Summary: Elsa agreed to going to Washington D.C. with Anna and her parents. When everything seemed to be going so well a fire starts somewhere.
Mother simply nodded as she no longer needed anything from Elsa so she was going to just work now. Anna gave Elsa a nod and then went back up into Anna's bedroom. "I'm sorry about how awkward that was," Anna said, as she flopped down on her bed.
"It's ok. I'm sorry, but is that a normal dinner?" Elsa asked, as she stood next to Anna's bed.
"It was worse tonight, but it isn't uncommon," Anna answered, as she covered her face in embarrassment.
"I was thinking about heading home to talk to my dad and pack, but if you want me to stay I can," Elsa said, and Anna wanted nothing more than to have Elsa stay. Anna looked over at Elsa and saw that she was looking at Anna with such pity and sadness.
"No I have survived sixteen years here I'll be fine. I am happy that you are willing to go with me this weekend. I promise it won't be as bad as tonight," Anna stood up and walked towards the door so that their driver could take Elsa home. Anna then felt someone grab her hand and Anna turned to see that Elsa had grabbed her hand. "It's ok I promise," Anna said, with a smile. Elsa pulled on Anna's hand and suddenly wrapped Anna in a hug. Anna had hug Elsa in the past to whisper something to Elsa, but this was different. Elsa's hug was something that was nearly indescribable. Elsa was strong yet gentle, cool but not cold and there was something more. Anna hug on tightly as this hug felt differently than any hug Anna has shared with her parents, Aurora or Belle.
Elsa then started to pull away and Anna reluctantly let go. "I'm sorry that your mother treats you so, but try and remember that all the hardships you encounter in life is only building you into a stronger person," Elsa said, while looking deeply into Anna's eyes. Anna didn't want to blink as staring into Elsa's was like staring out at the ocean. Elsa then turned away from looking at Anna and pulled away from the hug. "I'll head home and talk to my dad and pack for the trip," Anna knew that the armor that Elsa wore most days had fallen for a split second, but was now once again up. Anna still smiled at Elsa, because even though Elsa's armor was back up Anna could still feel and smell Elsa from the hug.
Anna walked Elsa downstairs "I'll have our driver take you home." Elsa just nodded her head as Anna pulled out her cell phone and called the driver to pull the car around for Elsa. Anna walked Elsa to a side door and just as Anna opened the door the car started to pull up. Elsa walked past Anna and Anna grabbed Elsa's hand. Elsa stopped and looked down at their hands. "Thank you for everything," Anna said quietly.
"Anytime," Elsa said, with a slight smile. Anna gave Elsa's hand a squeeze before letting go. Elsa got in the car and looked out the window at Anna as the car pulled away.
Elsa didn't know what was wrong with her. Elsa has tried every method she knew to keep her emotions in check. Just being around Anna made Elsa forget everything and do things that she never thought about doing before. Hugging, holding hands and even agreeing to go to a political conference just to be with Anna. Elsa had thought it could be a good opportunity to grab Anna and finish the job to get out of here, but Elsa was just lying to herself.
The car stopped in front of Elsa's house and Elsa got out of the car. Elsa walked into the house and went straight to her room. Everything that Elsa knew was falling apart at the seams. This one girl had stripped away every bit of armor and defense that Elsa had. Anna really didn't do anything other than be herself. Anna's innocence struck a minor blow to Elsa's armor, but what really tore down that armor was that Anna was someone that Elsa didn't think existed. Anna is purely a good person and treats everyone like they are family. Anna's positivity and general goodness was just amazing. Elsa always thought the world was filled with terrible people just looking for a way to use people or take something from other people.
Anna wasn't that way at all. Anna didn't want anything from Elsa or anyone. Anna was just a happy person and her innocence needed to be protected. That is what started tearing down Elsa's armor, but then when Elsa saw Anna's parents and how they treated her made it even more amazing that she was the way she was. Anna had stood facing the horrible things her mother said and after she was battered down, but just minutes later she was shining her light once again.
Elsa started to close her eyes even though she was fully dressed and still hadn't broken into school to get the information on Aurora or Belle. Then a faint noise caused Elsa's eyes to pop back open it sounded like a crunching noise from the chips that Elsa had laid by the front door. Elsa got up, grabbed her guitar and pulled her Katana out. Elsa then grabbed her knives and the tablet. Elsa turned on all the cameras in the house.
Elsa saw that the front door was closed, but that was just a smart intruder. Elsa clicked through the other downstairs cameras and saw that no one was around. Elsa checked the upstairs cameras and didn't see anything, but a very feint sound of someone walking around upstairs. Someone knew where the cameras were in the house and they were avoiding them. Elsa pulled her shirt off and pulled on a black one. Elsa closed the panic room door before she tucked the tablet in her hiding spot in the master bedroom and moved out of the room into the darkness.
Elsa had her Katana out behind her back in case moon light reflected off the metal. Elsa moved silently through the house. Elsa had spent enough nights in the house to know what floorboards squeaked and what didn't. Elsa silently listened as whoever was up stairs started moving down the staircase to the main entryway. Elsa crouched in a corner by the large table in the entry hall. No light shined under the table so Elsa would be completely hidden, but could see the person in the feint light coming in from the outside.
The person moved down the stairs. They moved in a very quiet manner that meant training, but not the correct training to kill someone like Elsa. Elsa waited until the person was on the ground floor before doing anything. Elsa watched as the person moved through the living room, dining room and finally the kitchen family room area. The intruder appeared to be walking around with something pointed out in front of them. It didn't look like a sword or a dagger of any sort. Elsa followed the intruder towards the master bedroom.
The intruder moved the covers and looked under the bed and the closet. When the person didn't find anyone Elsa hoped that they would leave. "I know you are watching from somewhere why don't you come out and face me warrior to warrior," the voice was male. The man then pulled out a pair of nunchucks and started moving around the room feeling every corner.
Elsa moved back down the hallway and when she was around the corner Elsa asked "Why are you here?" Elsa moved after speaking and waited for the man to walk out of the hallway.
"You know why I'm here. I'm here to eliminate you," the man said, as he moved into the dining room. Elsa didn't really want to kill this man in the house, but it seemed that he knew that Elsa was a trained killer. Elsa moved silently behind the man and brought her Katana up to kill the man as cleanly as possible. The man moved quickly with a round house kick that caught Elsa in the stomach. Elsa clenched her abs the last second and when she got hit it didn't knock the wind out of her, but it tossed Elsa back across the room. Elsa rolled as she landed and had her hand down and her sword out. "There you are. When hunting a ninja you always make it look like your back is vulnerable, but keep it protected," the man said, as he slowly walked towards Elsa. Elsa rolled and moved into the darkness of the kitchen family room area.
"The shadows won't help you," the man spoke as he walked into the room looking around. Elsa moved around him in to the kitchen and the man turned his back to the large island. Elsa took the advantage as the man probably thought his back was safe as it pointed at the island. Elsa silently jumped up on the counter and slashed at the man's back. The man moved quicker than Elsa expected as he grabbed Elsa's hand. Elsa twisted, but the man was so much stronger that as Elsa twisted he just jerked and Elsa was sailing through the air. Elsa tried to roll with the impact, but Elsa landed on a glass table that shattered beneath her. The glass cut into Elsa's back, but she ignored the pain as she rolled and jumped over the couch.
The man was after Elsa, as she heard the crunch of glass as his fist, boot or nunchuck where Elsa's head probably was. The man had jerked Elsa's sword out of her hand when he threw Elsa across the room. Elsa moved quickly as she heard the man hitting the ground and walls where Elsa was just seconds ago. Elsa grabbed one of her knives and did a forward roll. When Elsa was facing towards the attacker Elsa lunched a knife at him. Elsa didn't stop moving as she jumped over the island once again, but stopped as the sounds following her stopped. Elsa moved slowly as she peaked around the corner and saw that the man was curled up on the ground. Elsa wasn't going to make the mistake of assuming that the man did actually have a knife in his chest.
Elsa pulled out two more knives as she moved around the other side of the island. Elsa watched the man and saw that his chest wasn't moving. Elsa threw and buried a second knife in the man's back. When the man didn't move Elsa slowly moved forward with her last two knives out prepared to fight if this man was better trained the she was. Elsa turned the man and saw that her first knife had missed its mark. It wasn't buried in his heart, but was buried in his eye socket. Elsa stood up as the man was dead before he hit the floor.
Elsa remembered seeing a large freezer in the garage. Elsa grabbed the man and dragged him into the garage. Elsa turned out the man's pockets and found a wallet, cell phone, set of keys, a picture and several knives. Elsa had to struggle because of his size, but Elsa was finally able to get him in and she was able to close it. Elsa then picked up her Katana, knives and the man's nunchucks before going back into the panic room. Elsa couldn't understand how someone found her at this location.
Elsa pulled off her shirt and looked at her back in the mirror. Luckily none of the cuts were very deep and they had mostly stopped bleeding already. Elsa looked at her abdomen and felt around her ribs. It seemed that nothing was broken, but her abdomen was probably going to be black and blue in a day or so. Elsa then pulled on a new shirt and decided to go through the assassins things.
Elsa looked at the wallet and saw that man's face for real he looked Japanese, but his name on the ID was Mark Wicker. The ID was obviously fake so Elsa took the cash and credit card out and then put the rest in a bag that she planned on burning. Elsa looked at the phone and saw that it only had one number in it. The number looked just like the number Elsa would call when she finished the job or when she got a package last week. Elsa suddenly felt a sense of dread as she looked at the man's knives. If Elsa's fears and suspicions were correct then when Elsa looked at the makers mark under the handle Elsa might be in big trouble.
Elsa dismantled the handle and closed her eyes as she turned the knife over. Elsa opened her eyes and saw the mark of one of Elsa's organizations smiths. This assassin was from Elsa's own organization and he was sent to kill Elsa. Elsa didn't understand why her father would be so disappointed that he would put a mark out on her. Elsa couldn't stop the tears as she dropped the knife and then fell to her knees. What did she do to displease him so?
