Chapter 1
11 year old princess Anna laid on the roof of the castle staring at the sky, 5 years, it had been 5 years since she had seen or played with her sister Elsa, all she heard was "go away Anna" and she was getting tired of it she looked at the clouds floating freely, freedom open gates the words were like candy to her she wanted the gates to be open again to have a playmate that wouldn't shut the door in her face but most of all she wanted Elsa to play with her, she felt tears begin to form in the corner of her eyes "maybe there's something wrong with me" she thought maybe thats why they closed the gates because something was wrong with her maybe thats why Elsa wouldn't play with her, no she couldn't think like this Elsa would play with her she just needed time yes thats it she is probably afraid of someth- "princess Anna its lunch time" she heard a voice call,"princess where are you?" she sighed and climbed/slid down the bricks that lined the roof and grabbed a rope that she had tied, slid down and climbed into her bedroom window, surprising the maid Gerda "oh princess' she scolded "how many times do I have to remind you about going on the roof" Anna smiled guiltily "a lot of times" Gerda shook her head "well looks like you're going to have to take a bath" Anna's smile turned into a look of horror she hated baths "but Gerda you know I don't like baths,oh well if you would stop getting yourself dirty then you wouldn't have to take baths so early" she led the girl to a bathroom and started to fill a tub with sat in a comfortable silence until Anna asked "Gerda why won't Elsa play with me?" Gerda paused searching for an answer "well she has to um well she has a lot of things to do so she has very little time to have fun" Anna sat quietly and watched her "so tell me what you did today, well I tried to climb up the wall" Gerda gave her a disapproving look but she let the girl talk "but I didn't get very far before the guards made me get down and I talked to Joanne, who is Joanne princess?" she asked stopping the water "well she's a painting" the maid felt her heart throb painfully in her chest but she smiled at the girl and said "your bath is ready". She helped Anna undress and noted how small the girl was,Anna climbed into bathtub and sat down Gerda set straight to work washing Anna's hair and pulling the leaves out " oh and papa taught me how to ride my horse I fell off him though a lot" " well that explains the leaves" Gerda thought. Taking her out and drying her off she combed her hair and put it in double braids picking a leaf green dress and slipped it on to Anna. "Are mama and papa going to join me?" she asked eagerly "they might" that answer was enough for her, she ran out of her room and slid down the stairs knocking down the suit of armor "oops sorry" running she reached the dining hall to find it empty her face fell and her lip quivered, her eyes shining with unshed tears slowly walking to the table she sat down and waited for her food to be served. The dining room door opened and she looked up,her face lighted up as she saw her parents enter but fell as she saw no Elsa. The king and queen sat down and the servants came in and served the food fish in lemon-butter sauce with corn and broccoli,Anna made a face she hated broccoli. "Anna don't make faces at the table" the queen softly said. They sat in silence the only sounds were the clinking of of knives and forks Anna felt uncomfortable " papa when will I see Elsa?" the king paused his fork halfway towards his mouth he put his fork down " not now Anna" "if not now then when?" the king remained silent " are you forcing her to do this or is she choosing to do this?" she asked looking at her food " Elsa chose to do this" the king said without thinking he instantly regretted it "so there is something wrong with me" she whispered "what?" " thats why you closed the gates thats why Elsa closed the door on me" she said louder "Anna thats no-" "why?, is it because I talk too much or because i can't go one second without tripping or breaking something or is it because i'm just a spare?" she asked bitterly " Anna that is enough" her mother said sternly, she stood up knocking her chair back " no its not you're keeping me away from my sister and the kingdom I talk to PAINTINGS for gods sake" the queen gasped "ANNA SIT DOWN" the king yelled "NO", she got up and ran out of the room tears streaming down her face she ran to Elsa's door she breathed trying to slow down her heart, she knocked on the door " I know she'll open the door this time"" Elsa please open the door" she paused holding her breath waiting for an answer she heard a faint voice " go away Anna" with that last word she felt her heart shatter new tears formed pooled and fell down her face sobs racked her body and her face contorted into one of anger "FINE" she shouted at the door " if you want me to go away i'll go away forever" as she ran from the door to her room she yelled "i hate you" and slammed the door, if she had stayed she would have heard the sobs would have heard the sorry's and pleas to come back but she didn't.
