Author's Note: Here's the second chapter, as requested! Please let me know what you think!
P.S. This Elsa is right after the death of her parents. Before her coronation.

Killian stood abruptly and drew his sword, shining snowflakes falling on the outstretched blade. Emma stood up behind him and he held out his hook in front of her protectively. Elsa didn't seem fazed. Her smirk still dawned on her lips and her right hand casually twirled a piece of ice she had conjured up. The wind picked up and surrounded them in a swirling gust.
"I see you've found a new life. Now I'm here to destroy yours, just as you did mine," she snarled. Killian moved directly in front of Emma now, challenging her to go through him to get to his love.
"I'm a different man, Elsa. Please, I'm sorry for what happened," he begged helplessly. He knew his sword was no match her-she was much too powerful. A single tear escaped the Snow Queen's eyes, but she quickly recovered.
"Nothing you could ever say would make me forgive you, Hook."
Emma's hurt lurched. Her walls had gone back up, but she was not letting him die on her. She need an explanation. She still loved him. Her emotional scars were just too much.
She stepped out from behind Killian, determined. "You'll just have to listen to me, then."
A bitter laugh escaped Elsa's mouth. Emma had no idea what their history was, but she had a better chance against this Snow Queen than a one-handed pirate. Killian looked at her, pleading and nervous. He couldn't lose her. He had just gotten her. After all that chasing...no. He had to trust her, like she trusted him. Her magic had returned. The Savior could defeat her.
Emma matched Elsa's smirk and a white flame appeared in her hands. She threw it at Elsa, but it was flicked away as if it was nothing. Her mouth agape, Emma tried again, but it still failed to do any damage. The flame simply vanished as the ice met it. Who is this girl? Emma thought. She didn't know what else to do. Regina hadn't taught her everything, and what she had been was in that bizarre language. Maybe I'm not cut out for this.
Before another thought formed in her head, Emma was blasted back and landed roughly on the cold wooden dock. She let out a groan as Killian swiveled around and yelled, "Emma!" but the wind was knocked out of her and she had no chance of defending him.
"Now, then," Elsa taunted, "Say goodbye to your love, Hook, while she still thinks so highly of you. No doubt her mind will change once she knows the truth."
Before he could manage a word, the Snow Queen stretched out her hands, and ice began to cover the pirate-no, the hero. No matter what he'd done, Killian was a hero. Emma screamed in anguish as Killian became encased in a block of ice. His pained expression was frozen in place. Her Killian was frozen-gone.
The blizzard came down harder and obstructed her view. The winds whipped her face as she tried to stand, but as soon as she did, the wind settled, the snow stopped, and they were gone.
Killian.
Emma sank back to her knees and punched the dock as hard as she could manage. Her hand stung. Her blouse was wet from the snow and she tugged on her sleeves, still shivering from the Snow Queen's appearance. Tears, once again, poured from her eyes. It felt as if she'd been sitting there for hours, face in hands, when she heard footsteps on the dock.
"Emma? What's going on? Where's Hook?"
Emma looked up at the familiar voice. David-no...Charming. No...Dad. He stood over her, his face full of concern. He waited for her response, but she found no words. Only tears. He sank to his knees and held her face, kissing her forehead. "What happened?"
"...h-he's...gone...I just g-got him," she stammered out, and fell into his arms. Her blonde hair fell in waves across his shoulder.
"How?" he inquired, after they had sat in silence for a few moments. She gazed at him, and her tears vanished, replaced with a flushed face. Her anger overtook her.
"Elsa."
