My lungs are on fire, I keep running. I can no longer see anything with tears in my eyes. My legs are screaming for me to stop, but I keep running. "Anna! Wait!", Elsa yells from behind me, making me run faster. 'Why now.. I just made a friend...Elsa...', I think as my feet hit the pavement with loud thumps. I can hear foot steps closer now but the urge to run keeps on. The icy wind stings my cheeks as I run forward, not missing a beat. As my foot hits the ground it's greeted with a patch of slick ice. My foot slips from beneath me and I gasp, my body going forward. I put my hands out to catch my fall but I'm too late. Pain shoots through my head and the world goes dark.
"Ughh...", I groan, feeling a dull pulse in my head. I open my eyes, I'm in my room. 'How... How did i get here?.. What did I do?...', My breath hitches as all the memories come flooding back. Han's Father. His hands on my throat. Running away with tears. Worst of all, having to leave Southern Isles High and... Elsa. 'Elsa', I echo to myself. 'She was running behind me!', I shoot up quickly, trying to scan the room for her, only to have the world spin. I place my hand on my head feeling a bandage on my forehead.
"Lay down, you're just going to pass out again.", hands press against my shoulders and force me down. I look up, the world is not spinning anymore and I see Elsa standing over me. She smiles softly and lets go of my shoulders. A sudden ache fills my chest from the absence of her touch. 'Why does she make me feel this way?', I think to myself, biting my lip.
Elsa walks over to the chair by my vanity and turns to face me and sits. I look away, afraid that if I look at her I will be reminded what I will soon have to leave behind. Hot tears begin swell in my eyes, my body starts to tremble, seconds from loosing it again. I start think to myself, 'Anna, stop being a baby.. Why should you care, you just met her... She isn't even your friend...', My face starts to contort at the realization of how silly I was to think Elsa was my friend.
"Anna whats wrong? It can't hurt that bad.", Elsa says with concern in her voice. I lift my body up slightly so I can look at her. "I have to leave tomorrow.", I say, my voice emotionless as tears run down my face. Elsa looks at me. Her face displayed so many emotions I didn't even know she had. She looked to be angry and confused.. upset and determined... and, to my surprise, at a loss of words. 'She seems to care so much.. why?'.
" What do you mean?!", panic lacing her words, snapped me out of thought. "You just got here! Things can get better! It's only your first day!", Anger was rising in her voice. "You can't just come here and make someone fall in love with you and then just leave Anna!", Elsa gets up and starts to pace. "I have seen you in this condition far too much to my liking and I need you here so I can keep you safe!" Elsa bellows as she walks back and forth.
'Love... Love? She's never even seen me before? What does she mean "seen you in this condition"?' Great, now me and Elsa are both panicking, I need to stop this. "Elsa stop!", I yell, causing my head to hurt more. I squeeze my eyes shut, putting a hand to my head. The pain dulls and I open my eyes and look to Elsa. She locks eyes with me, her eyes filled with sadness. "It's not my choice to leave Elsa. I... I don't want to leave you.", my eyes tear from hers to the floor, "Hans da- .. the principle is making me leave... I have no choice."
Elsa walks over to me and sits on the bed next to me. I stare into the floor hopelessly, until suddenly Elsa wraps her arms around my torso and pulls me into a hug. "To hell with him Anna... You are my little wild fire.. you can't leave.. no one is making you leave.", she said in a calm, icy tone. My eyes widen as I take in everything she says. 'That name...', Suddenly everything comes flooding back from that night.
I pull back from the embrace and held Elsa by the shoulders. She was still mumbling about... who knows what. My mind is too in shock to register any other thought besides one. I place my hand on Elsa's arm, 'Her skin is freezing cold..' Curious of Anna's actions, Elsa stops mumbling and looks at her.
Our eyes met and she seemed so confused... so concerned. I squeeze her arm and said the only thing I could, "Elsa.. it was you."
I'm more deep in A snow storm than I thought possible. Hell~ Anna
