Winter Love

Chapter 6 - Surprise!

Elsa's P.O.V

I struggled to keep my heavy eyelids open, I sent the last of the invites to Anna's birthday yesterday. I invited the whole kingdom of Arendelle and the King and Queen of the Southern Isles.

I hope Anna gets a huge surprise! Even if it failed I am still happy that I tried to put together my first birthday party.

So many letters! All I can think about is the amount of work I have to do and to set up the ballroom for tomorrow. It's is around about 11pm, the moon is covered with thin clouds and little snowflakes are falling onto the window sill.

My hand is aching along with my eyes. The large library doors swung open, I dropped my pen and moved out of my chair. "Oh I thought you were Anna" I sighed in relief as I sat back down.

"No it's just me." Jack came round and hugged me from behind, I felt a shiver go down my spine.

"I have so much to do, I don't know where to start and-" Jack cut me off and said "you were working this morning too and it has been a big day, maybe just relax for a while."

I did what Jack suggested and grabbed a book by the title of 'Sleeping Beauty'. I stood next to one of the bookcases, leaned my head against the wall and slid down.

I opened the book to 'Chapter One'. Jack sat down next to me. Should I tell him that I have feelings for him?

Jack's P.O.V

I sat down next to Elsa. She was reading 'Sleeping Beauty' she said it was her all time favourite. Her eyes soon fluttered shut. Her head was lying on my shoulder, which I soon realised.

Her head dug deeper into the crook of my neck, I took the book, trying not to wake her. I placed the old book on the floor next to me.

I rolled my head back so that it was leaning against the wall.

Elsa was breathing heavily, she had a really restless sleep. You could hear the shuffling of her feet on the navy blue carpet. She soon calmed down and relaxed, she was having a nightmare.

I looked at the Old Grandfather Clock leaning against the wall. Both hands were at the same place: it was 12am. I planted a light kiss on Elsa's forehead and I soon fell asleep myself.

Not dreaming about anything but waiting for a reply from the Man In The Moon. Even so, I only asked 3 days ago. How long does it take?

Anna's P.O.V

I knew that Elsa was in the library, I went up to check on her. I couldn't sleep. I peeked my head through the door, I couldn't see her.

I went further into the library, stopping in my tracks when I saw her leaning on Jack, she was sleeping and so was he. "Wow she must have been busy" I mumbled to myself.

I glanced at the clock, it read 12:10am. "Happy Birthday to me" I sang. I picked up the book that was beside Jack, tiptoed around to the isle that said 'fairytales' on it and skimmed the shelves to find 'S'.

I silently jogged back out of the library, giggling on my way out. "They're so cute" I said over my giggles.

I crept back to my room, it was exactly as I left it a few minutes ago. The sheets and quilt are all screwed up on my bed and my violet curtains that wrinkled up at the edges, the air was cool and crisp.

I slipped into my queen size bed and rolled onto my side. My eyes fluttered shut and i was dreaming about my birthday, "i want this one to be special." i mumble in my sleep.

The morning came within a few minutes of me hitting my head on my pillow. My eyes suddenly oopened, I didn't blink them like I usually do I was to excited to waste no more than a few seconds, I was still adjusting to the morning sun that peeped through my velvet curtains. I kicked my covers off and stared at the clock on my wall, its Roman numeral numbers show: 7:45.
