A scream cut through the quiet of night, jolting Anna out of her sleep. She sat up, rubbing her eyes and her mind immediately yelled: Elsa.

The walls were thin; Anna could hear her sister's laboured breaths through the wall. She scrambled up and ran into the hall, reaching out to grab her sister's doorknob when she flinched back, her hand immediately going ice-blue and the skin cracked.

Using her dress she grabbed a handful of the material, twisting the doorknob open and yelping when frost shot out, layering the walls and floor.

"Elsa!" she cried, running in, making sure not to touch anything. Her sister was kneeling on the floor, her hands clutching at her heart.

When she looked up Anna jolted back, fear trickling down her insides. Her face was completely white, drained of what little colour was left. Her eyes were a mix of the normal blue and streaks of gold that travelled up from the pupil over to the eyelids.

"E-Elsa?"

There was no sound except Elsa's laboured breathing until she suddenly let out a strangled cry, sinking to the floor and curling up into a ball. Anna gasped and ran to her, kneeling down beside her and taking one of her hands.

"Ow!" she cried, pulling back immediately. Elsa's hand hit the floor, which frosted over and cracked before flying back to her chest like it caused her pain.

Gently Anna examined her hand. There skin was peeling and it had taken on a white tint in the shape of a snowflake.

"D-don't touch m-me," Elsa whispered and let out a high-pitched keening noise that made Anna's heart ache. "I-I'll just h-hurt you."

Anna stood up and ran to Elsa's bed, grabbing her little blanket. She wrapped it around her hands and lifted Elsa on to her lap, stroking her hair. "You'll be okay," she whispered, as Elsa let out another keening noise, her mind in too much pain to think straight.

Ice was growing on the walls, Anna noticed, terrified. What was happening?

Elsa jolted up, pushing past Anna as she pulled herself to her knees. She let out one final scream before collapsing, unconscious. The ice finally thawed away and evaporated into the air, and Anna shuddered as the cold air was bombarded with the warm castle temperature.

Hesitantly she touched Elsa's bare shoulder, and when nothing happened she let out a yell. "Someone, nurses! Help!" and gathered Elsa up in her arms, holding her tightly.

"My queen?" a maid appeared at the door. Her eyes roved the scene, Anna on the floor, holding Elsa in a blanket. She went pale and staggered forwards. "My Princess, what happened?"

Anna looked at her, starting to shake. No, she thought. Don't go into shock.

"J-just please, get the nurse," Anna murmured, stroking her hand through Elsa's hair.

"Right away, miss. Right away." The maid hurried off, shouting, "GET THE NURSE! WE NEED A NURSE!"

Elsa stirred weakly in Anna's grasp. Her eyes flickered open and immediately she let out a cry. The frost spattered out in streaks, covering the walls and ground. Anna let a whimper slip past her lips as she felt her arms and hands burn underneath Elsa but didn't let go.

Elsa writhed, her eyes wide open and the gold glowing brightly. A sob echoed from her mouth as she curled up. "I-i-it hu-hurts," she choked, clutching her arms to herself.

"I know, b-but y-you'll be okay," Anna stuttered, focusing her mind away from the pain she was in.

Slowly Elsa relaxed and her eyes slipped shut. The frost dissolved and the nurses flew in, pulling her out of Anna's hands.

Her hands.

They were bleeding and smoking, skin ripped away and the skin that hadn't was white and blue mottled.

"Oh my," she whispered to herself, examining her bare arms. "Oh my god."


This story was inspired by the amazing Frozen, which I do not own in the slightest. I went to see it last Sunday with my friends, and I would like to dedicate this story to them because I've moved away and I'm going to miss them very much.

So. New story. Yes, I know it's a bad idea, because I never update my stories, but this has been floating around my documents for a while. So drop me a review and I'll carry on- hopefully!

Even if you didn't like the story, drop a review to tell me why!
