Chapter 7: Just a Nightmare Away

Jack

          “Jackson!” I turn to see a small girl with long brown hair looking at me. “Are you coming?” The girl asks. “Umm yeah I’m coming.” I say and start to walk to her when I feel someone grab my arm; I turn to see an older version of the little girl. “Take care of your sister Jackson.” I nod, “I will.” I promise as I walk over to the little girl and grab her hand. “I’m so excited to skate! We haven’t gotten to do this for so long.” The little girl says with a smile on her face.

          I don’t know what is happening but deep in my heart, I know I have to protect this girl, my sister. “This is perfect!” The little girl says and stops in front of a lake. I walk over to the lake and grab a stick off the ground and hit the ice to make sure it wouldn’t break. “It’s safe Em, this will be fine.” Em? Was her name Emily? I hear her laugh, “Mom hates it when you call me that. You know she likes it when you call me Emma.” I smile, Emma, it fits her. “Sorry Em, but mom’s not here.” I say as I help her put on her skates.

          “Now take it easy, it’s been awhile since you’ve been on ice.” I say as I hold her hand and help her on the ice. We skate and have fun together till I hear a crack. Both Emma and I stop, Emma looks down to see the ice around her starting to crack. “It’s okay.” I say slowly and start to take off my skates. “Jackson…” Emma cries. “Don’t move, stay where you are.” I say and grab the same stick I use to check the ice. Stupid me should of check the middle, I knew better.

          “Now, don’t worry, I know what I’m going to do. When I count to three, you’re going to grab the stick and I’m going to toss you to the side.” I see her flinch. “No it’s okay, it won’t hurt, and you’ll be okay. Are you ready?” I ask. She nods, tears running down her face. I take a deep breath, “One… Two… Three!” Emma grabs the stick and I hook it around her waist and pull her away from the ice. I toss her to the side, I slip right on the broken ice and I feel the ice break. The last thing I saw was Emma reaching her hand out to me, “Jackson!”

          “Emma!!” I yell and shoot up. “Jack?” I hear next to me and I feel someone touch my arm. I flinch and look next to me to see Elsa. I couldn’t stop myself from grabbing her and going into her arms. “Jack what’s wrong?” She asks as she moves her fingers though my hair. “I… I had a nightmare.” I look at her, her baby blue eyes to see them wet form lack of sleep.

          “Do you want to talk about it?” She asks as we slowly start to side back into bed, I lay my head on her chest and listen to her heart beat, I forgot she was still in her bra and underwear but at the moment I don’t care, I had a dream… no a nightmare… no a memory. Something forms my past. “It was about my sister.” I feel Elsa stop messing with my hair, “Sister?” “Please Elsa… I don’t remember much. I just want to lay here with you and sleep. Please?”

          “Of course.” I feel her kiss my forehead, “Its okay now, I’m here.” She says and moves my arms around her body till I fall back asleep.

Elsa

          I couldn’t sleep after Jack woke up screaming. I look down at him, he was sound asleep. I liked having him with me, I felt safe with him around. “No… Stay away from her…” I hear. I look down to see Jack moving his head back and forth.  “Stay away! I won’t do it! You can’t make me kill her!” I hear which makes my eyes widen… Was he talking about me? “I love her. She’s my light; you can’t take her away from me!”

          Before I could try and wake him up, I see his hand start to freeze over and ice starts to from around my room. “Jack!” Yell and start to shake him but instead of waking up, he placed his hand over my heart and I can see ice start to form at his fingertips. I can feel myself starting to panic… “Jack…” Finally his eyes open but they aren’t his light blue eyes, their red almost like blood.

          “Jack?” I ask, my voice shaking. He grabs my cheeks and moves my head back and forth, “Such a pretty little girl.” I shake my head to make him let go and he does and gives me a smile. I glare at him and get out of bed to put a robe on, whoever this person is, his not Jack. “Now now my little pet, why cover up your sexy body from me?” I hear him say as I put my robe on. I turn to him and cross my arms.

          “Where’s Jack?” I ask. The man control Jack’s body stands and starts to walk to me and I take some steps back, “Don’t come near me or I’ll call the guards.” I say feeling a wall behind me. I hear him laugh, “And tell them what? Help, my bodyguard is trying to seduce me?” This man is close to me now, we’re only inches apart. “What do you want?” I growl. He puts his hand on the wall close to my head. “I want you dead. Easy enough right?”

          I shiver as he moves his head closer to me. “Don’t touch me.” I say and he laughs, “I thought you liked it when ‘Jack’ touches you.” I look at the ground, “You’re not Jack. You’re just in his body.” He moves his head closer to me and licks my face, which makes me shiver again and cringe in fear. “Mmm… I can see why he fell for you so fast. I was scared this would happen.” He pushes off the wall and keeps looking at me, I feel naked the way he looks at me. “Maybe I should keep you alive, I might just keep you as my slave, and rule over this kingdom.”

          “I’ll never work for you, or give you this kingdom; I’ll die before I do either.” I say with so much anger. Then he does this laugh, almost like the Joker. “Oh really?” Slowly he starts to move his hand and I see frost start to spin around his hand, “This will make you mine, and you won’t have a choose.” He was about to blow that frost in my face when I did the first thing that come to mind, I iced my hand and slap him.

~Slap~

          Jack’s head swings the side and I see him touch his face. “Ouch! What the hell Elsa?” I hear as Jack looks at me and his ice blue eyes are back. “Jack!” I yell and go into his arms and start to kiss him without stopping myself. He pulls back, “What’s wrong? Why aren’t we in bed? What happened?” He asks, his eyes are so confused and he looks scared. I take a deep breath, “It’s going to be hard to be hard to explain.” He grabs my hand and pulls me to the bed. “Talk.”
