“No-o-o-o!”
And just like that, Anna’s moment good behaviour left her, and a high-pitched wail of protest rang throughout the infirmary as she was lifted off her feet and brought back to the bed. The little girl definitely didn’t want to go back there, and in her mind, she definitely wasn’t done. Her protests continued into an angry, wailing cry in her mother’s shoulder, any arguments her mother brought up ignored.
She didn’t want to go back to bed, she wanted to walk around and play and run more than anything.
Such a wail would normally earn the girl a punishment of some kind, but given the state she was in, Idun couldn’t bring herself to do so. But her expression did grow serious, with a hint of a motherly annoyance as she pulled Anna away from her shoulder.
"Now, Anna, you promised to get back into bed when I told you,“ she said over the cries. "And if this is how you’re going to behave then you’ll stay there the rest of the day.”
The Queen had truly meant for the child to just have a little rest before trying again, but if this was to be the reaction, she wouldn’t get want she wanted.
