Guardian of the Frost

25: Ace Of Clovers

ELSA'S POV

"So what'll it be?"  He teased again but I was already trembling as I crushed my gloves together. Great, first day of school, first day getting bullied. And what's worse? It's by a boy. A BOY!

"I..I have to go.." I stammer as I take a step back but he just giggles. Weirdly enough, it sounds a bit...weird.

"You're...funny." He says between silent giggles and I scoff. The last thing I want is to entertain this lowlife. I take a step more and look towards Anna and Zel who are still talking busily at the other side of the room. Hey Anna, you can interrupt now.

"You really want to spit, don't you?"

"What- excuse me?!"  I quickly turn to the boy but only to find that his face is so close. My heart skips a beat as I realize that he's barely 2 inches away from me. I quickly pull away and cover my face.
 Then he starts laughing harder.

"You're blushing!! Hahaha! You like me!" He laughed but I was already furious.

"HEY! WHY WOULD I EVER LIKE A STINKY BOY LIKE YOU?!" I screamed out but then...

"Elsa? You alright?" Anna looks at me, weirdly. So does Zel and I try to calm down.

"Yeah. I was just talking to..." I pointed to the boy but, he was gone. "Wait, where'd that guy go?" I began to move the curtains but to no avail. Zel starts to giggle sweetly and Anna sighs.

"You seem so passionate on hating men, Elsa." Zel remarks as she walks ahead. I lower my head and sigh. Anna, walks past me and I can read her expression as that of disappointment. We continue on with the tour but I can't help but think of that guy. Whoever you are, I am so getting back at you.

"Hey, what's this room? It's big and roomy and has four funny looking huge chairs." Anna asks enthusiastically as her head pokes out from a very old looking pair of doors. For a moment I see Zel's face panicking, but then, it vanishes and she happily joins in on Anna.

"Congrats Anna, you just found the Throne Room." She sings in a happy tune.

"The Throne Room?" I mutter back quietly. So this place really was an old castle. As I slowly walk into the room, an eerie feeling mixes up within me. This place...why does it...look like...

"You alright Elsa?" Zel asks as she and Anna stand at the middle of the room. I shake my head and try to manage a smile.

"I...ugh...got dizzy...I'll just wait out here." I quickly slip outside the door and slide down. I take a look at my gloves and try to fight back the tears.

Out of all the places it would remind me of, why is it that it looks exactly like his office?

ANNA'S POV

"You sure she's alright?"  Zel asks in concern but I just chuckle.

"That's Elsa for you, strong face but a frail body. She easily gets dizzy." I assure her cause I've seen Elsa getting headaches all the time. I'm not so sure if it's all made-up to excuse herself or really  real, but I don't really care because if you keep on hearing the same thing over and over again, you end up accepting things as they really are. "Anyway, mind telling me why there's such a place as this? I mean, I know that it's an old castle but who sits on those chairs anyway?"
