Chapter Two: Anna's Thoughts
Theme Song: Momento by Myuu
Anna laid in bed with a bad bought of insomnia as the Northern Lights danced in the sky just outside her bedroom window. Apparently, staring at the ceiling couldn't help one get to sleep at all. What was keeping her awake? Anna would say that she was awake because the sky was awake. But it was in fact her excitement over how she and her sister would soon be sharing a room again like when they were kids that was keeping her up.
As the princess lay awake, the Northern Lights streamed in through the triangular window, shining their blueish green lights on the floor of the bedroom. The fire in the hearth, which was located in the corner of the room, shone softly in the dark as the light from its dying flames caressed the princess's blankets, as if lovingly smoothing them out.
Well, staring at the ceiling isn't going to help me, she thought to herself. What should I do? Rolling over on her side, she took one of her pillows and hugged it to her chest and let her tired mind wander. Hugs… Warm hugs... Olaf… Snowman… Elsa. I wonder… if Elsa would like to build a snowman? Anna pondered. Welp, only one way to find out! Throwing back the blankets, Anna swung her legs over the side of the bed, and after slipping on her slippers, stood up. Unfortunately, being in bed was much warmer that being out of bed—as I'm sure many of you know—and the princess shivered from a cool draft. Striding over to her closet, she pulled out her robe and quickly threw it on. The purple robe was nice and warm and snug and reached all the way to the bottom of her green night gown.
Passing her clock on the way to the door, the princess noticed that it was around two in the morning. Very late indeed! Running a hand through her messy hair to try and even it out a bit, Anna slowly opened the door to her room, exited, and then carefully shut it behind her. The five year old inside her told her that she should make as little noise as possible so that she wouldn't be caught being up past her bedtime, whereas her commonsense just told her to be quiet so that the servants wouldn't wake up.
Wrapping her robe more tightly around herself, Anna crept down the vast hallways to her sister's room. The full summer moon shone through the windows, lighting the way. However, when she entered halls that didn't have windows, she simply had to let her eyes adjust to the darkness.
Finally, she rounded the corner that led to the queen's room. A faint flickering light shone from the crack under the door, probably from a candle or the fireplace. As she neared the door, she could hear the sound of someone talking, and quite angrily. Who in the world would Elsa be talking to in her room at two in the morning? Anna thought to herself. Quickening her pace, she reached the door and hastily bent down to look through the key hole.
I know that I said in my bio that I would be updating anywhere from once every few weeks to once a month, but I have about ten chapters already written and I'm very excited to finally have a FanFiction account. So… we'll see how long my patience can last. :3
