Chapter three: The Accident

Note: I do not own Frozen, just the idea.

Ring Ring! Ring Ring!

Elsa jumped off the couch in surprise and fell with her head hitting the ground first. Fuck! She noticed the floor had a few drops of blood on it. Goddamnit! My nose is bleeding. She stood up and covered her nose.

Ring Ring! Ring Ring!

It kept ringing non-stop and annoyed her for a long while until it stopped. Who's calling my god. The platinum blonde walked to her countertop and took a piece of tissue paper from the tissue box she bought not a while ago, she wiped her nose blood slowly as she cupped her nose. She walked over to the couch and wiped the blood off the floor, she threw the bloody tissue in the trash. Who called me? She wondered.

Ring Ring! Ring Ring!

Oh my god, not again. Elsa walked back to the couch and grabbed her phone to look at the caller ID. Mulan? Why would she be calling at 9 pm at night? She swiped the answer button. "Hello? Do you know it's late?" Elsa said with a heavy tone. "H-ha sorry. Just wanted to call you to check on you." Mulan said softly. This was strange, Mulan never calls Elsa to 'check' on her or anything. She never did, why would she now?

"Hey don't lie to me. You never check on me." The platinum blonde sat down on her couch. OOF. She made a sound as she jumped. "Hey. What….I can't be a good friend?" Mulan said sarcastically. Elsa raised an eyebrow and rolled her eyes countless times. "Fine, I'm good. You?" Elsa finally answered in a defeated tone.

Elsa walked over to her kitchen and opened her fridge slowly. She took a bottle of water and closed the fridge.

"I'm alright. You know….you have been acting funny ever since Anna." Mulan smirked at herself. As she heard what Mulan said, she choked on her drink. "KOFF HACK KOFF KOFF." The choking eventually stopped, she took a deep breath.

"Hmm...that's an interesting reaction I never thought of." Mulan slapped her leg as she laughed. Yeah yeah keep laughing, let's see if you still laugh tomorrow. "Sorry sorry." Mulan wiped the tears off her eyes. "None of my business. But why Anna though?" She asked curiously, hoping not to get screamed at.

Don't say it Elsa don't say it. You know you like her, don't say it. Elsa didn't answer her question. "Oh" Mulan thought she cracked Elsa's mind. "You like her don't you?" Shit! You should have said something, dumbass!

A little.

"No." Elsa answered with hesitation. "You hesitated." God you're hopeless. Father taught you the ways to lie. You just forgot all your lessons. The platinum blonde hung up on Mulan and put her phone on the countertop.

Ding!

She took her food out of the microwave. Ow ow ow. That's hot. She shook her hands in the air to cool them off. The platinum blonde put her microwaved dinner on the dining table. She ate her food while checking on her phone.

Buzz buzz…..

Her phone vibrated. "Hey Elsa, sorry about today. Still up for the coffee tomorrow?" Elsa giggled at Anna's text. Cute, should I bring her flowers? Wait, it's not a date. Wait what?Elsa what are you thinking??!?

She left Anna on read for a few minutes. "Yeah let's do it. *Winky face*" Elsa sent her a message, she put down her phone and continued eating.

Anna's POV (Third Person)

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Anna jumped and did her victory dance in her room. A few knocks were heard from the door before Anna could answer it, Kristoff ran into the room immediately. "Are you okay, Anna? I heard you shouting." Kristoff looked worried. "Oh you're doing that dance again. Tell me what's going on." He chuckled and gave her a wink.

Everytime when Anna gets excited, she shouts and does her victory dance. It's no surprise that people would be concerned by the screams.

"The last time I saw you this excited, was when mum and dad took us to the zoo when we're seven." Kristoff realised what he said. They promised each other they wouldn't talk about their parents in their conversation ever since the accident that took both of their lives. Everytime they think about their parents, it would only cause more unnecessary pain to go through again.

Anna looked down and sighed, staring at the pink carpet on her floor. "Hey, I'm sorry." Kristoff apologised and sat down on Anna's bed. She walked over to her bed and sat next to him. "You know it's hard. Ever since the accident." Anna laid her head on his shoulder. "At least I still have you." Tears began to drop down from Anna's eyes. "Hey…..it's okay." He wiped Anna's tears with his thumb. "I love you, bro." She hugged him tightly. "I love you too, sis." He hugged him back.

The next morning……

"Shit shit shit. I'm so late for work." Anna brushed her teeth and got dressed quickly. It was 7:40. She ran downstairs and grabbed her bread, she took a few bites and ran out the door. Shit! My car broke down last week and Olaf can't drive me to work. She started to run to her work place, on her way running, Elsa spotted Anna's running on the street. The platinum blonde pulled over and yelled "Hey Anna!" Anna looked back to see who was yelling her name so loudly. She saw Elsa and began to walk towards her. "Hey." Anna licked her lips. "Need a ride?" Elsa offered and gave her a smirk.

"Really?" The strawberry blonde asked. Elsa simply nodded and got into the car with Anna. "So…..why were you running?" She knew the answer but still asked her. Well Elsa is a detective after all. "My car broke down last week and I had nobody to drive me to work. Plus my alarm clock didn't work today." She sighed. "Hey, wait how do you know my name?" Anna raised an eyebrow and looked at Elsa who was driving. "Mulan told me." She said calmly.

Elsa noticed Anna's eyes were red. It seemed like she had been crying. She wanted to ask her but didn't want to make her mad or anything. "I know you're looking at me." Anna mumbled. "Oh haha. Had you been crying last night?" Elsa asked curiously. "My brother and I talked about our parents. Yeah things got a little emotional." Anna tried to force out a smile. Elsa sighed, "Hey, you can talk to me, I know it's none of my business." Elsa looked back at the road, waiting for the traffic lights to go green.

"My parents passed 9 years ago. We were driving to Walmart when a car started following us. At first we thought it was nothing and ignored it but they noticed a man was peeking out of the car behind us. My brother Kristoff told me the man was holding a gun at us. I didn't believe him at first but a few gunshots were fired and made me scream. My dad started speeding and tried to get away from those men. The next thing I knew I was laying on the ground with my brother unconscious, I tried to call for help but I couldn't, I was too weak to. Maybe if I was strong enough mum and dad wouldn't be dead." Anna started crying, with tears ran down like a river.

"I'm sorry Anna I didn't know." Elsa gave her a box of tissues. "It's okay." She wiped the tears off her cheeks.

"I'm sorry for your loss." Elsa gave her a sincere smile.

"Thank you." Anna returned the smile with a heart warming hug. "ANNA I'M DRIVING HERE." Elsa shouted. "You really do like to violate other's ears." Anna joked. "Hey Anna, can you tell me your last name?" Elsa hoped she didn't sound creepy by asking that. "Oh it's Menzel, Anna Menzel." Anna looked at her, she noticed Elsa's expression had changed. From her iconic smirk to a worried one. "Is everything okay?" Anna asked, she stared at Elsa's blue icy eyes. God they're beautiful. I can definitely get lost in them. Elsa changed her expression immediately.

She turned her head to Anna as they were waiting for the traffic light. They locked eyes and stared at each other. Moments passed by without having them knowing. Beep! The sound of a car horn sent them back to reality. The sound was from the cars behind them.

"Sorry." She shook her head continuously and started to drive. They eventually arrived at the Arendelle Police Department. Wooooo five minutes left until 8:00 thank God. Anna wiped the sweat off her forehead. "Thanks, Elsa." She hugged her again, this time it made Elsa blush. Her face was red, really red.

"Hey Elsa." Mulan waved at them. "Elsa...your face is red." Mulan tried to hold back her laughter but failed miserably. Elsa covered her face with both of her hands, not allowing anybody to see her. She flushed in embarrassment. "Looks like the Ice Queen has melted." Mulan looked at Anna.

Elsa had enough of this, she gave Mulan an icy glare. She felt the power of the glare down her spine. Elsa walked away, leaving her shaking in fear. "Looks like the Ice Queen is back." Anna joked around. "Yeah….we should really go back to work. Mulan told Anna and waved her goodbye.

Elsa's POV (Third Person)

She is a Menzel…..how is that possible. Elsa sat down on her office chair, turning on her laptop. If Anna is the daughter of Agnarr Menzel, she shouldn't even be alive. Well she did tell me about the car 'accident', men in black were following them. She was lost in her thoughts. If she is actually the daughter of Agnarr, then she's in great danger.

Elsa slid her finger down her laptop's touchpad, she began to do some research on her own. She cracked the code and got into the Arendelle Police Department's employee file. Those files are locked, only the Captain of the department and the government could view them legally. But her father had somebody to teach her to hack when she was 15.

When people say fathers teach things that mothers don't teach, nobody thought of actually teaching your kid to hack into the government. But she enjoyed her lessons, it was far more interesting than learning how to throw and catch a ball like the other children.

Menzel Menzel Menzel. Gotcha. She clicked into Anna Menzel's file. Anna Menzel: Father Agnarr Menzel. Mother: Iduna Summers. Elsa was shook, the only thing she could do at the time was let out a small gasp. She covered her mouth and got really worried. Oh Anna…...you don't even know what's going to happen. She took her phone from her bag and entered the caller ID. "Hello? Kai?" Elsa talked through the phone, hoping somebody to answer. No she wasn't hoping, she was begging for somebody to answer. For the first time, she was worried.

"Hello dear Elsa. Why did you call me?" Kai picked up his phone and talked softly. "Hey…can you do me a favor please?" Elsa's tone was begging for him to say yes. "You sound worried dear Elsa, is there something wrong?" Kai answered with a worry tone. "No Kai, can you just please do me a favor? I'll be so grateful." Elsa stared at the window as she talked to the phone.

"Yes of course. What do I need to do?" Kai accepted politely. He wouldn't say no to Elsa, he was like a family to her. He took care of her whenever Elsa's father was not around. Kai worked for Elsa's father, but that didn't stop him from helping her. "Do you remember the Menzel car accident in 2011? I need the footage of the accident please." Elsa kept staring at the window as she answered the phone.

"Dearest Elsa, you know your father wouldn't be happy about that. But I will try my best." Her father wouldn't just be upset, he would kill her, he would destroy her. Even if she's his daughter. Nobody dared to stand in Racco Winters's way. The well known hitman in the black market. Elsa never wanted to be in her father's business. Rocco has been teaching her how to kill since she was nine. He taught her everything she had to know about crime.

"Elsa I need to go now goodbye." Kai hung up the phone, Elsa sighed and continued her research. She did some research on the security files and found one of the Menzel Accident footage. She pressed play and started to watch. Oh my god. She covered her mouth. It was horrible, she just witnessed the deaths of Anna's parents. But it didn't make sense, there were no men in black or even a car. There was no car following them, the Menzels crashed into a random tree on the side of the road. It wasn't Anna's version at all.

There was part of her that felt pity for Anna, but there were also parts she felt satisfied. The death of the Menzels gave her satisfaction. No! Elsa! No! She deserves better! Elsa was fighting with her inner demons. She knew it was wrong to feel that way, but it felt so right. That was the way her father wanted her to feel after every killing. I'm sorry Anna…...
