The Princess and the Guardian

Chapter 37

*Elsa Moon*

Jack and I walked into the forest silently, I got tired of it and broke it.

"So...where are we going?" I asked him.

"Somewhere." Was all he said. I sighed and stopped. I took off my shoes and carried them, he was walking ahead of me until he realized I was missing. He looked around himself and found me.

"Why did you take your heels off?" He asked. I'm Aqua, pretending to be an orphan who never had a home. I'm supposed to be a rebel.

"Because they annoy me. I'm not used to wearing any type of shoes." I say simply walking towards him.

"Alrighty then." He chuckled to himself and kept walking.

"Why won't you tell me where we're going?" I ask frustrated.

"Because it's a surprise for you, Blue hair." He said winking at me.

"Thank you." I say. He looks at me confused.

"What for?" He asked.

"For being my 'Valentine' as the King says it." I say chuckling.

"Oh that. It's no biggy." He says sincierly.

"I wanted you to have a good first experience for you first Valentines day." Jack continued.

"Well, thank you anyways." I said sincerely.

"Your welcome." He said then grabbed my hand and started running.

"Why are we running?" I asked as we ran through the forest.

"Because, I want to show you something." He said without stopping.

Then we reached a sign. The Swan's Lake. Is this where he wanted to take me?

"What is this place?" I said playing
dumb.

"It's Swan's Lake, I used to meet up with someone here." He said the last part silently.

"Who?" I asked inconspicuously.

"Just someone. But she never saw this part of it, because someone wouldn't let her come here." He explained without giving names.

"She huh?" I teased.

"Anyways, come on." He said changing the subject and pulling me towards the little bridge on top of the pond.

"What?" I asked. He checked his watch. I looked at it too. It was almost 5:00pm. Did we really take that long in the forest?

"5...4...3...2..." He trailed off. Then the pond let out a glow. It was beautiful. A rainbow glowed through the light. The water raised and turned into the shape of a heart. It was unexplainable on what it looked like. This was a magical place after all.

"It's so...beautiful." I said softly looking at the light.

"It is isn't it." He said.

"It only happens every Valentines day." He continued looking at me.

"It's lovely. Why didn't your friend ever see it?" I asked trying to see if he would give out our information.

"Because she wasn't allowed to leave with me." He said his eyes turning a little hard.

"Why not?" I pressed.

"Don't push it blue hair. I'm not going to say. It's only between me and her." Jack said playfully.

"Alright I'm sorry. I get it...you don't trust me." I said and walked out of the bridge and into the grass. He follows behind as the light disappeared.
