Prologue Part II: The Help
"So your sister hasn't know that you go here?"
"Yes, she doesn't know and I want to keep it that way."
Elsa has talk about herself along the way to explain herself to this Jack Frost. "Why would I talk this to him?" as she asked herself. It's unusual for her to speak personal about herself to stranger.
"Well sooner or later she will find out that you are gone" Jack interrupted Elsa's mind. Elsa changed the topic by directing them into the bright side of the forest, "This way, their trails goes that way."
"You seem to know how to handle yourself in this dense snowy forest."
Elsa rolled her eyes, "Of course I can. You know that I can produce snow myself."
Jack raised his eyebrows, "Now about that ice thing you do," Jack closer his distance to Elsa, "How did you do it?"
"I don't know." Elsa looks around to find a clue about where the thugs gone, "I have it since I was a child that's for sure."
"That's cool."
"Does the term cool also includes not able to control it?"
Jack winced his eyes, "You mean you can't control it?"
"I can control it but—," Elsa stopped and stared at her left hand, "At some point I fear that it will lose control again."
Jack looked at her hands then her eyes, he felt fear when he saw them. Elsa realized Jack's attitude and turn her face away from him. "Will you please stop that? And besides why do I even tell all of this to you?"
Jack laughed for a moment, "It's okay, everybody needs someone to talk to, and personally I would love to have that kind of power."
"That's what everyone said about it." She said with a sad voice.
Felt a sudden change of mood, Jack continues their walk. "You know, when I woke up at that shore, I know two or three things about myself and what I can do. And yet I don't know how I stranded there." He stopped his walk. "I don't even know if I ever had a friend, or even talk to anyone."
Elsa turns her head to him and started walking closer to him, "Have you got a slight of glimpse? Or anything that can makes you remember about what happened to you?"
"Nothing. Not even a slight of glimpse after I woke up. I can't remember anything."
Elsa can't think for a moment, then she look at his eyes, long enough to make he realized that he had been stared. "What?" he asked.
"You're not lying." stated Elsa. "I can look at someone's eyes and I could tell them if they are lying or not, and I know that you weren't lying."
"Of course I'm not" he fumed, "If I could remember anything, I would told you that and I will not lying."
Elsa tilted her head sideways, "Point taken." She then look puzzling for a moment, "But you told me that you remember something that you could do. And what's that?"
Jack shrugged for a moment, "Well for starter, I know how to fight like I've been made for it." He laughed for a moment and then look at Elsa's bored face, "What? It's okay to brag for once."
Elsa rolled her eyes. Jack laughed a bit when she did that, "and second it may sound weird, but I could do something that you can d—" he stopped when he heard a sound of fallen woods. "What's that?" Elsa shocked and turned her attention to the direction where the sound originated.
"I think they tripped off really hard, we should go there." Jack started to walk faster into the suspected point where those thugs gone. "Your necklace mustn't have gone far."
When they arrived at the suspected place, they saw the leftovers of branches in the ground, along with ropes around it.
"What's that for?" Elsa asked Jack
Jack scanned the leftovers, "I think this was used to set a trap for animals, and maybe they accidentally set off the trap"
"Then why they are not here?"
Jack look to the top where the branches originated, "I think this was intended to trap a small animals, not some goon that weights kilograms. People with that lots of weight can't hang in that small branches."
Elsa raised her eyebrows, surprised that Jack knows much about this, "You seem to know about all of this."
Jack brushed his hair, "Yeah like I told you earlier. I remember some stuff and yet I don't know how I got battened down."
"Aside from that, what else do you remember? You said two or three things, and what's the other?"
"Well, I remember how to walk, swim, and eat."
Elsa is not amused by his statement, and gave Jack her boring look. Jack only laughed watching her doing that. "Well, there's one major thing that I remember I could do that I want to talk about that earlier."
"And what's that?"
Suddenly they heard a rumbling sound behind them, and when they look to it, they saw two similar faces.
"Stop right there!" J yells at them, while holding his cousin in his waist.
"What happened to him? Stuck up as a bait?" Jack sarcastically asked them.
"Quit that joke of yours!" K scolded Jack and pointed his finger at him while the other hand holding his feet indicating that he suffered injuries in his leg and couldn't walk.
Elsa readied her arms and Jack pointed his g-shaped wood at them, "Please, just give me back my necklace." Elsa begged them while the aura in her hands started to developed
"But it's valuable!" K revealed the necklace in his hands
"You're not good at negotiating don't you?" Jack laughed a bit right after when K said that.
"Jack!" Elsa scolded him.
"We're not negotiating with you, and we'll bid a farewell now!" J started to pull back while holding K in his waist, and Elsa starts to shot ice to them. J dodged the shot and dropped his cousin, making K grunted in pain, "You're a piece of bastard, J!"
"I think he will be incapacitated for a moment." Jack look at the direction where J's run off and threw the wooden to him, he dodged it and started circling around Elsa and Jack. Elsa shot ice to him but he cleverly dodged it and disappeared behind the tree. Jack runs to where the wood fell off then back to accompany Elsa. "Where did he go?"
"He disappeared behind it, looks like he use bushes as a cover." Elsa look at the Jack's wood and gave him an upset look, "So much for throwing that thing."
Jack ignored her words, "I think he might have the harmonica. We should watch out for him." Jack turns his attention to Elsa and smile, "And throwing it's not my only strategy."
Elsa frowned her eyes before she saw Jack readied his wood and pierced his woods into the ground, creating ice spikes at the ground, forming straight into the direction where J's gone, then suddenly they heard a screaming voice from the bushes.
"There he is." Jack ran straight to where the suspected J fell off.
Elsa just stared blank at him, not able to move or say a word. Her eyes grows wide, and her hands starts to low down, and she could not believe at what she just saw. "What did he just do?" she asked herself.
Jack move J's body and checked his legs that was having a frostbite after being struck off by Jack's ice. Jack looted his cloth to search for the harmonica, and he found it in his pocket. "Looks like I'm faster than you now." Jack said that while looking at J's feet, "Don't worry, the frostbite only last for a minute and you would be able to walk."
Then Jack looked to Elsa while she still stared shockingly at him, and when he looked to K his eyes grows wide. "Elsa, look out!"
Elsa couldn't react and when she saw into K's direction she only see powder snow blasted in front of her. When she opened her eyes she saw an arrow froze near her head, making Elsa jumped back.
K readied his crossbow again, Elsa noticed that and shot a spear of ice to the crossbow. K surprised at that moment and his crossbow broke in front of his eyes. She then approached him and K still look shocked.
"You almost had me killed there!" K scolded her.
"Please I don't want to hurt you." Her arms still forming an ice aura, "Give me back my necklace."
K feared that he would have a near-death experience again, so he gave her the necklace. After Elsa received the necklace, she lets out a lot of air from her lungs, knowing that her necklace back to her hand.
"Is that it? Or did you want to kill me now?" K asked her
"I'm not sure about that." Jack punched his face with his wood, leaving K out cold. "Now that's more like it."
Elsa looks at Jack and start to shot an ice spear on him. Fortunately for him he dodged it right on time. "What was that for?" he grunted at her.
"How could you have that? Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" Elsa ranted at him.
"Well I wanted to tell you that, but right before I told you there always something that prevented me from telling it."
"You could've told me earlier in the shore" Elsa shot another ice to him, and again Jack managed to dodge it. "Are you one of those witches?"
"What witches? I'm not anybody and I don't know how I got these okay?" He started to walk towards Elsa.
Elsa tried to shot another one to him but somehow her inner feeling doesn't want her to do that. She then started to look at his eyes again. His eyes grown wide indicating that he somehow scary at what she's capable of. His body gesture warned her to stop shooting. He keeps closing his distance to her and yet somehow she knew that he doesn't want to hurt her. Elsa lowered down her hands and started to staring at Jack. "I demand an answer." As she said in hostile's tone.
"And you'll get that." Jack keeps his hand in front of him to acknowledged her that he is not intended to hurt her. "Like I wanted to told you, I remember two or three things about myself." He then picked up his g-shaped wood and started to forming an ice in it. "And one thing that I know for sure, is that I can do what you could do."
Elsa eyes grew wide and her mind mixed with a lot of feelings: On one side she felt scary to him. She met a stranger, who doesn't know about himself and all of the sudden he revealed his magical power unannounced in front of her. On the other side she somehow feel relieved, to know that there was actually someone that has the same talent as hers. But she doesn't know how to react.
Then her train of thought was interrupted by Jack, "I can't explain how I ended up in that shore and I also can't explain how I got these power," he then gets closer to Elsa "but I have a feeling that you're gonna need my help." Jack offered his hand to her. "Will you trust me?"
Elsa still look shocked and confused at him. But somehow she realized that it was true. This Jack Frost has the same talent as hers, and maybe he is the only one that could help her with her power. But then again, she doesn't trust stranger that easily and she needs to know if he was telling the truth all of this time or just a good actor with an unpleasant goal.
And by the end of her thought, she just stared at his hand.
