What's up guys? I am so sorry about all this higgledy-piggledy stuff that been happening with this story, I hope you can forgive me but this should hopefully be the last time anything goes wrong with this story. I VOW TO GET IT FINISHED! HAha! Now without further ado, chapter 1!

Reviews would be much appreciated!

Elsa stood anxiously with the small of her back pressed gently against the right fountain in her courtyard. Her hands pulled up to her chest as she hyperventilated heavily. Now she was allowed outside, she was sure she had a freedom complex, possible agoraphobia or monophobia. Elsa gulped, trying to dislodge the sticky lump in the back of her throat. Her arctic blue eyes darted across the courtyard, watching fearfully as castle servants and villagers alike wandered around though she did notice that some of the villagers gave her a wide berth. Which, to Elsa, was totally understandable, if she was them she would give her a wide berth too. She watched as every now and then some children would try to come over to her but were quickly headed off by their parents or nannies. Elsa's eyes glazed with tears, her villagers shouldn't be fearful of her, she was their Queen after all for god sakes! Her chest heaved angrily but she quickly felt guilty, she shouldn't be feeling this way towards her subjects. She backed up further towards the fountain, planting her bum against the fountain. One hand ventured shakily up and ruffled her hair, a nervous action she sometimes did and she let out a shaky nervous breath. Elsa looked up and around the courtyard again when she felt something tug the flounce of her dress. Her eyes widened as she looked down letting out a surprised gasp. It was a little girl of about six years old with shoulder length tanned blonde hair and deep honey colored eyes staring up at her with a huge cute smile on her little round face.

The two stared at each other for a moment, 'where's Anna? What do I do?' Elsa began to hyperventilate, what was she supposed to do with this little girl? Stand staring at her until someone noticed and shooed the girl along?

"I know who you are." The girl smiled, her fist still holding onto her ice blue dress.

"Oh?" Elsa hummed, confidence slowly dribbling into her, or so she hoped.

"Yeah." The girl nodded, "your Qween Ewsa! The one that mewted the winter."

Does this girl not know I'm the one who made the winter to begin with? Elsa blinked.

"Y-yes. That's me." Elsa squeaked.

"My mama towd me you also created the snow." But instead of the smile being wiped from the girls face like Elsa was expecting it to, it grew.

"I don't reawy mind though. My daddy towd me that you cou'dn't control your powers so it's not your fault." Is this girl for real? Elsa blinked confusedly.

"Oh? And who is your daddy?" Elsa asked elegantly bending down to face the little girl.

"My daddy said he used to work at the castwe, but after something happened he was towd not to come back. He's the bwacksmith now." Said the girl as she traced patterns absently on Elsa's knee.

The blacksmith? I'll be sure to give him his job back if he wants it.

"But you don't need to be afraid." Beamed the little girl.

"Karin!" Called a woman from over by the entrance to the courtyard. Both the little girl and Elsa snapped their heads up. The woman who had called was wearing a cream/grey villagers dress with a small flour covered apron tied around her middle.

She looked to be in her late twenties.

"That's my mama. I have to go. Bye-bye Qween Ewsa." The girl smiled widely as she waved good bye to the Queen. Elsa gave a small smile as she gave an even smaller wave goodbye. That little girl made Elsa remember her sister at that age, both were so filled with innocence, light and hope. It made the Queen's heart swell to hear such kind words come from such a little girl. But quickly enough, sadness and anxiety seeped back into the Queen, she stood up and pulled her hands close to her chest again and looked around with a look of pure terror. Oh, where was Anna? Elsa was beginning to get impatient and even more anxious. She had asked Anna to show Kristoff the sled she had commissioned for the rugged mountain man as Elsa had listened in horror the tale of how it had been destroyed!

"Oh Anna!" The Queen had gasped as the Princess sheepishly told Elsa that she had told Kristoff she would pay him back, "you could have died! You could have been eaten! Of course I don't blame you Kristoff." Elsa had smiled at the ice seller who gave an uncomfortable smile to the Queen in return, "fine. I shall see what I can do." She had said pretending to be aloof. She already knew that a new model would be coming out and that it would be perfect for Kristoff and his cute reindeer Sven, to whom she had taken a liking to.

Though the Queen had to admit, she didn't realise it would have taken this long for Anna to give them their new titles and their new sled. Obviously she had been mistaken.

There was another tug on the flounce of her dress making the Queen glance down again. Her eyes widened as she saw the very same girl from a moment ago grinning back up at her. The girl's mother was standing next to her with an almost apologetic yet understanding smile.

"Excuse me Your Highness." Smiled the woman who was not much older than herself, "but my daughter saw how upset you have been looking whilst you have been standing here and she wanted to give you something to try and cheer you up." Explained the woman.

"Oh?" The Queen arched an eyebrow inquisitively, "and what might that be then little Princess?" Asked Elsa with a mischievous smile playing on her lips as she crouched down to the girl's height once more. She saw that the girl was hiding something behind her back.

"Qween Ewsa, you hafta cwose your eyes!" Ordered the girl cutely giving Elsa a small pout reminding the young Queen even more of Anna.

"Karin!" Cried the woman.

"It's fine, honestly Adeline." Smile the Queen to the older woman.

"You know my name?" Karin's mother squeaked placing her hand over her thumping heart.

"Of course." Smiled Elsa, "I try to know all of my subject's names." Smiled Elsa with a slight nod of her head. Karin's mother looked like she was about to faint.

"Ok," whispered Elsa to the little girl, "I'll close my eyes." And she did.

"No peeking." Came Karin's voice.

"I'm not peeking." Laughed Elsa. Unbeknownst to Elsa the entire courtyard had come to a standstill to watch this peculiar scene play out. No one had ever seen their Queen Elsa in the flesh let alone see her interact with a little girl on her own before. Or anyone for that matter.

"Howd out your hands."

Elsa held out both her hands, a beautiful smile graced her lips that made all of the men in the courtyard go weak at the knees. One of the teenage boys surveying the scene actually collapsed frothing at the mouth.

Elsa felt something light and slightly wet fall into her pale hands. She peeked through her thick eyelashes to see a cut of a flower.

"Ok, open 'em." Ordered Karin cutely.

Elsa opened her ice blue eyes and focused fully on the flower. Elsa smiled, it was a fresh cut Periwinkle.

"Oh," Elsa hummed, her smile widening, "it's a Periwinkle. My favourite flower! How did you know?" Elsa asked Karin and her mother.

"Your fave-?" Gasped Adeline placing her hand on her palpitating heart again.

"Yes, I simply love Periwinkles." Smiled Elsa as she watched Karin's face light up like a thousand suns. She peeled off the leaves and a little bit of the stem before placing it in her hair above her left ear.

"Thank you." Elsa beamed at the little girl as she stood up.

"And thank you too Adeline." Elsa smiled gently placing a hand upon the woman's upper arm. The woman made to flinch thinking that the Queens hand would be cold or turn her to ice, but she didn't, she could feel a small amount of heat coming from the Queen's hand.

"No, thank you You're Highness. You have made my daughters day." Replied Adeline taking Elsa's hand in her own and giving her a large smile.

"And her mine."

The florist and her daughter bade goodbye to the radiant Queen and made their way from the courtyard. It took a little while for the people in the courtyard to come to their senses and go about their daily business. Another ten minutes passed and the happiness given to her by the little girl, Karin, was beginning to slowly seeped away from her leaving her to her anxiety and depression. Every now and then the Queen's hand would creep up to the flower and stroked the petals leaving a faint smile upon the Queens lips.

Her hands had found themselves clutched back at her chest, and fear had found its way back into her hollowing eyes.

Finally Elsa heard her sister come closer, her pump clad feet scuffing along the cobblestoned floor of the courtyard.

"Ell-saaaaaaaa!" Sung Anna as she goofily ambled towards her. Anna jumped to a halt right next to Elsa that made the Queen flinch.

"Oh, did I scare you?" Gabbled Anna leaning forward to comfort her elder sister, "I'm so sorry. But you don't need to be scared to be out here. I mean your funny…"

"Anna."

"Intelligent."

"Anna."

"Kind."

"Anna."

"Beautiful."
"Anna!" Cried Elsa with a snorting laugh.

"What!?" Reciprocated Anna with a deep blush on her cheeks.

"It's fine," Smiled Elsa placing a hand on her shoulder, "I'm not afraid anymore." Elsa's smile widened as she watched Anna's face break out into a large open mouthed grin.

"Oh, that-that's good." Said Anna almost breathlessly. Elsa stared at her sister through squinted eyes.

"Wha-what?" Anna squeaked taking a step backwards as Elsa rounded on her.

"What happened?" Elsa grinned.

"What d'you mean; 'what happened'?" Gabbled Anna, a nervous sweat trickling down her flushed face. Elsa narrowed her eyes in scrutiny as she leaned closer to Anna with her arms folded.

"Something happened between you and Kristoff." Elsa giggled as the blush on Anna's face doubled in size and shade. Her eyes widened in fear.

"Ha, I knew it!" Elsa said triumphantly.

"N-no!" Anna cried jumping back, "N-no-no-nothing happened between me an' Kristoff! I just gave him the sled and we definitely didn't kiss or-or anything."

Elsa snorted victoriously as she watched Anna freeze in fear and glance up at her older sister fearfully, her large teal blue eyes glazing over with scared tears.

Elsa stood rooted to the spot, wait, what? Elsa was certainly not expecting that! Elsa opened her mouth but no words came out. Anna's face contorted more in fear.

"El-Elsa?" Anna whispered timidly, Elsa glanced down to see her sister reclining away from her with her hands clasped firmly to her chest, looking like Elsa back before her coronation.

The look of astonishment quickly melted from Elsa's face to be replaced with a big calming smile, we're all different now. I'm sure she's learnt and besides Kristoff seems good for her.

"Go slow ok?" Elsa beamed lifting Anna back into a comfortable standing position.

"Y-you mean it?" Gasped Anna, her teal eyes shining with excitement, "oh thank you Elsa!" She cried glomping Elsa in a crushing bear hug that nearly knocked the two to the ground.

"Ex-excuse me Your Highness." Stammered Adeline's voice as she nervously interrupted the Queen and the Princess, Elsa popped her head over Anna's shoulder to see the florist and Karin, her little girl.

"Oh, he-hello." Elsa pulled herself from her sister's grasp.

"I am so sorry Your Highness." Said Adeline apologetically looking at the young Queen, "But when we left you, Karin told everyone that you were amazing and that you might do something magical." The woman shook her head defeatedly with a small smile on her face. Elsa's eye lit up as she looked down at Karin who looked up at her rather sheepishly, Elsa looked at her with an amused questioning look on her face.

"Yeah!" Grinned Anna knocking Elsa out of the way with her hip making the older sister huff, "course she can!"

"Wha-what!" Gasped Elsa fear settling in as she saw villagers begin to file in to the courtyard inquisitively, all looking round expectantly.

"You got this." Muttered Anna from a crack in her mouth as she smiled around at everyone. Elsa inhaled and exhaled slowly, allowing her feelings of anxiety and fear to trickle from her with her breath. She snapped her head up, a look of determination shining on her pale face as she sauntered, hips swinging, into the middle of the courtyard, followed by everyone's captivated eyes.

"You ready?" She cried with a cute smile on her face, her ice blue eyes shining excitedly. The throng of people, villagers and castle staff alike, yelled and whistled in response. Hefting up the flounce of her dress a little so the slit in her dress showed her leg up to the middle of her thigh she stomped her foot on the ground, relishing in the cold ice magic as it shot through her body like cold lightning. The crowd 'oooh'ed and 'ahhhh'ed as they watched the ice spread across the cobbled floor like it was being colored in by a child. The ice sprung up at the edge of the courtyard to form elegant turrets of ice as Elsa gracefully froze the fountains. With a cheeky glance over to both Anna and Karin who were standing next to each other with identical looks of wonder on their faces Elsa screwed up some ice and sent it flying into the sky where it exploded, giving a crack like a firework making it snow.

Huffing heavily, chest heaving, Elsa watched in contented amazement that her subjects would want to play with her powers like how she and Anna had done when they were children, she found it utterly mind blowing.

"Elsa!" Anna cried as she slid into her sister with a loud, "ooof!" As the two collided, Elsa expertly keeping her sister from falling on her behind. Anna gazed up at Elsa, pride and love radiating from her smile, "I like the open gates." She grinned.

"We are never closing them again." Elsa reciprocated the grin and scrunched up her nose at Anna.
