Elsa was sitting out in the garden in the cool of a summer sunset, watching her younger sister, Anna, playing and occasionally chasing a butterfly. Elsa was reading a book about summer storms, so she could explain to Anna, in a simple way that Anna would understand, why storms cause lightening and thunder to hopefully ease Anna's fear of them. Anna chased the butterflies from flower to flower, singing to herself.
She stopped for a moment as another idea crossed her mind. She looked over at the fountain and smiled.
Elsa was hardly paying her sister attention or keeping an eye on her. Just as she nearly got to the end of the Storms chapter, she heard Anna scream, then a splash. More splashing followed as Elsa looked up, alarmed. Anna was trying to grab hold of the fountain's edge and climb out of the water, shrieking.
Elsa quickly got up, dropping her book on the ground. She rushed over to the fountain. Anna was trying to get out, whimpering and shivering, but she kept slipping on the bottom.
"Anna, it's okay. I got you." Elsa said, wrapping her arms around the girl's waist and pulling her out of the fountain.
"Elsa! It stung me!"
"What stung you?"
"One of the catfish in there. It hurts!" Anna said, putting her hand over her injured arm. She had no long sleeves on, which probably would have protected her from getting stung. Elsa forced Anna to remove her hand from her arm, and sure enough, there was a hole in her flesh that was bleeding. Elsa made Anna press her finger against the wound to help stop the blood from flowing out anymore. They walked to the castle like that.
"What were you doing?" Elsa asked.
"I was trying to walk along the fountain's edge, but I slipped on a wet part and fell in.. I fell on some of the catfish, and one of them stung me."
Elsa shook her head. "Anna, don't do that anymore! Especially if no one's out here to help you. It only takes a few seconds to drown!"
Anna nodded, taking in Elsa's very serious tone. She was right. That would be dangerous.
They walked up the side door of the castle, which was only mile away from the garden. Then, Elsa insisted on both of them going to Anna's room real quick.
"Why?" Anna asked, shivering and dripping water on the carpet.
"Because I want you to get some warm clothes on before we see the nurse."
"Okay.."
Elsa walked into the bathroom as they came to it, and she got a towel. Then, they walked into Anna's room and Anna got herself a warm, short sleeve nightgown and some slippers, as well as dry underwear. She went in her closet and closed the door a little to give herself some privacy as she dried herself with the towel. Then, she got into her warm clothing. She put on a robe, glad that the bleeding of the wound had lessened some.
"Let's go see the nurse and get that sting taken care of." Elsa said, taking Anna's hand and leading her to the hospital room.
Anna nodded and followed her sister all the way to the hospital of the castle. They walked in and found the nurse sitting at her desk. She had no patients to attend to, so she was able to look at and treat Anna's arm immediately.
Anna sat down in a chair beside the nurse's desk. Elsa explained about how Anna got the sting. The nurse nodded, taking everything in.
"Alright," the nurse said, "I'm going to clean her wound and put some medicine on it, then I'll place a bandage on it. The medicine might sting a little. Okay, princess?"
Anna nodded, not liking the idea of the medicine making the wound sting worse than it already did. But she would have to bear it.
Elsa sat in another chair across the small room and watched. The nurse cleaned Anna's wound with a napkin that she'd wet with warm water. The wet napkin washed off the dried blood, causing the wound to start bleeding again.
Elsa and the nurse knew that would happen. The nurse placed some gel medicine on the wound real quick, which did sting. The thickness of the medicine stopped the blood flow. The nurse placed a bandage on her arm.
The nurse turned to Elsa. "Now, she will need the bandage changed and more medicine every morning and when she takes a bath. Okay, your Majesty?"
Elsa nodded. "It will be done."
The nurse nodded with a smile. Anna felt the bandage on her arm with her hand, her wound still stinging some.
Elsa covered her mouth as she yawned. "Well, I think it's time for dinner and -"
Anna piped up, "Can you read me a fairytale tonight.. or do you have work to do?"
"No work.. I'm yours for the evening." she smiled, knowing her sister would be happy about that.
Anna smiled, "Yay. We can read in the library by the fireplace."
"Okay, but we should get some dinner first.."
"And cake for dessert! Chocolate, of course." Anna said, happily, forgetting about her injured arm.
Elsa smiled, not expecting anything different. They thanked the nurse and walked to the kitchen, and chatting along the way. They told the kitchen staff what they would like, then the sisters waited at the dinning table for their food and drink. A little while later, two maids came to the table with the trays of dinner, dessert, and drinks.
"We wanted to go to the library and read." Elsa informed the maids and she went to take her tray from one of the maids.
"Oh, that's okay, my Lady, I can carry this for you." The other maid with Anna's tray nodded.
"Very well, thank you." She said and lead the group to the library.
Elsa made a fire in the library's fireplace and soon, the sisters were sitting in front of it, enjoying their meals. Now that Anna was sitting still, the sting of her wound was becoming noticeable again. But the pain wasn't bad enough to make her speak up about it. In hardly anytime, Anna was done with her dinner and diving into her dessert, delighting in the taste. Chocolate was a taste she would never get bored of. Elsa took her time eating, then she ate some of her warm apple pie. They both finished off their tea, now feeling content.
They both got up off the floor and made their way to the sofa that was in front of the fire place. Anna took a seat, but Elsa went over to one of the book shelves. She took a book off the shelf and went back to the sofa. She made herself comfortable on one side of the sofa, while Anna laid down on the other end, her head resting on one of the small pillows. Elsa opened the book and read aloud the title of one of Anna's favorite fairytales. One she hadn't read in about a year. Anna closed her eyes with a smile, ready to listen.
Elsa began to read, Anna listening to her warm, soft voice. Every once in a while, Elsa would glance over the top of the book at Anna, and half way through the book, Anna became very still, eyes closed and breathing softly. Elsa smiled, knowing that Anna had fallen asleep. Elsa was glad for that, as it was starting to storm. Typical of these summer nights.
Elsa laid on the sofa, listening to the rain, thunder, and watching the fire flicker, or gazing at adorable Anna. The maids entered to collect their trays and cups now the that sisters were done with their dinner. They left, being quiet so as not to wake up Anna. Elsa was just about to drift off to sleep herself when bright lightening flashed, lighting up the room. A loud, powerful thunder shook the room soon after. Elsa was wide awake now, startled. A whimper from Anna got Elsa's attention. She look over at Anna, who was searching around the room for Elsa, scared. Elsa sat up and Anna saw her movement, then Anna made her way over to Elsa and threw herself into Elsa's arms.
"Anna, it's okay. I'm here." Elsa said, soothingly, as she stroked Anna's hair.
Anna's wound pressed hard against Elsa's arm, making it hurt again, but Anna was too focused on trying to calm down that she didn't care. Anna started calming down some, snuggling into the comfort of her sister's arms.
Anna gave a breath of relief, "You're still here."
"Yes, my sweet Flower. I'll always be here." Elsa said, rubbing her sister's back to help calm her down. Lightening flashed through the window again and Anna winced. Elsa broke free of Anna, assuring the younger girl that she was only going to the windows to close the curtains. That way, Anna wouldn't see the lightening through the dark material, and it would help her relax more. After Elsa had closed the curtains, she went back to Anna and laid at her side again. She stroked her sister's hair again as Anna laid her head on Elsa's shoulder, then Elsa softly began to sing to Anna.
"The storm rages on outside,
I know I left you before.
But you never have to worry now,
I'll never leave you anymore.
I love you for all you are.
You're strong and kind,
Gentle, warm, and sweet.
And I know you'll find..
that you are my Flower,
I'll be the rain you need.
I'll help you grow,
As you do for me.
Until morning comes,
I'll always protect you.
Stay here by my side,
and remember I love you."
Anna smiled, warmed by the lyrics. Elsa had written this song for her, unbeknownst to Anna. Now was the perfect time to sing it to her.
"That's pretty." Anna whispered with a smile.
"Thank you. I wrote it for you.. Ironically, it's storming, so I thought now would be a good time to sing it to you." Elsa said, giving her sister a warm hug. "I love you."
"Thank you, Elsa. I love you, too. Always."
The End.
