Cold Love (A Jelsa Fanfic)

Chapter 4: Don't Get Too Close

Chapter 4

I steadied my ragged breathing. I raised my arms ready to protect myself from whatever ability Jack Frost had.

He slowly lifted his staff, then began twirling it in the air as if it weighed nothing. The staff had begun to glow a luminous blue. He pointed it at the ceiling just above my head. I swiftly turned my head in that direction. Giant icicles began to grown from the ceiling.

I dropped my arms in awe. Ice! That was his power. Just like mine. I felt a huge surge of joy. I wasn't alone. The vibrating icicles brought me back to reality. They were shaking. I realised that they were going to fall on me. I held up my hands, ready for them to come down. Snow began to twirl around on my palms. The snow hardened, turning into a sharp icicle. I threw it forcefully at Jack hand in which he was holding his precious staff.

The icicle twisted in the air heading for his hand. Before I had time to see what damage it had done, though I did hear a yelp escape from Jack, the giant icicles that grew on the ceiling were plummeting down. Raising my hands once again, I willed my snow powers to entwine the icicles in to a tornado of snow. They were now floating in the air, surrounding by a snowstorm.

But I wasn't ready to finish it up just yet. I began to think of all those years of isolation. The fear that grew inside of me. The pain I caused my family. My sister, though she didn't know it. And with so much force I pushed the icicles at Jack. He was reaching for his staff when he saw the danger coming towards him. The icicles pinned him against the back wall. One just about missing his head.

I was having too much fun.

Spikes made of ice arose from the stage. I obliged them to move forward until the sharp tip of the largest spike was touching Jacks neck. Jack tried turning he head away, to get away from the sharp point, but he had no space.

"Stop! Stop, stop STOP!" Mr Lendrick yelled. "This has gone too far. Are you trying to kill him, Elsa?" He turned towards me. My eyes flickered to Jack to Mr Lendrick and back again. I gasped.

Jacks palm was bleeding were my icicle had cut him.

What have I done? I looked at my hands in disgust. I almost killed someone again. Tears welled up in my eyes as I looked at Jack. Hoping he'd understand. Then I whispered to Mr Lendrick.

"I'm so sorry."

My feet stumbled beneath me as I ran for the door. Everyone was looking at me. I passed Beatrice. She looked so worried, not scared like everyone else. I wanted to hug her. But I couldn't. Not right now. I was dangerous.

I seemed to run forever before I finally reached the door knob. But it was probably on a few seconds. I didn't stop running after leaving the classroom. I continued my way down the hall until I found a small dark corner under the huge staircase.

How could I have let it gone this far? Why was I always so foolish when it came to my powers?

A few minutes later I heard someone call my name.

"Elsa?" It was Jack. He almost whispered my name, as if he was scared I would run away again, like a scared little animal. He found me sitting there, under the staircase. "Elsa?" He whispered again.

"Go away." I moaned. "Please, I really don't want to hurt you, Jack."

He sighed and sat down beside me. "It's not that easy to hurt me, dear."

Dear? I looked at him. "You're the third person I've almost killed." I said. "I can't deal with this curse anymore."

Jack whistled, "3 people? Well someone's got a record" he teased, smiling.

I smacked him on the shoulder. "This is not funny!"

Jack smile faltered. He grabbed my hands into his. They were soft and warm, which I though strange, since he had the power of ice.

"What you have is not a curse but a gift. You just have to see it as one."

And then he looked at me. Really looked at me. His eyes unfolding my darkest secrets. He was beautiful. I wanted to kiss him right there and then. But I couldn't do that. I knew what would happen if I got to close. It would just hurt. Tears filled my eyes a rolled down my cheeks.

"Shhh, don't cry princess." Jack whispered, he cupped my chin with his hand and brushed away the tears with his delicate thumb.

I heard the bell ring, signaling the end of class and the beginning of  a new one. Hesistanty I pushed Jack away.

"I have to get to class." I sniffled. Then I proceeded to stiffly walk away.

Conceal don't feel, I muttered. But this time I wasn't concealing my powers.

But my feelings for Jack
