NCIS: Arendale

Chapter 20

*Anna's POV*

Jack refuses to leave Elsas room. Let alone that chair he's been sitting in for a week.

He hasn't gone home to change. His pants have dry blood on them, and his vest was covered in it when Chris North took it back to NCIS.

I come to check on Elsa every other day. Jack just shakes his head when I ask if she had opened her eyes yet. Today, has been ten days since they found Elsa.

Still, her eye lids haven't even fluttered. I sit down next to Jack. He's holding Elsas hand as always. "Jack, you really need to go home. Get some rest."

He shakes his head. "No, no, I'm not leaving. What if she wakes up and there's no one here? She'll think that no one cares about her."

"She's not going to think that if you're not here."

"I don't believe that.." he looks away from me. "Every time I leave to, use the bathroom, or take a shower..I wonder if she's going to wake up while I'm gone."

"Do you at least want to go home and change?"

"I told you Anna I'm not leaving her." He says almost yelling. Jack takes a deep breath, then kisses Elsas hand. "Would you want me to get you a change of clothes?"

He doesn't answer for a moment. Then he runs his free hand across his jaw and gets his keys from his pocket. "And please, get my guitar too. I've always wanted to play her something."

He smiles then drops the keys in my hand. I get up from my seat, but turn back around. "Oh, I came to tell you that, Hans is being put on trial. So are Gaston, and all of his other accomplices that took part in this."

He just nods, I hesitate again. "...Nobody blames you Jack. For what happened. And I can bet you anything Elsa doesn't either." With that I leave the room.

Kristoff is waiting for me when I leave. "Is he still beating himself up over it?" He asks.

"Extremely. He asked me to go to his house to get his guitar and a change of clothes."

"I know where he lives. I'll take you there."

"Thank you." Kristoff gives me a light kiss. "Anything for my princess." I smile and get inside the car with him.

*Jacks POV*

Before Elsa had been taken, I was planning on singing to her when she got back from the Southern Isles. I don't know if she'll hear me, but at least I would've been able to say that I did it.

When Anna left, I started thinking of a song to sing to her. She deserves a special one. Not just any song.

Of course, she wouldn't even be in this situation if it weren't for me. "I'm sorry Elsa...this is all my fault." I lay my head down beside her.

Again, I start to cry. "This is all my fault....I'm so, so, so..sorry. I love you so much and I let this happen. I never should have left you."

I look back at her, sleeping face. Calm. Not a care in the world. "God why did I leave you??" More tears fall from my eyes. She looks so perfect.

I put my head back down on the bed. "You deserve so much better t-...than what I can give you." My hand delicately holds her face.

"But I love you so much that I can't let you go...please, come back to me." I wait for a moment, hoping that she'll open those, beautiful blue, eyes.

"Please.." My voice cracks, and my thumb rubs over her cheek. So gentle, so soft. I kiss her lips. As usual, they're unresponsive. Hesitantly, my fingers go across her lips, and her face.
