So I'm trying to get more into the frozen fandom so if you enjoy this, please like and comment.

Elsa wasn't at all surprised when her second attempt of running head first into the ocean was met with a massive wave that pushed her deeper into its depths. As the water crashed above her She kicked and thrashed to pull herself to the surface, but the mighty ocean continued to swallow her in its choking darkness. Even her icy magic was unable to help her.

Not like this, she panicked, I have to find their boat!

She fought for the surface again, but lack of oxygen was making her weaker and weaker. As she sunk further and further all she could think of was how she had lied to her sister and friends. This may not have happened if she hadn't insisted on striking out on her own, but in her mind she felt she had no choice. She couldn't let Anna come with her, the journey was much to dangerous.

Case in point.

No… I have to find the ship… what were they… hiding…

She reached for what little light she could see through the murky depths closing in around her. Now the secrets her mother and father took with them were lost and she was about to join them.

The waves crashed again above her, but she would have to wait for death to take her as a pair of scaly, hot arms wrapped around her and pulled her to the surface.

Intense pressure pumping fervently on her chest forced the water from her lungs in a series of coughing fits. She was rolled over to her side to help her expel the rest of the water, her fingers grabbing a handful of sand, telling her that she had made it to dry land. Once she had coughed up the rest of the water she was rolled onto her back before a pair of warm hands cupped her face.

Amazingly she recognized the intense warmth.

"Elsa! Hey, hey, hey can you hear me?"

Coughing she nodded her head, and as she blinked away the salty water she could see Drake Daniels standing over her. Normally she'd be happy to see his hazel eyes, messy brown hair, and boyish features, but then she remembered she technically wasn't supposed to be here. He exhaled a long breath of relief when he saw the color returning to her eyes and fell onto his backside.

"You scared the hell outta me," he said as he ran his hands through his wet brown hair, "are you okay?"

She got to a seated position, not wanting to let on just how frightened she was from coming so close to death, she lied, "I'll… um, I'm fine."

"Good." His relieved tone quickly switched in frustration. "Now what in the NINE HELLS were you thinking?"

She rolled her eyes. "I don't have time for this." She got to her feet and headed back to the spot where she was going to make a run for the ocean again.

"Oh no," he stood in front of her "I thought we agreed that you running into the ocean like this was a bad idea."

"You, Anna, Olaf and Kristoff agreed, not me." She looked passed him at the ocean and prepared for another bout.

He moved around until he stood in her path. "Look I get it, you want answers, but even if you find the boat, it's at the bottom of the ocean. How do you plan to get to it?"

She groaned, grabbing her head and tugging at her hair. "I have to do this! I have to find out what they were hiding!" She paused a moment, looking into the distance then back at him with annoyance. "These were my parents, they knew something about me and kept it from me and I have to know what it was." She approached him until she was inches from his nose. "I'm going to find out what it was, now either get out of my way, or I'll make you."

His eyes widened before he erupted into laughter. Flustered she put on of her legs back into somewhat of a fighting stance. His laughter slowed. "Oh, your serious?" She put up her fists, answering his question. "You do know I've been trained as a warrior since I was basically a fetus right?"

"The guards at the castle taught me basic self defense measures." She said proudly. "Besides I took down two of the Dukes guards by myself."

"Okay, but did they teach you attack moves?" She shuffled her shoulders, but didn't lower her fists. "Okay. I'll bite." He placed his hands behind his back. "Hit me."

Though she wasn't backing down he could see hesitation in her stance. "I'll give ya a free one. Go for it." Mustering as much courage as she could she launched her right fist.

He moved out of the way of her strike easily.

"Not bad. Go again." Moving around each other she threw her fists as well as she was able, but of course he dodged her attacks effortlessly. Grunting, she swung again, only this time when he dodged he grabbed her wrist and twisted until he was able to pin her arms behind her back.

Seeing as he was a Dragon knight, his body radiated heat like a pleasant furnace and with him pressed up against her back she gasped at just how warm he really was. Her breath hitched in her throat at the sudden sensation running up her spine, she was never warm like this before, not even when they shared a dance at her coronation. It was… nice.

Him speaking right beside her ear snapped her out of her daze. "Look I get it, I know what it's like to have crappy parents, and I know how much you want answers, but we have to be smart about this. Please, just trust us on this."

She sighed, surprisingly aware of how firm, yet gentle his grip was around her arms. "I know, and I do trust you, Anna and Christoff, but you can't fault me for wanting to find out the truth about me can you…. Drake?" She wasn't sure, but she could swear that he was smelling her hair. "Drake?"

"Hm!? Yes I'm here… what now?"

Surely he wasn't smelling her hair. It was all salty and wet from the ocean? Or maybe he could smell past it? Either way. "Um, you can let me go now."

"Oh right sorry," again Elsa was surprised at how firm, yet gentle he was, "so we're good to go back."

She sighed with defeat and began to gather her clothes, but before she did something accrued to her. Something that brought a smile to her face.

"I suppose. However," she sauntered towards him, making sure to shake her hips in just the right way, "as queen I can't have it going around that I lost a fight."

Drake, somewhat distracted by her movements, returned her smile with one of his own. "Well my lips are sealed your highness."

She was closer to him now, her eyes half lidded and her smile radiant making his throat dry. "I know," a small whisper of icy mist floated from her lips, now completely lowering his defenses, "but just in case." And with a single strike she put her knee into his groin. "I just want to ensure my victory."
