A/N: Okay… so time to admit things. Well, this is my first fan fiction and in English too. Yes, English is not my mother tongue. So, I'm really sorry for all grammatical errors, I might need a beta but don't know how to get one or how this Beta stuff works (So feel free to help me out here).
Chapter: 02 "Nothing's in my Way!"
Anna shifted awkwardly and turns her face away from the sunlight as it was blazing on her eyes through the thin creamy colored curtains, but she only succeeded in a more uncomfortable position and after minutes of unsuccessful attempts, she gave in and flutter opens her eyes only to feel an unbearable headache throbbing in her head.
"Ah… What the Heck, where am I?" Anna groaned and tightly shuts her eyes again.
"In Heaven, babe," came a familiar teasing voice from somewhere in front of her.
"What?" Anna startled from sudden intrusion, jumped from the bed only to fall on the floor with a dull 'Thud'.
Ouch... That hurts…
"Hey calm down feisty pants, it's only me Rapunzel," Rapunzel begins, an amused tone clear in her voice. "If only you care to open your eyes, you'll find out yourself." She said while stifling her laugh by placing a hand over her mouth.
"Oh… uh, hey punzie… umm, care to elaborate why I'm feeling like some hippo might just trample over my head?"
"Oh… Well, common people called it having a hangover, which by the way I think is your first one, right?" Rapunzel ask, totally amused by her cousin antics.
"Yes… I mean no, well… ugh, whatever that's beside the point," Anna started, "what I meant to say is that why I'm having a hangover, punz?"
"Umm… uh, you… don't remember, do you?" Rapunzel hesitated.
"No," Anna gave her a puzzled look.
"Okay, you kinda-like having a hard- I mean you were in a-"Rapunzel was giving her a look that was clearly telling that she was having a hard time comprehending what to say and what not.
"Rapunzel. Spill…" Anna ordered.
"Youhadanaccidentyesterday," Rapunzel literally spill in less than a second.
"What?!"
"You had an accident yesterday, I mean almost had an accident, like you were umm… saved, I think…"
"Okay umm…" Anna started but was confused because she really can't recall a thing about yesterday and Rapunzel wasn't helping either.
"Umm, you will remember soon umm… about yesterday, but don't think too much it will only make things worse, you know," Rapunzel stated.
"Yeah, I know…" Anna was very well aware of what Rapunzel was talking about. But just as she was pondering, she was suddenly having flashbacks of previous day.
Platinum blonde hair…
Beautiful-no, a goddess,
Piercing icy no… cerulean eyes…
And oh so delicious pink lips…
HONNKKK…!
A-Anna….
"Anna? Are you alright?" Rapunzel asked while tentatively reaching out Anna.
"Huh… oh yeah I-I'm fine," Anna shook her head, but something was not making sense in her head. "Uh- Punz, How did I get here, I mean I know you bring me here and all, but how did you know about it, I mean the accident and that I was there," Anna wasn't sure what she wanted to find out or what she wanted to ask but just something was bothering her, a nagging feeling standing the baby hairs on her nape.
"You mean how did I find out that you were there? Or that how you were saved?" Anna nodded, but Rapunzel wasn't sure if Anna nodded for the first question or second question and decided to answer randomly on both.
"Flynn was there, at the stop while you passed out, so he called me," Rapunzel finished but from one look on Anna's face, she decided to say some more, "When I reached there, they were also taking you to the ambulance but I took you, and drove you there in my car," She stated.
"You said 'Also'?" Anna simply stated.
"Uh- Yeah, there were some people saying and Flynn too that someone pushed you and that she was a hero and all, but by the time I reached there ambulance had already taken her," Now that got Anna's attention, she looked at Rapunzel.
"Is she going to be okay?" Anna asked automatically.
"Anna… I-I don't know, it was pretty bad there," Rapunzel said while shrugging her shoulders.
"Okay, Which hospital?"
"What?"
"I said which hospital was she taken?"
"Anna…"Rapunzel breathed but continued "I don't know and maybe you should rest a little, you look tired or maybe want a breakfast?"
"Don't change the subject; is she e-even alive?" Anna can't believe but she was sacred and worried for that stranger.
"I-I don't know," Rapunzel simple stated.
"She saved my life Punz! A stranger who doesn't even know my name saved me by killing themselves! Who does that Punz,huh? Who does that in this fucked up world?" Now Anna could feel a tear stream down her left cheek, and she wiped it furiously with the back of her hand.
"Annie, please try to understand you n-need to rest," Rapunzel reached out her but stopped as Anna hold her hand to her.
"Are you even hearing me? No! I can't rest knowing that some idiot hurt themselves or worse kill themselves and not even know their name or to why they did it? Rapunzel I was literally ogling her, unintentionally but still, and making her uncomfortable, like she's some piece of meat, that's why I cross it in the first place and the next thing I know she pushed me and got hit…" This time Anna didn't wipe her tears and let them stream freely down her cheek.
"Okay, fine, what do you want me to do? I don't even know where she was admitted." Rapunzel said, mildly irritatingly, knowing her stubborn cousin isn't going to give up. So what's the point in arguing? She thought.
"Does Flynn know?" Anna asked.
"Okay, I'll text him right now but you go freshen up 'cause you are looking like a mess right now, I'll be in the kitchen." Rapunzel said the last past over her shoulder and left Anna in her own thoughts.
"Scrambled eggs with bacons!" Anna shouted behind her, "and please no omelet…" with that she scrambled off the bed to head to the bathroom to take a nice long bath, thanks to hangover or she would have taken a shower.
"So he said he didn't know,"
"He what?" Anna sputtered her orange juice over the dinner table.
"Hey! Watch it…" Rapunzel warned, sighing over the mess her cousin had made.
"Sorry," Anna muttered, a bit embarrass.
"Whatever, it wasn't as shocking as you reacted, Drama Queen…" Rapunzel muttered the last part under her breath.
"Hey I heard that," Anna protest.
"Whatever," the golden blonde muttered with a dramatic eye roll.
"Now, look who's being the Drama Queen," Anna started playfully, but sobered up just as quickly, "but are you sure, I mean he was just right there he must have known, ask him again," The redhead spoke.
"Anna, why would he lie to us?" Rapunzel said, then glancing at her wristwatch, "Dammit! I'm late, Anna finish up your breakfast and I'll clean the dishes after the work, and you-" She said as pointing her index finger at Anna, "… stay right here until I come back, understood?" the blonde ordered.
"Yes, mommy…" Anna said, mischievousness filled in her eyes.
"I-I…" just as Rapunzel was going to say something, there was a knock on the door, followed by a ringtone on the blonde's cellphone. "Oh my god... He's here," Rapunzel squeals.
"Uh… whose here?"
"F-Flynn,Uh Anna dear… um… how am I looking?" Rapunzel asked sweetly. All the previous conversation has been long forgotten.
"Wow… what you want me to say?" Anna asked, blinking at the now blushing golden blonde.
"Seriously Anna, just answer the damn question please." Rapunzel said; squealed.
"Sugar coated." Anna teased.
'Curse you' Rapunzel mouthed, making her way to the front door while running her hands on her hair and then leaving Anna with a quick 'bye'.
After Rapunzel was gone, Anna quickly finished her breakfast before taking the pills; Rapunzel has given her to help her with the hangover, and it was after cleaning her dishes did she realized that golden blonde didn't take her car to work and she had an entire free day, a strange thought came over her as hurriedly she grab the car keys and was out of the apartment towards the parking lot in a record timing.
"Rapunzel, I think you should have told her the truth."
"What? Are you serious?" Rapunzel exclaimed.
"It would be for the best." The man besides her said.
They were walking out the hall, several people passing them as they did so.
"You and I both know what's best for her," Rapunzel said knowingly.
He signed deeply, "Okay, just know what you are doing." He warned.
"I know,"
Anna was sure she was at least driving at 80mph on a local street but she didn't care a bit, right now all her focus was on the GPS system of the car.
"Dammit! Why aren't you working, junk pad!" the redhead fumed at the device.
"Okay, so the nearest hospital is three miles from here but I need to-"
Suddenly there was a cycle in front of her, "Shit..." She applied full brakes and take a sharp turn towards the pavement, which resulted in the car to hit its front wheel on the curb and climbing on the sidewalk, it would have been nothing, no it was nothing, if it had been a normal day for her but the shock and trauma from yesterday came down hard on her.
A sharp shriek comes from the car and then it stops abruptly, but the impact was enough to take her on the edge as a panic emerges within her. She can feel her hands tremble violently, her breath was ragged and shallow and eyes tightly shut. She can't even hear people asking her if she was okay, which she wasn't at all. Because what she saw in that few seconds ago was enough to leave her shaking.
Blonde hairs…
Cerulean eyes….
*Hoonnkkk!*
Then blood…
Everywhere…
Blood-stained hair,
Bloody body,
Even in those eyes-BLOOD…
Hoonnkkk….!
Anna's eyes snapped open with a shrill scream.
"H-hey, are you okay dear?" A man asked, cringing at the sound of her voice.
Anna blink for a few moments before recalling what he had said, "Y-yes, thank you." Anna stumbled.
"Hey, would you like to walk out of the car- i-in the fresh air?" The man asked nervously.
"No, I have to be somewhere and I'm getting late." Anna gave the man an apologetic smile, and almost reaching for the key.
"Okay, umm… want some help to get off the sidewalk?"
"Wait-what?!" Anna looked outside to find the car off the actual road. "y-yeah, that would be great." Anna said, embarrassment seeping into her face. Rapunzel will surely kill me... She though that with a scowl.
"H-hey, are you gonna barf?" The same man suddenly retreated several steps to save his fancy suit.
"N-no, just late for something, that's all…" Anna was sure she was now red as a tomato.
The man visibly relaxed, a smile again plastered on his handsome face. "Okay, take left reverse then move forward, move slowly back and I'll tell the rest later, just follow my guide." He said with a smile.
Wow… is he poet or something. She thought for a second before snapping back to reality.
After a few reverses and turns, she was finally able to hit the streetlamp.
"What the effing, holy mother of money dyke, tomato effing sauce is going on here!" she shouted at the top of her lungs.
"Umm... May I help miss?" The Mr. way-too-good-to-be-true kind man asked.
Anna signed rather loudly before handing the man her keys.
"Okay, can I ask something?" he asked while reversing a bit.
"Sure, what?" Anna eyed him curiously.
"Do you have license? I'm sorry if that's rude of me but please answer."
"No," Anna mouthed quietly before pouting at the man's laugh.
"I'm sorry, but be careful on the road, especially if you don't have a license." The man smirked.
"Whatever," Anna said with an eye roll.
After few more minutes, the car finally landed on the road.
"Phew! That wasn't so hard." Anna said while heavily sighing.
"Your very much welcome, dear." The man smirks and got out of the car.
"Oh… Yeah. Sorry." Anna murmured, embarrassment clearly on her features.
"My pleasure." With that he turned and left without even a second glance.
Anna huffed, when she can't detect him and once again went back on her mission.
First I have to get to that stop. She thought while taking a detour.
"Yeah,yeah. A blonde bloke, yes she was taken to some hospital." An old scruffy guy finished proudly, with his cheat poked out like a soldier, a drunken waste.
Where else she be after an accident, idiot. Anna though frustratingly, there she spent twenty minutes to find out any links to where the blonde might be and right now all she getting was rubbish from a drunken guy.
"Which hospital?"
The man thought for a minute before answering, "All I heard was they were taking her up the hill," He finished with a wink towards the fiddling redhead.
Eww… that's even worse than a grandma's kiss on the lip. He's at least seventy years of age. Anna cringed down at the 3 foot tall man.
"Okay, thanks…" She turned back and walk toward her parked car.
"Hey, darling~! Where do you think you're going, we could have so much fun…? Aren't you here to blow me~!" He sang rather disgustingly.
"Things I do for beautiful strangers," she said cringing at the man's calls. The only reason she went to him was because of a shop keeper, who told her that this tramp was at the scene and saw it all what happened there, Rumors or not, she needs to know the name of the hospitals; which apparently no one else knew.
Now up the hill was only one hospital and she was heading that way at 90mph.
"Arendelle Hospital…" Anna read out loud.
~rings~
Shit, not now…Anna thought grimly while picking up the call from office.
"Hey, feisty pants." A man voice said.
"Hey Kris, look I'm a bit busy, so I can't talk r-right now," Anna's voice broke in between.
"Are you okay, you don't sound okay?" Concerned voice said.
"No, I'm not. I'm at a hospital and need to see someone." Someone, who saved my useless life. She can't believe that her eyes were already getting misty by tears.
"Oh, are they okay?" Anna wanted to laugh at that, people around her were truly too good to be true, even strangers.
"I don't know, she's hit by a bus a-and I don-"A tiny sob escape her lips.
"Hey, calm down… she would be fine. Which hospital by the way?" he asked.
"A-Arendelle…" She whispered,
"Okay, I can come to you if you want me to, I mean my shift just finished a few minutes ago."
"No! I mean. I would love that, thank you, but I need to do this alone."
"Okay…"
"Bye, I'll talk to you later."
"Okay," She hung up the call and with a deep breath she exited the car.
Here we go… she pushes open the glass door and went to the reception.
"Uh- Hello, I'm here to… I mean is there any patients admitted yesterday?" She berated herself to sounding a twelve year old boy talking to his crush.
"Darling, this is a hospital. Three patients have been admitted here just this hour." The middle aged, fat women said, sarcasm dripping from her words.
"Oh, I mean tomorrow's evening, she was in a really bad accident. A bus hit her." She finishes, guilt once again crawled its way to her head as she hung it low, not meeting the older woman's gaze.
"Hmm, lemme check and describe appearance please?" She asked while blowing a bubble of her gum and typing something in her computer.
"Oh! Umm... Tall, slim as hell, Platinum Blonde Hair, Blu- no cerulean eyes- Is it enough?" Anna asked, a light pink blush making its way up to her cheek as she can't stop her fangirling.
"Is their more?" The fat woman asked, smirking devilishly.
"Umm... No? I mean, isn't it enough? What should I tell you more, than all that?!" Anna almost squealed, her blush a little more intense.
"I don't know? Maybe boobs size…" the fat woman suggested devilishly.
Now redhead was full red, a bit 'cause of anger at the woman's forwardness and inappropriate words.
"Look, just tell me if she's here or not," Anna said threatening voice.
"A woman, Jane Doe, was brought here on tomorrow's evening. Appearance you told fit her but who are you to her?" the middle aged women asked, her one eyebrow twitch slightly at Anna.
"I'm Anna; I'm the one who she saved." Anna answered firmly. "Is she alright? Is she even aliv-"
"Well, lucky you. But you can't see her 'because you're not family." She said, cutting off redhead's next sentence.
That means she's ALIVE! But… "Wait, I-I need to see her, she saved my life! You can't just say no!" Anna protested.
"Yes, I can." She said simply.
"Well, at least call her family here, so I can at least thank them." Anna said despairingly.
"Haven't you heard? Jane Doe? As in not identified?" the woman said incredulously.
Wait, What?!
"What do you mean not identified? She at least had her cellphone with her?" Now it's Anna's time to be incredulous.
"I don't know but please, miss I already told you enough, I can't tell more than I already did…" the woman was looking desperate for no reason.
Anna was about to protest but came short as the woman bolted out and ran to a cover of the hall where some nurse was calling her and shouting something about some emergency in room. What was that? Room 278, I think. Leaving Anna dumbfounded, another ring from her cellphone brought her out of her stupor. She look down to her cellphone, Kristoff was calling again.
"Kristoff, how many times do I hav-"
"Okay, okay, but it's urgent." He said, "Boss is asking for drafts and papers for the next project, I hardly been granted a week delay but we have to come up with something and quick, so I thought we could work from tomorrow? At least get some ideas to shut her up for a few more weeks?" Anna smile at how caring he was but was still a bit raw.
"Okay, tomorrow then." She said.
"Well… actually I called to know how you are doing. I hope everything is alright?" now Anna can't hold it back and start sobbing.
"Anna? What's wrong?" He asked, concerned and worried. So Anna told him everything about the previous day and why she was here at a hospital, she even told him about the blonde's antics and appearance which made him chuckle, surely she had a little crush at her blonde savior. This wasn't weird at all, as the person who is saved from someone (who is rather hot), that was a plus point, created some kind of affection or attraction toward their savior.
"Okay, first of all man up and show your ID and get inside like a boss." His voice boomed through the speakers.
"Seriously?" Anna huffed angrily.
"What? You are working are with us! If you hate using your father's name then use his company's"
"Again, Seriously!" This Anna shouted.
"What?"
"It's just the same thing, potato nose."
"Hey, watch your tongue! I was just helping, and this could be your last chance." He finished seriously.
"Okay, sorry. Continue..."
"Okay, go in their show your ID, give them your cellphone and lemme go my job with all the talking."
"Umm… What?" Anna asked, baffled.
"Just Do it!" He yells, though not rudely.
With a deep breath she walks back to the reception, show them her ID (thankful that the fat lady wasn't there now), and give them her cellphone and watch intently as what the hell was Kristoff had to say to them, after a moment a lady gave her back the phone and said to wait in a waiting room.
After Twenty minutes…
"Miss Anna?" A male voice boomed in the almost empty waiting room.
"Yes," Anna asked, suddenly nervous.
"Please, follow me," His voice was heavy and thick.
Anna quietly follows him until he came to a halt in front of a door, Room 278.
"Miss… this is the room of patient Jane Doe that you were looking for," He step aside and gestured for her to get inside. He opened his mouth to say something but decided against it.
"Can I ask you something? Is she okay?" Anna said. Her heart was beating so fast that she was sure can be seen through her shirt.
"Miss, you do know she was hit very badly by the speeding vehicle, let alone a bus." He said sadly.
"Can you come inside with me?" Anna asked, she knew how people looked after accident but never did she saw someone just in front of her, so she a little sacred.
"I can't but Doc is on his way here. Don't worry miss." With that he also left.
Anna was again left alone in this hospital but this time in front that blonde's room.
Okay, you can do it… you always does… it's not that bad, you are ready. You were born ready…
Finally, a deep breath and she open the door and went it…
… and her breath caught in her throat.
Sorry for the late update, next one won't take that long. And constructive criticism is always appreciated.
