Everyone was running around in a panic. Anna looked lost and confused. She looked like she didn't know what to do. I tried my best to calm people down as I made my way to Anna.
"I don't understand," She said, pulling me into a hug.
"I do," I said as I took a step back so I could see her face. "She has been hiding this for a long time, I'm guessing."
"That's why she never left her room. That's why she always wore those gloves," She began to cry but, I held her close and stroked her hair.
"It's going to be okay," I told her "We'll find her and bring her home,"
"No," she said firmly "I'm going to find her," I looked up at Hans who had been standing behind Anna during our conversation.
I wanted to tell him to go away and leave us be but, Anna turned and announced that she would be going to find her sister and that she was leaving prince Hans in charge while she was away. As she was talking to the people, and asking for a horse to be brought for her, I turned to Eugene.
"I need you to stay here and keep an eye on prince Hans. I'm going with Anna," I gave him a quick hug and went to leave. He grabbed my hand and turned me to face him again.
"I will but; be careful. I don't want you getting hurt. Please just… be careful," He pulled me in and kissed me.
I knew that Anna wouldn't let me come with her so, I had to follow her. She rode off on her horse and I acquired one of my own. I made my way quickly but, quietly. I was always far behind her. Close enough to see where she was going but, far enough to not be heard.
After a while Anna got thrown from her horse and it ran away. I was worried but, she found a place to get warm. She went inside a small shack with a sign the read "Wandering Oaken's Trading Post and Sauna".
I ran across the snow to the window. I saw a man behind the counter. I couldn't hear what they were saying but, a moment later a large man walked in the door. He was covered in snow. I'll spare you the boring details. The basics of what happened go like this: Anna and the man talked for a while, he left and went to the stables to sleep, and she changed into her new winter dress then followed him to the stables. She bought the carrots and gear he'd been trying to purchase and used them to bribe him to take her up the north mountain, where Elsa was.
I had been listening in on them the whole time and nearly jumped out of my skin when they came around the corner of the stable. I had to hid, fast! I simply ran around the back side of the stables and climbed on top of it.
They got into his sled and drove off. I had no idea what to do. I was freezing and my horse had run away while I was listening in on Anna and the man. I thought he said his name was Kristoff. I ran into the trading post and asked for a coat or cloak. The man behind the counter said he didn't have anything else.
I decided to wait there 'til morning since it would probably be warmer in the day time.
"You wouldn't happen to have a room I could rent for the night. Would you?" I said to the man.
"Yes," he said
He told me the price and I paid him. I fell fast asleep and awoke the next morning. The only problem was… It wasn't morning! It was the middle of the afternoon! I had slept so long. I needed to find Elsa.
I left the trading post and made my way toward the north mountain. I knew where it was because I loved looking at maps. It's all I had to do on the ship ride here. I'd practically memorized the map of Arendelle and its surrounding areas.
It took a very long time but, I finally made it to the top. What I found there was incredible and a little bit terrifying. I turned a corner of the cliff and saw a huge stairway made of, what looked like, ice. My gaze followed the stairs and I saw a huge castle. It was amazing!
I knew now that Elsa had been hiding her powers all this time. Only the force of a proverbial dam breaking after years of confinement could have made such a thing. Like when I ran away from my tower. If I had been let out to play in the garden around the tower I probably wouldn't have wanted to run away.
I walked toward the stairs without noticing the giant snow creature off to the side. It screamed and ran at me. I jumped to the side, closer to the stairs. I just have to make it to the top of the stairs. I thought. I ran up to the door way and collapsed. I was exhausted from the cold and the snow and everything. I just wanted to sleep, right then and there. I heard the door creek open and a voice tell the giant to back down, and then I fell unconscious.
