Chapter 9: The Waiting Game/Brother to Brother

Elsa

          I keep walking back and forth waiting for the doctor to tell me what happened to Jack. After Kristoff broke my door and took us to the hospital, I couldn’t stop pacing. “Elsa you need to try and sit and relax.” Anna says but I just keep going. “I can’t… I can’t just sit here and do… nothing.” I say and I finally stop in front of her, we’re all look awful. Anna and I are in our nightgowns with our robes coving us while Kristoff is in some sweats and is wearing a hoodie.

          “I don’t understand what happened…” I say as I sink into a chair. “Well when we heard him scream, we didn’t know what to do. Why do you lock your door?” Kristoff says and looks at me.  I laugh and lend back, “I always lock my door, it’s to keep people out, to keep me in.” I look at my hands to see ice starting to form, Anna notice it too and grab my hands, “Elsa… You have to control your emotions, you worrying about Jack… You’ll explode and ice will be everywhere. We don’t want now do we?”

          I laugh as I see the ice start to go away; I let out a breath, what was wrong with me? “Elsa, why was Jack in your room?” Anna asks and I feel my eyes widen. “Umm, to protect me?” She gives me this look. “Really? You’re going to lie to your sister who is in the hospital at 3 in the morning waiting for you bodyguard to come out?” I shrug my shoulders. “Elsa, tell me the truth, now.” I sigh, “Fine… Anna. I lo…” “Princess Elsa.” I hear to see the doctor walking out to see us.

          I stand up and walk to him fast, “Is Jack okay?” I ask. The doctor nods, “His just fine.” I see Anna and Kristoff join me, “What happened to him?” I hear the doctor sigh, “To tell you the truth, I have no idea. It’s like his heart started to beat for the first time.” I place my hand over my heart, I… I love you. He said to me before he fell… I feel like my heart is frozen, that I don’t have a heart. When did he say that to me? I know I heard him say it to me once before.

          “Can I go see him?” I ask I can’t wait any longer. The doctor nods, “Yes of course. But only one at a time, his very weak.” I look at Anna and Kristoff, “Go it’s okay. We’ll be right here.” Anna says and grabs Kristoff’s hand. I nod and follow the doctor to Jack’s room.

          “Take as much time as you need.” I hear the doctor say as I go into Jack’s room to see him asleep. I hear the door closes as I cover my mouth to stop myself from crying. I grab his hand and pull a chair close, “Oh Jack… I don’t know what happened. I’m so sorry.” I say and start to cry into his chest. Then I felt someone grab my hand and squeeze it tight. I look up to see Jack smiling at me, “Ah pet, worried about your love?” Pet? Only one person calls me that.

          I look at his eyes and see pure red, I feel my eyes widen as I try and pull my hand away but he won’t let go. “Let go of me!” I yell but he just grabs my hand tighter. I stand and hear the chair fall behind me as I try and pull again. “Now now my little pet, we’ll make this fast.” He says and starts to make that frost form his hand again. No… No this can’t be happening. I see him about to throw it at me when I see the white frost become yellow as he throws it at me. I feel the sand hit me but I don’t remember much after that, I fell and everything went black.
