Elsa POV

I didn't want to go into the forest for a picnic, but they insisted. But if you think about it, a picnic is better than working.
So, here we are. A picnic in the woods with just friends and family.

It's warming to watch Anna running around, laughing and playing with our friends.
"Elsa, come play!" Anna calls to me. I don't answer right away. It's nice just lying in the sun with the grass that tickles my skin. Sven seems to be doing the same thing—just relaxing in the summer breeze.
"Must I?" I ask her.
"Yes, you must!" She insists. The next thing I know, Anna has somehow pulled me into the game. It doesn't take long before I'm also running around, laughing and having fun.

The day goes by quickly and before we notice, the sun is setting. "We should head home," I say, putting the plates back into the basket.
"Right now?" Anna asks. She sounds exhausted. Probably because she's been running around all day.
I slightly glance up at her, drawing in a deep breath. "You choose."
She simply looks at me with slightly surprise. "What?" She asks, as if not knowing what to say. She even stumbles on that one word.
"You choose. Go home, or stay," I explain, holding back laughter but smirking slightly.

Anna stares at me with near no expression, though her eyes are slightly wide.
I make eye contact with her and blink once. She quickly looks away and clears her throat. "Alright. I choose," She says.
I can hear Kristoff and Rapunzel quietly chuckle.
"We stay for a bit," Anna says, making her decision.
"Fine by me," Olaf smiles, lying down on the grass.

The sunset is beautiful. I haven't ever seen it from this view before. It's so quiet now that everybody has settled down. I glance over at Rapunzel. She's fallen asleep, curled up next to Anna—who is falling asleep, leaning in Kristoff—who is falling asleep on Sven.

I smile and take in a deep breath. This is how it should be every day. I look up to the sky once more and smile again. The stars become more visible as time passes. Though, that's normal.
I stretch my arms and legs out, no longer sitting with my legs crossed. I lie down in the grass and look up at the sky. After a few moments, I feel Olaf move next to me. When I look, he smiles before closing his eyes.
I smile back, but he's already asleep. So instead, I look back up at the sky and close my eyes.

Anna's POV

I continue to stare at the grass. Seconds ago, I was exhausted. Now that we're falling asleep, I can't sleep. I'm wide awake with tons of energy. This happens a lot and it gets annoying.
I look next to me on both sides. Rapunzel is asleep and Kristoff is asleep. I so badly want to get up and walk around, but I can't because they're surrounding me. So instead, I deal with it and stay put.

A few moments pass and I sigh of boredom. With the sigh, Rapunzel rolls over. This gives me an opportunity to stand; and I take it.
Carefully, I make sure everybody is aside and still sleeping, then I stand up.
Everybody is asleep. Rapunzel, Kristoff, Sven, Olaf, even Elsa. So, why am I still awake?

The fire is burning out, so I decide to go get some more firewood. With everybody here, nothing bad can happen. Can it?

I walk cautiously into the woods, picking up twigs and sticks, even dry leaves as I move deeper into the thick patch of trees.
At the sound of wolves, I quickly turn back and head back for the camp.

Finally arriving, I quietly put the wood and leaves down, carefully feeding the fire as it burns.

Once the fire is taken care of, I sit back and relax. Though, I'm still not tired. I heavily sigh, slouching forwards and putting my head down. Why can't I sleep? I think to myself.

I gasp and quickly look around when I hear somebody moving in the forest. I quickly count everybody around. Rapunzel, Elsa, Kristoff, Olaf, Sven. That's everyone.
The sound continues. Nervously, I crawl over and shake Elsa's arm. "Elsa, wake up. Somebody's here," I whisper.
"Go back to sleep," Elsa says half-asleep. She nudges me away then rolls over. I sigh then try again to wake her up. "Elsa, somebody is here," I warn again.
Elsa slightly opens her eyes and listens, though I barely notice.

At the sound of the person moving around, Elsa quickly sits up and looks at me. We make no verbal exchanges. Our expressions do the talking.

The sound gets louder and we quickly identify it as a horse. As it gets closer and louder, everybody else wakes up.

Soon, we're all standing near each other, listening and watching closely.

The horse becomes visible and so does the figure of it's rider.

"Who's there?" Rapunzel calls, clearly nervous.
The rider jumps off the horse and walks towards the camp.

Elsa moves me behind her, then Kristoff steps in front. It's nice that everybody wants to protect me. But I also want to protect them...

"I'm here," The voice says. Though, the voice is hushed. It's hard to tell the gender.
"Who?" Elsa asks, unsure.

The person steps into the light of the fire. "Nobody you know."
"What are you doing here?" I ask.
"Delivering a message from a friend," The person answers.

I slightly lean sideways and look the person head to toe. The person is a she and she doesn't look friendly.

"What's the message?" Olaf asks.

The girl puts her hand on her cheek and sighs, as if trying to remember.
"What's the message," She repeats.

Everybody quickly grows nervous and worried.
"Oh yeah!" She says. "Run."

As soon as the girl pulls something out of her pocket, everybody turns around and runs.
She throws something onto the ground that makes quite a loud noise.

Elsa and I look back and see a large cloud of smoke forming and coming towards us.
In instinct, Elsa pushes me forwards before falling. I stumble then trip over my own feet and fall onto the grass, away from the smoke.
I quickly sit up and look but can't see any of my friends or family.

The woman walks out of the smoke and towards me.
"Who saved you?" She asks.
"My sister," I answer, trying to avoid the question.
"I'll send her your regrets."

I get about a half a second to think about that sentence before I'm knocked unconscious.

Elsa's POV

My eyes slowly flutter open. Green Grass fills my vision, and sunlight shimmers off the grass.

I quickly remember the night before and sit up, quickly climbing to my feet. The world seems... Different. And I feel warmer and slightly overdressed.

Not thinking much of it, I shrug it off then look around. Rapunzel, Kristoff, Olaf, Sven... Where's Anna?
"Anna?" I ask quietly. My voice seems different as well. Though, I ignore it.

I step backwards, stepping on something. I turn around too quickly and trip over something, falling onto the grass and slightly winding myself.
I brush my hair out of my face then roll over and look at what I tripped over.
Or who...

I quickly crawl over and roll the person over. I gasp and fall back when I see the persons face.
"Rapunzel!" I call.
I continue to stare down at the person on the ground. Myself. I'm looking at myself.

So, this is just a short chapter of a new book I'm trying out.

It'll go back and forth between Elsa's POV and Anna's POV. (pov is point of view; for those wondering)

If this works out; that's amazing! Gives me another book to work on!
If this doesn't work out; That's okay. It was worth a try!

Thanks for reading! Please write a review or send me a PM letting me know what you honestly think!

Thanks again!
