A/N: Hey guys! I hope you enjoyed my first chapter of "Invisible Frost" and here's the second one! I apologize that this chapter is a little shorter than my first one!


Elsa watched as the footprints of ice began to slowly come closer, and closer.

"Who are you?" she asked firmly and stared fixedly where the person would be if she could see them.

Only the wind whispered back while she suddenly felt a wave of cold wash over her. She blinked and her eyes wavered as she lowered her gaze and stared at her hands.

I've never felt cold by my own powers, she thought, and then raised her eyes again and a quiet gasp escaped her lips. The thought came to her that it wasn't she who caused the windows to frost over, or the room to creep with ice; it was this person who was here with her.

The mysterious stranger came closer to her and stopped. Even though they were invisible, she somehow sensed a person standing only centimeters from her face. She uncomfortably turned her head away and tried pressing against the door trying to be as unnoticeable as possible. She flattened herself alongside the door and wished she could just slip right through it.

She breathed out a shaky breath which she realized she'd been holding, afraid she would disturb the thing in front of her with the cloud of vapor that was inevitably formed. She was scared. What did this thing want? Was it going to harm her? She could only hope that whatever it was, it had no intention of hurting her, or anyone in the castle for that matter. Her thoughts drifted to questioning Anna's safety when simultaneously, a voice echoed through her head.

Can you see me?

Elsa started and was about to look back at the trespasser when suddenly, the door she was leaning against swung open and she tumbled backwards, landing with a thud on the ground.

"Ouch…"

"Elsa!"

The queen rubbed her lower back, and looked up to see an Anna who was leaning over her knees with a look of worry on her face.

"I'm really sorry," she said, and offered a hand to help her sister up.

Elsa took her hand and was brought upright while Anna gave her a smile.

"It's okay..." Elsa said slowly, eying her with a quizzical look.

"What's wrong with the door?" Anna asked looking around Elsa's shoulder.

Elsa's eyes danced to where she knew the person was still standing, to the door covered with a thin layer of frost. "It was me," she said hastily. Smoothly and hurriedly, she twirled her hand making the icy rime disappear.

The reason why there was ice there in the first place was because she was scared and had no control over her powers, so it wasn't a lie. She was also terrified of what she had just experienced and still felt uneasy. Nonetheless, Elsa returned her gaze to her sister and asked, "Why did you come back down?"

Anna held her hands behind her back while twisting her foot on the ground looking embarrassed.

"I felt guilty about leaving you down here all by yourself," Anna said to which caused Elsa to form a small smile.

"Anna, I told you I'd take care of it."

"Yeah, but-"

Elsa gave her a look and the younger one shut her mouth after that. If Anna knew two things about her sister when she gave a look like that, those would be: don't argue, and I love you, so it's okay.

Anna breathed out a sigh which felt like she was blowing out all her guilt, and took Elsa by the hand. "Do you wanna get some chocolate?" She sang and Elsa couldn't help but laugh at her sister who could change from such a serious discussion to chocolate in a flash.

"Of course," Elsa said, and squeezed her hand while almost giving her an Eskimo kiss with an immense smile on her face.

She didn't ignore what happened minutes ago, and as they walked down the hall, she glanced back warily and sensed the person finally exiting in what Elsa's felt was a rush, but not before leaving a scratched-in staff on the frost-covered door as if a memoir of its visit.

Anna looked at her sister curiously and followed her gaze to the room where she didn't see anything (as the drawing quickly vanished once the suspect left the room).

"Elsa?"

Elsa turned her head to her sister, "Hm?"

Anna stared at her sister for a moment. She noticed before when she asked what was wrong with the door that she looked two places before she made the ice disappear and she wanted to know why. Was something wrong?

Anna shook her head. "No, it's nothing," she said, deciding to leave it for now, and they continued to walk to their hidden stash of chocolate.


In the morning, Elsa woke up early to take refuge in her study. She walked along her bookshelves and trailed her fingers along the spines of the old-woven books. She sighed as her fingers touched the mythology filled book with her curse in its bindings and after a moment of staring at it with melancholy, she left her books and sat down at her desk.

Next, she tended to some necessities like checking the taxes and signing some trading papers. She worked for hours and finally, she breathed out a sigh and stretched her arms high above her head. Just as she did so, the door opened to her study with a gust of cold wind. The queen stared at the door with astonishment and slowly lowered her arms and rose from her seat.

She advanced to the door and checked to see if anyone was there before carefully closing it. She was about to leave when she noticed frost covering the panels of the door and a small staff carved into the film.

A chill went up her spine, and she let out a breath of bewilderment. "Just what is this?" She asked out loud. She shook her head with a small laugh, "If someone is following me, I'd like you show yourself!" Her eyes flared with a temper, but nothing happened.

She almost felt disappointed. No, why would I be disappointed? I'm relieved no one's there… right?

Elsa wasn't so sure anymore –maybe she was disappointed because she knew that this thing wanted her attention and she couldn't seem to grasp what she was missing. Although, maybe she just hoped that whatever was trailing her would stop sooner than later before something else happened… like her powers swinging out of control and almost killing someone again.

Of course Else was curious as to why these things kept happening to her, but what could she do if the force didn't want to be seen or found? All she could do was try to get her mind off it, and that was easy with the amounts of work she had.

It was breakfast time and the two sisters sat together in the dining room.

"Can't we get a smaller table?" Anna asked as her sister picked up a piece of egg with her fork and started to nibble on it.

Elsa put down her fork and looked at Anna from across the table. The table was lined with every sort of breakfast item you could think of including bacon, eggs, pancakes, waffles, strawberry sauce, and whipped cream (traditional American was the theme or so they were told). Though, that wasn't even half of what was on the table. The joke-of-a-table was two-thirds (length-wise) the size of the entire room, and the room was almost the size of the gallery which was pretty large compared to their rooms.

Anna and Elsa sat on either ends.

Elsa finished chewing her food and swallowed before replying, "This was the table our parents ate at and they wanted us to keep it in the will, remember?"

"I just don't understand whyyy," Anna whined and Elsa laughed behind her hand like she always did.

"I don't either, but let's just keep it, okay? Then we don't have to worry about getting a larger table if you and Kristoff decide to… I mean, if you want to…" Elsa couldn't finish her sentence as a bright pink flushed across her cheeks, and even from where Anna sat she could see that her sister's face was bright pink.

As she tried to unsuccessfully cover it, Anna smirked, "Decide to what? Hm, hm?" Anna teased her dear sister, and laughed until Elsa's entire face was red.

"D-Decide to have children!" Elsa said, flustered.

Anna stopped laughing and looked at her sister 'seriously'. "We're not in any rush, ya know."

Elsa rested her elbow on the table shaking her head in her hand. "I know that! I mean, -she sighed- I know that. You just –you could've told me that earlier before-" she couldn't finish what she was saying, being the flustered mess she was and her expression only showed just how much she couldn't believe how her sister made her say that. What a total stinker! She thought sourly.

Anna, without realizing her sister's bitterness continued as if nothing happened, "Well, what about you, huh," Anna asked, and something pricked in Elsa's chest.

Elsa looked down at her plate, deciding she had lost her appetite suddenly. "No one would want to have child with someone like me," she said quietly, but Anna could still hear her and couldn't believe it.

"Well, you know, if we weren't related and all and I was maybe a guy; I'd love to have children with you! I mean, we could have small, frosty kids of our own. Oh man, that sounds weird, but I just really love you, so I say that," the younger sister rambled, getting a little embarrassed by her own words. She gave a small, awkward smile to Elsa who may have been too distracted by her hands to notice the reassurance that was hidden in her smile.

"I know what you mean, Anna, and I appreciate it, although, I'm pretty sure no one would love someone like me with these powers that could freeze them if I lost-"

"Love will thaw a frozen heart, Elsa." Anna said, and added, "Oh! And I know plenty of people who like you." She gained some of her energy back as she realized she could back up her offer.

Elsa picked up her fork again and swung it around unenthusiastically "Oh yeah, who?" She said and looked at the fork with much more interest than hearing her sister's answer because she already knew it.

"All of-"

"'All of Arendelle.' Anna, is that what you were going to say?" she asked, and her sister gave her a small pout. Anna crossed her arms over her chest. "One celebration doesn't clear up everyone's thoughts about me from before I found out how to control my powers." Elsa said sadly, and paused before adding, "Fear doesn't just disappear, Anna."

There was a huge amount of pain in Elsa's eyes and Anna saw it. She knew how Elsa thought of herself, and in her defense, it was all for the protection of her people. It wasn't her fault she was cursed with her powers, and it wasn't her fault if her emotions got the best of her. Everyone needed to forgive and forget. Everyone needed to remember that they are all humans with their own faults and miseries.

Her mouth opened with hope to say something to cheer her sister up, but then it closed again, hesitating while the words tried to form sentences in her head and by the time she had sorted them out, it seemed there was no one to hear what dreamful wisdom she had to share. Anna's eyes fell to her lap and she slumped back down against the back of the chair. After a while, she picked herself up and started to eat again.

Elsa had returned to the study to do paperwork, leaving Anna alone in the dining hall. She regretted leaving Anna alone to eat by herself –just as Anna did when she left the night before, but it was unfair she thought that she had to repeat to Anna the painful Truth.

What Anna said yesterday was exactly what she thought.

Can't I just stop being queen for one day? All I ask for is one day. Unfortunately, she knew her wish couldn't come true and she continued to work and work and work.

It was past dinnertime and after an awkward lunch and dinner with Anna, Elsa couldn't help the eyelids that began to grow heavier and heavier by the second, and as she worked on even more papers she suddenly let sleep take control and fell over exhausted on her desk with her arms hanging off the edge in front of her.


"Hey, what do you think you're doing?!"

"What do you mean, 'what do you think I'm doing'? I'm waking up the queen, so she can stop this madness. We already put up with it once; we don't need her screwing us over again!"

Is that… Kai's voice? Who is the other one? Elsa mumbled and was suddenly brought back to the living when someone shook her violently to wake her.

"Queen Elsa!" Elsa heard Kai's voice and her eyes flipped open to a man who was standing in front of her desk.

The man looked to be in his late twenties and he had a red shirt on visible from underneath his olive-green jacket which was hardly an excuse for a jacket, seeing that it was barely keeping this man from all the snow that had glued itself onto the clothing. The man had a medium-length beard filled with frost and a little, brown, tightly-snug hat on his head. He was very large and muscular -someone Elsa did not want to get on the wrong side of, but it seemed she might be a little too late.

Then, something struck her. Wait. Snow?

"What… what is going on?" Elsa said worriedly, and saw the man give a huff as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"Just look what you did to Arendelle!" He said, and gestured to the glass door of her balcony.

Elsa got up, spinning around to see what she had dreaded seeing the second she saw the man. Outside, the balcony was filled half-way up with snow. It piled up against the door, keeping it shut and providing condensation on its surface. Off in the distance, she could see snow heaped in mounds on the docks and ice seizing the boats that once sailed there gracefully.

Did I do it again? Did I cause another eternal winter for Arendelle?
