Hello guys. Thanks for some of the positive feedback. In this chapter Elsa is 5 and Anna is 2.

A couple of years flew by and the kingdom couldn't be happier. Their beloved King and Queen had two beautiful daughters and the Queen was expecting another child once again. Everyone predicted that the next child would be a healthy little boy. At long last Arendelle would have not only a Prince but also an heir to the throne.

Idun stepped out from behind the gates with her husband and children to greet the people and accept their congratulations. Her lower belly was showing slightly from underneath her dress, but her smile never faded for one bit. For the first time in a long time, everything felt so right. Agdar was acting like he used to before Elsa was born, smiling and holding her hand, even occasionally kissing her on the cheek. Today she truly did feel like a Queen.

Elsa followed behind her parents, holding Anna's hand as they walked through the streets. She was excited about today because her father had set her in charge of her little sister. She was to hold her hand wherever they went and keep a good eye on her to make sure she didn't get lost. It was a great responsibility and Elsa was determined to show her father that she could handle it. It would be an easier job if Anna weren't always trying to pull away to stop and look at every little interesting thing they passed by.

As they all passed by a small stand that was selling sweets, Anna let out a small whine and tugged on her sister's hand, "Elsie! I wanna get a treat!" She said as she pointed at the stand.

Elsa shook her head and gave Anna a small smile, "Sorry Anna we have to stay close to Mama and Papa. We'll have plenty of sweets when we go home."

"Aw but I want one now!" Anna protested and gave her older sister the best pout she could muster up, "Please Elsie?"

Elsa couldn't help but laugh at her sister's face but shook her head, "Stop that or your face will stay that way."

"I'll stop when we stop to go buy some sweets." Anna argued with her, "Look they have chocolate."

Elsa stopped walking a brief second to turn and look. Sure enough, they had some smooth milk chocolate on a stick, Elsa's favorite treat in the whole wide world. She licked her lips hungrily and shook her head, "I'm sorry Anna but I didn't bring any money with me to buy you some chocolate."

Anna pouted once more but then gave her sister a hopeful look, "Can we at least go and look then?"

Elsa sighed and looked up to see her parents had stopped walking and were currently talking to a small crowd of people. An idea came into her mind, surely she could bring Anna over to the stand, look at the candy real quick then walk back. They won't be out of sight anyway. She looked at her younger sister and gave her a smile, "Alright Anna we'll go take a quick peek."

Anna squealed in excitement and led her sister back over to the stand. Elsa held Anna's hand tightly as the two of them gazed at all the different kinds of chocolate. They both took a quick smell and hummed in unison, "Mmmm chocolate!" They looked at each other and laughed lightly.

The kind man who was selling all of the different kind of candies ended up giving each of the princess's a small piece of chocolate. Anna squealed excitedly while Elsa curtsied respectfully and thanked the man. She pulled Anna's hand gently to head back to where their parents were. That's when she frowned; the groups of people were still standing in the same spot but their parents weren't in sight.

Anna was nibbling on her chocolate hungrily and looked up at Elsa with a smile, "Elsie where did mama and papa go?"

"Uh…" Elsa thought quickly and came up with something, not wanting to scare her sister, "they're waiting for us at the edge of the kingdom. They're hiding from us and we have to go and find them."

She was relieved when Anna's eyes widened and she smiled wide, "Let's go find them!"

Elsa nodded eagerly and began leading her sister through the crowded streets. For Anna's sake, Elsa stayed calm and quiet, keeping an eye out for either their parents or any of the royal guards. She knew they couldn't have gotten too far and were probably waiting somewhere nearby for them. Along the way, Anna started up a game of 'I spy'. Elsa played in order to take her mind off the fact that she didn't know exactly where they were and how they were going to get back.

Time seemed to pass by and still there was no sign of anyone familiar. Anna kept getting distracted and wanted to go and play with some of the village children, so Elsa kept having to stop and get her to focus, wasting more time.

She began to almost lose hope as she noticed how late it was becoming. She led Anna to a bench and sat down with her. Anna watched as her sister buried her face into her hands and frowned softly, "What's wrong Elsie?" she asked while nuzzling her head on her shoulder.

Elsa looked down at her younger sister and gave her a small smile, "Nothing Anna, I'm just a bit tired is all."

Anna furrowed her brows up and looked around a bit, "Where's Mama and Papa? Why haven't we found them yet?"

"We'll find them Anna," Elsa reassured her sister, "they just keep hiding further and further away from us."

Anna let out a soft huff and looked down at her feet dangling on the edge of the bench, "I'm hungry now Elsie, I wanna go home."

Elsa sighed softly and looked at her sister with a small frown on her face, "So do I, we'll go home very soon I promise."

Before Anna could say something again, the two girls heard their names being called out through a crowd, "Princess Anna! Princess Elsa!"

Elsa's eyes widened when she heard some of the guards calling out their names and stood up quickly, "Come on Anna! Everyone's looking for us!"

Both girls took off running towards the direction of the voices that were calling their names. Elsa caught sight of the royal guards flags and led Anna over in that direction.

The captain of the guard caught sight of the two girls and ran over to them, "Princess's! Your parents have been worried about you two. Let's get you both back to the castle."

Elsa and Anna allowed themselves to be pushed in between four guards as protection and followed them all towards the castle. Elsa felt so relieved to be found and hoped their parents wouldn't be too upset about them wandering off.

Once they reached the gates, Anna ran ahead to where their parents were waiting for them. Idun scooped her youngest daughter up right away and hugged her close, "My daughters I was so worried about you!"

Elsa went running to approach their parents as well, but suddenly stopped when she saw the look on their father's face. Agdar glared at his eldest daughter and walked towards her, "Elsa! You were instructed to keep a close eye on your sister and to not wander off!"

Elsa looked a little worried and found herself looking down at her feet, "I-I'm sorry Papa… Anna wanted to look at the chocolate so I took her in to see the candy stand. We barely left your side honest-"

"There's no excuses!" the King snapped, "your sister could've been seriously hurt or worse!"

"Agdar," Idun spoke softly to her husband, "perhaps you're being a little too harsh on her-"

"She disobeyed me Idun!" Agdar spoke in a booming voice; "She put her sister's life in danger and must be punished!"

Elsa's eyes widened and didn't have time to react as her father grabbed her arm and pulled her inside. She didn't resist and looked back at her mother, who was following behind and holding an exhausted Anna in her arms.

"Agdar," Idun spoke as she walked behind her husband and Elsa, "she's only five years old."

"Then it's about time she learned some respect." Agdar snapped again at his wife as he brought Elsa to hers and Anna's room.

He opened up the door and nearly threw the young girl in there. Elsa nearly stumbled to the ground and held her throbbing arm as she looked up at her angry father, "Elsa," Agdar spoke sternly, "you must learn that every action has a consequence. It's a blessing that nothing happened to Anna today because of your carelessness. As punishment, you will have no dinner and are confined to your room for the rest of the day. Am I clear?"

Elsa felt her lip quiver and went to try and speak up for herself, but her father closed the door before she could say anything. The child walked over to her bed and looked down at her hands sadly. Her own Papa didn't seem to have any concern about her or her feelings. She honestly didn't mean to wander off and get them lost, and she would never intentionally bring any harm on her own sister.

A small frosty patch began to form on the sheets of her bed as she felt tears in her eyes. Today was the day that she wanted to prove to her father at last that she could handle herself and look after her sister. Now that chance is gone and she has let down her Papa.

Some time passed before the door started to open up slowly. Elsa looked over with a tearful look and watched as her mother came in with a small tray of food. Idun looked at her daughter and sighed sadly before setting the food down on the table, "Come here sweetie." She said softly as she opened up her arms to Elsa.

The small girl climbed off the bed and went over to her mother's warm embrace. Elsa had warm tears running down her pale cheeks, "Mama why does Papa hate me?" she asked softly.

Idun frowned softly and pulled back just bit to look at her eldest daughters face, "My dear Elsa your father does not hate you. He was just very worried about the two of you."

Elsa shook her head, "He wasn't worried about me, just Anna. Mama why am I so different?" she asked, referring to her powers.

"Well," Idun brought her daughter close to her chest again, "some people are very special and are granted certain gifts. Your particular gift could be used one day to make something amazing."

"What's so amazing about making ice and snow though?" Elsa asked as she laid her head on her mother's shoulder.

"Let's see," Idun smiled lightly, "people love the snow to make snowmen and snow forts, and they love the ice to skate on and to look at the pretty ice cycles that hang off of their roofs. Your gift is beautiful Elsa, it may be hard to see now but someday you'll understand."

Elsa nodded her head, though she didn't quite understand everything her mother was saying.

"Now what do you think about getting something in that small stomach of yours?" Idun said as she playfully poked her daughter's stomach, making the young girl giggle, lightly "afterwards I'll get you ready for bed, bring Anna in and read you both a story before bed. How does that sound?"

Elsa gave her mother a small smile, hugging her one last time before sitting back up on her bed. As her mother brought over her dinner, she tried to get her father's angry and displeased look out of her mind. She never wanted to disappoint her father ever again.
