Anna's POV.
'' Now class, can someone tell me what the main character in the story had in mind when he realized that he's spent six entire months in coma. It's pretty clear that to him, it only felt like a few hours but can you just imagine for a second laying down for a moment and waking up six months later? ''
Groans and grumbles echoed in the room when the teacher eyed the class. I glanced at Aurora who was already asleep on the table and Snow who looked bored as ever as she stared a herself in the small mirror she was holding in front of her face to check her make up.
'' Ms. White, I doubt that you will seek answers by looking in that mirror of yours. '' The teacher cleared his throat.
Snow shrugged. '' I don't know, maybe I could. ''
'' Can you at least pretend to be interested? ''
'' That's what I'm doing. ''
The teacher shook his head as Snow hummed to herself. Of course, giggles errupted and I couldn't help but let out a small chuckle.
'' Ms. Arendelle? ''
I immediatly stopped whatever I was doing and looked up. '' Yeah? ''
Rrrrriiiiiiiinnnnnnggggg!
'' Nevermind, class dismissed. ''
As soon as we were dismissed, I quickly gathered my things before making my way to Ariel's classroom and waited for her to come out, so we could have lunch together. She was talking with the teacher.
'' Thank you for the advice Ms. July. '' I heard her voice as she picked up her bag and walked out of the class.
'' You're welcome dear. ''
'' Hey Ariel pie. '' I smiled at my friend, hooking our arms.
'' Hey munchkin. '' She grins.
'' I really don't like it when you call me that. '' I grumbled annoyingly. I saw her smirk while a small chuckle escaped her lips.
'' Even me? ''
'' Especially you. ''
'' You're so small, munchkin suits you well. ''
'' You are taller, it's different. ''
'' Nu huh, I'm the normal size. You, on the other hand... '' she trailed off when I glared at her.
'' Oh come on, I'm not that small. ''
'' More like tiny. ''
'' Whatever. '' I groaned, rolling my eyes and walked in the food court. It feels so good to walk in without having the crowd going quiet at my entrance. Thanks to my sister, she put them back into their place two days ago with one single glare.
'' Today it's chicken nugets with french fries, I'm hungry. '' Ariel said with a dreamy sigh.
'' It used to be my line. '' I replied, grabbing my tray. I would normally jump in joy because aside from pizza, chicken nugets was one of my favorite food. Yeah unhealthy, I know but that's totally me.
Nothing new.
Though since Elsa found out about my eating disorder, she made a rule that I eat with her during lunch and she makes sure that I don't waste my lunch in the bathroom. It's not always easy because it became a part of my routine but Elsa is worth it.
'' Anna! ''
'' Huh? '' I blinked and looked at Ariel who was watching me funnily. '' Umm... yeah? ''
'' Geez, I called you for like three times. '' she rolled her eyes. I followed her to a table in the outdoor court.
'' Sorry, I was thinking. ''
'' You think too much, give your brain a rest. ''
'' I'll keep that in mind for when you'll be lost in your own little world, thinking about Eric. ''
'' Haha, so funny. ''
'' whatever. What did you want? ''
'' In four weeks, we'll be off for hollydays, do you have plans? ''
I thought about it a moment and a wave of sadness engulfed me. '' I don't know... it's our first christmas without our parents, so... '' I trailed off and looked down at my plate.
'' Oh Anna, I'm sorry. '' Ariel said, guilt written all over her face. '' I didn't mean to upset you. ''
I knew she didn't mean it but thinking about a first christmas without mama and papa still hurts. Though, I'd rather not think about it now. '' It's okay... what about you? '' I asked.
She sighed.
'' I don't know. I wanted to invite Eric but to my dad and my sisters, I'm too young to date, so it's impossible. I mean, seriously? They keep treating me like a baby which I don't really have a problem with that because it means I still am the center of their world. ''
'' But? ''
'' But sometimes they're just too much and it's annoying. ''
I couldn't help but giggle. '' Reminds me of something. ''
'' What's so funny? '' she glares at me.
'' Scratch that. The last time I told Elsa that Adam could be my boyfriend, she almost crashed the car into a pôle and when she caught him trying to flirt with me in the hallway, I didn't know if it was me she wanted to strangle or him. ''
'' Man, she's scarry... ''
'' Who is scarry? '' Another voice sprouted in. I almost fell off the bench when I jumped in surprise. I'm pretty sure I jumped out of my body for one second.
'' Elsa! '' I gasped when I saw her with her usual smirk on display with that famous raise of brow. She sat next to me with her own tray.
'' Yes, that's my name. '' She replied smartly before turning to face Ariel who was sitting across from me. '' So, who is scarry? ''
'' Eh... aha, we were talking about a movie. '' My friend said, trying to sound casual but she was mostly stammering.
'' Uh huh? Which one? ''
'' The movie with that guy who... who wears a mask with that weird costume and he umm- ''
'' Kills everyone in the neighborhood. '' I bursted in. '' He films his victims while killing them and put in on the net. ''
'' Yah. '' Ariel quickly nodded. '' He was really scarry. ''
Elsa shook her head. '' Scream is just about a psychopath killer that finds great pleasure in torturing peole just for likes and views and it seems like there is no end to this movie. Honestly, too much blood for me. ''
'' Scream? '' I asked confused.
'' Mhmm. '' Elsa nods. '' You were talking about scream right? ''
Then it hit me. I didn't even realized that during my ranting, I uncounsciously made the plot of the movie scream, sort of.
'' Of course. That's the movie. '' I quickly nodded.
'' This movie is stupid but apparently it is very popular since they're making a TV show or something like that. ''
'' Really? '' Both Ariel and I squealed.
She sighed and with one hand, rummaged through her bag and pulled a bottle of Enure. I couldn't hold a roll of eyes when she placed it on my tray with my pills.
'' Don't roll your eyes at me, we've been through this a thousand times now. ''
'' Don't roll your eyes at me... '' I mumbled, mimicking her voice.
Elsa playfully swat my shoulder. '' You know the deal, doctor's order. Come on, I know that you like this stuff. ''
'' I like the chocolate milk. '' I said indignantly. '' This one is vanilla, honestly it doesn't taste much like it. And they wonder why we have trust issues? ''
Ariel grabbed the bottle and took a sip before shrugging. '' Maybe you have taste issues, it's pretty good to me. ''
'' Maybe the guy who invented that stuff has taste issues. '' I shot back and took the pills, downing them with a few gulps. I winced at the weird taste of vanilla combined with the sour taste left on my tongue by the pills.
'' Careful munchkin, we don't want the baby to spill. ''
I gasped on the the bottle at Ariel's joke, causing the drink to drip down my chin... much to my misfortune.
'' Remind me to take a sippy cup with a bib next time. '' Elsa teased, grabbing a napkin to clean my chin up. I snatched it from her and glared at the two of them.
'' Haha so funny Elsa, I'm laughing at your joke. ''
''I was only kidding Anna, relax. ''
'' Your sense of humor is really interesting dear sister. There is a fine line between teasing and being funny. ''
'' Aww is the baby upset. '' Ariel giggled.
'' I think she is. '' Elsa smirked.
'' You know? you guys are annoying me there and Elsa, you know that smirk and stupid raise of brow you like to do so much make you look like an old lady. ''
Ariel shocked on her water an bursted into a fit of laughter and I watched with amusement as Elsa's jaw dropped.
'' I am not an old lady. '' She snorted but I simply ignored her and turned to look at Ariel, pointing a finger at her.
'' And you my dear, are just a ridiculous fish tail. ''
Ariel stopped laughing at once and blinked before glaring at me.
'' Am not! ''
'' Are too. ''
'' Am not! ''
'' Are too. ''
'' AM NOT! ''
'' La la la... I can't hear you. ''
'' I'm not a fish tail! ''
I smirked and quirked a brow at my friend. '' Repeat after me then. Anna is not a munchkin! ''
'' Yes you are. ''
'' No I'm not. ''
'' Yes you are. ''
I huffed and crossed my arms. '' Fine, fishtail! ''
'' Munchkin! '' She stuck her tongue out at me.
'' Shut up you two! '' Elsa hissed, slamming her glass of water on the table to put a stop to our ranting. '' Both of you eat now and Anna don't forget your salad. ''
'' But- '' I cut myself off when I saw the look on her face and immediatly did as I was told. A few seconds later, I felt my phone buzzing. I received a text from Ariel.
-That look she gave you... Haha, poor Anna. I feel bad for you .
I looked up from my screen and glared at her.
'' Fish tail. '' I mumbled.
'' That goes for you too, Ariel. '' I heard Elsa say.
Ariel's face immediatly paled and this time, I actually chuckled as I munched on a french frie. Without a word, she digged into her salad. Just like me, I knew she hated vegetables and watching her eat them while holding a grimace was hilarious.
'' What is it with kids not liking vegetables? ''
'' Why all healthy things have to taste so weird? '' I returned my sister's question.
'' And they look weird too... '' Ariel added and I nodded in agreement. '' broccolis look like trees. ''
'' or humans' brain... ''
'' Oh please, can we just eat in silence? '' Elsa sighed in frustration.
'' Silence is annoying. ''
'' Anna... ''
'' Fine geez. ''
Alert boredome.
We retuned to our meal an started eating. A few seconds later, my phone buzzed again but before I could read the text, Elsa beat me to it. Her eyes narrowed as they scrolled down the screen and she looked up at Ariel who was squirming in her seat.
'' Ariel? ''
'' M'yeah? '' Ariel replied sheepishly.
'' When you say 'she is really an old lady', you didn't mean me right? '' Elsa questioned. I grinned at my friend and she smiled nervously.
'' Of course not Elsa, I would never do that. ''
Elsa rolled her eyes and I hummed quietly.
Of course she wouldn't indeed... if I didn't know better. That's so Ariel.
Normal POV.
After school, Elsa received a call from the office for an important late meeting. Having no time to take Anna back to the penthouse, she decided to take the girl with her. She wouldn't leave her sister alone anyway, she still doesn't trust her to be on her own after all the things that happened lately.
'' Can't you drop me at the park? It's on our way and it's only a few blocks away from the penthouse, I can just walk. '' Anna asked while playing with the stereo. She was bored out of her mind and the office is even more boring.
'' I would but you know why I don't want to leave you alone. '' Elsa replied simply
'' I'm fine, I didn't throw up since Punzie caught me and I don't feel the need to do it. '' Anna rolled her eyes.
'' And I'm glad to hear that but you're stuck with me. ''
'' Stuck is an understatement... '' she mumbled under her breath.
'' I heard that. '' Elsa said swatting Anna's hand away from the stereo and switched to the previous song. Anna huffed and took her phone to text with Olaf only to see that her battery died. Sighing, she leaned into her seat and hummed along with the song.
It was only ten minutes later that they arrived at the company. The giant 665 feet glass building stood tall in all its' beauty. The architecture was gorgeous and the structure was built to resist the overturning of lateral forces.
'' Wow, it's been a while since I came here. '' Anna said as they drove along the long circular fountain in front of the building. When she was little, she used to say that the company kept her family away from her.
She wasn't totally wrong.
'' It looks the same. '' Anna commented as they finally pulled into the parking lot. Elsa parked her car int the area only reserved for the CEO.
'' The interior changed a bit. ''
'' Hey, can I have my own spot in the parking lot when I have my car? '' Anna asked, unbuckling her seatbelt.
'' Sure you can. '' Elsa nodded, turning to look at her sister with a grin. '' When you are thirty and have your car. ''
'' Oh really? Wait, what? Thirty? ''
'' And have your own car. '' she added.
'' But why? ''
'' Because I said so. '' Elsa shrugged, wanting to mess with her sister and climbed out of the car. She adjusted her blazer and grabbed her briefcase along with Anna's backpack. '' Come on. ''
'' Okay, can I have a motorbike then? ''
'' No way. ''
'' But I know how to drive one, Adam tea- '' Anna stopped half way through her sentence when she realised what she was going to say. Elsa didn't miss the slip though, because she turned to look at the girl and furrowed her brows.
'' Adam what? '' she asked.
'' What? '' The girl tried a cover it by playing dumb.
'' Anna. ''
'' Why do you always Anna me?! ''
'' Tell me now. '' Elsa demands sternly.
'' I don't like when you use that tone. '' Anna pouted.
'' Adam did what? ''
'' Promise me you won't get mad. ''
'' Tell me. ''
'' Promise me first. ''
'' I promise I won't get mad. '' Elsa said softening her voice.
She doesn't like that Anna wouldn't talk to her because she was afraid that her sister will get mad. Anna still needs reassurance and Elsa will just give her that.
'' It was once, the day I attacked Hans. When I stormed off, we took his bike and went to the park. I asked him to teach me how to ride. '' Anna said quietly. Elsa also realized that it was also the day she found Anna drunk at Hercule's party.
'' Is that all? ''
'' Yes. Are you mad? ''
'' No. '' Elsa said truthfully. '' I'm not particularly happy to hear that but I'm glad you told me the truth. ''
Anna sighed in relief. She really doesn't like when Elsa was disappointed. '' Does that mean I can have a bike? ''
'' Do you really want to know? ''
Anna shook her head and unconsciously latched onto Elsa's hand, causing the blonde to smile as she dragged her little sister towards the entrance of the Tour. What almost made her heart melt was the way Anna leaned into her side as they caught the staff's attention. If Anna was a little girl, Elsa is certain that she will probably hide behind her skirt.
'' Good evening Ms. Arendelle. '' A woman who looks in her mid-twenties salutated. Elsa acknowledged her with a nod.
'' Good evening. ''
The many people who worked here also greeted them with welcoming words and smiles. They all looked surprised to see Anna since the youngest of the Arendelle familly didn't make any appearance in the building for quite awhile.
'' Wow, they look like stewardess. '' Anna said, noticing the women wearing matching black pencil skirt with a white blouse tucked in and a blue skarf tied around their neck. A black blazer was added to their suit as well.
'' It's the uniform. '' Elsa replied. Anna hummed and looked at the mans. They were all wearing black business suit with a dark blue tie. '' What do you think? ''
'' Classy. '' Anna shrugged, it was totally Elsa's style. Formal attires and all, not really her cup of tea. ''Aren't you supposed to wear a uniform as well? ''
Elsa smirked. '' I'm the boss, I don't wear uniform. ''
'' Even if you come dressed in PJ's, you'll look great. ''
'' I don't wear PJ's, it's a nightgown. '' she corrected.
'' Of course old lady. '' Anna rolled her eyes as they arrived at the elevator. '' Normal people wear pajamas. ''
'' Normal people wear nightgowns too. '' Elsa shook her head. '' And I'm not an old lady, I'm twenty three which I consider as too far young to be old. '' Looks like Anna has found the right nickname to annoy her.
Anna ignored that and tugged on her sister's hand instead.
'' Yes? '' Elsa looked down.
'' Does the building still have the food court in the thirty-fifth floor? ''
'' Yes and it's the forty-fifth. ''
'' Oh. '' Its been a while indeed. '' Can I grab something first? ''
Elsa checked her watch '' The meeting starts in ten minutes. I could ask my secretary to bring you something in my office if you want. It will save you the trip. ''
'' Or maybe I could go and meet you at your office once I'm done there. ''Anna suggested. She wanted to hang around a little.
Elsa considered it a moment before sighing. ''Alright but you come to my office as soon as you're done there okay? ''
'' Yes. ''
'' You should take my access card in case I am in the meeting room when you got up there. '' The two sisters took the elevator, stopping by the forty-fith floor, so Anna could go to the food court. '' Be careful, I'm at the sixtieth in case you forgot. ''
'' Yep. ''
'' Here take it. '' She handed her her credit card. '' I don't have any cash on me at the moment. ''
'' No it's okay, I have mine. '' Anna proudly shoved her platinum credit card into her sister's face.
Elsa gasped and took it away from her.
'' Hey! ''
'' A credit card at your age and on top, it has to be a platinum. What was dad thinking? '' Elsa muttered, shaking her head.
'' It's miiiine. ''
'' Are you aware that it makes you thieves' seeker? Walking around with that? ''
'' But- ''
'' I will keep it with me for the time being and I will provide and pay for everything you need. Food, clothes and all the necessary. It's my job now. ''
'' But what if I want to go shopping? ''
'' You will have it back when the time comes but that, '' Elsa waved the credit card before sliding it safely into her own wallet. '' stays with me for now. If you need money, just ask. Got it? ''
Anna pouted and considered using her puppy look but she had a feeling that it will not work, so she just gave in.
'' Okayyy... '' Anna sighed just as the elevator stopped at the forty-fifth floor.
'' Good girl. '' Elsa smiled and sent Anna out with a light swat on her rear.
'' Hey! '' The girl squeaked.
'' If you get lost, ask someone to take you to my office. '' Elsa grins.
'' Yes ma'am. '' Anna mumbled.
'' See you later. '' She nodded before the doors closed and Anna was off to do her things. The food court was huge, so were most of the things here. She looked around a little and observed the space and the people hanging around a moment.
'' Hey. '' A young man tapped her shoulder.
'' Yes? ''
'' Are you sure, you are at the right place? ''
Anna looked around and back at the boy with a confused look. '' Yes, why? ''
'' It's not a place for a kid, kindergarten is a few blocks away. '' He chuckled in a mocking way that didn't please Anna at all. Who the hell was this guy? Glancing at his badge, she saw his name. Roland.
'' I'm not in kindergarten, dumbass. '' She replied, not bothering to hide the annoyance in her voice.
'' Where are your parents? ''
'' And who do you think you are to even adress to me? ''
'' I work here. Well, I'm an intern on probation and probably soon to be employed. '' he said proudly.
'' Oh, really? '' she rolled her eyes '' You need to be less cocky and more humble to work here, amator. '' With that she turned to pass her command.
'' Hi Miss. '' The man behind the counter greets Anna. Unlike the boy, he did recognize the girl even if she didn't show up in a while. He reads magazines, plus everyone who works here must know who she was.
'' Hi. '' Anna smiled politely, ignoring the boy's comment about how her parents, at least taught her manners and politeness. She was close to stomping on his foot. Instead, she ordered a hot chocolate with a bag of chips and chewing gums.
'' Do you want your chocolate to be served in a bottle? '' The boy teased, earning a few giggles from his co-workers. Probably on probation as well.
Geez! What is it with people treating her like a baby today? First Ariel, then Elsa and now that idiot. Is it 'piss Anna off' day?
'' I would keep my mouth shut if I was you. '' The man at the counter said for their own sake.
'' Just do what you're good at. '' the boy replied arrogantly and added '' taking people's order and cleaning tables. ''
Anna had enough and with a swift move, she turned around and she finally did what she wanted to do since he adressed to her. She stomped on his foot as a few gasps were heard in the food court but she didn't mind them. She didn't even flinch when he approached her.
'' You little brat! '' The boy hissed, grabbing her right arm roughtly. '' Someone call the security. ''
'' Leave her alone. '' The man at the counter ordered.
'' Shut up, old smurf! '' said the boy as he pulled Anna towards him. Only, before he had the time to make another move, someone shoved him away.
Anna was confused at first when she saw the boy stumbling backward but then, she was gently pulled into two protective arms she knew so well. '' Elsa? '' She looked up at her sister. '' What are you doing here? What about your meeting? ''
'' Something told me that I had to come and check on you. '' The blonde replied with a knowing smile. Her instincts was tingling. '' Are you okay? ''
'' Of course. '' Anna shrugged and wiggled her right arm. Elsa saw the red marks left by the boy's hand on her sister's skin and Anna saw it too. ''It's no big deal Els, I'm fine. ''
'' I'm not. '' Elsa said darkly and Anna gulped, not because she was afraid of Elsa but more because she feels bad for the boy.
'' Ms. Arendelle? '' The boy looked surprised. '' I'm sorry I didn't see you, I was busy with her. She was roaming around and I know kids are not allowed in the company. I was afraid she would rob him. '' He nodded at the man at the counter.
'' Liar! '' Anna barked.
'' Brat! ''
Elsa's brows drakened and her blood started to boil. She stomped on her high heels, the look of pure, unbridled anger on her face as she closed the gap between them and grabbed his tie to force him looking at her in the eyes. '' My sister is not a brat and she is allowed in this building more than anybody else here. Included you. ''
The boy gasped as well as the ones who giggled with him when he messed around with Anna. They immediatly went silent.
'' Si- sister? '' He stuttered in pure shock, looking between the sisters.
'' Look at me. '' Elsa ordered. '' Yes that girl is my sister and when you mess with her, I'm the one you deal with. I will not allow anyone to harm the ones I love the most and definitly not some arrogant boy with no manners who has no respect towards people! ''
'' I- ''
'' I'm not done. '' Elsa cuts him off sharply, causing Roland to shrink under her implacable glare. Damn, she could kill him with that look. '' You know that I could fire you right now before you even become a part of this structure? ''
'' I'm sorry Miss, I didn't know she was your sister. '' He quickly said to his defense.
'' This is not just because Anna is my sister but your attitude towards the other employees is inadmissible. I will not tolerate it as long as I am the head of this company, nor physical assault in this building. Am I clear? ''
'' Y-yes. ''
'' That was strike one and you will have it written in your record. One more strike and you take the door with what is left of your dignity. If you don't agree with me, you are free to leave. ''
'' I agree with you, it was my fault. '' He nodded his head in shame.
'' Very well. '' Elsa let go of his tie and straightened her back. '' For my sister, she will apologize for what she did. ''
'' What? ''Anna scoffed. Was she serious? Like really serious? '' He started it first and it was his fault. He even said it himself. ''
Elsa held a groan... She just told the boy that her sister was not a brat and Anna's little attitude was begging to differ.
'' Anna, I said I will not tolerate physical assault in the building or any other form of violence and I intend to follow that rule. No exception. ''
'' We could talk about it outside then, where the rules are non-existent. '' She replied smartly.
'' Anna, now. ''
The girl crossed her arms and rolled her eyes in a typical teenager way. '' Fine. I'm sorry that you are arrogant and stupid. ''
'' Do it properly Anna. ''
'' I said I was sorry. '' Anna whined.
'' Are you really? ''
'' Yes. '' Anna nodded and paused a moment. '' But I don't regret stomping on his foot, he deserved it for teasing me and disrespecting the man behind the counter. ''
'' It's alright dear. '' The man smiled at Anna.
'' My deepest apologize. '' Roland told him.
The man nodded and handed Anna her hot chocolate with the bag of chips and the chewing gums. '' No need to pay, it's my treat. You are one of a kind little one. ''
'' what do you say? '' Elsa asked.
'' Thank you sir. '' Anna said, flashing her mega watt smile.
'' Come on now. '' Elsa nodded in satisfaction and slided one arm around her shoulder before dragging her towards the elevator. '' I really can't leave you out of my sight. ''
'' He started it. ''
'' I know but what you did was uncalled for. Though, I'm glad that you wanted to defend Harry. You had good intentions but it doesn't mean that your action was the proper one. ''
'' Harry? ''
'' The man at the counter. ''
'' Oh. '' Anna cocked her head before shrugging. She'll keep his name in mind for the next time she comes back.. Once they arrived at the sixtieth floor, Elsa waited her secretary to bring her folder.
Anna looked around and saw the meeting room, which was right across from Elsa's office. The wall of the meeting room were glass panels and though, she couldn't see through them, she could make out people's shape. '' Elsa? ''
'' What is it? ''
'' You are late for your meeting, I'm sorry. ''
'' It's okay. '' Elsa replied knowing that her sister truly feels bad. '' I have a good excuse. ''
'' Ms. Arendelle, here's your folder. ''
'' Thank you Tamara. '' Elsa told her assistant, taking her folder and returned her attention to Anna. '' You go and wait for me in my office. If you have homework, I expect you to work on them and I will give a look later. '' she handed her backpack.
'' Okay. '' Anna took her bag and walked towards the glass panels doors across the hall, swiped Elsa's access card in the electronic system before pushing them open. '' Wow. '' she said looking around. Elsa's office had touch of contemporary style.
First word that came to her mind was huge... no joke. It even has a sitting area the same side as Elsa's living room at the penthouse..
The walls were light grey with a teak wooden floor to contraste and a giant glass window that gave away the great view of the city standing from the floor to the ceiling. A large mahogany right angle desk stood in the middle with a glass top. A white contemporary office chair Anna assumed was Elsa's stood behind the desk and two others chairs across from it. On one of the walls were screwed modern shelves system that held lot of books neatly ranked in the right order, a golden crocus on display on the wall behind the desk and the sitting area consisting of one black couch and two armchairs with a glass table sitting in the corner on a white fluffy rug.
'' Hmm... that's where I'll stay while waiting for Elsa. '' Anna hummed, dumping her bag on the couch and went to sit at her sister's chair. '' Comfortable. '' she noted, spinning a few times and giggled. After the third spin, she stopped when something on the desk caught her attention.
It was a picture... '' She keeps a picture of me? '' She said questioningly.
Anna grabbed the picture frame. Indeed, it was a picture of a girl. A little Anna dressed in a pink princess gown on a swing, smiling widely, making her dimples more clear and her cyan eyes sparkling with joy. This picture was taken in the garden of their mansion on her tenth birthday.
She never thought Elsa would keep a picture of her on her desk, though, it warmed her heart for some reasons. Placing the frame back on the desk just like she's found it, she returned to the couch and grabbed her things, deciding to do her homework since there was nothing else to do.
One hour and a half later, Elsa was glad that the conference was over. She was ready to go home.
'' Congratulations Ms. Arendelle. '' One of the business men told her. '' I'm glad to work with one of the most brilliant and knowledgeable lady as you. I believe your parents would be proud of you. ''
Lady... Elsa thought. Without the 'old' added, it does sound better.
'' Thank you Carl, the pleasure is mine. '' Elsa politely smiled at the man. He was quite friendly compared to what she has heard from the few CEOs she works with. A bit cocky but nothing she couldn't handle. Dealing with trades and and paperwork was her playground, she grew up and was raised to be the Head of Arendelle Worldwild.
Once she has gathered her things neatly in her briefcase, she handed her folder to her assistant and went to her office.
'' Anna? '' She asked, seeing her sister laying upside down on the rug with her legs hanging on the edge of the couch. '' What are you doing? ''
'' Imitating a bat. '' The girl said, her face crimson with all the blood in her head. '' You look weird. '' she frowned at her sister.
'' Did you look at yourself? '' Elsa chuckled, helping the girl to her feet. Anna shook her head to fight the little dizziness. '' You okay? ''
'' Yep. Your rug is so soft, I could sleep on it. '' Anna commented '' It's like sleeping on a cloud. ''
'' If you want to sleep on a cloud, I could just buy you a soft blanket. No need to sleep on my rug. ''
'' Nah, the rug is fine. '' she laughed, grabbing her bag of chips. '' Are we going home now? ''
Elsa smiled when she heard the word ' home ' because Anna now feels comfortable enough at the penthouse to call it home which means a lot to her. It was a proof that things were getting better.
'' Yes. '' She replied.
'' Good. '' Anna said walking out of the office, munching on her chips.
'' Didn't you forget something? '' Elsa stared at her sister in disbelief when Anna shrugged and gave her a cheeky smile. Shaking her head, she grabbed the girl's backpack and empty cup of chocolate before walking out and locked her office. '' Anna wait up. ''
'' You're so slow. ''
'' Should I remind you that I'm the one carrying your things? ''
'' Oh, give me that. '' Anna rolled her eyes, taking her backpack. Elsa smiled and they both went into the elevaor.
'' I don't feel like cooking tonight, what do you think about take outs. ''
'' Yeah. ''
'' We can stop by the restaurant down the street. ''
'' Okay. '' Anna shrugged.
'' Give me that. '' Elsa gently grabbed the bag of chips and folded it.
The action automatically caused the girl to whine.
'' But it's mine. '' It looks like since she lives with Elsa, she never was able to finish a bag of chips without her sister taking it away.
'' You'll spoild your dinner. You can have it back later. ''
'' You always say that. Give it back. ''
'' No. ''
'' Please? ''
'' No. '' Elsa shook her head and smirked. It was so easy to mess with Anna, it amused her to see her sister sulk, she looks so adorable. Just to tease the girl, she took a chips and ate it.
'' Elsaaa... ''
The only response Anna got was a raise of brow from the blonde. She frowned and crossed her arms. '' You're no fun. ''
'' Oh, I love you too snowflake. ''
'' Mehh... ''
When the doors of the elevator opened to the great hall, the employees heard the girl's whinings and while they saw their boss wearing a serious look on her face and a straight posture, Anna was trying to grab the bag of chips in the blonde's hand. Though, as soon as they passed the entrance, they didn't miss the change in Elsa's body language.
How Elsa's look softened and the way her lips curved into a smile. They saw how Elsa rolled her eyes at something the girl said and brought her into a one side hug and for a second, they didn't see their boss. The perfectionist Head of a multi billion dollars company or a young and yet powerfull woman.
All they saw was a big sister with her little sibling. A side of Elsa they never saw since the woman always appeared to be reserved. It was another side they never thought existed but they've witnessed it. Only for a second, the blink of an eye but it will stick in their mind forever.
That's for sure...
Sorry for the wait, I just lost a member of my family, so and didn't have time to update.
For a moment I couldn't read your reviews but this problem has been fixed, thankfully. Now I can read them again :-)
So...
Lightning1997: Hiii friend! Your reviews always bring a smile to my face. Sometimes I fee like I am not even worth the compliments. I'm trying to make good stuff and I'm always happy to see that you appreciate my work. Thanks a lot!
8HP: Thanks to you buddy, I must say that I'm glad you liked this chapter.
Love Anna a lot: Hello! Thanks for the review, I really considered your suggestion but I just thought... Time travelling seems a bit out of place in a world where magic doesn't exist. BTW in the chapter 13, Elsa explains why she was cold with Anna, it was because she considered herself a danger for her sister since Anna's accident through the stairs, so she choosed to push her away, hoping Anna would end up hating her. But of course, she failed.
Dislike Anna: Hey I'm sorry if the story isn't up to your expectations but I can hardly imagine Elsa and Anna not being sisters. I did mention in my profile that it was strictly sisterly. Sorry again...
Aeon1120: Hi! Thanks for reviewing. I don't think I'm talented (Heck I still do mistakes... a lot and it really annoys me.) But I just unleash my crazy imagination haha. Though your review made me really happy! To answer your question, yes I have more stories like this one that I've written down on paper (I really like using a paper and a pen once in a while, the old way...) But I never published them. I don't think I ever will. We'll see. My goal is to finish this once first, just go with the flow.
Protoestrella: Aww you're just too sweet for your own good, thank you dear.
Lelo: Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I'm really happy you like this chapter. I was afraid it was too cheesy, I even cringed a few times while reading it again. I know I'm weird...
Thanks to everyone, stay connected and leave a review... I will try to answer to all of you.
'Till next time lovely readers... peace!
