"Please Elsa? Just answer? Yes or no is fine I don't really care." Anna chimed. Elsa shook her head and hugged herself. I wish it was that easy, Elsa thought. Elsa convinced her head to think straight. Conceal don't feel, "go away Anna"

Anna frowned on the outside of the door. "Can I tell you a secret, Elsa?"
Elsa's head jerked up, she shuffled where she stood. Anna, hearing this, opened her mouth.

"You're my best friend, and I love you the most!"

Elsa's eyes welled up at the words, she smiled but then it evaporated into a frown.
"G-go away, I l-love you." Elsa squeaked, sounding less confident than she wanted.
"Okay, *sniff* bye" Anna answered. It broke Elsa's heart into shards when her sister cried. My god! Only if I didn't have powers Anna could live a normal 6 year old life, or a normal life in general.
Elsa slowly walked to the small table in the middle of the room, leaving a trail of frost behind. She looked down and silently squealed, afraid of her own feet. On the table was a chess board.

But that was 12 years ago.

Now Elsa was a proud sister to Anna. The girl who saved her life from Hans. She couldn't even stand thinking about him. Elsa was in her office, signing documents, letters, and treaties galore.

"Let's see,
Dear Queen Elsa,
I would like to ask for..." Elsa cut herself off. She opened a drawer grabbed a quill and started writing.

"Dear King Bremen,
I will not accept your apology nor my hand in marriage. I do not think the actions of your youngest brother Hans was acceptable what so ever. I do not care how many messages you sent nor if you even get on your knees. I will not forgive your country or your brother. I do apologize for my harshness but it's what I find necessary.

Even if I were to accept your apology, I have no interest in marriage currently. I find it actually rude for you to ask me that. I would like to break all connections between our countries, I understand if a commoner would come and plan such a horrid plan. But a member of the royal family of the Southern Isles is very surprising, rude, and untrustworthy.

I would like to tell you and inform you that if Arendelle sees the Southern Isles flag anywhere near our country, we may unfortunately declare war on your country. So I would suggest to keep your brothers and kingdom as far away from Arendelle as you can, Bremen.

Queen Elsa." Elsa put the quill down and folded the letter in an envelope. She sealed it with the green and purple seal of Arendelle. Elsa pulled on the rope in the corner of the room and sat down, waiting.

Kai entered the room, looking slightly worried. He found his manners very quickly and bowed, "Your Majesty." Elsa stood to meet him.

"Do not worry Kai. I just need you to deliver this to the Southern Isles and call Anna over to my study."

Kai nodded and then bowed, "Yes, your Majesty." He quickly walked out of the room as Elsa continued to sign more documents. Kai closed the door behind him and headed to Princess Anna's room. Kai knocked on the door. "Princess?" Kai asked. He heard snoring and rustling. Kai smiled, she's never growing out of that.

"Vut? Wis sumting vrong..?" Anna asked groggily.

"I do not know Princess, Queen Elsa has requested your presence." Kai said. Anna jolted out of bed and fell with a very loud thump.

"Princess! Are you alright?" Kai asked, concern lacing his voice. No response. "The queen's going to have my head." Kai mumbled, starting to sweat in the rather cool environment. He rushed over to Queen Elsa's study.

Meanwhile, Elsa had to reply to 5 marriage proposals responding all in all no. She was just about to move on to ending trade with Weselton finally when Kai burst through the door, much more worried than he had been when he left the study to go tell Anna to come to her study.

"What happened Kai?" Elsa asked, her head jerking upwards making an inaudible crack.

"Princess Anna is not responding from her room, your Majesty." Kai said.

"WHAT." Elsa dropped the quill spilling ink all over the Weseltanion document. She dashed down the hallway, Kai on her heels. Elsa landed in front of Anna's door, knocking rapidly.

"Anna?" Elsa asked through the door. No response. Elsa grabbed the knob and froze it, breaking the mechanism letting Elsa in. Frantically, she looked around the room for her baby sister. She spotted the redhead on the floor and ran over to her. When Elsa kneeled beside Anna she looked her over and saw she was unconscious. Elsa shook Anna's shoulders.

"ANNA!" Elsa exclaimed.

Anna stirred and blinked a couple times before seeing Elsa kneeling beside her and slowly sat up.

"What are you doing?"

"You fell."

"And?"

"You weren't answering."

Anna mouthed 'oh'. "So are you alright?" Elsa asked.

"I don't know, but I probably hit my head on that box." Anna pointed to a wooden worn out box near her bed. Elsa reached for the box and cautiously opened it. Finding a letter.

"Who's this from?" Elsa asked. Anna kept quiet, breaking eye contact. Elsa scooted a little bit closer to Anna. "Who, Anna?"

Anna mumbled something under her breath, looking at the floor.

"Hm? What was that?"

"…the Duke of Weselton…"

"WHAT?!" Elsa shouted. "Why did you even KEEP this letter from HIM?" Elsa didn't care what the letter said, she cared that Anna had kept this letter from him.

"I-I honestly don't know now…"

Elsa stood up quickly, which surprised Anna. Elsa was about to leave for the door but suddenly she stopped in her tracks, cheeks turning red. Elsa slowly turned to face to Anna and walked over to her.

"So are you alright?" Elsa asked gently, feeling embarrassed that she forgot the main situation letting her anger take over her body. Elsa hadn't even noticed the slight drop in temperature and frost slowly creeping up Elsa's fingers.

"I just hit my head but I'm alright." Anna said quietly, still blushing from the box that had D.O.W's letter. Anna stood up and opened the box taking the letter and heading for the fireplace.

"Anna what-?" Elsa was cut off by the roar of the fires that Anna started, instantly Elsa started sweating. Anna threw the letter in the flames and faced Elsa.

"Done."

Anna sat on her bed, looking into the fireplace wondering what was taking Elsa so long. Elsa had said she needed to finish up in an "important meeting".

Psh!

Like a meeting was more important than her sister!

Elsa rubbed her temples gently with her bare finger tips. These gentlemen were really getting annoying.

"… so I propose that the trade with Weselton should continu-"

Elsa sat up so abruptly that some of the council jumped in their seats.

"Not happening Ambassador William! I know your job is to protect Arendelle's finances, but trade with Weselton shall not continue! I even had civilians tell me that the Duke was murmuring something about exploiting trade with Arendelle!"

The meeting room fell silent at their Queen's outburst. Elsa was standing, palms flat against the now frozen wooden table. One of the dignitaries cleared their throat, pulling Elsa's gaze away from Ambassador William. Elsa looked down at the table realizing the ice. She pulled her hands away and closed her eyes. Love will thaw. Love will thaw. Love will thaw! Elsa opened her eyes to see the ice had dissolved. She sat back down and folded her hands in her lap.

"So," Elsa said, glancing at the Ambassador "trade will not continue with Wese-" Elsa saw the Ambassador open his mouth to protest so Elsa held up her hand to silence him.

"Is there anything else to report, gentlemen?" Elsa asked eyes flowing around the room. When nobody answered, Elsa stood and glanced to every council member.

"Well then, I Queen Elsa of Arendelle hereby dismiss this meeting. Have a good day."

Elsa waited till everybody left and when Lady Reboa left, Elsa slumped her shoulders. She strolled over to the corner of the room and pulled the rope. A minute later Kai appeared and walked up to the Queen bowing. Elsa nodded her head in return.

"What do you need of service, your Majesty?"

"Can you please go tell Anna to meet me in the gardens?"

"Of course, your Majesty."

Anna was playing chess with herself, a common hobby she adapted in her lonely 13 years, when someone knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Anna shouted, then turned her focus back to the board, tongue sticking out in concentration to figure out her next move. The door creaked open and Kai popped his head in, seeing the princess had her back to him. He cleared his throat, which caught Anna's attention.

"Yes?"

"Her Majesty has requested your presence in the gardens."

Anna grinned ear to ear, making her grin look painful. I knew she would be out of that meeting in no time! Anna thought. She jumped up, and ran past Kai, taking the shortest path to the gardens. When she made it to the clearing she saw Elsa sitting on a stone bench near a pond.

Sneakily, Anna tip-toed behind Elsa, then stopped. She mentally counted down. 5, 4, 3, 2, ONE!

"HI ELSA!"

Elsa screamed so loud, Anna thought she also had vocal powers to wake the dead. Elsa sat up at once and turned to Anna with a red face.

Oh no.

"Err… nice, uhm, day were having today…?" Anna nervously asked. Elsa's face was still contorted in anger.

"What was the purpose of that, Anna?" Elsa asked, eyes flashing.

"Surprise?" Anna shrugged. Elsa sighed, and let go of all her anger.

"Fine."

Anna and Elsa sat on the stone bench.

"Why did you bring me here?" Anna asked.

A horrible memory flashed through Elsa's mind and she zoned out.

Why did you bring me here?

I couldn't just let them kill you.

But I'm a danger to Arendelle! Get Anna!

Anna has not returned. If you could just stop the winter, bring back summer. Please.

Don't you see? I can't!

Anna snapped her fingers in front of Elsa's face. "Earth to Elsa?"

Elsa jumped, eyes widening. "Oh, sorry."

"What was that about?" Anna questioned.

"Uh… bad memories."

Anna scooted closer to Elsa, and squeezed Elsa's hand. "What about?"

Elsa looked away. "When I was in the dungeon with Hans an-" Anna gasped when she heard dungeon and Hans in the same sentence. "-d he wanted me to bring back summer, stop winter." Elsa looked at Anna with sad eyes. "But I couldn't. I had no idea love would th-thaw…" Elsa trailed off, voice cracking.

Yay? Neigh? Get it? Sven? No?

…

Anyhow; NOTEZ

-I put 12 years later cuz Anna was six and the total isolation was ages 5-18 soooo at 6 its twelve years. ;}

-I made up the council members names. Just sayin'

-They haven't really talked about the past so I felt like that needed to be addressed.

Till next time!
