Hey thanks for the reviews,follows,and favorites so far! I apologize but, the point of view will be a little jumpy today but I hope it still makes sense!
So I could not come up with a better name.. Sorry. Be sure to leave a review if you have a better name for this chapter!
Enjoy!
Anna's POV
I put on a smile and push the doors open in my way into the banquet hall to find Kristoff, Gerda, and Kai talking. I give a wave.
" Good Morning Everyone!"
I can feel the three of them staring at me as I devour my breakfast. I pause for a moment to take a sip of hot chocolate. Normally Elsa wouldnt allow it so early but, I guess the chef felt bad for me...After a moment, Kristoff takes a step in my direction.
" Err Anna, how are you feeling?"
I give a small laugh.
" Ha , im great! I just know that today Elsa will come through those doors and say-"
The doors burst open and a young guard burst in. He looks new.
" The queen was spotted going into the forest yesterday morning!"
I stand up.
" Aha! See, she's just fine!"
The guard frowns suddenly feeling nervous.
" Actually Princess, we searched but all we found was this..."
He slowly pulls something blue from behind his back. I gasp and rush forward to take it.
" This is Elsa's cape thingy from her ice dress!"
The Guard nods.
" It was caught on bush near the river. And-"
Another guard comes in carrying a small leather bag. He holds it out to me.
" Princess, a young boy dropped this off saying he found it at the entrance to the woods last night... I think it's for you."
Slowly I take the bag and open it to find a beautiful chest the size of my palm made of ice. Inscribed in the ice was the word 'Anna'and a picture of Olaf, Elsa, and myself ice skating together. my eyes water as I open it to find on of my favorite chocolates that I recognize only from Oaken's trading post. Oh, Elsa... I close the box and put it back in the bag I turn to Kai as I sling the bag over my shoulder. I give my best determined 'Do-or-Die' face knowing what I'm gonna do.
" I am going to the North Mountain...again."
...
Hans' POV
I place the seasoned egg mixture in the heated pan while unable to subdue my grin.
" I've done it."
I have her. The icy queen is eating up everything I've told her so far. Anna had mentioned their oh so special 'Mama and Papa' before, and how connected they felt with them. I figured changing the queen's precious 'Papa' to a formal ' Father' would prove to be the first test of many for control. My parents had thirteen sons that meant I never had that sort of relationship with mine, So why should Elsa?
I grab a bowl and start spooning the hot rice pudding in it, I sprinkle a hint of cinnamon on top. I chuckle at another thought.
I successfully got her to wear gloves again! If I just keep adding fear, she will be wrapped around my pinkie thinking I'm the only one who cares. By the time I'm done with her, she'll be begging to keep the gloves on.
I grab a plate and dump the now cooked eggs on it then, I place the bowl and plate on a tray with a glass of 'healing' water I got from a doctor. I pick up the tray and start walking out of the kitchen to the end of the long hallway. I can't help but think about how that annoying Strawberry blond must taking her sister's disappearance.
I was surprised how much of a wreck she was last time, I bet she has broken down by now or even better.. Off on a suicide mission attempting to find Elsa. Anna surprisingly ruined my plans last time, Who knew how much luck a spare princess could have? This time she will be the first to go. What better way to take out little sister Anna, than with her big sister?
I knock on the last door, making sure to diminish the smile off my face and take on a look of 'brotherly concern'. Now I'm ready to control the unbreakable' Ice Queen. Just you wait, Anna...
...
Elsa's POV
"ELSA!"
My eyes snap open and my heart is beating like a drum. At first, I look around wildly half expecting someone to be here yelling at me, the room is empty of course. I slowly sit up yawning as I think of the voice again. It sounded scared...
Not angry like the other voices from before... I shove it out of my head then I glance down at my bandaged arm thinking about everything Hans has told me so far. Something just seems off about all this...
I shake my head in disbelief. What wrong with me? I have a brother who has risked his life..to protect me. Something inside me stirs, is it gratitude or worry? I sit up frustrated that my feeling are so jumbled, that's when I notice a dress folded at the end of my bed. I stretch out and pick it up wincing in pain. I unfold it, the top Is a warm cream color with lines of gold on the hems and the waist color has a dark purple that fades to back.. Gold lines the bottom of the hem aswell. A short note is with it:
Elsa, If you need help just ask. ~ Hans
I place the card down and that's when I notice my gloves sort of match this dress. It's the same colors as Hans clothes... I decide to get dressed so, I push the sheets away to find I'm wearing a beautiful blue dress. I pull off my gloves to feel the dress and I feel almost instant relief. The dress it self seems to glisten and feels so light and smooth against my skin. The sleeve for my left arm has been completely ripped off and my hands are covered in scratches. I guess it's from when the angry mob attacked me... I study it closely, even with a hole here and a tear there...it's still perfect. I feel a certain coldness coming off the dress, I gasp. No way.. Is it made of.. Ice?!
I study my hands. Did I make this? I almost absent-mindedly start rubbing the gloves as I think. Hans said last night i have trouble controlling my powers but, I don't see anything... The sounds of people calling me monster enters my head again and I watch as frost starts to cover the blankets. Stop, stop,stop..after a moment it stops spreading but it doesn't disappear either. I sigh, Ice powers may take some time getting use to. Despite the pain, I am able to move enough to get out of the dress and I stop. I'm covered with bruises, i snap out of it and grab the new dress. That explains a lot. After im dressed, I fold the old dress neatly in hopes that it can be fixed. I may not remember making it but, I really like it. I'll ask Hans when I see him...
Just then I hear knocking right before Hans walks in carrying a tray. He gives a small smile still looking concerned.
" Good morning. I brought you breakfast."
He places the tray in front of me on the bed And i give him smile. I take a spoonful of the rice porridge and stop, my eyes go wide. This is really good... My stomach growls demanding more. I hear Hans chuckle as I spoon more into my mouth. I didn't realize I was this hungry... When I make it half way through the porridge, I slow down my eating and look to Hans. I become conscious of him watching me eat this whole time. I smile sheepishly.
" Umm, it's really good."
Hans nods to it with a grin.
" I may be a prince, but I should still be able to cook."
I study him as I chew the first bite of the eggs. These are good too... I glance at the royal portrait.
" Did.. Mama teach you how to cook?"
Hans frowns shaking his head.
" No Mother did not. She was always too busy for such things."
I swallow and put my fork down. How does his mood keep changing? I notice Hans staring at something intently as I reach to pick up my fork, he stops me.
" Why aren't you wearing them?"
I look at him confused.
" not Wearing what?"
He reaches out and grabs my hands, then he slides the gloves back on them roughly. His eyes bore into mine.
" What did I say about the gloves, Elsa? Do you want to be accused as being a monster again?"
I freeze.
" But I seem fine and-"
Hans points to the bed that is now fully covered in frost. I inwardly gasp not understanding how I didn't notice before. Hans stands up rubbing his temples.
" Elsa, you need to keep the gloves on at all times. Unless I tell you otherwise, you keep them on no matter what. Understood?"
I flinch looking down and nod.
Hans' eyes soften and he sighs
" I'm sorry Elsa, I'm just.. Stressed. I was almost too late to save you during your coronation and your powers.. Well I just want you to be safe. Anna really has it out for you since she thinks I'm probably dead."
I feel guilty. Hans is just trying to protect me... I open my mouth to ask Anna when Hans grabs a glass off the tray and hands it to me.
" Drink this, it's to help with the pain."
I take the glass feeling grateful for something to cool my dry throat.
" thank you."
Hans nods watching me take small sips trying not to chug the cool water. At least.. I think it's water... The water tastes almost stale but reminded me of the scent of wildflowers. Before I know it, I've drained the glass and Hans is waiting to take it. He gives me a small smile.
" Feel better?"
I nod and open my mouth to ask my question but I stop. For some reason I can't remember what I've been waiting to ask Hans. That's weird... Hans checks my bandaged arm.
" your bandages are still good but I don't want you moving around too much okay?"
I nod as Hans helps me get comfortable on the bed. Something about this is strange... My eyelids start to droop feeling like they are made of heavy lead. Hans pulls the blankets back up and for a moment I see a glint in his eyes but, then it's gone. I..I must have imagined it... Hans stands up picking up the tray.
" I'll come check up on you later. Tomorrow, We'll start your control training."
Control Training? The last thing I see is the door close behind my brother with a click. Then the world goes black.
...
Anna's POV
"Anna, wait up!"
I pull back on the reins of my white and black horse and look back to see Kristoff with Sven pulling the sleigh. I frown and cross my arms.
" I'm going Kristoff, and you can't stop me."
My boyfriend sighs as he aproaches.
" Calm down, Fiesty pants. I already got that from your cute I'm-not gonna-listen face you made at breakfast. And knowing you.. You'll most likely get lost."
I glare at him.
" Cute?! What are you talking about? That was my do-or-die face! I mean that's how I've always seen it at least and I'll have you know gotten better at navigating North Mountain. Of couse there was that time I-"
Kristoff chuckles at his girlfriend who has started rambling again. He reaches over and drops a piece of chocolate into the princess' mittened hands.
" I came to help."
He straightens up and Anna stops mid sentence with her mouth in a 'O' shape. Her eyes show deep gratitude towards the ice man.
" Oh!"
She pops the piece of chocolate in her mouth happily and points forward like she's leading an army.
" Forward!"
She takes off on her horse into the forest leaving Kristoff to shake his head in disbelief at his girlfriend's quick forgiving nature. He then reminds himself to thank Elsa for the trick for the strawberry blonde. He and Sven then follow the queen's sister.
I put a Hans POV in for you Hans fans out there, but im not sure if he will be getting another one or not.
Thanks for reading!
