Knock knock knock
"Anna?" Elsa asked from outside Anna's door. "Come on wake up! It's the winter opening ball!" Elsa said excitedly. That's when the shuffling began, and within seconds suddenly completely Anna opened the door, "YAY!" Anna gave her sister a big hug, "HAPPY WINTER FEST!" They were both extremely excited, and the snowy queen hugged her sister back, "Thank you, Anna. Now come on!" She said happily as they both went to check on the preparations. This was unlike any of the other balls thrown. Not only did they have snack foods, but there was steak, french toast, mashed potatoes, everything you could ever imagine eating for breakfast and dinner. The walls were lined with decorations of autumn leafs and twigs. The carpet was patterned with beautiful orange and red leafs, and even their own dresses were themed the same. "The decor is going nicely." Elsa said with a smile, meanwhile Anna was staring at the food. Elsa giggled as they walked into a kitchen, where a cake shaped like a tree in the fall was being made. "I can not WAIT for the ball! It's going to be so perfect!" Anna said happily. Elsa smiled wider, "I know. It's going to be the first winter opening ball where I can use my powers. They'll be perfect for the celebration." She said with glee. They walked down the hall, and spotted one of the staff men. At first it all seemed normal, he was hanging up decorations like he should be. Elsa looked away, admiring the already put up decorations, while Anna still watched. Suddenly, something that looked like a shadow grabbed him by the leg and pulled him away. Anna stared in shock for a moment, confused at what happened. Elsa looked back at Anna, "Is anything wrong?" She asked concerned. Anna looked back at her and shook her head, "Uh, no no I'm fine." She smiled and shook it off. It was probably the pre celebration jitters. I mean, shadows couldn't pull people around... right?
Trumpets sounded as the castle opened for the ball, and the guests flowed in like a river. The filled the halls, marveling at the beautiful decor. Elsa and Anna danced with strangers, smiling at each other as they passed by each other. Eventually, when Anna had danced with everyone, finishing with Kristoff, she went to the buffet and got herself some food. As she stuffed her face with roast beef, she suddenly saw a shadow in the corner of her eye. She looked over, and in an empty hall was a small, dark, moving shadow. She looked to both sides to make sure no one was watching, and then she walked to the shadow. As she came close, it moved down the hall and to a room she hadn't gone to in a while. Her parents' room. She sighed, not wanting to go in but her curiosity over took her. She walked in and opened it, and followed it to a small desk. She looked around, shaking off her sadness. The shadow pointed to the bottom drawer, and Anna leaned over, and opened in. In the drawer
Was the letter.
