Melt for me

Thirty one

                                  **Jack**

The wind howls in between the tree tops, sounding more like a demon then just wind. Leaves rustle and blow in the wind, whispering secretes to each other; secretes that I have no intention of knowing or caring about. The moon shines in the sky but soon is covered in thick black clouds; they hang ominously over head, making the night sky look evil and  dark.

My mind lazily tries to understand it but its like a thick fog clouds my thoughts. The name Pitch echoes in my mind but soon his name is replaced with the image of Elsa. Although my inner voice tells me its a bad idea that I must concentrate on Pitch, that something is not right. But soon the inner voice is blocked out with thoughts of Elsa.

She looked... perfect tonight. The way her hair glimmered in the moonlight, her eyes were blue sapphires; they pulled me in and made me hang onto every word she spoke. That wasn't her blue eyes though... its just the way Elsa is.  The way she pulls you in, with her laugh and smile. The way she talks and frowns.

Everything about her is perfection. Even when she is yelling at me.

When that necklace lit up (as well as Elsa's face), it made me smile. Because she loves me and I love her back.  I wanted to prove to her how much I love her, she holds me to the earth. A tiny string that connects us together, sometimes that string wavers but it will never, ever break.

Were already too intertwined for us to break off from one another. Are emotions and heart break... it makes us one. I know what its like to be alone, Elsa does as well. But we don't have to be alone, I will make sure Elsa is never alone again.

I know... that I hurt her. Making her choose between Anna, her kingdom and me. But I can't bear to watch her dying bit by bit, eroding away until she caves into herself. Becoming nothing but a shell of her once self.

I rather die then let that happen to her.

I exhale, trying to let all of my worries go. What if Elsa doesn't come?  I mean come on, ruling a kingdom or be with Jack Frost? I know I saw the necklace glow blue but... I can't help but doubt myself.

Branches snap behind me. My staff is instantly in my hands, aimed at the treeline. "Elsa?" I voice says, steady and not afraid at all.  My heart speeds up, Elsa would have answered me by now. Who is it or rather what is it?  "Come out now!" I command.

Tooth comes flying out, her hands in the air. "Whoa Jack calm down, its just me." I lower my staff, shocked at Tooth being here. "Tooth?" She giggles as she flies around me, her wings barely making a buzzing sound. "Oh Jack its been too long!" She says, giving me a warm hug.  As always when Tooth hugs me,  I awkwardly stand there until she lets go.  "Wait a second I'm mad at you! Where have you been? We've been looking every for you." We?  "Why were you guys looking for me?" I ask, confused as of why the guardians would be looking for me.

Tooth's warm smile turns dark; "Pitch is back."  I eyes blink, the fog in my brain lifting for a few seconds. "Yes.. I sent you a letter. Did-did you get it?" Tooth nods. "Yes but its not here that we need to worry about. The children of the world are in danger and if we don't do something.."  Tooth shakes that thought from her head.

She grabs my hand. "Jack we need to leave, now." Tooth starts pulling me up, trying to get me to fly up with her. I yank my hand back. "No, I can't leave. I'm meeting someone."  Tooth's eyes widen. "Meeting someone? Who?" I smile. "Her name is Elsa and she is so... she is so amazing. Oh Tooth I know you'll love her and North, Bun Bun, Sandy... We can all be one family!"

Tooth shakes her head. "Elsa is mortal isn't she." She doesn't ask it but states it like its a fact. "Well yeah she is but-" "Jack do you have any idea how dangerous that is? Bringing a mortal in our lives? You can't do that."  I glare a Tooth, not liking where this conversation is heading. "Are you saying that I can never love a mortal."

Tooth's purple eyes turn an odd shade of yellow, yellow filled with hate and malice. But as soon as I see it, its gone. "That," Tooth says patience completely out of her voice. "Is exactly what I'm saying."  Anger takes a hole of me. How can Tooth just walk in her and tell me who I can love? What right does she think she has?

"Jack.. Please understand its for the best. Mortals don't live as long as we do. Elsa would die, leaving you alone and broken. You would watch her die bit by bit everyday. Watching as she grows older, watching the light fade from her eyes. Elsa would never have children or get married, because of you. It isn't fair to Elsa and it certainly isn't fair to you." 

My stomach churns, trying not to take in the true words. "Its dangerous to love a mortal Jack, its dangerous to love at all."  I would watch Elsa... die? My heart speeds up. I wouldn't be able to handle that. I would wreak her life... her kingdom. Everything she loves, just because I'm selfish and need her more then she needs me.

Elsa can have a life without me.... but can I have a life without Elsa?

Tooth puts a hand on my shoulder, bearing her... golden(???) eyes into mine. "You don't need Elsa." She purrs. "Its for the best."  "I don't need Elsa. Its for the best," I say automatically  Tooth is right.. Elsa is better off without me.

I shake my head what am I thinking? No, I love Elsa. I wouldn't leave her for anything. "No Jack. Don't fight it. Don't fight it." Tooth's voice echo's in my mind, like a nightmare. I shake my head, trying to get her voice out of my head.

I don't even see her leave.  'You can't love a mortal. You'll wreak her life." 

I open and close my eyes. Seeing everything in a new light. The wind howls through the trees, wordlessly. The moon is covered by thick dark clouds. "So beautiful.." I mutter as I look up to the sky. My mind filled with hate and destruction.
