Snowflakes Fall and So Did I

~CHAPTER 25~

Elsa's POV

The Haunted Rooms that Mavis's father had put together took up the entire second floor of the hotel. The little area where the elevators and stairs are located is where the line is being held, which thankfully isn't long, and even better, there are two lines. One line is for the left corridor and the other line is for the right corridor.

My friends and I chose the right.

"Alright, newcomers," says the staff member in charge of the right line as my friends and I lined up with the others. "The rules are simple: No running, no violent behavior, no sticking gum on the walls, no touching props, and no getting ahead, which means that every room must be done in order. Every room will have a door connected to the next room that says 'Next'. Just follow the arrows."

I peer my eyes into the hallway and counted the rooms. "Wow," I say out loud, gaining someone's attention I'm sure. "That's a lot." 40 rooms altogether, but 20 rooms each on the left and right. God this hotel is huge. I can see my parents hosting banquets here.

"Does that make you nervous, Snowflake?" Asks Jack as he playfully nudges me, causing my heart to flutter at his nickname that I view as an endearment now. "I'll protect you during the entire thing if you're scared."

"Trust me," I say with the roll of my eyes and blush in my cheeks. "This is not scary."

My sister thought otherwise. "Uh...I don't know Elsa. Do you not hear those screams? They sound terrified."

Kristoff chuckles from in front of us, where he stood with my cousin and Flynn. "I thought you were all excited for this. What happened to my--I mean our brave Anna?"

"Nothing! I'm still brave. I'm just..." she grimaces when another scream pierces our ears and unknowingly grips my arm, "a little concerned is all." Kristoff chuckles again and it makes her glare. "It's not funny, Christopher ."

"It is to me, Annie, " Kristoff remarks, smirking triumphantly as my sister gasps.

Her jaw was left agape as she gazed at him with wide, shocked eyes, fully offended. "How dare you?!" She smacks his arm multiple times with her free hand and continues to smack him as she finishes speaking. "My. Name. Is. Not. Annie!"

And much to my confusion, Jack starts singing. "Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya, tomorrow! You're always a day away! Come on Flynn, I know you know this song."

Flynn shakes crosses his arms and shakes his head. "Uh-uh. Nope. I don't sing, and just because I'm an orphan does not mean I know every song to Annie."

"That's a damn lie. You totally sing when you're alone, especially Annie songs."

"No I don't!"

And thus, their bickering began.

The next few minutes of our wait consisted of Jack and Flynn lovingly insulting each other, with Kristoff occasionally agreeing with both of them, while the girls and I merely stood in silence as the scene unfolded. However, somewhere along the line, I get a text message from Rapunzel.

R: Where did you go? You were gone for quite a while. I would have texted, but I figured you were somewhere in the building having fun so I didn't wanna bother

I look up at her, but she kept her eyes on her screen, waiting for me to reply, which I quickly did, making sure my sister wasn't paying attention. Luckily, the boys had her full attention.
