4 Never Underestimate Family
POV Merida
Anna is walking in circles in our chamber of Gryffindor. “Something wrong?” I asked from her when I leaned back on the sofa. She made even me feel restless. “Elsa,” she exhaled and continued her walking. I let the air run out of my lungs, “What has she now done?”
Anna was always worrying about Elsa, ever since what happened to their parents and she felt guilty because Elsa hurt her accidentally after that. Yeah, she felt bad for her sister who hurt her. Sometimes I wonder what is going on in my friends head.
The sofa bend when Anna jumped next to me. “She is obsessed!” Anna groaned. “By what demon?” I laughed. Anna rolled her eyes, “He kinda is a demon, Jack Frost.” My mouth started to twitch, “She has a crush on him? “ I smirked to Anna who immediately pushed me from my shoulders. “Nah you silly!” She giggled. “She is obsessed in different way. She thinks that he works for you-know-who and she wants to make a grand bust,” Anna smiled.
I rubbed my hands together, “So.. She won’t still have a pair to Halloween ball then?” I looked at Anna. “No if you don’t count spying a person as pairing up!” We laughed together. Then I cleared my throat, “But seriously Anna, do you believe that Frost might be up to no good? I mean he is a bit weird and avoids people?”
Anna shook her head, “I don’t think that he is. Odd person he is none the less. I mean no one knows almost anything about him? Not even in Slytherin. I just pity on him.” I started to really wonder if we should be worried about him being in this school of magic. What if he really works for you-know-who as everyone is telling, then he might be working secretly from the inside. Until you-know-who strikes.
“So,” Anna relaxed and she looked at me funny. “Do you believe that someone will ask us to the Halloween ball? I mean it is for last year students but if you’re a partner then,” she giggled. I rolled my eyes, “No. I mean who would possibly ask me to a dance?” Anna smirked, “Maybe Peter?”
My eyes widened, “No way! I would never go! I don’t need any boys near me!” I turned around and her hand went to my shoulder. “Hey, I know that you were betrayed by a guy and your family was almost captured by you-know-who but Peter might be a nice guy,” Anna smiled. “NICE! Didn’t you see what he did to that Frost boy?” Anna seemed like she was doing thinking work, “Well.. Maybe he can change?”
“No! “ I gasped and Anna’s face was red. Now is my chance to turn the subject to her. “I guess that Kristoff will ask you ?” Anna was now in deep shade of red all over her. “I don’t know but I hope he will.. I mean is kind of sweet and has been helping me with my spells a lot lately and,” Anna was moving her bodyweight anxiously from side to side. “Ha! I knew it! You like him!” I pointed at Anna and I felt victorious. Anna frowned, “Maybe! But after that Hans guy everything might seem too sweet?”
We both nodded in agreement. Hans was just trying to get to Elsa through Anna, he wanted their wealth since they were from the richest wizard family. Unfortunately Elsa didn’t warm up for him and now he is like a shadow that limps in castle corridors. It serves him right since he treated Anna so awfully. Who else would be such a coward and leave a girl behind when a troll attacks? Geez.
POV Hiccup
“There, there my sweet babies,” I tuck the dragon eggs beneath a blanket. “Sleep well, I will take care of you,” I pet them until I hear someone clearing his throat. “Seriously Hiccup, I am starting to wonder if your head has become soft after living these years in this cabin,” I saw Jack sitting on my table and smirking.
I groaned, “How many times I have told you, use a chair.” Jack laughed when he stood up and sat on sofa. On my spot of course. “So squib, anything new?” He was looking at my latest invention. “Be careful! This baby here shoots fire bullets,” it was a thing muggles, people who don’t use magic, use for shooting. They call it a gun. I had done some minor alterations here and there. “Really now?” Jack’s voice raised and he pointed it at me. “It is backwards,” I smirked when the pipe was pointing at him. If he would shoot not his hair would burn.
He examined the gun and smirked. “Maybe I will stick to my magic then,” he handed the fire gun to me. He seemed anxious, his feet was tapping at the floor and his hands were on his pockets. “Where is my package?” He finally asked. For couple of nights he had come here, trying to fetch his packet. However the delivery has been late now. “Didn’t come today either,” I shrug my shoulders.
“What!” He exhaled. “But I need it!” He stood up and paced around the room. He stopped at the same moment when I had to turn around. Some cracking sound was coming from the box in the corner. “The eggs!” I yelled and ran to see what was going on.
The sight was the most perfect one ever. “They’re hatching!” I exhaled and leaned to box’s edge. Jack glanced over my shoulder. “Good job mommy Hiccup,” he punched me to my shoulder and I gave him death glare. “I am just looking after them!” I gasped. “Mommy,” Jack chuckled.
I rolled my eyes and then I watched the eggs again. One of the babies was two headed dragon, one was really chubby brown one and third one was white with some blue. “Aww.. So cute,” I patted the chubby one and then I noticed that the black egg had some trouble. I lifted the eggshell away and suddenly a black dragon came out. It was cute and black as night. “Night fury,” I whispered when I saw it’s stunning green eyes. It was a rare type of dragon and feared.
It jumped off from the egg and Jack startled while backing up. “Is that thing safe?” He exhaled when the baby dragon tried to spread its wings. “Yeah, I mean this buddy is so cute! Just look at him!” I watched the black dragon while smiling. “Sure,” Jack said sarcastically. The dragon licked me and I noticed that it was the only one born without teeth. “He is without teeth! Your name shall be Toothless,” I patted it’s head and it frowned.
I laughed to the little dragons who were having a wrestle match. “Nice creativity, Toothless,” Jack mocked at me when he was walking towards the door. “Let us hope that my package arrives by tomorrow, there is something really important I need,” Jack said while standing in the doorway.
I sighed, “Let’s hope so.” Suddenly Jack turned around and pointed towards me. “Your cabin is burning, I might hide them somewhere else if I were you,” he smirked and I felt confused. Then I started to sniff around. My eyes widened and I turned around. Two headed baby dragon was flaming up my curtains.
“No, bad dragon baby! Bad!” I exhaled when I ran to grab some water from the tab. “See you tomorrow, “ Jack yelled at the same moment when I threw water on my burning curtains. “Oh man,” I rubbed my neck and watched the smoke damage that was rising on the wall. “I really need to hide you guys somewhere. And get you something to eat,” I looked at the chubby brown dragon that was eating my apron right now. “Well, at least your growing won’t take long, my cute magical creatures,” I smiled while watching them. Then I sighed, “Which makes it even more crucial to find you a new spot to hide you in. I mean, you might be too heavy to carry tomorrow!”
POV Elsa
One month until Halloween ball. Some guys have been asking me to go for the whole day. I kindly refused or not so kindly at some points. I wouldn’t even go if it wouldn’t be have to because of the school. It is something every last year student has to do.
I feel exhausted and I lay on my back in my bed while Astrid and Ariel gossip about their dates. At least Ariel has a date, Eric from slytherin. Astrid however would like to go with Hiccup, she wants to learn more of his inventions and the magical creatures. Yeah right, she just would need to say that she has a crush on him.
When I opened the drawer from my bedside table I took out a single photo. My mama looked just like me and I honor her by braiding my hair on top of my head. She had brown hair while mine is platinum blonde. She is so gracious looking while she stands next to papa, a kind looking man who had mustache and loving eyes. Dad had lighter brown hair.
My heart is aching when the memory of them passing by fills my mind. It is like I am reliving the whole situation. Crucio. That word echoes on my mind and I try to swallow the lump from my throat. I am rolling on the bed constantly. After crying silently I fell asleep.
(Nightmare)
“Elsa take Anna and go to hide somewhere. Tell her you’re playing hide and seek,” papa tells me while he helds my hands. I nodded to him and watched him with sad eyes. He smiled and then he ran towards a scene that was happening in the forest. I look at the sky and I see the dark mark, a black skull with green glowing edges in there.
There is fighting, flashing lights when spells are being casted. Mama was in trouble and papa went to help. Anna was sleeping in our carriage, she didn’t wake up to the ruckus. Carriage drivers were already dead, they got direct hit from death spell. I felt so scared when I shook Anna awake.
Anna rubbed her eyes, “Where is mama and papa?” She whispered. “We are having a break, we could play hide and seek now,” I told her while forcing a smile. Our parents were trying to protect us now. We left the carriage and I found a small cave where we went into hiding.
Loud screams came from deeper in the forest, it was a woman. “Wait here Anna,” I whispered to her. My heart was pounding when I ran towards the voices, towards mama and papa. When I reached them I saw a horrible sight, my papas cape was all ripped out and bloody. My mama layed on the ground panting. Papa tried to protect mama but was thrown backwards when a man casted a curse towards him.
“Your turn Gothel,” the man grinned and Gothel smiled to him. She took out her wand and pointed at mama. “CRUCIO!” She yelled and mama started to scream in pain while her body twitched. It was the torturing spell that makes people lost their minds if it is done multiple times.
I felt furious and a burst of ice blasted towards Gothel who was thrown back because of the hit. I shivered when I saw papa turning around his eyes were terrified. He did a shield spell between the evil wizards and us. He came to me. “Elsa! You’re supposed to be hidden,” he panted. “I know papa but I don’t want to be alone, I am just eight years old!” I cried and papa patted my back.
“Soon I have to go back. I need you to remember this next thing I am going to say for rest of your life, no matter what. Alright?” Papa smiled and I nodded to him. “Conceal your powers of ice and snow, never let them show to other people. You-know-who wants you, stay hidden by hiding your powers,” after saying that he left. “Run Elsa,” he yelled and tried to free mama once again. I saw two flashes of green light and how my parents fell to ground without single trace of life in them. It was the most horrible curse of them all, death curse which cannot be undone.
I cried while running back to Anna. Papa had just made sure that no one followed. I was so afraid, so scared. My whole body quivered when I stepped inside the cave. Anna came to me, bursting out questions. “Where are mama and papa? Are we still playing ? Can you hide and I try to find you? Elsa?” She touched me and I shook her hand off. “Let me be Anna,” I hissed and she hugged me. I hated those evil wizards, they took my parents from me, from us. For my shock I realized that I lost control over my powers, being angry makes them come out without thinking.
“Anna! Go away from me!” I yelled in panic. It was too late, my powers of ice and snow hit her on full power. She was unconscious and her hair was turning white. “No, Anna!” I screamed. I cannot lose her too. I ran back to carriage to our emergency kit. I took out a potion called “Pabbie,” papa said that it can stop stuff from freezing if I accidentally freeze something. Maybe it works on Anna?
I poured the liquid on Anna’s mouth and her body felt warmer. I cried against her shoulder when she woke up. One strand of her strawberry blonde hair remained white as snow, reminding me of how I almost froze her to death.
(End of Nightmare)
I woke up from my nightmare. It was nightmare that actually was the reality. I look at the photo of my parents. Two great, wonderful wizards died because of me. I almost even killed my sister. I am the worst elemental wizard ever, more likely a monster would suit to me better. A creature who’s emotions get the best of her, causing havoc.
A/N
Here you go. Anna's and Elsa's dark past. Elsa has seen death.
