Chapter Two
Anna POV
In Which Anna Escapes the Palace
"Leave?" Elsa asked, stunned. "You mean, leave the palace?"
"Of course!" Anna giggled. "What else would I mean?"
"B-b-b-but..." Elsa protested, "What about my powers? What if I hurt you?"
"You won't hurt me!" Anna rolled her eyes. "We'll be really careful! We can go to the North Mountains, and live in a place where you don't have to live in fear!"
Elsa couldn't protest more. There was no stopping Anna now.
"Here's the plan." Anna began, as if she had been planning this forever- which she hadn't. "I'll escape tonight. I've been so bored these last four years, I can't even tell you, but now I know all the secret passages by heart. I can escape easily and hide somewhere on the grounds where no-one will find me. I'll wait a day, and then talk to you outside your window. If you can easily escape without anyone noticing, then we'll sneak out your window, grab a couple horses, then head up to the North Mountain. If we get fast horses, it should only take a day or two. By the time everyone notices you're gone, it'll be too late! They'll never find us!"
"I never agreed to this..." Elsa began.
"I didn't ask you too." Anna put her hand on the door. "Elsa, I can't live alone for the rest of my life. And now that I know this, I can't let you live in fear for the rest of yours. Trust me, if the plan goes wrong, it was all me."
Elsa sighed. "All you." she repeated, slowly and sadly.
Anna was a popular princess, so it was easy for her to go into the kitchen and get a week's supply of food without questions. A few of the cooks rolled their eyes and giggled at each other, but Anna managed to sneak it all into her bag. She packed her favorite clothes and toys, and then hid her bag under her bed. She figured that she wouldn't need weapons; Elsa had ice and snow powers, and could defend them easily. Anna then pulled out the map of the tunnels she had constructed, and studied it further.
That night, as she was finishing packing up her bag, there was a soft knock on the door. Anna shoved her bag under her bed and then laid on it, kicking her sheets carelessly. "Come in." she smiled nervously.
Anna's mother came in. Her brown hair was done up simply. "Hello, Anna." she called.
"Hey." Anna laughed. "How's it going?"
The Queen glanced around the room. "Why aren't you dressed for bed?"
"Didn't feel like it."
The Queen nodded. She didn't question Anna. "Well... goodnight."
"Goodnight, Mama." Anna waved as her mother suspiciously closed the door.
Anna grinned and slung her bag- with the map safely inside it- over her shoulder. She ran over to her wall and removed a plank of wood. There was a large passageway behind it, but it was a tight squeeze getting in. However, Anna managed it, and then put the plank back over the entrance. She took out her handheld clock. It was 8:34. I'll find Elsa at 10:00 tomorrow. Anna decided, and then continued down the passageway until she came to a large room that was just underneath Elsa's tower, according to her calculations.
Anna pulled out a lantern, lit it with two sticks she had packed, and then pulled out a book titled Oliver Twist. She started reading, knowing that she had a long time to wait.
(AN: Yeah, I'm assuming that Frozen takes place in our universe around 1850, so I put in Oliver Twist. Fun!)
