A knock on the door.

"Your Majesty?" Kai was outside. A few more knocks but no response. Anna woke up silently, startled by Kai's knocking. She stayed down on the floor as to hide from Kai. He would not want her in here. Kai opened the door carefully. He walked over to check on the queen. Anna listened carefully

"Oh dear. Your Majesty? Elsa?" Kai's voice trailed away. He quickly exited the room. Anna got up and looked at Elsa. There was no rise and fall in her chest. Her cheeks were too flushed. Her head was boiling just like in Anna's dream. She tried waking her up but there was no response. Anna bit her lip. She was worried. She sat on Elsa's bed and stayed with her until Kai came back.

"Princess! What are you doing here?" He asked baffled. Anna jumped at his remark. Her eyes widened.

"Something's wrong with Elsa!" she said gesturing towards her sick sister. Kai's heart warmed a little at the sight of Anna caring for her sister. But the feeling quickly turned into one of urgency.

"Yes, we are getting a doctor immediately. But it would be better if you weren't here, for your own sake," Kai said guiding Anna to the door. Anna stopped in her tracks.

"No! She's my sister, I have to stay. Please, Kai," Anna retreated back to her spot next to Elsa. Kai sighed. He resigned from the argument and scurried into the hallway to organize the commotion. Anna sat still keeping an eye on her sister. Once the doctor arrived, everyone had to leave the room for a bit. Anna refused at first, but then conformed with the rest of the servants, seeing as she would not win over the situation.

"Princess Anna, please, I think it best you take some time to relax. We will let you know anything new about Elsa," Gerda held Anna's hand. Anna looked down grudgingly realizing how tired she was. She smiled sweetly at Gerda and glumly walked away from the area. She went to go get dressed. As soon as she had braided her hair, she swiftly left her room in order to try and distract herself from her sister. She never thought that would be a goal of her's. She found herself sitting on one of the couches in the Great Hall, falling asleep. As she noticed herself dozing off, she returned to her bedroom and fell asleep on her bed.

Around an hour later, she found herself being tugged at. She tried to ignore it, whatever "it" was by shooing it away with her hand. The tugging stopped. For a bit. then the tugging became more like pushing and Anna was too bothered to ignore it. She rolled around to the other side of the bed to see who was bothering her. She met eyes with Kristoff who was nudging her to wake up.

Anna smiled and eagerly sat up in her bed. She stretched her arms, still not remembering about Elsa.

"Slept well?" Kristoff asked with a smirk on his face. He was looking at Anna's hair. Even when it was in braids, it still managed to become a nest for birds. Anna started yawning as she responded and the whole sentence got muddled into one big wavering yawn. Kristoff raised an eyebrow. "...right. Sorry for leaving you yesterday," He looked down at the floor, slightly ashamed.

"Yeah, why did you guys leave?" Anna jumped from her bed and started to untangle the mess that was her hair, as she paced the room. Kristoff stared at her as she paced. Then looked down again.

"Well, it's a long story…" Anna stopped, and glared at Kristoff, hoping he hadn't done something to Olaf, or gotten into trouble. He sighed. "Olaf said he was reading a book in Elsa's study about some old stories. He told me he got scared and never wanted to go back into the mountains and so I thought 'Let's take him into the mountains!'" Kristoff's voice trailed off in embarrassment. He didn't look up, but he felt Anna's glare. She walked over to him and put a hand on his arm. He looked up to see her smirk amusedly at him. "So we went up near the North Mountain. There was nothing there of course. But it sure was a long trip. We didn't get back until this morning. Nothing special," He shrugged.

"Well at least nothing bad happened, right?" Anna tried cheering. Kristoff smiled at her. Just as he was about to grab her hand, the door opened. Gerda barged into Anna's room out of breath as if she had ran up as quickly as possible. She paid no mind to any private conversation Anna and Kristoff could have been having.

"Princess...it's Elsa," Gerda stood at the doorway almost trying to guide Anna to her sister with her stare. Anna's eyes widened with fear. She ran off without waiting for either Kristoff or Gerda to accompany her. Kristoff started getting anxious he ran off after her with Gerda following shortly behind him.

Anna broke through the small crowd of servants. There was a painful knot forming in her throat, and a floating feeling in her stomach. The door was slightly open. She pushed it open and saw a man dressed very formally sitting beside Elsa in a wooden chair. He had a leather notebook in his hands which he seemed to handle with excessive care and glasses with a thin golden rim at the edge of his straight nose. He looked up from his journal, saw Anna standing in the doorway and quickly got up to bow. Anna didn't pay attention to him and quickly rushed to her bed-ridden sister who looked even worse than she did in the morning.

"Princess, I'm glad you came. There are things you should know about Her Majesty's condition," He spoke in a stern voice, that was strangely calming. Anna looked up from her sister to see the man offering her a seat. She hesitated at first but quickly sat down beside Elsa on the opposite side of the bed from where the doctor was sitting. "I apologize for not introducing myself. My name is Axel Rasmussen. I was told Her Majesty was feeling ill. She is breathing subtly, I almost thought that she wasn't breathing at all. She has a virus of a sort. It is nothing I've ever seen before. It could be fatal," Axel paused to leave room for Anna to breath. "What I think she might need is a special herb. I can prescribe it to her, but it is very hard to obtain,"

Anna sat still as the man explained everything to her. She was a statue made of fears. She could barely breath as she heard about her sister's condition. She opened her mouth to say something but her words were stuck in her throat. Axel noticed her discomfort, and forced himself to smile at her. He was obviously a very serious man. But somehow his forced-on smile still managed to somewhat comfort Anna. Now she managed to get some words out. It wasn't usual that Anna was left without words.

"I...is there anything I can do?" Anna choked on the final words of her question but still managed to get them out of the way. She had been staring down the entire time and now lifted her head to look at the sophisticated doctor. The man paused a second before giving the girl directions. He was trying to phrase his words as best as he could.

"The herb is rare, but can be found in the forest," Axel got up from his chair and started pacing the room. "It grows deep in the woods. A plant with blue leaves, and sharp edges. If you can find that, it would be possible to cure her of her illness," The man stopped pacing, looking up from the floor. He glanced at Anna who had now turned to Elsa. He swallowed hard, feeling empathy for the princess. She looked so miserable. Anna took a deep breath to hold back some tears. Then she turned again to Axel who was standing still in the same place. She hardened her stare. Although she looked flushed, Anna was determined. Finally she said something.

"Thank you, Mr. Rasmussen," Anna stood up, taking a final look at her sister. Elsa looked peaceful, besides the fact that she was ill.

"It is the least I can do, Princess," Axel bowed again and left the room. Anna bit her lip nervously. I can do this. She said to herself.
