door behind him as it locked, he looked around in the brightly lit hallway. His boots were heavy on the wooden floor as they quickly walked towards the stairs while he tapped at his phone.

Message: Jack to Grace.

Hey! Where'd you go? Did Elsa head back to her room?

Message: From Grace

Hey! No took her to see Anna last time I saw them all was when they were in the institute kitchen.

Message: Jack to Grace

Okay I'll go see if she's still there!

Jack looked up from his phone as he glanced down the stair heading towards the kitchen where everyone would be. His heart fluttered at the thought of everyone being together again since high school and not only that but Elsa being there..... as he approaches the room finally he takes a deep breath as he pulls on the sleeve of his leather jacket, he could hear the sounds of talking and laughing from outside and he wondered if Elsa was joining in? he scratched the back of his neck walking inside as the heads of his friends whipped around to the doorway.

Flynn "Look who it is! Back from seeing Tiffany I gather?" he chuckled while his girlfriend Punzie gave him the look of warning.

Jack "Shut up its not like that." he shook his head.

Flynn "Oh really?" he glared.

Jack "Yes actually it's not, anyways have you seen Elsa? I need to talk to her." He expresses.

Hiccup "She went with Anna to have some alone time to talk out of the way of everything and the noise." He smiled.

Jack "Do you know where they went?"

Punzie "They went to the Green room." She smiled happily taking a bite of her sandwich she'd made earlier.

Flynn raised his hand down to the plate taking her other half as she smacked his hand back down to the plate.

Punzie "Get your own damn sandwich!" she giggled.

Flynn "I thought sharing was caring?" he chuckled.

Punzie "You love stealing my food!"

Flynn "And I love you!" he says softly.

Jack rolls his eyes at the sound of their affections to one another as he turns to head out the door.

Hiccup "Everything okay?" he asked his best friend.

Jack "Yeah why wouldn't it be?" he said turning back around.

Hiccup "You just seem very determined to talk to Elsa that's all."

Jack shrugged not wanting to bring any more attention to the fact he needed to speak to her urgently. His heart pounded at the thought of Elsa not being here, but as he approached the Green room where everyone hung around if they wanted somewhere quiet to go. He heard the voices of laugher, his pulse raised hearing the sound of Elsa's voice coming from inside the room. His feet stopped outside the room as his heart hammered loudly against his chest, his mind was overthinking of what to say the moment he saw her, but his body had taken the step before him to enter the room. His eyes darted towards Elsa who locked hers onto his colbat orbs.

Elsa "Jack?" she called out.

Jack "Oh erm Els....... Sorry I know your busy right now.....but I need to talk to you...." he trailed off the nerves getting the better of him suddenly.

Elsa "Is everything alright?" she asked the butterflies in her stomach fluttered.

Jack "yes I just .... please can we talk? It's important." He pleaded.

Elsa looked Anna who sighed deeply at the thought of her sister being taken away from her mid conversation of getting to know her again.

Anna "Go on! Go talk its not like we can't see each other later." She smiled.

Elsa "Anna are you sure? We've only just started talking." She says.

Anna "Yes go on!"

Elsa rises from her sit as she walks over to Jack who stands awkwardly in the doorway pulling at the sleeve of his jacket again, he was nervous to say the least about talking to Elsa about what he knew but Tiffany was right she had to know how he felt about the situation and maybe somehow it could give her someone to lean on. Elsa smiled weakly at him as she stood in front of him, she could sense that there was something she wasn't telling her, and it was the fact that he'd maybe ran away before? The butterflies fluttered again as she stared into his whirlpools, his fingers laced with hers while her sister tried not to crack a smile at his actions. She was pretending not to watch the two together as she looked out the window of the institute, she couldn't help but watch from the corner of her eye as Jack pulled Elsa from the room. Elsa felt the warm hand of Jacks pull her into the hallway gently guiding her towards the hallway, her mind span with thoughts why he wanted to talk to her but the gut feeling of something bad made her feel sick. Jack continued to walk with her hand in his for what seemed like ages until they came to the other side of the institute where Nicks office was.

Elsa slipped her hand from Jack's as she stood there confused of why they'd walked so far away from the other side of the institute.

Elsa "Jack what's going on? Why are we all the way here?" she asked.

Jack "Because I need to talk to you about something." He said with tear filled eyes.

Elsa "Yes you said that but what about?" she held her upper arm.

Jack "I don't know how to say this....." he trails off.

Elsa "Jack your starting to worry me." She says.

Jack "Why didn't you tell me about what Pitch was doing to you?" he blurted out.

Elsa "W-W-What?...." she stuttered.

Jack "You know what." He said softly.

Elsa "I don't know.... W-what you're talking about." She said turning around and walking away.

Jack takes her hand in his pulling back with a small tug towards him as she hits his chest, looking up at him with her blue sapphire orbs that were full of tears that had already started to form down her cheeks. His arms wrapped around her while her body shook at the thought of him knowing the truth, was he really talking about what she thought he was talking about? The sick rose to her throat making the warm acid burn onto her tongue......
