"There has to be something!" Queen Kyra cried as she searched with her husband, panic evident on her face. "Where could it have gone?"
"I don't know, I don't know," King Benjamin said and in his panic he knocked over several books. He quickly swooped them up, searching for the Book of Trolls.
Both parents whirled around when they heard a terrified cry from Elsa and Queen Kyra fell to her knees next to Anna, only to see that more than half of her hair had turned white. Her face contorted into horror and she turned to the king, who simply turned back to the books and began ripping them off of the shelves, taking mere seconds to check the titles.
"No, no, no!" he cried suddenly, evidently out of books to check. He leaned down to check the shelves, as if he could have missed one, perhaps – then he saw it. Hidden behind a flower pot next to the book shelves was the old, dusty Book of Trolls. He snatched it up carelessly, failing to see that several pages fell out, one falling behind the king's desk.
"What does it say?" Kyra said, cradling her daughter's head. She said, on a more fearful note, "She's ice cold, Benjamin."
" I – I… It doesn't matter what it says, we just need the way to the trolls, but it… it isn't in here," he said, running the hand that had frantically turned pages through his hair.
"You've been there before, surely you can get there again – we can't waste anymore time," Kyra said, beginning to feel a knot form in her chest. "She's going to die if we don't go now."
"What?" Elsa cried, tugging on her mother's sleeve. She then turned back to her sister, tears sliding down her pale cheeks. She knew that this was her fault – there was no one else to blame.
"Let us go," he said, ushering the family out of the doors, Kyra carrying Anna. They made their way to the stables and purely from memory the king began to lead the way into the forest. They left a trail of ice behind them and unbeknownst to them, a young orphan began to follow.
