It all started when we were woken up by our parents. They told us something was going on and we had to come to the main ballroom. That's when the game began. My name is Elsa… And I am a part of the most terrifying game of hide and seek known to man.
" Anna! Don't hide there!" I yelled to my younger, redheaded sister. She didn't known about my powers and what I could do, but, I would have to use them at some point. I could feel it.
" Why? " She called back to me, tilting her head.
" Because that's the first place the thing will look! Come on, follow me! " I grabbed Anna's hand and led her down a dark hallway, one that was rarely tread. It was the hallway to our parents room.
No one ever went down there, aside from our parents. I heard a low growling sound coming from the hallway, my feet skidding to a stop. Anna bumped into me from behind, apologising about a thousand times. After I finally got her to be quiet, we turned and ran down the other way, the way we came.
" What was down there? " Anna asked, curious to know why I had run away from the hallway.
" I don't know, " I explained. " But it seemed angry. Come on. We need more practical clothing. "
We headed to my room, even though that was a place it would look. We didn't know exactly what 'it' was, but, our father explained that it would kill us if we didn't beat it in time.
I pulled Anna into my room, tearing off my dress. I grabbed the suits our father had given us in case something bad ever happened and we needed to be able to run. I think this is why we had them. I quickly put it on, throwing Anna hers. She put it on just as quickly as I did and we exited my room as quickly as we had come.
We ran down the hallway, past Anna's room, towards another hallway no one dared to tread. This was the servants quarters. We figured whatever was after us wouldn't find us here, since it was barely big enough for us to squeeze through side by side.
" Maybe we should hide wherever Mum and Dad hid? " Anna whispered, looking me in the eyes. " That would be the best option, Elsa. "
" Anna, they said they were going to give themselves up to it. It's just us now. We have to hide and they have to protect. They're our parents. "
Anna lowered her head, looking at her feet. She didn't say anything, but, I could tell she was crying.
" Hey, Anna, don't cry. It's okay. We'll get through this. We'll beat it and get out alive. I promise. " I smiled, lifting her head. Thank the heavens that my suit had come with gloves. " Come on. We have to find a room to hide in. "
Anna nodded, wiping her tears off of her face. We searched, picking a room at the very back of the hallway.
" We should be safe here for now. Unless whatever it is can fit in this hallway… "
