Chapter 9: Recovery

Elsa opened her eyes. She found herself in a hospital bed in a hospital bed. She saw that Anna, Kristoff, Jack, Jack's family and friends were all grouped around her. Elsa was very confused. What was she doing in a hospital? What had happened? Why were they all looking so worried?

"What happened?" Elsa asked Anna.

"You were poisoned," Anna replied.

"Poisoned?" Elsa tried hard to remember and then it came back to her.

She remembered being in the mayor's house and having dinner there. She remembered the ambassador giving a toast before he collapsed and fell unconscious. She then remembered what had happened next. She had felt something writhe through her body before everything went black. The next thing she remembered was then waking up in the hospital.

"Yes poisoned," Anna said looking sad.

Elsa then remembered something else.

"The champagne," she said in a small voice.

She had taken a drink of champagne. The poison must have been in there. It was the only place where it could be. The ambassador collapsed after he drunk some because of his toast. Elsa remembered drinking about half her own drink.

"Yes," Jack said. "They've just announced they found some traces of some unknown poison in all the drinks including ours."

Elsa felt her mouth gone dry.

"Did you drink anything?" she asked in a voice that sounded like Elsa had been crying for ages.

"I was close to but I didn't."

Elsa breathed a sigh of relief. At least Jack didn't get poisoned. He was alight. Elsa then was struck by another thought.

"What about Erik?"

"He was poisoned but he's fine," Anna said.

"Oh," Elsa said feeling more relief coming over her. "That's very good."

"I'm right here," Erik's voice said and Elsa looked over.

"Erik," she said smiling and he smiled back.

"Thank goodness your majesty is alright," he said.

"I know right?" Anna, Jack and Kristoff said in unison.

When Elsa had opened her eyes, Jack felt relief flowing through every part of him. As the time ticked by, Elsa looked like she was going to be okay. Jack was so grateful that she was. A small part of him had seriously thought that Elsa wasn't going to wake up. That she was going to stay unconscious and eventually the doctor was going to tell them that she was never going to and there was a small chance that she would get better. Jack would have held onto this small chance and it would have only gotten worse if Elsa had died. Thankfully, none of that happened. Elsa was alive and had woken up. She was going to be fine. He was sure of it. Doctor Abbott had said that if Elsa woke up she should be fine.

Doctor Abbott then walked into the room. Speak of the devil, Jack thought. Doctor Abbott looked happy to see that Elsa was awake and aware of her surroundings. She did an examination on her and then checked the machines to see what they were reading. Doctor Abbott scribbled some stuff on Elsa's chart and smiled.

"Well Miss Winters," Doctor Abbott said, "it seems as if you are going to make a full recovery."

"Really?" Jack croaked.

"Yes," Doctor Abbott smiled and nodded. "A few days rest and I'll be able to discharge you."

"That is great news," Anna said her face splitting into a wide grin.

"It is, isn't it?" Doctor Abbott said smiling and pocketing her pen. "I'll be back to check on you later," she said to Elsa.

"Thanks doctor," Elsa said to her.

Doctor Abbott gave them all another smile before she left the room.

Doctor Abbott left Elsa's room. It seemed as if the last of the poisoning victims were waking up and were now stable. She was breathing sighs of relief. It had seemed as if some of her other patients weren't going to make it; one of those patients was Elsa. But luckily Elsa and the others looked like they were going to make a full recovery.

Doctor Abbott found her friend Doctor Calvin Fisher in the cafeteria. He grinned at her when she approached.

"Did the last of your patients wake up yet?" Fisher asked.

"Yeah," Abbott said grinning.

"That's good."

"What about you?"

"Got one person left," Fisher said. "Fifty something year old male. Should be okay though. Good vitals."

"Excellent."

There was silence as Fisher watched Abbott eat her lunch for a few minutes.

"So dinner tonight?" Fisher asked flirtatiously.

"Haven't you and discussed this?"

"I just want to know if you would like to have dinner with me tonight. To celebrate that no more of our patients have died."

"Just dinner?" Abbott asked. "No extra mumble jumble?"

"Nothing extra."

Abbott thought about this for a moment.

"Fine," she said. "Pick me up at eight."

Fisher grinned. "Who knows? You may even come home with me tonight."

"Calvin!" Abbott said in shock.

Fisher chuckled. "Don't pretend you don't like it."

"It's inappropriate for the workplace."

"Does that mean I can flirt with you while we're not working?"

Abbott blushed. "No you may not."

Abbott got up to leave leaving Fisher behind her laughing.

"You like it. Don't deny it!" He called after her which left her huffing with anger.

Abbott then turned on her heal and marched right back to Fisher who was still grinning. He was enjoying this. Abbott slammed her hands on the table.

"Fine, you want a date? You got one! Tonight!"

"Great," Fisher said. "See you then."

"Fine!"

Abbott then marched off. It wasn't until she was well out of his sight did she realise that had been his plan all along. The sneaky devil, she thought.

The next day Elsa and Anna were in the cafeteria having lunch together. Anna had wheeled Elsa on a wheelchair to the cafeteria. Elsa was still a little weak so Anna had been happily wheeling her around the hospital as Elsa had grown tired of her boring hospital room. She had grown quite restless and Anna had taken pity on her. Anna had wheeled Elsa up to a table before she went off to get food. Jack and Kristoff weren't with them. Kristoff had gone back to his and Anna's hotel room to get a fresh pair of clothes on and won't be back till later whereas Jack had work but he had promised to stop by afterwards.

Anna came over carefully balancing two trays like some kind of acrobat and placed one down in front of Elsa and then put the other at the place where she was sitting before taking a seat there. They ate in silence. Elsa decided to break it.

"What's up?" she asked.

She could sense that something was going on in Anna's brain. She wasn't sure if it was the whole poisoning incident or if it was something else, something that had happened before Elsa got poisoned.

"I'm just thinking about several things," Anna said. "There's a lot on my mind."

"Well let's break it down," Elsa smiled. "What's the first one?"

"That would be worriedness about you."

"Me?"

"Elsa you got poisoned!" Anna dropped her voice. "And since you are, you know, a Queen, it could count as an assassination attempt."

"An assassination attempt?" Elsa asked sounding very perplexed. "I wasn't the only royal there Anna. There was the Prince of Sweden and he got poisoned."

"That's true," Anna then went into deep thought before she continued. "Well what if there was more than one target? Like there were several people there who could be in someone's interest to take you."

"Anna, you're sounding like some 1920s gangster movie."

"I know," Anna said. "I'm just thinking."

"To be honest, I don't know who the intended target was supposed to be, if there even was a target. No one knows. Maybe once they caught the guy or group, that may change but right now, nobody really knows anything."

"That's the thing isn't it," Anna looked worried. "No one knows who is responsible. No one has stood up and proclaimed that they did it."

"That's true."

Elsa now grew worried. Who was it? And why? It wasn't just eating at Anna but her as well and everyone else of course. There hadn't been much on that front in the news but Elsa guessed she would just have to wait and see.

"There's something else," Anna said staring down at her food.

"What?" Elsa asked munching on a few of her chips.

"I've talked about this with my friends and I don't know what to think and I kind of want your input."

"What?" Elsa grew a little concerned. What was Anna about to reveal to her?

"Do you think Kristoff is going to break up with me?" Anna asked.

"What?" Elsa could have burst out in laughter. "What on Earth makes you think that? It's the most ridiculous think I have ever heard."

"You think so?"

"I know so," Elsa said, "but seriously what makes you think that?"

"It's just that he's been very secretive and distant lately."

"Secretive and distant…." Elsa muttered and then it hit her. "Oh I'm sure it's nothing. I'm sure you're just misinterpreting something."

"You sure? You're absolutely sure?"

"Of course," Elsa smiled.

Elsa knew why Kristoff was being distant and secretive. It was because he was planning on proposing and he was probably just nervous. Besides he wants it to be a surprise and he can't say he's going ring shopping so he would have to make up some excuse. Elsa just glad that Kristoff wasn't being obvious. She wanted Anna to be surprised as much as Kristoff did.

Anna looked back at her food. Elsa was right. She was being stupid. Why on Earth would Kristoff break up with her? They had been together for over three years. They loved each other and they lived together. Kristoff soon came over to them with some food. He had obviously just came back from changing. That was quick. He gave Anna a kiss and he sat down. Anna gave him a long hard look. Nothing seemed unusual about him. Of course there would be. Anna was just being stupid. She was seeing something that obviously wasn't there.

Elsa was right. She was probably misinterpreting something was probably very mundane into something that was horrible. Anna should just relax. There was no way Kristoff would ever break up with her. If her friends and Elsa was agreeing with that then it must be true. Elsa was very good on the advice giving and if she was saying there wasn't anything to worry about then there probably wasn't anything to worry about.

Anna eased into their conversation feeling much better and with a smile on her face. Anna's phone suddenly went off. Anna checked it.

"Oh that's Anton," Anna said seeing the caller ID.

"Anton?" Elsa said in shock. "As in my advisor Anton?"

"Yep."

"What does he want?"

"I'll go see," Anna laughed picking up her phone and walking off and answering her phone.

Elsa watched as Anna walked off to answer her phone. As soon as she was out of sight, Elsa turned to Kristoff and gave him a whack on the arm. Kristoff yelped out in pain and rubbed his arm while giving Elsa a dirty look.

"What was that for?" he complained.

"You idiot," Elsa said. "She's starting to suspect something."

"You mean she knows I'm going to propose?" Kristoff asked looking horrified.

"No you idiot," Elsa said giving him another whack. "She thinks you are going to break up with her."

"What did you tell her?" Kristoff sounded even panicky.

"I think I managed to convince her otherwise."

"That's good."

"Word of advice Kristoff, if you want to be my brother-in-law maybe be a lot less stupid."

"Dually noted."

"Ah that was annoying," Anna had just come back. Elsa and Kristoff immediately hoped that Anna hadn't seen or heard any of their conversation.

"What was annoying?" Kristoff asked.

"Oh Anton," Anna asked. "He's all demanding about the whole poisoning incident."

"Can you blame the guy?" Elsa said.

"I guess not," Anna said returning to her food.
