Anna glanced about the living room of her new home. Her Mother had said that she got to be like a big girl and have her own place for a while, maybe longer. How long was awhile? A day or two, a few weeks maybe? Months? The little seven year old didn't care how long it was, she didn't want to stay here at all. She wanted to go home. Why couldn't she stay home? She looked down remembering why, the Monsters. Oaken had wanted her closer so that he could do his studies to try and find out just what they were, and why they were attacking her.

She turned slowly to face the three adults who stood by the door, observing her actions, absently messing with the end of one of her short twin braids.

Her Mother was there of course, she looked as worried as Anna felt, and her doctor, Oaken, and a younger man whom Anna had known for only a few months, Oaken's new assistant Sven.

Sven, as she had quickly learned, was an odd man. Very sweet and kind, but defiantly odd, and smelly, but not in a super bad way. He was much shorter then Oaken and was also much more laid back then the good doctor. Muscular, but not bulky, Sven had tanned skin from years of surfing the coast before settling into a respectable occupation and short chopped light brown hair, and a smile that was contagious to anyone, even her Mother. Anna had decided quickly that she liked Sven.

But now the three of them stood there watching her. Were they waiting for her?

Oaken was the first to speak "Do you like the apartment, Anna?"

She responds with a simple nod and a "Its fine"

Her Mother kneeled down in front of her and hugged the girl gently. She stood and gripped Anna's small shoulders and smiled softly. "You'll be fine, Anna" she assured the young girl. Madam Gothel ran a hand over Anna's head and cupped her cheek. "I love you"

"I love you more" Anna replied quietly.

"I love you most" the black haired woman said as she gently tapped the little red heads freckled nose and hurried out of the room without so much as a goodbye.

She had just left, with no word of when she would be back, if she was indeed going to be comeing back for her. But why would she? All Anna seemed to do was cause accidents at home, be it from Elsa's ice or her own clumsiness. What Mother would want that? None, no mother wanted that. A daughter was supposed to be graceful, a parents pride and joy. But Anna wasn't that. She looked down and bites back a small sniffle before she felt a great pair of arms wrap around her and hold her close.

"Oh little Anna, worry not. It will not be long before you are home again. You trust Oaken, Ya?" the man asked quietly while rubbing slow circles on her back. When he felt her nod he stepped back "Good girl, you are so brave little Anna" his smile showed through his mustache as he ruffled the girls hair. "Now, the hour grows late, and the time for sleep is upon you. Why don't you get ready for bed?"

"Okay" Anna replied quietly as she walked back into her room. She heard the door close, signalling to her that Oaken and Sven had left. She pulled open a drawer in her dresser and retrieved her pajamas, her favourite pair that were covered in a green crocus print. Holding them close she hurried into the attached washroom and got changed. When she emerged a voice filled the room and startled her.

"Ready for bed snowflake?" Sven's low and calming voice drifted through a speaker system.

"y-yes" she managed to squeak out.

Sven chuckled as he walked into the room "Sorry Anna, I didn't mean to startle you" he motioned to the cameras and speakers around the apartment "Oaken had these installed so we could watch over you, make sure you're ok. Kinda like guardian angels, of something like that" he smiled kindly "Want me to tuck you in, Snowflake?"

Anna pouted "I'm a big girl, I can look after myself, and put myself to bed" she looked down and clasped her hands together "But, I guess you could tuck me in. Just tonight though!" she said as she hurried into her room, grabbing her flashlight and stuffed dog as she went, and hopped into bed.

Sven chuckled and muttered something about cute kids under his breath as he approached the bed. He pulled the covers up to her chin, making sure that the dog was just as covered "There go, snug as a bug" he smiled "You sleep well kiddo. I'll just be in the next room over there, so if you need anything just call, I'll be there" he flicked off the light in the bedroom and made his way to the door, but just before he turned off the light in the living room, Anna sat up with a little cry.

"NO! N-Not that light!" she whimpered "Could you leave it on? Please?"

Sven removed his hand from the light switch and smiled sweetly "Scared of the dark, Snowflake?"

Anna shook her head, hugging the dog tightly "Not me, Elsa. The dark makes her feel lonely"

"Ah, for Elsa. Okay, I'll leave the light on, but you get some sleep. Goodnight Anna"

"Night, Sven" she called back as he left.

Anna lay back down and held the stuffed dog above her head. It was the strangest dog she had ever seen but she loved it all the same. The plush of its fur was a blue colour with darker blue markings and its ears were big like those of a rabbit. Big black eyes and a big blue nose dominated its face, and it's human like arms and legs ended in clawed fingers and toes. The girl hugged it tightly "Goodnight, Stitch" she muttered as she curled up "Good night Elsa."

After much tossing and turning, Anna groaned. She just couldn't get to sleep. "Elsa" she whispered "Would you let me a story?" she smiled softly "Thanks Elsa" she picked up her flashlight and directed its beam of light to the ceiling and waited.

Slowly frosty images began to materialize in the light. A little fox and a dog bounded happily about the light. Their antics brought a smile and a small giggle to Anna as the frost images played. She loved it when Elsa used her powers to make her happy, it made the times when they were scary more bearable.

Both the images and Anna's quiet giggles stopped suddenly when the light began to flicker. "Batteries" Anna said nervously "Probably just the batteries, right Elsa?" She tried to keep calm. There was nothing to fear, they couldn't get her here. She thought to herself, a thought that lasted only until the bedside lamp began to flicker wildly. "No no no no no" she muttered, curling up tightly "Leave me alone! Leave me al-AHHH!" she screamed in terror as a presence gripped her ankle tightly and ripped her from her bed. "SVEN!" she cried as she was tossed about like a doll. When no reply came she screamed louder. Why was no one coming to help her? Her back hit the dresser as she was tossed again. "Elsa" she whimpered "Elsa, get help! Get Sven!" she cried as the Entities continued their assault.


Elsa hovered feet above the young girl she was bound to. She could see the shimmering shadows that were attacking her host and backed up in fear. "Elsa!" the girl was crying out for her "Elsa, get help! Get Sven!" she cried. Sven? One of the men who had trapped them in this room, and taken them away from the woman whom Anna called Mother? Why? Her mind was racing till she remembered that the monsters always seemed to leave when an adult came to their aide. She tugged at their link as she moved further and further away from the girl and her suffering. She had to get to the man.

She fazed through the wall that separated the girl's apartment and the observation room. She gazed franticly around until she saw the man she was looking for. Sven sat slouched back in his seat snoring loudly. How could he sleep as such when Anna was in danger! Elsa tried to call out to the man, but possessing no voice she was unable to make even a sound. How was she to wake him if he could not hear her as Anna did?

As her panic rose the temperature in the room began to drop, causing Sven to shiver and twist in his sleep. That's when it hit her. Her cold, her ice. She moved closer to Sven and trailed ice along his arm before causing it to dog painfully into his skin.

Sven awoke with a cry and brushed the ice off of his arm "That was mean" he growled sleepily before his eyes drifted to the frost covered screens and saw Anna floating in the air, held aloft by an unknown being. "Anna!" he was on his feet and at the door in seconds and threw his body against it several times in an attempt to get it open "Damn it! Anna the door is stuck! Hold tight, I'm going to get Oaken and we will get you out of there!" he yelled as he rushed out of the room.

Going to get Oaken? How long would that take? She could feel Anna's pain. Would they make it back in time? It was possible that they would, but it was not absolute. With a shudder she passed back into the room and watched fearfully as the shadows knocked Anna about. A particularly rough strike carved a cut into Anna's right cheek and Elsa felt rage course through her being. They were going to kill her host. Anna, her Anna would die if she continued to do nothing. Spurred on by Anna's shriek of pain, Elsa rushed forward, blasting the Entity nearest to her with frigid ice, knocking it away. The next blast was aimed at the one that held Anna, sending the girl in the ground. There was pounding at the door, the man were back but Elsa still fought on. For Anna, She would do everything she could to keep her safe. These shadow beings were nothing against her ice.

One last blast had the fowl creatures fleeing the room. The door opened slowly and Elsa returned to Anna. She felt exhausted. It was a new feeling, but a welcome one that warmed her ever so slightly as she nestled herself back in her host.


Oaken and Sven rushed into the room gazing at the destruction around them in fear for the girl. "Anna?" Oaken moved through the apartment and looked into her bedroom. Anna was leaning against the foot of her bed covered in bumps and bruises, the cut on her cheek bleeding steadily. "Anna!" within a few strides Oaken is by her side, pulling her into a tight hug "It's okay now Little Anna, they're gone. You're safe" he rocked the girl as he spoke.

"I know" Anna's voice is small, yet holds a new strength to it "Don't worry Oaken. They won't come back, and even if they do, I'll be okay now"

Oaken leans back and looks at the girl questioningly "How are you knowing this little one?" he asked calmly.

"Because Elsa is brave now. They don't scare her anymore" she held a hand to her heart as she continued "And I know that Elsa will always protect me. Always"
