The Ice Behind Bars

Chapter I : The Accident

The beautiful aurora lights were shining brightly above the kingdom of Arendelle. In the tremendous dark sky, the aurora lights were dancing on silent lullabies next to sprinkles of white shining shyly around the moon. A four years old, strawberry-blond pigtails haired bundle of joy with beautiful fair skin and light freckles that dusted her rosy chubby baby cheeks was sitting on a mattress right below the bedroom window. Her big, wide and curious blue-grey eyes gazed at the strange lights with awe. A radiant, lips apart and toothy smile appeared on her face. She turned from the window to look around the room, and her eyes landed on a small figure that was sleeping in a big blue bed. "Elsa!" She whispered while she got down from the mattress and ran towards her sister's bed. She climbed the bed and shook her sister to wake her up. "Elsa, look look look! There are ghosts in the sky!"

A six years old girl with platinum hair that looked almost white under the bright moonlight and light freckles barely visible under her pale skinned cheeks, opened her sleepy eyes tiredly and slowly and revealed azure blue eyes that almost looked cyan. "Anna, I'm tireeed! I wanna sleep." Elsa groaned before she closed her eyes again.

"Elsaaaaaa!" Anna whined at her sister before she started bouncing on her. "You have to see this!"

"Uughh! Fine." Elsa opened her eyes again and lifted herself in a sitting position "What is it?" She said while she rubbed her left eye with her left hand.

Anna quickly grabbed Elsa's right arm. "Come on come on come on!" She pulled her sister from her right hand , off the bed and towards the window. "Look!" She said while she pointed at the strange lightsthat were dancing in the black sky.

Elsa giggled at her sister's imagination. "Anna, those are not ghosts!... Hehe… Those are Aurora lights!" Her mother, Queen Aphrodite of Arendelle, once told her about what those strange lights were, when she was only three years old.

"Aulola lights?!" Anna asked curiously.

"Aurora, Anna …Au…rrrrooo…rraa!" She said before she laughed at her sister. "Mommy said that they only appear when all the people of Arendelle are happy! So it means Papa is a good king. And these lights carry our dreams!" She said enthusiastically.

"Waaawww!" Anna gazed at the lights before an idea popped into her mind. She suddenly gasped as an idea clicked in her mind.

Elsa quickly looked at her sister in wonder. "What?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.

Anna leaned forward to Elsa's ear and whispered, "Do you wanna build a snowman?!"

Elsa's eyes widened. "I… I don't know Anna , papa will be angry if we did!"

Or worse. She thought.

"Ahh come on Elsaaa! He only gets angwy-"

"Angry." Elsa corrected

"-Angry… Only if we do something wrong… Besides, he is sleeping!" Anna reasoned before she started pulling her sister's sleeve, "Pleaseeeee?"

"I don't know Anna, that's the point… He... He hates my magic. And what if he... You know... Hurt us or something." Again

"Elsa, come on! He only did it once when you froze his crown-"

"Accidentally." Elsa reminded.

"Yeah but… He apologized the next day, right? If anything happens, Mama will hide us in her secret spot, remember!? Then, when he's no longer angry, we'll come out!" Anna said.

Mama always tries to hide me from him. Elsa thought.

"Anna… He always gets-" harsher "-angrier at me than you." Elsa argued.

"Pleaseeeeeeeeee?!"

Elsa sighed. "Fine..."

"Yeayyy!" Anna yelled right before her sister's hand came to her mouth and covered it so she doesn't wake-

him

"Keep it down, remember? But i'm telling you, if we get caught, I'm blaming you." Elsa whispered and Anna nodded then crossed her heart with her tiny finger.

"Okidoki!" Anna

"Well what are you waiting for? C'mon!" Elsa pulled her sister and they ran out of their room.

They looked around and made sure the coast was clear then at each other.

"To the Ballroom!" Anna whispered while her index finger was held up high, claimed victory and resulted in a silent giggling Elsa.

They bursted inside the ballroom. Anna first, Elsa next who then closed the door behind them.

"Magic magic magic!" Anna shouted excitedly who is no longer in the sneak out game.

"Okay! Are you ready!?" Elsa replied while she conjured a snowball in her hand. Tiny blue flurries hovering around the already floating snowball between her hands.

Anna nodded quickly, an excited look on her face and readied herself for what was coming.

Elsa threw her hands in the air and the snowball flew to the ceiling before it exploded. The results was a small slow snowfall. Both sisters held their hand in the air and tried to catch the snowflakes.

"Watch this! I learned to do it yesterday when Papa wasn't here." Elsa said, and before Anna could reply, Elsa tapped her foot on the ballroom floor and suddenly, ice started to cover the ballroom floor. Anna gasped as she looked at the now-smooth icy floor that almost looked as if it was covered with a huge blue well-ironed satin sheet. The two girls played around the icy wonderland, and Elsa can only hope that the summer heat would thaw the room before anyone wakes up tomorrow morning.

Elsa happily built a snowman with her bare hands using the piles of snow around. "Look!" Elsa called.

"Awhhh! He is so cuuuute! What's his name?" Anna asked.

"Hello! my name is Olaf, and I love warm hugs!"

"I like him." Anna said with a smile.

Elsa laughed before both girls hugged the snowman together, in which after that, Anna shivered, but unlike Elsa, she was completely comfortable.

The cold never bothered me. Poor Anna.

An hour have passed and Anna started to get bored, so she started to do some stunts around the snow. As their laughter of glee grew louder, both became oblivious to the waking of both the king and queen, their father and mother.

"Elsa, Elsa catch me!" Anna called happily.

"Hang on!... Here ya go!" Elsa conjured a snow cliff for her sister to land on.

Anna kept bouncing from one cliff to the other, faster, higher. Elsa started to realize that her sister was going too fast.

"Hey! Slow down!"

Then suddenly the king and queen burst inside the room. "Elsa, what are you doing!?" Yelled the angry king.

Elsa gasped in shock and terror. An expression of fear splashed on her face as she darted her eyes from the king's furious expression and her mother's concerned one. Oh no! Elsa was too startled by her parents' sudden presence and forgot about her sister who was still bouncing. When the king started to walk towards her, she knew what was coming next. No, please! She thought, frightened, as she held her hands up defensively. She suddenly heard Anna shouted another "Woooooooo!" excitedly. As soon as Anna jumped, Elsa realized that she didn't conjure a cliff for her to land on. She forgot about her father and turned to try and save Anna before she could collapse to the ground and hurt herself. She was too confused and scared to think about what to do. Help Anna or hide from Papa? As she was trying quickly to decide, her father yelled "Come here you!". Elsa's eyes started darting from Anna to her father. Anna papa Anna papa... Anna or hide... Anna and get hurt... "Elsa!" Her mother called utterly worried. Anna papa Anna papa AnnapapaAnnapapaAnnapapa! Her horrified eyes darted from Anna to her father incredibly fast and didn't witness that her mother was running towards her to protect her. Her mind already deceived her clumsy legs, "ANNA!" She yelled, but before she could react, she slipped and landed on her back side and didn't notice that ice shot out of her left hand and hit Anna's head.

"NO!" Her mother shrieked.

Elsa quickly got up to her feet and started running towards Anna's motionless body. Her worry for her sister have blinded her to see that her father was very, very close in grabbing her. "Anna!" She cried for her sister.

Oh no! Please no!

Just when she was about to kneel next to her sister, the king grabbed her from her arm harshly and pushed her roughly out of his way so he could examine Anna while it resulted in a falling Elsa. Her mother ran to her and helped her up, both fear splattered on their face. Mama, please help Anna!... Help me! She tugged herself to her mother's cloak and hid her face from shame. But what came after that made her shiver in fear.

"What have you done!" Yelled the king.

"I'm sorry I-i-i'm sorry I'm sorry, I d-didn't mean to-... I was trying to h-h-help her. I'm s- sorry Papa!" As she tried to say the words through her sobs, she hid behind her mother and closed her eyes while she waited desperately,helplessly in terror. For her father was about to hurt her.

Aphrodite tried to hide Elsa behind her and tried to reason with her raged husband. "Please Jamie, it was just-" Before she could continue, the king pushed his wife away roughly and she landed on the icy floor. His eyes full with rage and hatred "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?" He yelled again louder. Aphrodite couldn't believe what she saw. His voice was so loud, so thunderous, that she couldn't concentrate on what he had said, only the tone in which he had said it. He had become a whole different person. His shiny, grey eyes had twisted into a dark and gloomy black. His eyes narrowed and his teeth clenched together. His hands fist in rage. He was about to hit her daughter with full strength. He is not going to hit her, he is going to kill her! She thought as she quickly got up and ran towards him then stopped herself half way.

"Papa, I'm sorry! Please p-please sorry, sorry, sorry!" cried Elsa desperately. Her eyes still were closed, her hands clutched to her chest, she was breathing fast, too fast and a shiver struck her from her neck and all the way down her spine. She bit her lip hard enough that a small amount of blood appeared. Please...

None of them noticed the ice that started haunting the walls of the ballroom and the spikes that grew out from the corners and pointed at her father. The room's temperature dropped dramatically fast.

Here it comes... I'm sorry Anna.

Just when He held his fist up, before it came with full strength and speed towards the little crying, helpless six year old girl, the king's hand was yanked with the queen's sharp pointed crown. The king yelped in pain, and held his fist with his other hand while he looked around for the attacker. His rage started to disappear to oblivion when his eyes landed on his wife. He saw something he never saw before. Her face was so unnaturally neutral and her back as straight as an arrow. She looked so rigidly and emotionless at him, yet he can still see a glimpse of fear in her green eyes. He then looked back at his injured and bleeding hand.

"Jamie..." Aphrodite said coldly. But before she knew it, her face dropped from glazed to horrified. What have I done? She ran towards her husband and stood between him and Elsa. She had to convince him to spare Elsa. She had to save Anna. She had to wake him up. "Jamie, w-we have to save Anna now! Do you remember the t-troll! He can help. He can save her before it's too late- Look at me!" She didn't mention Elsa cause she knew it would have only resulted in the reappearing of his demon.

Elsa fell to her knees and cried her heart out. Out of grief for her sister? Out of happiness for her mother's action to save her? Out of fear from her father? She didn't know, she just wanted to cry.

Aphrodite sneaked a peak at his hand. It was barely bleeding. Her crown's sharp edges only resulted in a scratch. A scratch that saved her daughter's life. And boy how much she wished for more than a scratch.

The king lifted his head, and his wide-eyed, confused face met his wife's concerned one. He then snapped out of it and stood straight in front of his wife. Luckily, he barely saw Elsa, but he gave her a disgusted and angered look, then looked back at his wife and nodded. Aphrodite let out a huge sigh of relief, and then both her and her husband ran towards Anna. When he held Anna in his arms they exchanged concerned looks as they saw the new white streak of hair. "The library! The Map! You left it in the Troll's book." Aphrodite reminded. He nodded passed her over Anna, and ran out of the ballroom and up to the library.

While Aphrodite waited for him to come back, Anna in her hand, she then realized that the room was an ice cube now. Scary looking spikes grew in the corners that she knew expressed Elsa's fear and anger. And only then did Elsa's sobs brought her back to reality. Elsa! She looked quickly around the room and saw her daughter on the floor, shaking from fear, hands on her face to hide herself desperately with anything.

Elsa really wished for the secret spot her mother had been hiding her in when her father's mind was in limbo.

Aphrodite ran towards her shaking daughter, knelt next to her and wrapped her in a hug in which Elsa didn't refuse at all. Elsa quickly wrapped her hands around her mother's waist and cried. "Mama, I'm s-sorry I'm sorry I d-d-didn't mean to h-hurt Anna it was an-" Elsa was shaking non-stop, afraid and she couldn't hold the sobs anymore. "Shhh..." Aphrodite comforted her. She rested her chin on her daughter's platinum head, and her eyebrows furrowed in concern. "Everything will be fine, I promise. I will get you out of this"

I will get you out of this nightmare. I will! Oh please, Robin... Please be there. I hope my plan works. I promise, I will keep you safe. I will get you out of this nightmare, both of you. My daughters.

Three figures laid on the icy ground while they hugged each other. Not a queen and her princesses, but a mother and her daughters. As they wait for him to come back with the map, all Aphrodite could do was to pray for her plan to work, and all Elsa could do was to pray for her sister's well being.

I will protect you whatever it takes.

The snow around them started to melt very slowly, but was it due by Elsa's control or the hot summer temperature. Elsa heard her mother mumbled something but she couldn't understand it through her sobs. Aphrodite glanced around the room from under her bangs.

"We started dying like the snow. And like the snow, we started to fall."
