*Disclaimer: I don't own Frozen or its characters. I only own my characters and the plot*

So here's chapter 6. I hope my previous romantic chapter went down okay.

Anyway I would like to apologise to Megan Lyle as I didn't reply to her guest review on chapter 4. It turned up a bit late. Megan, I thank you for saying it was a terrific chapter and for your support of this story.

Now it's time for the continue the tale.

Chapter 6: Story Sharing

Elsa and Jonas were walking together down the corridors of the castle. It hadn't long since they had left the hall but neither of them had said a word. Elsa decided to break the silence.

'So, were you born with your powers?' Elsa asked cautiously.

'Well Queen Elsa…' Jonas started.

'Just Elsa. Remember.' Elsa interrupted, smiling as she did.

'Right, Elsa. Sorry, I'm not used to talking with royalty.' Jonas explained. 'Let alone saying their name without their title.' Elsa smiled and gestured for him to continue. 'Well Elsa…' Jonas smiled at Elsa, who blushed in response. 'No, I wasn't born with my powers. I was cursed with them three months ago.'

'Cursed!' Elsa put her hand on her heart in shock. 'I didn't think that it was possible to gain powers through a curse. I had heard about it but still…'

'Unfortunately they are. A witch cursed me with ice powers. I can't remember why or how but I did something to anger her in such a way that she decided to curse me with powers of ice. She did that so I would live in fear of freezing people, especially my loved ones.' Elsa dropped her head in sadness. She had experienced first-hand how much damage her ice powers could do, especially to someone she loved. Oblivious to Elsa's emotions, Jonas continued his story. 'I tried to hide it but after a while people started asking questions. Those questions turned into actions and those actions revealed my new powers and got me forced out of my town. Of course, I understood why. I was a danger to everyone.'

'I know the feeling.' Elsa interrupted in her mind. She knew exactly how it felt to be a danger to people and it made her upset that someone else went through a similar experience. A silence fell over the two causing Elsa to be snapped out of her thoughts. She looked to Jonas, who was giving her a concerned look. 'I'm fine. It's just some bad memories. Please, continue.' Jonas did as Elsa asked, but he didn't believe for a minute she was fine.

'After leaving my town, I travelled. It was really the only thing I could do since I wouldn't go back until I was certain I was in full control of my powers. I managed some control over my powers but not enough for me to have confidence to go back.' Elsa was deeply saddened by the story and could see that Jonas was also. 'But…' Jonas' voice started to have a happier tone. '…I was given hope when I heard 'The Tale of the Frozen Arendelle'. A story where the 'Arendelle's Ice Queen' froze the kingdom and thawed it again. So I set course for Arendelle because if anyone could help me it would be her…I mean you.' Elsa gave a brief smile at Jonas but it couldn't hide her true emotions.

'That was a sad story.' Elsa said, trying to hold back a tear. Jonas looked down at the floor, clearly agreeing with her. Elsa decided to change the subject 'Tell me 'The Tale of the Frozen Arendelle'.' Elsa asked, while looking at Jonas sweetly. Jonas quickly raised his head.

'You haven't heard it? Even though it's about you.' Jonas asked with a puzzled expression.

'No, I haven't.' Elsa lied. She had in fact heard the story before. Not because she lived through it, but because Anna had told it to her. Her sister had overheard a couple of traveller's telling the story. She used it to explain that knowledge of Elsa's powers had spread and could possibly bring unwanted attention. But still, Elsa wanted to hear the story normally, not being used as an example.

'Okay then. The tale goes like this:' Jonas cleared his throat before he began to tell the story. 'In the kingdom of Arendelle, a new queen was going to be crowned. But the soon-to-be queen had a secret. A secret that she kept hidden, even from her sister. She had the power to control ice and snow.' Jonas paused for dramatic effect but quickly continued. 'After her coronation, the new queen of Arendelle and her sister argued. At its conclusion, the queen's lashed out and unintentionally revealed her ice powers.'

'I wouldn't say lashed out.' Elsa interrupted and quickly realised what she had done. 'Sorry. I just didn't agree with that part.'

'No need to apologise. But can I continue?' Jonas cautiously asked, to which Elsa nodded. 'Frightened that she was a danger to the whole of the kingdom, especially her sister, the queen fled across the fjord into the mountains, freezing it and Arendelle as she went. Her sister went after her and left Arendelle under the rule of an evil prince.' Jonas paused when he saw the sadness on Elsa's face. 'I don't have to keep going if it upsets you.' Elsa shook her head.

'No. Keep going. They are painful memories but this will help me put them behind me. So please, continue.' Elsa replied. Jonas nodded his head in response and cautiously carried on telling the story.

'After days had passed, the sister returned from the mountains with the queen having accidently frozen her heart. Unknown by the princess, the queen had been captured by the prince and brought back to the castle. Wanting to rule Arendelle without any objections, the prince left the sister to die and planned to execute the queen. However, both sisters escaped from the castle and raced out on to the frozen fjord.' Elsa sensed the increasing anger in Jonas' voice, clearly aimed at the evil prince, or as she knew him, Hans. 'The prince chased after the queen so he could slay the queen. Before he could, the sister sacrificed herself by freezing between the sword and the queen. The sword shattered and the queen was saved. But her sister was gone.' Jonas stopped to check on Elsa. She was much sadder than before. 'Are you sure you want me to keep going?'

'Yes. You must, to remind me of the happy ending.' Elsa demanded.

'Very well.' Jonas once again continued the story. 'The queen mourned her sister's passing. However, the love between the two sisters thawed the princess' heart and brought her back. With her sister back to life and filled with love, the queen thawed the entire kingdom and sent the prince back to his own land to be put to justice!' Jonas put some triumphant emphasis on to the end of the story, making Elsa chuckle. 'The end.'

'Thank you. You told the story so well.' Elsa smiled at Jonas and it was Jonas' turn to blush.

'Thank you,' Jonas replied with his hand rubbing the back of his head, in embarrassment. 'And you're welcome.' He smiled back at Elsa but their brief moment was interrupted by…

'Elsa!'

'Anna?' Elsa looked to see her sister walking quickly over to her.

'I've been looking all over the castle for you. Where have you been?' Anna asked, completely oblivious to man standing next to her sister.

'I've been talking to Jonas here.' Elsa said, while gesturing to the man beside her. She turned to Jonas. 'Jonas may I present my sister, Princess Anna of Arendelle.'

'Your, Highness.' Jonas said, while once again getting down to kneel. Elsa chuckled while Anna was surprised.

'Arise?' Anna said uncertainly as she wasn't exactly sure what to do. She was even less experienced with people kneeling for her than Elsa. Jonas quickly got back on his feet.

'It is a pleasure to meet you, Princess Anna.'

'It is a pleasure to meet you too.' Anna curtsied back at Jonas before turning her attention back to her sister. 'Elsa, may I speak to you in private?'

'Of course. Jonas, please wait here.' Jonas simply nodded. The sisters walked further up the corridor until Anna was certain Jonas wouldn't be able to hear their conversation.

'So the meeting went well?' Anna asked rhetorically.

'Yes, it did.' Elsa answered gladly, with a big smile on her face.

'So what does he want?'

'He wants my help, to control his ice powers.' Elsa said happily.

'Wait. What? He has ice powers?' Anna gestured to Jonas, making sure that he didn't notice.

'Yes, he does.' Elsa said gleefully. Anna looked suspiciously at her sister, which didn't go unnoticed. 'Why are you looking like that for?'

'Don't take this the wrong way but you can't fall in love with someone just because they have the same powers as you.' Anna stated cautiously.

'What?! I'm not falling in love with him. I've only just met him.' Elsa replied defensively.

'I know. Remember what happened with me and Hans.' Elsa nodded. 'I don't want that to happen to you.'

'It won't, I promise.' Elsa said while hugging Anna. 'I'll make sure.'

'Make sure you do.' Anna stated as she broke up the hug. 'I don't want you to get hurt like I did.' Elsa hugged her protective sister again. Anna gratefully hugged back. Anna once again broke up the hug. 'So are you going to help him?'

'How can I not?' Elsa replied rhetorically. 'He's nearly in the exact same position as me. But he doesn't have his own 'Anna' to get him through it.' Anna weakly smiled. Elsa sensed that she was still sceptical about Jonas. 'Trust me, Anna. It'll be fine.'

'I do trust you. If you say that you'll be fine, I believe you.' Anna replied, reassured that her sister would be sensible.

'Good.' Elsa then walked back towards Jonas, with Anna following close behind. 'Jonas!'

'Yes?' Jonas replied, slightly startled by the queen's reappearance.

'I have decided to teach you how to control your powers. I will teach you to, at least, the extent that you won't be a danger to others. Until then you will be my guest and stay in the castle.' Elsa announced.

'Thank you, Elsa.' Jonas bowed again while Elsa noticed Kai walking behind Jonas.

'Kai!' Elsa shouted. The servant stopped in his tracks and walked towards the group.

'Yes Queen Elsa?'

'Please escort Jonas here to one of the guest rooms.' Elsa ordered.

'Right away your, majesty.' Kai replied. Jonas looked confused at Elsa.

'Sorry Jonas but I have other duties that I need to attend to now.' Elsa replied to Jonas' unsaid question.

'I understand. Queen Elsa, Princess Anna.' Jonas respectfully said, while bowing to both of them.

'This way, sir.' Kai instructed, as he began to walk down the corridor. Jonas followed him closely.

'He's very respectful. I'll give him that.' Anna stated when Jonas was out of sight. 'Anyway, I thought you were finished for the day. What other duties do you have?'

'I have several minor things I need to take care of.' Elsa informed her sister. 'I also have the job of bringing several snowmen to life.' Elsa smiled and Anna chuckled. 'Come on. Olaf is probably there waiting.' The two sisters locked arms and began to walk in the direction of the castle's main door.
