"I...Hate...Ships!" Anna growled as she stared at the Arendellian flagship, The Crocus.
"Anna. You know this is part of being a monarch. Not all the trade is done by dignitaries coming here. Sometimes, we have to go there yourself. And may I remind you, you were the one who requested to come along with me." Elsa said.
"Yeah, well after nearly losing you three weeks ago, I'm not taking any chances." Anna said as she pit an arm around her sister's shoulders. "I'll be accompanying you wherever you go for a long...long...long time."
"I'd actually like that." Elsa said with a smile as the captain of the ship approached the queen and princess.
"Good afternoon your majesty, your highness." The captain said. "I am Vladimir Gornov. I'll be the one to get you to your destination, the kingdom of Arrimus I believe?"
"That's correct." Elsa said.
"Well your majesty and highness. You don't need to worry at all. I am one of the best captains in the seven seas and I have the best spotters and ships. I assure you, we won't run into any ship-sinking storms out there. So, you don't need to worry princess. I will get you two there safely."
"Thank you captain." Elsa said as she and her sister walked onto the deck of the ship to check it out. They would be departing within the next few hours to Arrimus to try and create a trade deal, to replace the break up with Weselton.
"See Anna. Its not so bad." Elsa said as she showed her sister their quarters. "Its pretty luxurious and the chefs are quite good as well."
"I suppose its okay." Anna said grumpily. To be honest, she hated ships, not because of their cramped quarters or poor food but, because her parents had perished three years ago in a shop during a storm at sea. Since then, she had never liked the water or sailing and those fears were ever multiplied now that they were going on a long journey through oceanic waters, as if sailing on the fjord didn't scare Anna enough.
"There'll also be chocolate." Elsa goggled as she tried to cheer up her sister. It seemed to work as Anna laughed lightly in response. Elsa wasn't without fears though. She, like Anna, also feared sailing for the exact same reasons as her sister, but as a a monarch, she was required to sail to other kingdoms since it was more respective that asking them to come here.
"So, when do we leave?" Anna asked as she flopped down on the bed.
"By around four this afternoon." Elsa responded as she looked out of the rear windows on the ship. She stared around at her kingdom and thought about the events that happened a mere three weeks ago. She had nearly killed her sister, frozen the kingdom, been accused of treason and tried to be executed by a selfish prince, but yet, the kingdom still accepted her as their queen. Well, most of them anyway. According to Kai, there was a small resistance group located on the outskirts of Arendelle called The Black Sun. Their goal? To rebel against the royal family. They had existed as far back as their parents reign, yet the events last week gave them all the reasons they needed to overthrow the royal family. Despite an attack by the royal guards on one of their hideouts, there were still scattered units into the forest that could easily be planking another move.
"Something wrong Elsa?" Anna asked, noticing her sister staring out across the fjord with a blank expression.
"Huh? Oh yeah. I'm fine. Just thinking about something." Elsa said semi-truthfully as she walked back over to her sister and sat next to her.
"Hey. You can tell me what's bothering you. We promised no more closed doors...and that means mentally as well." Anna said as she sat up.
"Well. Do you think its right for me to be queen?" Elsa asked causing her sister to frown.
"Elsa. Of course it is. Why would you ask that?"
"The events three weeks ago Anna."
"Elsa. The past is in the past. Everyone accepts you as their queen and I doubt anyone would have it any other way. I mean, how many queens do you know that could give their kingdom snow cones in summer?" Anna giggled.
"Anna..." Elsa said with a smile.
"What? You can make snow any time of the year. Of course someone is bound to ask you for a snow cone." Anna said.
"Someone other than you? You mean." Elsa asked. Anna just giggled in response. "Well, we better get our stuff ready. I don't want a bad impression with Arrimus by being late."
"Alright. I'll just wait here." Anna said as she flopped over on her bellyband closed her eyes. Elsa sighed as she dragged Anna out of the bed and onto the floor. "Alright! Alright! I'm coming! Jeez."
In the cargo hold...
"Max. Have you loaded the last of the cargo?" A sailor asked.
"Just waiting on a few more crates." Max replied as the sailor left. A minute later, four men arrived carrying a massive crate each. "Put them over there."
"Yes sir." They replied as they deposited the crates in the corner, hiding them under some cloth in the process.
"Excellent. All is going to plan." Max sneered.
3:50 in the afternoon...
"Your majesty, are you ready?" Captain Gornov asked. Elsa nodded in response as she looked at her sister show was saying goodbye to Kristoff. She watched as Anna boarded the ship, giving one last wave to Kristoff and the people in the process, and walked over to her.
"Are you alright?" Anna asked as she stood next to her sister.
"I should be asking you the same thing." Elsa said.
"Hey. I'm fine. But you have trouble controlling your...you know...when you're fearful." Anna said with concern.
"I...I'll be fine." Elsa said as she held her sister's arm. "As long as you're with me."
"Aww's...thanks..." Anna giggled as she and Elsa walked below deck. "So how long do you think it'll be before we reach Arrimus?"
"According to the captain, as long as then wind stays good, around two days."
"Two days in here?" Anna cried. "Oh god. I'm going to die of boredom."
"Stop overreacting Anna." Elsa laughed as they entered the quarters and flopped down on the bed. "Its not going to be that bad. Luckily for me, I can take a break off of my duties as well. You'll be surprised how hard those are."
"Mhmm..."
"Anna are you even listening?"
"Somewhat...its got something to do about your duties right?"
"Very perceptive of you."
"Thank you."
...
...
...
"Elsa?"
"Yes Anna?"
"Can I have a snow cone?"
"..."
"Well...AAH! Elsa stop! ARGH! Stop tickling me! Ahahahah!"
7 hours later...
Crash!
"Elsa!" Anna screamed as a clap of thunder woke the princess up.
"Shh...Its okay. I'm here!" Elsa said as she stroked her sisters head.
"Elsa. I'm scared!" Anna cried as another clap of thunder was heard, this one much louder than the last. They could feel the ship shifting to the left and the right as the ship rode the waves all over the place. Elsa slowly stood up as she helped Anna onto her feet as well. They slowly walked over tot the door and opened it, revealing heavy rains and dark skies.
"Your majesty! Get back inside!" Captain Gornov shouted out over the storm.
"I thought you said that we wouldn't run into any storms!" Elsa replied, quite fearful at the thought of them being in the same situation as their parents.
"I said that we wouldn't run into any ship sinking storms. The waves are quite small. We'll make it through this your majesty, don't worry." Captain Gornov said as he wrestled control of the ship. "Get back inside your majesty."
Elsa and Anna followed the instructions as they fled back inside to their quarters. Slamming the door shut as they settled down on the bee, the ship rocking left and right from the storm. Elsa cuddled her sister gently as she tried to calm her, and herself, down.
"Don't worry Anna. We'll make it through this alive. I promise you." Elsa whispered into her, scared, sister's ears.
"Please don't leave me..." Anna begged.
"I won't...I pro..."
BOOM!
A massive explosion ripped through the ship causing Anna and Elsa to jump in shock. They could suddenly feel the ship tilting to the left as crewmen and guards alike screamed from outside!
"What was that?!" Anna asked in horror as she and her sister stood up. Their question was answered as the door to their quarters flew open revealing then captain of the ship.
"Your majesty!" The captain screamed. "Come with us now!"
Elsa and Anna complied has they're an outside and saw part of the deck on fire. They gasped when they saw the full extent of the damage. The front of the ship had been blasted open. There was a massive hole on the left side of the ship causing water to pour in to the lower decks, the ship began to tilt to one side as it began to sink.
"Your majesty! Over here!" The captain yelled as the crew started to deploy one of the lifeboats. Another smaller explosion ripped through the ship and dislodged the main sail, causing it to come crashing down on the men and the lifeboat. The sister's just stared in horror as the captain pilled them toward the edge of the ship.
"CAPTAIN!" A sailor screamed. "ROGUE WAVE!"
The captain's eyes widened in shock as he caught sight of a massive wave approaching from the side. Without the mast, there was now way that the captain could avoid the wave.
"BRACE FOR IMPACT!" The captain yelled as he grabbed hold of the side of the ship.
"Elsa!" Anna cried as she grabbed hold of her sister. They watched as the wave approached them, closing their eyes as the wave was seconds away.
Of felt like they had been slammed into a wall. Elsa felt Anna being ripped from her grasp as the ship capsized, bringing everyone down with it. She could feel her being slammed against but he banisters on the ship, pain tearing through her back and arm as she plummeted into the water. Elsa could feel the water drawing her down as she tried to swim to the surface. She tried to use her powers but all that she could see was ice forming on top of the water, and that was something she didn't want, because it would trap everyone underwater. Elsa could sense she was getting dizzy from lack of air as she could see the surface above. The minute she broke through, she gasped for air as she looked around at the wreckage.
"ANNA!" Elsa screamed out as she stared around looking for any survivors. She saw a piece of floating piece to wood nearby which she grabbed onto with her left hand. She screamed in pain as she retracted her left hand and looked at it. She could see a splinter of wood impaled in her left hand as she grabbed the plank with her right hand. Suddenly, a floating object on the surface caught Elsa's attention.
It was Anna!
"ANNA!" Elsa screamed as she kicked in the water to float her and the plank of wood over to her sister. The minute she got near her, she used her impaled left hand to grab her unconscious sister and deposit her on the plank of wood. She made sure that Anna was secured as she tried to keep the plank balanced so that it wouldn't tip over. She could feel herself slipping into unconsciousness as she tried desperately to keep a hold onto the plank. She could see red in the water yet she had no idea where it was coming from. Finally, the tiredness and injuries got the better of her as she slipped into unconsciousness.
Anna could hear the ocean in her ears as she opened her eyes and groaned. She looked up to see the sun shining, not a cloud it be sky. She tried to sit up but almost instantly screamed in pain a she fell back on her back. Gasping from the surge of pain, she looked to down her body and saw that her leg was slightly swollen. It was broken, and not just a fracture. It was truly broken. Anna bit her lips as she slowly rested her weight on her hands, pushing herself up while trying not to move her leg. She looked around and saw then calm blue ocean surrounding her. She looked to her right and gasped when she saw her unconscious sister barely holding onto the plank.
"Elsa!" Anna screamed as her sister let go of the plank and nearly sunk, if it wasn't for Anna grabbing onto Elsa's arm at the last second. Anna winced in pain again as the sudden movement caused her broken leg to move slightly. Anna ignored the pain as she lifted her sister up, so that her head was out of the water. Anna pulled her sister on the plank, nearly capsizing it in the process, and laid her down next to her as she placed her hand on Elsa's chest. She sighed in relief when she could feel her sister's heart beating beneath the palm of her hand. She was alive...for now, since there was a jagged piece of wood impaled in Elsa's abdomen, as well as the splinter of wood impaling Elsa's left hand.
Anna choked with tears as she saw the splintered piece of wood jammed into her sister, the wound still bleeding. It pained her to see her sister in such an injured state. There were also numerous cuts and bruises from where she guessed her sister had been thrown off the ship. She contemplated whether to try and remove the wood. Unfortunately, she couldn't do anything on the tiny plank of wood that was the keeping them afloat. Luckily, Anna could see landmass just a few miles away from them, and they were heading straight towards it. Anna kept her eyes trained on Elsa to make sure she was still breathing as she begged the waves to drift them towards the island faster.
The only thing that she could do now was pray that her sister would still be alive upon reaching the island.
My fourth story. Hoorah!
So, this is completely unrelated to my other three stories and is focused mainly on Elsa and Anna. Though there may be an OC later on...maybe.
I just came up with this idea after watching a movie where two people get stranded on a deserted island.
I hope this is alright for a first chapter.
