Hey there! Here is Chapter One of A new Avenger!

Please, enjoy!


"Perfect day!" Elsa shouts out when everyone is already done singing. "Okay, to bed with you." Anna says to her. Elsa is pretty exhausted because it has been a very busy day for her. It was Anna's birthday, you see. Her little sister finally became eighteen today and she wanted it to be perfect!

Everything was going smoothly until she got this cold... "Wait, wait. All that is left to do for the Queen is to blow the birthday bugle horn." Elsa says. The Princess tries to stop her. "Oh. No, no, no..." She protests, but without any success.

Elsa blows the bugle horn and sneezes at the same time; a huge snowball flies all the way to the Southern Islands.

"Best. Birthday present. Ever." Anna says to Elsa – who finally made it in bed – and gives her some warm soup. "Which one?" Elsa asks. "Me letting take care of you." She replies smiling. "Okay, it's time for you to rest. Goodnight." She adds softly, grabs my blanket and tucks Elsa in.

Elsa has a flashback where she sees her mother doing exact the same thing when she was sick. She misses her a lot, though. Elsa has to blink a few times to get rid of the tears which were gathering in her eyes before Anna would notice them. Elsa nods and bids Anna goodnight. The Princess gives her a small kiss on her forehead and leaves.

Elsa closes her yes with a sigh and tries to sleep. It is a long and restless night with a lot of tossing and turning and it's like the minutes will not pass by. She shivers whole night long and she has to say, she has never sweated so hard in her entire life. Elsa's head is pounding and feels like exploding.

The most exhausting part of the night is where she has to cough every time she inhales. That's when she decides to sit up straight until the coughing is over. Elsa takes the glass of water that Anna left for her and drinks greedily. Luckily it helps a little.

Her head is still pounding, she's still shivering and there is cold sweat all over her body. Elsa curses herself that she didn't listen to Anna from the beginning, maybe it wouldn't have been this bad if she did. The Queen looks outside the window and sees the sun is coming up, she sighs hard and closes her eyes for as long as she can.

Few hours have passed and Anna knocks on Elsa's door to check if she's alright. Elsa's pillow is totally wet from the sweat and her blanket lays on the ground. Anna gasps softly and runs over to her sister. She takes Elsa's blanket and covers her again, then she runs to the bathroom to get a cold wet towel and lays it on her head gently. Elsa moans softly when she feels the cold on her burning head.

Someone knocks on her door, it's Kristoff. "How is she?" He asks softly when he sits down next to Anna. "Not well." She replies without looking away from Elsa. Kristoff sees how concerned she is. "She will be fine." He says comforting and pats her back. Anna sighs and wipes away a tear.

He will probably be right but Anna has never seen Elsa like this so it's her right to be worried. "Anna?" Kristoff clears his throat. "Yes?" Anna replies softly. "I was walking with Sven this morning and I bumped into someone. He looked kind of scared and was pretty weary... I couldn't understand what he was saying but then I heard something about the fjord and he ran away."

"I was curious so I followed him... when we ended up there, I saw this... thing. I don't really know what it is, but I think it's some kind of worm hole? It hasn't done any harm yet." "Yet?" Anna repeats as she looks up at him. Kristoff nods. "It is just being there. But why? And why here?" "What do we do?" Anna asks and sees that Kristoff glances at Elsa. "No." She says harshly and pushes him away from her. "She is sick." Then she stands up and walks towards the window, trying to get a look at the fjord. "What if it's dangerous?" "Love." Kristoff says and walks over to her and hugs her from behind. "She has ice powers, she can take care of herself." Anna sighs and closes her eyes, she knows he's right.

Elsa moans softly and takes the towel from before her eyes. "Anna?" She whispers. "I'm here." Anna replies and hurries over to Elsa and takes her hand in hers. "What's wrong?" Elsa asks. Anna and Kristoff exchange looks. "There is something we need to show you..." Kristoff says. Elsa coughs and nods. "Give me a minute." She says while she tries to get up and make herself ready.

It looks like the whole kingdom has gathered at the fjord and every single one of them looks at the same thing: the mysterious worm hole. "The Queen." An elderly man notices and everyone turns to look at Elsa. She feels a bit uncomfortable by them staring at her, especially now she looks so wonderful since she has this cold...

"This is the man who noticed the hole." Kristoff says and picks the man out of the crowd. She nods and tries to smile friendly so she wouldn't look like a complete monster. But what a marvelous job is that with her pale skin which is cover in sweat, messed up hair, puffy eyes and red nose... "Talk to me, sir." She says and glances quickly at the hole.

It is something she has never seen before, she is concerned and exited at the same time. Concerned for her people because what will happen if that thing is dangerous and starts attacking them? And excited, because you know, a bit of action would be great! After the little accident with the 'o so charming Prince' who left her sister to die and then tried to kill her, nothing ever happened ever since. She gets bored...

The old man nods and clears his throat. "Your Highness." He starts and bows. "I live in this little house over there, you see?" He points at it. "Every night I sit in my chair and I watch over the fjord." He continues about the fjord but then a butterfly catches Elsa's attention. She follows it with her eyes while she hears the word 'fjord' once in a while.

She blinks a few times when she realizes she's not listening anymore. "- until yesterday night!" The elder exclaims way too dramatically – Elsa jumps a little because he snaps her out of her thoughts – and looks around in terror to the other citizens. "It was late that night and I was about to go back inside when I heard this weird noise. It was soft but terrifying at the same time. I looked back to the fjord and I saw this small, star shaped light."

"First, it was glowing, but then it disappeared. It came back and grew even bigger while the noise grew louder! For some sort of reason, it disappeared again, and I thought it was over so I went back inside. But just at the moment I turned my back at the fjord again..." He looks around while the crowd waits in anticipation. "A strong wind swept me off of my feet! I-I was in shock and when I looked over my shoulder, I saw... this." He says with a trembling voice and points at the hole.

The elder looks Elsa dead in the eye, he grabs her arm and pulls her closer. The crowd gasp softly. Their faces are merely a few inches away from each other and Elsa can feel his warm breath, that smells like fish, touching her skin.

He narrows his eyes. "What can they do but burn?" He growls devilishly under his breath. Elsa breaths in sharply and manages to free herself from his grip. She takes a few steps backwards and stumbles, but luckily there is a couple that keeps her straight from falling.

Kristoff holds the man steady in his hands and asks if she's alright. Elsa nods and looks at the hole with terror in her eyes. "Why?" She asks the man when she walks in his direction. "I-I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I d-don't know what happened to me..." He says and lowers his head.

"Answer me. Why?" She asks again, ignoring his apology. The man looks at the hole. "That is what it said to me. I-it spoke to me..." He shakes his head and swallows hard. "Whatever is beyond there, Your Majesty, it's up to no good."

Elsa looks at the worm hole again. She has totally no clue what to do. All she wants to do now and go home and go back to sleep. It is too loud and crowded here, her heart is racing and her head is pounding. All these people who stand way too close in her comfort zone don't make it any better.

"Everyone can go home now." She demands and sighs of relief when she has some space to breathe again. Then she sees Anna coming her way. "Are you okay?" The Princess asks when she leads her away from everything. Elsa nods and runs a hand through her hair. "You sure?" "I'm fine!" Elsa snaps back. "I-I'm... I'm sorry, Anna. It's just..." She sighs and keeps thinking about what the man said to her. What can they do but burn?

"It's okay." Anna replies and hugs Elsa. "So, what are we going to do?" She asks next when she breaks up the hug. What can they do but burn? What does it even mean? It makes no sense. Maybe this thing is dangerous after all? Or is this all just one big joke? No. No, that can't be, right? Elsa thinks.

For the first time in a while Elsa feels genuinely scared again. She feels dizzy and has trouble breathing, but of course she may not Anna notice she feels like dying. Okay, dying may be a bit exaggerated, but really, she never felt so crappy in her entire life.

"Elsa?" Anna says and lays her hand on Elsa's shoulder, snapping her out of her thoughts. "Huh? Oh, yes. Err..." Elsa looks at the worm hole again. What can they do but burn? Elsa shakes her head and blinks a few times when it hits her. "I have to go inside..." She says softly, almost whispering.

"Wait, what? Are you kidding me?" Anna says with disbelief. "It's because of that man, isn't it? What did he say to you anyway?" The Princess adds with tears in her eyes. "What can they do but burn?" Elsa replies and looks at her feet, only now she realizes how stupid that sounds.

Kristoff joins them and holds Anna's hand – a small sign that he is there for her – and looks up at Elsa. "You are going in there, aren't you?" He asks. Elsa simply nods. "I have to-" "No, you don't!" Anna yells at her and burst out in tears.

Elsa feels so bad for her and her heart breaks to see her like this. That's why she takes her hands and hug her tightly. When Anna's done crying she looks at the ground. "Princess." Elsa says. Anna ignores her. "Anna, look at me. I really have to. That thing is dangerous-" "You don't know that." Anna interrupts again and looks away while she crosses her arms. Kristoff wraps his arm around her.

"I do. And I will go in there to stop the bad before it has any chance to attack my kingdom. I'm the Queen, Anna. It is my duty to protect my people." Elsa really hopes she has convinces her little sister, but all Anna does is scoff and shake her head before she leaves without saying another word.

Elsa sighs and closes her eyes. "She knows you're right, she is only afraid to lose you." Kristoff says. "I know." Elsa replies. "I know, but this is really the right thing to do." Why is it always she who has to disappoint her family? First her parents with her magic and now Anna by leaving...

"Can you talk to her?" Elsa asks a bit desperately, but luckily, he nods. "I'm on it." He says to her with a warm smile. "Come on, let's go home." He says next. Elsa hugs herself and shakes her head. "No. I-I need some time to think..." Kristoff nods understanding and heads back home.

The sun disappears behind the mountains as Elsa heads back home. She still hasn't figured out if it's really right for her to leave. Leaving Arendelle to get into that hole to face the 'what can they do but burn?' Is according to Elsa the best option. She is the Queen after all, she can't just sit there and do nothing while this could mean the end of Arendelle.

Elsa gets back into the castle and heads straight to her room, avoiding everyone before they can ask her things about the hole. She just wants to go to sleep and forget this day. Elsa has to walk past Anna's room before she reaches hers, and that's when she stops in her tracks as she hears Anna yelling.

"No, Kristoff! I can't understand why she is leaving me, again! And I never will!" Again? Elsa's heart breaks in a million little pieces and tears fill her eyes. She has a flashback to the time she was running over the fjord and left everything behind, because that time is what Anna meant with 'again'. But that was only to protect her... Elsa only did it for her because she was scared. Scared that she would hurt her sister.

And yes, she will leave. Again. But doesn't she understand that if she doesn't do this, she might be in danger? That Arendelle might fall? Suddenly Elsa's sadness turns into anger. She wipes away a tear and continues her walk to her room and throws herself on bed and starts crying.

Elsa doesn't want to leave with Anna being mad at her. She feels exhausted and knows she has to sleep at least a couple of hours to regain some strength and she also knows that she has to leave before Arendelle wakes up. Before Anna wakes up.

Elsa wakes up before dawn and raises herself out of bed. Her head is pounding harder than ever, her heart is racing like crazy by only the mere thought of going into that hole and rage is building up again as she thinks about yesterday.

Her plan is to walk out of the doors without saying anything to anyone, but can she really do that? Guilt overwhelms her. She has to leave a note, or Anna will never forgive her. She sits down at her desk and starts writing quickly.

Dear Anna,

I just want to let you know I'm sorry for leaving.
But when Arendelle is yours to protect, you will know why.
You are young and don't know much about the world and the responsibilities
you will face when you grow older. I am about to leave any minute now and
I just want to say goodbye. I don't know how long I will be gone, but I do promise you this: once I'm back, I will never leave you again.
I leave you in charge and I trust you will keep an eye on Arendelle.
I love you so, so much. And I'm truly sorry for everything I did wrong.
This is for your own good... I'm saying goodbye for now and I hope you will be waiting for my return. Goodbye, Anna.

P.s.: take care of Olaf.

Lots of love, Elsa.

Elsa leaves the letter on her pillow, where she's sure Anna will find it. Then she sees the sun coming up, a sign she needs to hurry up. The Queen heads out of the room and stops a second before Anna's door. She stands there, staring at the door for a moment with so many thoughts going through her head.

She holds up her head, ready to knock. Elsa shakes her head as she thinks back of yesterday, about Anna yelling at Kristoff. She places her hand on the door instead and leaves a short moment after as she tries to fight back tears.

Elsa arrives at the fjord. She's still very sick, and the idea of not knowing what will follow scares her. She remembers how she ran over the fjord, how it turned into ice with every step she made. Will it be the same this time? Will the fjord freeze by her touch? There is only one way to find out.

Slowly she touches the water with the tip of her shoe, a beautiful snowflake pattern appears, turning the area around her foot into ice. She smiles brightly and takes another step. Elsa is amazed by the ice she creates around her foot and takes another step. And another, and another, and another, until she reaches the worm hole.

Elsa takes a deep breath and reaches out to it with a trembling hand. Nothing happens. She does it again but this time is totally different. Her head is cloudy and her sight starts to blur. Elsa grows dizzy and has trouble with standing on her feet steadily. She feels like she is about to faint any time soon, and she's not wrong. Elsa looks back at her beloved kingdom before everything turns black as she falls into the worm hole...
