Chapter 2: Her Story
You could only stare at her. What in the world was going on? Who was she, and why did she call you Master?
After a few seconds of recovering from the shock, you shook your head and looked at her.
"What are… I mean… WHO are you?" You asked, your head still trying to process what had just happened.
"My name is Elsa, my Master, and I am a Genie"
"A genie?"
She bowed.
"Yes, my Master. And to show my gratefulness to you, for releasing me after so long, I now grant you three wishes"
"Wishes?" You asked, dumbfounded. You were speechless.
"Yes, you can wish for almost whatever you want" She said.
"Whatever I want…" You mumbled.
"I do, however, have 3 rules you must follow when you make your wishes, so my advice to you is to take your time to think about what you want, and to be careful what you wish for"
"I… I understand…" You said.
"And those three rules are:"
1. I won't kill anyone
2. I won't make anyone fall in love
3. I won't bring back anyone from the dead
You nodded slightly. All of this was a lot to take in.
"Are you feeling ok, Master?" She asked, and you shook you head a bit again.
"Yes, I… I am just very surprised, that's all" You smiled a bit sheepishly.
"I understand" She said.
"All of this must be a lot to process" She said, sensing your confusion, and you nodded.
"Oh yes, definitely"
"(F/N)!" suddenly, Annas voice could be heard from the hallway outside the door and before you could even react your bedroom door flew open as she burst into your room*
"(F/N), can you…?" She stopped dead in her tracks as she saw the young woman in your bedroom.
'Oh no, what do I do?' Your head scrambled to come up with a solution.
You could only think of one thing to do.
You leaped across the floor, grabbed Anna by her arm and dragged her inside your room, and in the same movement closed the door.
"Shhhh, you can't tell anyone about this, ok?" You said, your voice making it very clear you meant business as you held a hand over her mouth to prevent her from screaming.
"Can you promise… No… can you SWEAR to us that you won't say anything to anyone about her. Including mom and dad?" You asked before you removed your hand so she could answer you.
Anna looked at you for a second and only nodded as her look went back to Elsa.
You released your grip on Anna's arm as you both looked at Elsa.
"Anna, this is Elsa, and… she is a genie" You said, presenting Elsa to Anna.
"Elsa, meet my sister Anna" You said, but Elsa's look was skeptical.
"Relax, you can trust Anna. She won't tell anyone" You reassured her.
Anna approached her carefully.
"So… you're a genie?" She asked and Elsa bowed slightly again.
"Yes, I am"
"Can I ask where you come from?"
Elsa replied by looking at the lamp and Anna looked at her confused before she turned to look at you for an explanation.
"I was wandering the streets after school and ended up in an unfamiliar part of town, and there I found a pawnshop. There I met the owner, a guy named Pabbie, and he gave me that lamp. But when I tried to polish it… well, you know the rest of the story" You explained.
"And now Elsa has granted me three wishes to show me her gratitiude"
Anna's mouth nearly fell to the floor.
"I know, it's hard for me to wrap my head around too" You said as you rubbed the back of your neck.
"But we have to keep this a secret, at least for now"
Anna nodded in agreement.
"Yes, of course"
Then you heard the footsteps of your mother coming up the stairs and the three of you immediately exchanged worried looks.
"Quick, hide in the lamp again" You said, and Elsa quickly dissolved into smoke and disappeared into the lamp again, just as your mum opened the door.
"Oh, there you are" She said with a smile.
"I just came up here to tell you dinner is ready"
"Ok, we'll be right there" You said and you mum smiled and closed the door behind her as she left.
You looked at Anna before you both turned around and looked at the lamp.
"I'll be right back, Elsa" You said, and looked at Anna again.
"Remember, not a word" You said and she nodded.
"I know, I know brother, you can trust me" she said as she gave you a reassuring smile.
"Good. Let's go" You said and you and Anna left the room and the lamp containing Elsa.
Downstairs you had burgers for dinner with your family before you went upstairs again.
As you came into your bedroom again you went over to the cage where you contained your white pet ferret Olaf, and opened the cage.
"Hey buddy" You said as Olaf came up the cage door. You stroked his white fur and he looked back at you with his dark brown eyes and sniffed the air.
"You must be hungry" You said and went to get the bag of ferret food and fed him before you turned towards your nightstand where you had placed the lamp.
"Maybe I should talk to her?" You mumbled to yourself.
There were things you wanted to ask her. Things you wanted to know.
"But should I rub the lamp again or should I just call her name?"
You decided to go with the second attempt first.
"Elsa?" You called out and it didn't take long before the lamp started glowing and the blue cloud reappeared. It didn't take long before she was standing in front of you again.
"Yes, Master?" She asked and you smiled a bit.
"Please, you can call me (F/N), cause… that's my name" You said, and she gave you a small smile back.
"Then, I will call you by your name, (F/N)" She said.
You smiled as you sat down on your bed.
"So… I was just wondering… will you tell me a bit about yourself?" You asked and she looked at you a bit surprised before she gave you a small smile.
"What do you want to know?"
You thought for a few seconds. You didn't know anything about her, just her name, so you just started with the first question that came to your mind.
"Well… where do you come from?"
Your first question startled her a little bit and you noticed that.
"Is something wrong?" You asked and you got a little concerned that you had started off with the wrong question.
"No…. It's just that… I do not know, exactly" She replied to your surprise.
"You don't know?"
"No, I do not have any memory of ever being…. Born"
"Well, most people do not remember being born" You said, but she looked at you.
"I mean, I do not have any memories of growing up, you see. The only thing I remember is when I opened my eyes for the first time. And I looked just like how you see me now. So, I've always been like this"
"Have you always been…. Like this…?" *You asked a bit surprised.
"Yes. I was created by a powerful entity many many years ago" She explained.
"An entity?" You thought for a few seconds.
"I do not know much more, but he called himself Terra "
"Terra… I see" You said with a small smile.
Elsa looked at you and you could see that she was happy, but her happiness was also mixed with another feeling. Confusion.
"What are you thinking about? You asked
"Oh, no, it's nothing special" She said, but you shook your head.
"It's ok, Elsa. You can tell me. No problem"
"It's just that…. I am happy that I was summoned again after so long, but there is one thing that confuses me" She admitted.
"What is that?" now you were the one a bit confused.
"In all the years I've existed here in this world… No one has ever asked me about… me" She said.
"Out of all the other Masters I've had over the years I've lived, you are the only one who has asked me questions regarding me. Usually they make their three wishes fairly quickly and without any questions. But you, you take the time to get to know me" She looked at you.
"Why…?"
You gave her a small smile.
"Well, it's only natural to want to get to know new people when you meet them. A genie is no different"
"But can I ask you one more question?" you asked and she nodded.
"Well, I hope you won't take this the wrong way but… Can I ask you how long you've… uhm… existed?" You asked nervously as you rubbed the back of your neck.
Elsa just smiled and shook her head.
"Don't worry, I didn't take it the wrong way, so don't think about it" She looked out of your bedroom window.
"I was created 10 000 years ago" She said and your eyes widened with surprise.
"I've witnessed the birth of new species, and the evolution of mankind. I've watched empires rise and fall, and species evolve to adapt to new eras. I was there when the Sumerian people developed the first system for script, when Egypt built their pyramids and temples and evolved into one of the greatest civilizations in history, when Alexander the Great conquered most of the known world, and when Genghis Kahn did the same thing centuries later. I watched the brave Vikings trade and travel the world, the crusaders conquer in the name of Christianity in their campaigns for the Pope, and also how the Brits came to build the largest empire in history of mankind"
She looked at you.
"I was there when the Americans won the revolution against the Redcoats, soon followed by the French revolution that put an end to the autocracy that had been suppressing the majority of the French people for centuries, and also the American Civil war. I could only watch in horror as the first world unfolded and again when the second world war broke out. But I was also elated when the Berlin Wall fell and I got to witness a people again reunited after almost 3 decades of separation"
You could only stare at her in amazement. She gave you a small smile. '
"I've seen it all…" She said, her tone low and soft.
"Thank you" You said, and she once again got a confused look on her face.
"For telling me" You added and she gave you a more whole hearted smile.
"No, I am the one who should thank you. I've never experienced such kindness before, so, thank you so much"
"My pleasure" You said, giving her a warm smile in return.
Suddenly there was a knock on your door before it was opened. It was Agnarr, your father.
You froze as you were sure you and Elsa had just been busted, but as you turned to where she had been standing but the only thing you could see was the lamp. You were relieved your father didn't see anything.
"Who are you talking to?" He asked a when he could only find you in your room.
Your head quickly came up with an answer.
"I was… just on the phone with a friend from school" You said, trying to sound as normal as possible.
"I see. Well, it's getting late so you'd better go to bed" He said and you nodded.
"I will, good night Dad" you said.
He smiled.
"Good night (F/N)"
He closed the door behind him and you let out a sigh.
"Too close for comfort…" You mumbled as you made yourself ready for bed.
As you laid down you looked at the lamp and smiled to yourself.
"Good night Elsa" You whispered before you put out the lights and went to sleep.
At the same time, in an abandoned park shrouded in darkness in an old abandoned isolated, and deserted part of town the ground beneath the rusty merry go round began to lighten up before the ground beneath it suddenly caved in, swallowing the merry go round, creating a huge hole in the ground. Deep into the Earth, almost 13 km below the Earth's surface, someone, or rather something, in a deep sleep, suddenly began to stir. It had the shape of a human aside from it being twice the size of a fully grown man, and, at least, twice as strong as three human men combined. Not to mention the long spikey claws and tail and the massive wings and it's head with curled horns. After a few seconds it opened its eyes that were so dark and with fire red irisis that made it look like there was a fire in its eyes. It's nostrils sent of a big cloud of steam and it's mouth, full of long and razor sharp teeth opened before it let out a long and powerfull huffing noise as it called out one particular name.
"ELSA…"
That's chapter 2 for you.
I hope you liked this chapter, and I'll see you all again next chapter :)
