The Lost Princess

Chapter 3

"Home!" I shouted. "Home? What do you mean home? I have perfectly good home that you took away from me!"

"Lisa," Elsa began, "we are not here to hurt you. We can explain everything, come with us upstairs."

"And we're not going to murder you," Anna explained. "I don't like guts."

Elsa gave Anna a look, which clearly meant "shut up."

"I don't want to go upstairs," I protested.

"Very well," Elsa responded, "we can explain in the dining room."

"With tea," Anna exclaimed!

Personally, I didn't want to leave the doors. But I finally gave in, and followed Anna and Elsa into the dining room.

The dining room was huge. The walls were painted a deep red. A few portraits lined the walls. One looked like Elsa and Anna as children. The table was long, probably as long as my room. It was made of a dark, almost black, wood. The chairs were of the same wood with a red cushion on the seat and a gold cushion on the back. The room looked very expensive.

Elsa took the seat at the head of the table. Anna sat down next to her. I sat on the other side of Elsa. I tried to remember the way to the door, just incase things turned sour.

"I don't think we've had a formal introduction yet," Anna began. "I'm Princess Anna of Arendelle. That's Queen Elsa of Arendelle, and you're Princess Lisa of Arendelle!"

"Princess?" I choked. "I-I'm not a princess."

"Oh sure you are! You're my sister!"

"I am definitely not your sister!"

"Calm down!" Elsa said. "While Anna may be nuts, what she says is true."

"Excuse me?" I asked, thinking maybe I had heard wrong.

"You are our sister, Princess Lisa of Arendelle."

"No, not true."

"Yes. When you were born I was hidden in my room, because it was too dangerous to see Anna with my powers. My parents were stuck with Anna, as she was already five years old."

"Mom and Dad weren't 'stuck with me'!" Anna protested. "They thought I was the best!"

"Anyways," Elsa continued, "Mom and Dad could easily find a place for you as you were a baby. They sent you to the United States, where you would be safe from me. It took a while to find out where you were, but we finally found you."

I wasn't about to believe any of this nonsense. Wouldn't Mom have told me if I was adopted?

"How do you know I am your sister?" I stammered." She could be literally anyone!"

"Well," Elsa started, "your name is Lisa."

"Check!" Anna exclaimed.

"You're 13."

"Check!"

"You have the same blue eyes and brown hair."

"Check!"

"You lived in the United States."

"Check!"

"Whoa, whoa, slow down," I said. "There could be a million other girls named Lisa, are 13, have blue eyes and brown hair, that live in the US! How do you know I'm the one?"

"Because," said Elsa, "your locket."

I looked down on my neck. I was wearing a golden, heart-shaped locket, with the same floral-like design on it. I don't know why but I never take it off. It just has some sort of emotional connection to me. I wouldn't feel whole without it.

"What about it?" I snapped.

"Every child has one," Elsa said.

She pulled out a locket, just like mine, from her dress. Anna did the same. Funny that I didn't notice it before.

They both proceeded to open the lockets, revealing two baby pictures. They looked to me, waiting for me to do the same.

I don't know why but I always found it sort of embarrassing to show off my baby pictures. So, I wasn't too keen on showing them to two random people I just met.

They looked at me with anticipation, so I went ahead and opened the locket, revealing two baby pictures also.

"See," said Anna, "you are our sister. You are the lost princess of Arendelle."
