"I know your love was just a dream." - Millennia (Crown The Empire)
Anna had asked her to return being her personal maid. She felt conflicted.
On one hand, she didn't truly trust the red head. Thinking back to that eventful day at the garden, Anna had become aggressive in a blink of an eye. On the other hand, she wanted to rekindle her relationship with her mistress. The relationship she had missed the past weeks without her.
Belle was also making it all the more harder than it should be. The brunette had shown Elsa so many new things, taught her and talked to her like no one in the Arendale household would (Other than Anna of course). Elsa felt calm in her presence and had grown to become attached to this other mistress that she'll feel terrible to leave just like that.
Telling Anna to give her some time to decide was difficult since she didn't want to offend the young woman, knowing that if she hesitated Anna would take her response in the worse way possible. It went well, but there were some bumps met along the way.
"I don't know Anna, I've never asked Adam for such things before. I don't want to bother him and have him waste his time on such trivial matters." Anna groaned, exasperated.
"But Elsa! If you don't you're going to be stuck with Belle. I want you! No other maids know me like you do." Then suddenly a flash of anger crossed through her teal orbs and Elsa felt a involuntary shiver crawl up her spine. "Or you just don't want to talk to him cause you want to be with that cunt." The blonde gave Anna a scolding look. She hated swears and words that put people down. Seeing that she had irritated the maid, Anna looked away, crossing her arms across her chest.
"Anna. Please be reasonable. Who was it that started this whole thing? If only you would just grow up and take responsibility for your actions." Elsa gritted out. Of course the blonde would have the nerve to talk back to the red haired mistress. Shes got nothing to lose and she also knew Anna could do nothing to her. It may seem egotistic for her to know this and use it to her advantage, but she knew Anna needed her and cared about her enough to listen.
Anna stared intently at the blonde, her lips were beginning to tug up in a smile. "I am always willing to take responsibilities for my actions, Elsa. Since I have violated you, what would you have me do? Ask for your hand in marriage?" The conversation took a sharp turn and Elsa could tell she was on thin ice as she could perceive from Anna's stance. Her next answer better be good, or else..
"That's not what I meant Anna, and you know that." Anna's little smile turned into a frown.
"Of course not. Since you can't even handle my little 'tease'." She stated, eying Elsa's neck and reaching her hand to caress the pale skin. Skin that she had previously 'made love' to. Elsa shivers, anticipating something that she hope would not happen.
"Anna, you promised." She states, turning her face away. Anna flinches her hand away and ran her tongue across her lips.
"What? I can't touch you anymore?" The maid felt so frustrated. Anna was being difficult and she couldn't help but wish she didn't encounter Anna. Taking in a deep breath and releasing it calmly, Elsa gives Anna a small smile.
"Anna, I didn't say that. But I just wish you wouldn't look or touch me like.. The way you were just doing." Anna shook her head with grin, her body shaking in silent laughter.
"You really don't get it, do you Elsa?" Seeing the maid shake her head Anna felt her stomach drop. "So are we going to go back to how things were or are you just.. going to let one little incident destroy us."
Elsa's eyes went wide at the mention of 'little' her face felt hot and she could feel tears threatening to fall. 'How can Anna not know what kind of impact that 'little' incident has?' Elsa chuckles humorlessly. 'of course she wouldn't know, her life was never in the lows.'. "That 'little'" Elsa did the quotation marks with her fingers. "incident would ruin anyone, Anna." she chuckles again. "But of course you wouldn't know that, since you're not the prey. Good bye Anna." and she began walking away, leaving Anna standing there with a guilty feeling weighing on her.
Okay, so it didn't go 'well' per se. But Elsa felt like she dodged a bullet right through the heart for not accepting Anna's plea. Little did Elsa know, she dodged a whole cannon blast.
The maid continues to do her job, serving Belle and her husband. Ignoring Anna's mood swings. Going to the market and meeting people who are full of smiles. It seems her life was getting right back on track.
Then, came the news of the returning 'three musketeers'. Kristoff, Sven, Olaf. The youngest sons of Adam, respectively (Hans and Anna being the last born). Elsa has never met them, since they had left right when Anna left, and now is returning cause Anna has returned. News was that they were by far the kindest and most respected gentlemen the town of Arendale has known. Elsa prayed for it to be true. The blonde would wonder just how deep their connection with Anna was, seeing as Anna was in a better mood the past few days.
Usually the sons of Adam would return individually, either for a visit or to stay. Most don't stay for more than a couple of weeks. Remembering back to when the eldest came home made Elsa shiver in disgust. The man looked dirty, nothing like a high class man. He would look at the servants with a predatory gaze, that Elsa couldn't help but to compare him with Anna, and Elsa had heard that he even took advantage of one of the younger servants. The news was kept under wraps - of course by Adam - but the other maids caught whiff of the incident and it wasn't much of a secret in the household.
Everyone was fairly busy the past week getting ready for the three musketeers to return. Even Adam himself looked anxious to get everything perfect for his sons, something Elsa has rarely seen. Anna would occasionally come and converse with Elsa like her usual self before disappearing for the rest of the day. The blonde felt like the mistress was up to something, but she just assumed she's just being too paranoid since Anna has done nothing but become her old self. A friend, a sister.
Elsa has also taken notice of something. Belle and Anna still hasn't gotten along, as could be seen with the red head's glare at her step mother. People would say its an one-sided feeling as they had not seen Belle act in such a childish manner. The brunette was much more composed and subtle in her way of displaying her displeasure in the young woman.
For example? Snide remarks, hidden with her 'cute' laugh. Holding onto Anna so tightly you could see the nail marks left indented into her skin. It made Elsa shiver how you really truly can't trust how people act. How you can't even tell these differences unless you spend time watching them closely.
Belle was a lot more scary than Anna could ever be. It was weird how that worked out huh? Anna was honest and would always voice out her thoughts whereas Belle was quiet and composed, always plotting. It was weird for the maid to see such contrast.
It warmed her heart knowing maybe, just maybe, Anna wasn't lost. She was waiting to be found.
The day came when those 3 brothers would return home and Anna was literally bouncing around, being her uncontrollable self and Elsa could help but laugh loudly when the red head scooped her up in a bone crushing hug. This was going to be an amazing day.
A sleek black Rolls Royce parked in front of the main gate of the mansion and Elsa was amused at how calm the 3 men came compared to how Anna announced her arrival.
Kristoff and Sven were huuuuuge. Looking back and forth from the car to the two towering guys, you'll have to wonder how they could even fit into those insy bitsy doors! Olaf on the other hand was cute and average height, his hair a pale blonde in contrast to his brother's dirty blonde hairs and he wasn't at all as muscular as the other two. They were all dressed up in loose button up shirts with cargo shorts, they could probably pass up as triplets if Olaf wasn't so small.
Anna squealed in delight and launched herself at her brothers, but.. she launched herself a bit too fast. Kristoff's eyes widened and Sven dropped the backpack he was carrying. Olaf raced forward to catch Anna but trips over the fallen backpack... And.. everything after that was like dominoes. Kristoff trips over Olaf after realizing what was happening and Sven fell forward from all the fallen bodies to... perfectly have Anna land right on top of him. Sven groaned in annoyance.
"Anna...!" His voice was muffled since his face was to the ground. Olaf and Kristoff chuckles out loud, pushing themselves off of the floor. "I swear if you do-" Anna moves, but not in the way Sven was hoping. Now splayed across his body in a dramatic manner, a hand laying on top of her forehead.
"Oh dear brothers. You have made me wait so! Here I was, for 2 whole months, waiting to be rescued." Kristoff and Olaf tried their best to conceal their smirks and elegantly kneel down in front of the mistress.
"Darling sister! If only we had known of such distress! Please, forgive us!" Olaf snickered lowly, casting a look at Sven who was clearly not amused.
"Yes, yes! We will do anything for your forgiveness!" Kristoff clears his throat. "We present you the Sven! He's a reindeer we came across in the north." Sven whipped his head around, a groan erupts from his throat. Anna nods slowly.
"Well then, alright. Giddy up reindeer! TAKE ME TO MY CHAMBERS." Kristoff and Olaf stands up and silently giggles at the annoyed looking Sven who was waddling up the steps to the mansion. Anna was slapping his butt to go faster.
While watching the scene unfold, every maid had to dig into their minds to find their saddest moments of life in order to keep their laughter in. Elsa let out a breath of a silent laugh but caught herself. Adam was full on chuckling, and Belle... was the only one with a poker face. She looked clearly unimpressed, as if what everyone was doing was not of her level. Her eyes were judging.
The 3 musketeers plus Anna loudly made their way into the mansion and while Kristoff and Olaf bowed to their father, Sven could not because of the heavy redhead on him, so all he did was give him a nod in acknowledgement.
"Come, come, you guys must be so tired driving all the way up here. How long a ride? 10 hours?" Kristoff shook his head just as Adam looped his arm around his son's shoulders.
"Naw dad, not more than 8. I swear we weren't speeding!" Olaf chortles. 'Sure we weren't' he mutters to himself.
Their bedroom was right by Anna's, Kristoff's and Sven's beside her room and Olaf's was right across. It was the most perfect arrangement for Anna.
After Adam and the maids have left the 4 of them alone, Anna excited embraced each one of her darling brothers and gave a loud smack of lips on their cheeks. She was so ecstatic they were here.. Until Kristoff says the one thing she wished wouldn't happen.
"Wheeeew. Did you see that blonde maid? Man oh man." He whistles, rubbing his hand together and sitting down on the sofa. He fails to see Anna's eyes harden. "Anna, what's her name? Maybe I can ask dad for her to help me unpack or something." He chuckles softly. Olaf rolls his eyes.
"Oh just leave the poor girl alone. Shes probably not into big oafs like you." Sven shook his head and made his way to the showers, seeing as Anna was going to explode. He didn't want to be there when that happened.
"Oh shut it Olaf! Who wouldn't dig someone BIG." Anna slams her hand on the wall. Both Olaf's and Kristoff's eyes widen.
"Which blonde... Kristoff." The blonde man swallows nervously, seeing Anna's angry face.
"T-the super light blonde." He cursed himself for stuttering.
"With the vest?" she inquired.
"Yeah." Anna chuckles lowly.
"Don't you mess with her. Don't you even look at her." It was weird for Kristoff to see Anna like this. She was hardly or never ever defensive about someone. "She's mine."
"Yours?" He questions, his brow furrowing. Olaf just sat quietly, hoping that a fight wouldn't break out. "Does she agree to that?"
Anna laughs.
"Does it matter?" Kristoff growls. "I call dibs." Kristoff loses it.
"Well, I think we should let HER decide that, shouldn't we." Anna narrows her eyes.
"You better not be fucking with me Kristoffer." Kristoff clenches his fist. "You're just going to lose."
"Its Kristoff. You need to learn your place, KID." The red head smirks, and outstretches her hand for him to take.
"Oh, its on."
