The Moons Mission /Jack Frost and Elsa Modern AU

Chapter 18

Sunday night

I hear a knock on the door.
I walk towards it, nervous. I run my fingers through my hair. Does it look good? Just open the door, Jack.
"Good evening." There she is. Elsa is standing in front of me. With a big jacket on. Ridiculously cute.
"Good evening, I'm so glad you came. What did you tell your aunt?"
"She.. She actually doesn't know. I feel really bad for her but I know she would've never let me go if I told her. I just snuck out, she normally sleeps at this time already but I'll have to be really careful when I come back."
"Thank you for coming here Elsa. You must trust me a lot to be doing this and I'm sorry you had to."

"Don't worry. Now, can I discover why exactly you want me to be here?"
"Of course. It's almost midnight, come with me." I tell her and take her hand. We go to the tree hand in hand. I start climbing up and look down at her. "I hope you can climb." I say as I look down at her smiling mischievously
"You bet." She tells me as she climbs up beside me.
I look at her in surprise.
"I had climbing classes not too long ago. My aunt insisted I try every kind of sport for some time so I could know which one I like the most. It was a pretty good idea."
"Yeah." I tell her, impressed.
We carry on climbing up until we reached the branch usually sit on.
"Ok, come here." I tell her. She holds onto my shoulder to sit beside me.

I look at her, her eyes are shining in the moonlight.
"It's beautiful. The moon. The night sky."
She says looking up to the sky.
"And you." I tell her.
She turns to face me.
Then she runs a hand through my hair.
"You too." We both smile.
"Ready to find out?" She nods.
"Ok." She believed me on the first step.. Now she just needs to believe me when I tell her about man in moon, which has to make her believe in him too. This has to work.

I take her hand and look at the moon.
"You asked me about my family once, remember? Well, I couldn't tell you about it because.. I am no regular human. I don't have a family here. I got sent here by the man in moon. For a mission."
I look at her, a little scared but hopeful.
"Okay.. You're.. no human.. at least not originally.. but what are you then?"
"I.. I don't know. I don't remember what happened before I got here."
"How do you know the man in moon sent you here? Don't worry, I believe you but I want to understand. Why you're here."

"He.. he told me. He really did. He was the first person I met. The first thing I remember is that I woke up here in front of my house, the moon shining bright. Then I heard a voice. At first I didn't understand where it was coming from, but when I turned to the moon it felt like it had to be it. Then that voice introduced themselves as man in the moon. He cares for me. He told me he gave me this house and money. He helped me get used to a humans life. He even helped me to get into school, without the school asking about my family. And he gave me mind reading abilities. For my mission. I'm sorry if you think im crazy now but that's what happened. It really is."

She stares at me. In disbelief? No.. In amazement.
"You're not crazy. I believe you. Even though it seems weird I believe you.. Because I feel like it has to be true. Because I know you would never lie to me."
I feel my eyes tearing up. She completely trusts me. This is.. too good to be true.. just like her.
Elsa looks at me.
"Jack, what's going on? Is everything alright?"
"Yes! Elsa I just can't believe that I found you! That you believe in me. You trust me no matter what. How are you this.. wonderful."

She pulls me into a tight hug.
"You're going to make me cry too, you know.. You're wonderful too."
I drive one of my hands through the hair on her back from her ponytail, it's soft.
After some time she asks
"So what about the mission? And.. do you think I could meet the man in moon too? Or talk to him?"
..Right I have to complete that step.. She has to be able to talk with him.
We both slowly pull apart.

First I'll tell her about my mission.
"The man in moon sent me here to find a person. Someone with the purest heart, kind and longing for peace like no one else. Someone who's different than everybody else. But in a good way."
She remains silent for a moment. Then she asks "That seems to be a very hard task.. there are so many people on this world. Have you found the person yet? I would love to meet them."

I laugh. She looks at me surprised and clueless. "What? Is it something I said?" I can't stop myself from laughing.
"Jack?" She looks at me, a little worried now, too. Finally I pull myself together. I just couldn't hold all the happiness inside of me back..
"Sorry, it's nothing you said. It's just.. you are the person I've been looking for, Elsa. You have the purest heart I've ever seen, you're extraordinary, kind, peaceful.. and so much more."
"Me?.. You think I have the purest heart?" She looks at me amazed and in surprise.
I nod. Staring at her. She smiles looking at the moon.

"I.. don't know if that's true.. but I'd be very glad if I helped you on your mission."
I take her hands in mine. "I know it's you. From the day I met you you already made an impression on me. Like you're special. Then I read your mind. The man in moon actually gave me that ability for the mission. Because the person with the purest heart also has to have pure thoughts. And when I read your mind.. I only saw good, peaceful thoughts. Unlike it had been with other people whose minds I read before.
And then in the park. When our hands touched. And even still right now.."
I look at our hands. "There's that connection. You told me you feel it too."

She nods, smiling at me. I see tears starting to form in her eyes.
"It's you Elsa. I'm sure of it."
"It would be an honour if it really is. So, what are we supposed to do now?"
The man in moon. He'll tell us what she has to do. But first.. She has to talk to him. To truly believe in him.
"Elsa, I'd like you to meet the man in the moon. At least talk to him. He will tell you what to do."

She looks at me in surprise. Then she looks at the man in moon.
"You just have to.. believe that he's there. I know you can."
She closes her eyes for a short time and I feel the connection from our hands grow stronger. Then she opens her eyes and looks at the moon.
"I believe in Jack. That's why I believe in you, man in moon. I would love to talk to you."
