Know Best
It was a dark room or a hallway at least. Elsa wasn't sure what it was. What she did know that she didn't like it. Dark enclosed spaces made her feel uncomfortable. So she started walking, hoping to find a way out. As she walked, Elsa heard what sounded like footsteps.
"Hello?" she called out. "Who's there? Show yourself!"
"Hello Elsa," A dark voice came from behind her.
Elsa turned around to see a sight she didn't want to see. A man was right there. His hood covered his face, but she can see the evil smirk on it.
"You…" Elsa scowled. "What do you want?"
"No need to be feisty now, darlin'," said the hooded man. "Can't I say hello to an old friend."
"We are NOT friends. We never were, and never will be."
"Well, I consider you my friend. And like friends, I like to catch up. Tell me, Elsa, how's life been for you?"
Elsa didn't even respond to that. This only let the man chuckle.
"Judging by your silence, I could guess it's still pathetic as has been for the past 10 years."
"Still a better life than you ever gave me."
"You consider living alone on a mountain, living off the land, struggled to survive a much better life than I can offer."
"If you can even call abusing me, and what you plan to use me for, a good life! " Elsa snapped back. "Now do me a favor and leave me alone."
"Oh, Elsa I'm only still here because you don't want me to leave."
"Just buzz off already. You're not even real anyway."
"You are right about that. Though I suppose you're not going to tell me about the girl who you saved, first. Tell me about her, I am rather curious."
Elsa sighed in irritation. Why not? This was a dream after all.
"If you really want to know, her name is Anna. I found nearly freezing to death. I took her back to my home and helped her warm up."
"I bet that makes you feel so heroic, doesn't it?" The man mocked.
Elsa ignored him. "She's been staying for a few days and...She's really nice. I think she and I are friends."
"Friends?" The man scoffed. "That's what you believe? You're just as naive as you were. This is why you never should have left!" He walked several feet away from her. "Darlin', this whole friendship that you've invented only proves you really don't belong out there."
He started circling around Elsa.
"Why would she befriend you? Come on now, really?! Look at you! You think that she's impressed?" He walked to the other side of the hallway. "Don't be so silly, come with me. Master…"
"No!" Elsa quipped back. She knows better than to fall for his tricks, dream or not.
"No?" The man was baffled, but his expression quickly turns to an evil smug look. "Oh...I see how it is."
The man started to walk up to her. Not once Elsa moved from her spot.
"Elsa knows best. Elsa's so mature now. Such a clever grown-up miss." He touched Elsa's left cheek and stroke a finger along the scar that lied there. She flinches as he stroked her face. "Elsa knows best. Fine, since you're so sure now. But first, let me tell you this." He suddenly pulled out the small ice figure of Anna.
"What are you-?" Elsa started.
"This is why she's here!" He threw the figurine on the ground, which broke into pieces. "She's just deceiving you. Take control of you, your magic!"
Elsa scrambled on the ground and picked up what was left of the figurine. "You're wrong!"
"Trust me, my dear." He snapped his fingers across his face. "That's how fast she'll turn on you. I won't say I told you so! No, Elsa knows best! So if she's such a 'good friend', go and put her to the test!
"Stop it!" Elsa desperately puts her hands on her ears in her attempt to block him out.
"If this capsized, don't be surprised."
"He's wrong. He's wrong. He's wrong." Elsa tells herself.
"Master knows best!"
"No. No. NO!"
And then everything went black.
(EDIT: I changed some details)
I know this is a really short chapter, but I wanted to post something before Christmas.
Yes, this chapter is inspired by the 'Mother Knows Best Reprise' from Tangled. I even put the lyrics in here (and rewrote some of it) as well. And as I stated before, I kinda suck at making parodies of songs. You guys are welcome to suggest better versions if you want. And whether they're singing or not is up to you.
As for the man that Elsa really despises, he's more than a figment in her dreams. That's all I'm saying.
Thanks for the favs, follows, and reviews. Happy Reading. Also, I wish you all a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year.
