Snowflakes Fall and So Did I

Untitled Part 86~

~Elsa~

I hadn't meant to follow them.

Nor did I want to eavesdrop.

But I couldn't stop myself.

And I wish I had.

I wish I didn't give in to my curiosity.

I wish I had walked away or, better yet, had stayed downstairs.

I had only followed Hiccup and Astrid because I wanted to tell them what rooms I knew for sure my aunt, uncle, and the staff wouldn't look in. Imagine my surprise when I saw them heading in the direction of mine, Rapunzel's, and Anna's rooms. We all share the same wing and Hiccstrid had already known about Rapunzel and Flynn being in her room, so I thought it was weird for them to potentially interrupt anything by passing by. Me, personally, I would have gone somewhere completely secluded.

For a moment, I had genuinely thought they were going to use mine or Anna's room for some alone time. I thought that they probably thought it would be safe since Rapunzel and Flynn would be just across the hall. But, as much as I love them, I don't want them doing any funny business in my bed. Not even on my floor or bathroom or balcony or window seat or closet; not one inch of my room did I want them getting freaky in. They're probably not even active, but I didn't want to risk it. Even if they came to make out only, I'm sure some urges would have arisen.

I should have called out to them, and I nearly did at one point, but Astrid and Hiccup were zooming up the stairs so fast. If I had shouted, I might have alerted the staff or my aunt or uncle. I try not to be an enabler, but I didn't want anyone getting in trouble on this fun, romantic night. This night that Anna worked so hard on putting together. We all deserved a romantic moment alone with our significant other. Emphasis on 'romantic' because my moment with Jack wasn't really a romantic one at all. Just...normal conversation. Which I am thankful for, and I did still get butterflies in my belly, but that's because he's back to being my crush rather than boyfriend. I can't deny that I do wish there was more that we could do together tonight. Like dancing and holding hands and kissing and maybe...well...you know.

I wish that we were more.

And he's definitely tried. But just like how I feel this party was partially a distraction for Anna, dating me again feels like it will be a distraction for Jack. I know he wants to try going back to normal, but he doesn't remember what our normal was. His mind is stuck in the past. Deep down, he'd really just be dating me to make me feel better, and that's not what I want. I want him to be ready for him.

But Jack is seriously the least of my problems right now.

All I had wanted was to merely help Hiccstrid find a room where their special moment wouldn't be interrupted. Now, truthfully, I didn't want anyone getting intimate in any of the rooms here, but if it was going to happen, I at least wanted my two friends to know the safe zones. But safe is the last thing I feel right now. Not after what I just heard. I don't think I'll ever feel safe again actually. No where is safe for me. I'm being stalked. I'm in danger.

Danger.

I'm in danger.

I'd give anything to have stumbled upon something sexually scandalous. But instead, I stumbled into a scary and betraying discovery. Every word I had heard from Astrid, Flynn, and Rapunzel felt like a stab. A stab I just couldn't believe. One that I was too frozen to run away from.

I'm being stalked by Heather and Mr. Black and who knows who else and Astrid knew. Flynn is a criminal and he kidnapped Hans and Rapunzel knew. Hiccup is associated with Astrid and didn't seem all that surprised so, of course, he knew too. All four of them knew something crucial and they didn't tell me or the authorities. And honestly, I don't know who to be more upset with, but my anger and hurt stemmed more from the girls who I'm closer to.
