Steadymouth . wildmind: haha Pitch is a just ugh I think we can all agree on that. And aww, I do agree author's need love and I have plenty from you! Thank you soo much! Haha no worries about the dot girl, you do wut u want. Lol Anna figured that the last place anybody would want to go in is the library, silly girl :p Crystal better prepare herself c; poor child, that's a lot to handle. Actually in the first chapter, Pabbie states that every charm has its price and because of that the couple has to age. I don't think it makes much sense but it's something XD keep reviewing, girl!

I promise I will in future chapters tho (: Pitch is just nosy so he knows about everything that's going on pretty much lol. It's like you read my mind ;) maybe that'll happen…maybe it won't. aww, thank you for being an amazing and awesome reader! I really appreciate it! Xx

Chapter 6
Crystal walked down the hallway with Anna's arm linked with hers and her mind somewhere else. Had she just been imagining the figures in the library? Had she magically fallen asleep while finishing the two books? Crystal was desperate to hear a yes from either question.
''Aunt Anna,'' she spoke.
Anna looked at her and nodded her head once. ''Yes?''
''Please tell me I imagined Jack and Elsa, or that this is all just a dream''
Anna tried to hide her smile.
For years she had waited patiently for this moment, waiting to see the moment in which her niece would see her sister.
She understood that all they wanted to do was protect her, but to Anna, not seeing your own parents was beyond saddening.
''Sorry, Crystal, this is pretty real''
Crystal felt chills run down her back as she turned to Anna once again. ''Why didn't you tell me? Why would you and uncle Kristoff keep this from all of us?''
Anna looked down at her feet. ''Like I said, we'll explain after we end the ball''
They reached the doors to the ball room and the guards opened the door for them.
''please,'' she heard Anna whisper to her. ''don't tell your cousins about any of this''
Crystal simply nodded her head. She didn't understand why her aunt wanted to keep such a strange friendship from her own children;maybe they would think she was crazy like Crystal did.
She still didn't understand why this was all happening; she hadn't meant to stumble upon the two books. If only she had been attentive to her duties as a princess; she might still have her sanity.
As Aunt Anna began speaking to all the royals about finally ending the ball, Crystal spotted from the corner of her eye as Kristoff walked in the room with Jack and Elsa behind him.
Their eyes connected with something across the room.
Crystal followed their trace and found them staring at Prince Eugene and Princess Rapunzel, who stared back happily.
Eugene, or Flynn, sent them a small smile while Rapunzel let out a soft squeal and waved secretly at the couple.
Feeling eyes burn through them, Elsa looked at her daughter and grinned slightly at her.
Crystal smiled a bit with her lips before turning back to her aunt.
She had doomed her; Elsa had doomed her own daughter. She had to protect her fresh and blood from Pitch, but now that she knew, fear was overtaking Crystal and she was sure Pitch could smell it. Now it wasn't only Crystal who feared, but also Elsa; who feared for her daughter's safety. But she wasn't going to let that evil man get to her baby without a fight; she'd have to be immortally dead before ever letting him lay a finger on her.
''may the heavens be with you,'' was the last thing Anna said, and then the guests began fleeing the room.
Crystal felt a light finger poke her shoulder. She turned and found the royal family of Corona smiling at her.
''See you soon!" cried out Alice, pulling her into a tight hug.
Crystal nodded her head. ''Of course, princess''
Aden shook her hand as smirked. ''For your next birthday, I'll remember to bring you a wheel chair. You're getting much too old''
Crystal gave him a playful glare. ''and I'll remember to bring princess Rapunzel a stroller. How old are you turning this year? 3?''
Aden chuckled. ''Nice one, princess. Until next time''
Once their children were a few feet away, Flynn and Rapunzel approached her.
''We see that you finally believe in Jack and Elsa'' spoke Flynn, a small smirk threatening to cross his lips.
Crystal raised an eyebrow. ''How'd you know?"
She hadn't seen Jack or Elsa walk anywhere near them, they had been beside Kristoff from the very beginning.
Rapunzel giggled. ''You looked straight at them ,hunny! You weren't just staring at the wall''
Crystal took a deep breath. ''yeah, well I just started seeing them a few minutes ago. I just – I don't know. I feel like I'm going insane. Apparently no one else can see them''
Flynn placed his hand on her shoulder. ''They haven't told you… have they?''
Crystal shook her head.
''It'll all make sense in the end, I promise'' Rapunzel pulled her into a hug and held her husband's hand. ''Take care, sweetie. If you need anything, don't question to ask us for help'' and with that they left.
Kristoff, Jack, Elsa and Anna were now standing next to her.
''Ready?'' asked Kristoff.
Crystal took a deep breath once again. ''of course''
''Wait, Crystal!" she heard a voice exclaim from behind her.
She turned around and grinned slightly at a brightening Vince and a Teddy trying to catch his breath. In Vince's hand he held a small wrapped box.
''Happy birthday!'' Vince and Teddy both cried out, Teddy still inhaling oxygen.
Crystal looked at them suspiciously before opening her eyes and finding a beautiful golden hair pin with a snowflake shaped into it. It was bright and just plain amazing; Crystal just had to pull her two cousins into a hug.
''Thank you guys!'' her eyes sparkled as she examined the hair pin once again. She placed it on her bun. ''How did you get this?''
Teddy cleared his throat and whipped some sweat off his forehead. ''We went to the jeweler in the village and found it. It only caused us our full allowance''
Kirstoff's eyes widen. ''wait what?''
Crystal heard Jack laugh and whisper something to Elsa, who playfully punched his arm.
Vince snickered. ''don't be dramatic, Teddy. But we won't be able to buy ourselves anything for some time''
Crystal grinned and pulled Vince into a side hug. ''I don't get it, why is Teddy so sweaty''
Teddy growled. ''I thought I'd be a good idea to leave it there, knowing how often Vince loses things but at the end I forgot and I barely had time to get it myself''
Anna squealed. ''you boys are so sweet buying your cousin a gift. I'm sure she'll never forget this''
Footsteps were heard coming their way and Abby almost tripped on her own feet.
''hi, guys'' she said in the vaguest voice Crystal had ever heard her talk in. A smile was plastered in her face as she twirled around gracefully. ''beautiful night isn't it?''
Jack leaned into Elsa once again and spoke loud enough for Kristoff, Anna and Crystal to hear. ''what's gotten into her?''
Teddy sent his little sister a horrid look. ''what happened to you?''
Abby sighed dreamingly. ''Oh, Nothing. I ate some chocolate, talked to Alice for a bit, Danny kissed me, I ate some more chocolate-''
''what?'' shouted Kristoff and Anna, causing Abby to jump and hide behind Crystal.
''oh…yeah'' she laughed nervously. ''I forgot to mentioned… we kinda made out''
Teddy made a disgusted face while Vince and him turned to each other. ''ew'' they both said, in union.
Crystal's eyes widen seeing her uncle's torn face. His face was a clear mixture of anger, gloom, confusion and shock. She could see how it was slowly sinking into him.
But he remained silent, and it was Anna who spoke. ''Abby, you can't kiss a guy you just met''
Elsa smirked and nudged her sister lightly on the arm. ''you're one to talk, Anna''
The queen cleared her throat and pushed Elsa with her shoulder. Neither of her children noticing.
Abby's lower lip started to tremble. ''you can if its true love''
''What do you know about true love? You're just sixteen years old''
It was beginning to dawn upon Anna that Elsa had been right along. Of course she had tried to understand for years, but now in her present scenario, she was plainly sensing everything her sister had when she told Elsa that she was engaged. If only she had listened to her, they could've saved each other so much trouble.
Abby scowled. ''I'm not a little girl anymore, I don't need your opinion'' and with that, she stormed off.
Anna threw her hands out, trying to reach for her, with her jaw dropped.
She wanted to say something, it was clear to everyone. But she only cleared her throat and looked at her two sons.
''Please go check that your sister is alright. I'll be there in a bit''
Vince and Teddy nodded their heads and headed after their sister.
''Aunt Anna, are you alright?'' asked Crystal, looking concern at her. She had never really seen her aunt so down.
Anna swallowed and bowed her head. The fight with her daughter had reminded her of her fight with Elsa; too many feelings were resurfacing.
Although Elsa was right there, she would never know just how deeply her death had affected her. Anna had spent a month bawling for dead sister, those were emotions that still lingered inside of her and would never go away.
''Yes, of course. Let's go to your room, Crystal. There we can all talk in private''
Everyone else begin walking in front of her, Anna's head dropped as she continued to tell herself to not cry. She had to admit, Abby's words had struck her intensely.
A hand grabbed hers and Anna smiled up at her older sister.
''don't worry, it'll be okay'' insisted Elsa with an encouraging smile.
Anna sighed. ''I hope so'' she sniffed. ''I'm sorry for everything; For Hans and for not believing you about Jack and for almost perishing the kingdom after your death. I truly am sorry''
Elsa tilted her chin up. ''hey, there's no need to apologize, Anna. I'm here now aren't I?''
Anna considered answering the question. Sure her spirit was there, but she would never be able to teach her children manners or spoil them with divergent gifts; no, she would just be a forgotten queen.
But Anna had to be very thankful to the man in the moon for choosing Elsa as the guardian of straight, without him Anna would've probably lost it. She had to be grateful to at least be able to see Elsa, mortal or immortal. Elsa was the only family left, and she knew she had to make the moments count.
Anna beamed. ''Yes, yes you are''
Elsa squeezed her hand as they all entered Crystal's bedroom. Anna was determined to protect her family, no matter what it took.
What will they tell Crystal? How will Crystal react to the truth? Find out in Everything's crystal clear ;D idk, I felt like doing my best, I'm aware. But oh well, I'm tired. Now I have 21 favs. And 26 follows! :D yay! Thanks guys! I'll update probably later today or tomorrow. Idk, probably today. Mkaay, love you guys! Xx ~Lexi
