Authors Note!

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh! Frozen! 3! Heh... Anyways! One of the reasons I haven't put as much time as I know I could into my Little Mermaid fic (which if you haven't, you should definitely check out). I'm so excited, I can't every express it in words, so just read this! I hope you like it!

Summary

The Ice Queen. If Anna was spring, Elsa was Winter. The two were always together, Spring follows Winter wherever it goes. Destined to be together forever, but at the same time, always separate. It was wrong, they could never be together, Winter and Spring and then the impossible happened. Summer came to Arendelle. She never thought anyone else would be able to thaw her frozen heart, especially not some fugitive girl. But there's more to this than meets the eye. Someone who might need to Elsa to fix her, as much as Elsa herself needs help facing her inner demons and hard past. Dark and deep, hot and cold clash as her arrival brings a new threat to the little country that is no longer being ignored. Scandals, marriages, dances and the possible return of an old rival. Love will thaw..?

**There will be some Elsanna and potentially darker things later that might cause me to change the rating. Oh yeah, this also has Femslash, yay! (don't like, don't read).

"After her!"

"Watch out!"

"Don't let her escape!"

A ripple passed through the crowed market square. A small shape, fast as a shadow, could be seen darting around and through the people. Several larger men followed behind forcing their way through the dense and confused crowd.

"Make way everybody! Part please!" half a dozen of the Queens new guard rode up on horses and the crowd finally parted forming a circle around the two sets of soldiers.

After the incident with Hans, Queen Elsa had made a petition for a local guard to be created. It was quickly passed and there was certainly no shortage of volunteers. Although they were a separate group from the smaller royal guard they were funded by the Queen, and many children enjoyed gathering to watch the new heroes practice in the courtyard (when it wasn't being used as an ice rink).

Arendelle was small and had never before needed any sort of army so everything had to be ordered and made new. Their armor was scant, but still an impressive shining silver with a blue tint, blue accents and dark blue cloak. A blue stone in the pummel of the short sword strapped to their sides went well with Arendelle's new snowflake insignia which stood out proudly on the breast plate.

The Captain was an older yet sturdy man with a few hints of gray in his close cropped hair, and in his beard. He frowned as the leader of the other group swore under his breath when the shadow disappeared over the bridge. "Dismount!" his low rumbling voice echoed through the square that as a hush fell over it and the group dismounted in practiced synchronization. "State your business, you are causing a disruption."

The opposing man's scowl deepened "We're here on orders from Corona. Right now you are interrupting-"

"Do you have papers?" he interrupted feeling uneasy about the suspicious shifting figure in front of him.

"You are interrupting a very important assignment issued by-"

"Papers?"

The man gritted his teeth in frustration, "We were dispatched short notice and immediately, we don't have any papers."

The Captain just sighed and shook his head, "We're going to have to do something about that then."

The man shifted again running his hands through ruffled black hair the insignia on his breast plate catching the sun.

"Captain!" one of the newer recruits nudged the older man, "Look at his coat of arms."

A silver wave design with a cross and sun rising out of the center.

"Southern Isles." A mummer passed through the silent crowd. "You boys are gonna have to come with us then."

Elsa was able to control the weather with her emotions, but the natural weathers influence on her was just as powerful on her and right now she was being affected by it. She woke up to a feeling that although strange was not entirely foreign.

Hot.

She woke up hot, hotter then she could ever remember saying. Even though she was the Snow Queen she had felt the feeling before, maybe it was because she was the Ice Queen, because her body temperature was so naturally low that she was actually very sensitive to heat.

She stretched with a large lazy, very un-queen like yawn, fires, in the summer outside when she was younger, Anna, she was warm, warm in Anna's arms…No!

She threw off her light blue bed sheets and sat up quickly causing the blood to rush to her head. This heat was different. It was like a spark, like she had eaten something spicy and now that burn was starting to spread through her body. However it wasn't pleasant, it was an invasive thing. It tingled uncomfortably in her gut and across her skin. Something was wrong with the weather and she could feel it.

She ran her fingers through her thick platinum blonde locks trying to work out a few of the tangles. Thank god her hair was tamer than Anna's in the morning, no wonder she was always late. How the exuberant ginger's beautiful locks could change into such a mess in the rest of night always amazed Elsa.

She wandered over to her dresser rubbing sleep out of her eyes smiling a little as she remembered one incident when they were children. It took four servants and over half an hour to get little Anna to sit still enough to tame her hair when Elsa had teased her with snow when they weren't looking.

It only took a few strokes of a brush before her hair was ready to be tied back into its signature braid. Her thoughts drifted to Anna again wondering if the girl was awake yet, she never used to rise this late…

Her little grin was gone and her look of concern turned into a frown as she noticed the bright blush on her cheeks.

"Stop thinking about her, stop it!" she muttered to herself, her reflections admonishing finger pointed right back at her. Conceal, don't feel… the old familiar phrase drifted into her head "No, you promised just…just, don't think about it!" she pulled off her nightgown and headed towards her closet. The air on her skin felt surprisingly good in just a bra and panties and it pulled her away from Anna and back to heat. Hot, and getting hotter, it was almost unbearable now. She closed the doors to her closet disregarding the blue garments making herself an ice gown that brought a momentary relief from the burning hot flash she was suffering from right now.

Staggering back to her mirror stumbling to catch herself leaning heavily on the counter she stared up into her hooded blue eyes and flushed face. Maybe the color on her cheeks and fluttering in her stomach wasn't all because of her sister then. Another wave of heat sent her suddenly to the ground, where she leaned with her back against the dresser.

Cold, I need, cold, it's so hot. Ice, ice! She twirled her finger rejoicing inside at the cool it sent through her body and into the room to use her powers before she felt another wave of heat travel up in the burning pit of her stomach making her let out a small cry and keel over, passing out on the floor.

It was already starting off to be a bad day.

Anna rose promptly at 11 o'clock. She sat up with a huge stretch and fantastic yawn that would have looked strange on anybody else (especially with her hair creating a crazy red halo around her head), but only made the energetic princess look even cuter. A surprisingly warm breeze wafted through her window that made her perk up more at the fresh smell of summer. She got brushed her hair and tied it back in her twin braids faster than you might have thought she was able to and quickly dressed in a light green cotton dress. Skipping out of her room humming softly she ran into one of the servants who was practically running down the hall.

"Oof!"

"Ah! Your majesty!" she bowed, "I am so sorry!"

"It's alright Eilana, but why are in such a hurry?" she said looking at the very flustered maid.

"Oh my! Your majesty! You could, I mean." She gasped out of breath, "Her highness! The Queen!"

"Eilana?" Elsa? What's wrong with-

"Queen Elsa is missing!"

"Missing?"

The maid nodded vigorously, "Kai went to go check on her this morning, she didn't show up to her meeting and there was no response when he knocked on the door. It wouldn't open when he tried to go in and you can't see anything in the window."

Anna just blinked, missing, again. This is, the fifth time you done this to me Elsa? "I shall go check her room myself then. Thank you for telling me about this Eilana."

Anna hurried towards her sister's room the spring in her step all gone now she was swept up in memory and worry. The first time was when she ran at coronation. Then she chased us out of the ice palace… does that count? She ran after being locked in jail… The fourth would be, that ball we threw. Where is she now? There are no suitors to chase her away, no crowds of people, no me. She cringed at that thought before arriving outside that white door.

A nervous swallow and a deep breath before raising her hand to knock like she had so many times before this, tap tap tap-tap tap.

"Elsa?" no response. She frowned, the door, Kai couldn't open the door. She flinched when she touched the knob. Ice cold… She pushed lightly on the door but it didn't budge an inch.

"Elsa?" she pushed a little harder this time. The door creaked like there was a layer of frost she had to break to get in. Oh wait…Elsa. Push. Elsa. Push. Elsa! Push! ELSA! With one more hard shove there was a crunch and shattering sound as she broke though the ice that had frozen the hinges and fell in through the door.

Anna stood up slowly brushing the snow and ice off her hands and dress and came face to face with a large ice spike that had shot out of the wall. She gasped and looked around the room following the trail of spikes sticking out of the walls and ceiling that got closer together until they all came to a stop, pointing at...

"ELSA!" the Queen was curled up on the floor where she had fallen earlier and was shivering, Anna could hear her teeth chattering from where she stood in the doorway.

"Elsa!" Anna slowly worked her way through the sharp glittering maze towards her sister. "Elsa, can you hear me?" As close as she could get was just out of reach, the tips of her fingers centimeters away from the train of her dress. She bit her lip and looked around for another way to her sister.

"Come one Elsa, wake up. Wake up for just a minute, melt the spikes for me so I can get you some help!"

A bleary blue eye slowly opened, "An…na?" she rasped weakly.

"Elsa!" she reached out again but then pulled back as she felt the spike she was leaning on begin to disappear. The ice didn't disappear in the normally quick receding way that left a light shinning dust, instead it felt like it took hours for a small path to form as the spikes melted, dripping water everywhere. Anna ran over and cradled Elsa's head against her and cringed.

"Elsa, you're burning up!" she said gingerly touching her forehead moving some of her bangs out of the way. She was shaking violently with the chills her teeth still chattering loudly.

"An….na" she groaned again before that one blue eye closed again.

"Elsa!? Alright, we need to get you some help!" Anna was smaller but surprisingly strong and her sister was skinny so it didn't take much to heft her up with one of her arms draped over Anna's shoulders.

However Anna soon gave up trying to drag her sister's dead to the infirmary that way, screw this, I was never one to care about looking like a princess! She scooped Elsa up and carried her bridal style as fast as she dared to the medical wing brushing off servants that tried to help,

"I've got her. Go get a doctor!"

Elsa is the Ice Queen, she's never been sick before and now she's burning with a fever! Oh Elsa…

When she got to the medical wing she gently laid Elsa down on one of the crisp white beds when Eilana burst in through the door looking even more flustered than earlier.

"Princess! Youfoundherohmygoshissheok?" she spat out in one breathless rush running to kneel by Elsa's bed.

"Uh…" Anna blushed because she didn't understand a word of what Eilana had said and because the energetic maid was leaning over the Queen looking like she wanted to stroke her cheek but just barely restraining herself. "Where's the doctor?"

She snapped out of her little daze staring at the queen and spoke at a more controlled speed, "He's on his way. He was on a house call delivering a baby out in the country when the weather suddenly got worse."

"The weather?" Anna strode over towards the window gasping as she pulled back the curtains to see it starting to snow quite heavily. "Elsa…" she turned around to see Eilana practically swooning over Elsa again. "Eilana do you think you could bring me some damp rags, a change of clothes and a glass of water?"

"Oh course your majesty!" she lingered on Elsa just a moment before scurrying out of the room to do her appointed tasks.

Anna sighed and sat down on the bed next to Elsa who whimpered and shivered before wrapping her hot arms around Anna's waist and curling up next to her.

I don't think I've ever felt Elsa this warm before. She frowned and absently stroked Elsa's hair, I don't think I like it very much actually. She's not cold, she's cool and, refreshing when she hugs me. She's just hot and sick right now.

Elsa whimpered again in her sleep hugging Anna tighter making the younger sister smile despite the circumstances. They stayed like that until Eilana returned with the requested items. Anna removing herself from Elsa's grip caused the older girl to let out a small groan and Anna quickly dismissed the servant telling her that they didn't wish to be disturbed unless it was the doctor.

First Anna had to remove Elsa's half melted ice dress (thank goddess she was wearing cloth underwear!) she then washed her sisters gorgeously pale skin with one of the damp rags before putting the nightgown Eilana had brought as fast as possible.

I'm more nervous and embarrassed around her now and she's not even conscious! Get a hold of yourself woman! This is your sister and she's sick. She placed another damp rag on her forehead and then sat at the head of the bed leaning back as Elsa took up her position cuddling Anna's side like earlier.

Anna assumed she had drifted off into sleep because the next thing she knew she was being woken up by a painfully tight grip on her waist.

"Elsa." She grunted struggling out of the sick girl's tight grip. Immediately Elsa whimpered and curled up into the fetal position shaking and thrashing. Having experienced plenty of her own after the incident with Hans Anna realized Elsa was having a nightmare.

"Elsa! Elsa!" a gust of cold wind blew through the room knocking over a few jars and sending some other medical papers stacked on the desk flying. "Elsa!" Anna was almost blown off the bed by the force of the wind and snow. Smirking at the de ja vu this gave her, she took a deep breath before jumping on the thrashing girl grabbing her arms trying to pin her down.

"Elsa! It's just a dream Elsa, you need to wake up! Elsa!" she hissed in pain as Elsa tried to buck her off. Her hands, which Anna had pinned over her head were starting to freeze the headboard and Anna could see tears streaking her face as she cried in her sleep. She was ice cold, but also burning hot with fever at the same time.

"Elsa! Elsa!" she called her sister's name over and over again until she began to calm down.

It looked like the worst was over and she was about to wake up "Elsa?" the Queen groaned and shook her head trying to weakly push Anna off.

"Elsa. Elsa wake up." the older girl's eyes shot up and she sat up quick enough to push Anna off of her and down to the foot of the bed. Her normally clear ice blue eyes were glazed over and, Anna gasped leaning closer.

"Elsa?" she leaned forwards peering into her face. Around the edge of the deep blue of her eyes, was a ring of shinning gold.
