The Arendelle Council rose as the Queen entered the room; each advisor bowed as she walked past them to her place at end of the room. The Council was seated at a long wooden table each was assisted by a scribe who sat behind them on a small wooden desk. The Queen had been given the nickname the "Snow Queen" by her subjects; and didn't mind to be addressed by it.

The head advisor Kai cleared his throat and began the meeting.

"Good morning Queen Elsa," he said smiling at the young queen. Elsa smiled back at him and spoke.

"Good morning everyone, so what important matters must we address today?" the queen said in a soft but strong voice, "I see that we have a new scribe today. Would you care to introduce him Tobias?" she said noticing the new scribe. He was considerably taller and older than all the other scribes. He had long red hair which was pulled back into a ponytail and a bushy beard. The advisor Tobias nervously chuckled,

"Ha, this is, uh…Ron." Tobias said nervously fidgeting with his large ruby ring. Elsa looked back at the rest of the assembly and asked again what needed to be addressed.

"Well your majesty, a shipment of furs was delayed on its way from the Kingdom of Burk. It is now scheduled to arrive in another week. Additionally, while the ship was only delayed due to a story which blew it off course; we have had reports that several ships in that area have been attacked by the infamous pirate "The Red Rose". The Queen stifled a small laugh,

"Why on earth would he call himself that?"

"Well you see, he paints a rose on the decks of the ships he attacks, with the blood of it's crew," Kai said in a serious tone. A few members shifted uncomfortably and cleared their throats.

"Oh my, that's terrible. Double the patrols on our ocean border, moving on." Elsa said changing the subject. One of the advisors shifted through his piles of papers till he found what he was looking for.

"I know that this is a touchy subject but it has to be addressed," he said nervously looking at the Queen. Elsa knew what was coming but also knew that it was necessary. "It's now been almost two years since…the…um...winter incident. Last month the people where asked how they felt about their Queen and the Royal Family and our results show that the approval rating has significantly raised over the last few years."

Elsa let out a small sigh, this was not what she had expected and she was so very glad. After that she tuned out the rest of the meeting, it seemed to go on for hours and hours. Finally she decided that if this didn't stop soon she was going to fall asleep.

The Queen stood up, as did the rest of the room, "I believe that is quite enough for today, we shall meet again in one month." With that her assistant hurriedly picked up all the documents and followed her out of the room. Elsa was so glad to out of that room! It was to stuffy in there and large important groups of people made Elsa nervous. Walking through the long hallways and up more than one flight of stairs she was finally at her chambers, where she dismissed her assistant and entered her room.

Elsa walked over to a large mirror that was hanging on the wall and looked at herself. She had hardly aged at all the last few years, the only noticeable difference was her hair, it had grown from being at her shoulders, to just above her slim hips. The Queen smiled, maybe since she had released her powers they had somehow kept her looking like she was eighteen instead of twenty? She shrugged, "Now if only I could've frozen Anna's age before she and Kristoff knew that they were having a baby.

Around a year after Elsa's coronation, her sister Anna and her boyfriend Kristoff got married. There was a huge celebration all throughout the kingdom. It lasted for days and days, and now almost a year later, they're expecting their first child. Elsa smiled remembering the day that Anna and Kristoff had nervously told that Anna was pregnant. Anna had knocked on her bedroom door; Elsa had hurried over and opened it. Elsa opening doors still surprised Anna; she had nervously walked in and asked if they could talk. Elsa had noticed how protectively Anna seemed to holding her stomach; Elsa instantly had a good idea what the conversation was going to be about. When Anna told her, Elsa had run over and embraced her sister telling how happy she was for her. Since that day Anna began to wear her hair down, got MUCH more emotional, and ate enough food to feed half the kingdom.

All the doctors that Elsa had gathered all agreed that the baby would be born on the first day of winter just weeks from now. Elsa was just as excited as Anna and Kristoff was. When Kristoff had heard the news he immediately resigned his position as Arendelle's Official "Icemaster and Deliverer" and dedicated all of his time to Anna, never once leaving her side in the last eight months. He had even gone so far as to ask for Elsa to create two Ice Guardians to protect Anna.

Elsa's Ice Guardians were as legendary as they were dangerous. At ten feet tall, they were by far the tallest opponents any one could face, not to mention that they could craft almost any weapon they could think of out of ice. But if they need to be they could be very protective and sweet, like the two that now guarded Anna. Anna had affectionately named them Bob and Tim. Bob and Tim watched over Anna night and day and were the most loyal guards imaginable. Anna had spent hour upon hour teaching them basic English and how to read simple sentences. Elsa was amazed that her creations could even walk, let alone learn how to talk and communicate.

Elsa decided to go visit Anna and Kristoff's wing of the castle, the two Guardians that guarded her at all times began to escort the Queen to where ever it was that she was going. She motioned for them to stay and walked off on her own to see her sister.

Anna was lying in bed, just like she had been for the last few days. She was getting bored, well at least she had Kristoff, she thought. Anna was propped up against a mountain of pillows, her long red hair covering most of the pile. Kristoff was asleep on a chair nearby, Anna smiled, she loved being married to him. He was so sweet and supportive and loving and…just everything. He was perfect she decided.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door,

"Who is it?" Anna called waking up Kristoff.

"Me" Anna heard the familiar voice of her older sister say.

"Kristoff, honey will you unlock the door? Pretty please?" Anna asked sweetly, her husband immediately obeyed, jumping up and swinging open the door and began to bow when he was abruptly cut off.

"Kristoff! I said no more bowing, you're a Prince now" the Queen said with a laugh, she walked in and pulled a chair over to her sister. "So, how is my beautiful sister doing today?" Elsa said placing her hand on Anna's stomach. "Have you two decided on names yet?"

Anna excitedly responded. "Oh yes! If it's a boy we're naming him Eric, and if it's a girl we're naming her Hazel."

The Queen smiled, "They sound like great names."

Anna grinned, "So, which one of you is going to help me get out to bed?" She looked at the four people in her room. "Bob?" The giant ice grunted and carefully lifted the princess out of the bed and helped her stand. Anna patted his arm and slowly made her way to the door.

"Let's go for a walk out by the gates", she said as the trio walked down the halls. "I could really use some fresh air." Kristoff and Elsa looked at each other and shrugged, what could a short walk outside hurt?

"Well if you're sure it won't tire you out too much", said the older sibling. "Oh it won't! After all what's the worst that could happen? The bubbly redhead said. And with that they walked through the large wooden doors to the front courtyard, not noticing the large malevolent warship that was docking in the harbor

"Captain we've laid anchor in Arendelle's harbor", a young boy announced through the small window to the captain's quarters. There was a soft creak on the wood floor, suddenly the door swung open causing the boy to fall down in surprise and fear.

"Thank you, now get your disgusting face out of my presents" came the reply from the captain. He was tall and his long red beard and hair was the only visible feature the boy could see. He wondered why the captain always wore that silly hooded cloak all the time.

"Did you not here me boy?! Be gone! Now!" the boy quickly scampered away as fast as he could. The Captain returned to his quarters and scoffed in disgust. It was maddening the idiots he had to deal with. But his sour mood left as soon as it had come. Today was not a day to be depressed, today was soon going to be his greatest victory. He walked over to the side of the room and pulled a small key from one of his many pockets and unlocked a small chest.

Inside there laid a dagger, it had once been a great sword but it had been broken. As much as he had hated to lose such a beautiful sword at the time he had decided to have what was left of the broken blade sharpened and the hilt shorted.

He slid it into its sheath and strapped it to his belt and smiled. Finally after the past long two years he would finally have his revenge...

"Its so beautiful out here Elsa..." Anna murmured enjoying the chilly air. "Yes...yes it is", Elsa replied with a smile. Everything had been so perfect the last year, she thought. But this moment, with pregnant Anna and overly protective Kristoff walking in the courtyard was the most perfect moment.

Kristoff watched the sister leaning on one another and walking and grinned. Elsa would make the perfect Aunt and Anna would be the best mother ever. Kristoff was shaken out of his thoughts when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He quickly turned around and saw one of Elsa's scribes, "Oh hi! You're one of The Queens scribes right?" The man nodded, "Your name's Ron! Yeah, that's it. Where did you way you were from early." The red haired man in front of him grinned, "The Southern Isles..."

Anna was being surrounded by at least fifteen children all asking about the soon to be royal baby. Anna smiled and kindly answered all their questions as the Queen stood near by watching. "Its nice to not be the center of attention for once", Elsa thought. As they had been the last two years the gates were open and today seemed to be very busy. People we milling about and chatting, suddenly the blonde felt a tap on her leg and looked down. A small girl maybe about five or six years old was looking up at her. "Scuse me, Miss Queen Elsa, I was wondering if you could...um...make me a snowman?" the girl squeaked terrified. Elsa smiled and bent down so that she was eye level with the little girl. "Why certainly! How big would you like him to be?"

The girl relaxed and thought for a moment before deciding, "Just big enough to fit in my pocket, please". Elsa's smile grew even bigger as she formed a tiny snowman in her hand. The small girl's eyes widened and her mouth dropped as the snowman began to move.

Elsa handed the girl the minuscule snowman, "Be very careful with him, Ok?" the girl nodded so hard Elsa was afraid that her small head would fall off. "Absolutely! Thank you! Thank you so much!" the girl said as she ran off to show her friends her new pet.

Elsa smile again, she absolutely loved children. She looked around at the crowd trying to see where Kristoff had gone off to. But he was nowhere to be found. "Hmmm, that's strange", the queen thought, "He's never disappeared like this before." Her gaze fell on the large decorative wood gates. "Wait, where are the guards?"

There was a loud high pitched scream followed by the defining sound of cannons. Chaos erupted in the courtyard as everyone ran to escape the cannon balls that were raining down on the castle. Elsa couldn't comprehend what was happening, "Wait, where's Anna?" she thought as one of the castle's front walls exploded sending wood and stone in every direction. Men were pouring through the front gates and to Elsa's horror began to cut down everyone in their path. Kai grabbed her shoulder and shouted, "We need to get you to safety we need t..." his words were cut off when a crossbow bolt buried itself in his neck. He left go of her and stumbled backward, blood was pouring down his body. Elsa rushed over to him, "No, Kai, you can't die..." she yelled, but it was too late. Kai's body slumped to the floor dead.

Elsa frantically looked for her sister; guards were pouring in and engaged the attackers giving Elsa enough time to find Anna. The color drained from Elsa's already pale face, Anna was trapped in the arms of a hooded figure. She rushed over to them and was about to send a deadly blast of ice into the man's head when he put a blade to her sister's neck. A very familiar blade...Elsa had seen it somewhere and she knew exactly who had wielded it... "Han's..." she growled, "Let my sister go."

The hooded figure laughed and shook off his hood, "And just why would I do that?" The air dropped to near freezing and snow began to swirl, "Because if you don't, I will kill you..." This caused Hans to laugh even louder, "Oooooh, I don't think that you will. Wanna know why? Because I seem to recall the last time that you thought your sister was dead you couldn't even use your powers."

The snow stopped swirling, she knew that Han's was right. Anna tried to speak, "Please, Elsa...save me. Save my baby." She said, panic and desperation evident in her voice. Elsa saw something in Hans eyes, a malevolent idea had formed in his brain at the mention of Anna's baby. He whispered in her ear, "You know, that should really be my baby..."

Anna's eyes went wide with fear and panic, "No! Hans! Please no!"

Elsa tried to think of any way to save her sister, and her kingdom. She looked around, the court yard was littered with the bodies of her army. Hans's mercenaries had made short work of them and had moved on into the city. A small group now surrounded them waiting. The castle was in ruins and the warship was now focusing its cannons on the city. She knew that there was no way they would ever be able to recover from this. Three more warships were now joining the bombardment, The Arendelle Navy was attempting to mount a defense but they were just getting blown out of the water.

"You see, Elsa? You've lost everything, your parents, your kingdom, all you have left is your sister." Hans flipped the blade so that it was pointing down. "Kill me instead Hans! Please, just spare my sister...Please" she begged. This seemed to pleas Hans greatly, he smiled, "Oh Elsa, I don't want to kill you. I just want to take away everything that you love." His smile grew even bigger, Anna began to cry, "Goodbye Anna" he whispered into her ear...before he plunged his knife deep into her stomach.

Time slowed down as Elsa watched, frozen, as Hans plunged the gleaming blade into her sisters stomach again and again. Elsa watch powerless as her loving and caring sister. Her sister who had traveled for days to find her, through frigid temperatures, wolves, and the mountains to save Elsa from herself, and now she had failed to return the favor. The one person she loved more that anyone was dead. Dead at the feet of the monster in front of her.

Hans laughed a crazed laugh as he saw the snow stop, "I win! I have defeated the Snow Que..." his triumph was cut short by the unearthly howl from the woman in front of him. He had less than a second to realize that he had made a terrible mistake before he was blasted in through the courtyard's walls. An immense explosion of pure energy leveled the castle, the city, and every ship in the harbor. Elsa collapsed, dragging herself to her sisters body. She propped her little sisters head on her lap and sobbed into her red hair. The Queen sat for hours holding her sisters body, she was alone once again. Everything that she had ever loved had been reduced to smoking piles of ash.

She felt herself slipping out of consciousness, "I so sorry Anna..." she whispered as she passed into darkness. Her head fell back into the bloodstained snow.

Author's Note:

Originally this chapter was supposed to just be a tragic one-shot, but a friend who love the lord of the rings convinced me to turn it into a cross over. This is probably one of the longest chapters I've written, due to the fact that I have the attention span of a goldfish, but the idea of Elsa having a role in the Fellowship and the destruction of the one ring is just so interesting I couldn't resist. Also just to clear this up now, Yes, the character of V will have a big role in this story. For those of you who don't know who V is, he is a character that a friend and I created a few years back for a comic/cartoon and he is in no way a self-insertion of myself. I will probably never do a self-insert mostly because I'm pretty boring and I don't have that high of self-esteem. Anyways, please leave reviews, they always make my day so much better.

Cheers!

V
