The Urban Princesses: Elsa & Anna

Chapter 8

Elsa's POV

I kept running, I had to leave, forever.

I couldn't change, I would never change. If I kept this up, somebody could get seriously hurt. And having the stress of being mayor of the most populated city in America doesn't help.

I didn't realize that by now, I was far away from the city. I hadn't gotten tired yet either, which is odd for a girl who hadn't gotten any exercise in a week. It must've been the rage and fear that powered my run.

I eventually got tired and rested on a nearby tree.

I slid down the hard wood and cried into my hands. The wind blew at my stark blond hair.

Nobody was out here, nobody I could hurt.

I needed to let it all go. Let go the anger, the fear, the misery.

I stood up and screamed, I screamed as loud as I could. Nobody could hear me out here.

I grabbed a large stick and smacked it against the tree I was sitting on.

It snapped into two and the half I wasn't holding onto banged to the ground.

I breathed heavily and closed my eyes.

It felt good. Letting out all of my anger from the years, all of the fear that I would hurt somebody. Not anymore. Now I could be free to do whatever I want, and not hurt anyone.

I was going to live here. Forever. I don't care if I had to be hungry, I could be free. I wouldn't have to please anyone. I could just be me and let it go.

I made a small hut with branches and vines. I had gone to a wilderness survival summer camp and knew how to survive with Mother Nature's resources.

I made a fire and rested by the dancing flames.

I was like fire. Free and loose, mighty and great, but also harsh and damaging.

A small white rabbit with a carrot in his mouth hopped next to me.

"Hey little guy."

It didn't run away.

"Can you do something for me?" I left quite abruptly and I didn't want Anna to be worried. "Find Anna and tell her I'm ok."

It hopped away. I felt like it could hear me.

I really hope it heard me.

Anna's POV

I unbuckledquickly and opened the door. I jumped out, Chris and Sven following after me.

I rolled to the ground and heard a large crash.

I turned and saw the Ford smoking, the grill was crunched up against the tree.

"My car." Chris whispered.

"I'm sorry, it wouldn't have stopped anyway." I said sadly.

"Well, we better keep walking." He got up and dusted himself off.

I got up too.

We walked farther out into the forest.

No sign of human life. The occasional deer or rabbit, but nothing big.

But it was one thing that caught my attention.

A snow white rabbit hopping along the dirt.

Chris jumped back when he saw it, I laughed.

"Its just a bunny, Chris. Its completely harmless." I giggled.

I walked over to it and it didn't run away.

I petted gently on its white fur. It snuggled up against my hand. I giggled again.

"Can we keep it?" I asked.

"Only if Sven likes it."

The rabbit bounced over to Sven and rubbed itself up against Sven's long leg. Sven was nervous at first but eventually calmed down.

"Fine." Chris sighed.

I hugged him. I felt like there was a connection between me and this rabbit.

"I'm going to name it Olaf."

When Elsa and I used to play at the park, we found a white rabbit and named it Olaf. I'm not sure where the name came from but it stuck.

I was just about to pick it up when it hopped away. I chased after it.

"Anna!" Chris called.

I darted through the trees, twisting left and right. I followed the white blur until it stopped in a large clearing.

A small, wooden hut sat nestled in the trees. A figure could be seen inside.

The shadow stepped out into the clearing.

Elsa.
