But per th norm I am off tomorrow and the next so I will be delivering more to you as always :) I am wide awake, granted I know I have said that before, BUT energy drinks and my sleep schedule all flip flopped will do that to a person lol So yeah I am awake and will have this posted tonight :) So I will get right to it before my body decides to say yeah that's what you thought lol As always I do not own any of these characters.
Morning had arrived in Arrendelle and everyone was in the dining room for breakfast. Anna was curious about the commotion that happened last night, "Hey mom, what was going on last night? I heard something from the staff something happened to Elsa." as she looked towards her sister with concern. Elsa bit her lip ashamed she had scared everyone last night with her nightmares. Katya sighed, "Everything is fine Anna. Elsa is okay and there is nothing to be worried about." Elsa couldn't help but roll her eyes knowing her sister could sleep through just about anything, but shrugged it off. Anna nodded and then looked over at Narcissa, "So Narcissa, I saw you dancing last night with a charming, young knight at the party. I want details, who was he?" unable to contain her excitement.
Narcissa felt the heat rise in her cheeks, "His name is Terrence. He works as a knight, but likes to spend his time in the village. And we are just friends Anna." emphasizing the word friends. Anna grinned, "Sure you are." Elsa glanced at her sister, "Don't tease her Anna. She can handle things on her own accord." Anna shrugged, "Fine. So Kristoff, what do you have planned for today?" Katya interrupted, "Hold on a minute young lady. You and Elsa still have your lessons with me. Lessons before boys." Anna pouted, "Aw mom." groaning. Elsa laughed, "I thought you were going to start acting more mature. Remember Anna?" she teased.
Anna nodded, "You're right Elsa. I did promise I would act more mature." trying to regain her composure. Jack snickered to himself, Kristoff smiled as he answered her original question, "I would like to go to the village and hang out there when you are done with you studies." Anna nodded as she finished her breakfast, "So can we get started on our lesson mother?" Both Elsa and Katya raised an eyebrow, never seeing Anna the one to actually want to start their lessons. Katya chuckled, "As soon as we are all finished with breakfast, then yes we can begin." Anna nodded, "Alright I will see you in the library. Please excuse me." as she hurried out. Katya shook her head, "Best hurry Elsa, wouldn't want to keep her waiting on her lessons." causing everyone to laugh.
After the studies with her daughters ended, she went to the royal study to tend to some important documents. She knew her daughters were out in the village with the boys. She smiled knowing that in just a few days, Jack will propose to Elsa, bringing Icella and Arrendelle together. She couldn't be anymore happier to know that her daughters were in love and happy. She was also proud that Narcissa may have also found love. Narcissa was becoming more like a daughter to her now.
The thoughts about last night still bothered her. It pained her to see Elsa so upset. That Pitch still caused nightmares for her. How dare that evil man remain haunting her daughter when she has finally found happiness. She knew how bad Pitch was, recalling the terrible experience her and North had with him before his desire for Elsa. Katya frowned, she really hated to keep that secret from Elsa, but knew that one day she would have to tell her. She cleared her throat, "Gerda!" watching her maid enter the room, "Yes your majesty?" Katya smiled, "Could you please send for my husband." Gerda nodded, "I will go fetch him at once." walking back out of the room.
She knew that her husband would either be tending to the horses, hunting, or assisting with training the knights. A few minutes later, North came through the door, "You requested my presence. What is wrong my love?" She glanced over at him, "North, we need to talk about something very important." as she sat down on the couch. North took a seat next to her, "What is it?" She sighed, "Do you remember when the time pitch had visited Arrendelle. At the time when Elsa was eight and Anna was six?" she asked. He nodded and took her hand, "Of course I do."
Katya frowned, "North I am worried about Elsa. Pitch continued to haunt her and keeping her from being happy. I despise that man with what he did to her in Erebos. I wish I was there to witness his end. I would have made my life to see him pay for what he did to us!" feeling her anger rise. North tried to calm her down, "Katya I know how much he hurt you, but you mustn't-" "No! You don't North! You don't know the pain and depression I went through after what he did! He took away something important to me and ended it from ever existing! It's the very reason why you banished him from Arrendelle! He's just using Elsa to get back at us. I will never forgive what he did to me." her feelings exploding to him. Her blue eyes glaring into his own blue ones.
North just pulled her struggling form to him, "Katya I know that the grief was devastating to you, but it doesn't stop us from being happy. I am sorry I didn't do a better job at protecting you when it happened. I love you so much and our daughters. I would rather die than see you, or them in harms way." Katya cried into his red jacket, "There has just got to be a way for Elsa to find peace from him. I hate seeing her frightened and in pain." North held her at arms length, "I am sure there is, but we must remain positive. In just a few days time, Jack will make his intentions clear to marry Elsa." as he brushed the tears away. She nodded, "I agree North, it's just that day was the worst day of my life." He nodded, "I know my love. I know very well. Now come, join me for a small stroll in the gardens. Help ease your mind a little." She nodded and followed him.
Back in the village, the five decided to have some fun during their free time. Narcissa had found one of the guards like Terrence had mentioned to help locate him. She let them know that she will be down by the docks to find him and that she will meet up with them later. Anna was dying to do some shopping and wanted to go to the dress shop. Kristoff nodded and followed her inside, Jack glanced back at Elsa, "You want to join them, or do something else?" Elsa nodded, "I am fine with the dress shopping, though I will warn you, you will be plenty exhausted afterwards. Shopping with Anna can take an entire day if she had it." Jack held the door open for her as she walked through, "I will keep that in mind. Should we have a safety word?"
Elsa laughed, "Perhaps, even let Kristoff in on it." Jack shook his head, "Not a chance." following her inside. Anna was already grabbing at anything that looked like a dress, or combination of the thing. Elsa took her a seat, but Anna grabbed her, "No, no, no, you are gonna join me!" yanking her inside a change room. Elsa didn't have time to retort as the curtains closed, "Anna seriously, this is far from acting mature." Anna shrugged, "Hey I will have slip ups, now come on strip down and try this one on." tossing her dress. Elsa rolled her eyes and humored her sister.
Anna was already stepping into a yellow summer dress, "Elsaaaaa heeeeeelp!" she whined as she tried to reach back and tie the lace. Elsa rolled her eyes, "Hold still then." as she laced up the back. Anna twirled, "Oooh! I like it." as she lept out from behind the curtain. Elsa quickly made it shut as she was still only half dressed. Kristoff smiled, "That looks beautiful, you should get that one." Anna giggled, "I think I will. Elsa are you dressed yet!?" Elsa groaned as she opened the curtain, "This is so not my thing Anna." Jack eyed the dress, it was ice blue, rather form fitting, and made Anna squeal, "You look hot!"
Elsa rolled her eyes, "I feel so exposed. This is not something fit for a woman, much less a crowned princess." as she walked back into the room. Anna chased after her, "But Elsa!" she whined. Jack was still stunned, Kristoff waved a hand in front of his face, "Earth to Jack, you in there buddy?" she teased. Jack shook his head, "Yeah, just...wow." Kristoff nodded, "Yup, but you didn't hear that from me." Jack glared, "Yeah you have Anna, Elsa is mine." Both the girls chimed, "I heard that." Both boys just hung their head low, "Whoops." Kristoff chuckled. Jack nodded, "Yup."
A few hours later, and several boxes later, Anna was satisfied with her shopping. Kristoff carried everything back to the castle with Anna at his side. Jack tugged Elsa close to him, "So that was fun. Long, but fun." She smiled, "It was, wasn't it? I do like to see my sister happy." Jack rubbed his fingers along her hand, "You deserve to be happy too." She smiled at him, "I am Jack, whenever I am with you. You make anything bad just vanish." Jack smiled, "I am glad. How about we take a small walk, before we head in?" She nodded, "I would like that." as they went through the castle gates and into the grounds.
As they were walking the grounds, Narcissa and Terrence had also been strolling the grounds. He had finished his tasks for the day and both of them decided to enjoy their time before having to go their separate ways. Terrence smiled down at her, "So today was definitely a very good day. I was surprised to see you so soon, not that I'm complaining." She smiled, "I was just hoping that you wouldn't mind my intrusion. I know you have your duties to attend to beside having to deal with me." He shook his head, "You a far from an intrusion. I was very happy to get to see you, let alone get to spend a few hours with you."
She smiled, "Same here. though I do look forward to that picnic you promised me." He nodded, "You just say the day and time and I will be there." She thought a moment, "I do believe I have some free time tomorrow evening. If you can, I would like to try." He nodded, "The moment I am done, I will meet you by the town square?" She nodded, "That sounds great. I will be sure to bring a few things. Is there anything you like?" He shook his head, "No, I was the one who promised the picnic, therefore I will be the one to provide things. All I ask is that you come."
She slowly nodded, "Alright, but I would like to return your kindness one day." He smiled, "Just having you there is enough for me." She blushed, his hand slipping around hers, "Have I told you how pretty you look when you blush like that?" And more redness tinted her cheeks, he chuckled, "Obviously I haven't." She sighed, "I don't see how that's pretty." He shook his head, "Nonsense. Everything about you makes you far more beautiful and attractive. Even the blushing. You should never put yourself down like that." Narcissa frowned slightly, "Forgive me, I am just not used to receiving such compliments."
He paused and stood in front of her, his hand resting under her chin, "I cannot imagine why anyone wouldn't. You are a very special woman Narcissa. Anyone would be a fool not to notice. I am not sure what exactly has happened in your past, but I do see the pain it has brought you. I will not force you to tell me unless you want to willingly, but know this, not everyone out there is cruel." She couldn't help but feel the sadness from her years before Arrendelle. A few tears slid down her cheeks, he brushed them away. She became embarrassed, "Please forgive me, I don't know what came over me." trying to back away. He stopped her, "There is no need to apologize Narcissa. We all have our pasts, but it is what we decide to do about it that makes all the difference." brushing the tears away.
She slowly nodded, "It just feels all so foreign to me. Only few have shown me any sort of kindness during my life. When Elsa first arrived in Erebos, in the state that she did, I had to help her. In return she has bestowed more upon me more than I ever thought possible. She saw me for me and it was hard at times to accept that. Now here I stand with you and I still struggle. I am just scared is all." He pulled her to him, "I would never hurt you Narcissa. I know it's hard to believe, but if you can, let me show you that. I am not sure who hurt you, but know this, I will be everything they weren't." she just held onto him. She slowly nodded, "I would like to try, yes." He smiled and pulled her back some, "Good. Now, how about I get you back inside so you are not late for your dinner."
She smiled and nodded, "Okay." as they walked side by side towards the entrance. He stopped her once they reached the doors, "Well here we are safe and sound. I do look forward to tomorrow. Please have happy thoughts from now on. It would please me, as well as her highness to see you happy." She smiled, "Thank you. Thank you for everything. I too look forward to tomorrow. I will see you then?" He bowed his head, "And not a moment later. Good night Narcissa." kissing her hand. She blushed again as she watched him leave. She sighed with happiness as she went back inside the castle. Indeed Arrendelle was a new place with new beginnings for her and she was just getting started.
Bunnymund had been busy taking care of more things about the house since he had gotten up this morning. Tooth went to bed the moment they arrived home from the party and had remained in bed most of the day. Evening had approached and finally managed to have everything in the house taken care of. He was making some supper for both of them, unsure of how much Tooth would eat. She hardly wanted anything all day and he became worried. She was definitely not herself. He sat down with a small bowl of stew and quickly ate. He wanted to make sure she had something hot to eat in hopes she would eat at all.
He finished his helping and went into the kitchen and made a small bowl for her. He walked down the hall and to their room. He opened the door quietly, "Tooth?" She moaned from her spot on the bed. He entered and walked towards the bed, "Hey love, how about something to eat? You've hardly had anything today." as he set the bowl down on the side table. She slowly opened her eyes, "Aster, I'm sorry I just don't want anything." He sighed as he took a seat on the bed next to her. His hand rubbed the side of her face, "My love you need to keep your strength up." She closed her eyes, "I'm sorry Aster, it's just too much right now."
He sighed, "At least drink some water then." watching her shift slightly. He helped her sip some of the water from her cup he brought a while ago. She sipped some slowly as she laid back down, "Can you stay with me for a while?" He smiled, "Whatever you need love, I'm right here." as he got up and over to his side of the bed. He slipped in next to her as she snuggled against him. He watched her fall back asleep as he ran his fingers through her hair, "I love you Tooth." She mumbled, "Love you too." He smiled as he too fell asleep beside her exhausted from today's work.
In the middle of the night, Bunny was woken up to high pitched screams. He jumped up, quickly lighting up the room. Tooth was gasping on the bed, Bunny was at her side, "Tooth what is it!?" She whimpered, "I think it's time." blinking back tears. Bunny felt his eyes widen, "Oh dear, hang on love. I will go fetch the physician." as he bolted from the room despite Tooth's pleas for him to stay. Bunny ran as fast as he could to the castle, notifying the night guard to quickly send for the physician. Once he did that, he bolted back to his house. He entered the house to hear Tooth crying out in pain. He was immediately back by her side, "I'm here love. The doctor is coming." holding her hand.
She gripped his hand tightly, "It hurts so much." she gasped. He spoke calmly to her, "I know love, just hang on." Moments later the door opened and the doctor came in followed by a few maids from the queen's staff. The doctor was at Tooth's side to check her over, "Alright, let us get things ready. My dear you are just beginning, hang tight, things are just getting started for you." Tooth groaned as she slumped back in her bed, "You've got to be kidding me." her tone obviously agitated. Bunny stood next to her, "It will be ok love." She just glared, "This is all your fault." feeling another contraction. Bunny slumped in his spot, the doctor chuckled, "Best put that armor up now Bunny, she's already starting with the pointing of the finger. It's only going to get worse as the night progresses." as he had the maids get more things ready.
