I wake up in my bed. I try to open my eyes, but my vision is blurry. I slowly sit up and rub my eyes. It's a bit better, but not much. I stretch my legs out, but my foot nudges something. I turn on my side table lamp and I see red hair. Someone has their head rested on the edge of the bed, asleep.
"Anna?" my voice whispers. I rub my eyes again.
"Elsa?" the red-head wakes up.
"Rylin?" I'm shocked.
"Yeah. Do you need something?" Rylin is now up beside me.
"No. But where's Anna?"
"Oh. She was going stay with you but she also wanted to go – what did she want to do – oh yeah. She wanted to go somewhere with Kristoff. So, I told her, it was fine, that I would stay here and look after you. So, she went with Kristoff. She said she would be back before nightfall."
Wow. Rylin could have just gone home and Anna and Kristoff could have just stayed with me, but he wanted to stay. I go to get out of the bed to head to the bathroom, and I lose my balance. Before I can even blink, Rylin is beside me, catching me before I could fall.
"Ok. Let's try not to fall again." Rylin jokes.
I laugh." Yeah." Rylin helps me to the bathroom then waiting for me outside the door.
Once I'm done, he helps me back to my room.
It feels kind of awkward, so, I start conversation.
"Want to play I Spy?" I ask Rylin.
He looks at me weird, then changing to a smile. "Sure.".
Okay. You first." I tell him.
"Ok. I Spy with my eye something that is light brown."
"Is it my music box?" I ask.
"Wow. Your good." He jokes.
"Ok, my turn. I Spy something that is blue."
"Your eyes?" Rylin asks.
"No." He noticed my eyes. I smile.
Rylin blushes. "Your dress?"
"Yes." I smile," Your turn."
"I Spy something that is red."
"Your hair?" I ask.
"Yes." Rylin smiles at me.
We go on for hours. Laughing at the most ridiculous things that we had to resort too. Rylin is genuinely a nice guy. I'm lying on the bed facing Rylin, who is sitting in his originally spot from when I woke up before. I've never had this much fun, laughed so hard that my stomach hurt, or felt this free before. I figure by how tired we are getting, it's probably 8 or 9, at night. Rylin's eyes start to roll as we talk.
"It's getting dark. I don't know, if I should start to head home or not. Anna's not home yet." Rylin looks at me.
"You can stay the night here in the castle." I start, "We've got plenty of room."
"You sure?"
"Of course," I look at him," There's wolves out there at night. You could get hurt."
He smirks at me." You're worried about me getting hurt?"
"Well, yeah. You're my friend and I care for your safety."
"Okay. I'll stay. Everyone at the cabin, will know I couldn't come back and that I'm at the castle overnight. Hopefully." Rylin smiles.
"And Airia?" I ask.
"She'll get over herself."
We talk for a while. Joking and talking about different interests. Rylin in his spot and I've stretched myself on the bed, using one arm outstretched in front of me, and the other holding up my head. There's so much we have in common. For the first time in forever, I feel totally free.

Anna's POV
I rush down the hall. I'm late. I promised Rylin I would back before nightfall and its dark out. Screeching around corners, and holding my dress, so I don't trip. I reach Elsa's room and turn the knob, not bothering to knock. I creek open the door and see both Elsa and Rylin asleep. I make my way over to her bed, and notice that Elsa is asleep, on her back with one arm outstretched, and Rylin is leaning his head on the bed. I guess he hadn't moved yet since I had left. Oh no. I feel like I'm going to sneeze. It comes out, but I muffle it with my mittens. I look back over at Elsa and Rylin to make sure they are both asleep still. Rylin shuffles and shifts himself a bit, laying his hand on Elsa's.
"Oh my gosh."I whisper to myself.
Apparently, I can't whisper because Elsa shuffles herself at the sound of my voice, grasping Rylin's hand into hers, still asleep.
I slowly make my way towards the door. I quietly open it, taking one last look at them. I close the door, with a silent click. I lean on the door.
Elsa's found her prince. I smile, silently skipping down the hallway.
