Jack

I step away from the girl, hands raised as the three crew members talk. One of them leaves while the two of them stay. One puts me in handcuffs as the other gets a blanket for the woman. Soon, the third crew member returns with a group of men, the same red haired man in the lead. He marches over to me and glares at me.

"How dare you lay your hands on my fiancé," he says angrily. I remain still and not saying anything. The man gets annoyed and grabs my shirt and lifts me up a bit.

"Hans!" The woman says, standing up and walking over to us, "Hans! Enough!" The man looks over at her and softens and lets me down, "you got it all wrong. I was leaning far over the railing, wanting to see the propellers, when I slipped. Mr.." She looks over at me, not knowing my name.

"Frost," I say, "Jack Frost," she nods and returns to her 'story'.

"When Mr. Frost here grabbed my hand before I fell into the water. He then pulled me back over the railing," she finishes and looks around. Soon a chubby man speaks up.

"Well," he says, "the boys a hero! Give him a reward!" Hans looks at him.

"Yes, I assume he is, Pete," Hans says before wrapping his arm around the woman, "thank you for saving Elsa, Mr. Frost," Hans looks over at a tall man with a weird beard on his chin, "Jafar, a twenty should be good," the man nods and pulls out his wallet as Hans begins to walk away, pulling Elsa with him. She stops and stares at him.

"Is that the going rate for saving the woman you love?" She asks him, looking back at me before returning her gaze to Hans. He sighs and turns back to me.

"I hereby invite you to have dinner with us tomorrow evening," he says with a fake smile.

"I'll be there," I say and he nods before walking off with Elsa beside him. Everyone begins to leave, the Jafar guy leaving last. I see him pull out a pack of cigars and whistle. He looks over at me and I nod towards his hand.

"Can I have a smoke?" I ask him and he tosses me the pack. I take out two, putting one behind my ear and lighting the other. I blow the smoke out before tossing the pack back to him. He walks a bit closer.

"It's funny," he says, no emotion in his voice as he stares at me, "the lady slipped so suddenly you still had time to take off your shoes," with that, he walks off, leaving me on the deck, alone.

"My mother died when I was younger, leaving me and my younger sister, Emma, to fend for ourselves. Emma went to a local orphanage while I lived on my own for years before traveling to Europe. An now, I am here," I tell Elsa, who has found me and wanted to talk. We are currently walking down the rich side of the ship, "so enough talking about me and how the day is, what about you?" She smiles and blushes a bit.

"Well, I come from a once rich family, until my father left us with all our money," she says, "my mother raised my sister Anna and I to be disciplined and elegant. But only I became the poise and elegant girl my mother wanted. Anna is the clumsy, excited, Chatty Cathy of our family. So, now I am marrying Hans to get my family out of debt," we stop by the railing and I look at her.

"Do you love him?" I ask her. She looks up at me, suprised.

"Excuse me?" She asks, her voice sounded offended.

"Do you love Hans?" I ask again. She blinks.

"Of course I do!" She exclaims, getting angrier by the second while I remain calm, "what kind of woman will marry a man she doesn't love?" I laugh as she gets irritated more and more, "I found you to thank you for saving my life, which I just did," she shakes my hand firmly, "so I suggest you should leave," I laugh as she rolls her eyes, "never mind, I'll leave," she turns around and begins walking away when she stops and walks back, "you know what? This is my side of the ship, you leave," she puts one of her hands on her hips and uses the other to point to the other end. I laugh.
