Anna was daydreaming when Mary knocked at her door, so she didn't hear it. After knocking three times and still no reply, so Mary opened the door. Anna immediately look at her quizzically. "Oh hey – what's up, Mary?" Anna asked her. She is sitting on the edge of her bed. Anna's using a white dress today, and her hair is braided as usual.

Mary walked towards Anna, and then she sat beside the girl. She smiled at Anna. "What were you doing when I knock the door, Anna? I've knocked three times and you didn't reply."

"Oh – you knocked?" Anna's eyes widened. "I- I am sorry, I was.. I was thinking. About something,"

"What is it?" Mary asked curiously.

"Well.. a few days ago I had a dream about me and my sister. I don't know what was the dream about, and I had been thinking about it all the time. I can't get it out of my mind." Anna said to Mary. Mary sighed.

"Anna.. I suppose this is because you missed her too much. Although you guys have wasted years without talking to each other, but I'm sure you two do care." Mary said. "If I were you, I'd do the same. I know how does it feel, Anna. Don't worry, Elsa will come back home soon, okay?"

Anna nodded. "I wish." she said. Mary smiled, then she patted Anna's shoulder.

"It had been a really long time, eh? So what did you do after your parents were drowned along with their ship?" Mary asked. Anna looked down at her fingers, memories started to flash in her mind.

"You should better tell Anna about it,"

"About what?! Well, it's in the past! I don't want Anna to get hurt because we tell her about it."

"But because of you, now Elsa is too scared and call herself a monster."

"Stop blaming me about that! That's the only option we can choose!"

Anna shook her head. She still remember about the conversation she overheard between her mother and her father. The conversation included her name and also her sister's. Anna was intending to eavesdrop, but then she changed her mind and quickly went to her room. Her mother once told her that it's not good to eavesdrop.

But since that moment, Anna knows that Elsa is now living in an isolation and calls herself a monster. Why would my sister do that? Anna thought once, but then she tried to forget about it. Maybe there's something wrong with Anna's ears that she heard the wrong thing. Maybe her parents were talking about another thing.

But that's impossible. Until now, Elsa is still cold to her and really mysterious. For Anna, Elsa is an universe full of secrets that Anna would never can explore.

Anna also remember about the day when she walked past her sister's room and then heard Elsa shouting to her dad.

"It's getting stronger! Dad, I'm so scared!"

"Elsa, stop.. just relax..."

"How come can I relax?! It's not you, dad, so you don't know how does it feel like!"

"Elsa.."

"You don't understand the feeling! You don't understand the guilty I feel everyday. You don't understand the feeling, dad! I'm... I'm the one who can feel it."

"Elsa, being upset only makes it worse, calm down."

"NO, DON'T TOUCH ME!"

and then Anna stopped walking and neared the door. She can hear her sister and her dad talking a lot better now.

".. I don't want to hurt you, dad.."

and after that, Anna quickly ran away from her room. Her sister is completely a puzzle. She doesn't understand her sister. What was she talking about? What were they talking about? What did get stronger? Why do all of her family know about something that she doesn't? Why does she have a hunch that they're hiding something from her?

"Anna?"

Anna quickly looked up at Mary. "Ah, I'm sorry."

"Again," Mary smiled. "So you haven't answered my question."

Anna sighed. "I.. I.. I was so sad. I tried to talk to Elsa again. All day. All the time. But she never answered as if she's deaf, as if she couldn't hear me. So I stopped trying and tried to do another thing. I started to do another things that can get Elsa out of my mind. In other words, I actually don't want to think about Elsa anymore."

To Anna's surprise, Mary suddenly hugged her. Anna was a bit shocked before, but then she smiled. She had never felt like this before. She hugged Mary back. Tears started to cover her face. She had never felt like this. Warm, comfortable. She really loves this feeling. She doesn't want to let the feeling go.

Mary stroke Anna's back. "Anna, can I ask you something?"

"Sure, Mary, you can ask me anytime."

"I'm sorry, but.. what does it feel like.. being locked in the castle for years? And waste your priceless time?" Mary asked. There's a brief silence after she asked the question, but then Anna spoke up.

"Well, it's.. I really have nothing to do. No one to talk to. I used to have my parents to talk to, but since they're drowned.. I have nothing but Elsa. So.. uh, have to say I am bored almost all the time. The only friend that I have is my books." Anna replied. She sighed, then she bites her bottom lip.

"Anna, I bet you forgot about me." Mary said, half-laughing. "You have me. You always have me. I'm also bored doing those things a princess have to do everyday, but I'm sure I can accompany you if you need me to."

Anna started to cry again. "Thank you so much, Mary."
