CHAPTER ONE
I never thought this would happen. How could i have done this?
In the cold floor was my sister Anna, unconscious, blood flooding from her head. She was cold and hurt, all thanks to me. My parents, horrified by the situation in hand, i never thought i could have ever seen them look at me in that way, you could see disappointment written all over their faces.
My dad immediately took anna in his arms and took her to the hospital my mom trailing right behind him and I tried to catch their pace as quick as I could with my short legs, only being 5 years old.
We got to the hospital and anna was treated immediately.
Hours passed, waiting for any news from anna. All i could think of was how could i have caused so much pain to my little sister? Why did someone like Anna had to go through this?.
This is all my fault, i thought while a tear ran down my cheek remembering the accident while my mom held me tightly in her arms...
Flashback
We were going to a new ice rink in town. We were really excited, but nobody was excited as me.
I loved the cold and specially ice skating. It has always been my favorite thing the the world. I really couldn't wait to try some new tricks and even maybe teach some moves to anna too. Even though she is only three.
We walked there since it was only a few minutes away. All i did was goofing around with anna playing with the snow along the way. We had snowball fights and we even got to build a snowman!. It was really a while we arrived at the Walt disney ice rink. Was it huge and so beautiful . I could see many families walking in and out of the rink. Once we stepped inside you could see how my eyes sparkled at how excited i was feeling in that moment all the people skating around doing amazing tricks, laughing and cheering. I was ready to jump in, so was anna she was super giddy jumping up and down.
"Ooh i wanna skate momma can we, can we? Pleeeaseeee!" Said anna tugging on my moms skirt while i just giggled at her behavior.
"Of course, lets just our skates first sweetie." Said my mom while smiling sweetly at anna, who simply responded with a "yay!".
We all got our skates and got in the rink my mom was holding annas hand while my dad was holding mine. We all skated gracefully, well almost all of us. Anna still had some problems with keeping her balance but my mom was there to help her every time.
We did this for an hour or so, then we got hungry and headed for the food court. I sat with anna in a table while my mom and dad went to order the food.
"Elsa, take care of your sister. We will be right back, your mother and I are going to order some food."
"Ooh ooh i want some hot chocolate!" Said anna
"Me too, please" I said
"Two hot chocolate's coming right up" smiled my dad before he walked off with my mom to order.
I simply sat down and waited patiently, anna sat right next to me trying to do the same, but she couldn't.
"Ugh this is boring I wanna have some fun elsie" said anna.
"What do you want to do?" I said.
"I wanna skate again!" Anna said while smiling widely.
"We cant anna, poppa told us to stay here while they get the food." I said
"But i wanna skate" pouted anna, making a puppy face
I blocked her face with my small hand " No anna, we cant." I said trying to look away.
"Pleeeeasee" she pleaded while she stood in front of me so i could she her puppy face perfectly.
I sighed "fine, but only for a little while." I said
"Yay!" She said and held my hand while leading the way to the ice rink, we were already wearing our skates so there was no problem.
The ice rink was empty so we had it all for ourselves. But yet i couldn't help but feel like this was a bad idea.
We got in the rink and started skiing i held anna's hand just in case.
We played and laughed a lot, i started to make small twirls with her and she giggled wildly.
"Faster, faster!" Said anna, and i did without thinking of what could happen next. Then our hands started to slip and we got separated, and anna fell on the floor, and she wasn't moving.
I panicked i rushed to anna and held her head, watching horridly as the blood started to creep out.
"Momma, poppa!" I screamed, hoping they would hear me. My parents came in and as soon as they saw us, they started to panic too.
"Elsa what have you done" said my dad while my mom held anna tightly against her chest, i didn't know what to say or do... I was scared...
End of flashback
Cleaning the tear from my cheek i saw how my dad was pacing in the waiting room, when the doctor came out from where anna was we all stood up waiting for any news.
"How is she?" Asked my dad
"Well she is okay, but she has gotten short memory loss" said the doctor sadly.
Which means she lost memory of the accident, thankfully that was the only thing." Continued the doctor.
My parents were hugging each other while i was in the middle. But i couldn't help but ask:
"She wont remember anything from today?" I said sadly, still feeling guilty.
" yes, but don't worry, everything will be alright" he said trying to comfort me.
After a few hours we were able to take anna home, and my parents told me that we were going to keep a secret what happened today, so that anna would have a healthy life, not having in her memory the horrible accident.
I agreed, anything for anna. I thought.
But yet I didn't feel the same around her every time i saw her it simply reminded me of what happened that day, of what i did to her.
I decided that it was best for me to stay away from anna. We separated our rooms and I tried to not make any contact with her.
Every day she would show up my door telling me to play with her, and to let her in but I always declined.
I could hear the disappointment in her voice every time I did. It simply broke my heart.
"Its for the best" I said to myself.
