The moon shone down through the trees towering overhead and littered the ground with specks of light. Anna sat against the wall of the cabin as she scanned the surrounding forestry. It had been about two weeks since Elsa and Cinder had been captured. The group spent most of their time just hanging out and practicing with their bows. There wasn't much talking done. It felt like one big waiting game, a very unpredictable waiting game. No one knew what would happen next. Would they be found by the invaders? Would everyone in town be dead? Would the area be bombed or something?
The group was setting completely in the dark and frankly Anna was pretty sick of it. She needed to know about Dove, Cinder, her mom… She needed to know that they were all safe. She was about ready to make a move. She heard the cabin door open and she looked over shining her flashlight at the dark figure. "Oh, hey Merida," Anna said turning her flashlight back off. "Hey Anna, it's my turn to take over watch," Merida says leaning against the wall next to Anna. "Nah it's ok Merida. Go ahead and go back in. I'm sure Mulan misses you."
Merida chuckled saying, "She's asleep. She won't miss anyone for a while." Anna chuckled and breathed a sigh saying, "Well… I'm about ready to go check out what's up in town." Merida slides down next to Anna saying, "Yeah me too. Mulan has been pretty upset over Cinder. She's afraid of the worst." Anna shrugged asking, "Aren't you? I mean we literally are clueless about everything right now." Merida bumped her shoulder against Anna's playfully replying, "I thought you were the optimist? Aren't you leaning towards the best outcome?"
Anna raised an eyebrow. "Is that what everyone thinks?" She asked looking at the dark shape next to her. "Yep," Merida replied, "That's why they're all looking to you. You could say you're the leader of whatever the hell we're supposed to be." Anna laughed dryly and replied, "Not a position I'm crazy about." Anna heard a twig snap in the distance and both teens stood quickly. Merida took the flashlight and Anna drew back an arrow. Merida shined the flashlight towards the noise. The beam found and a little girl.
She looked to be about four at the most. She was barefoot and wore a tee shirt the hung down to her knees. She had a pair of kitten ears poking out of the top of her hair. Anna assumed she was just wearing them. They looked to be white matching the girl's hair. The beam of the flashlight caused the child's grey eyes to sparkle. Quickly Anna set her bow aside and knelt down. "Come here sweetie. I promise we aren't going to hurt you," Anna cooed comfortingly.
The girl hesitated before quickly dashing into Anna's welcoming arms. Anna encircled the child in a hug as she nuzzled into Anna's neck with a soft purr. "M… m… mommy?" The child cried softly into Anna's shoulder. "Did you get separated and lost?" Anna asked softly as she stroked the child's hair calmingly. "Anna," Merida said her voice filled with awe. The flashlight was focused on the girls back. Anna looked down and sucked in a breath. The girl had a lengthy white tail. "M… mommy?" the girl asked staring at Anna with scared eyes.
Anna chuckled and met the child's fearful gaze. "It's okay little one, I think you're adorable. I never caught your name?" Anna spoke gazing at the girl comfortingly. "Hey! Where are you at runt?" comes a woman's voice in the distance. Anna stood up and picked up the child holding her protectively. Merida stuck the flashlight in her mouth and took the bow aiming towards the voice. A woman appeared wearing what looked like a lab coat. She saw Anna holding the girl and Merida with a bow.
"You should really really put the child down ma'am," the woman said in a warning voice. "Why is that?" Anna asked narrowing her gaze at the woman. "That child, no that monster, is very dangerous. It was the first and only in what was to be a series of experiments. The formula was injected as it grew in the mother's womb. It caused her ears to be replaced as well as caused her to grow a tail as a side effect. It's original purpose served by giving her access to… certain… abilities. About two weeks ago, there was an argument over to… eliminate… it or not. The project went ballistic and killed the entire facility. It was found and made an escape. I followed it here."
Anna looked at the girl she held. The little one cowered away from the woman and clung to Anna. "D… don't l… let t… them h… h… huwt me a… anymowe," The child begged her ears lying flat on her head. Anna looked at Merida and asked, "Merida… What do you think?" "M… Mewidah?" the girl asked looking towards the Scot. The curly redhead smiled gently and lowered the bow reaching out slowly to the girl. "That's right," Merida cooed, "I'm auntie Merida. Don't worry little one. We won't let you get hurt." She caressed the child's cheek. Then the world was black.
-Scene Cut-
At first everything is a haze of brightness and the cries of a baby. Then there's a slideshow of scientists doing all kinds of experiments to the helpless child. The girls cries are constant. Finally it stops.
Anna wakes in a white room on a cold steel table in the middle of the bright room. What's going on? Am I seeing the girl's memories, Anna wonders. She struggles against the binds and whimpers seeing the familiar window. There are a bunch of people watching her through it. "Please!" She cried fighting the restraints, "Please stop huwting me!" The door opened and a scientist enters with a tray of needles and other painful looking tools. The girl cries and tries to get away from the man. The man looked towards the glass. "You may commence with the termination of subject zero. It has come to the end of its usefulness," comes a familiar female voice over an intercom. "You can't be serious! She's barely four!" The man exclaims in shock. "IT IS A MONSTER! You will terminate it or we will terminate you're family." The man looks at the girl with pity. He picked up the blade and advanced on the girl. The girl screamed and begged staring at the window. Anna spotted a particularly familiar face. Anna's vision turns red and her ears are filled with the sounds of screams of other people.
Everything fades to black and suddenly Anna's senses are returned. She sees is Elsa picking her up. "What happened to you? Where did you come from?" Elsa asked softly. Elsa smiled at the girl asking, "What's your name little one? Where's your momma?" The girl looked down whispering, "I don't have a momma." Elsa smiled gently and caressed the girls cheek whispering, "I'll be your momma then, until we can find your real momma." The girl grinned widely and hugged Elsa's neck. "Momma," She mumbled testing the word. She burst into a fit of giggles and hugged tighter. "Momma!" She exclaimed happily. "Yup. I'm momma and you're my little… Sasha. Your name is Sasha," Elsa proclaims proudly.
Everything is black again and Anna's senses are returned once more. Sasha sits on Elsa's lap staring at a picture of Anna on Elsa's phone. "This is Sasha's mommy?" Sasha asks tilting her head back to look at Elsa. "Yes," Elsa replies sadly kissing Sasha's forehead. "Why are you sad momma? Where is mommy?" Sasha asks softly. Elsa chuckles replying, "Momma's just sad because she misses Mommy. But, Mommy is safe. I just wish she would hurry home." "Can Momma show Sasha how to get to where Mommy is?" Sasha asks twisting in Elsa's lap. "Of course baby," Sasha reaches up touching Elsa cheek with her tiny hand. Darkness takes over once more.

Anna jerked away and sat up quickly looking around. "Shit! Their awake!" Mulan called out. Anna relaxed realizing she was in the cabin. Merida looked to be in Anna's state. She turned around looking at Anna. "Did you see it too?" She asked. Anna nodded and then her eyes went wide. "Where's Sasha?!" She exclaimed getting up anxiously. There was a rush as the cabin was filled with her friends. "Mommy!" She heard Sasha exclaim as she dashed up to Anna. Anna knelt down pulling her into a hug. "Did Mommy see? Sasha showed Mommy my memowies." Sasha proclaimed proudly as she nuzzled into Anna's neck.
Anna stroked Sasha's hair and the small child wagged her tail happily. Anna kissed the top of the child's head saying, "I guess I am your mommy huh? Remind me to scold your momma for adopting without my permission." Anna could feel the gazes of the others on the pair. "Otay Mommy!" Anna stood and scooped up the little kitten/girl in her arms. Sasha yawned deeply mumbling, "Sasha's weally tiwed now…" Anna sat back on the bed and leaned against the wall relaxing. She couldn't take her eyes of the little child as she quickly passed out.
"Where's that scientist bitch at so I can tear out her fucking throat?" Anna heard Merida growl. She glanced up as Sven, Kristoff, and Elinor followed Merida outside. Mulan joined Anna on the bed. "Wow… Looks like your taking all this in perfect stride… From what I've seen her she's telepathic or something. She was like picking up firewood and stuff without actually touching it. Oh we even took turns guessing numbers and she got them right every time. It was epic," Mulan stated looking down at the sleeping child.
"That's good. I'm glad you guys were nice to her. If you hadn't been I would be kicking butts cause… You should see the things I do. Sasha shared all of her memories with Merida and I. The screams they're there constantly. I hear her screams even now constantly. They're constantly in my ears. It's like I can feel the needles and knives and-"Anna broke off with a sob, "I can see the bastards as they're torn to pieces in front of my- her- eyes… Sorry it's kinda hard to separate the memories. It's sorta like there are two different people in my mind. It sucks. Anyways, back to the important stuff. Elsa found her and basically adopted her." Anna stopped to catch her breath and wipe her eyes.
She took a couple of minutes to recover, while she absent mindedly stroked Sasha's hair. "Elsa accepted her just like that and they spent so much time together. I understand this little one. I understand her completely. How can you not love something you understand so well?" Mulan reached out gingerly and paused with her hand halfway to Sasha. "May I?" Mulan asked. "Of course, you and Cinder are her aunts after all. Cinder literally took one look Sasha and she was smitten. I think you should be jealous." Mulan chuckled and tweaked one Sasha's ears playfully causing the girl to mewl in her sleep. "So far I think I could get used to having the kid around," Mulan said with a chuckle.
A/N: Yeah I gave my two favorite ladies a daughter. Deal with it! It was just too good of an opportunity to pass. I was having writers block over this story, so I just spent hours thinking it over. I actually had it half done before I got the idea and I was like OHMAHGAWD THIS IS HAPPENING! So it happened. All reviews are welcome. I love you all! ^_^
P.S. Slow updates for a while... probably... maybe... expect it...
