Elsa and Jack had made there way to bed, exhausted and awaiting for their bodies to collapse into bed. Jack opened the door to their chambers unclasping his button to his cape. Throwing it onto the chair by the door he sat on the bed taking the hard black shoes off. Elsa stood in the mirror and whipped the crown off her head feeling the weight finally off her little head, setting the crown on the table in front of the mirror she sat down running the brush through her long platinum locks. Jack stood behind her rubbing her shoulder and then taking his own heavy crown off and placing it by Elsa's.
Jack " I'm sorry for upsetting you earlier..." his throat croaked.
Elsa " You didnt upset me"
Jack " I thought I had"
Elsa " No you haven't" she said finishing brushing her hair.
Jack " Are you ever going to tell me what's really upsetting you then?" He ask calmly.
Elsa" What do you mean?"
Jack " About what Fredrick said to you or are we going to pretend that you're fine?"
Elsa " Everything is fine" she said getting up from the chair and walking to get ready for bed.
Jack " Do I really have to go see Fredrick myself and ask him?" He rubbed his eyes.
Elsa " No! Don't do that!" She whipped suddenly around facing Jack.
Jack " Then are you going to tell me ?" He sat on the edge of the bed near Elsa.
Elsa " Like I told you he just put me in my place about being Queen"
Jack " There's got to be something more than that Elsa why can't you just tell me?"
Elsa " Because I don't want you to get angry "
Jack " Angry? Why would I get angry?"
Elsa " No reason"
Jack " Elsa..... are you being serious right now?"
Elsa " What?"
Jack " Stop pushing me away and tell me"
Elsa " Fine..... you want to know? Fredrick yelled at me and put me in my place reminding me it's my duty to provide the kingdom with an heir and he yelled at me because I wasn't pregnant " she says grasping her shoulders and hugging herself.
Jack" WHAT? How could you not me this?! Does he know who he's talking to?" He angrily said.
Elsa " Hes right it is my duty and I let them down ...." She grew sad.
Jack " NO DONT LET HIM SPEAK TO YOU LIKE THAT!"
She had only seen him angry once and it had scared her, she was afraid because it reminded her of Pitch and how he would throw her around and grasp her by the neck sometimes. She didn't like seeing Jack like this and when he stepped forward to grab her hand it triggered something in her mind.
Elsa " Dont touch me!" She stepped back feeling helpless and scared.
Jack was startled and lost for words he hadn't meant to scare her so much, had he really gotten that angry? He could see in her eyes that they were afraid, afraid of him. What was going on in that mind of hers? He stepped forward again trying to take her hand more calmly but she jumped backwards and towards the door.
Jack " Snowflake I'm sorry didn't mean to scare you" he says reaching for her again.
Elsa " I said some touch me! Leave me alone!" And she ran out the room.
Elsa had spent that night crying alone in another room, salty tears down her cheeks until she fell asleep.....
The next morning Elsa woke up knowing that there was an important meeting yet nothing was going as planned, Her and Jack had there first fight about a council member and she felt guilty, guilty that it was her fault, guilty because she knew she should have told Jack the truth. Why? Why was she so scared of telling him things? Was it the fact that she'd always let her parents down? That she let Jack down?
She got up out of bed not that she was feeling up to it with the pounding headache she had not to mention the awful dream she had where Jack left her. After putting her pink off the shoulder dress on that was down to her feet she then braided her hair and headed down to the drawing room. The servants watched her every move and they probably knew the rumours after the guards had seen her leave their room last night. Reaching the drawing room she saw Jack notice her and her heart dropped. She could see him trying to get closer to try and speak to her but she reminded quiet and went into the drawing room where the council awaited.
Fredrick " Well first off we'd love to congratulate you on your coronation it was a huge success for everyone involved"
Thomas " Yes it truly was, it made the people see the new king and now he interacts with his people"
Elsa rolled her eyes of course they were happy with Jack being King now all they did when she became Queen was that she would mess it up and they needed a King.
She could feel Jacks presence beside her and she wanted nothing more than reach out and grab his hand, but after last night she didn't know how to feel or what to do? Was she making the right decision by keeping more secrets from him? As the council were talking she suddenly became dizzy and in pain, her stomach began to have a mind of its own.
Elsa " Excuse me gentlemen but I'm going to have to take leave but, your good in the hands of the King here" she said gesturing besides him trying not to show her fragile state.
Jack " Elsa please stay I need you"
Elsa " Sorry I can't..."
Fredrick " It's alright we were just about to ask Jack what he was bringing to trade anyways? "
Jack " Oh right that well I don't exactly know" he scratched his neck.
He desperately wanted Elsa to stay he felt bad for last night and wanted to make it up to her, he didn't mean to make her so upset or afraid. It was awful being alone again. That's when he noticed her leave and with the door clicking shut he couldn't concentrate without seeing what was wrong with Elsa and that's when he left himself leaving the council alone without no warning...
His feet hit the floor as fast as they could searching for Elsa could be and that's when he found her on the floor with her head down and her knees to her face and her hands on her stomach.
The voices in her head were tormenting her, the black smoke, that face she hated scared in her mind forever, her head pounded and she felt dizzy and he was haunting her. She could hear the footsteps of his shoes getting closer and she couldn't do anything about it his evil laugh pinned in her mind.
Jack reached down to his snowflake wondering why she was on the floor, he gestured a hand to help her up but she pushed him away, the fear in her eye grew and he began to worry all over again. He tried again but she moved away from him closer to the wall in the corner.
Jack " Elsa let me help you?" He put his hand out again.
Elsa " No stay away!" She clutched her head fighting the pain, the never ending dizziness of her mind.
Jack knelt down to her, placing a hand on her shoulder and trying to take her hand in his. Her eyes shut And that's when she let out a cry out in pain a one he'd never heard her do before. He knew something was wrong.
Jack " What can I do to help?"
Elsa " I said stay away from me! Pitch leave me alone!" She pushed his hands away.
Jack " Elsa it's not Pitch it's me Jack, come on let me help you tell me where you're hurting"
Elsa " No No your just tricking me I know it's him "
Jack " No it's not Pitch, look look at me snowflake" he said lifting her chin up with his fingers.
Elsa's eyes opened and that's when she saw Jacks eyes meet hers. Her blues ones stared into his pools but her mind was still woozy.
Elsa" Jack?" She questioned.
Jack " I'm here, tell me what's wrong I'll help you" he took her hand in his.
Elsa " My head hurts"
Jack placed a hand on her forehead feeling the temperature of the Ice Queen, his eyes grew wider she had a temperature and was burning up! No wonder she thought he was Pitch she was probably hallucinating.
Jack " Anything else that hurts" he looked into her eyes again.
Elsa " Here" she placed a hand on her stomach.
Jack placed his hand over hers and when he did he got a strange sensation a one he'd felt before. His mind went into over drive picking his wife up and carrying her gently and quickly towards their room. He placed her on the bed wrapping her up in a blanket and called for a doctor as quick as he could something was wrong with Elsa.
Elsa woke up finding herself in bed and wrapped in a blanket, how had she gotten here? Her mind had been so fuzzy that she couldn't really remember anything before the meeting. And that when she noticed her husband in the corner leaning on his staff with his hands in his pocket.
Walking over to her and sitting by her his worried face stares back at her. Taking her hands gently into his.
Jack " Snowflake I called for a doctor"
Elsa " No Jack I'm fine I promise I was just tired" she said panicking. She says dropping her hands from Jack.
Jack " Elsa you need a midwife...."
