The Snow Queen And The Frost Prince.

I twisted my hair into a bun and clipped it into place.  The weeks have flown and it was the night of my engagement ball. 

I snorted at the thought.  I never thought I'd be having an engagement announcement.

I slapped down my brush with too much force and I placed my face into my hands.

Am I really going to go through with this?  Is this what I really wanted to do?  I have no love for that man but maybe Anna could. 

Shouldn't I give Anna the option? Yes he would never love her but I know she would do better with him.

I couldn't do that, Anna deserved love in its purest form. She wouldn't get that with him.  So I have to bite the bullet on this one.

There was a soft knock on the door I sighed and yelled for whoever it was to come in. 

I kept my face in my hands and waited for whoever walked in to speak.  But they didn't.  It was silent.  I looked up from my hands and locked eyes with Jack.

He said nothing but walked around the chair. I stood up and he pulled me into a long hug.

He stroked my hair gently and pressed his face into my shoulder.  I let him hold me and closed my eyes.

"Are you sure about this elsa?" he asked me.  I sniffled and looked up at him.  He whiped the tears I didn't know I had.

"Yes" I told him.  I gently rubbed the tears from my eyes not wanting to smudge the make up I was wearing.

Jack gave me an odd look "Elsa of you were sure about it you wouldn't be crying.  Every choice you make should be made because you want it to be,  not because someone is forcing your hand.  Literally in this case."

I shrugged and pulled back from Jack.  I decided to avoid what he just said and locked my arm with his.

"Let's go we have a ball to attend" I told him.

Hans walked to the front of the ball room with a glass of wine. I felt my stomach churn as I chugged my sixth glass of wine.

I motioned for annother drink but when the maid handed it to me he took it from me and gave it back to the maid.

I pouted "I've been drinking wine since I was little, it has no effect on me. A queen doesn't get drunk." I told him.

He snorted "the way you were going at it you would of been on the floor by the time he even got a single word his retched mouth."

I huffed but said nothing. I watched as hans gave the kingdom a charming smile.

"Now I have a wonderful announcement." he spoke loud and clear before looking at me.

"The queen Elsa will be joining me for this announcement. Elsa if you please? " he said sweetly.  All eyes turned on me.  I turned to Jack and unlaced our arms.  I planted a kiss on his cheek and walked to Hans's side. 

I leaned over to Hans and smiled at my kingdom.  "Hans if you ever call me anything but queen again I'll destroy you like a blizzard and freeze over everything you value." I waved at my people as I whispered to Hans.

Hans's eyes widened and he coughed. I smiled at the fear I saw in his eyes.  I liked that I had some sort of reaction.

I frowned,  what has Hans turned me into? I refuse to stoop to his level.

"I'm sorry" I whispered to him. He said nothing but raised his glass.

I chewed my lip and closed my eyes tightly.  Could I really allow him to announce this to the whole kingdom. 

I fought back tears as he smiled at the crowd.  "I'd like to announce the engagement of me and queen Elsa of arendelle." he said in a loud booming goiter that was as soft as silk. 

All around the room people gasped and started to mumble to themselves. 

"Queen Elsa engaged?!"

"Were going to have a king after all mommy" a small boy said as he grabbed his mother's skirts.

I looked to Anna who clapped happily and giggled like a small girl. 

My eyes flickered to Jack who's grip tightened on the wine glass.  It shattered beneath his fingertips. the glass shards fell into the floor and bit into the skin of his fingers. 

I closed my eyes tightly as hands grabbed me roughly by the arm and pulled me into a public embrace. 

I stood there quietly before pushing him off and looking to where my love was standing just moments before.  He was gone. 

I saw the blood on the floor and ran off the stage. People looked at me in worry but I kept running.  I knew where he would be.  And I was going to find him.

Sorry I've been so busy with school and work that I've been too tired to write.  I honestly am so sorry.
