Chapter 19
Anna's eyes slowly fluttered open. She was surprised at how calm everything was. Kristoff and Beth were still asleep, and Elsa was still unconscious. Looking down at Elsa, Anna began thinking of what to do next. Obviously, Elsa needed help as soon as possible, but where were they going to find that help? They couldn't medically help her and Anna assumed that the rebels couldn't help her because they were constantly moving She would have to talk to the group to decide. Her gaze started tracing Elsa's wounds. The cuts spread across her stomach and continued down to the upper parts of her thighs.
Sighing heavily, she looked out at the ocean. The water was a dark blue and reflected the suns rays. Her eyes slowly traced over the waves. Snapping out of her stupor, she looked to see where the sun was in the sky. By the position, she assumed that it was around 9:00 in the morning. She looked back down at her companions, she didn't want to ruin this moment of peace for herself or for them; however, she needed their help in deciding what to do next.
She gently repostitioned Elsa, so that she was laying on the ground. Anna slowly stood up and streched. She eyed Elsa one more time before she gently walked over to Kristoff. She shook him awake.
"Kristoff, get up." He murmured something in his sleep.
Anna shook harder, "Kristoff, get up." He groaned and opened his eyes, and almost immediately regreted that.
"Ugh, why does the sun have to be so bright?" Anna giggled, while Kristoff sat up. Anna started to wake up Beth, but found that she was already awake.
"How can one sleep when this guy is the loudest thing in the forest?" Beth said gesturing to Kristoff. Kristoff was about to say something snarky, but it died on his tounge when he noticed Beth's clothing.
His face had gotten red. "Wh- what exactly happened to your shirt?" He absently palmed the back of his neck. Beth laughed and looked at Kristoff with judging eyes.
"Why, do you want to see more?" Beths voice became lower and more seductive. Kristoff's eyes widened and he was redder than Anna's hair. Beth looked at Anna and the burst out laughing. Kristoff harrumphed and stood up.
"Well I'm going to use the bathroom, try not to rip your clothes off while I'm gone." He walked into the forest, while Beth and Anna were recovering from what had just happened.
"Ah, well, that was a fun little ray of sunshine in this hell." Anna agreed and they began to change Elsa's bandage. Anna took the bandage and walked doen to the coast to soak it in the water.
She dipped the bloodied cloth into the water and started to wash off the blood. She scrubbed it until it looked clean and she brought it back to Beth. Kristoff had returned and was sitting on a log, while watching Beth work. Beth re-applied the bandage and took a seat beside Kristoff. Anna sat down in front of them, forming a triangle. She looked at them expectantly.
"So what do we do know?" Beth sighed and Kristoff's shoulders sagged.
Beth looked up at Anna and Kristoff. "Well let's state the obvious first, and go from there." Anna nodded and Kristoff looked up at her urging for her to continue.
"Well Elsa needs attention that we can't provide. Her wounds have gotten worse and I think there might be the start of an infection." She connected eyes with Anna, who was nearly in tears. She shot her an apologetic look before continuing.
"We also need to find some new clothes, I was thinking we could return to the rebel camp we came from to get some supplies and get Elsa-" She was cut off by Kristoff who was shaking his head.
"That camp was temporary. We only had it there because of the prison wagon we had got you guys off of. They are probably back at the North Moutain by now." Anna's soul seemed to break when she heard this news.
Beth sighed. "Well there goes that plan. Anyway we should probably start moving. I'm actually surprised we haven't been seen by someone yet."
Anna sighed. "Kristoff, what exactly did you guys do to lower the guard count while we were escaping?" KRistoff chuckled to himself before looking at Anna.
"Well Dakota went and started something in the courtyard while I split off and caused a... Well cave in, in the mines. So most of the guards were at the cave or courtyard." Anna nodded and stood up from her spot on the ground.
Kristoff untied the small bandage to reveal a scabbed over cut on his arm. He laughed to himself. "Well I'm glad the trolls taught me to think about my situation." Anna weakly laughed and was about to sit back down when a thought entered her mind that made her stop in her tracks.
She looked at Kristoff with a sparkle in her eye. "Kristoff, are the trolls still in the Rock Cairn down by the moutain?" Kristoff was confused, his brain was working to connect the dots when Beth spoke startling him.
"Anna you are a genius!" Kristoff was taken aback and was still confused so Beth leaned in and explained to him what Anna was talking about.
"The trolls Kristoff! They could help all of us, especially Elsa." Kristoff nodded and his mouth took on an 'o' shape. He then looked back at Anna who was grinning like an idiot.
"I don't know if they're there on not but I guess we're about to find out. That's were we are heading. It's a long shot, but it's all we have left." Beth nodded excitedly and Anna was bouncing in her seat.
Anna stood up and walked over to Elsa's prone body. She looked over at Kristoff and Beth, who were getting ready. Anna gently picked up Elsa and walked over to them. Her arms burned from the previous night, but she was determined.
"Anna, need some help?" Kristoff walked over and motioned for her to give Elsa to him.
"No thanks, I'm good. Let's get moving."
Kristoff shook his head and laughed. He and Beth started walking towards the Rock Carin which was pretty far away from their current position. Anna had tried to keep up, her arms were burning alot and she eventually asked Kristoff to help her. The moutain man completely took Elsa and started carrying her through the woods.

They broke through into a small clearing in the woods. They had just narrowly avoided a patrol by the road and were all exhausted. The sun was setting and they were still about five hours away from the Cairn. Kristoff sat down in the clearing and laid Elsa down beside him.
He was breathing heavily, "I say we rest here tonight, we are far enough from the road and we are all exhausted." Beth sprawled out on the ground in front of Kristoff, groaning while Anna sat down on the other side of Elsa. The temperature was slightly cooler here that it was back at the prison, so they decided to build a small fire to keep them warm and keep predators, like wolfs, away.
Anna sat down beside the fire. She declared that she gets first watch while everyone slept. everyone was too tired to argue so they let it happen.
So here Anna was sitting on a small log and tending a flame that barely lit up her body. It had been about two hours since everyone went to sleep. Anna was desperately trying to stay awake, so she was just continuously poking the fire and watching the embers fly up into the air.
"Screw it, I'm waking Beth up." She grumbled to herself as she walked over to Beth and nudged her awake.
Beth groaned. "Beth it's your turn for watch." Anna fell down beside of Beth next to Elsa and almost immediately fell asleep.
Beth yawned and sat up. She looked over her companions. She laughed to herself, she figured that this was straight out of a storybook that she read when she was a kid. She started to poke the fire with the same stick Anna was using, counting down the minutes until Kristoff had to take watch and she could sleep.
