Sorry that my chapters are so short. I'll try to make the next ones longer.

Also, sorry it's been so long since I've uploaded…

Hans rode long and hard. Eventually the castle came into sight. He and his men came to the canyon. The bridge was no longer there. Hans growled and kicked at some snow. One of his men came up to him.

"Prince Hans," the man began, "I have some rope. We could throw it around to the other side and slide across."

Hans looked sidelong at the man. "Fine. I suppose it's our only option."

They tied the rope into a loop and threw it across to a rock on the other side. It took four tries before it caught and held. They tethered it to a rock on their side. Hans went first. He grabbed the rope with his hands, and one hand at a time got across. His men followed.

Prince Hans was wary of Elsa, knowing what she could do. He sent two of his men on horseback as scouts.

Elsa, in the meantime, was watching the scouts approach. Fools. she thought. She strode calmly outside of her castle and approached them.

With a wave of her hands they were plucked from their horses and Elsa kept them in the air.

"Evening gentlemen," she said. "Why are you on my mountain?"

The men struggled in the air and one of them managed to stutter, "We were… sent by Prince Hans.. to help Princess Anna."

"Ah, yes, of course," said Elsa, "Then why didn't he come himself if he loves her so?"

The men glanced nervously at each other. "Is he raising an army?" inquired Elsa.

The two men refused to answer, so Elsa tightened her hold on them, making the snow blasts turn icy. "Y-yes my queen," answered one of the men, wincing in pain.

Elsa smiled. But there was no humor in her smile. "What a coincidence," she said sweetly. Suddenly, a mob of spiky snow figures appeared behind her. As the men gasped she laughed. "Never underestimate the power of snow and ice."

Hans drew up the courage to face Elsa. "Let's ride men!" he shouted. They charged towards Elsa's castle, with Hans in the lead.

Elsa saw them coming from a way off, and her mouth twisted into a wicked smile. "Ah heros," she smirked to herself. "So gallant, and so… foolish."

As Hans rode up, she twirled her fingers, sending four of Hans' men to an icy death. She could kill them all at once right now, but where was the fun in that?

As she descended the stairs, Hans and the rest of his men barged into her castle. "Queen Elsa!" Hans started, "We have come to bring summer to Arendale!"

"I see," Elsa said with a bemused look on her face. "And how do you plan to do that?"

Hans looked at her like she was stupid. "Well," he began, "By… killing you."

"Uh-huh," replied Elsa, and with a flick of her hand the rest of Hans' army was gone.

Hans swallowed hard. This was going to be harder than he had expected."But I'll take pity on you," Elsa continued. "You fight with your sword, and I'll fight with this. And I won't use my powers." And with that, she crafted a magnificent ice sword, with intricate designs on the hilt.

Hans gulped nervously. There was no way he could run now. Even though there was no guarantee she would not use her powers, he know this was his best shot for survival. He drew his sword.

Elsa was no expert at a sword and she knew this. But as Hans charged at her, she easily deflected it, using a move she had see between practicing swordsmen. But watched moves would not help her win. Spinning around, she made her own attack.

Hans narrowed his eyes. He could tell she was no expert on the sword, but she knew the basics. And he had expert training.

Elsa knew that she should go on the defense. So she easily blocked and jumped out of harms way whenever Hans made an attack.

She's just playing with me! Hans thought angrily. He began a vicious attack, which Elsa blocked, seemingly without effort.

Elsa waited calmly till Hans tired, and began her own attack.

The only thought flashing through Han's mind while he readily defended himself was At least she's keeping her promise not to use ice.

Elsa eventually grew fatigued as well, and drew back.

Hans still did not like the queen, but he admired that she kept her word, even now.

Elsa smirked and, waving her hands, drove and icicle into Hans' chest.

A shocked look came over Hans's face, and as he was dying, he stuttered out, "You… you said…."

Elsa interpreted it and smiled sweetly. "You expect a snow queen like me to keep my word?" she cooed. "How naive." The frost covered more of her heart.

She picked up his dead body, and with a twirl of her hand, sent the corpse outside her door.

Anna, meanwhile, eventually came to her senses. I need to go after Elsa! Hurriedly, she packed resources and left Arendale. After a few hours she stopped, deciding to give her horse a rest. And her horse repaid her kindness by running away.

"No, wait!" she called out desperately, and sighed. "Great," she grumbled. Climbing over a rock, she spotted a store. Excitedly, she darted over to it. Slamming the door behind her, she drew a breath of relief. She could buy more water here! Hers had become frozen long ago.

"Hello?" she said, walking around the store. Once she found the store clerk, she sighed in relief. "Do you have water here? For sale?" she asked.

The person behind the counter said nothing. In fact, it wasn't a person. It was a "Reindeer?" Anna asked in bewilderment. Se gave a jump of fright when a man appeared next to it.

"This store is deserted," said the man, "So I suggest you leave."

Anna started to walk away, but drew up her nerve and said, "I am Princess Anna. You will tell me where the water is."

The man just looked at her. "Here," he said finally, "Have some of mine. I can refill it later."

Gratefully, Anna gulped down the water. "Do you know where the North Mountain is?" she inquired.

The man chuckled. "Yeah," he said. "Usually people who venture this far know where it is."

"Can you take me there?" Anna asked eagerly. Then she remembered her place. "Take me to the North Mountain," she ordered.

He raised an eyebrow. "Fine. But it'll cost you. My name is Kristoff, by the way. And this reindeer here is Sven."

Anna smiled. She led them outside, and looked around. "Okay, what way to the mountain?"

Kristoff cleared his throat. He turned her around. "That way," he said, smiling slightly when he eyes widened in shock.

As they made their way, Anna told her story and what had happened. Eventually, they found a beautiful tree, next to the canyon. "Woah," breathed Anna.

"Well… this is it," said Kristoff, not wanting to leave. As they had talked, he had grown to start liking her. Little did he know that she was too.

"Could you come with me?" Anna begged. "I don't want to face her alone."

Kristoff smiled. "Sure."

Suddenly, a voice interrupted them. "Hi, I'm Olaf."

Anna shrieked as she saw the source of the voice. "A talking snowman!"

Olaf looked at her curiously. "You didn't let me finish. I'm Olaf and I like the winter."

"O-okay," Kristoff stuttered.

Olaf was huge. He was twice the size of either of them, and had ice spikes sticking out. "Why are you here?" he asked.

"We-we came to see Elsa, my sister," managed Anna.

Olaf's gaze darkened. "No one is allowed to see my queen."

Sven suddenly slammed into Olaf, which sent him off balance. Looking for a handhold, Olaf grabbed onto Anna, Kristoff, and Sven, and accidently sent them flying over the canyon. Olaf growled when he realized what he'd done, but he wasn't able to cross the canyon itself.

Anna brushed herself off. "Let's go!" she said. Kristoff and Sven followed her, eventually admiring the ice castle that materialized in front of them. As Anna approached it, she worked over in her head what to say. But when she got to the doors, she saw the dead figure of Prince Hans.

"What the…" trailed of Kristoff.

Anna hadn't' known him that well, but she thought that this was a horrific act. She barged into her sister's castle.

"Why hello Anna," said Elsa. "What brings you here?"

"The...the winter…" Anna said. "I was hoping you could thaw it…"

Anna started to sing softly. "You don't have to protect me, I'm not afraid."

"Please don't shut me out again."

Elsa turned away.

"Please don't slam the door."

Elsa started walking away sadly.

"You don't have to keep your winter anymore."

Elsa stopped suddenly at that, and clenched her fist.

"Cuz for the first time in forever, I finally understand."

Elsa slowly turned back, angry. She does not understand.

"For the first time in forever, we face them hand in hand."

Elsa struggled to keep her temper in check.

"We can head down this mountain together, you don't have to live in here."

It took all of Elsa's willpower not to snap at Anna.

"Cuz for the first time in forever, I will be right here," Anna finished, hoping the singing helped her sister.

Elsa started singing as well, countering Anna. "Anna please go back home."

Anna stood stock still. I won't go home.

"Your life awaits."

Anna just shook her head.

"Go enjoy the snow, and open up the gates."

Anna decided she needed to reply. "Yeah but-"

Elsa would not be interrupted. "I know, you mean well. But leave me be."

Anna looked at her sister sadly, keeping quiet this time.

"Yes I'm alone, but I'm alone and free."

Anna winced.

"Just stay away and you'll be safe from me," Elsa finished, hoping her song had convinced Anna.

Anna did not budge, and replied in song, "Actually I'm not."

Elsa recoiled. She sang back, "What do you mean you're not?"

"I get the feeling you don't know," Anna sang.

"What do I not know?" Elsa sang worriedly.

"Your heart is buried in deep, deep, deep, deep snow."

"What?!"

"I mean you kinda set of an eternal winter? Everywhere.."

"But-"

"That's ok you can just come back."

"No I can't... I hate them."

"Sure you can. I know you can. Cuz for the first time in forever…"

"Your such a fool, you can't be free."

"You don't have to be alone."

"There's no escape from the storm I've made."

"We'll work this out together."

"You can't control the curse!"

"We'll reverse this frozen heart."

"Anna dear, you've only made it worse."

"Don't panic."

"I'll make them fear."

"We'll make the sun shine bright."

"No one's safe here."

"We can face this thing together."

"No!"

"We can change your winter heart."

"Aahahahaha."

"And everything will be alright."

"Now you die!" And with that, Elsa twirled her fingers, causing snow to blast into Anna's heart. Thus ending the song.

Anna staggered back, clutching her chest, but quickly recovered. It had only just started to affect her, since the blast had happened mere seconds ago.

Elsa raised her hands to kill Kristoff, but Anna cut in. "I don't think you want to do this," she said carefully.

"Oh.. I think I do," replied Elsa sickeningly sweet.

Anna grabbed Kristoff's arm, and ran out of the castle, Sven trailing them.

Elsa lowered her arm and smiled. "She has no idea," she whispered softly. The frost closed over more of her heart
