My version of what would happen if Anna had died from Elsa's frozen heart curse.
"ANNA!"
Elsa stood up and approached Anna who was now a frozen statue, her right arm and hand outstretched from when the girl was trying to block a deadly sword strike meant for her magic sister by her evil, former lover.
The snow queen begged Anna to defrost and live again, to say something like "I'm alright. No big deal." But no avail. She was gone. The very last thing the princess did seconds before freezing to death was save her from Prince Hans' murder attempt on Elsa.
Filled with heavy sadness and tears forming in her eyes, Elsa hugged onto her deceased sister Anna, sobbing on end.
Beside her were three companions who aided Anna on her eventual ill-fated journey: Kristoff, a man whom Anna befriended during her mission of retrieving Elsa from her Ice Castle hideout, Sven, a reindeer that was Kristoff's best friend and Olaf, a snowman whom Elsa had built long ago as a child with Anna and later rebuilt him after her escape from Arendelle when her powers were revealed to the public without her knowledge of him being alive until she saw him in her castle.
From a distance, the foreign dignitaries, the palace guards and servants, all looked on with saddened faces, every one of them being witnesses of the event that transpired upon the frozen fjord.
What they were seeing was strong evidence that, despite Elsa setting off an Ice Age all over Arendelle and her snow magic ending the life of her own sister and their princess, their queen was no monster or witch as described by a certain duke and it allowed them all to realize Elsa's purity from the heartbreaking scene before their very eyes and they all understood that she didn't mean to curse the kingdom or kill her own sister with her magic. If she were evil, then why would she have run off with fear on the night of her coronation or be mourning for Anna right now? Evil people certainly don't do those things.
The guards that were watching now felt incredibly guilty for locking Queen Elsa in the castle dungeon after capturing her and carrying out Prince Hans' order of executing Elsa for what he told them was her committing treason against Arendelle and "murdering" Anna and the dignitaries were regretful for siding with Hans and judging Elsa too fast without knowing all the facts first.
After a few minutes of observance, the dignitaries and guards decided to approach the troubled queen to check on her and see if she would like to return to the castle, not as a prisoner again this time, but as a way of comforting her and keeping her away from Hans now that they were aware of his true nature.
The citizens back in the village and on the bridge also saw what happened from their locations on land. Like them, they too felt sympathy for their queen and knew now that she was not evil and was just misunderstood.
Now that Hans was revealed to be a manipulative liar and his attempt of regicide backed it up, the foreign prince's so-called "marriage" to Anna before her "death" back at the castle and becoming Arendelle's new king was now null and void and everyone's allegiance shifted back to Elsa, assuming she would allow it, that is.
The ice harvester, his reindeer and the living snowman noticed their presence and didn't know how to act in front of the approaching people. They wondered what they could possibly want, knowing it had something to do with Elsa.
Elsa's back was turned to them and didn't notice their presence until the French dignitary spoke.
"Queen Elsa." he said. "We all saw what has transpired out here and we are very sorry for what has happened to your dear sister and for siding with Prince Hans and doubting you."
Elsa didn't move and just kept sobbing.
"If it is alright with you, Your Majesty, we wish to give Princess Anna an honorary funeral and we hope that you will, in time, return to your rightful position as queen of Arendelle." said the French man.
Upon hearing that, Elsa stopped her crying and turned to look at them. Her eyes were horribly red and her cheeks were stained with her tears.
"You . . . you still want me as queen? Even after all of . . . this? But why?" she questioned, waving her right hand around to signify the environmental disaster she caused.
"We know now that your actions were not intentional and we never saw you as some kind of abomination which the Duke of Weselton addressed you as during your coronation party."
Elsa noticed Hans laying still on the frozen ground, a result of striking Anna's frozen form when he was originally aiming for Elsa when she wasn't looking.
"And what of him? Why did he lie to me about Anna being dead earlier and then try to kill me?" Elsa asked, scared to even say his name aloud.
"Prince Hans will be held in the castle dungeon until a proper punishment for him can be decided. As for your question to his actions, We can only decipher that he did it with the intent of taking your place as Arendelle's ruler and to look like a hero to the public for 'saving' Arendelle. He, along with the duke, believed that killing you would remove your winter spell over the kingdom. You see, when Princess Anna returned to the castle after a, sorry to say, accident involving you in the mountains, she begged him to kiss her in order to cure herself of her ailing health because she said that only an act of true love could rid her of her freezing illness and she and Hans had grown to admire each other since their first meeting and we assumed it made sense for Hans to be the only one around here capable of saving her. We gave them some privacy to sort things out and minutes later, he returned to us and said that your magic had already killed her and that he and her had joined together in holy matrimony right before she supposedly expired, meaning that, according to marriage laws when it comes to marrying a royal of any kingdom, he was Arendelle's new king, or so we believed then. His first order, which, other than my comment, I refuse to say is 'official', was charging you with treason and sentencing you to death. Even saying that disgusts me right now. He walked back to your cell, accompanied by some of the guards, to carry out the deed and from what we've seen out here moments ago, we guess that you escaped imprisonment with some help from your magic. As to how Princess Anna ran out here to come to your rescue, we don't really know. You'll have to ask Hans when he comes to since he was the one who lied about Princess Anna dying inside the castle."
Elsa was horrified after learning Hans' reason for being in Arendelle and why he wanted her dead.
"We are so terribly sorry for obeying Hans' order of execution against you, Your Majesty. We hope you can forgive us eventually." one of the guards said. The others agreed with him.
"What about all of the villagers and the castle servants? They probably hate me by now and don't want me around them." Elsa said and wiped her eyes.
"I assure you, my queen, that the kingdom's population no longer fears you and like us, they also know of your good nature and we're certain they'll want you back as their queen, even if your . . . winter curse . . . can't be undone." the French person said.
He reached out his hand to Elsa much to the latter's fear.
"Please, your Majesty. You are the sole heir left around here. Despite how things have turned out, Arendelle needs you. Won't you come back? For your people and your subjects?" he asked.
He, the other dignitaries, and the guards, all knelt before Elsa as proof of their undying loyalty to her, ice magic or not.
Shocked that they were willing to accept her back despite her having magic and causing the freezing accident, Elsa, though still nervous, accepted the offer with a silent nod. She knew they were right. She just couldn't abandon Arendelle.
"Very well. Let's head back to the castle." she said.
The dignitaries helped escort Elsa while the guards carried the unconscious Southern Isles prince with them to be incarcerated in the dungeons for his crimes. They considered placing him in shackles that mirrored Elsa's to see how he liked it. It was a fitting way of holding him.
Kristoff, Sven and Olaf followed them behind as requested by the guards. Due to Kristoff returning Anna back to Arendelle when she was dying, it was the least they could do. As for Olaf, they would need to take some time to adjust to seeing him after some of the guards had a scuffle with her other creation and his brother, Marshmallow, back at her ice castle. One living snowman was frightening enough, but this little guy was unlike his vicious counterpart.
Anna's frozen body was stuck on the ice and could not be moved, so for now, she was left there regrettably. But a note was made to tend to that issue later to prepare for her burial. Right now, getting Elsa to safety was their top priority.
Elsa was nervous and depressed at the same time as she walked across the courtyard and toward the castle where she was now in full view of everyone who were formerly frightened of her. Even the woman with the baby whom Elsa saw at the party was there. This time, she was not afraid of the snow queen.
Every citizen stood and watched the young, walking queen with sadness and pity. Those who wore hats removed them out of respect for the late princess.
Elsa was surprised that nobody was chanting "Witch! Witch! Witch!" and threatening to kill her after what she had done. She noticed looks of sympathy on their faces instead of looks of anger and rejection, just as the dignitaries said. Like what the dignitaries and guards did, each person all bowed their heads to her, showing that they had no ill feelings of her.
"We still love you, Queen Elsa." someone said from the crowd and everyone else agreed with that statement and chanted support for her, telling her that she was a good person and didn't mean to freeze everything and that they were sorry about Anna and that they still wished for her to be their queen again, not giving a damn about the weather.
While still saddened by Anna's death and what she done to everyone, Elsa was very surprised that her people were very understanding of her personal pain and that they still admired her and she was grateful for that somewhere inside.
When the people laid their eyes on Hans just as he was regaining consciousness, rather than saying anything to him, everyone responded by literally turning their backs on their so-called king. Normally, they'd yell and boo at him for his actions and deception, but out of respect for the recently deceased Anna and the grieving Elsa, they restrained themselves and decided to do those things to him next time. Whatever discipline he would receive in the future, each of them hoped it was real good one, something that goes perfectly for a bastard like him.
Hans, confused as to what was going on and why everybody was ignoring him instead of bowing to him, asked about it and one of the guards simply told him to shut his mouth.
Offended, Hans said, "How dare you speak to me in that manner! I am your king and I demand-"
He was interrupted by another guard near him who explained that the whole kingdom knew about his actions and that he was not their king anymore and never was in the first place.
Hans tried to talk his way out of his situation, but the guards ignored him and kept moving with him in tow.
Kristoff and Olaf were close behind, watching the crowd's reaction and realized it was all directed at the evil prince rather than at Elsa.
Entering the castle, Elsa was escorted to the throne room where her coronation party was held on the night of her magical revelation.
The entire place jolted Elsa's memory of the events that night as if it had had happened years back. Her argument with Anna over her request to be married to the man who would eventually become a backstabbing son of a bitch, hearing the Duke of Weselton calling Elsa's powers sorcery (which was technically true) and then calling her a monster afterward when he slipped and fell from Elsa's ice magic when she was scared.
"Would you like something to drink, your Majesty?" one guard asked, snapping her out of her trance.
"Yes. Warm tea, please. I don't really care what flavor." Elsa said. She would have asked for hot chocolate, but it reminded her of Anna for she had a sweet tooth for chocolate as did she such as when the sisters picked up its scent on that night and laughed about it.
"At once, my queen." the guard said and he told a nearby servant to fetch a cup of tea for the queen.
"Are you cold, Your Majesty?" another guard asked.
"No. My magic makes me immune to cold temperatures." Elsa answered as she sat down on her throne, wishing the same could be said about the people suffering from her curse.
Later, the same servant returned with a nice, hot cup of spearmint tea and gave it to Elsa.
"Your tea, Your Majesty. It's spearmint." he said.
"Thank you." she complimented and held the cup in her hands, trying to chill it a little first before drinking it as it was too hot. Everyone nearby saw what she was doing to the cup's contents, knowing why she did that, and didn't flinch, knowing she would never harm them.
Elsa turned and saw some of her guards hauling the struggling Hans inside and toward the dungeon.
The prince spotted Elsa and angrily demanded that she be arrested on the spot, calling her a murderer and a witch from hell that must be exterminated immediately. His outlandish demand was denied when one guard jammed his fist into Hans' stomach as retaliation for his remarks against their queen.
Elsa was in too much grief to order a direct punishment for him right now. She was also traumatized from being locked up in the dungeons herself after the scuffle at her ice castle due to the attempt on her life by the Duke's bodyguards. She even nearly killed them in a fit of rage were it not for Hans talking her out of it.
Elsa hated killing, even if it was against the assassins trying to kill her first. But in a way, those two were asking for it by angering her to the point of fighting back. She pleaded with them to leave her alone, they refused, and that's how it began.
When her tea was no longer hot, Elsa drank it. It was delicious.
For a moment, Elsa remained silent. All she could think about right now was Anna. Her frozen form haunted her mind. First her mother and father and now her. It were as if those close to her were targets of death. Now that she was gone, Elsa didn't know how she could live with herself or if she can handle ruling over a kingdom that was now a shell of its former self. Sure, she had the support of every person in Arendelle as depicted during her walk back to the castle with the exceptions of Hans, the Duke and his bodyguards, (the latter two were also locked in the dungeon after Hans brought Elsa back to Arendelle from the North Mountain after she was knocked unconscious) but she still felt alone in the world now that her only relative was dead. This was going to take a lot of time to adjust to. They say time heals all wounds, but she doubted her wounds would ever heal considering how they were formed in the first place.
Elsa stated to her guards, servants and to the dignitaries that she wanted to head up to her room to have a moment alone to collect her thoughts as she could not think clearly.
"Of course, your Majesty. This is your home and you may do as you wish." one of the dignitaries said.
Elsa thanked that person and got up and started to walk away. Before leaving the throne room, she told the guards and castle staff to tend to the people outside who were in dire need of aid from the effects of the snow curse and that they were all welcome to enter the castle for comfort and warmth if they desired and she left Kai in charge of things in her absence.
The servants and guards complied and went to fulfill her request.
Kristoff, Olaf and Sven entered the throne room and remained where they were, unsure whether to follow Elsa or stay and give the castle employees a helping hand with their tasks.
"Should we go after her?" Olaf asked Kristoff.
"Maybe we should sit this one out. She's in deep mourning right now. When she's ready to come out, we'll talk to her then." said Kristoff.
"If you say so. I'll hide somewhere where nobody will see me. I mean, imagine how they'll react if they saw a walking, talking snowman." Olaf stated.
Kristoff was about to counter when he thought it over quickly. Although Olaf was a friendly creature, people were not yet ready to accept an animate snowman. It might freak them out even more than they already are from Elsa's winter fiasco. They were able to make it to the castle when everyone turned their backs on Hans, allowing the three to slip in unnoticed by anyone other than the staff and guards.
"Okay. I'll go see if I can be of use to anybody while you remain in here." Kristoff said and walked back out the exit. Olaf was alone in the throne room now. He saw some people walking by, gathering supplies and giving out directions and orders to one another.
The butler, Kai, as Elsa called him, noticed Olaf standing by himself. Amazed that his queen was able to bring him to life, he approached the snowman. He was not afraid of him as Olaf and Kristoff figured.
"Hello, little one." he said to Olaf.
Olaf turned around and saw the balding human standing behind him.
"Oh, hi. I'm Olaf. Elsa built me back at the North Mountain although she did it before when she was a little kid." Olaf explained. Because of the depressive state everyone was in, he kept his liking of warm hugs to himself for now.
"Oh. Well, I'm Kai. A faithful servant to Queen Elsa and Pri . . . the late Princess Anna." he said, remembering that Anna was no longer with them.
"Hi, Kai." Olaf said. "So, how long have you known about Elsa's magic?"
Kai rubbed the back of his head. "Well, despite my service to the royal family since the reign of Arendelle's previous rulers, like everyone else, I too was unaware of what she was capable of doing until she was crowned our new queen. Her parents convinced her to stay inside her bedroom when she was a child. Aside from her parents, Queen Elsa had very limited contact with people, even myself. That's pretty much why I didn't know much about her. Her predecessors must have been fearful of anyone discovering their daughter's powers and having to face persecution for it." he said.
"Poor Queen Elsa. With her secret now out in the open and what it did to the kingdom and her sister, she must feel terrible and guilty about it." a female voice called out.
The two turned their heads (Olaf literally turned his head to a full 180 degrees due to him being a snowman) and saw who spoke. It was Gerda, another servant of the castle who, like Kai, had also worked for Elsa's family for years. She too felt sympathy for Elsa and had no grudge against her despite the events that transpired.
"All those years she spent in hiding to protect everyone now seems like it ended in vain." Gerda said. She hated being right about that, but it sounded true.
"I'm hoping I can talk to her when she's had her alone time in hopes of cheering her up." Olaf told them.
"I hope you can. With her being the last of her family, she'll need all the love and support we can offer her. Kai and I both swore an oath long ago to stay loyal to the family and, even in this frightful weather and the loss of our beloved princess, we will continue to honor that promise for the rest of our lives." Gerda stated.
Kai agreed with the woman's words. Elsa may be a sorceress, but she was their sorceress and was a good person and did not deserve abandonment now or ever.
Hi everybody. This is the starting chapter to my first ever story. I'm such a big sucker for Frozen like most of the world is and so, I've decided to start building my fanbase with this story. I've been wanting to tell it to someone ever since I saw the movie and with my recent discovery of this awesome website, I'm finally able to! YAY!
This is my take on how things in the movie might have turned out if Anna had hadn't thawed. It's depressing at first I know, but it's a start and I hope to make it better for all later on. I hope you like it and if you request for more, I'll be happy to oblige.
Please go easy on me since, like I said, this is my first posted fanfiction story and I'm not very familiar with how things work on this site.
Thank you.
