Kristoff had taken the time to put Sven down onto the floor, instantly Max ran over and started to sniff the other dog. Rapunzel stood up quickly and walked next to Sven.
"What happened out there?" her question came out in a slight shout as she checked the dog over for wounds. Eugene ran his hand through his hair and then looked at his girlfriend.
"I'm not sure, I mean, we were at the store, getting the stuff" he trailed off as he thought about the knife against Elsa's pale skin. "These two guys showed up."
Anna looked up at him, she was now bent down next to Rapunzel. "Living guys?"
"Yeah, they where breathing and they where assholes." Kristoff answered as he looked at the ginger. "They got Elsa, held her at gun point and put a knife to her throat."
Anna's teal eyes widened as she looked up at the blonde. Rapunzel mimicked the jester but looked at Eugene, "Was it him?" her question was quiet and only Eugene picked up on it as he shrugged.
"How did you guys get out of there?" Anna's voice was small, they almost didn't hear her. The brown eyes of the blonde looked over to Eugene and he sighed. "Bitters heard the commotion, they came running.
Rapunzel looked at her boyfriend and frowned, her imagination working harder than it should. "Was everyone okay?"
Eugene looked down at her and then sighed. "Out of our group, yeah." Then Kristoff finished his sentence for him, looking at the brunette. "Can't say the same for the man with the gun."
Rapunzel looked up at Kristoff and smiled softly. "Well, the good news out of all of this is that Sven was only knocked un-conscience." She pointed to his ribcage as his chest was rising and falling. "More than likely, he was kicked in the ribs and hit his head against the hard floor."
Kristoff smiled and pet the large dog softly, "That a boy, nothing like that could take you down."
Rapunzel smiled and then stood up, letting out a deep sigh. "I'm going to talk to Elsa, she needs to learn that shutting herself in her room doesn't solve everything." her arm extended as she pointed to the small boy sitting at the door. "She has her son back, she can't keep doing this to him."
Anna looked at her as she stood up as well, "Do you think you can get to her?" Kristoff looked at Anna and then to the ground.
"I sure hope so." She started to walk towards the door and Olaf looked up at her. "Hey kid, you should go spend some time with Anna okay." bending down to place a hand on his shoulder
The boy smiled at her and then walked down the hall, Anna leaning down to pick him up. This left Rapunzel to open the door to Elsa's room and disappear, shutting the door behind her.
Anna couldn't hear anything going on in the room but she could feel the tension. She sat on the couch, Olaf in her lap as her arms wrapped around him. Kristoff looked down at Anna and smiled, the look of Anna with a child warmed his heart.
He was snapped out of his thoughts as they heard shouting coming from the other room down the hall. Anna couldn't make out what they where saying, but she coud tell it was getting hostile.
Eugene looked at Anna and held his hand out for him to take Olaf into their room. He wouldn't hear as much yelling from there and it would be safer if they came out of the room.
As Eugene took Olaf into her room, Anna stayed out with Kristoff and Sven, watching the door to the pale womans room.
It felt like hours of shouting went by until it got silent. Anna looked over to Kristoff and raised an eyebrow, but jumped as the door slammed open and Elsa walked down the hall.
Anna stood up but Elsa put her hand up to stop her. "Don't...just, please leave me alone right now." her voice sounded broken and as she looked up, Anna could see the pale pink around her eyes and frowned.
Elsa opened the front door and walked out, closing it behind her.
Anna looked over at Rapunzel as she came down the hall. "I tried to talk her out of it, but she said she had too go get some fresh air."
Kristoff pinched the bridge of his nose and looked down. "Yeah, some real fresh air outside with all those bitters."
Olaf walked out of the room with Eugene and he looked up at Anna. "My mom is outside with the dead guys?"
Anna's heart broke as his blue eyes that looked so much like Elsa's started to tear up. She walked over and bent down, hugging the small brunette. "Its okay, she is a strong woman and can handle it."
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
After dinner, Rapunzel put a movie into the system and they all got in the living room. Eugene and Rapunzel cuddled on the couch, while Kristoff was sitting in the recliner. Anna was against the recliner, Olaf sitting in her lap like usual.
A couple of hours went by as the film played and Elsa still didn't show up. Anna was getting worried but didn't want to show it to the rest of the group.
As the credits started to roll, Anna looked over to the door. All she wanted was for Elsa to come back through those doors, and to make sure she was safe.
Kristoff noticed her looking and sighed. "She will be fine Anna, like you said, she is a touch woman." His only answer was Anna's bright teal eyes looking up at him. He knew what question was coming and he didn't want to answer.
"Kristoff...I have to go find her." Kristoff shook his head, and Eugene looked over at them. "Anna no, She will come back, and its dark out." Her eyes shot over to Eugene and Rapunzel. "That's why we have to go, its more dangerous at night."
Eugene sat up slightly and leaned forward, resting his elbows on his legs. "He has a point Anna, Elsa can take care of herself." he sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "She will be back in the morning, this isn't the first time she's run off."
Anna looked over to Rapunzel and she just nodded in agreement. There was a long pause and the ginger finally let out a sigh. "Okay, then I want to go to bed, it will make the time go by faster."
Eugene and Rapunzel stood up from the couch and started to walk towards their room, saying their goodnight to the other two as Max followed them into the room. Anna picked up Olaf, who had been fast asleep, and sat on the couch.
Kristoff grabbed a few pillows and a blanket from the closet, setting the recliner back he layed down, throwing a hand over his eyes. "Try to sleep Anna, she will be back soon."
Anna simply nodded and held Olaf close to her chest, slowly drifting off to sleep.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
The pale skin of the woman was bright in the dark as she walked up to the door of the apartment. She walked up the stairs and let out a deep breath as she opened the door. The first thing she noticed was that everyone was asleep. "good." she whispered.
She walked through the living room and looked on the couch, the smile that spread across her face could have lit up the room. Anna as sleeping with her mouth wide open, a small line of drool on her cheek, and Olaf had his arm swung around her waist.
Elsa bent down and carefully picked Olaf up out of Anna's care, heading towards her room. What she didn't realize was that the ginger had felt her moving Olaf around and had awoken. She had layed there for a few minutes, wanting to go talk to the pale woman, but afraid she was still angry.
Eventually she gathered up the courage to sit up and walk down the hall, using the bathroom as an excuse to talk to her. She made her way to the bathroom and then walked to the womans door.
Her fist hovered over the wood of the door for a little while and then she took a deep breath, letting herself knock.
-knock..knock.. ..knock-
It was soft, but Elsa heard it and stood up, walking to the door. Her hand rested on the door handle for a while and then she finally opened the door. Anna's bright teal eyes lit up as she looked at the woman.
"Your back." the words where soft as she looked into the deep blue eyes of the pale woman. Elsa just stood there, and then she stepped aside, inviting Anna into her room.
The red-head smiled and stepped inside before Elsa shut the door, leaving them in an awkward silence. Neither of them knew what to say, Anna wasn't even sure why she was in the room.
Elsa finally cleared her throat and looked over at the red-head. "Why are you up? It's almost four in the morning." Anna looked over at her and then leaned against the wall, sliding to the floor.
"I was worried about you." she whispered the words but the blonde picked up on them. Her heart raced slightly as the words hit her ears and she couldn't help the small blush that covered her almost white skin.
"Why? I was okay out there." She looked down at the woman and then sat on the floor next to her. It was Anna's turn to blush as she noticed how close Elsa was to her now.
"I know, you can handle yourself, your stong and talented." She looked down at her hands in her lap as she spoke and then looked up to notice Elsa looking at her with a smile on her face.
"Thank you, it means a lot to hear complements once in a while." she tried to shake the awkward feeling with a bit of sarcasm but Anna didn't get the point. She looked over at Elsa and bit her bottom lip, choosing her next words carefully.
The ginger looked into the deep blue eyes of the woman who was now sitting directly across from her and cleared her throat. "But your beautiful, I'm not sure why you wouldn't get complements all the time."
Elsa jerked her head at the words of the woman and her whole face turned red, she didn't know what to say. Was Anna flirting with her? She didn't want to jump to conclusions right away so she just put a hand up to her braid, playing with it nervously.
"Thank you Anna, it means so much." she whispered as a small tear ran down her cheek. She tried to wipe it away without Anna noticing but it was too late. The ginger acted on instinct and place a hand on her cheek, running her thumb under her eye.
"Whats wrong Elsa?" she looked up at the woman and scooted closer, hating the look of sorrow in her eyes.
Elsa simply shook her head and looked up at the ginger, her lips pressed together. "I'm fine, thank you." She looked into the teal eyes of the woman and then took in a deep breath. She didn't want to Conceal it anymore, she had to let someone in.
Anna could tell she was thinking about something and decided it was best to let her figure it out, so she simply sat there, not realizing that her hand had gone from her cheek to her own pale hands.
"I never really like men." Anna looked at the woman, she had no idea what that ment, but she didn't say anything, letting Elsa let her feelings out.
"I have known since I was in the eighth grade, I came out and my peers hated me, they picked on me." It didn't take long for Anna to put the pieces together and figure out that Elsa was telling her she was gay.
"During Highschool I was alone, I tended to stay away from people, kept to myself. Then I got asked to prom by one of the cool kids, I figured it was a joke, but he just seemed so nice." It was like she didn't even know Anna was in the room anymore, she was just talking, letting it all go.
"He treated me like his friend, and he said he didn't mind that I was gay, He could be my cover so people would leave me alone a bit." a few more tears ran down her face and Anna was quick to wipe them away.
"He was really nice to me during the prom, and even invited me to a celebration afterwards with his friends. I excepted and we all went to his friend's house. Everyone started to drink, and he started to get touchy." She was looking straight at the floor, almost like a bitter, and it didn't take long for Anna to put two and two together.
Her eyes widened as she realized what Elsa was telling her. Olaf didn't have a dad, because Elsa didn't want him, He was conceived by force. Anna put her hand under Elsa's chin and made her look up. "He told me afterwards, that I could never be beautiful again, because I was dirty."
Those words broke Anna's heart and she cupped the womans face in her hands, wiping the tears away she forced the woman to look at her. "Elsa, please look at me"
The pale woman let her eyes go from the floor, to the teal ones that were looking right back at her. "You are beautiful, the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." Elsa let a small smile show up on her face and it made Anna's light up.
"I don't know why anyone would ever do such a thing to you, but whoever he was, he is the scummy dirt bag." This made a small giggle come out of the pale womans throat. Anna raised an eyebrow in confustion. "What?"
Elsa smiled up at the woman and cleared her throat. "Scummy dirt bag?" Anna couldn't help but smile at that and shrugged. "Hey, it made you feel better."
Elsa placed her hand on Anna's that was resting on her pale cheek. "Yes, it did. Thank you Anna, it feels great to get everything out." she was speaking in short words and trying to clear her eyes and nose from her crying.
Anna looked at the woman and couldn't help but look down at her lips, wanting to know what they taste like. The ginger wasn't really ever one for thinking, she just kind of jumped into things. So when her head leaned forward and her lips captured that of the blonde in front of her, she was just as confused as Elsa was.
The blonde didn't move, she was afraid it was a dream and Anna took this as her not wanting it. She pulled her head back and looked down at the ground. "I'm sorry...I don't know why I did that, you must think I'm stupid, I can leave if you want."
Elsa finally caught her breath and looked at Anna, realizing that she was about to run she grabbed her wrist. "No, its okay, please stay."
Anna looked up at her and nodded, letting a smile spread across her face. "Would you like me to sleep in here? I mean, if you don't mind, I think it would be nice..." She kind of trailed off as she talked and felt herself blushing again.
Elsa stood up and walked across the room to the dresser. Anna thought she had stepped the boundary for a second, growing concerned until she noticed Elsa grab spare blankets and pillows out of the drawer.
She came back and handed them to Anna. "Did you want us to sleep on the floor? or try to fit in the bed with Olaf." Anna looked up at her with a small smile and Elsa realized that she was rushing things. "I mean if you want, I can sleep on the floor and you can sleep on the bed." she ran her hand on the back of her neck and felt nervous.
Anna simply stood up and placed a quick kiss on the taller womans cheek. "It's okay Elsa, I don't mind sleeping on the floor with you."
Elsa placed a hand were the womans lips where and smiled at her. "Okay, if you don't mind." She noticed Anna spreading the blankets out and setting up the pillows. She then layed down, looking up at Elsa and patting the spot next to her.
Elsa blushed and sat on the floor next to the ginger before awkwardly laying down, keeping her hands on her stomach as she stayed stiff in her spot. Anna noticed how uncomfortable she was, and let out a sigh. "Come here."
It was a whisper and Elsa looked over at her, about to speak when she felt the warm arms of the ginger wrap around her torso. The blondes heart started to race and Anna thought it was cute.
"Just relax, I won't bite." She layed her head on Elsa's shoulder and her arm was across her stomach. Elsa smiled and wrapped her arm around the womans shoulder, tracing small circles on her skin where the shirt was baggy.
"Goodnight Elsa" She whispered as she nuzzled her face into the pale neck of the other woman.
"Goodnight Anna, Thank you." she whispered back and she drifted to sleep with the other woman.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Kristoff woke up as the light spilled into the room, looking up to see what time it was. "Nine in the morning." He groaned as he hit his head back against the pillow.
Eugene walked into the living room with a cup of coffee in his hand . "Morning sunshine, sleep well." He spoke in a fake southern accent as he sat on the couch.
Kristoff looked over and noticed that Anna wasn't on the couch anymore. Confused, he raised an eyebrow and looked at Eugene. "Where did Anna go?"
"Rapunzel went int Elsa's room to make sure she came home last night, found Anna sleeping next to her on the floor." Eugene smiled as he took a sip of his coffee. "Looks like Elsa found a real good friend."
Kristoff tried to joke with him and laugh it off but he couldn't help but feel hurt. He had been with Anna through all of this, protected her and watched her back. She knew Elsa for three days, and now she was sleeping with her.
The blonde stood up from the recliner and stretched. "I have to piss." he groaned as he walked towards the bathroom. He couldn't help but look at Elsa's door, walking over and taking a deep breath.
He pushed the door open softly and peaked inside, frowning as he noticed the two women bundled up together on the floor. He wanted to be angry, to throw a tantrum and say she was his, but he saw the smile on her face. She looked so happy next to Elsa and it tore him to take her away from that kind of happiness.
He shut the door softly, so he wouldn't disturb them, and walked away to the bathroom.
