Chapter 8: Arrival of Anna

North headed out of the hospital. He was quite nervous on what had happened and what was currently going on. He had tried talking to his friend the mayor but he was busy talking to the press. North could see the mayor surrounded by journalists. They looked like sharks about to go in for the kill. He was glad he wasn't him. North headed towards his car and started the engine. North had decided to go talk to Jack's family. They may have seen the news and may be in a bit of a state.

North drove along the familiar streets of Burgess. He soon saw the street sign that pointed the way to Jack's street. North turned the steering wheel and he drove down it. Jack's house soon came into view and North drove into the driveway and parked the car. He opened his car door and stepped out of his car. He walked up to the front door and used the door knocker to knock on the door. Mrs Frost appeared at the door. She smiled when she saw him.

"Nick," she said.

North's real name was Nicolas North but he was commonly known as North.

"Caroline," North said giving a small sigh. He wondered how he was going to discuss this or maybe even have to break it to her. "Uh, have you seen the news?"

"No," Mrs Frost's eyebrows narrowed. "Why?"

"Then I have something big to tell you," North said. "You and Pippa."

Mrs Frost's curiosity and worriedness peaked but she didn't say anything further. She instead stepped back and allowed North to enter the house. North and Mrs Frost walked down the hallway where they found Pippa in the kitchen. Pippa looked surprised to see North there. Mrs Frost sat down next to her daughter and they both gave North their full undivided attention.

"Something has happened," North said.

"What?" Pippa and Mrs Frost said.

"You know how Jack accompany Elsa to a very important dinner?"

"Yeah," they both said slowly.

"Well I was at the same dinner and it was no ordinary dinner."

"What does that mean?" Pippa asked.

"Well we never got to dinner," North said.

"What does that mean?" Pippa asked again.

"There was a poisoning," North said very carefully.

Pippa and Mrs Frost stood up in shock.

"What?!" they both said outraged.

"Is Jack-?" Mrs Frost began.

"No," North said, "but Elsa is."

"Is she-?" Pippa asked.

"No but she is unconscious."

Mrs Frost and Pippa gave each other a look before they raced outside with North right behind them. They all jumped into North's car. North put his keys in the ignition and started the engine. North put his foot down on the accelerator and he drove up the road and headed in the direction of the hospital. Along the way, North filled them in on everything that happened. It made them feel even more worried.

Jack was still next to Elsa's bed. It was getting late and Jack could see the sun starting to set. He could feel his eyes starting to droop. Before he knew it, he was being shaken awake by someone. When he opened his eyes, he saw North had returned but this time he had brought his mother and sister.

"Jack," Pippa said, "are you alright?"

"Physically yes," Jack said. "Emotionally no."

"Understandable."

Abbott was working on another one of her patient's charts. His name was Erik Stinar and he had been one of the victims of the mass poisoning. He was lucky. He hadn't ingested a lot of poison so Abbott was hopeful that he would make a quick and easy recovery. She quickly read over his chart one last time and smiled at it. She was glad that someone was going to be a solid alright case.

Suddenly she heard a small groan. She looked up from the chart and saw that Erik's eyes were flickering open. This was a good sign. He had only been out for several hours. She leaned over him.

"Where am I?" he asked her.

"Mr Stinar, my name is Doctor Abbott," Abbott said. "You're in the hospital. You were poisoned but it looks like you are going to be okay."

"Oh," he looked relieved but then a look of horror came over his face. "What about the girl I was brought in with?"

"What girl?"

"Blonde hair, may be with a guy with white hair."

Abbott was struck by a thought. It sounded as if he was talking about another one of her patients.

"Do you mean Elsa Winters?" she asked.

"Yes her," Erik looked eager. "Could you see if she is alight?"

"Certainly," Abbott said.

Abbott put down Erik's chart and headed down the hallway of the hospital to Elsa Winters' room. It seemed as if her visitors had duplicated since she was last there.

"I think there are too many of you," Abbott said. "Unless you're the boyfriend, could you please leave? Visiting hours are actually over."

"We'll leave you later Jack," said a girl with black hair. "We'll be back tomorrow."

Everyone but Jack stayed in the room. Abbott looked over Elsa's chart but the news was still the same. Abbott sighed. Why wasn't her job always easy?

"Is she okay doc?" Jack asked.

"I hope so," Abbott responded. "Her vitals are slowly improving but she's still unconscious and that's not a good sign."

"Oh," was all that Jack could say.

Abbott doubled check Elsa before Jack spoke again.

"How many are dead?"

Abbott turned to look at him. "Unfortunately the number has risen to ten now."

"Ten," Jack repeated looking a little ill.

"Well I have some good news," she said. "The person who came in with Elsa, an Erik Stinar, has woken up."

"Erik is okay?"

"Yes, do you know him?"

"Yes, he's a friend of Elsa's."

"Well he's awake if you want to see him."

"Thanks doc."

Abbott smiled before she swept out of the room and she headed back to Erik's room. He still looked a little pale but he was still awake which was a good sign. Abbott rechecked everything before she was content.

"Is Elsa okay?" Erik asked.

"Sadly no," Abbott replied. "She still hasn't woken up but that may change in a day or so."

"Oh," Erik said. "She has to be okay."

"I know."

Jack watched Doctor Abbott leave with sadness consuming his soul. Ten people had already died. According to what he had heard, seventeen people had been poisoned meaning that ten out seventeen had died. That was more than half. He just hoped that Elsa wasn't one of next ones. Jack made his way to Erik's room. Erik was glad to see Jack and Jack was glad to see him up and about. Erik was upset about Elsa and Jack promised to keep him updated on what he could.

Jack headed back to Elsa's room. He didn't want to leave her alone too long. He didn't want her waking up without him beside her. He took up his usual seat again and watched her. He could see her chest going up and down. She still didn't look any better despite being on medication for the last several hours. Jack grew more worried. She had to get better. She just had to.

Anna and Kristoff arrived at the hospital in the late evening of that day. Their flight had gotten in quite late so they would get to the hospital during night time. They paid the taxi driver and grabbed their bags from the boot. They headed into the hospital and asked after Elsa. The woman behind the receptionist desk gave them the directions they needed and they headed in that direction.

Anna's heart was racing now. She was almost there. They headed into the elevator and pressed the floor button that they needed. She pressed it several times as if it would make a difference. The elevator doors soon opened and they headed out into Elsa's floor. They found Elsa's room very quickly. They found Jack asleep in a chair beside the hospital bed that Elsa was lying in. Seeing Elsa unconscious and not moving made Anna's heart break. They walked into the room and Kristoff shook Jack awake.

"You're here," he said with a smile.

"We are," Anna smiled back.

They put their bags down and got more chairs. They stayed there for a while before Kristoff headed down and got them all breakfast. Anna's eyes never left Elsa's closed ones. She wondered what would happen if Elsa never woke up. She didn't know what she would do if Elsa didn't wake up. Anna didn't want to imagine life without her sister. She didn't want to have to go back to Arendelle and inform them that their Queen was dead. That was something that Anna never wanted to do.

Kristoff soon came back with food and they ate in silence. Jack told Anna everything that happened. It didn't improve Anna's mood to hear about what happened. Jack then told Anna that Erik was up and about from his poisoning. Anna headed into Erik's room and he looked surprised and relieved to see Anna there. Anna informed him that there was no change in Elsa's condition. Erik had told her that he had made contact with Arendelle and they were just as tense as they were.

Anna walked back into Elsa's room. It wasn't long before more visitors appeared. All of Jack's school friends and his family visited at various hours during the day but Anna wasn't really paying attention. Elsa had been unconscious for the entire day and it didn't look like she was going to wake up at any moment soon. Anna grew more and more tense and worried as the hours ticked by and still nothing. Was the medication not working? Anna grew even more nervous at that thought.

At least Elsa wasn't the only one who hadn't woken up yet. Some of the other poisoning victims hadn't woken up yet and a couple of them were in better shape than Elsa. That eased Anna's mind slightly but it didn't do much to ease the nerves that had completely taken over Anna's body.

Anna and Kristoff, who were both exhausted from their trip, decided to go get a hotel room for themselves. Anna didn't want to leave Elsa but Kristoff persuaded her otherwise. She did need a shower and a change of clothes. Kristoff also managed to convince Jack to go get a change of clothes and to get some rest at his own home as well. North offered to stay with Jack while they did so.

Anna and Kristoff headed out and found a nice hotel. Even without a booking they somehow managed to get a room. It was a single room with a double bed. They both unpacked and had a shower each. Anna was still shaking. She somehow had a really bad feeling about something and she couldn't place it. Was it about Elsa? Or was it about something else entirely? They slid into the bed together and as soon as Anna's head hit the pillow, she was sound asleep. They both woke up the next day feeling fully refreshed.

They both headed back to the hospital where they found that Erik had been moved into Elsa's room by his request. One that had met no opposition. Anna found that Elsa's condition hadn't worsened overnight but it hadn't improved dramatically either but at least it was improving. She and Jack took turns watching Elsa to make sure she was going to be alright but nothing happened at all that day. Anna was still getting more and more concerned. Her fears about Elsa never waking up looked like they were about to become a reality. At least Elsa's doctor, Doctor Abbott, was still very hopeful that Elsa would make a full recovery if she woke up in the next couple of days. Anna held onto this hope as if it was some kind of talisman. She needed hope right now.

The rest of the day passed without anything happening at all. Anna could see that it was some kind of waiting game. At least Erik was improving. Doctor Abbott was happy to announce that he would be able to be discharged in the next couple of days if he kept improving at the rate he was. Anna wished that the same could be said about Elsa. Anna and Kristoff returned to their hotel room feeling a little defeated.

The next morning, they arrived at the hospital at the usual time. Jack and his family arrived around eleven and they all launched into conversation about whatever they could think about. That was when Anna, whose attention never left Elsa, saw that Elsa moved her body in a way that someone would if they were waking up. She then heard a groan.

"Everyone shut up," Anna yelled at everyone.

They all did so and their attention fell on Elsa. Anna grew closer to Elsa.

"Elsa?" she asked nervously.

Elsa's eyes then flickered open.
