Elsa sat on her bed. She stood, and sat, and did it for many times. She was unsure about what she had done ago. Showing a shadow that resemblances herself wasn't a really good idea. Anna might remember that, and it can haunt her every day. Or her dad would do something to her because of that, just in case if he knows that it was her work.
While she was busy playing with her mind, she heard a knock on the door along with a sweet voice, and she was sure, it was her mother.
"Elsa? It's me, Mama." The Queen said softly to Elsa. But Elsa just looked at the door with an ignorant and annoyance. "Go away." She hissed.
"Elsa, open the door, please?" The Queen asked her daughter again, but she didn't get any reply. She waited for a moment, but everything remained silent. Finally, she gave up. "Okay, fine. I'll see you later." The Queen slowly went away from her daughter's new room.
Elsa looked again at the door, and shut her eyes tightly. She didn't mean to do that to her mother, she was just not ready yet.
The night went on. It was 8 o'clock, and it was the dinner time for the royal family. The King and the Queen have come to the dining hall first. Only Anna and Elsa hasn't show up yet. Both King and Queen waited for their daughters to join for dinner. A moment later, Anna came with a green night dress, holding a small snowman doll.
"Anna!" The Queen saw her little daughter, slowly reach to her seat.
"Mama." Anna said with a small pout on her lips.
"Well, what took you so long to join us? Lucky you, we waited for you." The Queen asked her.
"I played with black Elsa..." Anna answered in a slow voice. She really did play with 'black' Elsa, or, more likely, it was a shadow Elsa. It was just her that not knowing that.
"Black?" The Queen raised her eyebrows as she heard the word. She knew what the meaning of that, but she won't tell Anna.
"Yes! Black Elsa! She's so playful, and I really love her! You should see her!" Anna answered her mother in a cheerful voice, not as her first reaction. She pulled her mother's arm slowly, wanting her to see the 'Black Elsa'.
"Um, Anna, but please, after this?" The Queen pleaded Anna.
"But-" Anna wanted to say, but the King cut her off.
"So now, let's eat. It has been thirty minutes past from dinner, we should eat faster." The King already eats his soup. Anna looked at him blankly. Then, she sat back to her seat and pouted again.
"No, we won't eat now. I wanna wait for Elsa." Anna hugged her doll.
"Darling, I think Elsa doesn't want to eat right-" The Queen almost finished her words, but then Elsa came with a menacing sound of footsteps. She sat on the seat at the far end of the table.
Things gone silent, everybody was quiet, except the sounds of the servants doing their works in the kitchen.
The King stopped eating his soup. His eyes were locked onto Elsa's shining white eyes. They had an eye conversation that only both of them knew what was that mean.
I'm still a princess here, and this is my home, I should have my dinner. Elsa thought to herself, still staring at her father coldly. She went out of her bedroom intentionally. She wanted to see Anna happy, like she did before, playing with Anna in her shadow form.
She dares to get outside? How brave you are, Elsa. The King said to himself. He stared at Elsa while drinking a glass of juice.
While Anna and the Queen looked at the King and Elsa in confusion. But for Anna, she was freaking happy to see Elsa, not the black one. She was just confused, why was Elsa stared at their father coldly.
Elsa started to eat her meal. She ate with manners, in only a few minutes. Then, she went back to her bedroom. Nobody sees that she already disappeared when she almost stepping on the stairs.
Both Anna and her parents were left in the dining hall, with confusions, and they continued their eating.
After the dinner was finished, Anna ran back to her room. While she was running, her snowman doll turned out to flee and dropped in front of a dark door in a dark hallway, which was a meter far from her bedroom.
"Olaf!" Anna ran over her named snowman doll. It was named after Elsa's favorite snowman name, Olaf.
Anna took her doll. She stood up and looked at the tall, dark, oak door in front of her. It has some carving of Rosemaling. Anna wanted to know what's inside, but the door was locked. Right then, she heard somebody said something inside, and sounded like Elsa.
"Hello? Anybody's inside?" Anna asked through the hole under the door. Her eyes got to see something, but it was unclear and dark. Then, somebody came towards the door, stepping in the same footsteps as Elsa. Everything that the person inside was doing, all of them were same as Elsa. Her voice, her footsteps.
The feet, which was in a black Mary Janes stopped exactly in front of the door. It blocked Anna's view from seeing inside.
"Go away, Anna." The person kicked the door, making Anna felt surprised by that, and she walked back.
"Are you Elsa?" Anna slowly asked. She felt that somehow it was Elsa, since there was nobody else except her family, and the castle staffs.
"What do you think?" The person asked, she didn't want to answer Anna.
Anna heard the voice, it was really like Elsa. "Elsa? Are you Elsa?" Anna asked again, but there was no reply until five minutes were already passed.
"Yes." The voice answered.
Anna gasped. "Elsa!"
