It was a good idea to overpass the detective near his car. The guards were 50 meters away and she couldn't be seen if she hid behind trees or bushes.
The detective let out a yelp when Anna pulled him behind the tree.
"Shusssh… Anna covered his mouth. "Oh my God, you are the most vulnerable detective I've ever met." Once he looked at the kidnapper, he quickly prevented his partner to pull out his gun.
"Wait! It's the princess! Hold your gun, Sven."
"Wow, is that a real gun?" Anna curiously staring at the weapon.
"Of course it is… and don't even think about it. I don't trust your judgment now."
He turned his attention back to Anna, like others, his gaze went to the sling on Anna's arm.
"I'm fine." Anna answered before he asked. "I think you have business with me?"
He looked confused, "Princess… you don't remember me?"
This time it was Anna's turn to be shocked. "Do I know you? Oh my God… don't tell me you are actually my boyfriend or something. My amnesiac self won't capable to take that kind of information now."
He quickly shook his head, "oh my God, no! Not like that! It seems the queen was right. You don't remember anything."
Anna only stared on him. "So, who are you?"
"… ehm, my name is Kristoff? And this fella over here is my partner Sven. He doesn't talk much but very good with guns." Anna concluded that this detective was too proud in introducing his partner.
"Okay, I get it. How did we know each other?"
"It's kind of long story… and I'm not sure if we can talk here. Wall has ears you know. Gimme your phone number, then I will give you a safe line for us to communicate with each other." Kristoff suggested.
"Are you sure, it is not your way to flirt a vulnerable amnesiac beautiful girl?"
"There are two questionable adjective words in your sentence, princess. Besides, I'm not interested."
Anna didn't catch his meaning so she dismissed it. "My phone broke… my sister said she has thrown it away along with my bloody clothes."
Kristoff sighed, "They should've been included as evidence! I will give you mine then. Here." The blond detective handed out his name card.
"I was very worried about your accident. But we have a promise to keep with each other, so… I am very glad that you are alive. Also, it's very reassuring you keep that lovely personality of yours." He winked.
"Why everyone keeps saying that?" Anna whined.
After Kristoff gone, the redhead princess read the name card before finally putting it in to her jeans pocket.
The dull unforgiving throb on her arm reminded Anna to go search for her sister.

"Where you've been? Kai said you are not in your room."
Anna didn't expect to come across her sister on her way to her room.
"I was bored." Anna tried.
"It's lame excuse." Elsa crossed her arm, eyes demanded proper explanation.
Anna grinned innocently, hoping Elsa would not pry any further. Unconsciously her good arm reached out her sling to suppress the throbbing.
"Your majesty, princess." Kai's voice chimed in. The royal butler was holding a silver tray. "Isn't it time for princess having the medication?" Kai reminded politely.
Anna sighed in relief. She was saved by the butler. "hufft… thank you Kai. You are my life saver." The redhead princess immediately pulled Kai inside to her room and closed it quickly, leaving Elsa alone in the hallway.
"I should have played with the red button more. You are nicer even though you are busy." Anna pouted.
"Here princess."
Anna took 2 pills at the same time and swallowed it.
"Your majesty has been very busy lately. It relates with the internal situation of the nation and now… her family." Kai glanced carefully to Anna.
"…" Anna still pouted although this time she preferred to not retorting. "I know… and it frustrates me more that I do not know anything." Anna looked away from Kai. She retreated to her bed, slipped in between her blanket, hiding her face. "I don't even remember about this country…"
Kai cleared his throat, "Arendelle is a monarch nation, princess. It locates in northern Europe and has a total area of 385,252 square kilometres and a population of 5,109,059 people. The current ruler of Arendelle is Queen Elsa, the youngest queen in Arendelle's history…"
Anna sniffed. "You are reading a Wikipedia."
"… well, princess. You can start to get to know your home and family. If you can't remember… you can re-learn it again… reboot with a fresh start."
Anna peeked from her blanket, "… Wikipedia then?"
"No, your highness, I would recommend our library. But not today."

When night came, Anna decided to talk to Elsa. The blue button was very tempting at night and finally she couldn't hold herself anymore.
One ring and her sister picked her call, "Anna, this line is for emergency only." Elsa stifled a yawn across the line. Although it was almost midnight, her sister was still awake.
"Are you busy?"
There was sound of rustling paper, "no, what is it?"
"I… actually, this morning at the hospital when I freaked out with Hans's flashlight…"
"It's doctor Hans." Elsa corrected, there was a strain in her voice.
"Yes. At that moment, I saw flashes of images. I… I think it's from the day of the accident. Hans said it was a form of my trigger after traumatic experience…"
"Doctor Hans." Elsa corrected again.
"Yes. Pay attention. I think the light also becomes a key to my memories about the accident."
Elsa went quiet on the other line.
"Elsa?"
"Yes… what did you see?"
"A pair of lights… maybe two, I don't know. They were very bright and it charged ahead to my direction."
"And then?"
Anna sighed, there was no flashes anymore after that. "Then everything went black."
Sharp intake of breath, Elsa asked again, "you know that you have scheduled appointment with royal therapist few days from today, don't you?"
Anna didn't like the idea at all, but she didn't have a choice if she wanted to regain her memories back. "Yes."
"I-I'm sorry, I can't help you in this area." Elsa said. "but I promise you, we can talk about anything anytime."
"Via blue button?" Anna didn't know how she became too fond with the blue button.
"It's for emergency only."
"I understand." But both sisters knew they would do this kind of conversation through the blue button tomorrow. "Don't stay up too late, it's bad for your skin." Anna said.
"My skin is still very fine."
Anna couldn't deny the fact how flawless her sister was.

The palace library location was more difficult to find than the dungeon. Kai had given Anna direction which turn she should take to reach the library. He also had downloaded Arendelle's castle digital map system so Anna could access it in her gadget. He explained about how the system could only be accessed by certain person and android system. Anna had zoned out while Kai was explaining, so when he was done talking, Anna dismissed him to do another more important task than escorting her to a library.
She shouldn't have done that since now Anna was pretty sure she was lost.
The device said she should go north and made a right turn in second hallway. "Where the hell is north? Do I have to read stars movement or something?" Anna mumbled between her breaths. The map wasn't reliable or she was incapable.
Anna arrived on what looked like very similar hallway she had just passed minutes ago. Now, almost given up in finding the library, Anna chose to enter a huge velvet door in the end of the hallway.
"Whoa…" Anna gasped upon the scene of the room. The room was super huge, almost like the size of royal ballroom. However, this room was filled with various paintings and sculptures. "This is the palace museum, not a library." Anna set her sight on a picture of a soldier riding a white horse with a sword in hand. "Joan of Arc," Anna read the label under the picture frame. Anna grinned looking at the picture with excitement. "Hi, Joan."
Then she shifted to one picture to another. Strangely, Anna felt really comfortable in there even though it was very quiet. The last row of pictures was the paintings of royal families through generations. Anna read the family name one by one until she stopped to the last picture.
A painting of her own family.
She felt her world stopped.
There in the picture was her father, mother, Elsa, and her far younger self. She studied how the smaller version of her sister, no more than 10 years old looked like her usual very serious self. Anna then looked up to her father's picture. This was her first time to see his father since the accident that had left her not remembering anything. In her opinion, her father looked nice, very handsome even with red hair like her. At least now Anna knew who the redhead between her parents was. Her mother had dark brown hair and very beautiful. Anna also now knew where Elsa had gotten her beauty from. Their mother had contributed a lot in that area since Elsa's face looked a lot like their mother.
Anna smiled, silently tears were running down onto her face. "Mama… papa, I'm sorry. I wish I could remember our time together… but I can't"
At least all of her family was smiling in that painting.

"So, you didn't find the library at the end of the day?" Elsa asked. She had been listening Anna's story of her adventure in the castle. Anna's mission was a simple one: to go to the library. Yet, she hadn't made it.
"Painting room is way more awesome than the library anyway." Anna shrugged.
They were now speaking through the blue button again. Even though the distance between her room and Elsa's were only 74 steps (by walking like a princess) with 30 seconds time and 38 steps (by jumping and running like an Olympic athlete) with 20 seconds time, Anna felt that her sister would be too tired to handle her face to face.
"You haven't even seen the library yet." Elsa remarked.
"Can you move the library to easier location? I swear it's harder to find than the dungeon."
"You have been in dungeon?"
"No! Wait. We have a dungeon?" Anna would make it as her next adventure mission tomorrow.
"Don't even think about it. As for library, I can't just move it around. The castle's room structure has been like the way it is for centuries."
"What kind of queen that unable to move a library?"
"The queen that has more important job to do." Elsa answered in a heartbeat.
Then Anna went quiet.
"Anna? You sleep already?"
"Today in the painting room, I saw our family's painting." Anna said weakly.
"Ah… are you okay?"
"Yes. I mean, it never crossed my mind to want to know their faces. When I did, I had expected to get flashes or something, but there was nothing. I couldn't remember anything about them… about us." The weak voice now broke into vulnerable sniffs.
"Anna."
"Papa was very good looking, like a prince from fairytale." Anna chuckled between her sobs. "Mama was so beautiful, like you… I- why can't I remember?"
"Anna."
"Why you are the only one who is blond? Wait, I think our grandfather has the exact same color like yours. Platinum blond hair… oh, you always get the cool color." Anna now was in full mode crying her heart out.
"Anna."
The redhead then realized she had been rambling and bawling at the same time. "What?"
"Do you want me to come over?" Elsa offered softly.
"No… my nose is running, you'll end up to be my handkerchief." Anna took a deep breath. Her sniffle and snorts could be heard clearly across the line.
Elsa waited until Anna's sobs reduced.
"Elsa?"
"What is it, Anna?"
"Yes. I don't want to be alone tonight."
After she hung up, her sister had appeared by her room's door in less than 20 seconds.
