When I entered the hallway I jumped slightly when Anna tapped me on the shoulder as I closed my door.
"Oh sorry, I didn't mean to scare you". She said in an apologetic but equally happy tone. The smile she wore as she looked at me made my heart race and my entire body grow weak. Her eyes simply stared into mine and I felt powerless to move or say anything. She was wearing the same hoodie and pair of jeans that she wore yesterday, but I swear she could look beautiful in anything she wore.
"No, no it's fine". I said eventually. "I just didn't expect it at all".
Anna continued to smile and bit her lip.
"Elsa said you were having breakfast with us".
"I am. I would have had to go with you anyway but I'm glad I can eat with you instead".
We began to walk down the hallway towards the staircase which led to the entrance hall. I often found myself looking at Anna in ways which would be deemed inappropriate but I just couldn't help it. How so much beauty can go into one person was beyond me completely. She stopped when we reached the top of the stairs.
"I never asked what your name is". She said to me.
"It's Jack". I said back to her.
We arrived at the table about a minute late but Elsa didn't seem to notice. Anna sat next to her sister and I took a seat next to Anna, facing to the door we had just come in from. The smell of a different assortment of foods snaked in from the kitchen next door. I hadn't been feeling particularly hungry before, but now my stomach was grumbling like mad.
Anna leaned over to me, allowing me to look into her eyes once again. I couldn't help but notice that as I looked at her, she didn't blink once. I began to think to myself if she was interested in me but I quickly shook those thoughts out of my head.
"I hope you like pancakes". Anna said, her eyes still fixated on me.
"Who doesn't like pancakes"? I replied, with a smile in my face. Anna let out a cute laugh and turned towards her sister.
It took a while for the food to arrive, but when it did, it was a huge payoff. As the pancakes were placed in front of me, I couldn't help but immediately cover them with maple syrup. Probably the best thing to come out of Canada. I ate them quickly; I looked around and saw I wasn't the only one who was enjoying the food. Anna's plate was empty and she was scooping off the chocolate which she had put on that had quickly melted.
However the cheerful atmosphere was quickly shattered when the doors slammed open. The other person from the Southern Isles entered the room with a look of fury on his face. Elsa and Anna quickly looked over and their expressions changed completely.
The man stormed over to the table and began yelling at us all.
"What the hell is Prince Hans doing in a cell? And better yet. Why does he have a hole in his shoulder"?
"Because your Prince thought it was a good idea to try and kill Anna". I yelled back. "So I did my fucking job and shot him".
"Do you have any idea what you are getting yourselves into? His father will defiantly hear about this".
"So you're just going to let him get away with attempted murder for a second time". Elsa spoke up. "He has done this before and I spared him. Now he has done it again so I'm not letting him off this time".
"You do realise this will spark war"?
"I don't think the UN will be too pleased with an unprovoked attack". I spoke up again.
"It won't be unprovoked. He did nothing wrong and you took him prisoner for no reason".
"He tried to fucking kill me in my sleep"! Anna finally yelled. "Face it, its three people's words against one. He tried to murder me and he is being punished for it".
"You won't get away with this". The man yelled and began to storm out of the room.
All three of us sighed. If war came to Arendelle, it would prove disastrous. Elsa stood up and walked to the other side of the table. She walked over to me and stared me directly in the eyes.
"I want answers out of him". She said to me. "I don't care how you get them. I just want to know why he wanted to kill my sister".
"What, so you want me to torture him"? I replied.
"I don't care what you do. Just get answers".
A twisted smile appeared on my face. I wanted to hurt this fucker so bad. I wanted to torture him close to death. I didn't care what I was going to do. As long as he suffers. I will not hold back anything.
"As you wish".
One of the palace guards led me out of the room and along a corridor which seemed to stretch forever. It gradually began to become colder as the walls quickly turned into stone. We descended down some stairs and a large iron door stood in front of us.
"This is it". The guard said. "I hope you know what you are doing".
"Trust me". I said back to him. "I do".
He took out a ring of keys from one of his pockets and pulled the rusty looking one off the ring. He handed it to me and explained it was the master key for all the cells and doors that were to follow. I nodded to him and he soon left me standing in front of the door in this dark and dingy place of a seemingly amazing castle.
I was about to place the key into the lock when I heard another set of footsteps coming down the corridor. I quickly turned round and saw Anna emerging from around the corner. I began to walk over to her until we were close to each other.
"You don't have to do this you know". Anna said in a soft tone.
"He tried to kill you Anna" I replied. "I'm not going to let him get away with that".
"You already shot him. You saved my life. What else do you have to do"?
"I want to know why he did it Anna. For your sister's sake and yours"
She bit down on her lip and thought on something for a few seconds.
"I've noticed the way you have been looking at me. I'm not stupid".
My heart sank and I could feel myself getting hot. Why the fuck did I make it so obvious? Numerous things fluttered in my mind. The one that stuck out the most was that I could possibly lose this position and in turn get kicked out of unit. Why had I allowed myself to fall in love with Anna this much? In any case, I was dead no matter what. I tried to muster up words but they just wouldn't form. My throat was dry and my heart racing fast.
"Anna. I-"
Before I could even say anything, Anna's arms quickly wrapped around my neck. She pulled me in closer to her and our lips touched. My heart rose in my chest again and the blood rushed through my body so fast. Her lips tasted of a mix between cherries and the chocolate that she had eaten before. While it had taken me by surprise, I quickly relaxed and allowed it to continue. My fears were no long gone and I couldn't care less if someone caught us now. The emotions I felt were just too high to not give a care in the world.
She finally pulled away. I took a gasp of air as her kiss had completely distracted me from breathing. I stood there stunned, thinking whether that had just happened or I was dreaming.
"Good luck in there". She said to me with a smile on her face. "I'll be in my room for when you finish".
"Thank you". I pathetically uttered back to her. "I'll see you later".
All she did was giggle and turned around and proceeded back up the stairs and around the corner. That really did just happen. I quickly snapped myself out of my trance and headed towards the prison door. I placed the rust key in the lock and pushed the heavy door open. It was time to teach this bastard a lesson. And now I had a better incentive to do it.
