Chapter 4
Elsa felt something again in both her hand and her whole body. This is a dream wake up! She closed her eyes and opened them again to still see Anna's hand holding hers. Frost was beginning to coat the hospital rooms walls. It wasn't intimidating, the ice was spreading in beautiful delicate designs, almost dancing as it's covering the room. If someone were to walk in at any second, they would awe at the art work.
"Anna, are y-you there?" Elsa was having trouble comprehending what was going on. "I think I can feel you occasionally, but this is- oh my god. I need to get someone." She's smiling and chuckling to herself, "Oh my god. Maybe she doesn't need to be woken up by the doctors."
Still smiling the blonde was about to get up, "No I can't. I need to stay, she's here," I hope. "I can't leave that. U-um…"
She looked around the room urgently to find something useful. Elsa looked on the sides of the bed for a button, she checked Anna's other side, there was a remote. "Of course it would be on the other side of the bed," she mumbled. Elsa carefully reached over Anna's body making sure their hands stayed connected.
She stretched but felt a sharp pull in her stomach making her eyes water a bit, "Damn it." She remembered the first time the stitches broke. Elsa slowly lifted up her shirt with her one free hand, "Please be no blood, please be okay." Elsa was relieved to see no blood, she took a deep breath and closed her eyes. "Thank you."
Elsa still felt the dull now throbbing pain, not attempting to reach over like she did previously, she made adjustments. Elsa put one knee cautiously on the bed to avoid the wires and was able to successfully reach the remote. She got the remote and sat back down, the tension in her abdomen began to relax. There was one red button that had a white cross on it. Red with a cross, this has to be the one to call doctors.
Elsa pushed it and waited for the doctor to come in. A strange feeling entered her chest, Elsa looked from their hands to see Anna's eyes flutter open and then shut. Just as quick as the miracle happened, Anna's hand went limp and went back to the stagnant state she's been in for the past week. Elsa still felt that something throughout her body.
"No. You were just -ugh!" Panicked she started to click the remote button multiple times. "Come on! You doctors are supposed to be quick responders!"
The room was getting colder, not from fear but frustration. "Hang in there Anna." Elsa did notice the room dropping, yet was unfazed, she tried to think of a way to warm Anna's hand up. No ideas came to mind, except a blanket on her chair. She put it around her sister. Elsa was about to get up and find someone herself.
Dr. Stein came in with two other nurses, "Did her vitals change?" He looked at Elsa out of her chair, " or is this just one of your generation pranks?"
Elsa looked at him in shock but he continued his speech that seemed to take an eternity, which involved his time and other patients who can use it. She got fed up and cut him off, "No for fuck sake! This is not a prank, not all of us are assholes. She held my hand opened her eyes!"
He walked over to Anna, "The body is full of nerves and parts of the body has its reflexes." He took a pen from his pocket and touched her hand. Her hand flexed and went back to normal. "It was just a reflex, but her brain has been healing nicely. Ms. Adelaide you have nothing to worry about, I'm guessing she will be well enough by the end of this week, to be woken up."
"B-but her eyes-"
"Miss, it was a reflex. But I promise her eyes will be open by this week."
Elsa felt like something was about to burst, but then she heard something. Elsa. She relaxed, and it happened again. Elsa. It was Anna, "Did you hear that!? She just said my name!"
Dr. Stein looked at her, "Ms. Adelaide. Please-"
Elsa, there it was again, "How can you not hear that?" The doctors face was concerned. They think I'm crazy! "Nevermind I'm overreacting," she tried nervously laugh, they can't kick me out right now.
"Well, um, Miss I'll have a nurse come back in to tell you when visiting hours are over." He looked dumbfounded, like he was truly looking at a crazy person.
Screw you, if only I can just freeze your ass, I'm not stupid, "Thank you doctor." She stared him out the door.
Elsa was left alone in the ICU room. The room stayed as it was before just swirls, no icicles from anger or blizzards. It surprised her, considering how angry she got. Anna really had held her hand and opened her eyes, I'm not crazy.
"Oh Anna. I know you're in there, you'll be awake soon." Elsa had school tomorrow she missed the first week because of the accident. "I have school tomorrow a new one too. I don't know what I'll do without you. The funeral was hard, yes, but I had people there to support me and whom I was kinda comfortable with."
Elsa made the frost mostly recede. She looked back at Anna, admiring how perfect she is, even with all the wires and noises around her. She always wished she looked more like her, normal skin and hair. Elsa knew that Anna loved her ice, but she would do almost anything to have a day when she was just normal.
"I wish I looked like you, it would make my life so much easier. You know my problems at school, I'm bullied because of my appearance. Freak, Ice Queen, Anna," Elsa chuckled, "It's ironic they call me that, if only they knew.
"You won't be there to punch them in the face like you did at our old school, or get me out of the dumpster. Anna I'm going to need you there somehow, like today. I don't know what I would be done to that man, I never been that mad before. You were always the aggressive one." Elsa was smiling again at her sister.
"I should've been the one protecting you. Not the other way around. I'm not saying I wanted you to be bullied instead of me, if you were I would easily take your place. But I'm older, you know how that supposed to work... You shouldn't have to be in here, missing your first day of school."
"Well I have to leave early, I got to go to the store and get some chicken for dinner. I promise I'll still come visit and make time for you. If I don't come, know I'll be thinking about you." She decorated Anna's bed with some ice designs, content with her work, "There, now you won't have to be awake in a boring bed if you get to wake up earlier." Love you, Anna." She kissed Anna's cheek and left the room.
Elsa's alarm went off, waking her for the start of a hopefully good day. She realized she didn't shower yesterday, with a grunt she moved off her bed into the shower. Also hoping to relax her nerves, which created a build up of frost on her bed.
After getting out she looked in her closet, or boxes since she didn't feel like putting all of her clothes on hangers. Elsa finally decided to wear high waisted pants, a teal sweatshirt, and black and white Converse.
When she arrived at school she saw the many variety of cliques. Elsa got out of the car and successfully avoided any confrontations on her way to the main office to get her schedule.
Elsa's first class was math, calculus, her best but least favorite subject. She didn't understand the use for it but when some thought was put into it, the world uses it quite often.
The principal, Mr. Feders, gave Elsa a map to help her navigate the halls of Corona High. It's like a castle in here, two stories high. Anna will love this!
Looking at the map she was on the right floor but the class was all the way down the hall. Still avoiding contact with people, she was three classrooms down-
"Hi there!" came a load but yet cheerful voice. It scared Elsa and made her binder frost over slightly. Shit. Great start Elsa. Anna help me please… Elsa turned around trying to put the binder quickly away. To see what scared her, Elsa turned around to see a girl with long golden hair, which dragged on the floor behind her in a braid.
The girl was just staring at her in shock, she snapped pit of her trance "Hi my name's Rapunzel!"
Elsa looked at her realizing this was the first person to greet her at this school, she attempted to be open, "Um...hi. My name's El-"
"Thanks great come with me!" Rapunzel said in a whisper.
Elsa tried to pull back, "No please I need to go to class-" The girl had some strength and didn't stop dragging Elsa through the doors. I am so fucking screwed she saw what I did! She's going to tell the whole school. "Oh god…"
Elsa was dragged all the way to an empty area of the campus, expecting to be shoved to ground. A perfect area for bullying. She was shaking and breathing in and out, trying to control her ice. There was no use in that, her other belongings were covered in a layer of frost.
Anna please! Elsa tried thinking of her twin waiting for her at the end of the day, it helped calm her down but the ice didn't recede. She opened her eyes to see the girl smiling at her, not screaming or scared.
"You were new and I wanted to introduce myself but I thought I was the only one! " She screamed and echoed through Elsa's ears, which felt like they could bleed.
"Huh?"
The strange girl, Rapunzel, started to hum. At first Elsa thought she met the craziest person in school, until her hair began to glow. It started at the roots and traveled all the way to the end of her braid.
"Wow I feel like an asshole." Elsa mumbled, for prejudice and knowing how it felt from her own experience.
"What did you say?" Rapunzel asked with a smile.
Elsa realizing she said that out loud, "Oh. Um nothing."
"Okay well your turn!"
"Um...W-what are you t-talking about?" Elsa stammered.
"Ugh your magic! Come on I'm not afraid." Rapunzel stared at Elsa with green eyes that really did show not fear at all. She didn't look harmful, she honestly kinda reminded her of Anna. She looked familiar but couldn't put her finger on it.
"Um no. I'm sorry I have to go. Nice meeting you." Elsa tried to get away but she stepped in front of her and shifted every way she tried to go. "What do you want?" I am a jerk.
"I just want to see a tiny bit of what you did earlier. I won't tell anybody, I promise. I never break a promise." She said this with most sincerity Elsa believed she has ever seen, beside Anna.
"You already saw a tiny bit of what I did earlier so why do you insist on more?" She began to feel a bit irritated but I saw her excitement fade. Nope, I am an asshole, no wonder they call me the Ice Queen. Elsa made a swirl of snow in her hand, "Okay there. Can I go now? I really need to get to class."
"Oh my goodness! We have to talk more later! I can't believe this, I can't believe this!" She yelled in that high pitched scream again. "What's your first class?"
"Math."
"Oh my goodness! Me too! I'll introduce you to all our friends!" Our?
She took Elsa through the halls they came through and this time she had a chance to look at the grand campus. Old and expensive painting hung on the corridors. One was Joan of Arc, Anna's idol.
They finally arrived to Mr. Salazar's class. Rapunzel took her to the back of the class. A tall blonde stood up, Elsa cringed, preparing for impact. I knew it.
"Hey, hey. I'm not going to hurt you!"
Elsa opened her eyes to meet his gentle brown ones.
"Punz, am I really that scary?" He looked at Rapunzel then back at Elsa. "Oh I'm Kristoff. Sorry if I scared you, I always knew I was ugly but" It made Elsa laugh a bit, which made him smile. "See I'm not bad."
Two others tried to look around Kristoff, "Hey Reindeer King, can we say hi to her too!" Kristoff sat back down chuckling. "Hi my name's Jasmine. Nice to meet you…"
Elsa quickly introduced herself "Oh um I'm Elsa." She was still nervous but they were welcoming enough, so she only had frost on her hands, which she immediately tucked into her hoodie.
The boy next to her reached his hand out but pulled it back when Jasmine kicked him under the desk, "Hi nice to meet you Elsa. I'm Aladdin, Jasmine's boyfriend."
Elsa relaxed a bit and gave a smile "Nice to meet you too."
Rapunzel hooked her hand through Elsa's, "Welcome to the Outcasts! We may just be the greatest people you'll ever meet."
Anna this isn't so bad but I still can't wait for you to be here with me. Elsa was smiling at her new companions, "Nice to meet you all."
At the end of class they wakes out and went their separate ways, "See you after school Elsa!" Aladdin called.
Not long after that, what she feared and dreaded happened. A deep red haired boy walked up to her, "Hey your the new girl. Why were you talking to those weirdos?"
Elsa didn't know what to say, but a group of girls showed up. "Hans relax she's new and can't you tell she's nervous? Look at her."
"My apologies, Hans at your service." He tried to take her hand and kiss it. Luckily the girl stepped in again.
"Hi I'm Cinderella. These are my two sisters Anastasia and Drizella." The two girls waved. "Don't let him intimidate you, he's very…" she looked at her sisters.
"Handsome."
"Charming."
Elsa looked at them and realized he really was attractive, but not her type. Her thoughts were thrown off when Cinderella snapped at her sisters.
"No! Ugh nevermind. Useless."
How could you talk to your sisters like that? Elsa was shocked at her words, she can get mad at Anna but she would never talk to her like that. Elsa felt the tingle through her body, she could freeze her where she stood, Elsa. She was snapped out of it. Anna "Um I have to go to class."
"Oh yes of course. Hurry on now. Don't be late," she smiled as Elsa turned to walk towards her next class.
Elsa finished her first day and was on her way to her car. Rapunzel snuck up behind her and instantly apologized, "Elsa I am so sorry!" She looked at Elsa, "No frost?"
Elsa took her hand out of her sweater to show the other blonde the frost covered hands.
"Oh. Sorry."
"No it's okay. I was just heading to my car."
Rapunzel smiled and hooked her arm with Elsa's, "Well, want to come sit with us for a bit. Aladdin is still waiting for his ride. We don't like to leave a man behind."
Elsa gave a smile with a nod, "Sure." I didn't forget about you Anna. I won't be long.
They settled down at the table with Aladdin, Jasmine, and Kristoff. There was another girl there, dark hair and skin, green eyes. She was beautiful. The group looked so happy and it gave Elsa a warm feeling.
Jasmine gave her a smile, "Hey girl. How'd your first day go?"
Elsa didn't want to bring up the Cinderella incident, "It was good."
The girl with the green eyes smiled and held out her hand, "Hi I'm Esmeralda. Nice to meet you. Elsa, right?"
"Hi nice to meet you, I'm Elsa. Wait you already knew that, or else you wouldn't have been asking if my name was Elsa. You're beautiful. I'm sorry I didn't mean to- Shit I'm becoming my sister, ugh sorry," Damn it Elsa! She put her hands on her head but didn't realize her hands were still coated in ice, visible to the group.
The group turned their heads to Rapunzel. Kristoff spoke first, "You didn't tell me she had powers, Punz!"
"Oh my god, Punzie! I new somehow you weren't the only one in the world with powers besides-"
Elsa looked up and saw her hands were frosted over. She looked at the group and ran away, leaving a trail of frost.
"See what you did!" Esmeralda ran to catch Elsa. "Elsa stop!"
Damn this chick is fast. Unfortunately years of running from her bullies kept her in a good shape. She was tackled to the ground and looked up to see the gorgeous green eyes.
"Let me go! Please I can hurt you!" Anna help me somehow please!
The girl didn't move she stayed on top of Elsa despite the ground freezing over. A few seconds later, calmness took over her body, she relaxed and felt the ice melt. It wasn't Anna, this was voice not a feeling, but not her sisters voice either.
"Shhh. Its okay. No one will say anything or hurt you. Just listen to my voice. Deep breaths."
Elsa opened her eyes again to notice Esmeralda sitting next to her with her eyes closed. Moving her mouth but no words coming out except the one in her head.
Esmeralda opened her eyes this time and smiled, "You're welcome. I have powers too I guess, telepathy or something like that. Come on." Elsa nodded and got up with the help of Esmeralda.
They arrived at the table once more and looked guilty.
"Elsa we are so sorry. We didn't know but I'm guessing Punz here promised you Huh?" Jasmine asked.
Elsa realized she meant what she said, "No need to apologize, I'm not used to any of this," she jestered to her companions, friends.
Aladdin in return said, "We are misfits and outcasts. We don't judge people, we've learned from experience."
"That's why I decided to make our group the Outcasts," Esmeralda pointed out. "I'm sure we would love to hear your story, but you have to be somewhere don't you?"
"Y-yeah I'm sorry. Please forgive me for leaving early. Thank you for everything guys."
"No problem, see you tomorrow," they all smiled as she went to her car. With one wave through her window she drove off to visit her sister.
Okie dokie. We know that was just mumble jumble random stuff thrown in there again we aren't writers. As always advice is appreciated!
This kinda came to our mind of wanting to have some romance involved. There has to be more people like Elsa and Rapunzel right?
If you caught it there will be some Mean Girl stuff every now and then. ;)
Wow that was literally a ramble. Well more chapters coming your way of course! May take long though our fall semester is starting soon, but we do promise more! Thanks people!
