Mr. Winter Meets Ms. Blondie
Episode Eleven - Meeting the Darkness
Jack Frost was trying to resist Rapunzel.
As much as he knew
that she just needs her space, he can’t think straight. Her hatred seems to be
too much. He was there to protect her and make sure her life ends well—and no
evil force would try to ruin her life for a hobby.
Every night he
would sneak and watch Rapunzel from the clouds. Although he knew that she
wasn’t ready to talk to him yet (and some part of him was convincing him
Rapunzel’s thinking of him,) he can’t help it if Dementia would try to slither
out from nowhere and jinx Rapunzel like what she did to Flynn. Oh yeah, Jack
remembered—Flynn Rider was still out of his sight.
Alright. Maybe I really don’t know
everything, Jack thought as he hovers on the night sky. Great. I just don’t know what she thinks about
me right now. Or what happened to Eugene when I left him and flew away. Great.
Why
can’t a Guardian like him split bodies? As much as he wanted to, so that a part
of him will be on watch of Rapunzel, another was to fetch Flynn from the thugs,
the third one to track Dementia down and do whatever it takes to take her down,
and the last one to guide and keep children safe and happy. It just won’t be
possible.
What have I entered? Jack thought again.
I could’ve said no. I could’ve just left
Rapunzel and let it be over. But I didn’t.
He suddenly
remembered the last thing he said to Rapunzel: Don’t ever think I never cared about you. It was the truth—and all
the truth. All of a sudden he was unsure of how he felt about her. Her laughter
makes his guts jump like crazy. When she’s near, a smile automatically forms on
his lips. And now that they’re away from each other, he can’t think of a better
way how to blame himself.
When he reached
the cleared area in the sky where the moon can be brightly seen, Jack stopped
in mid-air. With his teary blue eyes, he seemed to talk with the Man in the
Moon.
Tell me why, he said in his mind. Tell me why you have given her to me. Why in
all the Guardians and guys out there—why me?
The Man in the
Moon replied, I see nothing wrong. I even
see you fit.
But
you put me here! Jack thought grumpily, his brows furrowing together. I can’t grow close to her, but you always
try to put me next to her!
Do
you feel something about her?
Suddenly,
Jack felt like not telling the truth—and he was constantly wondering if the Man
in the Moon also knew everything about him. Everything up to what is he
thinking at the moment.
Do Guardians like me could fall for her? Jack
said back instead. Tell me.
The moon seemed to
darken a bit. You aren’t emotionless. You
aren’t just a boy I claimed to serve my wondrous purposes. You aren’t just
someone who is as cold as your power.
Jack spoke with
his voice. “You didn’t exactly answer my question.”
You seem to think good for yourself. But
then, I must remind you—emotions are what keeping humans the way they are. They
make mistakes and get hurt.
“Really
direct answer,” Jack murmured while holding onto his staff. He was frowning at
the thought of being ‘normal’ again.
I bid you farewell and good luck.
And just like
that, the Man in the Moon fell silent again—leaving Jack utterly confused. Love?
Is that what he feels right now? As he was flying down towards where Rapunzel
was supposed to be, all he could ever ponder on was the thought of feeling
something warm in his chest again—something he didn’t feel for hundreds of
years from his cold and dark slumber under the ice.
