A/N: So whatcha like about my story so far? Just curious.
Chapter II
Elizabeth woke up at around 8:00 am. Wha-Where am I again? Oh yeah! Arendelle palace! She thought to herself, she kicked off the silky bed covers then fixed up the sheets and cleaned up the room. She was used to doing that chore. At least she gave the servants much less to do. They may be in for a surprise once they see the picked-up room.
"This dress is nice but I prefer to fix it up a bit right now. I know! I'll use my ice powers to change the designs." Elizabeth mumbled as she looked at her reflection, still wearing the plain light blue dress from yesterday. She raised both of her arms and the magic began. The sparkles creeped up her dress at first but then sped up once they reached her knees.
"Much better..." She gazed at her new dress. It was bluish-purple off-the-shoulders dress with sleeves that reached to her elbows along with white snowflake designs near her feet and a small sparkly snowflake at the center of her sweetheart bodice. She braided her hair into a French twist crown braid.
A few parts of braiding her platinum blond hair were very difficult for her but she managed to finish it no less, it would've been much more difficult if she didn't have a mirror. It wasn't perfect, it still looked rather nice.
Once she finished getting ready for anything she opened the curtains letting in some sun. She needed the light. Elizabeth heard a knock on the door after two seconds, "Elizabeth? It's time for breakfast." She recognized the Princess's voice. "Coming Anna!"
The teen opened the door. Anna gave her some room to walk out since there was only one door and she was pretty much blocking the way.
Elizabeth walked out with grace and poise despite being a commoner from somewhere else. The Princess couldn't hold back her complement on Elizabeth's dazzling appearance, "Whoa... Elizabeth, you look... Different. It's a good different... What I-I meant was, you look beautiful."
Elizabeth shyly smiled, "Um... Thank you. N-N-No one has ever given me a c-complement on my appearance besides my parents. Y-You're one of the first.." Anna blushed at that comment.
"So.. S-Should we go down to have breakfast?" Anna snapped back to reality after Elize asked that question. "Oh yeah. C'mon let's go!" She grabbed Elize's hand and dashed down the halls with her. The teen nearly tripped a few times as she tried to keep up with the energetic Princess.
Finally they arrived at the dining room. The Queen, yet again, was already there waiting. "Good morning Anna. Good morning Elizabeth." She politely greeted. Elizabeth gave a tentative wave and a shy good morning greeting. Anna just grinned then rushed to claim the seat next to her sister.
Elizabeth, knowing she was a commoner, sat four seats away from the royals. The Queen didn't want the teen to be antisocial. "Elizabeth? Why are you sitting there?" The teen looked up at her, "I'm a commoner so I can't be near royals. And... I prefer to stay away from people... I don't know why..." Elizabeth knew she was lying to the Queen. She was trying to protect her deepest secret that people are now hunting her for.
Her parents always told her to keep her secrets hidden, until... One day her secret was exposed to her village three weeks after her parents' death. She was wanted for so-called 'Witchcraft'. They chased her to the ocean. She jumped in and dived deep. Her monarch was angry at her escape.
Demon!
Witch!
Abomination!
Those names the villagers called her by echoed in her head. She refrained from crying, Conceal your feelings Elize. Let them out when you're completely alone... Don't feel, put on a show.
Elsa spoke calmly, "Look, Elizabeth, you don't need to sit away from us just because you're a lower rank in the social class as you say. You can sit near us. We won't judge you. And if you're about to call me formerly, there's no need." Elize reluctantly rose from the seat, pushed it to its original position and sat next to the left of the Queen.
The Queen noticed the new dress Elize was wearing, certainly it was something she's never seen before. It was completely unique. The royal seamstress didn't make it, Elsa for sure didn't make it, so how does this girl have a different colored dress with snowflake designs on it? She doesn't know but she didn't want to make Elizabeth nervous.
Breakfast was served. Luckily for the nervous teen it was her absolute favorite, blueberry pancakes with maple syrup and strawberries on the side. She lightened up immediately. "By the way Anna, we are having a ball tonight so I need you to get ready for it by 6:35 sharp. And Elizabeth, you have to be there too. Don't worry, I'll be beside you. Nothing to worry about, alright?" Elsa announced.
Anna became giddy at the announcement, Elizabeth however was less than pleased. She knows that someone in the crowd may become suspicious about her. That's is if anyone from her village was there. Her sovereign ruler of her village was still looking for her, she just knew it.
I'm going to be fine... I mean Elsa's gonna be with me... Nothing's gonna go wrong right? Well let's just hope.
