Chapter 2: Framing the Queen
Elsa's POV
I ran as fast as I could. The branches scratched me as I ran.
I was just sitting in my room doing some work, when all the sudden, my men burst into the room. They tried to arrest me for the murder of Clint, my top advisor. I used my powers to escape.
I began heading to the ice castle. I knew I would be safe there.
"Elsa!"
I looked back. Anna was coming after me.
I stopped. I knew I could trust Anna.
Anna and Kristoff pulled up in the sleigh. Sven was out of breath.
Anna jumped off.
"Elsa. You can't run from this."
"Anna I didn't do it. I've been framed."
"Elsa I believe you. But don't run. Let's go back and figure this out together."
"Anna I can't!"
"Elsa, they'll get the Big Four if they have to. Just come back."
"No."
Anna then groaned.
"Elsa, why couldn't you have stayed calm for once instead of flying off the handle!"
I hope you're happy!
I hope you're happy now
I hope you're happy how you
Hurt your cause forever
I hope you think you're clever!
I snapped back at her.
I hope you're happy
I hope you're happy, too
I hope you're proud how you
Would grovel in submission
To feed your own ambition
So though I can't imagine how
I hope you're happy right now
Anna took a few breath
"Elsa, listen to me. Just say you're sorry. You can still be the Queen of Arendelle. What you've worked and waited for. You can have all you ever wanted."
"I know."
But I don't want it -
No - I can't want it
Anymore.
Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes, and leap!
It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you can't pull me down!
Anna grabbed my arm.
Can't I make you understand?
You're having delusions of grandeur.
I pulled my arm away.
I'm through accepting limits
Cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!
I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down.
I grabbed Anna's hand.
"Anna, come with me. Think of what we could do, together."
Unlimited
Together we're unlimited
Together we'll be the greatest team
There's ever been
Anna,
Dreams, the way we planned 'em
If we work in tandem
There's no fight we cannot win
Just you and I
Defying gravity
With you and I
Defying gravity
They'll never bring us down!
"Well? Are you coming?"
Anna look back Kristoff, then back at me.
"I hope you're happy, now that you're choosing this."
"You too. I hope it brings you bliss."
I really hope you get it
And you don't live to regret it
I hope you're happy in the end
I hope you're happy, my friend.
I turned around and began to walk up the mountain, letting me power free as I did.
So if you care to find me
Look to the Northern sky!
As someone told me lately:
"Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fight!"
And if I'm fighting solo
At least I'm fighting free
To those who'd ground me
Take a message back from me
Tell them how I am
Defying gravity
I'm flying high
Defying gravity
And soon I'll match them in renown
And nobody in all the lands
No Big Four that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down!

Anna's POV
I watched Elsa walk up the mountain. I walked back over to Kristoff and Sven.
"So, now what?" Kristoff asked.
"We go back. And catch the real murderer."
Kristoff urged Sven forward. Sven took off back towards Arendelle.
I curled up next to Kristoff.
"Kristoff, I'm scared."
"Don't worry. She'll be fine."
We pulled up to the castle. I got off and walked inside.
I began to walk to my room.
"Princess Anna."
I turned around. There stood a man. He had black hair in a ponytail and a goatee.
"Forgive me, your majesty. I'm Lord Cyprus, Of Grimstad."
"Yes?"
"I'm sorry for your loss."
"Tell that to his family." I said.
"Of course. I would like to assist you in anyway. Your sister must be brought to justice."
"My sister's not a murderer." I said.
"Well, no offence, your majesty. But didn't your sister just freeze all of Arendelle?"
"That was my fault. She lost control because of me."
"Well anyways. I've called the Big Four to bring her in."
"No! My sister is innocent of all charges."
"I'm sorry, your majesty, but you can't pardon your sister. Only a Queen can."
I shook my head.
"When they get here, send them to me." I said.
"As you wish, your majesty."

Cyprus's POV
After talking with Princess Anna. I went back to my room. I shut the door and walked over to the window. I looked up at the mountain.
Elsa was on her way up to her ice castle. The Big Four were on there way here. Everything was going as planned.
I was the one that killed that advisor. Then I made the witness, another advisor named Jones, say it was the Queen. I had to threaten the murder his family to do it. As soon as the Big Four apprehend her, I would say it was the advisor at the trial. Elsa would go free. Then I would marry her. And I would finally be royalty. Then my revenge on Jack would begin.
Jones sat across the room. He was tied and gagged. My men from my army stood on both sides of him.
I turned to him. "Oh don't worry. Your death will be for the good of the kingdom. You need a king to rule this kingdom. I shall be the perfect king."
Man What A chapter. Now That we know Cyprus's motives that is.
