Hello again. Welcome to the next chapter! I will most likely be adding one or two chapters a day. They are very short, and I already have about seven written out. After Chapter 7 it will probably take a little longer. I have time though, so the story should be finished within the week. I just thought you should know what to expect. Okay. Here we go.
I own nothing.
Chapter 3
The next day...
When Anna awoke she was in her parents' bed. Her mother sat on the edge of the bed, and looked relieved when her little girl's eyes met her own. Anna furrowed her brow in confusion, and sat up quickly. "Why am I here, Mama?" she asked. Her mother gently touched her tiny shoulders; trying to get her to lie back down.
"Please lie back down Anna," the queen pleaded. "You're making me nervous. You were very sick last night, and we didn't want you to get Elsa sick so we brought you in here." She softly passed her hand over the five year-old's hair; pausing at the white streak in it that frightened her so much. The queen felt guilty for lying to her daughter, but she reminded herself that it was for the best. Then she tried to make Anna lie down again; paranoid that she would suddenly have a relapse if she didn't rest up.
"I don't wanna lie down!" the little girl protested; squirming away from her mother and jumping down onto the floor.
"Anna please," her mother started as she moved towards her. Then Anna smiled; thinking her mother must have been playing a game with her.
"Catch me if you can!" she cried; running out of the room as fast as her tiny legs could carry her. Anna knew her mother would be quick enough to catch her, so she quickly rounded a corner and hid behind a knight's armor.
"Anna!" she heard her mother call desperately as she continued past her down the hall. The little princess silently giggled, and snuck quickly back the way she had come. Anna ran all the way back to her room, and opened the door so she could get Elsa in on the game.
"Elsa, come quick!" she called as she shoved the door open. "Mama and I are-" Anna's heart sank. All of Elsa's things were gone. It was as if she didn't exist. Anna pouted, and closed the door so she could get dressed. She sat on the floor and waited after she was dressed; hoping her sister would return soon, but nothing happened. Soon she heard footsteps, and a voice called her from the hallway.
"Anna?" Elsa called.
"Here I am!" she promptly answered. She dashed out into the hallway to meet her sister, but was met with the sight of her going into the room across the hall. "What are you doing?" Elsa stared at the white streak in her baby sister's hair, and reminded herself of the person she had to be. Her lip began to quiver as she made eye contact with Anna.
"I'm sorry Anna," she said. "We can't play together anymore. I just wanted to tell you that Mama and Papa are looking for you." Then she closed the door and locked it. Anna suddenly got mad. Elsa couldn't just stop playing with her. That wasn't fair. Anna was just about to start hitting the door and throwing a tantrum; as sometimes five year-olds did. She heard her parents calling for her though, so she quickly headed for the stairs.
She slid down the banister, and slipped out the first window she could find. The cool spring air calmed her a little, but she wasn't ready to go back to the castle just yet. Then Anna remembered something.
"Kristoff!" she exclaimed; remembering that she and Kristoff had planned to meet that day. The princess snuck around the back of the castle, and dragged out the two-seater bike that she and Elsa had shared. She couldn't ride very well yet so the bike had training wheels, but Anna knew it would be the fastest way to get where she wanted to go.
She snuck the bike through the palace gate as a cart was allowed in, and started peddling through the streets of Arendelle. Her troubles with Elsa all but forgotten, Anna rode to the spot where Olaf had first been built and waited for Kristoff to arrive. The last snow of winter was all but gone, but the large tree she hadn't noticed before would be a perfect marker for her and Kristoff to meet at. Anna decided right then that the tree would be only hers and Kristoff's.
"This is our little secret, so don't tell anyone," she whispered to the tree. "Not even Elsa."
Sorry. This was really just a bad chapter. I don't like the way it turned out. Maybe I'll come back and fix it, but I want to know what you think first. Please leave a comment!
