Frozen Heart

Chapter 2; Coronation Day

Early in the morning the ship announced the arrival to Arandelle. The day was shinning so bright as a normal day in summer. Rapunzel was getting the last details done before she could see her cousins. Jack in the other hand, was a little bit upset. He was happy to be there and to see Elsa again but he didn’t want to do more...

—Help her. How easy when she won’t even see me. What if she decided not to see me again and when I look at her she won’t know I’m here... I don’t even know what I am doing here. Why did I come, anyway? To help her, yes but how? I tried to help her but she shut me out... that’s not fair for me. She won’t listen to me...

—Jack? –Rapunzel interrupted- I think we should go...

—I’ll be right behind you.

The town looked so bright than the last time. It was a party day and everyone knew it. Jack wanted to do something fun but he couldn’t. Rapunzel looked stunning and she was very happy. For a minute Jack forgot the reason he was there, he just saw her being so childish and excited. By the time the gates opened a certain dark was inside the castle, he heard whispers and those whispers called his name.

—Pitch? –He muttered

—Jack, hello! What took you so long to arrive?

—I told you to stay away from her!

—Easy mate, I just arrived actually and she’s making all by herself. I don’t think she needs me –he mocked- Now have some fun tonight and dress properly, this is a Coronation celebration, and the queen wouldn’t like to see you dressing up like a poor kid.

Jack looked at himself as Pitch disappeared. He was right but he needed to stop listening to him, but he looked in one of the mirrors and saw his clothes.

—Great, the bogey man is damn right. I can’t wear this...

It took him hours to find proper clothes to the time. He never liked shoes and now he was wearing them. He found a nice outfit in blue and yes, he fixed his hair. Jack laughed a little bit but also was glad that he could change his appearance. He looked like a proper person and no one could ever tell, except from Rapunzel. But something changed, he went to see Rapunzel and somehow everyone started to notice him.

—Jack? –Rapunzel interrupted her talk with Anna- You look... great! –she smiled.

—Who is this? –Anna asked. She could see him and Rapunzel and Jack were speechless

—You can see him? –Rapunzel implied. Anna nodded- Wow, well he’s Jack Frost... Jack, she’s Anna.

—Ah nice to meet you Anna...

The party was about to start, he missed the coronation but at least he could see her now. They called for Queen Elsa of Arandelle and while everyone rejoiced in that moment Jack remained silent. There she was in a perfect posture for a queen. She looked different than three years ago. She seemed like all her fear disappeared and she looked as the queen everyone was waiting for.

—She looks so pretty, don’t you think?

—Yeah she is...

For a moment Rapunzel was having fun by herself and she forgot about Jack being there too. But he was paying attention to anything Elsa was doing, until she refused to dance with someone. He walked to her and touched her shoulder.

—Would you like to dance?

—I am sorry, but I- You... –she shocked- What are you doing here? How-?

—I know your cousin, Rapunzel. We’re good friends, she invited me and you owe me a dance because I am dressing like a clown –she giggled.

—I didn’t ask you to dress like that.

—I know, but I wanted to look presentable for the occasion so please one dance and I’ll go

Elsa looked fearful and anxious. Jack grabbed her hand softly and took her to the centre of the ballroom.

—You can’t hurt me, Elsa –He whispered and the music started to play.

The danced for a short time, none of both had that experience before. It was completely bizarre but at the same time it felt good. She was the first person he could be himself and she felt the same way. She couldn’t hurt him... for now.
