Chapter 7

Elsa POV

We're all sprawled out on the couches, watching The Princess Bride. But this idea- I don't care how stupid it is. It just might work, and I have to know. Hopefully they all do too.

"Belle, you know computers, right?" I ask tentatively, gnawing at my lip.

"Yeah, why?"

"Well..." I hesitate, biting my lip again. By the time this is all over it's gonna just be a strip of torn skin, "Iwantyoutohackintoourparentacompanytoseeiftheywereright!" I blurt out, and the girls just give me a confused look.

"If you want me to hack our parents company, I'll try. They've been acting... odd. Odder than usual, at least," She says calmly, brushing back a strand of hair and pulling her hair into a tight ponytail to keep it out of her face, "Admittedly, I've been curious too. Dad was acting... odd. Odder then usual, you know what I mean." She says with a bit of a snap at Mulan's scoff. After all, odd is normal for her dad. He is quite eccentric.

"Well, if we're gonna do this then lets go already!" Mulan said, a demonic grin on her face.

Everyone else follows Mulan quickly, but I don't. This was all my idea in the first place, but I hqve to admit that if this is all true, then my parents could be murderers. If it's all a lie... Anna. Mulan. Belle. Rapunzel. What will happen to all of us? Especially if they are killers. Whose to say that, well, I don't want to even contemplate the thought.

Then I choose, and in choosing I follow them.

Belle POV

Mulan is the first to the study and tries the door, which is locked.

"I-I'm not so sure about this. It's not like Anna and I have been welcomed un here or anything," Elsa comments, voice slightly shaking. I smile at her slightly, offering some comfort. This may be her idea, but it's going to be hard for us all.

"Let me try something," Rapunzel pipes up after a second, a mischievous grin on her face. She takes a bobby pin from her hair and stuffs it in the lock. I almost laugh at how ridiculous it looks, but we still wait. And wait. And wait. And wait. She doesn't manage to get it open, but does manage to break the bobby pin in half.

"Dang it." She frowns, before trying the door half-heartedly. Hint; it doesn't open.

"Come on. Let's go make hot chocolate," Elsa suggests, face majorly conflicted.

"Chocolate!" Anna shouts, bolting to the kitchen in the basement. The rest hurry after her. Anna, alone, with chocolate can never end well. Except, rather then following, I stare at the door, wondering what could lay behind it; something to make us regret this all or something that could make it all worthwhile. After that moments hesitation, though, I follow after everyone else.

Mulan POV

We all get to the kitchen pretty fast, but Belle gets there only after Anna's covered herself in chocolate and sugar. I shoot her a confused look, and she replies with only a shake of her head, and I get it immediately, Not right now.

"How did this happen?" Belle's confusion is evident in her voice, and I laugh.

🌸🌸🌸"I have no idea." Rapunzel says, and her hair is brown. Covered completely in cocoa powder. It doesn't look bad, just completely different.

"It looks like a bomb went off!" I say, laughing. The bell then rings and we all fall silent and look at the clock. Midnight. Who comes anywhere this late in the day?

Jack POV

I pound at the doorbell, ringing it over and over.

"They've gotten the idea, Jack. Calm down." Adam says softly, but I just shake my head. They have to come. They have to. I look back and Shang is keeping watch. He shoots me a thumbs up and I nod, stomach in knots. I hit the button again and the door is finally opened.

"What." Elsa snaps crossly, eyes then widening.

"Hi," I say quietly, " we need your help."

"My help-?"

"Please. Just- just please let us in. We need your help." I say, swallowing my pride.

She opens the door and we all bolt in and she then shuts the door, "What is going on?"

We all go into the kitchen and I quickly explain the person following us.

"How do you not know who it is?" Elsa asks, incredulously.

"We just don't." I say, shrugging.

"Remember about our parents?" Belle says from where she sits next to Adam.

"Yeah, what about them?" I ask.

"Do any of you know how to pick locks?" Belle asks, not before shooting Elsa a sympathetic and apologetic look.

"Yeah, we all do." I say, shrugging.

"No we don't," Shang says, shaking his head, only Mr. Smolder over there does."

"Don't disrespect the smolder!"

Rapunzel POV

This is ridiculous.

After the mention of 'The Smolder' Flynn had to show it to us and there was a resounding response of laughter. It was so ridiculous! But, admittedly, kind of cute. In a weird, goofy kind of way. But still. Kinda cute.

After the numerous display, we all ushered him to my aunt and uncles study and he picked the lock. In thirty seconds.

"Slow Fitzherbert. So slow." Jack says with a smirk.

"Well, someone stuck a bobby pin in there Frosty." Flynn retorted. His last name is Fitzherbert?

"Fitzherbert?" I say, with a snort of laughter.

"Shut up." He says, before opening the door, "Ladies first." He adds, putting on a smirk that's a whole lot more attractive than the smolder.

Wait, what?

Belle hurries in and stops. We all stop behind her. This is ridiculously extravagant. There's some sort of globe and staff on a table beneath what looks like a coronation portrait, a portrait of people that look like royalty and everything is covered in velvet and or lined in gold. The desk is a block of marble covered with an engraved slab of wood lined with gold. The computer is out of place, a plain really modern desktop and new Mac computer. This looks ridiculous. I knew that my family was rich, but... This looks like royalty level rich. As in, the royalty appearing people in the images look like my aunt and uncle. Exactly like them.

"Did you... Know about this?" I say, turning to ask Elsa.

"I had no idea." She says, eyes widened in shock.

"So... Does this mean..."

"That your royalty?" Jack asks incredulously, and he looks crestfallen too. I hold in a squeal and rather turn to Elsa.

"I... I think that WE both might be royalty." Elsa says in a soft voice.

AN: thank you for reading!!! Vote and commenttttt. ESPECIALLY COMMENTING! I want to hear your opinions!

Updated AN: I dunno if you liked the old one, but I looked at it and I wrote this not even a year ago, but man. The original 'cliffhanger' is so, so, so, eeee now. Why, me? Why do you do this? Actually, I think i had some sort of plan. Well, I don't remember that so lets not use it... even though it feels cool. Anyways, what it says in the original, I guess.
