I watch as I slowly float up through the surface and the ice breaks apart, allowing me to break through. I gasp for air, coughing and spitting out water. I slow down my breathing and notice I'm floating in the air. My heart rate picks up, but then I see the beam of light shining down on me. I close my eyes, smiling under the moonlight.
'You...are..chosen..'
My eyes snap open as a voice talking in my head. I look towards the moon in confusion, then it all clicks. My father had talked about this. "Why me? Wasn't my father suppose to have this job?" I look away. My words made it sound like I would rather be dead.
'You...are..new guardian..' The voice starts to fade away and I gently float back down. I quickly turn to look back at the moon, but it was now covered with clouds.
I look down at my clothes, which were soaking wet. Sighing, I look around. My father said this was around the time when he got his staff, shouldn't I have mine? I huff and start to walk away, but step on something.
"Right on time." I pick it up and frost quickly gathers on it. My eyes go wide at the sight. I hadn't actually expected any kind of powers. I mean, I guess I should have, since both my parents had frost powers..but I never believed that I would get some!! A smile slowly creeps to my face and I quickly grab the staff, and make a run back to the castle. I make sure to freeze up some trees on my way.
I stop at the castle gates and breathe in the air, smells from the bakery still linger in the air. I smile and run though the town, finally making it to the main castle doors. I try to pull the handle, but it was lock. I tap on the door and soon enough a servant opens the door.
"Hi Judy!" I smile, but it's like she doesn't see me. I frown and move past her before she could close the door. I run up the steps, a big smile on my face. 'I'm going to walk in there, give them a big hug and say Mom! Dad! I finally got powers! I don't know how, but I'm like you dad!' I grin even wider at the thought. I burst through the doors, seeing them both in my mothers room, only father is on the balcony. "Mom! Dad!"
Mom's back is turned away from me, but I watch as dad's eyes go wide and he steps away from the edge of the balcony. "Jessica...where have you been?! We've been looking all over the place!" Dad rushes over to me and puts his arms around my shoulders.
"Dad, dad. I'm fine." This isn't what was suppose to happen. 'Why are they so worried about me?'
"Jack, Jessica isn't there. What are you talking about? I'm sure we'll find her soon, dear. I've sent a group out and we're going to leave ourselves soon-"
"Elsa! Jessica is right here!" Jack says in surprise, turning me so I could face my mother. I watch as her eyebrows furrow in confusion. "She's...like me...You have to believe." My eyes look up to my father, but snap back to Elsa when I hear her gasp and fall to the floor.
"No...no...she..died?" She finally stutters out. I pull out of my dads 'embrace' and run towards her, putting my arms around her, but they just fall through her body.
"D-dad..what's going on?" I mumble and try to grab my mom again. Nothing. I turn to my father, tears swelling in my eyes. He rushes over, placing a hand on her back.
"Elsa, please. You have to believe that she is alive and is standing right next to you." Elsa shakes her head.
"Don't you see? Jessica is dead..shes.." I watch as my mother throws her hands to her face and cry's. A tear falls onto my cheek and I shake my head, backing up towards the balcony.
"Jessica? What are you doing?" My father asks, catching me in the corner of his eye. I shake my head, the tears start coming in faster. I stand on the balcony and look down, seeing sharp rocks and the ocean. I take a deep breath and step off.
Gravity instantly pulls me down and I whisper one word softly. "Wind." It picks up and I lay back, letting the wind take me anywhere it wishes.
"JESSICA!" My father yells and that's the last thing I hear before the wind starts to howl in my ears.
~~~~~~~~~
The wind starts to die down and before I knew it I was crash landing in some dark ally. I hiss at the slight pain in my ankle, but stand anyways. 'This can't be good..where am I?' I groan and run a hand through my hair. 'Where to start?' I shrug and follow the left route. I kick a few rocks and before I knew it voices started to whisper in my mind. I cringe, listening to my mothers voice. '"No...no...she..died?"' I fall against the wall, clutching my head, trying to make the voices stop. '"Don't you see? Jessica is dead..shes.."'
"Well, well...lookie here." The voices suddenly click off, like flipping a switch. I slowly take my hands away from my head and stare at them as they shake violently. I turn my gaze down at the ground and see a dark form. My eyes trail up the figure until they're met with bright gold eyes. I close my mouth, suddenly realizing that it was gaping open. I start to get up, but a hand shoots out of the darkness. I meet the eyes again and slowly put my hand in the strangers. I think the stranger smirks, but before I knew it I was hoisted to my feet and being pulled down the ally.
"Hey, wait a sec-" The stranger puts a finger to my mouth. I glare, but my eyes widen when we come to a street lamp...and a street!!! But...where the heck was I? I turn to ask the stranger, but my words stop in my throat.
It's a male. He wears all black; pants, shoes, sweatshirt. Even his hair was black! His bangs sway to the side, but the back sticks up a little. His skin, pale as snow. The only real color was his eyes, the most beautiful shade of gold I've ever seen. "Names Vincent. I know, I know. Not as cool as my fathers, but it does have a ring to it." He chuckles, the sound ringing in my ears like the sweetest melody that's ever been sung on earth.
"O-oh..um I'm Jessica..Jessica Frost. Who is your father by the way?" I ask, staring into his eyes, totally entranced..at least until he gives me a weird look. I blush and look away, trying hard not to look at him.
"Pitch Black. Ever heard of him?"
