" why didn't you want them to know we were being chased?" I ask Jack. I came to his room seeking answers so thats what im going to get.

" its not important" he replies vaguely.

" if you expect me to go along with this lie I have to know why I'm doing it" I protest.

" okay okay, fair enough look, there's this guy named peter and that was him. He's been an enemy for the family for generations, threatening to kill, planning plots to take us for all we're worth. Obviously we've been able to defeat him. Like your aunt, we thought he had gone but he turned up at our house saying that he... that he had better fish to fry" he stops, looking away, picking at a loose thread on his jumper.

" what does he mean by that?" I prompt.

" I think he meant you"

Cue cliffhanger.

" what? Me? Why do you think that?"

" because there isn't anyone else as important as you. All the more, he definitely wasn't in the forest for me" why is everyone after me? Why am I so special? I dont get it.

" why am I so special?" I whisper.

" I don't know, thats what I'm trying to figure out" there's a short silence as we look into each others eyes but then I remember why I came.

" but why dont you want to tell the others?"

" it will only cause fear and fear is our enemy"

" now tell us... slowly what happened" Nicholas interrogates. We sit on the sofa with the others surrounding us, confining us to the seat. Me and Jack take in turns telling an alternate start, I don't like lying to them. It feels wrong and as if I'm betraying them but Jacks right, fear is our enemy.

" next time you go out you make sure you have your phones, this is not to happen again okay?" Nicholas says sternly, we nod our heads sheepishly but he just raises his eyebrow higher.

" okay" we sigh simutanueously.  He stares at us a little longer then walks off. Soon enough they have all left apart from Anna and Emma.

" what?" I ask. They still stand in front of us with their arms crossed.

" we don't believe you" Anna smirks.

" well why not?" Jack stands up challenging them.

" because we know you love each other, so it seems very suspicious that you just both happen to get 'lost'" Annas smirk grows wider if that is even possible, she stands on her tiptoes challenging him back.

" well we just told you the truth, so your deluding yourself" Jack says before walking off not giving a second glance at me. He's angry, again. He's been reminded that I haven't told him I love him back, I tried to tell him but once again something stopped me, this is ridiculous. 

" what did you say that for?" I ask, standing up.

" well I thought you took him out to tell him well you know" Anna says awkwardly looking down at the floor.

" yeah well I didn't because once again we got interrupted" I angrily ramble.

" by what?" Emma chimes in. Shit. Fucked up once again, I need to think of an excuse. Think Elsa think.

" Elsa, tell us the truth" Anna says now curious. Hurry up, what can I say? I hate being put on the spot.

" ummmm because emm we bumped into Rapunzel. Yeah."

" then why did you and Jack get lost alone?"

" she umm went home before we raced" Emma and Anna look at each other.

" well we need to tell him that you do love him" Anna eventually says.

" we?" I ask, raising my eyebrows. 

" we're not gonna let you sort something romantic yourself, your useless at it" Anna says as if it were obvious. 

" okay there's two things wrong with that one: I'm not doing anything romantic because me and Jack just aren't those type of people and two: I'm not useless at it, I just dont...show my romantic side" I protest. 

" suit yourself" Anna says waving her hand and leaving. 

" you know, you should just go and tell him now. Like right now, he doesn't care if it's a magical moment or whatever, he just wants to know you love him too" Emma looks me straight in the eye. " right now" she demands.

"B-but umm I..." I start to say.

" no excuses it's time you tell him" she pushes me out of the door but I try to resist. I don't know why, this errie anxeity that hold me back from everything. " Elsa, he loves you. Nothing bad will happen" she reassures.  She's right, well kind off. I've got to stop letting my anxeity stop me from living, stop me from being who I am.

" Emma, aren't we ummm like step-siblings?"

" I just told Thomas that so we didn't seem so umm weird I guess" she passes now pushing me up the stairs. We reach the top and she's pushing me closer to his door. His door I've knocked on almost ever night. " anyway, you'll be my sister in law soon" she says before pushing me into his room. He looks up at me bewildered,  his eyes hollow, like his emotion has just been erased. This is it, I'm finally going to tell him.

Heyy guys, right so I was thinking I might end the book in the next chapter and start a sequel which will be about going to Gottfried academy, or should I just carry on writing in this. (The next chapter will be super short so yeah) Also, i think I'll change the name of this book to 'a not so typical love story(jelsa)' seen as it's not reallu typical lol
