The Man In The Moon (chap 61)
Jack's POV
I was trying to go to sleep but I couldn't help but worry about Elsa.
Is it my fault that she's like this. Did she hate me enough to break the border. Or was she scared of me.
Suddenly there was a yell that came from the hall.
"JACK!" a loud thump followed after.
That sounded like Elsa.
I jumped out of bed and pulled on a shirt and pants.
I opened my door to find Elsa on the floor. Her hand outstretched to my door with blood dripping down her nose.
She let out a cough and a bit of blood flew out.
"Elsa! Are you okay? C'mon"
I put her arm over my shoulder and picked her up.
Her breathing was unsteady and her eyes looked dead. She wasn't showing any emotion.
Do I take her to her room or?
I'll just take her there.
I started to walk (or drag) Elsa to her room door.
I started to reach for the doorknob when Elsa stopped me.
"Don't" She barely whispered out.
"Elsa, I don't care if your room is sparkly clean. You're going to sleep"
"Please, don't open-"
I pushed the door open before she could finish.
We walked inside.
The large mirror in her room was shattered to pieces. Half of her bed was torn as if someone had clawed at it. Cotton was everywhere.
There were certain holes in the walls and were probably bigger than my head.
"I told you, idiot"
"You know that's 7 years bad luck" Hey, jokes were my way of avoiding bad situations.
"Well where are you gonna sleep?"
Elsa sighed
"I won't"
"What do you mean you won't sleep?!"
"I mean, I can't sleep"
This is a problem.
Elsa let go of me and stood up on her own.
"I'm just going to get some fresh air. That might help"
Elsa started fixing her messy braid and reached for her sweater.
"Wait wait wait. Why are you going as the 'Snow Queen'. Don't you think it'd be safer?"
She let out a scoff.
"It certainly didn't work at school"
There it is. The guilt started stabbing again.
"At least let me come with you. What if something happens and I'm not there to help you?" I tried to convince her.
Elsa froze.
"Where were you then. When I needed you. How do you think I survived. I would never risk bringing my sister with me. The rest of my family was dead and everyone else was busy trying to make enough money for us to survive. You were never there to help me when I was on my own. I can take care of mysel-"
"That was then. The past is in the past. Leave it there. I'm done with being that jerk alright! I'm going with you wether you like it or not"
Elsa groaned and threw my staff at me. It hit me right in the face then fell into my arms.
"Take it. You might need it"
I gave her a nod.
I grabbed Elsa's hand.
She put her beanie over her head and opened the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Elsa and I sneaked around the corner.
I don't know why she was sneaking but I didn't bother asking.
She walked past a couple of guys. They didn't seem like a danger but I didn't like the way they were looking at Elsa.
That's when it happened.
This one guy. Oh gosh. This one guy.
We were about to get out of the alleyway when this guy.
This idiotic guy.
We heard him.
"I'd like to get in her pants"
I was majorly facepalming right now. I don't think he noticed who she was yet.
Elsa froze. Her eyes widened and she gritted her teeth.
I didn't hold her back.
She started to walk towards him.
"Hey babe, came back for more I s-"
She punched him. Square in the jaw.
His friends ran off leaving the poor guy all alone.
"Hey babe, take it ea-"
Elsa grabbed his collar and slammed him into the floor.
"Call me babe one more time. I dare you"
Elsa's eyes were practically glowing electric blue. At least she was in control.
"Listen ba-"
She slammed her foot into his face and began to kick at his sides.
She kept kicking and kicking.
"C'mon, don't be a bi-" He managed to grunt out.
But he was cut off.
By Elsa kicking him right in the panini. She grabbed his shirt and slammed him against the wall one more time.
Elsa pinned him back.
"If you say that, not only to me but to any other girl who doesn't know you I'll find you. And next time, I won't stop until you're dead. Got it?"
The guy nodded shakily.
Elsa let go.
She angrily grabbed my hand.
"Let's go"
"I don't know about you, but that was pretty awesome"
Elsa smirked and we continued to walk.
~~~~~~~~~~
It was getting pretty awkward.
This kind of reminded me of.
Of a date.
But it's not a date. I think.
Well anyways, it was really awkward.
So I decided to talk a bit.
"So where'd you get that sword?"
Elsa jumped a bit. I probably scared her.
"Oh. Uh. My sword. Someone gave it to me"
Someone gave it to her?!
"What do you mean someone 'gave' it to you? People don't just go around giving away weapons!"
Elsa looked down and smiled.
"There was this man. I remember walking past him and feeling a spark. He had snow white hair with bits of gray and shining ice blue eyes. He looked pretty young. I couldn't tell if he was 25 or 35. He sat on the floor with a tiny tin can in front of him. I was on my way to buy a sandwich with some money that I'd earned from selling newspapers, so I decided to buy him one.
I remember giving it to him. Then looking into his eyes. His pupil was completely white.
He was blind.
But he had the brightest smile I'd ever seen"
~TODD THE FLASHBACK PLIS~
"Uh. I-I got you this sandwich"
My shy self didn't really know how to handle this.
But his eyes made me feel safe. Like I could tell him anything.
"Why thank you. That was very sweet of you"
I kneeled down and put the wrapped up sandwich into his hands.
"Wow this smells amazing" His eyes were so full of wonder even though they looked empty.
The man looked up.
"My, What beautiful hair you have?"
"Thank y- Wait. How do you know how my hair looks like?"
The mans smile became even warmer.
"I may be blind. But I know who you are. Elsa Winters. A+ student. Quiet and independent. You lost your parents at a young age"
I was starting to feel a bit scared, since I had never met this man before.
"Am I scaring you? I'm sorry. My name is Manny, but on the streets people call me the man in the moon. It's an honor to meet you, Snow Queen"
How. How did he know.
He reached out his hand to me.
"Come with me. I want to show you something"
I know it was a stupid thing to do, but I felt like I could trust him.
I helped him stand up. Compared to me, this guy was a skyscraper.
He took me into an alleyway, touching the walls to find his way.
"Ah. Here we are. Wouldn't want to blow your cover would we?
Elsa. You have much in store for you. I know about your disease. About your family and your life"
"H-How?"
"Me and your father were close friends as children. We grew up together. I watched you stand and fall. And I know how to help you.
My son. He has the same disease. You are each others antidote"
That means I can stop this!
"Who is he"
"You can't meet him yet. Neither of you are ready. Until he triggers his power will he be able to help you. For now, you wait."
"But-"
"I must leave now. But before I leave, have this"
He walked to the other side of the alleyway and began to look around until he found grabbed something.
Manny began to walk back towards me, holding something long wrapped in a cloth.
"Take this. It belonged your father"
I unwrapped it to find a long blade with tight black leather wrapped around the hilt.
What.
"Why the heck did my dad have a sword"
Manny chuckled a bit.
"It belonged to his great grandfather. He was going to give it to you for your graduation. But, it didn't work out that well. He told me that if he couldn't give it to you, to find you and return it early. So I did"
"How did you know it was me" I said while playing around with the sword.
"You fit your fathers description. Beautiful and generous. Breath-taking platinum blonde hair. Skin as pale as snow. And amazing bright blue eyes"
My dad. He said all that about me?
I felt my eyes tearing up at the mention of my family.
I wiped away the tears. I didn't want to look weak
"How come I've never seen you before if you know my dad so well?"
"I guess you could say I'm more of a night person" (pun pun pun)
I nodded.
"I need to leave. Protect those that you can. You'll live a painful yet beautiful life. Then meet with a terrible fate. But do not worry. It gets better. It always gets better."
He kissed the top of my head, then disappeared back into the city.
~~WOOP WOOP Kevin I'll give you a turn since Amy is out there reading~~
Elsa's POV
"He kind of reminded me of you" I said.
I looked over at Jack.
He was frozen in place. Shaking. I saw a few tears drop to the floor.
"Jack?"
He fell to his knees. His breath fastened and more and more tears streamed down his face.
Then he whispered something.
"He-He's supposed to be dead"
"What?"
"The man you described. It makes no sense"
His head shot up.
Jack grabbed my head and pulled me towards him.
His eyes.
They were filled with confusion and anger. Swirling and fighting against each other.
"He's my dad"
A/N MORE PLOT TWISTS WOOP WOOP.
Mama waffle don't mess around.
I swear this whole book is just a giant pun.
So my brethren took away my portable device and I could not proceed to write for a large amount of time.
in other words my parents took away my phone for a bit.
But hey we were both being jerks so I don't blame them.
So. School. No. No. No. No. It's coming guys.
It coming. And I really need duck tape.
Oh that reminds me, last year I made a bet with this girl. She said that I wouldn't tape her to her seat on the bus. I objected.
I mean I got yelled at but it was worth it.
Well sorry for the not being able to update sooner.
I need to plan for prison-I mean school. American schools are pretty messed up.
If anyone ever asks me what I want to be when I grow up I'll tell then that I want to be a potato cosplayer. That's all I want. Then I'm gonna go to any SnK cosplay and if a Sasha doesn't chase me I will be disappointed.
Wow my plans for the future are are great.
I keep forgetting that each other is 2 words.
(KAMY 4 LYFE)
