Elsa glanced at the wrist watch she had on and noticed it was going on two in the morning. Looking out the window, the blonde noticed that the population of bitters was growing in the outskirts of their small town. Letting out a sigh she looked on the bed and her eyes caught Olafs.
"Sweetie its late, you should be sleeping." the words came out in a soft whisper as she stood from the chair by the desk, moving over to the bed.
The pale woman pulled the boy into her lap and ran her hands through his hair. "I know mom, but I was thinking." He adjusted his head and looked up at her. "Could you sing to me? Like you used to?"
Elsa smiled at him and nodded her head. "Of course I can, we just have to be quiet so we don't wake the others, okay?"
The boy smiled and shook his head, resting against his mother as she started to sing a soft melody.
In the living room of the apartment, Kristoff and Anna where asleep on the floor. The red-head started to stir and her eyes widened as she realized she couldn't move. Taking a deep breath and looking over she noticed an arm was around her torso.
Raising an eyebrow she slowly wiggled her way out of the mans grip and sat up, looking at the sleeping Kristoff.
"I thought you wanted the couch?" she whispered mostly to herself and then stood from the floor.
Her teal eyes tried to adjust to the dark as she felt the wall, walking down the hallway. She went into the bathroom and while washing her hands, noticed a sound that caught her attention.
Leaving the rest room, Anna walked quietly down the hall and noticed it was singing.
The door to Elsa's room was slightly open and she could see the light spilling into the hallway as she slowly pushed the door open and leaned against the door frame.
The smile on the red-heads face as she listened to this woman sing quickly fell as Elsa looked up at her.
"oh...I'm so sorry, I should have knocked." the stuttered words made Elsa smile wide as she shook her head.
"It's okay, I heard you walking down the hall." As she said that, the woman looked down at Olaf and noticed he was sound asleep. Placing him on the bed she stood up and motioned for Anna to sit in the chair.
"Can't sleep?" Was Anna's only response as she sat down, looking up at the pale woman who leaned against the wall.
"No, I just didn't want to, in case this was all a dream and I woke up as soon as I closed my eyes." She frowned slightly as she looked over at the sleeping boy and then to the red-head.
"What about you?" She looked to the ground and felt slightly nervous. "You seemed pretty comfortable out there with Kristoff."
Anna let out an awkward giggle as she looked at the door. "Yeah, about that, sometimes he just does it." she looked up at Elsa and noticed the woman was looking at her with a small smile.
"How long have you guys been together?" This question took Anna by surprise and she threw her hands up, shaking her head.
"Oh no, me and Kristoff? He is my best friend..I mean, sometimes I think he wants to be more than that, but he is like a brother to me." She felt the blush that was on her face as she looked up at Elsa.
Maybe it was Anna's imagination, but she could have sworn that Elsa had a look of relief wash over her. She shrugged it off and then looked over at Olaf.
"What about you? Who is the lucky man?" the red-head instantly regretted the question when she noticed the look of hurt flash across the woman's face. Elsa almost looked primal, like she was going to run as soon as the question left Anna's mouth.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't be nosy." she whispered as she stood up from the chair and frowned. "I can leave you alone if you would like."
"No, its okay, I just don't like talking about it." She whispered as she held her arms close to her torso.
Anna yawned and then looked up at the woman who stood taller than her by an inch or two. "I should get back to sleep anyway, It was nice speaking with you."
Elsa just nodded and then grabbed Anna's arm as she walked past her. "If you can't sleep, or just want to talk. I'm usually awake in here." She let the words role of her tongue before she could stop them.
The freckled-faced woman smiled from ear to ear and shook her head. "Okay, sounds great."
Then she closed the door behind her and went out to the living room, laying down on the couch. As she closed her eyes to go back to sleep, the only thing she could hear in her head was Elsa's beautiful singing, and she went to bed with a smile on her face.
oOoOoOoOoOoOo
The light in the living room finally caught up to the red-head as she turned from the back of the couch, rubbing her eyes. She could hear a conversation but wasn't to sure who it was or what they were saying.
Sitting up from the couch, she let out a big yawn and then looked into the kitchen. Kristoff and Eugene were standing there, coffee mugs in their hands.
Anna stood up and grabbed the blanket that she had around her waist, pulling it over her shoulders. "Morning guys."
Her voice broke the boys conversation as they looked over to the red-head and smiled. "Good morning sunshine."
Kristoff smiled at her and then handed her his mug, giving her a sip of it. As she put the mug up to her lips, she instantly regretted it.
"aww, Kristoff you know I hate coffee." She ran a hand across her mouth and jokingly punched the blonde in the arm.
"I know, I just wanted to see if you would drink it." Eugene laughed at this and then they all went to sit at the table.
About an hour went by of just the three of them talking, when they looked up at the sleepy boy who came walking out of Elsa's room, rubbing his eyes and looking up at Anna.
"Where is my mom?" he asked the words in a very sleepy voice as he walked up to Anna and held his arms out.
The red-head picked him up and set him in her lap, resting her chin on his head. "She went out to get some things, she tends to do that a lot." came Eugene's reply as he looked at the boy.
"She went out on her own?" The teal eyes widened with worry as she looked at the male.
"Yeah, she does it very often, Rapunzel and I have just gotten used to it." he shrugged but Anna didn't like the idea at all.
"She shouldn't do that, especially not with Olaf being here now." Kristoff nodded and looked at Eugene. "She has a point."
"I know, try telling her that, she is as stubborn as a mule." As he said that, the front door flew open and Elsa walked in, flinging the bag that was over her shoulder onto the couch.
"Hey guys." She smiled and it only grew bigger as she noticed Olaf on Anna's lap. "Did you eat yet?"
Everyone just looked at her and then Eugene shook his head. "Anna just got up about an hour or two ago, and Olaf just crawled out of bed a few minutes ago." The small boy slid out of Anna's lap and walked over to Elsa.
She smiled and picked him up, setting him on her hip and walking over to the table. "Okay, I can cook breakfast if you want, Where is Rapunzel?"
Eugene just smiled and leaned back in the chair. "She is resting in our room, had a pretty long night." he had a sense of mischief in his voice and Elsa walked over, punching him playfully.
Everyone laughed at this and continued to talk as Elsa set Olaf down and went to make breakfast.
Once everyone ate and the dishes had been care of, Anna looked up at Elsa. "Does the shower work here?"
Elsa smiled and finished chewing the piece of bread in her hand as she pushed herself off the wall she was leaning on. "Yeah, even have hot water."
Anna's face lit up and she stood quickly. "Hot water! That's great! Wait, how do you have hot water, or electricity for that matter." It had never really hit Anna that the apartment she was in was working fine, the electric and the sink water.
"Eugene set it all up." The blonde woman pointed at the man on the couch. "He is a real thief, got a bunch of generators and rigged up the place."
Elsa walked over to Anna and took her hand. "Come on, I'll show you where everything is."
Once Elsa showed her how to turn the shower on and where the towels were at, Anna stripped down and stepped into the hot water. It felt so good to have the water wash all the dirt and blood away.
She was careful as she washed around her leg wound, but noticed that it was healing rather quickly. Once she was clean, she turned off the shower and wrapped the small towel around her body.
The red-head went through the bag she brought in, which had the clothes she took from the store, and started to dress herself. Once she put on her underwear and bra, she slipped a light green shirt on that fell of one shoulder and looked at her leg.
Realizing that she didn't know where Elsa put the first aid kit, or how the woman bandaged it, she peeked her head out the door. "Hey Elsa, could you come here for a sec."
The blonde, who was talking to Eugene about a food run they would be going on, heard the woman and smiled. "Yeah, give me a sec."
She walked down the hall and into the bathroom, blushing slightly at the woman in front of her, wearing only her loose-fitting shirt and panties. "Could you help me with my leg again?"
The question pulled Elsa out of her thoughts and she nodded. "Oh yeah, of course, just sit down like last time."
Elsa quickly went to work on the other woman's leg, noticing how hot her skin felt against the pale woman's skin as her arm or hand would touch make contact.
She wrapped the wound up and then looked up at into the teal eyes of the red-head. "There you go, all better." her words came out like a whisper as she couldn't help but look at the woman's beautiful face.
It was littered with freckles and her lips were pale pink, the deep blue eyes of the pale woman couldn't help but lock onto her lips.
"Thank you." the words knocked Elsa out of her trance as she cleared her throat and looked down.
The pale woman stood up and put the kit away. "Just be careful, wouldn't want the wound to rip open again." and with that she smiled at Anna and walked out of the room.
Anna blushed and thought about Elsa being so close to her face, those deep blue eyes looking right at her. She shook head and calmed herself as she finished getting dressed.
When she walked out of the bathroom she noticed Elsa, Kristoff and Eugene had their weapons in hand and bags on their back. Elsa was strapping her gun to her side when she looked up and caught Anna's eye.
"Where are you guys going?" Anna looked at the three of them and then over to Rapunzel who was on the couch now.
"Eugene invited me to go on a food and medicine run with him." Kristoff looked down at Anna and walked over to her. "I hope that is okay with you."
She smiled and shook her head. "Of course, I'm not your mom" she laughed slightly and then slapped him in the arm. "But, I am going to tell you to be careful."
She looked up at Elsa and smiled. "You be careful too, I better not have to play doctor on you because you get hurt." The words made Elsa grin and she blushed slightly.
"What about me? It's okay for me to get hurt?" Eugene pretended to be offended and then smiled at Anna. "We will be back before dark."
He walked over to Rapunzel and kissed her softly, rubbing her arm. "Be back soon." She smiled up at him and kissed him once more. "You better."
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
The red truck pulled out front of a pharmacy, the glass to the door shattered and this caused Eugene to look at Kristoff and Elsa. "Be careful in their guys."
Kristoff opened the door and then held his hand out for Elsa as she slid from the middle seat and onto the ground. "Thanks." she whispered as she walked past him.
Sven jumped out of the back of the truck and stuck close to Kristoff as they approached the front entrance of the Pharmacy.
Eugene stepped through the broken door, his ax was tight in his grip and he had a flashlight in the other hand. Elsa and Kristoff followed behind him and pointed their flashlights in opposite directions.
"I need to grab more wrapping for Anna's leg." Elsa whispered as she pointed to the first aid area of the store.
Eugene just nodded and then motioned for Kristoff to follow him as Sven walked over with Elsa.
She unzipped her back and started to shove everything she could into it, taking what was left from other people.
Eugene and Kristoff walked over to the over priced food of the pharmacy store. "Thank god we don't have to actually pay for this stuff." The blonde laughed as he stuffed what was still good into his bag and looked at Eugene.
The other male laughed and nodded. "Yeah, I always hated how overpriced small stores were."
Kristoff looked over his shoulder to see if Elsa was around and then looked back at Eugene. "So, whats the deal with Elsa?"
Eugene just looked at him confused and raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
"Whats her story? She seems nice, but she keeps to herself. I mean, who was Olaf's dad?" He regretted the last question when he noticed the look in Eugene's eyes.
"We don't talk about that, and don't you ever bring it up to her okay?" He had a stern look on his face and looked over his shoulder. "She doesn't like to talk about it."
Kristoff just raised an eyebrow and Eugene sighed. "How do you think a lesbian ends up with a kid?"
The shocked look on Kristoff's face wasn't just from realizing what Eugene said, but was from the sight out of the corner of his eye. Movement.
He turned around quickly and saw a tall man, about his height, holding Elsa. He had black hair that was pushed back out of his face, and his eyes looked almost as black as his hair. What really caught Kristoff's attention, was the pistol held up to Elsa's ear.
"Hello...Who do we have here?" The deep voice rang through the quiet pharmacy as Elsa looked at Eugene, fear in her eyes.
"What do you want!? Let her go!" Eugene's voice wasn't as strong as he wanted it to be and he looked over to see another man walking up to them.
"It's not everyday we see the living walking around." The second voice was higher than the other mans, and he walked around the corner, showing his face. He had blonde hair, it was long and pushed behind his ears as his blue eyes looked into Kristoff's.
"Especially, such a beautiful young woman." He ran one hand under Elsa's Cheek and she pulled back, but yelled in pain as the other man grabbed her braid and pulled.
"Leave her alone!" Kristoff spoke and the two men looked at him.
What they didn't know was that all their yelling was attracting unwanted attention. A few bitters outside heard the commotion and started heading for the Pharmacy.
The blonde man held out a knife and put it up to Elsa's throat, smiling as he looked into her eyes. "I believe that this one is coming home with us."
Kristoff looked at Eugene and they both could read each others face. They had no idea what they could do. If they tried to lunge at the men, they could kill Elsa, but if they just stood their, they would take her away with them.
It felt like hours went by as the two men simply toyed with Eugene and Kristoff, talking like they had all the power, which in this case, they did.
Kristoff noticed the biter that was walking down the aisle and looked at Eugene. He followed Kristoff's eyes and realized that more bitters where coming through the broken door.
Now they didn't know what to do, they where going to die in this store, and they promised they would come back.
The blonde male with the knife noticed the noise the bitters were making and looked over. "Shit, we have to go." He whispered to the other male but it was too late, the bitters noticed them and started walking faster to them.
The blonde ran over and stuck his knife into the head of the closest one, and the male with black hair removed his gun from Elsa's ear to shoot at the others.
Elsa took this time to slam her head back, hearing the crunch of the man's nose. She lunged forward and looked at Kristoff and Eugene. "We have to go, Now!"
The black-haired male kept firing his gun, which only attracted more of the bitters to the area, and Kristoff ran up to him, grabbing the weapon. "Stop it you idiot!"
The male only grabbed onto Kristoff and started to hold him in place for a biter. Kristoff dropped the gun and grabbed onto the males shirt, turning him around and pushing him into the hands of a biter.
The biter grabbed onto the male as he stumbled and opened his mouth, chomping down on the tender flesh of the males neck.
The blonde male looked up in time to see the biter rip a chunk of his neck out and start to chew it as a few more bitters gathered around the area, taking whatever they could reach.
"Holy shit..." he whispered as he took off running. Kristoff and Eugene ran to the door, taking out any biter in their way, though most where only interested in the now dead man on the floor.
The three of them started to run towards the door when Kristoff stopped and grabbed Elsa's shoulder. "Wait! Where is Sven!?"
Elsa looked at him wide-eyed and then ran back over to where the man had grabbed her. Sven was lying on the ground, and appeared to be dead. Kristoff almost lost it, but he noticed the faint movement of the dogs chest as he was breathing.
Kristoff sighed in relief and grabbed Sven, running out to the truck and jumping in the back tailgate. Elsa grabbed Eugene's ax as he ran by and swung it into the middle of a bitters head, then she jumped into the truck and yelled for Eugene.
"Hurry, their coming!" she shouted as the engine kicked on and they sped out of the area. Everyone was silent the entire way home and Eugene couldn't help but steal glances at Elsa as she looked out the window, no emotions to show.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
As the three of them left out the door, Anna looked over at Rapunzel. She couldn't help but smile at what Eugene said earlier and this caused the brunette to raise an eyebrow.
"What?" Anna giggled and shook her head. "Nothing, its nothing really."
Rapunzel just laughed and smiled. "If you say so." And then Anna looked at the large TV in the living room.
"Does it work?" she pointed at it and Rapunzel nodded. "We can only watch movies, cable doesn't work anymore." they both shared a look and Rapunzel got up from the couch.
"What would you like to watch?" Anna shrugged and then looked over at Olaf, "What would you like to watch kid?" she asked the boy and he smiled.
He ran over to the DVD collection and started to flip through them, stopping at one and holding it up.
"Warm bodies?" Rapunzel chuckled at the irony and looked over at Anna. "Of all the movies we have, he picks the zombie one." This caused Anna to laugh and the brunette just shrugged and put it in the DVD player.
About half way through the movie, The three of them fell asleep. Rapunzel was on the floor, two pillows under her head so she could see the TV, and Olaf was snuggled up against Anna on the couch.
They didn't know how long they had been out, but the front door slamming open woke them all up. Anna looked up to see Elsa storm into her room, not a word said to anyone.
Olaf looked up at Kristoff and Eugene, his eyebrows bunched in confusion. "Whats wrong with my mom?"
Rapunzel stood up from the floor and looked at Eugene, the look on his face worried her and she walked over to him. "Eugene, what happened?"
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
The blonde male ran through the back of the store and jumped in his car, speeding away from the scene. He never liked that guy anyway, but what was he going to tell his boss.
He drove for about twenty minutes until he came up to the camper in the woods. He put the car in park and sat there for a moment or two.
Finally, he got out of the car and walked up to the camper, knocking on the door two times. "Hello sir"
A tall man with brown hair opened the door and looked down at him. He stepped aside and let the man in. "Hello Steven, Where is Josh?" He looked out to the car as he shut the door."
"Well sir, we had some technical difficulties on the run." He then smiled up at the man and sat in the booth across from him. "But I do have some good news sir."
"Oh? and what could that be?" he folded his hands together and leaned forward in anticipation.
"We did find the woman, she is alive." With that, the taller man leaned back and smiled. "but she was with two men, one was the Eugene guy from last time, but I didn't recognize the other one."
"but your sure it was her? your sure it was Elsa?" he leaned forward again and rested his chin on his hand.
"Yes, Hans, it was definitely Elsa. I know that white hair anywhere." and with that, the two of them started to laugh and Hans shook the Steven's hand. "Good work Steven, Excellent in deed."
