Thank you to everyone who is still bearing with me on this story. The girls are about the same age in here as they were in the last chapter.

After the events that took place that day, Elsa began being very careful about not drawing any attention to herself in front of her father. Ever since she and Anna had gotten lost, she could feel his eyes on her. He took her aside more frequently to read the same passage in the magic book that he has been reading to her for the past few years now. Every evening, Elsa would recite the words he wanted to hear each time he was done,
"Conceal it, don't feel it, don't let it show."
She didn't quite get the point of hiding her powers. Her mother had told her that they were a gift that should be shared; yet her father seems to think the complete opposite about them. The young girl felt a bit torn when it came to hiding and using her powers so to make everyone happy, she used them in secret.
She had introduced them to Anna unintentionally one night. Elsa was letting it snow on her bed in the middle of the night when she couldn't sleep and didn't know Anna was watching her the entire time. The next morning, Anna jumped on Elsa's bed and said,
"Do the magic!"
Elsa woke up with a start and looked at her sister with a shocked look, "Wh-What?"
Anna giggled cutely and shook her older sister gently, "Do the magic that you were doing last night Elise!"
Elsa's eyes widened and she sat straight up, "You saw me Anna?"
"Duh!" Anna rolled her eyes before jumping again, "come on, come on, come on pretty please?"
Elsa sighed a bit, knowing her sister wouldn't stop until she got her way, "Okay Anna calm down. But you got to promise me one thing, you won't tell Mama or Papa that you know about this okay? It'll be our little secret."
Anna's eyes widened at the thought of sharing a secret so important with her older sister, "I wont Elsie, I won't! Now please, please, please, show me the magic!"
Elsa chuckled and sat up in bed. She bit her lip lightly and began swirling her hands around until a small glowing blue orb could be seen. She let it go up in the air and it exploded into bits of ice and snow. Anna let out a squeal and started running around in circles as she caught the snow on her skin and even her tongue.
"This is so cool!" Anna laughed as she continued running around.
Elsa couldn't help but smile wider when she saw how happy her sister was. Who knew her magic could make someone so excited and happy?
From that day on, Elsa used most of hers and Anna's playtime to play in the snow that she could create in their room. All afternoon they would spend their time sledding, making snow angels, throwing snowballs and building snowmen. Elsa was so delighted to have someone in her life that actually seemed to appreciate her powers and thought they were cool. That just made her realized that maybe having this gift wasn't a so bad a thing after all.
About a week after introducing Anna to her powers, both Elsa and Anna were with their parents one night. Anna sat on her fathers lap while he read to her and Elsa sat by her mother's feet while getting her hair braided. When the story was finished, Anna looked up at Agdar, "Papa when will the winter be here?"
The king smiled at his daughter, "In a few more months, my little princess."
"Why is it so far away?" Anna pouted her lip and looked out the window.
"There's a time and place for everything Anna," Idun said from where she was sitting, "a time for summer and a time for winter. Have patience little one."
Anna looked up at the window and looked at her father again, "Papa why can't Elsa just stand outside and make it snow all the time?"
Elsa's eyes widened when she heard what her sister just said and turned her head quickly, "Anna!"
Anna looked at Elsa and suddenly remembered the secret, "Oh oops!"
Agdar looked over at his eldest daughter and snapped at her, "You showed your sister your powers? After I told you specifically to conceal them?"
"Agdar," Idun spoke up quickly, "don't blow this out of proportion!"
"Papa I didn't mean to!" Elsa said quickly, "She saw me playing around with some snowflakes in the middle of he night and begged me to show her again!"
"So your little sisters orders overthrow your fathers?" Agdar boomed at her while standing up, setting Anna down on her feet first.
Idun stood up quickly while supporting her large belly, "Darling please don't be this way she-"
"You stay out of this woman!" Agdar snapped and walked closer. "She disobeyed me and must be punished!"
Elsa got up and stood by her mother, looking terrified at her father, "Papa I didn't mean to I'm sorry!"
Idun put her hands on Elsa protectively; "You will not lay a finger on your daughter Agdar. Not while I am standing here."
Elsa clung to her mother's skirt, feeling even more scared as she listened to her parents start to argue with each other. Her fear grew into much more than what she was used to, making the room grow cold and the windows start to ice up. Her mind started to grow a bit fuzzy and soon her parent's voices sounded like a far away echo. The world seemed to begin to swirl around quickly for an eternity. But as quickly as that started, it ended.
Elsa's eyes shot open when she heard someone scream and she looked back, seeing her mother clinging to her large belly, which was now covered in snow and ice. The young girl's eyes widened and she was suddenly shoved aside by her father, who caught his wife before she could fall to the ground.
"Idun!" the king said worriedly before picking her up and quickly walked out, "Help! Someone help my wife! Please!"
Elsa watched with wide and teary eyes as Agdar carried Idun out of the room to seek out some help. She didn't mean to hurt her mother, she didn't even remember ever releasing her powers.
Anna was suddenly at her side, "Elsie what's wrong with Mama?"
Elsa let out a shaky sigh, "I-I don't know Anna, but maybe we should go to our room until Papa or Mama calls for us."
Anna nodded meekly and allowed Elsa to take her hand and lead her back to their room. Once there, Anna sat on the ground and played silently with her dolls while Elsa sat by the window and looked out it, silent tears running down her face.
Hours went by and no one came to fetch either of the girls. Eventually Elsa helped her younger sister into bed and watched her fall asleep. The young girl sat in her own bed silently, unable to sleep.
After what seemed like forever, the door opened up and Rachel walked in. The nurse was surprised to still see the young girl awake, "Elsa my princess, why are you still awake?"
Elsa swallowed and looked at her nurse with sad eyes, "Is Mama going to be okay?"
Rachel froze in place for a moment and let out a soft sigh before walking closer, "Oh my sweet child, your mother is going to be just fine."
Elsa felt the huge knot in her chest grow looser as she breathed out in relief. She then caught sight of Rachel's small frown and knew something else was wrong, "Rachel… why do you still look so sad?"
The poor young nurse debated on whether she should tell the poor young girl what the king had instructed her to say. She cleared her throat and spoke softly, "Elsa your mother is going to be just fine, but the little Prince that was growing in her belly and any other future prince's or princess's…" she was choked off with a sob.
Elsa's heart suddenly sank and she looked down at her sheets, knowing full well what Rachel was saying. She had killed the little brother that was growing inside her mother; she had taken away an innocent life. The young princess burst into tears and cried loudly into her hands. She felt Rachel try to put her arms around her and ease her, but she felt no comfort at all.
It haunts me why the King and Queen had never tried for a son, seeing as that is what most royal couples do. Produce a son to carry on the family line..
Any comments? I'd love to hear them. Thank's for reading x.
