The Moon Told Me

VIII: Jack

The sun was barely peaking out, but it still caught my attention. Stretching I climbed out of bed throwing the blankets that had fallen back onto the bed. Making the bed wasn't for me nor did I actually know how to. I threw my blue hoodie over my head and placed the hood over my snow white hair making it unnoticeable.

My staff was leaning against the wall close to the window that I entered last night. It was faintly glowing a blue tint.  Out the window the sun was slightly peaking over the mountains in the far east and the village below was still sleeping. I unlocked the window taking some large steps backwards, I sprinted towards the open window and jumped. The rush of wind around me running through my hair as it blew off my hood was intoxicating. Before I could hit the ground with a splat I called on the winds to carry me into the clouds.

By now the sun was over the mountains and the reds and pinks of the morning sky played across the clouds. It was one of the best parts of the job, the feeling of being free and hearing the laughter in the children.

My morning flight was cut short by a dim light coming from one of the castle windows. Anna's room was dimly lit, but it seemed bright compared to the small amount of light from the sun. In side Anna was sitting at a little desk. She had her red hair tied back and a simple white dress on. She was sitting at a desk with her head bent over a script of paper with an ink bottle to the left of her. She must have fallen asleep writing.

The window closest to her was open and my mind was telling me to open it. Taking a vigilant step forward making sure not to wake her up, I walked over to her. Picking her up bridle style I placed her on the bed on th far wall of the room. Her room was the exact opposite of Elsa's. She had warm colors to signature her room. She curled into a pillow laying next to her and sighed. She had a curious look on her face, I wondered what she was dreaming about.

Before my mind noticed what my legs were doing I walked over to her desk and peered at what she was writing. It looked like a letter to Elsa that wasn't fully finished.

Dear Elsa,

My beloved sister I don't want to drop this on you especially after mom and dad, but you need to know. I don't want to hurt you and I don't want to disappoint dad and mom, so I'm leaving. Just for a little while whilst I figure this out. I'm not the same Anna that I was when we would play together. I've grown and now I need to find my own way. I'll come back to visit in the winter when I'm less powerful, but I can't stay.

I have a secret that I've kept from you for a long time. I'm not like you. I could really hurt people and I just couldn't live with myself if I did. You are the most vulnerable and to see you get hurt would hurt me the most. By the time you read this I will be long gone and you will know my secret.

I guess it was easier to keep it because you would always stay in your room and never let anyone in besides mom and dad. I found out about my crazy power about a year after you started to shut me out. I thought that it was the coolist thing ever and I wanted yo to know, but mom and dad told me not to say. Then they died and I have held it it since then, for them. They always said that my gift could really hurt you and I didn't what that.

You are probably reading this and thinking Anna get to the point and tell me what your power is already. And I will.

The note ended there and I had to read over it twice to understand it. Could she be like me, like us? I thought about this as I jumped out of her bedroom and into the warm air. It was getting close to the time that everyone would start getting up and getting ready.

My room was a mess from this morning with the blankets scattered all over the ground. my bag was in the corner of the room by the door looking like a lonely child. Shouldering it I checked my hair. It looked wind swept as normal.
