Chapter 21
"Oh, no," Elsa says, and then drops the papers that are rapidly stacking up on her desk. "No," the Snow Queen says again, this time a low whimper. She covers her face with her hands, and leans back, as if hopeless.
Anna's signature knock—the same knock she'd use throughout their childhood-alerts Elsa. She lifts her face, clears her throat, and her face becomes composed. "Come in, Anna."
The redheaded vampire opens the door, and slowly walks in. She stands beside the door. She's trying to hide it, but, Elsa is able to clearly see the fear in her little sister's eyes.
"When are they coming?" she inquires, her voice composed. Elsa is surprised, this doesn't sound like Anna, but she replies.
"Who?"
"You know what I'm talking about, Elsa," Anna says. "When are the Southern Isles and Weselton coming to declare battle?"
Elsa sighs, and outstretches her hand with the parchment. Anna grabs it, and reads it a few times. Each time she reads the letter, her expression becoming more scared.
Anna drops the letter. It slowly falls to the floor. "Three weeks?"
Elsa nods, her expression hopeless.
"Weselton and the Southern Isles are coming to Arendelle in three weeks with an army of bloodthirsty creatures of the night?" Anna still sounds shocked.
"Yes, Anna," Elsa replies.
"Well, I'd better go prepare for battle," Anna says, and leaves the room, with the door wide open. Elsa can hear her saying, "I've always wanted to see swords being made."
"Anna!" Elsa exclaims, worriedly, and bolts after her sister.
Thankfully, the vampire is walking at a human pace. Elsa sprints to get to Anna, who was already almost at the end of the hall. She gets to her sister, and places her hands on Anna's upper arms. Anna doesn't struggle. She knows that she'd hurt Elsa if she tries to struggle.
"What do you think you're doing?" Elsa interrogates her sister.
"Elsa, a human army alone won't fight these things. Y/N and I are the only vampires in Arendelle. We'd be valuable weapons in this war," Anna says.
"I almost lost you, once, Anna," Elsa says, remembering when Anna almost froze. "I'm not going to go through that, again." She embraces her sister.
"You're not gonna lose me," Anna says, before she adds, "Jeez, you sound like Y/N."
Elsa removes herself from the hug. "I'll think of something, okay? Neither you, nor Y/N, will have to set foot on the battlefield."
The sound of you groaning, waking up, is heard.
"You'd better go," Elsa says. "Y/N's probably wondering where his/her fledgling is."
Anna snickers, and then enters your quarters.
You both considered it to belong to both of you, now.
You're sitting up in bed. Your hair is a wild mane; much like Anna's when she wakes up.
Maybe Kai was right. You two are perfect for each other.
"Wow, and you never want me to leave you," you say teasingly, upon seeing Anna.
Anna snickers. "Shut up, and leap out the window."
"With pleasure, Your Highness," you reply, before getting up, walking to the window, opening the window, and standing on the windowsill, facing Anna.
"I was only..." Anna doesn't get to finish her sentence.
"Au revoir, my beloved," you say, before, without hesitation, you fall backward.
"No!" Anna screams, and rushes to the windowsill. Alas, you've been swallowed by the darkness of night.
You suddenly soar upward, back to her window. "Miss me?"
Anna punches you. You start laughing.
"Don't you ever scare me like that, again," she says.
"My dearest, have you forgotten that vampires are invincible. I could leap off the highest tower in this castle, land, and I wouldn't even get scratched," you say.
"Just warn me next time," Anna replies.
You lift her up, bridal style, and then leap out the window. "As much as I don't like to cut into my schedule, I suppose that could be arranged."
Anna kisses you on the cheek, before inquiring, "Now, can it be arranged?"
"Consider it done," you reply.
