Time passed quickly while I was at the hospital.

Hiccup and I hung out a lot, I saw Toothless too. We took walks sometimes or played pranks on the staff; making them think they're insane.

I went to therapy as well, wasn't bad.

After a month, the time came and I was released to go home.

My "Mom" picked me up and the Doctor left us with the words, "She's really lucky to be released this early. Most patients with physical accidents like yours have a low chance of recovery-- even survival at that."

Everyone who talks about this situation keeps scaring me more and more. What did I do?

I feel bad though. I feel bad for stripping the previous Elsa from her life. It's like I've replaced her and her parents and sister won't see her again.

What if they don't like me? What if I don't meet up to their standards? And Hiccup too, I feel bad for leaving him alone.

I hope he gets better soon.

"We're here!" A cherry voice snapped back into reality.

It seems that while I was pondering, we've already reached the house.

"Mom", feels weird calling her that; quickly hopped out of the car and rushed to my side to open my door before I could even do so.

I thanked her and pulled myself out.

Standing up, I admired the house.

A nice family home with a cute porch. They're lucky.

The wind was mild as well today. Not too strong not too weak, just right. I felt it running against my cheeks, blowing my hair in a soft motion. My dress as well.

Before I could realize it, I was pulled into a sudden embrace. "I'm so glad you're home now my dear." She whispered softly.

This guilty feeling came back and punched me in my gut. I pushed the painful urge not to bawl. "Th-Thank you."

As we got to the front door, Mom fumbled around in her pockets, digging for her keys most likely.

She finally pulled it out and inserted it into the knob. As she twisted and pushed the door open, an aromatic smell invaded my nostrils.

"We're home!" Mom dropped her keys in some bin.

I looked at our surroundings. We were at the entrance. A coat rack to the right and a shoe rack under that. A little step in front of us; slippers behind them.

THUMP THUMP THUMP!

Footsteps came rushing down the stairs hurriedly. The person tripped on the last step and fell.

It was a girl who looked not much younger than me. She had bright strawberry blonde hair into a high ponytail. Rosy, freckled cheeks, and turquoise eyes just like mine.

She hopped up, rubbing her bottom. "Ouch ouch."
Her mood quickly changed as she laid eyes on me. She dashed up to me, throwing herself at me in the process.

"Elsa!" She sobbed dryly, tightening her grip. "I-I missed you so much!"

I guess she was my sister Anna.

All I could do was pat her back.

I looked to my left to see Mom smiling, one hand on her cheek; on the verge of tears.

Anna pulled away, her grip on my arms still. "You've changed so much!" She looked at my back. "Your posture got better!"

She moved her face closer, examining my eyes. "Your eyes got brighter!" Anna started tugging on my cheeks. "Your skin got brighter!"

She hopped back, chin in hand. "Hmm..." Her eyes grew wider as a smile came to her lips.

"Els, are you pregnant?!" She squealed.

"What?!" Mom and I questioned in unison.

"Hell no!" I shook my head.

Anna simply giggled. "Of course I'm just kidding! You really have changed!"

"Don't go scaring us like that, she just came from the hospital. Be nice please." Mom sighed.

"Babe go show Els her room, I'm going to start preparing lunch now." She grinned at me. "I'm making your favorite! Tortellini bacon broccoli salad!"

I forced a smile back. "Yum."

Anna grabbed my hand, pulling me up the stairs. "C'mon Els! We have so much to catch up on."

Man, this girl is really lucky. A nice home, an amazing family. But what does the future bring?

Upstairs had four doors. Our rooms and the bathrooms I'm guessing. There seemed to be another floor; most likely the master bedroom for our parents.

Anne led me to a door with Elsa in cursive with one simple snowflake next to it.

"Well? The hell are you waiting for? Open it." A change in her tone of speaking, from earlier of course.

Shocked, I looked at her to make sure it was the same person. Anna looked at me and smiled sweetly.

Maybe I was mistaken. Maybe I took that the wrong way.

I grabbed hold of the doorknob, wincing at how cold and untouched it was. Pushing it open, I walked past Anna.

"Slow ass fucking retard."

Wait, wait, wait, what?

I spun on my heels only to find Anna. But this time, her sweet toothy grin turned into a dark menacing smile.

"Excuse me?" I sputtered.

"What are you? Fucking deaf? You heard me dumbass."

My face had my emotions on it. Lost and offended.

She sighed. "Man. I can't believe I have to go to school with a retard like you again. I'd rather be dead." She looked up at me, her eyes filled with darkness and as she grinned. "Actually, you should rather be dead."

Okay, that crossed a line; crossed it way too far. I stepped in front of her; making sure not to break eye contact.

"Alright, so I'm not sure how you treated me back then, but you're not going to talk to me that way. Alrighty?"

She opened her eyes widely and snickered. "Oh! My knees are shaking!" She laughed some more.

"Alright alright. Damn Elsa! You really have changed, because the old you wouldn't even dare open her puny little mouth to speak to me like that, you'd be on your knees begging me to be nice to help you."

Tilting my head, I smiled that same sweet smile she gave me. "Get used to it sweetie, I'm not going to beg, even if my life depends on it."

She mocked me by smiling back. "Wait till school comes around, you'll love it." She spat before walking away sassily.

Somehow, I don't think she meant that at all.

Man, my heart can't take this. I thought she was a sweet little sister.

Guess Elsa really wasn't lucky after all, now I'm very curious.
