It's been three days since Elsa and her mother arrived in Arendelle and honestly she was ready to go home. Elsa came to every meal as requested but after she would leave and retreat back to her room. Anna would come and talk to her every so often but Elsa would just watch her talk trying to figure her out she wasn't like the maids Elsa had been around she could read them like a book. Anna she couldn't' read her eyes like she could other humans "Elsa I know your quiet but you're really quiet today I've been talking for two hours and you haven't' chimed in at all" Anna says. Elsa blinks "I'm sorry" Elsa says as she rubs her head Elsa is exhausted she hadn't slept since she fainted. Elsa looks over at Anna "Elsa are you alright I mean I know you have dark circles under your eyes but it looks like they've gotten worse" Anna says.
"I'm alright" Elsa says as she closes her eyes she hears Anna sigh "Look if you don't' want me around you can tell me I mean were total opposites" Anna says. Elsa opens her eyes "It's not that…Anna I'm not used to any of this" Elsa finally says lying back on the bed looking up at the ceiling. Anna watches Elsa and she lies back as well "What do you mean?" Anna asks. "At home I say in my room night and day and only come out when necessary the only people I talk to is Olaf my mother and the maids" Elsa says looking over at Anna. "Really you don't' have any friends?" Anna asks "Only Olaf" Elsa replies closing her eyes. Anna put a hand on Elsa's cheek "So you're like a recluse?" She asks. "Yes if you want to call it that" Elsa replies.
"Elsa tell me the truth when was the last time you slept" Anna says Elsa looks at her just then the door opens and both look over its their mothers "There you two are "Come along were going into town" Anna's mother says. Elsa closes her eyes "Do I have too" She finally asks. "Yes you've been in this room for three days you need to go out and enjoy the sun" Elsa's mother speaks. "Alright" She replies biting her lip as she get ups Elsa is in pants and a top she feels Olaf scurry up her back and sit on her shoulder. She gets up and they leave the palace Elsa is walking next to Anna, Anna seems happy but Elsa feels miserable.
After a little bit they stop under some shade Elsa looks around she is bored out of her mind. "Elsa?" Elsa looks up at Anna who just called her name "Yes?" She says "Do you want to go swimming? I mean it's really hot and you look miserable" She says. Elsa laughs "No I don't' swim" She says "How come?" Anna asks Elsa closes her eyes "Because I don't' know how to swim I never learned and I don't' have a desire to anytime soon" Elsa replies. She hears Anna sigh "Fine I'm going swimming with or without you I'll see you back at the castle" Anna says. Elsa hears hurt in her voice and she sighs "Fine I'll go and I'll watch" Elsa says getting up before Elsa can turn to say goodbye to the Queens Anna has her by the wrist dragging her along.
They finally arrive at the swimming hole Elsa stands there looking at the large pool of water. It's a beautiful teal color she looks over at the waterfall she then hears a splash and she turns her attention back to the water Anna had dived in. Elsa watches her Anna is starring at her smiling then Elsa feels someone pick her up "In you go" She hears a males voice said. "Kristoff wait don't…" Anna doesn't' finish her sentence as she watches Elsa being thrown in the water screaming. "SHE CAN'T SWIM" Anna screams as she starts to swim over to where Elsa had been thrown.
Elsa can't feel the bottom with her feet and her mind is panicking she's struggling she sees Olaf at the top swimming around of course he can swim and I can't Elsa thinks she's starting to sink faster and holding her breathe is getting hard she closes her eyes everything is getting fuzzy. Anna is in panic as she dives down Elsa isn't moving and she swims faster and faster till she reaches her. She pulls Elsa close and she swims to the top pulling Elsa's head up above water but then she notices she not breathing. Anna is swimming as fast as she can to get to her to the ground. Finally her feet reach the earth and she pulls Elsa with her till their out of the water she put Elsa on the ground and puts her hands over her chest trying to her save her. After a few times she see Elsa's eyes open and she starts to cough up the water turning on her side.
Anna looks over at Kristoff who is shocked she gets up and slams her fists into his chest "What were you thinking she could have died she could have drowned" She shouts. Anna stops her assault on him when she feels something tugging at her ear she looks over seeing Olaf but she doesn't see Elsa anywhere "Help me find her Olaf" Anna says the little white rat squeaks and jumps off her shoulder and Anna runs after him they stop at a tree Anna looks up to see Elsa. Elsa is on a branch holding herself and crying. "Elsa I'm sorry Elsa I didn't 'know he would do that" Anna says. But Elsa holds herself more and her crying gets harder.
It's been a day since the near death drowning incident Elsa in sitting on the bed her eyes closed she hears the door open and she feels someone sit on the bed but she doesn't open her eyes. She feels a warm hand on her cheek and she opens her eyes it's Anna "What do you want Anna" Elsa asks closing her eyes "I wanted to come see how you were feeling you didn't eat dinner last night or breakfast.. I'm worried about you" She said looking down. "Why you don't' even know me?" Elsa says opening her eyes. Anna looks down "I was really excited when you were coming I was finally going to get someone to talk to around my age….But now…All I do is get on your nerves you don't' say it but I can feel it…" Anna says she gets up "I won't' bother you anymore" Anna says as she heads to the door. Elsa bites her lip "Anna it wasn't' my first time having a near death experience" Elsa finally says.
Anna stops and turns around "What do you mean?" She asks as she slowly walks back over to the bed. Elsa pulls her shirt off and Anna looks at the scar at Elsa's heart "When I was five a sword went through my chest almost piercing my heart I almost died" Elsa said closing her eyes she opened them when she felt Anna kiss the scar "Elsa I'm sorry I'm so sorry" Anna says looking at Elsa "Those circles are getting darker please tell me the truth about your sleeping habit" She said. "I haven't slept since I woke up from fainting on the docks" Elsa says. "Elsa that's been four days ago how can you do that?" Anna asks.
Elsa puts the shirt back on "I only sleep maybe one night a week the only reason I sleep that day is because I can't fight it anymore I hate sleeping every time I close my eyes it's the same nightmare I wake up drenched in sweat" Elsa says she closes her eyes she feels Anna bring her head to her chest right over her heart. Elsa smiles a little at the heartbeat it's a sweet melody she feels Anna rubbing her back "I'll be right here Elsa get some sleep I'll keep the nightmares away" She whispers. Elsa nods "Okay" She whispers back as she falls asleep. Anna didn't notice Olaf scurry out of sight leaving the room.
Olaf scurries under a door both queens are talking Olaf scurries up the dress of Queen Tarja till he can reach the desk where he jumps off "I have a report" He says looking at both queens. "Oh do tell us Olaf" The Queen of Arendelle says "Elsa opened up to Anna she told her about her umm first near death experience and Anna has put Elsa to sleep" He says. Both looks surprised but smile "I think it's time Anna knows the truth" The queen of Arendelle says. "Do you think she can handle it okay?" Tarja asks "I think so let's go" Anna is holding a sleeping Elsa close to her chest she hears the door open and she looks over she sees her mother and Queen Tarja. She puts Elsa down on the bed and looks at them "Did I do something wrong?" Anna asks
She watches both of them take a seat "No there is something you need to know about the Ater royal family" Her mother says. Anna looks at her "What?" She asks curious now "Were vampires" Queen Tarja says Anna looks at them "That explains so much" She says both queens look at her "What do you mean?" Queen Tarja asks "Well the way you two are so graceful and it explains why Elsa's skin is cold to the touch" She says "Anna you cannot tell anyone about this" Her mother says "Why would I do that, I think I've just finally earned a little bit of Elsa's trust I don't' want ruin that" She says. "So do Elsa and you really drink blood?" Anna asks looking at Queen Tarja. "Yes though Elsa doesn't drink it like she should that is why she is tired all the time" She explains.
Anna looks down at the sleeping Elsa "What about the nightmare?" She asks "What nightmare?" Queen Tarja asks "I don't' know anything about it other than she won't' sleep because of it she told me before she passed out that she sleeps one night a week because of it" Anna says. "I'll have to ask when she wakes" She replies Anna nods and looks down both queens leave and Anna lays next to Elsa who seemed to nuzzle into her. Olaf scurries up the bed "Hey Olaf" Anna says "Hey" Olaf says Anna looks over "Did you just…" Anna is cut off "Yep" He says. "How?" She asks smiling looking at him as he scurries on her arm onto her shoulder. "I'm Elsa's animal familiar all familiar's can talk but we stay quiet around humans" He said.
"Does Queen Tarja have an animal familiar?" She asks "Yep but he stays in the shadows all the time it's a skill he learned" He said. "Wow what does an animal familiar do?" Anna asks "We protect our vampires" He said "How does a vampire get an animal familiar are they born with it or what?" Anna asks "At the age of five they get to choose an animal familiar and Elsa chose me" He said. "Mmm Olaf be quiet stop talking to Anna trying to sleep" Elsa says. Elsa opens her eyes when she registered the statement she just said looking up. "Olaf you were talking to Anna" Elsa says as she jerks up "She knows all about what you are Queen Tarja told her" Olaf says.
