Anna was walking through the halls of the castle. It had been almost a week since she had been abducted by Hans, and she was up and about, trying to ignore the fact that she was blind in one eye temporarily. It was a bit difficult, but she swore she had the hang of it now. All she had to do was find Elsa, who was somewhere in the castle. Anna assumed she was in her study. "Elsa!" She called, turning the corner and bumping into one of the servants, who was carrying what was probably Elsa's lunch.
"Oops..." Anna said, struggling to her feet, turning her head so she could use her good eye. "I'm so sorry."
"It's alright," the servant replied, trying to clean up the mess. "It was my fault..."
"What's going on out here?" A new voice asked. Anna turned to see it was Elsa coming into the hall. "Are you both okay?" She asked, running to her sister.
"Fine," Anna said, shifting her weight uncomfortably.
"It was my fault, your Majesty," the servant replied, bowing.
"It's alright, Ted," Elsa replied with a soft smile, although she gave Anna a look that said that they were going to talk as soon as they were alone. "Accidents happen."
"I will bring you another one right away," Ted replied, bowing and swiftly walking back towards the kitchen.
"It was my fault," Anna said softly, looking down at her hands. "I wasn't watching where I was going."
"You're still getting used to it," Elsa said, wrapping her arm around Anna's shoulders comfortingly. "Just be a bit more careful, okay?"
"I will," Anna said, although by the tone of her voice, Elsa knew it was going to bother her. Anna started walking away. That's all that had been happening all week. Accident after accident. Usually, she would just be able to brush it off; but, she was at the height of accidents since she was a child. Elsa had done her best to keep Anna from feeling depressed about it, but it was still nerve wracking.
She walked down the hall and headed for the stable. As she turned another corner, she nearly bumped into someone else. "Sorry," a female voice said.
Anna looked to see it was the girl who had helped Elsa rescue her. "It's okay..." Anna replied. "It's my fault, I wasn't watching where I was going."
"Still getting used to it?" Leila asked.
"It's that obvious?" Anna asked. She hadn't seen Leila in over a week, so she wasn't sure how she knew.
"A bit," Leila replied. "Don't worry about it, though. You'll get the hang of it."
"That's what everyone keeps telling me," Anna sighed. "Especially Elsa. She's done her best to keep from treating me like a helpless child; but, I can tell she wants to."
"Get used to it," Leila replied, putting a comforting hand on Anna's shoulder. "Older siblings are like that. They just want what's best for you- even if you hate it when they do it."
"Sounds like you have experience," Anna replied.
"I do," Leila replied, nodding before changing the subject. "Anyway, I'm looking for your sister. Do you know where she is?"
"Yeah," Anna replied. "She's in her study. Not sure if she's busy or not."
"That's fine," Leila replied, heading off in the direction of the castle. "Just need to inform her that I'm supposed to get in contact with my source soon. Unfortunately we've had to be gone to our own kingdoms for personal reasons. And that Hans is no longer hiding in the Southern Mountains."
"Where is he?" Anna asked. If he was in Arendelle, he was going to get a beating for what he did to her.
"I don't know," Leila replied. "He's nowhere in Arendelle- the dragons confirmed that; and, they're on high alert in the territory they control. If there's any sign of him, I'll be the first to know."
