Hello! This is a sequel to Frozen Faith! PLEASE READ THE FIRST STORY, Frozen Faith.
Chapter One: Anna
My name is Anna. And I know what love is. Love is when Kristoff came back for me. Love is when I came back for Elsa. Love is when I came back for Kristoff. When I came back for Hans. Love is putting someone else's needs before yours- even if they're your enemy. That is what love is.
"Anna!" Kristoff called as he entered the courtyard. Anna had been continusoulsy hacking at a straw dummy with her sword.
"Yes?" Anna said, sheathing her sword and wiping her face with a cloth. Her long, brown hair blew in the wind. She wore a tight, brown top with leather padding at the shoulders and forearms. Anna also wore a dark hunter green skirt that reached above her knees and leather boots that went halfway up her shins.
"It's time for lunch," Kristoff replied.
"Oh, Okay!" Anna cried, running up to him and giving him a hug.
"You've been practicing?" Kristoff asked, as the two began to make their way into the castle.
"Yeah. How 'bout you?"
"Yup. Jared got promoted to the head of the military, after his heroic efforts. He helped train with me. I really like using the axe."
"Cool! Any word on the Southern Isles?"
"Nope. But we must be ready." The two made it to Elsa's dining hall.
"Hey! You're here!"
"Elsa!" Elsa, in her new, purple gown was waiting at the table. Kristoff and Anna took their seats next to her. The three always ate together, in privacy.
"So, everything going good?" Elsa asked.
"Yeah," Anna replied.
"I hope you guys will never have to use those skill's you've been practicing," Elsa continued. Kristoff and Anna glanced at each other.
Kristoff, Anna, and Elsa were taking a walk around the castle grounds after their meal. Suddenly, a soldier ran up to them.
"Queen Elsa," he said, "we have recruited thirty more soldiers this week, and hired four more blacksmiths."
"Good," Elsa replied.
"And the general wants to see Anna and Kristoff."
"What? Why?"
"He needs them."
"What? But-"
"Sh, Elsa. It's okay," Anna said, putting her hand on Elsa's shoulder. She grabbed Kristoff's arm and led him to the soldier.
"We're coming," Anna said.
"Well then, come along," the man said. Kristoff and Anna followed him. Elsa looked with a worried expression at the departing Anna. Anna looked back at her and smiled.
As they were walking to the military headquarters, Anna thought, Yeah, why does the general want to see me? Then she remembered the words Kristoff said three weeks ago.
"Also, I need to defend the kingdom. I don't think the Southern Isles will take Hans' death lightly. War is coming, Anna."
"Yeah. I understand. But just- please promise me this. No matter how far we are separated, tell me you'll always love me. Promise! I don't want to lose you again!"
"I don't have to promise you, Anna. You know I won't leave you. I will always love you. Just have faith, Anna. I will be there for you."
"Thank you, brother."
"I love you, Anna," Kristoff said, looking into Anna's eyes. Anna smiled weakly.
"I love you too."
