Snow was pouring from the windows and 3 year old Anna giggled she had stayed up all through the night and no one said a thing she was in the clear heading to her bedroom when the King and Queens quarter door flew open the king scowled at his youngest.
"ANNA!" "YOUR STILL AWAKE!" "You get in your nursery this INSTANT!" "Young Lady!" Anna ran for her life and before she made it to the the doors to her room her father came grabbed her and gave her a few whacks on her bare-behind with his leather belt.
Anna cried and he looked at her sternly."Don't do that again you hear me!"
Anna rubbed her backside and nodded her eyes full of tears the king left the room, as Anna cowers under her blankets sniffling.
Anna tossed and turned she was tangled up in a cocoon of pink sheets the floor on her side covered with dolls and toys she was sleeping with the night before she screamed and shrieks ear piercing screams that would hurt ones ear drums that only seemed to get worse by the minute her temperature was rising she was dripping in a pool of her own sweat she mumbled and whimpers until the screaming once again continued.
"Anna!" Elsa ran from her bed to her sisters. "Are you alright?"
Anna tosses and turns tangling herself further then she all ready has her blanket so tight it was like a bear trap she screams once again.
"Oh Anna. Shhh." She tried to wake up her sister. Anna herd someone's voice but she kept getting lost in her thoughts and things kept getting scarier!
"Anna! Wake up!" Anna shot bolt right up in her bed flinging her pink sheets in all different directions, her gaze met Elsa's all too quickly she broke down in inconsolable sobs that once she knew who it was she buried her face into her older sister's nightgown staining the front with her tears she held a glow of horror on her face.
"Oh Anna, shhh,shhhh. There there." She hugged her baby sister. "Did you have a nightmare?" Anna only nodded
"Oh I hate those!"Anna whined "It was horrible it was about.." Anna considered telling Elsa but she stopped. "Come on you can tell me."
Anna nodded ready to tell but once again she hid her face in the folds fronts of Elsa's nightdress. "Mhmmmfhhffmf." Elsa held her. As if slowly forgetting the ordeal Anna tried to change the subject.
"Can we go outside today?" Anna asked Elsa shook her head Anna then pulled on her arm "Pleeaaase!"
"Anna, not now." Said Elsa trying to read her study book.
Anna huffed and sat on her sisters bed in a pout "Mfp." "You're no fun." Anna's tummy growls ("uop guess I'm hungry!")
"Why don't you go and cheer yourself up in the kitchen?" She jumps off Elsa's bed and runs to the kitchen. "Don't make another huge mess!" Elsa called from her room.
Anna scurries to the kitchen "What'cha making Charles?" The chief turns to her quite pleased "A delectably delicious meal my sweet princess, steamed broccoli and a little liquid chickens wrapped in airy of spinach!"
Anna's face went from excited to grossed out . "Yuck!" "No, No, it will be a delicacy my sweet." He continues on with his cooking as Anna looks around whispering to herself "Gross!"
Anna comes back into the room with a face like she's about to puke "Ohh not hungry anymore."
"Anna? You ok?" Said Elsa looking up from her book. Anna shook her head "No the chef making something Degusting!" "He's gonna make me hurl."
"Oh go hurl someplace else." Feeling like she could get Elsa to play she snaked over to her "How about I just hurl on you fancy pants?" Anna asked annoyed
"I don't wear pants." "I wear dresses and skirts." Elsa said sticking her nose up. "Fancy skirts." Anna stuck her tongue out.
"I'll tell Papa if you do. Then it will be your turn to get in trouble." Elsa went back to her study book. "I already got in trouble by papa today…" Anna muttered under her breath .
"Really?" Elsa said sarcastically. "And what did you do to get in trouble?" Anna looks at the floor and kicks a block then hurts herself.
"Ouch!" "Stupid Blocks!" She throws them. "I stayed up all night and he kinda caught me and he spanked my bunkhouse pretty hard with his belt he did."
Anna whined a bit rubbing her rump
"Ha! Karma!" Elsa smiled to herself. Anna ruffled threw the closet and found a scary mask and snuck up behind Elsa "RAWRR!"
Elsa turned and looked at her sister with a blank expression. "Where'd you get that?" Anna groans through the mask and takes it off.
Elsa was not in the mood for her little sister's antics. She returned to her book.
Anna was bored all throughout the time she was reading and flopped down face first beside Elsa and her book symbolizing she was bored, and protesting about it to get her way
Elsa looked from her sister to her book then back again. "Anna,I have a big test tomorrow at the academy, I have to study."
Anna looked up and frowns silly looking she couldn't understand-why couldn't Elsa just live life like her all fun and carefree? If only she had a sister more like herself but she loved Elsa but she was so bossy and rigid if only thought Anna
"Now go play with some boys in the courtyard." She said smiling watching Anna.
Anna was not into boys at her age. if only she had some friends to play with when her sister had to work
"No they'll run away and shout cooties and accuse me of telling the staff on them plus they're gross!"
Though deep deep down she felt a sense off wanting for some strange reason but it was just going to pass over like all the boys in the kingdom.
"Well at least I get to see Prince Hans tomorrow." She sighed. "He goes to the academy with me. Along with all twelve of his bothers."
Anna had no idea why Elsa was so impressed by boys what was so dang interesting about the gold booger diggers and spitters?
"Ewww." that's disgusting!" "I'd never go see that many boys not in a million trillon bizillion years!" Anna confirmed putting her foot down.
"You'll learn to like them. Besides, I'm only in Hans' class." And thank goodness for that." Elsa sighed dreamily
Anna's head spun, class? boys? test? what did it all mean besides the fact it was gross and confusing and boring.
"Anna! Elsa! Supper time!" They heard their mother call. "Alright!" Elsa jumped from the bed.
Anna herd there mother call and remembered what the chef had planed and hid in the closet. "No thank you!"
"Anna?" The queen came into the room. "But it's chicken, your favorite." Elsa was tapping her foot. "Come on Anna I wanna eat!"
She shut the door to the closet in a bad mood not wanting to see her father after he punished her.
The King and Anna didn't make any eye contact as they both had guilt in their eyes Anna picked at what she thought was a bird, the king smiled and looked as his eldest pleased that she followed instruction. "So Elsa how was your day at the academy today?" He smiled very proudly at his eldest.
"I sat next to Prince Hans of the Southern-iles again." She told her father putting butter on her bread.
The King smiled wider at Elsa. "Really I've always liked that boy sweetheart." "He's got a good steady Kingdom."
"He's got a lot of brothers though." She admitted
Her father smiled at her more "Baby that just means he's comes from a fine upstanding family." "I'm very impressed." showing Elsa how proud he was he winked at her.
The Queen looked at Anna and back at her husband as a servant pours her tea "Ahem So honey what exactly got into you and Anna today?"
Anna's mouth shot open and she drops her fork on her plate! ("Oh you Had to bring that up!") she sunk into her chair and her father cleared his throat too in an annoyed tone.
Elsa sat there sipping her tea and watched as they talked. The King spoke rather angry but gentle as his eyes narrowed,
"Apparently someone in this castle refuses to go to bed at a distant hour!"
{You got that right.} Elsa thought of all the times Anna woke her up to play in the middle of the night. She had a spoonful of her soup.
"I found her sneaking up the stairway in the sunrise this morn so I told her to go to the nursery."
The Queen eyed her husband. "So in doing so you hit her!" The King raised his eyebrow and spoke softly but firm.
"Occasionally a little pat on the rear sends a clear message." Idun raised her voice as well"Dear, we don't strike or spank our children!"
The King chuckled rudely. "Here we go, hey my father did it to me besides what was I supposed to do let her do it again!" With that the king and queen started to argue it seems as though there was always something Anna was doing wrong!
she stared at her soup and silently sipped her meal with tears running down her eyes. ("It's like I don't belong in this family.")-she thought
It all became too much Anna dove under the table and ran away through the halls The Queen gently called after her but no avail "Anna!" "Annabelle come back!"
Elsa was quite alarmed she didn't think Anna would run off upset maybe getting was she deserved was a bit too far?
"Good work." Elsa said glaring at her father and mother. "Anna!" She ran after her
Within the castle library where she found chair by a fireplace Anna sat down on her sore butt and cried
"Ooo-ho I don't wanna be in this family I'm doing everything wrong and I'm not proper!" She wipes her face with a hankie out of her overall-dress pocket.
Around the time Elsa herd someone crying inside of the library "Anna?" she called coughing from some dusting the maids needed to do.
Anna herd her approaching but she just kept looking at the fire angry at herself. "Found her!" Elsa called to her parents as she sat next to Anna scooting to her the pain reflected in Anna's baby-blue iris. Anna felt Elsa sit by her so she backed further away from her feeling like a trouble-making outcast.
"Oh come here you!" Elsa said playfully as she grabbed her sister and pulled her closer. "Let me go." Anna muttered looking away from Elsa, but it was not use Elsa would not leave her be.
Cradling Anna like a baby she held her in her lap. "I got you Anna!" Anna pulled her face out of Elsa's reach "Will you stop!""I'm bad!" "mmm…!" Elsa pulled her face back in her hand and pinch her baby cheeks. "I can't help-it your a cutie and I love you too much." Elsa teases
It wasn't long until Anna felt Elsa start to kiss her cheeks and she started giggling. "No!" "Cut that out!" she paused holding her back Elsa pulled her in harder.
(mah) "Your my baby sister." (mah, mah mah)
Their parents walked in, the queen giggled and the king gave out a sigh. Elsa kept kissing her on each of her cheeks and treating her like a little baby, Anna started to kick her feet in protest and squirms
"Elsa!" "Stop it!" "Mercy!" she knew she didn't deserve mercy bothering Elsa all day and making her wait for dinner
"Alright, alright girls that's enough." There mother broke the two playing girls apart. "Dear? Would you like to say something?" She asked her husband.
Even though the queen it was enough Elsa saw her opportunity and tossed Anna upside down Elsa wasn't wearing shoes because the maids were mopping thinking fast Anna tried to spider tickle them but Elsa pulled her back up and away from her feet on the chair "Ah, ah ah." then Elsa moved her upright again to hold her in place
"Alright Elsa enough." Elsa released Anna from being cradled Idun giggled pulling her girls closer to her while Elsa let Anna sit on her lap gently.
she felt like part of the family again nothing can keep Anna down for long with her sister around.
Agdar looks to Anna. "Annabelle come here." Anna's heart sunk full name was never a good sign
Elsa and her mother looked at each other. The King knelt down to Anna.
"Anna I want you to understand that your mother Elsa and I love you very much but we also want you to grow up healthy your only 3 years old and you need your rest." "Also Elsa needs to sleep at night for school." "You need it because you are young and still growing, now night time may be fun."
"Your mother has informed me that for you that means um… night night time." "Because even a wild beast need it's sleep you sneaky fox!"
Agdar laughs and pulls her into his arms Anna twitters giggling like a little bird he lifts her up and holds her.
"I'm sorry for striking you, can you forgive me?" Anna kissed his cheek and he blushed.
"Can we eat now?" Elsa said crossing her arms."My soup is probably getting cold." Idun giggled glad to see things were turning out right.
The King picked up Elsa "Yes we sha'll eat my sweet, and Anna listen carefully, I'm putting Elsa in charge of your punishment for two days, for staying up all night that means she can do whatever she wants with you." He gave his youngest a menacing grin and Elsa a sly smile.
Now then who's hungry." Anna giggles at her father "O-ho ha-ha-ha good one papa, oh! wait What?!" "He's Serious!"
Elsa smiled. "OH YES!" Elsa did a victory dance in her fathers arms. They sat back down at the table. "Oh shut up Elsa." Anna mopped.
Anna spent the whole dinner looking at her sister nervously Elsa's sneaky giggle always gave her the creeps it wasn't the fact that Elsa was older it was the fact that all older sister's are out to get their little sisters Anna thought to herself-("Maybe if I'm super duper nice to her…
"So Papa." Said Elsa at the dinner table. "Do you think we could invite Hans and his family to a party? Or a ball?"
The Royal monarch shrugged his shoulders, and the queen spoke up. "Well we do have that Christmas carnival this Wendsday."
Anna's eyes popped open! "Christmas Carnival!" "oooh with candy canes and rides and toys and sweets?!"
Idun added to Anna with a little less hyperactivity "And dancing, mistle-toe and sunset afternoons." she sighed happily.
"Oh how wonderful!" Elsa folded her hands. "Do you think Hans and his family could come?" She looked at her mother.
Idun gave her daughter a confused stare "I don't see why ever not it's being held in the time square."
Elsa let out an excited squeal. "Elsa you are growing up so fast little snow-queen, but you have been focusing on your studies and Anna seems to be well under control, so as your reward, Very well the boy can come." he grinned at her.
Elsa's face lit up. "Thank you Papa!" She went over and hugged King Smiled. "Make sure Anna and you get some sleep tonight."
"As soon as she's through with her bath I shall see that she is Father!" Elsa smirked and skipped off to the stairs.
