I look at the contents of the box, an envelope lies on top. I take it out and open it, taking out a piece of blue tinted paper. There was another inside, a tinted orange paper. I open the orange one.

Dear Anna,

I open the blue one and at the top it reads dear Elsa. I run to Anna's door and frantically knock on it. When she opens the door I grab her hand and bring her to my room.

" what is it Elsa?" She asks sleepily.

" I well jack found this box when we were sorting through my things and I've just found the key to it. It's our mothers box and this was in it" I thrust the orange tinted paper into her hand and she reads it intently and I read mine.

Dear Elsa,
My sweet child Elsa. By the time you are reading this, me and your father will be long gone. This box is full of possesions I want you to use throughout your lifetime and special times. There are two sets of objects, the left side for Anna and the right side is for you.
1: my first object is two necklaces.  Ying and yang. These are the necklaces me and you father wore. With this, I want you to give one of them to the one who holds your heart. 

I look at Anna who's delving into the box presumably looking for the object written in her letter. I look in my side of the box and pull out two dainty necklaces. They look expensive and precious. Beautifully perfect. I set them carefully next to the box and continue reading the letter.

2: my next object to you are the earrings I wore for my own prom. I want you to wear these for your prom.

Tears start to form in my eyes. I look in the box for the earrings. Small but dainty earrings that hang down. They look like droplets, filled with blue sapphires. They look expensive. It's too bad that I'm never going to attend a prom. I haven't even chosen a new school yet and I'm definitely not going to a prom at whatever school I'm going to, if I ever do.

3: my third and final object to you is our wedding rings. These are the rings I want you to wear when you get married.

I get the two objects from the box, two rings. A simple gold band thats worn and tattered from many years of wearing it which I presume was my father's. The second ring was smaller. A band with small jewels encrusted into it. On the inside of both a message was engraved. One word on each.

'Forever' on one and 'always' on the other.

I never wanted to get married, but seeing these, being given these, it's changed my viewpoint.  One day, I do want to get married and maybe even have children. 

There is also a necklace in which i want you to give Anna on her 18th birthday.

The necklace is a simple chain with a floating heart pendant. Dainty and beautiful.

These objects are there to show I am always with you, and your father. We are always by your side forever.  We love you dearly. Be strong.

The tears slowly trickle down my face. I hold the note to my heart. I miss them. I would give anything just to hear their voices.  My father voice. His touch as he holds my hands. They tried, they tried so hard to help me with my curse. They were too young to leave the world, we were too young to lose them. The world is empty without them, what's the point in trying if I'm just going to lose everything I love anyway?

" Elsa, its okay. We're going to be okay, I promise" Anna takes my hand in hers and looks Into my eyes. " I promise that we will be okay" she whispers. Another tear streams down my face and she pulls me into a hug.

" I miss them Anna" I cry.

" I know. I do too but it's time to move on. That's in the past now, we have to let it go and live our lives like they will want us to" she pulls me into a hug. " me and you can do this. We can get through this together"

I lie in bed looking up at the ceiling. I can't sleep, memories are circling my head and when I close me eyes, all I can see is my parents smiling at me. My mothers chesnut hair twisted into a bun and her chocolatey eyes. My fathers blonde hair and his mustache that always made me chuckle. I miss them dearly but Anna's right. It's time to move on. I won't ever forget them but I've got to stop feeling pain of losing them, I could be in a worse situation. Everything can always be worse.

I get out of bed and go downstairs to pour a glass of water. As I slowly drink it, I stare into the blackness of the night but there's something or rather someone there. I can see a pale face, looking intently at me, her eyes searching my soul. I blink harshly, skeptical that my aunt is standing outside our kitchen window. When I look again, she's gone. Nothing but blackness. I think I'm going insane.

In panic, I toss the glass in the sink and race up the stairs but instead of going back to my room I knock softly on Jacks door.

" Jack? Are you awake?" I whisper. I hear heavy footsteps come to the door and it opens revealing a sleepy Jack with his hair sticking out in unusual ways.

" what's up Elsa?" He asks, yawning.

" I didnt wake you did I?" He shakes his head and yawns again. " Jack I think I'm going insane, I swear I just saw my aunt outside the kitchen window" I cry, tears welling up again. I can't stand the thought of the fact I'm going crazy.

" what!?" Jack whispers loudly, his eyes now wide and alert.

" I-I thought I saw my aunt but when I blinked she was gone. What actually happened to her? Please dont tell me I'm going mad" I plead. He ushers me inside and I sit on his bed with my back against the wall.

" your aunt well, we tracked her down to get your bracelet. We found  that  she was in her summer house in California. Me, Brian, Nicholas, sandy and Anna because she insisted she came as she's your sister went to fight her to get it back and we did but when we left her, she wasn't in a great state. Brian stayed with her and called an ambulance but the rest of us came back. It turns out that your aunt had a emergency contact in California so Brian was able to come back with us and we went to the hospital to give your bracelet back. We dont know if she survived or not but we presumed she didn't.  It seems like she's still alive. Elsa you have to be careful, she's going to try and kill you" he says, his eyes becoming glassy.  It takes a few minutes for me to process all this new information. This has answered so many of the questions I've been asking. It's also a relief that I'm not going insane.

" what if I move away? To like a boarding school?" I mutter mostly to myself.

" what?"

" well if i move away I'll be far from here and she won't be able to find me. If she does, I'll be protected by the school. Plus, I need to attend school at some point. Wouldn't that just be a perfect solution? "

" I-I guess. But if you do go to a boarding school, I'm coming with you. I can't stand the idea of losing you again" he says sorrowfully.

" why?"

" because your my bestest friend in the entire world and you mean everything to me" he says nudging my shoulder. I smile sweetly at him. " but as much as I love you being here we should get some sleep." I nod my head and give him a hug.

" thank youJack" I whisper.

" what for?"

" everything."
