We hid there for the longest time, not knowing what to do at this point. It wasn't until we heard beating on the back wall that we ran for our lives. Anna didn't seem to be too phased, which seemed odd to me.
" Anna, " I said breathlessly. " Why aren't you freaked out by the seriousness of the situation? "
" Well, it's because I don't know what this thing looks like. " Anna slowed to a walking pace, dragging me with her. " If I had a better picture of what exactly this thing is, maybe I'd be a bit more frightened. But until that moment, I'm not scared. "
I didn't understand Anna's logic. We could die! I don't think she quite understood what exactly was going down here. We were a part of something huge, something dangerous.
I pulled on Anna's arm, urging her to move faster, which she did. Anna was panting now, I could hear it.
" Elsa! Slow down! " she urged me. I didn't listen to her.
" No! " I fired back. " Not until you realise just how much danger we're actually in! Once you realise that, then I'll slow myself down. But not a moment sooner! "
Anna groaned, knowing she could never persuade me. She stopped moving, pulling me back. My glove came off, Anna simply staring at it.
" Anna… " I panted cautiously. " Give that back to me… Please… "
" Not unless you promise to slow down. " Anna told me sternly. " You'll go without it until. "
I ripped my other glove off and threw it to the ground. As long as I didn't touch Anna, I would be fine.
