By the way 7,000. Woo. This seems to be turning into the hunger games a little bit, so I'll bring it back to a love story. Who wouldn't question the letter. I would. They're going to be stuck out here a while. Weird things can happen when your alone in the woods.

Chapter 12: How to Survive a Blizzard

He felt suddenly scared. Did she hate it? Did she go out to invite him to never come back? "What's to explain? I think that letter is self explanatory." He almost blushed. Almost. They were both standing now.

"You don't understand," she walked slowly toward him." I want to know WHY you wrote it." She had his back on the wall with both hands by his head.

This was a new side of her. He never knew her to be like this. "Are you really going to make me explain it?" He said the words getting stuck in his throat.

She rolled her eyes and put one hand on his cheek. It was warm and red. Their cheeks brushed and her lips lingered by his ear a second before she whispered," Yes." She pulled back to look at him. She had a little smirk on her face. "But, since I know you won't I'll tell you my reaction."

He thought she said that a little seductively. Now he was sure of it. He thought he knew where she was going with this, but he was dead wrong.

"I go upstairs, sit down and read your letter here," she waved it in his face." Long story short I realized that I might have seduced you unintentionally," she looked to the ground and paused," so I went to tell you. I went down stairs and you weren't there. I read it again and realized you left. Without anything else to explain yourself than this letter. I ran outside to try and find you and passed out."

At least now he knew why she was outside and it was all his fault. "Elsa, I thought you were dead."

"I know."

He looked at her confused," how could you possibly know?"

"If I tell you, you have to believe me," she said because it was kind of absurd.

He laughed at her," When have I ever not."

She took a deep breath and said," ok. When you found me I wasn't exactly passed out. It was like I was outside my body. I could see and hear you, but I couldn't speak. After you went to sleep I heard a voice say something to me and I woke up here with your arms around me," they both blushed. "I knew we didn't have food, water, something to fix that cut, or heat so I went and got some berries, leaves, wood, and some rocks." She conveniently left out the part about what the voice said.

He had a sudden interest in his feet. "So, you could hear and see me?" He wasn't quite sure if he said or did something regrettable.

She giggled. "Every word, and every move," she took his hand," No need to be embarrassed. I think it's sweet." He looked at her."And I should probably thank you for saving my life. Now you are not going to do another thing until I get that fixed up," she pointed to his eye.

He laughed," Ok nurse Elsa. What do you want me to do?"

She started gathering the leaves and berries scattered on the floor. "Sit over there. I'll have this done in a minute."

He went and sat where she gestured at the back of the cave. He couldn't help but watch her gather her things. It's not like she looked fantastic, but she looked natural. Hair going every which way, and make-up long gone.

She was scrambling around gathering what she dropped. She arranged the rocks in a small circle and put the wood in the middle. After a little work she got a fire going. She put a large bowl like rock over the fire and put some snow in it to melt. She took off her shawl and ripped a small piece off it. She put half of it in the water and walked over to him. He was sitting back on the wall legs extended. She straddled his legs and started cleaning off the dried blood. "You really should be more careful." She took the other side of the cloth and dried off what was left on his face. "Here, put some pressure on that."

He did as he was told, but he was shocked. She was practically sitting in his lap. "Where did you learn to do all this."

She stayed where she was and said, " It might surprise you to know I have been stranded out here before and I do have a basic knowledge of first aid."

He wondered why she wasn't moving, as if being on top of him wasn't enough. "Now it's my turn to ask if your going to get off me." He laughed.

She had no expression on her face. She was going to do this and she would do it now. She simply said, "No."

All of his thoughts stopped immediately and he said, " I'm sorry. I don't think I heard you right. Could you say it again."

"Yes.."

He let out a breath."Oh I thought you said no the first time."

She moved farther up his legs. Almost to where his legs met his hips. "You didn't let me finish. I was going to say 'yes, I said no.' Yes I would say it again, and I said no."

He didn't dare move a muscle. His chest tightened and he felt like he couldn't breathe. She was looking at him with something different in her eyes. He had never seen it on her. Her braid was completely out now and it let her hair fall down to her mid-back. Her long blue dress was bunched up around her knees and part of it was on his stomach. He realized he was staring and went back to his original question, "Oh, well why not?"

She knew he was looking at her and it was quite flattering. She noticed his face glowed in the firelight. He looked scared and overjoyed all at the same time. She giggled, " You know, you ask to many questions. I'm not moving because this is the perfect time to do this..." She kissed him. It was soft and sweet. She pulled away and said," and this time, I meant to seduce you..."

ooo... saucy Elsa. What do you think is going to happen. I guarantee it's not what you think. But tell me anyway. Tell me what you want to happen.
