Anna had never felt so alone and yet so exposed at the same time.

The guards stood by the doorway, shotguns at the ready, and not saying a word. The late "Blondie" was there as well, staring at Anna with her dead eyes. She wondered why Elsa hadn't closed her back into the doorway from which she came from...but then realized that her sister had probably kept her out on purpose just to make her even more uncomfortable than she already was.

There was an almost unbearable silence for what at least felt like hours. Anna wasn't sure if she was allowed to move or speak, and didn't dare to ask if she could do either. Finally, the doorway opened, and a young, blonde-haired officer entered, carrying a bag that made a loud, jingling sound. On the outside, Anna would've just assumed that was the sound of his car keys, but in this place she knew that there must've been chains of some sort in the bag, and that they were intended for her.

"Good morning, Anna," the guard said.

Anna rolled her eyes.

"Not so good from where I'm standing," she said. "You're not the one standing here cold and naked."

She realized too late that she had completely spoken out of line.

"I'm sorry, sir," she said, babbling a bit. "I appologize, sir. It's just been a rough morning, sir. Forgive me, sir."

The guard smiled.

"It's Kristoff, actually," he said. "Although 'sir' does have a nice ring to it."

Anna was puzzled. This wasn't the kind of reaction she expected from a prison guard...especially after what she had just been through with Elsa.

It was only then when she realized, however, that she was standing fully nude in front of a male for the first time in forever.

"Hey," said Anna, suddenly more annoyed than frightened. "How come I don't have a female guard right now, sir? Isn't that my right?"

"Your 'rights' pretty much went down the toilet when you got arrested, sweetheart," he said. "And relax. You have nothing I haven't seen many times before."

"Oh, thanks for that, sir," said Anna. "That makes me feel so much less humiliated right now."

"So being naked in front of your own sister was a piece of cake then, correct?" said Kristoff, folding his arms.

Anna gulped.

"You...you know about that...sir?" she asked, feeling something growling in the pit of her stomache.

"Please," said Kristoff. "You honestly think the warden's own sister would arrive at Frozen Heart as an inmate without the prison's staff knowing?"

Anna didn't know what to say.

"Okay," said Kristoff. "Here's the deal. I need to give you a quick search, a shower, and a prison uniform. After that, it's mugshots, prints, and then you're off to your cell. Sounds fun, right?"

Anna pouted.

"I want a female guard," she mumbled, although she knew in her heart that she wasn't going to win on this one.

She took a deep breath and braced herself. Maybe if she closed her eyes it would be better? At least then she wouldn't have to look at "Blondie" for a while.

But before she could decide if she wanted her eyes open or shut, she heard a loud snapping sound behind her, and knew that Kristoff must've put a pair of plastic gloves on. This could only mean one thing, and her sheer nervousness caused her upset tummy to get the better of her.

She let out a loud, long belch.

"Oh, sir, I'm so, so sorry!" went Anna, blushing furiously. "I just...I thought I...I told you I should've had a female guard..."

"Anna, relax!" Kristoff yelled. "Everyone's scared on their first day in prison, but I need for you to calm down, okay?"

She placed her head down.

"Yes, sir," she said softly.

She said nothing more as Kristoff went on to search her everywhere (yes, everywhere), and didn't even object when he told her to provide a urine sample...although she did have to make "water sloshing sounds" with her mouth in order to get herself to do so.

Finally, it was all over. Kristoff clapped his hands together.

"There," he said as he threw the gloves away. "That wasn't so bad, was it?"

Anna said nothing. She just pinched her arm.

"What are you doing?"

"Just seeing if I'm dreaming, sir," she said meakly. "I'm not."

Kristoff looked at Anna for a moment. It seemed as though he was examining her in some way.

"Well, I'll be right back with your clothing," he said, scratching the back of his neck. "Don't go anywhere now."

"Oh, I won't," said Anna glumly. She figured that Kristoff was making an attempt at a joke, but nothing was very funny to her at the moment.

He then left the room without another word, and for the first time that day, Anna finally let her tears flow. For reasons that were beyond her, she didn't want for Kristoff to see them.
