A/N: Sorry for the late update! My family had a horrible time this summer with a family death so I haven't had time/inspiration to write. I hope you guys are ready for this chapter, though! This chapter is made specially for Gabby and her sister! Keep smiling, and if you ever need/want to talk, PM me, okay?
Elsa puts the phone back in her purse, focusing on the road ahead. Her thoughts race quickly through her head, most involving beating Hans to a pulp for touching her sister. She runs a hand through her hair worriedly, a habit the blonde has when she's stressed.
"What if... Hans doesn't mean to just harm Anna but to k... No, I won't let that happen." Shaking her head, the blonde pushes her foot harder down on the gas pedal, her car humming as it speeds up.
She takes a deep breath, her heart beating rapidly in her chest. Elsa glances over at the passenger seat, Elsa Jr.'s plush face smiling back up at her. Her heart aches, missing her sister.
"Once I find you, Anna, I am never letting you go. That's a promise," Elsa murmurs, her voice strained.
Seeing the Panera up ahead, Elsa puts on her blinker, signifying to other drivers that she is going to turn into the parking lot. Parking, Elsa quickly grabs her bag and rips the key out of the ignition. She gets out of the car and shuts the door, locking it.
Her tennis shoes, thudding against the ground as she runs towards the Panera, Elsa whips out her phone. She still had two minutes until Rapunzel was supposed to show up. In one fluent motion, Elsa swings open the door, enters, and shuts the door.
Walking to the barista at the register, Elsa orders a hot chocolate. She feels a pang of sadness, remembering taking Anna for hot chocolate for her birthday. Biting her lip, Elsa gives the barista a five dollar bill, and she grabs the hot chocolate, blowing on it to cool the hot beverage.
"No problem!" the perky redheaded barista says.
Elsa looks up from her hot chocolate, staring at the redhead. She looks at the girl's ocean blue eyes, her sunkissed skin, and her long red hair. Finally, Elsa's eyes land on her name tag. Ariel. The girl even had a name that started with an A. The universe hated her, didn't it?
She gives the barista, Ariel, a tight smile, mumbling a thank you before turning to the seating area. She slides into the booth, checking the time again. Rapunzel would be here any minute now. Elsa runs a hand through her, now messy, platinum blonde hair. She takes a sip from her hot chocolate, staring off into space.
Elsa is snapped out of her thoughts when she hears someone clearing their throat. Rapunzel was here, sitting across the table in the booth. She is sipping a coffee, looking at Elsa. Elsa looks down at the floor.
"Els? What's wrong?" Rapunzel asks with concern.
Rapunzel looks at the empty space next to Elsa, "...Where is Anna?"
Elsa sucks in a breath, her voice small and weak, "She... She... Hans has her..."
Rapunzel looks at her, "Who is that?"
"Someone from my, and Anna's, past. He had something against her... And now..." Elsa takes a deep breath, tears threatening to spill over. "He has my baby sister..."
Elsa feels Rapunzel put a hand on her shoulder. Elsa looks up, a tear trailing down her face. Rapunzel gives her a small, comforting smile. Elsa's lip trembles, and she lets out a strangled sob. Rapunzel quickly gets out of the booth and slides in next to her adopted cousin. She hugs the blonde, feeling the shake in the girl's shoulders as she cries.
"Hey, we'll find her. We can figure this out, Els. I promise," Rapunzel says softly.
Elsa buries her head in the blonde's shoulder, "I'm afraid, Punzie..."
"So am I... So am I," Rapunzel whispers, kissing the top of Elsa's head.
"Elsa, it's getting late. They need to close up. We have to go..." Rapunzel says, making Elsa look up from the laptop she was currently looking at.
"Hang on, I-" Elsa protests.
Rapunzel shakes her head, "Els, we can't stay. You need to go to bed if you want to have enough energy to keep on searching for her. Promise me you won't keep looking for Anna until the morning, okay? We can find her."
Elsa's shoulders slump in defeat. Rapunzel takes this as a sign to close the laptop and slide it into her computer bag. She helps Elsa up, the girl still slumped in the booth. Elsa sighs and hugs Rapunzel.
"Bye, Punzie. Thanks for the help," Elsa says, her voice tired.
Rapunzel smiles, "No problem. We'll find her, okay?"
Elsa nods silently, and Rapunzel steps away, waving at her cousin. She walks out of the Panera, leaving Elsa to stand alone as the workers clean up around her. Shoving her hands in her pockets, Elsa exits the Panera and into the parking lot. She finds her car and shoves the key in the ignition, turning the car on.
The blonde gets in, sitting down for a couple minutes. She takes a deep breath before putting the car into drive and exiting the almost completely vacant parking lot. The drive home was extremely lonely, and Elsa tried not to think about how there should be an adorable redhead snuggling a turtle stuffed animal in the seat next to her. That just hurts too much to think about. A tear slips down her face, missing her sister with all her heart.
"Elsa, do you want to meet your new sister?" Adgar, Elsa's father, says, a big smile on his face.
Elsa looks up from her sketch pad and nods excitedly. She drops the notebook and leaps off the chair, running excitedly to Adgar. The two year old grabs her papa's hand, his large hand swallowing the little girl's petite hand.
Carefully, Adgar leads Elsa down towards Idunn's, Elsa's mother, room. Elsa shakes in excitement, eagerly skipping beside her father. He smiles, looking at Elsa with fondness. He prayed that Elsa would like her sister.
"We're here," Adgar announces, stopping in front of one of the doors in the hallway.
Elsa lets go of Adgar's hand, excitedly clapping as Adgar turns the door knob. The two year old runs inside, stumbling a little, before reaching her mother's side. Idunn looks up, smiling at Elsa as the two year old peers up at her mother.
"Do you want to say hello to your sister, snowflake?" Idun says, her voice thick with tiredness.
Elsa smiles and nods excitedly, "Yeah!"
Idunn smiles and beckons for Elsa to come closer. The toddler climbs up one the bed, kneeling, as Idunn slowly unwraps the blanketed bundle that had previously been on her lap.
Elsa looks at the bundle, intrigued, as her sister's face is revealed. Slowly, the baby's eyes open, and Elsa looks in wonder as she looks right at Elsa. The blonde slowly reaches her hand out, and the baby grabs her finger, smiling at Elsa.
Idunn smiles, watching the scene unfold, "Do you have any ideas for a name for your sister, snowflake?"
Elsa doesn't look up from the baby's cerulean eyes, "Anna."
Idunn smiles, and she feels a hand on her shoulder. She looks up, seeing Adgar smiling down at her. Idunn puts a hand on her husbands, sighing contently.
"Anna. It's perfect," Idunn says.
Anna smiles up at Elsa, still holding the girl's finger. Elsa smiles, and Anna laughs, a small tuft of red hair appearing from behind the blanket. Elsa softly holds Anna's hand, and the baby's eyes slowly droop close. She holds Elsa's hand, refusing to let go.
"I love you, Anna. Nobody is gonna hurt you, I promise," Elsa says softly, still looking down at her sleeping sister.
