Chapter 25: Problems
Tristan's Prov
I walked down the hallway confused and angry. Why the hell did Amber bug out like that I hadn't done anything to her! All I've done is been a good friend to her and she just thinks she can go screaming in my face! I don't know where I'm walking I just am I passed Elsa's room on the way the door was open so I caught a glimpse in I saw them all standing around admiring the new baby who Amber was holding I was meant to be mad at her but I still smiled at her laughing, I must have caught her eyes as she looked at me coldly then looked away. I carried on walking down to the stables when I bumped into Travis one of the stable boys.
"You alright?" he asked.
"Not really Amber is acting really weird with me for no reason!"
"She was fine with me earlier!" Travis was one of those kids that always had to one up you like when he found out I had become friends with Amber he started trying to hang about with her to but she chose me!
"Look Travis if you're not going to help then don't worry about it"
Just then the doors swung open and out run Amber I turned my eyes lit up. Maybe she's not mad anymore! But she ran past me as if I wasn't even there and into the stables. "See she acted as if I wasn't here!" I said gobsmacked
"Yeah I saw maybe I can talk to her if you want." He offered.
"No its fine I will find a way to sort it." I assured him.
"Ok, if you need any help I'm here." He said running to the kitchen.
I walked towards the stables thinking in how I would say sorry to Amber without knowing what I had done. As I walked in I looked around trying to find her "What the..." I mumbled I had seen her come in not leave. "Sven was Amber in here?" He nodded "Where is she now then?" he shrugged "I need to say sorry for something but I don't know what! Did she say anything to you?" He shook his head. "I mean I haven't seen her let alone spoken to her all day so what could she be so mad at the only time I saw her today was when me and Olaf…" my eyes widened I knew what I had done she was listening to the whole convocation between me and Olaf! "I have to go see you later buddy!" I said running out of the stables and closing the door.
I needed to find Olaf fast and explain he wasn't in the stables so I went to the first place I thought he would be. I ran up the stairs to Elsa's room to look in and see Olaf hovering looking over the baby. He didn't seem to notice me but Anna did "Tristan! Come in. I'd like you to meet Destiny." She smiled facing her to me.
"She's beautiful Anna congratulations!" I smiled "Is it ok if I borrow Olaf quickly?" I asked.
"Sure" Elsa smiled to me.
We walked outside the doors and down to the garden "What's wrong Tristan?" He asked.
"You know in the library when Amber walked out and looked really annoyed with us." He nodded "I know why!"
Amber's Prov
Everywhere I was Tristan seemed to be like when I walked out to the stables he was there talking to Travis! I walked in and went into Sven's pen and sat there hugging myself he came over and sat next to me with his head on my lap looking up at me as if to say 'what's wrong' "This whole time he has been pretending to be my friend and has been scared of me when he told me he would never be scared of me!" A tear run down my face Sven moved his head up and licked it away "Thanks." I smiled at him and stroked his head "I'm just annoyed that I let him play me!" He gave me a confused look "Tristan" I said as the doors started to rattle I crawled somewhere where he wouldn't be able to see me "Sven if Tristan asks I'm not here. Ok?" I whispered he nodded and got up.
"What the..." He mumbled. "Sven was Amber in here?" Sven nodded "Where is she now then?" he shrugged "I need to say sorry for something but I don't know what! Did she say anything to you?" He shook his head. "I mean I haven't seen her let alone spoken to her all day so what could she be so mad at the only time I saw her today was when me and Olaf…" and with that he said bye to Sven the went running out shutting the door behind him.
I moved away from the corner and walked over to Sven to fuss him "Thank you for that." I said handing him a carrot. Right now everyone was fussing over Destiny which is understandable she has just been born and normally I would turn to Tristan but I couldn't now so it seemed that Sven was the only one I could talk to. Sven gave out a yawn "You tired buddy?" He nodded "Well get some rest and maybe tomorrow Uncle Kristoff will bring Destiny down to meet you!" I smiled he seemed happy with that. I left the stables and shut the doors then slowly walked back to the castle as it was getting late and I didn't want to wake anyone. I looked in on Mama's room her and Papa were lying on her bed asleep in each others arms. I walked to the east wing to check on Aunt Anna, Uncle Kristoff and Destiny. I opened the door to their room as I heard crying from inside.
"Amber! What are you doing up still?" Aunt Anna asked.
"Well… I was in the stables and didn't realise how late it was getting."
"Well I'm glad you're here would you watch Destiny and try and get her to sleep. I need to get in the bath; Kris has just gone to get her bottle so he should be up soon." I picked Destiny out of her crib.
"Sure don't worry about us I will take good care of her" I smiled, Aunt Anna got up and gave me and destiny a kiss on our heads.
"Now Destiny you be good for your cousin!" Destiny giggled at this but when Aunt Anna walked into the bathroom she went silent at looked up at me with her big eyes and studied me for a while.
"Hi Destiny" I looked down at her cream nightgown that didn't cover her whole bottom so you could see some of her nappy. I held her so she was facing me she tried to grab my hair so I brought her up to my face and rubbed my nose against hers "I am always going to be there for you when you are growing up and I can teach you what a Princess should and shouldn't do so you don't get into any trouble like I did!" She giggled "And we are going to have so much fun with my powers" I moved my hand from under her and clicked my fingers causing a flower crown to appear her mouth made and O shape as I put it on her head. She clapped her hands but then realised she was hunger and began to cry again.
"No, no don't cry!" I begged. I was trying to think of something I saw my mother do when I was little with my baby brother Chase, an idea popped into my head, I took a deep breath and closed my eyes "Here it goes."
"Flower gleam and glow,
Let your power shine,
Make the clock reverse,
Bring back what once was mine,
Heal what has been hurt,
Change the fates design,
Save what has been lost,
Bring back what once was mine,
What once was mine."
I opened my eyes to see Destiny hand stopped crying but seemed like she was in a trance, I put her in her crib where she fell sound asleep. Just then the door to the bathroom opened Aunt Anna walked out with a towel rapped around her "Wow Amber you really do have the magic touch with your cousin!" Aunt Anna said looking it at her. "Did you make that flower crown?" She asked looking up at me.
I nodded.
"Oh its lovely Amber thank you!" She said hugging me then walking into her wardrobe "You can go to bed if you want I think I can handle her till Kris gets back!" She said.
"No its fine I will wait till Uncle Kristoff gets back just in case she wakes up again and you cant get her to settle."
"I really don't know what I would do without you!" She said walking out of her wardrobe with a pink nightgown on. "Where did you learn all of this?"
"Well when I lived with my mother, brothers and sisters mother was always out and James was no help at all so at night I had to put my brother Chase and my sisters Rosie and Eleanor to bed and the only way to get them settled was to sing to them." I said looking down at my hands "The last thing I remember Chase saying to me was I had the sweetest voice he had ever heard and would cherish it forever. Then I ran away got on the first ship to Arendelle and ended up here." I gave a faint smile
"You miss your brother and sisters don't you?" She asked putting an arm around me.
"Am I a horrible person if I said yes?" She shook her head. "Then yes Chase was only 3 when I left and the twins were only 2 I doubt if I saw them on the street they would remember or recognise me"
"Amber I bet they remember every detail of you I mean you was like a mother to them its hard to replace that! I think you are better at this whole looking after kids thing then you give yourself credit for."
I stood up I didn't want to talk about my past anymore "I'm going to go to bed now. Tell me if she is giving you a hard time and I will come back." She gave me one last hug and a goodnight kiss. Then I went back to my room for some reason I had this strange feeling that someone was watching me but there was no one around, so I just shook it off and went and got ready for bed. Once I was in bed I just layed on my back looking up at the ceiling thinking about what I was going to do tomorrow! We were throwing a party to celebrate the birth of Destiny but that would mean I would have to try and get to know the children in the village! I hope tomorrow goes well!
I know this is a short chapter and I'm sorry I have been suffering with a bit of writers block lately. So I will try and post over the weekend if I can finish this next chapter with ease.
