Elsa was making her bed, she always made it herself, because the castle staff never made it the way she liked. She just started pulling the blankets when she heard a tapping at her door. Tap. Tap. Elsa looked at the door. She quickly walked over to her desk and opened a drawer. She searched around in the drawer and grabbed a book. She didn't know if she was being tricked by an attacker. She would use her ice powers, but she didn't feel her arm was up to the task. She shoved the drawer closed. She felt pain surge through her arm. "Ah!" She grabbed her bandaged arm in pain. The book fell to the floor.
Tap. Tap. "Hey, Elsa!" It was Olaf's voice. Elsa sighed in relief and approached the door. She opened the door and looked down to see Olaf with his usual big grin and flurry over his head. "Hi, Elsa!" Olaf said. Elsa smiled at him.
"Hello, Olaf."Elsa said."How are you?"
"I'm great! How are-"He looked at her bandages."Oh my gosh! Your arm! What happened?"
"Oh, yeah."She looked at her arm. She didn't want Olaf to know what happened."Uh, just a little accident."
"Like, what?"And here came the persistent Olaf.
"Uh, just something in the kitchen."
"Like, what?"
"Um,"Elsa thought of something to change the subject,"Do you know if the library is open?
"Oh! I don't know!"Olaf said, forgetting about Elsa's arm."I haven't been paying attention to it, but I can!"
"That's okay, you don't have to. Anyways, I have to get ready for a meeting so..."
"Oh! Okay! See ya, Elsa!"He waved his stick arm and waddled away. Elsa closed the door, relieved that she didn't have to tell Olaf what happened. She didn't want him telling everyone, especially Anna. It was best to keep quiet. But she was still glad it was Olaf, though. She had been getting paranoid the past days.
Elsa walked over to the book and picked it up. She looked at the cover. The title of the book was The Snow Queen."Hm." She put the book down on the desk and walked off to finish making her bed.
Meanwhile,
Anna and Kristoff were speeding towards the Arendalle castle, speeding past unsuspecting people. They finally reached the castle gates, Kristoff pulled on the reigns and Sven came to a screeching halt. One guard jumped out of the way, the other stood relaxed as ever, he was used to crazy things like this happening. Unlike the other guard, who was a new recruit. "Your highness,"he bowed, then straightened up."We have been expecting you."He looked at the other guard lying on his back, staring at the sky with shock on his face. He turned back to Anna and Kristoff."Well, I've been expecting you."He mumbled and smiled.
"Hey, Tom!"Anna said getting out of the sleigh along with Kristoff."Can ya let us in?"
"Yes, your highness."Tom said stepping aside. The castle gates opened. The young guard on the ground stood up and stepped to the side as well. Anna and Kristoff walked inside with Sven behind them, still pulling the sleigh.
"Thanks Tom."Anna said.
"You are welcome, your Highness."Tom said with a bow. Then the gates closed. Kristoff turned to Anna.
"Can you tell me again why you wanted to try ice harvesting?"
"Uhh. Because I wanted to."Anna said.
"Yeah. Ok."
"Hey guys!"Anna and Kristoff turned to the voice. It was Olaf.
"Hi Olaf."Anna said. She faced Kristoff."I don't think that's what you were thinking."She said. Kristoff turned to her.
"What do you mean?"He asked.
"I think, that you think, I can't handle ice collecting."She said.
"What?! No!"He denied.
"Yes you do."
"N-no, I don't."He said.
"You studdered."Olaf said.
"N-no, I didn't."
"Yes you did."
"See, I know you think that."Anna said with a smile.
"Well, maybe a little."He said, his cheeks were getting red.
"Ha! I knew it!"She said hitting him lightly.
"Fine, I admit it."Kristoff said."Your not very good."
"Yeah I need some practice. Once I get that new tool-thingy for you, we can."
"What? No. I'm never letting you touch any tool of mine ever again."
"Oh c'mon. I didn't mean to drop it in the water!"
"Nope, not happening."
"Come on!"
"Anna, we can happily argue about this later. Right now, I need to go deliver this ice around town."Kristoff said pointing at the sleigh. Anna sighed.
"Ok."She said.
"Great."He kissed the top of her head."See ya later."He hopped back into the sleigh.
"Bye."Olaf said. Anna waved.
The guards let Kristoff and Sven through, then closed the gates.
"He left quickly."Olaf said.
"Yeah, well he was supposed to start delivering around seven o' clock. But I think he just wanted to get away from me."
"Oh! I just remembered something, even though I don't have a brain."Olaf said.
"Remember what?"Anna asked.
"Oh, right! Elsa will be happy you're here, I think she wants to see you."
"Thanks Olaf."Anna headed towards the castle entrance, she pushed open the castle doors and disappeared inside the castle. Anna ran up the stairs to Elsa's room. When she reached it she knocked. Knock. Knock. Knock. Nobody answered. "Elsa?" She said nervously.
"Who's there?"Elsa asked nervously from the other side of the door.
"It's me! Anna!"
"Anna!"Elsa said surprised and opened the door to see her sister.
"Hey Elsa."Anna said as she pulled Elsa into a hug. After a few seconds she let go.
"Your back."Elsa said, surprised and happy at the same time."When did you get here?"
"I got here just a few minutes ago."
"I didn't know you'd get back so soon. Did something happen?"
"No, you said we needed to be back in five days, remember?
"What?"Elsa said, confused,"I never said to be back in five days. I thought you were leaving for a week.
"You didn't? But Nigel came down and-"
"Nigel?"Elsa interrupted."The dignitary? He's always making stuff up."
"Really?"Anna asked.
"Yes, I expected you to get back two days from now. But I'm glad you're back."
"Yeah, I'm glad to be back. Kristoff was kinda upset that I lost his ice tool."
"Wait, you lost his pickaxe?"
"That's what it's called! Yeah, I couldn't really lift it, so I accidentally dropped it into a lake."Elsa rolled her eyes.
"Wow, Anna. Just wow."She said sarcastically."So, is Kristoff mad at you?"
"He was but he calmed down, he still hasn't forgiven me, though. I apologized over a million times! I even said I'd buy him a new one. But nope. He just wo..." Anna noticed the bandages on Elsa's arm. She looked at the bandages, then back at Elsa. Elsa noticed this and put her arm behind her back."Uhh, Elsa? What's tha-"
"It's nothing."She said nervously. Frost started forming on the door.
"Elsa, I know it's not nothing."
"There's nothing wrong, really."
"Elsa, there's frost on the door."Elsa looked at the door
"Oh."Her powers always gave it away.
"Elsa."Anna said kindly."You can tell me." Elsa wasn't sure what to say. She didn't want Anna to be worried, but she couldn't lie to her sister. But of course, when was Anna ever worrie. She calmed down a bit and the frost disappeared.
"Fine."She poked her head out past Anna and looked own both sides of the hall, before pulling Anna inside.
"Elsa what're you...?"Elsa closed the door before facing her sister.
"I don't want to talk about it when others can hear."Elsa said."It seems that everyone knows about what happened, even the citizens know, because most of them heard the explosion. I know they want to know what happened. They want to know what made the loud noise. But, I don't want everyone in a panic.
"Wait. An explosion?"Anna said."What happened?"
"Ok."She sighed."Three days after you left...I got a package."
"What was it?"
"It...was a bomb."
"A bomb!"Anna yelled. Elsa covered her sisters mouth.
"Yes, it was a bomb."She said before uncovering Anna's mouth.
"A bomb?"She said."How did a bomb get inside the castle?"
"I don't know, it just did."
"It was from that Nordelle prince again wasn't it?"
"No, in fact, it was addressed from right here in Arendalle."Anna was shocked.
"Why would someone here want to kill you?"
"I don't know. The girl who, supposedly, sent it won't speak with me. She's too scared to talk, I saw the fear in her eyes. I tried to get the council to let her go, but they won't."Elsa explained."I doubt that poor girl sent that package."
"I bet it was that prince that used her address to send it."Anna said angrily.
"That was my guess too, but the council doubts that anyone from Nordelle can get in without the proper paperwork."
"Yeah, well. The council doesn't know everything."
"You're right about that."
"So where did the bomb go off?"
"The library. I was reading, when I got the package."Elsa went on telling Anna what happened."He already put in some stitches but I have to wear the bandages in case it opens up again. But, I should be find."
"That's horrible. Now I feel terrible for not being here. I'm sorry."Anna said.
"It's alright, don't be. You deserve time with Kristoff."
"Yeah, but that's over for now."
"Why, where is Kristoff, shouldn't he be with you?"
"He had to go deliver his ice."
"Oh. Right. Because he is 'Royal Ice Master and Deliverer'."Elsa said mockingly.
"Hey!"Anna said, slightly offended."You made him that!"
"Well, you begged me to give him that title."
"I didn't beg for the title. I asked for it."Elsa chuckled.
"I know, I'm just messing with you."
"I kinda figured you were."
"Then why didn't you say so?"Anna shrugged.
"I don't know."She said."It just slipped, I guess."
"Ok then."Elsa said.
"Say, don't you have a meeting with the council?"Anna asked.
Elsa sighed."Yes, I do."
"And the Nordelle king is coming too isn't he!?"
"Yes, I'm afraid."
"Are you sure you can trust him?"
"Anna, this is just business."
"He could be the one plotting!"
"Anna,"Elsa started.
"Don't deny it!"
"Anna, there are more important things to worry about right now."Elsa said a bit annoyed.
"C'mon, you've got to believe me."Anna said.
"Anna, I have no reason not to believe you."Elsa said."I understand your concern, but I need to focus on the task at hand.
"Right, right."Anna said."Sorry, I guess your not worried about it as much as I am, now that I'm back and hearing about this bomb."
"I never said I wasn't worried. I'm more worried than ever."
"So, putting on a show then? Acting like nothing's happened?"
"If, in fact,"Elsa said."that the king of Nordelle is plotting against me. I want him to see that I am not afraid of him or the prince."
"I see what you're doing there."Anna pointed out."Fool him into thinking he doesn't scare you."
"Yes, even though I am terrified of what's might be next on the king's or prince's list."
"Well, whatever happens,"Anna said grabbing Elsa's hands in hers,"I'm here for ya, sis."Anna smiled, Elsa smiled back.
"Thank you Anna."Elsa said as she wrapped her arms around her sister, Anna doing the same.
"No problem, what're sisters for."They let go of each other.
"I have to get to that council meeting right away."Elsa said moving past Anna and opening the door. Anna turned around and walked with her.
"Hey, can I come watch?"She asked."I've always wondered what it's like in there."Elsa was in the hall and closed the door behind Anna, before facing her.
"Absolutely not."She said.
"Why not?"Anna asked.
"Because, I doubt the council will approve, and you might be distracting."
"Well I gotta be there to support you, don't I?"Elsa thought for a moment.
"Well...I suppose, but just don't interfere with anything, alright. Just watch, Ok?
"Yeah, got it."
"Ok, then. Let's go."They walked down the hall together, heading for the meeting room.
