Anna

Timothy stared down at me, face serious. I couldn't move from the shock of the news he just gave me.

"Eh?!"

He sighed and pulled me by the arm into his house. Karen and Serena were in there, but he told them to leave us alone. They obeyed and once they disappeared from the house, Timothy started cleaning his face from the blood.

I looked around. The house was dark but lit by candles everywhere. There wasn't much in here. Just three beds which had name tags on them.

One said Timothy and beside that said Hanna, indicating his mother probably. On the other side of the house was Karen and Serena's bed.

I pointed to it. "Karen and Serena share the same bed?" But when I turned around towards Timothy, he was taking off his shirt.

I yelped from the shock as he turned towards me, face clean from blood.

He had dark brown hair, the colour of coffee and jade green eyes. He also had freckles. My mouth was closed shut tight and my face was turning a rose red.

He didn't really get the idea, so just answered my question. "Their together. Married."

At that my embarrassing face turned back to normal. "Oh, that's why they were always so close." I gave a small laugh. "That's cute."

Timothy smiled and started washing his arms and chest from the blood.

I tried to stop staring. God, I was married! With a five year old daughter, and another one on the way!

"Um, so you and Elsa used to be best friends huh? Why did you stop?"

"Because your parents locked both you and her away in the castle because of her ice powers. And also because of what she did to you."

I froze. What she did to me?

I turned to look at Timothy, who started taking off his pants. I yelped again and turned fully the other way as he started changing from the bloody clothes into clean ones.

"What do you mean what Elsa did to me?"

I couldn't see him as he talked. "Yeah, she told me you wouldn't remember. If your actually going to see her, ask her that yourself. I would rather her tell you what happened than me. All I really know is that she gave you that platinum blonde streak you used to have."

I touched my strand of hair, where the streak used to be. "Elsa gave me it?"

Timothy was right, I couldn't remember. I always thought I was born with it. "T-that was the reason why mom and dad locked Elsa and me away?"

"Actually, you could of left at anytime if you wanted, and you can turn around now Anna."

I did and saw him dressed in basically what he had been wearing before, just cleaner.

He wore the kind if same pants as me along with the boots though they were a dark brown. His shirt was covered by kind of the same jacket I wore, though, dark brown.

"What do you mean I could of left?"

He shrugged. "I'm pretty sure your parents never meant to lock you in, only Elsa."

I shook my head, and turned my full body towards him. "I wouldn't leave Elsa alone. It didn't seem right. And it still doesn't."

Timothy watched me with wondering eyes. "Understood. One night, Elsa and your parents were returning to the castle. You were in your mother's arms, with the platinum streak. That night I couldn't sleep and when I saw Elsa, I snuck out of here and went up to her."

He sat down on his bed, and I sat down on his mother's. I listened to his story.

"I waited until her parents were in when I pulled her aside. I had asked her what had happened. But she just told me she had hurt you with her powers and that she wasn't going to go outside the palace for awhile. I was worried but she told me I would see her soon, and hen she went inside. After that, I never saw her again. Until, thirteen years later. We were both twenty-one, and it was her coronation.

"Of course, me not being royal I couldn't go in, but I was in the crowd with my mother and Karen and Serena when she burst out of the doors of the palace, looking terrified. Though I wasn't for sure it was her, I hadn't seen her in forever. Everyone was clapping for her but, I saw she only had one glove and I knew it was her and that something had happened with her powers.

"That's when everything had gone out of control and everyone found out about her powers. She ran and I wanted to go after her, but then I saw you."

I sat there, infested in this story of mine and Elsa's past.

"I knew it was you the moment I saw that streak of platinum blonde. You ran after her and then came back, but she wasn't with you."

He stopped there, not wanting to go back in the past. He sighed, shrugging his shoulders. "That's it."

He was about to get up when I suddenly grasped his knee making him sit back down. "If your her best friend, why did she threaten you?"

His eyes looked sad when I said that. "She didn't hurt me, but she hadn't remembered my name either. I mean why would she? She hasn't seen me in, eighteen years. I'm not surprised she doesn't remember me. Yes we were best friends but, as time passes people forget other people. It's how the world works."

I shook my head, not understanding. I knew what Timothy was saying but, how did she not remember his name?

I was about to ask him, when I heard Kristoff talking with Karen and Serena outside. I pointed towards the door. "That's my cue. Thank you Timothy, for telling me all this. I promise when I get to Elsa, I'll ask her about you."

He smiled at the thought and got up the same time as me. As I made my way to the door, Timothy called towards me. I looked back, seeing him standing a few paces away. "Remember Anna, ask Elsa about the incident. Maybe you'll remember."

I smiled at him and gave a light nod, leaving Timothy behind, staring after me as I left to go see Elsa.

The Snow Queen, my older sister and Timothy's best friend.
