Anna watched her unknowingly sister who was staring happily into the sunset. She never felt so… Proud. She knew that this strange feeling wasn't just a 'Normal Happy' sentiment. No; it was a new sensational feeling. Why was her heart racing in delight? She saw many of her other friends' joyful moment and she always felt glad for them. But this?... This was a feeling beyond glad. Why was specifically Elsa's happy moment made her that happy? She felt as if the more Elsa was happy the more she became ecstatic, and that it wasn't in her control to choose this emotion. She just welcomed the feeling without dwelling about the idea.
"Anna," Rapunzel interrupted Anna's thoughts with a gentle, low voice. "I think if you keep crying you'll end up dry." She joked.
Anna snapped out of her thoughts and quickly wiped her tears off her cheeks before she chuckled a bit, "I'm sorry…" She sniffled, "I was just… Lost in thoughts." She chuckled again, "Damn… I never was that emotional. It's like I'm a total different person." She deadpanned.
Rapunzel laughed a bit, "Well, let's thank Elsa for that." She said while she pointed at Elsa who was still enjoying her moment.
"Yeah…" Anna replied while she smiled at Elsa fondly.
"Anna? Why are you crying?" Zoey asked innocently as she squeezed her hug tighter on Anna's waist.
Anna and Rapunzel looked down at the little girl with a smile. "Because I'm happy, sweety." Anna replied while she stroke Zoey's head. "I'm really, really happy."
Zoey squeezed her cheek more on Anna's waist and looked at Elsa happily. "I'm really happy too."
Anna and Rapunzel's smile grew at the little girl proudly. Looks like she's already fond of Elsa. Anna thought.
Meanwhile…
Elsa was staring at the sunset calmly. She just couldn't get enough of it. A sense of a warm feeling crept around her when she remembered who brought her that joy. She knew they were staring at her, but she didn't want to turn and look at them. No one ever did something good to her. Ever. They fed her, they treated her the most kindly and nicely, they healed her, helped her ease her pain and the weirdest thing was… They saved her from that hell. Why would they do that? Why would they risk their lives to do such a thing? She thought to herself. Since the moment she woke up, they never laid a hand on her roughly or hit her or hurt her for that matter. She bit her lip in worry. She had no idea how to thank them. Heck, she had no idea if she could still fully trust them. No… No, they wanna hurt me. They are just acting! She thought afraid. Aren't they? She thought again. It's been only a day. Yet that day was her first painless day since forever. And she would cherish it until her last breath. But the day have ended. And her worry was back. What would they do to me now? Would they… throw me back? She thought worriedly. Hurt me for fun like Mad did? Hurt me if they got angry at me like Papa? No… No they are nice, they are nice!... They didn't hurt me. All what they did so far was being kind, right? She sighed in frustration since she didn't know if she could trust them. Her heart was telling her to, but her mind had other ideas. She suddenly felt a bit of dizziness and pain in her stomach, so she winced and hissed in discomfort before she hunched a bit and squeezed her wound with her arm so she could forget about the stinging.
Anna quickly noticed that Elsa was swaying a bit, so she ran to her. "Hey…" She said and unconsciously placed a worried hand on Elsa's shoulder while the other was underneath Elsa's elbow so she could steady her. "I think that's enough for today. You need to rest." She said with a concerned tone.
Elsa tensed a bit but quickly relaxed as she saw Anna's honest smile and felt the soothing warmth from her gentle hands seeped through her cold shoulder and elbow. She stared at Anna questionably. Why are you doing this? Why are you helping me? I don't understand… Why would someone help me?!... Of all the people… Me?! She thought instead of asking.
