Chapter 1 – Dream
I had a great life, much better than I ever imagined. I had friends spectacular; amazing parents; a younger brother quite amusing; a younger sister which I never separated and a career as a figure skater.
Figure skating. One of my greatest passions. When I was little I was always wacthing figure skating championships, one after the other. After a few setbacks without great importance I started skating. Although when I was in College that gave me some problems since I was the only figure skater and sometimes colleagues made fun of me. Until I became the representative of the College in the competitions and I have won all them.
I devoted most of my time to figure skating. In my personal account I had: winner of the Junior Figure Skating Championship two years in a row; National runners-up; national champion two years in a row, bronze medal in the European Figure Skating Championships and many others.
When I wasn't working or training, I was watching videos of championships and great skaters. When I was younger that was one of my biggest dreams: be a figure skater as good as them.
Little did I know what the future had in store.
Dawn in Oslo, the capital of Norway. Me and my family were living there after one of my competitions. The ice rink is a lot closer to home than in Arendal. That didn't even an ice rink. Also my coaches helped a lot with the change. They were the ones who showed us the house.
I was asleep when my alarm went off.
"Dum vekkerklokke. (Stupid alarm clock)." I grumbled in Norwegian while trying to turn it off, but also it was my fault to have the alarm connected on a Saturday.
When I finally turn it off and I tried to fall asleep again, it were still 9:50 am and I was just going to training at 11:30 am. I closed my eyes, but now I really had to wake up.
"Elisabeth Arendelle, breakfast!" My father calls me out of the kitchen.
Talked of frustration because I wanted to sleep, but contradict my father wasn't the best thing to do. I had no choice. I got up and went to take a shower. After that I wore a track suit, dried my hair and tried to do my braid as fast as I could. My father didn't like to call more than once.
I went downstairs as fast as I could and went to my parents in the kitchen for the breakfast. There with them was my younger brother, Olaf, writing on his laptop while takes breakfast. My father was talking with him while was reading a newspaper, typical.
"Good morning" I said.
"Good morning sweetie." Said my mother with her usual endearing grin.
"Good morning Elisabeth" I rolled my eyes when my father called me Elisabeth. Although it is my real name, I didn't like very much, I preferred the other name by which everyone treated me.
"Good morning Elsa" Said Olaf without ever taking his eyes off the screen. Elsa is a variant of Elisabeth and personally I'd prefer Elsa, was shorter than Elisabeth and that helps a lot.
I have to admit I was a bit curious about what Olaf was doing."What are you doing brother?" I couldn't resist. "I'm writing the script for the school play." He answer me without taking his eyes off the screen, again."But you didn't have to deliver the script only next week?" I asked."Yes I have, but I like to enjoy every day to write and finish sooner, I can always go making some changes, fix mistakes and so I start training now for a day I can become a filmmaker." It was my brother's passion. He loved movies, all kinds of it and since always he was like that.
"Way to go son! Can be adopted, but you are increasingly an Arendelle. "Said my father. "That's what I intend to dad!" Olaf said filled with pride.
We adopted Olaf when he was four years old. My sister and I liked to have another brother or sister and our parents too, but was diagnosed to our mother cancer of the cervix. Thank God, she got it operated in time, but as a result she may not have any more children. So we decided the four give a second chance the other child and so we adopt Olaf.
I noticed that my sister didn't arrived for breakfast yet, usually when I arrived she was already eating. "Where's Anna?" I asked.
"I bet she's still asleep." My father replied, changing the page of the newspaper.
"I wonder know what that girl was been doing to still be sleeping." Said my mom while she finished the pancakes for our breakfast.
"Three options: Or she was rehearsing new dance steps, or she was playing guitar all night or she was doing skype all night with Kristoff." Said Olaf.
We can say that both I and my siblings had our passion. Mine was the figure skating, Olaf was cinema and Anna, well she had two, dance and guitars. She was a professional dancer and either she was dancing for great artists or she was making her own shows with other big names of the internacional dance. She also had a huge guitar collection. She should have maybe some twenty-five different guitars, more electric than acoustic. All autographed and she played really well, either pop or rock.
Kristoff was Anna's boyfriend. He went to the United States to take part in the Global Bands Battle with his band, the Frosne Guardians. Kristoff was the drummer and sometime he took Anna to the trials and challenged her to play in the band.
I decided to go wake up my sister. Her room was downstairs so I went downstairs without making noise. I went down the stairs that led to a small living room next to Anna's room and there she was, sleeping on the couch clutching a guitar autographed by Jorn, a Norwegian heavy metal singer.
I took guitar of her hand slowly and posed it on the table. I tried shaking Anna for trying to wake her up, but not even call her ear seemed to help. And I thought I had a heavy sleeper. I didn't see another solution. I got a bucket, not too big, and filled it with cold water. I remembered that the last time Olaf tried to wake up Anna like that, only with cold water and she didn't wake up. So I had to be more nasty. I went to the freezer that was there in the room and put three bags of ice inside. Then Olaf came. "She didn't wake up." Said Olaf still on the stairs. "She sleeps like a rock"
"You put ice in the water?
"That's the way she wakes up faster." I prepared myself to throw the bucket of icy water and as soon as I through the water, she woke up. "AAAHHH!" Anna woke up in an instant and she was really mad but we untie us to laugh. "ELISABETH!" She cried out. "Oh damn it. RUN OLAF! "I through the bucket away and Olaf and I started to run away."ELSA! IF I PUT MY HANDS ON YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT HIT YOU! "She got really mad.
Olaf and I reached the living room upstairs and Anna continued behind me. Olaf hide himself in the kitchen, where they were still our parents. I tried going to the other side of the couch but Anna did grab me and crashed on the couch. She got on top and started making me tickles. I could barely breathe, but our father decided to intervene.
"Girls, calm down." Thanks God our father intervene, Anna stopped and I could finally breathe. "Sorry dad." Anna left me but still gave me a pat on the back of the head. "AH-HA, very funny Anna!" I said in a wry tone. "This was for getting me thrown a bucket of icy water."
"C'mon girls, breakfast." Said our mother in the kitchen and the smell of pancakes was really delicious. "We're coming." We answered. Anna was taking a hot bath and then joined me."It smell delicious." Commented Anna."What you want more? The mother's pancakes are the best of Norway."I said. "Girls." Said our mother."But it's true." Anna and I said at the same time.
"Okay. Anna, two pancakes? "
"Yes mom."
"Elsa, two pancakes?"
"Just one please."
"Just one?! You usually eat two. "Said Anna.
"Yes, but today I'm going to training and I don't want to eat too much." Anna rolled her eyes while I took a bite into your mouth.
"You and the training." She said.
"You got a problem with that? By the way, you want juice?"
"Yes I want." I served the juice. She drank the juice and said. "And I don' have problems with your training. It's just that, now you're never at home. You're going to training in the morning and just come at dinnertime.
"Anna, you know that this competition is very important. If I win I can become champion of Europe and you know I've already won everything there was to win in Norway. All I need is the European Championship and then I won all there was to win in Europe. "
Anna didn't said anything, she just put her hand on my back and sketch me a smile. She was about to say something when the Olaf to interrupt her.
"Elsa, can you take me to Vanellope's house? She's going to help me with the school play."
"Of course I can. Go get the helmet and let's go. "
I finish my breakfast and I went to my room to prepare my bag to go to the ice rink. After that I went downstairs and I said goodbye to my parents and my sister. I put the helmet on and I put on the motorbike. That motorbike, an Aprilia RSV4 R APRC, had been my gift for my tenth-ninth birthday. Olaf clung to my waist and we left.
Before going into the ice rink, we stopped at Vanellope's House. She had been the victim of bullying, but thanks to Olaf, she got it to overcome this problem and quickly they became friends, so much that he fully entrusted her for the help with the school play. Olaf knew well her talent.
Vanellope was the daughter of a German couple who were on vacation in Norway. When she was eight years old, Vanellope and her parents had a fatal car accident. Vanellope's parents died. They were the only family she had. Lucky her parents were friends of an American couple who were living in Norway and now they were taking care of her. But the man, Felix, was a construction worker and his wife, Tamora was Sergeant at the U.S. Army, so she was never home.
Luckly, Felix's cousin, who at the time was unemployed, took care of her when Felix wasn't home. We had been in the same school, so we knew each other. I stopped the motorbike in front of his house and I rang the door opened. In front of me was a tall man, maybe 7 ft 2 in tall. But, hey, by some reason he was the best basketball player in college so, you know. Muscled, with red hair and authoritarian air at first sight but after meet him better he was a good friend.
"Hello Elsa."
"Hello Ralph. I came here to bring Olaf, he and Vanellope have to take care of some things for the school play."
"Yes it is. Vanellope was waiting for you Olaf. Just a second." Ralph called Vanellope who was in the living room to build some of the props with Felix help. "Hey kid, Olaf's here."
"I'm coming." Answered Vanellope. She left the room and went to us."Hi Elisabeth. Hey Olaf, everything okay? "She asked.
"Everything, I have here a part of the script."
"Good, come in."
"Okay." Olaf turned to me and said "Oh, Elsa, when I am ready I call you, okay?"
"Okay. See you later."
"See you later Elsa."
Olaf went with Vanellope into the room, when Ralph said."You don't want to come in?"
"Thanks Ralph, but I really have to go. I have to go to training."
"You always made a figure skating career." Ralph looked at me without surprise. "So you didn't take the course of architecture?"
"Yes I took. But the skating has always had more importance to me."
"Easy, the next competition is the European Figure Skating Championships. You're going to make part of it?"
"Yeah, I'm in the Norway National Figure Skating team."
"Without much surprises but, good luck for the championship"
"Thanks Ralph. I think I gotta go. This year I want more than the bronze medal"
"That's Elisabeth Arendelle I remember. So goodbye Elsa."
"Goodbye, Wreck-it Ralph." "Wreck-it Ralph" was his nickname when we were in College, "Wreck-it" because when he played a game of basketball, he "destroyed" the opposing team. "Do you still remember that?!" He asked "That's hard to forget." Both laughed. He closed the door and I went to my motorbike, but when I looked at my watch. It was 11:20 am. I had to hurry up. I couldn't be late for the training, not this week. I put the helmet on and I follow way.
I finally arrived to the ice rink. I ran to the rink where the other representatives of Norway had already finished. One of my coaches, Arkin Svenssen has looked at his watch. I really, really, can say that I arrived just in time.
"Who's alive always appears, isn't it Arendelle?" Said Arkin.
"Sorry coach, I had to take my brother to a friend's house."
"Well, what matters is that you're here. Go put on your skates and hurry up. "Was one of the things that I liked in my coach. No matter what happens, if I can training it's okay.
Wore skates and went to the track. That training would serve to work the short program. That program would have been as perfect as possible so I can dream of title of European champion. So I felt comfortable 100 percent started working more closely the free program, which last year won me the bronze medal. The music that I and my coach decided it was a challenge for some time, "Me and My Broken Heart" by Rixton. It was a song with several changes of rhythm. So it would give me a lot of work because I could make many choreographies with just one song. I also wanted to show that I can skate like I walk on land, so was my best chance. While I was doing the choreography, the Arkin was giving me some pointers and suggestions to put on choreography. Repeat the complete choreography, maybe 20 times.
Only at one o'clock I finished. I went to my motorbike when my cell phone rang.
"Hello."
"Hello Ice Queen." "Ice Queen" was my nickname but only two people called me that frequently, and by the Scottish accent, could only be one person.
"Hi Brave. ""Brave" was the nickname of Merida, one of my best friends.
"Look, I was thinking and I was wondering if you wanted to come lunch with me and Astrid here in my house."
"For me it's okay."
"Great! See ya later Ice Queen!"
"See you later."
It was good to hear Merida's voice again. Like me, she spends a great of her time practicing. I was a figure skater, she was an archer. She even had a world record. The nickname "Brave" was given by Astrid, since she, of the three, she likes to be a free spirit who makes your own fate. In the other hand, Astrid, the three of us, was the only one who didn't compete. But she was one of our biggest supporters. Even though Denmark was in the same competitions as Norway and Scottland, she cheered for us.
I came to Merida's house. There already was Astrid's car. But as often happened, Merida's dog, Angus, a Scottish Greyhound began barking suddenly. Not to attack, but glad to see me. When Angus saw us, me or Astrid, he ran for us. The problem was even when he starts barking. Several times he scared me. I didn't need to ring the doorbell. Merida opened the door at that time.
"Hi Ice Queen."
"Hi Brave." We gave a big hug at that moment, it had been a long time since we last saw each other. "Nice to see you again."
"I mean the same friend." We broke the hug, and suddenly Angus jumped at us. "Angus. Angus sit, now!" He sat immediately.
"He's well trained." I commented.
"He was trained by me and by my father." Brave's father was Scottish greyhound breeding and their dogs had already won several awards.
"Could only." We let go a laugh.
"Get in." We come in. I noticed that the house was still with some bags unopened." Sorry about the mess, but not on vacation I stop training."
"You make it sound like you don't know me."
"But you have competition soon, I don't."
I had missed those answers of Brave. We got to the living room and there was Astrid. I was so happy to saw her again too.
"Hi Astrid."
"Ice Queen!" She also gave me a warm hug. "Is so good to see you!"
"Is good to see you too"
Broke the hug and she asked."So, are you going to make part of the European Figure Skating Championships?"
"You know that this years I want more than a bronze medal".
"Astrid, you should know that this girl always want to do better than the last year." Said Merida from the kitchen. "And by the way, the lunch is ready."
Astrid and I went to the kitchen. The smell was delicious. Merida had made Hash, a typical dish from Scotland. "It smells delicious." Commented Astrid.
"Thanks, I used a few tricks of my mother so I hope it tastes good as smells."
We sat down and started eating. The Hash was delicious. While we ate, we talked a lot about what we were doing.
"So Astrid, how are things in Copenhagen?" Asked Merida.
"Everything is great, the riding school has a lot of new members, so better is impossible."
"And Hiccup? You two still dating?"
"Seriously." We set all a laugh. "Yes, we still dating."
"You've been dating for a long time, isn't it?" I asked. "Yes, we've doing for five years."Said Astrid. "Five years?! You guys are really happy together." Said Merida. "You don't even know. And by the way, how are things between you and Colin?"Asked Astrid.
"We've been dating for four months, now we are training together already for the next competition."I was amazed and a little confuse."Training together for the next competition?! Wait, we're talking about Colin Camelot, Camelot?!" Colin Camelot was an Irish athlete of archery and in spite of everything, he was one of the greatest Brave's rivals, oh what I'm saying, he was Brave's greatest rival. "Yes, that's him."She said."And think you once tied him to a tree and used it to training." I was even more surprised. Brave and Colin never had the best relationship. He made his life miserable and she revenged.
"Life takes many turns. And since we're talking about our relationships, how's your Ice Queen?"
"Well, it seems I am the only single of the three of us."
"What?!" If I was amazed with the relationship of Merida with Colin, they seemed even more amazed with the fact that I was single.
"But you and Hans broke up?" Asked Astrid. "You were so well together." Continued Merida. Hans and I have been dating for almost one year, and in the beginning of our relationship we were always together, we even think about start living together. But became a time that we started to stay more away from each other and when we were together, we didn't look like boyfriend and girlfriend but just great friends. So we decided that was time of each follow with your own life. "Yes but wasn't working. We still talk and we are good friends, only that we are no longer together." I answered.
"And do you have any other under eye?" I realized the tone with Brave asked me that. "Really Brave?" We started to laugh. "Yes, and I'm sorry, I had to ask." I understood why she said that, I have to admit it, that one was funny."Well, let it go."
We had a lot of talk and a lot of laughs. For me I didn't care of spent the rest of the afternoon with them but I had a very important competition coming, so I went back into the ice rink.
Waiting for me were Arkin and Kollsvein Solskjær, my other coach and, specially, my choreographer. Kollsvein was Arkin's cousin but he was an excellent coach. I needed all the help that I can get from my coaches to work on the free programme. In the last championship I took some risks and in two or three times I almost fall after a jump and it got me the bronze medal. Arkin asked me to do the short programme, one last time. That time I made it without problems. For the free programme we choose the Concerto #3 by Sergei Rachmaninoff. It wasn't easy, but I love a good challenge. The rest of the afternoon was only training, with two-minute intervals for rest. At that training I must had fallen a few times and I think that was one of the must hard trainings I ever did. I couldn't let that details affect me, so what I always said: Let It Go.
I got home all sore from falls I had given. Fall on ice hurts more than it seems. I couldn't even go to my room and I still had the bag to do. I fall on the living room couch, completely exhausted. It were 07:00 pm and I already want to fall asleep, but my cell phone rang.
"Hvem ri helvet ringer meg nå? (Who the hell is calling me now?)" I grumbled. I was tired and I badly moved but I had to attend.
"Yes."
"Hello Elsa." Was Olaf.
"Hey brother, you already done?"
"Yes, I just wanted to warn you but by your voice, the training was hard."
"A little, but it has to be. I'm going to pick you up."
"Okay. See you later Elsa."
"See you later Olaf."
I'm going to be honest, I didn't want to get off the couch, but I had to go pick up my brother. I got up from the couch. But suddenly, someone grabbed me on my shoulders and pulled me back to the couch. I must say I wasn't surprised when I saw you had done that. "Anna, what the hell was that?"
"Sorry sis, but you're not in condition. The training was hard?"
"A little."
"Elsa, you think I born yesterday?"
"Oh, c'mon Anna!"
"C'mon Anna nothing. You stay here, I'll get Olaf."
"At least you know where you left your keys?" Anna was a little distracted. "This time I know." She showed me the keys to her motorbike, an Honda CBR 250R, which was my present for her eighteenth birthday. "Thanks Anna." I said.
"You're welcome. I'll picking up Olaf and you still have the bag to do."
"Since when you're my mother, may I know?" Both started laughing. Anna gave me a hug and she went for pick up Olaf. I got up and went to my room to prepare the bag. I had to go to Helsinki, in Finland, within a week. It was there that would accomplish the European Figure Skating Championships in that year.
After dinner, I dressed my pyjama and I went right in to the bed. I still was very sore and I needed rest. I went to bed but I'm not really sure why, I couldn't sleep. I used to fall asleep fast. It should be anxiety. I could hardly wait for the Championship start, be able to represent my country with my colleagues, try to bring home the gold medal and raise the flag of Norway on the highest mast.
My dream was closer to come true.
