25: Be thankful I came here to see you.

"Elsa!" She craddled me in her arms and I could hear her faint sobs by my ear.

I was too shock.

My tears didn't even rolled down my face. My mind was cloudy and I couldn't think straight: what to do and what to say. "You've grown so much," She said in between sobs. "You're so beautiful."

Her hand was so gentle, stroking my head. It was cold. It's as if she was as nervous as I was to be facing your biological family. The king soon joined the reunion hug and still I could not move my mouth at all. I just looked at them, sternly. In my peripheral vision, Hiccup was smiling beside them.

I was surprise though. I'd expect myself to cry more than how it actually turned out. Although I outh them my comfort and so, reaching my hand, I stroked her back which she longed.

"It's been years, darling. Your sister is waiting for you in the palace. And so did we," She whispered when she broke the hug. She caressed my face and I forced out a smile of pity. "I know, this would be unusual for you," It actually is. "But I hope you could give us a chance?" She squeaked, staring straight into my soul. I switched glances with her two bright emerald eyes and slowly, I nodded.

She gave me a final hug. "That's enough, Elisana." The King whispered softly. "Let's give her some time for herself," He insisted making her nod. Her eyes didn't quit staring at me as they both exited the door.

TUD.

I was now staring at nowhere in particular, absorbing everything that just happened. A daughter finally met her biological parents who turns out to be monarchs. "See how they love you?" I didn't even notice Hic's presence. I looked at him and it took time before I nodded.

He sighed as he sat by my bed. "Not to worry. You'll soon get used to it and you'll love them." He said with a genuine smile. I smiled back, thankful to have him for comfort.

It's been a week now. One week of convincing my parents and my ever stubborn butler that I am now perfectly stable. I wanted to see the outside world, dammit. It's been years since the sun kissed my flesh and I'm getting too pale. But they said to stay a little longer to be sure.

For one week, they showed me nothing but kindness and formality. It's been honestly awkward since then. But we're making things right, building a new bond as a family.

My other mom...

She didn't call me and I didn't even call her as much as I want to. The fact that she might have heard the news about the incident bugs me that she didn't even came or call to check on me; to know if I was alright. She probably knows that I've already met my real parents and it was okay for her.

I didn't know.

But what ever it is, I don't feel like wanting to see her if she ever drops by.

It was also a week of watching TV. Not movies, cartoons, nor animes. This time, I watched the news. The incident brought such chaos to the media industry that they'd bring out bombs of information about what happened. We are talking about the King and Queen of Charlotte Amalie here. And people seemed to be interested about that. Specially since an ambush happened. Now, I was really thankful that I wasn't broadcasted. Or else the whole world will know.

One week...

One week and still, I haven't personally seen Jack. I wondered what his true condition is now? The memories and moments of him flashes to my mind again at the speed of light. It's like a of both sad and happy times.
