Disney Highschool

Chapter 15

Merida knocked the back of the closet. Firm wood. She turned to Anna. "There's nothing there kiddo." she said simply. Anna gaped. "But it was there! I promise!" Flynn sighed. "Anna, maybe that's enough.." he suggested. "No! It was there!" she shouted. Tears began welling up in Anna's eyes. Elsa put a hand on her shoulder.  Anna looked up at her. "You believe me, don't you?" she asked. 

Elsa paused and thought. "I believe that you believe you saw something." she gave her little sister an encouraging smile, but Anna jerked away. 

"None of you believe me! Don't pretend!!" she screamed, the tears spilling uncontrollably. Everyone turned to go, but Elsa remained. She sighed. "Flynn's right, Anna. That's enough." And with that, she left the Spare room, leaving Anna alone. 

That night, Anna couldn't sleep. She couldn't stop thinking about Mr. Thumnus. He had been so kind, helping 

Soon, Anna's curiosity got the better of her. She slowly and quietly jumped out of bed, tip toeing to the spare room with the wardrobe.

A small lit candle lighted her way through the halls of the great mansion. When she came to the door of the wardrobe in the spare room, she prayed silently inside that the world was still there. She opened the door to feel a gust of cold wind. The candle blew out and Anna smiled happily. She lifted her nightgown to her knees and stepped into the wardrobe.

Kristoff awoke with a start. He turned to face Anna's bed and noticed that she was missing. He looked around and saw everyone else sleeping in their beds. He crawled out of his warm bed and flung on a blue robe. Where would she be? he though. Then it came to him. The wardrobe. 

He stepped through the quiet hallways and entered the spare room. "Anna? You in here?" he whispered. No response. He walked to the wardrobe and slowly creaked open the door. A gust of icy wind greeted him instantly and he was taken aback. What the hell was that??

Kristoff took one last look at the spare room before he entered the frigid wardrobe. 

"Anna?" he whispered. No response. "C'mon Anna this isn't funny.." Still nothing.

He reached out, expecting to feel the back of the closet, but his hand caressed nothing but air. He walked forward, still waiting to feel the back, but it never came. Soon, a cold breeze rustled his blonde hair. Then he felt something that made chills go up his spine. A pine branch... and snow...

He turned to see an open clearing within the trees where a tall lamppost stood idly lighting up the area.

Anna was right... she was telling the truth... The fact couldn't wrap itself around Kristoff's mind.

He clutched his shoulders, trying to keep warm from the cold.

"Anna!" he shouted into the woods. He waited, but nothing responded. Snow speckled his face and stuck to his eyelashes. 

Suddenly, he heard the faint sounds of bells. Not like big bells, but the little tinkle of Christmas bells he would hear at his home.

He waited, looking in the direction of the bells. Then came the sound of hoof beats. Then the sound of a man's voice. Or maybe it wasn't a man. This voice was high and shrill, but still took on the tone of a man.

Soon saw a duo of white caribou running in his direction. Followed by another two.. and another two.. then a white sled with a small man shouting and beckoning the caribou faster.

Kristoff jumped out of the way before the sled collided with him. He flipped over in the snow to see the sled coming to a halt 10 meters from where he lay. 

The sled went silent for a moment, then the small man jumped down from the tall platform. This little man had a long grey beard and a red tuque on. When Kristoff saw him, he noticed the looked upon his face. It was terrifying. Even for the little man.

When the little man saw Kristoff, he pulled a blade from his jacket and ran towards Kristoff. 

"Let me go!" shouted Kristoff to the little man who had now jumped upon his chest and pressed the blade near his throat.

A voice sounded from the sled. "What is it now, Nikabrick?" 

"Make him let me go! I didn't do anything wrong!"

The little man bared his blade closer to Kristoff's neck, when the figure from the sled stepped down. 

A tall woman in a white gown and ice crown held her hand up. "Wait." she said. The small man immedialy stopped and got up.

"What is your name, Son of Adam?" she asked. Kristoff was puzzled. Son of Adam? 

"Umm.. My name is Kristoff."

"And how did you come to my kingdom?" she asked. 

"I was following my friend. She came here and-" Kristoff was cut off.

"A friend? How many more are there of you?" the tall woman prodded him with another question.

"Umm.. Well there Flynn, Rapunzel, Elsa, Jack, Anna, Merida, Hiccup and me, so eight of us. Including me.." he said cautiously. The woman nodded.

"I see. And where is your friend now?" 

"I'm not sure. I think she said something about a Mr. Thumnus.. I think.." 

"The fawn?" 

"Yes, ma'am.."

The woman nodded again, unhappily it seemed. Then her aura suddenly shifted. She beamed happily and beckoned Kristoff to the sled. 

"Come, Kristoff. You must be cold."

Kristoff climbed onto the sled, sitting next to the woman.

"You must be hungry." she said. She reached into a pocket of her thick white coat and pulled a small vial, then tipped it over the edge of the sled and a drop landed in the snow. 

A small silver box formed from the frozen crystals, and the small man handed it to Kristoff.

"Here you are, sire.." he said smugly.

Kristoff opened the silver box to find his favorite treat; Turkish delight. How did she do that??

"You see those mountains there, boy?" she pointed towards two mountains off in the distance. 

"My house is right in the middle of it. You would love it. It has halls simply stuffed with Turkish delight."

"Couldn't I have some more now?" he asked timidly.

"No!" the woman said aggressively. Then her face softened. "Don't want to spoil your appetitie.." she recovered. 

"Well, I think I should be getting back. Everyone will probably be wondering where I am.." Kristoff climbed off the sled.

"Come visit me soon, Kristoff." the woman smiled warmly.

And with that, she rode off into the winter snow.

Kristoff stared around him, unsure of where to go.

"Kristoff?" asked a voice. Anna peered around a tree, surprised to see her friend. "What are you doing here??" 

"I-I followed you in here." Anna smiled. "Oh Kristoff, you made it too! I'm so glad! Oh, but you must meet Mr.Thumnus! The witch hasn't found out that he helped me!"

Kristoff blood ran cold. "The witch?" Anna scoffed.

"The white witch. She calls herself the queen of Narnia, but she really isn't. Is something the matter?"

"Well what do you expect? It's freezing! How do we get out of here?"

Anna grabbed his hand and pulled him into the trees where the exit back to the wardrobe was.
