Chapter I

Elsa stood by the girl for what seemed like forever until she had to go to a meeting. She asked Anna to stay by the teen until she wakes up. Shortly after the Queen left the girl opened her eyes again.

"Mmm... Wha-Where am I?" She moaned, she sat up on a large pillow, setting her hands on her lap, she looked down to see that she wasn't wearing her wet clothes instead she wore an icy blue dress. She didn't mind, she was still half asleep though. "Well you're in Arendelle Castle." Anna responded to her question.

The girl was startled by the Princess's sudden response. "Wh-Who are y-you?" She stammered. Anna raised her palms "No! Please don't be scared! I mean you no harm! My name's Princess Anna. What about you?" The teenager's eyes softened, "Oh... Well, uh, m-my name's Elizabeth, y-your Highness. Or Elize for short. I don't care which you call me by."

"Oh... Well nice to meet you Elizabeth."

A knock was heard from the door. "Come in!" Anna called, the person standing outside entered. "Oh, hello Doctor." Anna rose from her seat to close the door. Elizabeth seemed to flinch at the sight of the doctor entering. "H-He's not gonna hurt me r-right, your Majesty?" She questioned softly with widened eyes.

"No. He won't hurt you, I promise. And please Elizabeth, just call me Anna. Okay?" Anna assured that she will be fine. Elizabeth still doubted her but she nodded. "Will you please step outside, Princess Anna?" The Princess listened to the doctor and stood outside while he examined the frightened teen.

After thirty minutes the doctor came out, "The child you found hasn't suffered anything major. Only a few bruises here and there. One thing is amiss about her though..." Anna became nervous once he said the word, amiss. "Alright then what is it Doctor? Is it something major?" She blurted before covering her mouth.

The doctor continued, "She has a fear of water. I've tried giving her some medicine which contained water in it and she immediately backed away from it. She wouldn't let me get anywhere near her with it so I decided to leave her be."

Anna was confused. How can Elizabeth have a fear of water? She knows that water is essential for life. That's a fact.

The Princess thanked the doctor for his help then entered Elizabeth's room. She was trying to stand up on her own. Anna ran by her side to help "Anna. Please, it's ok. I'm trying to do this myself." Elizabeth insisted as she politely push Anna's hand away from her arm. She wobbled a little bit but after getting the hang of it Elize started walking normally.

"I'm not trying to be rude but I'm starving right now. I haven't eaten in three days. I'm surprised that my body didn't show it yet." Elizabeth's rumbling stomach emphasized that fact. "Well, you weren't being rude and you asked with perfect timing. It's actually lunchtime now. Well brunch..." The Princess guided the teen to the dining room.

Queen Elsa was waiting for Anna patiently. "We're here!" Anna called out to her sister. Elsa turned around to see her sister standing with Elizabeth. She certainly didn't expect the girl with Anna.

"Oh sorry... Uh... Elsa, um Queen Elsa, sorry... Uh, this is Elizabeth, you know the girl we found at the beach?" Anna introduced Elize to the sovereign ruler of Arendelle. The teen politely curtsied, "Eure Majestät (German: Your Majesty)" She gave the shyest smile. At least she was being proper.

Elsa understood what she was saying. She personally knew German herself. "Ein Vergnügen, Sie zu treffen Elizabeth (A pleasure to meet you Elizabeth)." The teen tilted her head slightly to look at the long wooden table. She frowned. No food... Yet...

The Queen broke her from her trance, "Sind Sie hungrig Elizabeth? (Are you hungry Elizabeth?)" Elize frantically nodded her head. "Yes! Yes! Please I'm famished!" She covered her mouth and blushed, embarrassed at the fact that she improperly asked for something from a monarch. Elsa chuckled at the sight. "It's alright. Please, take a seat."

Elize was desperate, she swiftly made her way to a seat before anyone else did. It felt awkward for her at first. She never acted like this, especially in front of royals. Instead of a displeased look from the Queen she received a gentle smile.

Elsa and Anna took their seats as they waited for the servants tending the kitchens. The Princess tried to start up a conversation with the now-silent girl. "So! Uh... Do you have any parents or family Elize?"

Elize widened her eyes before stuttering, "I-Uh... Umm... Uh-Well..." She took a deep breath before speaking normally, "I-I don't have parents... T-T-They died of a P-Pneumonic plague... I d-don't have anyone else." A single tear fell from her eyes. She missed her parents. They loved her so much, they were always trying to keep her happy and healthy despite being in slight poverty.

She wiped her tears away when a few servants came in. After taking their orders the servants immediately went to work. While waiting, Elize played with her long platinum blond hair after undoing her messy fishtail braid.

After forty minutes the food was finally ready. There was more than enough for an excellent gourmet. The food looked fancy. The chicken made Elize mentally drool with hunger. She just wanted to stuff the meat in her mouth, but she maintained self control despite her desire to just seize the food and devour it.

Get it together Elizabeth! Control it! Don't feel it. Just keep it hidden. Do not show them... Do not reveal the hidden secrets...

She inhaled and exhaled softly before taking off her white gloves. Her hands were shaking from both nervousness and excitement. Her breath was shaky also. She lowered her gloves to the cold, hard wood. Elize reached out to the chicken first, then the salad and finally the fruits and cream.

Her plate was full of food, she took in the sights before reaching out for a fork. Leisurely, she brought up her food to her mouth slowly and deliberately, it had to be savored. At least she didn't have to rush. She felt her belly getting full every time she took a bite. After fifteen minutes barely anything was left on her plate except a small piece of chicken, she didn't want to reach up to eat it. She was so full beyond compare. The food here satisfied her hunger.

"I'll need to excuse myself Queen Elsa." Elizabeth murmured, she rose from her seat and pushed it back in its original place. She went up the stairs to the guest room she was at. She did get lost a few times, it was her first time inside an actual palace for crying out loud!

After opening the white painted door Elizabeth immediately jumped into bed. She was exhausted, she pulled the silky covers over herself then closed her eyes.

I think I'm gonna like it here...
