(A/N: So...yeah...to the guest reviewer... I don't really ship Jarida-Jack Frost and Merida-but...I'll try something along that, 'cause, see, I had a different plan for those two :D)
Anna walked around in despair as she slowly walked back to the cabin. Leaves kicked and stirred up beneath her feet. She looked up at the sky, only to see storm clouds gathering; then, in a matter of seconds, it began to rain. Her hair, clothes, and skin were all drenched from the rainwater. With only a t-shirt and some shorts on, she ran through the crummy weather as fast as she could. Unfortunately, a root that stuck out from the ground tripped the redhead. She hit the runny mud hard, and even scraped her elbow against a rock.
"Anna!"
Said girl pushed herself up on her elbows, glanced over her shoulder, and saw Flynn running for his life. She weakly began to rise to her feet. He was screaming like a little girl as the distance between them closed.
"Anna! GET UP!" He yelled in a shrill voice.
"W-why?"
A mountain lion leapt over a group of bushes several yards away from the two. Anna's eyes suddenly widened. Flynn didn't dare to look back.
"THAT'S why!" He replied as the wild animal released a loud roar. The brunette scooped her up in his arms, all while still running. She gripped his shirt and screamed that it was right behind him. "I KNOW!"
A steep hill awaited them. Flynn took one huge leap, but failed in reaching the other side of the gap. He and Anna were sent tumbling down the muddy hill. As they tried to regain their footing, the mountain lion landed right in front of them. Flynn immediately got up and pushed Anna aside, just as she was rising to her feet.
"Hey!"
"Run."
She gave him an astonished look. "What?"
"Run," he repeated as his eyes never left the wild cat before him.
"Flynn-"
"Just. Go."
An arrow suddenly stabbed the untamable beast in its shoulder. The animal let out a howl and collapsed to the ground. Anna and Flynn looked at the top of the hill-where the arrow was shot from-to see Merida standing there. She slowly lowered her bow and smirked down at the two.
"You're welcome," the ginger said. "Now, c'mon. The others are waiting in a cabin nearby."
It suddenly hit Anna. Her blue eyes grew wide as she remembered the other individuals who were at the bonfire. Any of them could've gotten attacked and Merida would never know.
"Is there anyone missing in the group?!"
"Anna, please. You'd think I'd be looked at with a little more responsibility. There's no way I wouldn't have done a head count. The only people we were missing were you two." They exchanged glances. "Seriously, though. We should be heading back. This rainstorm looks like it's gonna follow up with thunder and lightning." She then turned her back towards them and walked down the muddy trail that led to safety.
Anna placed a hand on Flynn Rider's shoulder. "Thanks for saving me."
He looked to her while breathing heavily, obviously exhausted from the running. "I merely made sure you weren't in the way. It's Merida who deserves the thanks for killing that thing." Anna cupped her hands around her mouth to speak, but Flynn cut her off. "Of course, I should be treated to some praise in all of this."
Merida, Anna, and Flynn all returned to the cabin together. Elsa eagerly ran to her sister and threw her arms around the redhead. Anna hugged her back.
"You're okay," the Queen whispered with relief.
"I didn't mean to worry you," Anna replied apologetically.
Elsa pulled back and gave her a quick once-over. "It was more than just about being worried." She placed a hand on her sibling's head. "I was afraid that I'd lost you."
The two of them hugged again, that time on the verge of tears. Rapunzel plopped on a nearby couch and let out a loud sigh. That crazy chase, not to mention having a hide-and-seek game as a follow-up, really took every ounce of her spirited energy. Everyone could agree that the remainder of the bonfire event would have to be set aside for another day. After all, the group of young adults and teenagers had a whole month, meaning that there'd be plenty of time to bond.
Later that evening, Anna was told that Kristoff had just barely escaped with his life in the midst of the hunt. That mountain lion had left three deep scratches in his back. He kept assuring he that he was perfectly fine, but his hobbling around convinced her otherwise.
"You need to lay down," Anna said sternly and helped him to the bottom bunk. Sven trotted his way over and nudged his nose against Kristoff's shoulder. "Don't move a whole lot. I'm going to go into town and get you medicinal herbs."
"Anna," Elsa spoke up, ignoring the fact that everyone behind her had their eyes on her. "All the shops in town are closed. It's midnight. We'll walk down there first thing tomorrow."
"It is tomorrow," Hiccup mumbled.
"Then Anna and I will go downtown at some point this morning," Elsa responded with a slight roll of her eyes. "Is it okay if I go with you?" Her sister nodded, earning a smile from the latter.
Rapunzel then remembered something. She got up from the couch and walked across the room. The blonde looked at Anna.
"Help me roll him over."
The two princesses carefully rolled Kristoff over on his side. Rapunzel took the ends of her hair and pressed them against the man's back. She began reciting her healing song as her hair glowed a brilliant topaz.
Flower, gleam and glow
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine
The golden-haired princess slowly opened her eyes and allowed her tresses to fall gracefully. Kristoff slowly sat up and reached his arm back to touch where his wound was. There was no blood or anything.
He looked up at her incredulously. "You really healed me..." She nodded and folded her hands in front of her. "Thank you."
"Oh, it's nothing," Punzie insisted and waved her hand dismissively. Anna hugged her tight and thanked her for the good deed.
