Two years later, a new dawn rose over the fjords in the kingdom of Arendelle. Ships pulled up to the docks and many guests from many neighboring kingdoms piled out, including the royal family of the kingdom Corona who had recently found their "lost princess", Rapunzel and the kingdom's new prince, Eugene.

It was Coronation Day. Elsa had finally come of age to rule Arendelle.

Elsa was in the library. She was now 21 and very poised. She watched out the window as the coronation guests arrived. She was never happy anymore. Everyone that truly meant to her was now gone. Two people she would never see again, one she wasn't even supposed to see and one that was her own fault she would never see.

She knew that today was going to be the one time she would see her sister for the whole day, she was a little excited about that but that also would be risky. There was so much pressure on her. It was times like these that she would need Jack to tell her that he would always be there for her.

She had remembered that she said that she would call for him when she needed him when she sent him away. She never did though and it was going to stay that way. To her, Jack was just a crutch for her in her life and made her look weak. He also was a distraction, he would only, without trying, make her feel things she didn't want to feel about him. That's why she never wanted to call for him.

To calm herself she would always keep on saying her father's mantra. Sometimes she would even sing it to herself and she did so but adding in words to it only for this day.

"Don't let them in.

Don't them see.

Be the good girl you always have to be."

Elsa moved to a painting of her father's coronation. She

took off her gloves and mimicked the painting by holding a

candlestick and ornament in place of an orb and scepter.

"Conceal. Don't feel.

Put on a show."

Suddenly, the candlestick and ornament iced over. Elsa gasped,

"Make one wrong move

and everyone will know."

She put them back down onto the table and tried to reassure herself. Elsa put back on her gloves as she continued.

"But it's only for today.

It's agony to wait."

Elsa knew now that she had to get this day over with. She quickly opened the library doors, raised her voice and sang to the servants.

"Tell the guards to open up

the gates!"

Finally, the gates opened! Elsa went to the window again and she saw Anna moving through the crowd, admiring the people around her. At least someone was having a good time.

"Don't let them in.

Don't let them see.

Be the good girl you always have to be.

Conceal.

Conceal.

Don't feel.

Don't let them knowwwww!"

Then the bells rang, letting her know she was going to have to be at the church to be crowned queen of Arendelle. So she took her leave.

When Elsa arrived and walked down the isle all eyes were on her. Everyone except the pair of eyes she always thought of everyday day, Jack's. Elsa and he would always talk about this moment when she was a child and he said that was going to come for sure…he lied. She figured 'who could blame him?' she thought to herself. So she kept walking, eyes looking straight ahead.

But Jack really did show up. He watched away from her sight in the church. He had a sad look on his face all the time now. For years he couldn't talk to or hold her in his arms. He could only now watch her from a distance where she couldn't see him.

Elsa stood at the alter and Anna stood off to one side. Jack saw Anna peek and wave to someone in the audience unnoticed by Elsa.

The crown was placed on Elsa's head and the scepter and orb were presented to her on a pillow. She slowly reached for them when The Bishop started whisper to her.

"Your majesty, the gloves."

Elsa hesitated. She breathed nervously, removed her gloves and placed them on the pillow. Her hands shook. She took the orb and scepter, then turned to the people.

The Bishop started formal, in Old Norse "Sehm hon HELL-drr IN-um HELL-gum AYG-num ok krund ee THES-um HELL-

gah STAHTH, ehk teh frahm FUR-ear U-thear..."

Elsa was trying to listen to The Bishop's words and look at the crowd with confidence but had no such luck. She felt her powers coming and her pupils looked downwards at the scepter and orb. She saw them start to freeze over. She started to panic and she held her breath wanting the words of The Bishop to be over and done with.

"...Queen Elsa of Arendelle." He finished.

"Queen Elsa of Arendelle." The crowd said after him.

Just in time. Elsa managed to set the orb and scepter back down on the pillow before anyone noticed the ice. She picked up her gloves and slipped them back on. She had made it through the ceremony. Now all she had to do was make it through the party.

Soon it became nighttime. There was springy music that filled the Great Hall. Guests danced, some ate and some laughed and talked.

Trumpets sounded and everyone in the room stopped what they were doing.

"Queen Elsa of Arendelle!" Kai announced. Elsa entered, poised and looked surprisingly content. She stood under a formal awning.

Then he announced "Princess Anna of Arendelle!" Anna ran into the room and waved awkwardly. Kai ushered her over to stand right next to Elsa.

Surprised, Anna said. "Here? Are you sure? Because I don't think I'm supposed to…" Kai left her standing next to Elsa before she got to say anything else.

She and Elsa sneaked awkward peeks at each other. Elsa knew Anna wasn't comfortable around her anymore and she felt sorry. Elsa figured that she'd better say something to Anna. After all, this was going to be the only time she would be around her sister she'd better take advantage of it.

"…Hi." 'Wow, even one word felt good to say to her.' Elsa thought to herself.

Anna didn't look at her, thinking that Elsa was just ignoring her and talking to someone else. Then she didn't hear another voice. She looked at Elsa only to see her looking straight at her.

"Hi me? Oh. Um. Hi."

"...You look beautiful."

"Thank you. You look beautifuller. I mean, not fuller. You don't look fuller, but more beautiful." Anna corrected herself.

"Thank you." Said Elsa.

They looked at the celebration.

Elsa continued her precious conversation with Anna. She wanted to keep it going as long as possible "So, this is what a party looks like"

"It's warmer than I thought."

"And what is that amazing smell?" Elsa asked.

They both closed their eyes and inhaled.

"...Chocolate." they said in unison.

Their eyes popped open and they laughed. Elsa looked back out at the party. Anna looked at Elsa. She wanted to say so much, but she couldn't think of where to start but just as she found her way, Kai interrupted.

"Your Majesty. The Duke of Weaseltown."

"Weselton! The Duke of Weselton!" The Duke corrected in annoyance. The Duke was a slightly short elderly man. He looked at Elsa and said. "Your Majesty, as your closest partner in trade, it seems only fitting that I offer you your first dance as queen." The Duke did a funny flutter of his feet, a hitch-kick, and a deep bow. "One, two, three. Jump." He whispered to himself.

As he held out his hand to Elsa, and while bowing with his head down, his toupee dipped forward. Anna glanced at it and giggled. Elsa looked at Anna, and started to stifle a giggle herself. She tried her best to hold it in.

" Thank you...only I don't dance."

The Duke looked offended "Oh...?"

Elsa wanted to get rid of this guy fast but didn't know how. She then looked at Anna. Seeing sadly as her only option she said "But my sister does."

"What?" Anna looked at her, wide eyed.

The Duke then smiled "Lucky you..."

"Oh, I don't think-"

But The Duke grabbed Anna's arm and yanked her away before she could protest.

"If you swoon, let me know, I'll catch you." he said, pretty confident.

Anna looked back at Elsa, desperately.

"Sorry." Elsa whispered knowing that Anna could see her apologize.

Elsa watched the on the dance floor. The Duke showboated, but he was just awful. She could see Anna trying to make the best of it. She saw The Duke land on her feet and squinted at her pain. She also saw him get up in her face and he said something. Elsa wished she knew what it was. He dipped Anna back. As Elsa saw it happen and she could barely hold in her laughter. Anna shot Elsa funny, 'help-me' looks.

Moments later, Anna limped back to Elsa.

"Let me know when you're ready for another round, M'Lady." The Duke said as he walked away from them.

"Well, he was sprightly." Elsa commented as Anna was coming towards her.

Anna rubbed her sore feet. "Especially for a man in heels."

"Are you okay?"

Anna smiled, loving all the attention Elsa was giving her. "I've never been better. This is so nice. I wish it could be like this all the time."

"Me too..." Elsa said sincerely. But then Elsa caught herself. She stiffened up and looked away from her. "But it can't."

Anna was taken aback. "Why not? If…"

Elsa started to get frustrated "It just can't!"

Anna's smile dropped. She tried not to get emotional. "Excuse me for a minute." Anna walked away. Elsa watched her go, saddened.

Elsa went to walk out of the room to try and calm herself. Then Kai caught her.

"Your Majesty, where are you going?" he asked. "Aren't you enjoying the celebration?"

"Oh, yes, of course. I was just going to the courtyard to get some fresh air for a few minutes." Elsa said.

"Oh. Well, don't be gone for too long. There are still many people wanting to congratulate you." Kai told her politely.

"Alright." She gave him a fake smile and then walked out the door."

It was a beautiful warm night. Elsa looked up at the moon. It some how made her feel a little better. She missed Jack more than ever.

"Beautiful night isn't it?" said someone in the corner of her eye. She turned and saw no one.

She started to feel a bad aura. A little worried, she raised her voice. "Who goes there? Show yourself!"

"Now, now. Calm down, my princess. Or should I say my 'queen' now. My, how you've grown." Then the figure showed it's self. It was Pitch.

Elsa now had wide eyes. She backed away from him in fear. "Wh-who are you? Where did you come from?"

"Elsa, I said calm down." He came closer to her.

Elsa started to get angry. She bravely stood up straight. "How dare you order me around and don't call me by my name as if you know me! You have no right!"

Pitch chuckled. "Oh, I think I do. I have known you ever since you were a child. I just haven't properly introduced myself to you yet." Pitch walked up closer to her "My name is Pitch." He bent down on one knee, tightly grabbed her hand and kissed it, pretending to be a gentleman.

Elsa squinted in disgust. She was thankful that she was wearing gloves. She pulled her hand from his. "Don't touch me!"

"I'm just being friendly. Isn't that really what you need right now? A friend?"

"Not if it's you. Leave me be!"

"You shouldn't order your friends around, my dear."

"You're not my friend!" she yelled. Then Elsa remembered he said that he knew her since was a child. "…You've known she since I was a child? How so?"

"Well, I'm the cause of your nightmares that have been with you for years."

"What? All that was you?" she was shocked.

"Yes, have you been enjoying them?" he smirked.

"H-how?"

"I have to power to. You didn't actually think that The Sandman was the only one who had control over people's sleep did you?" He snickered.

"But why? Why me? Why would you do that to me?!" she screamed. "That means you're the reason why I can't control my powers!" Suddenly the plants in the courtyard started to freeze and then welt.

Pitch looked at the frozen courtyard. "This is why." He said gesturing to the whole courtyard.

Elsa looked around. "Oh, no…" She squeezed her eyes shut and chanted quietly to herself. "Conceal it. Don't feel it. Don't let it show. Conceal it. Don't feel it. Don't let it show."

"That won't work. Those words mean nothing. Stop depending on them." Pitch told her.

"Stop it! Leave me alone and forget you saw this otherwise I'll call the guards to arrest you!" Elsa threatened.

"They won't see me. I'm no different than your Jack Frost." He referred to Elsa and smiled.

"Don't you dare mention Jack!" she pointed a finger at him. You're nothing like him! He's sweet and kind and I-I-" Elsa stopped herself. She turned away from Pitch and held herself.

"I know how you really feel about him. I know why you sent him away and never wanted him to come back." He roughly turned her around by her shoulder then grabbed her by her chin. "I know that you love him."

Elsa pushed him away "That's not true! You don't know what you're talking about!"

"You're wrong. I know everything, especially about you. You know, many years ago I promised myself that I would kidnap you on this night." He said with a voice that made her shiver.

"Don't you dare!" Elsa warned.

"I won't now. I want to see how tonight plays out without me interfering. It is, after all, a very important day. Though I know that your time outside the castle is far from over." Suddenly he quickly slashed out dark magic at her and it hit her sending her to the ground.

Elsa got up. She looked all around her body, looking if anything was wrong with it. Elsa was curious she didn't feel any pain and didn't even have a scratch. Elsa was confused. The magic he had used was so powerful that it forced her to the ground.

"What did you just do?" Elsa asked, scared.

"I just gave your powers an upgrade." He snickered.

"What did you do to it?"

"Let's just say that you now not only make things out of ice but living things made of ice and snow as well..."

"What?" she said as her eyes widened. She looked down at her hands. Then looked back up to look at Pitch. But he wasn't there anymore.

Elsa uncomfortably walked into the great hall party still shaken up by her first meeting with Pitch and the so-called 'upgrade' to her powers he gave her.

She tried to avoid as many people who would try to talk to her. That's when she suddenly saw her sister come towards her with a man in toe.

"Oh, there she is. Elsa!" she heard Anna say. She quickly gathered herself to make it look like everything was fine. Anna curtseyed awkwardly. "I mean...Queen... Me again. Um. May I present Prince Hans of the Southern Isles.

The prince bowed to her. "Your Majesty." The prince was a handsome man but she didn't really care to think about that right now. Elsa gave a polite but reserved curtsey.

Anna looked eager "We would like—"

Hans continued her words "-your blessing-"

"-of—"

"-our marriage!" They said together.

Elsa couldn't believe what she had just heard "Marriage?"

"Yes!" Anna said with an excited squeal.

"I'm sorry, I'm confused."

"Well, we haven't worked out all the details ourselves. We'll need a few days to plan the ceremony. Of course we'll have soup, roast, and ice cream and then-Wait. Would we live here?" Anna looked to Hans, hopeful.

"Here?" Elsa didn't know what to say. Her sister was being ridiculous.

"Absolutely!" Hans said excited with her.

Elsa had to say something, quick. "Anna—"

"Oh, we can invite all twelve of your brothers to stay with us—" Anna continued.

"What? No, no, no, no, no."

"Of course we have the room. I don't know. Some of them must—"

"Wait. Slow down. No one's brothers are staying here. No one is getting married." Elsa said, finally getting a say in the matter.

"Wait, what?" Anna said, confused.

"May I talk to you, please? Alone?" Elsa pleaded.

Anna saw Hans's worried face. She hooked arms with him. "No. Whatever you have to say, you-you can say to both of us."

"Fine. You can't marry a man you just met." Elsa said flatly.

"You can if it's true love."

Elsa couldn't believe how naïve Anna was being, "Anna, what do you know about true love?" she asked.

"More than you. All you know is how to shut people out."

Surprised and hurt by her words she became angry. "You asked for my blessing, but my answer is no. Now, excuse me."

Hans tried to do something he said "Your Majesty, if I may ease your—"

Flustered, Elsa stopped him mid-sentence. "No, you may not. And I-I think you should go." Elsa walked away. As she passed the Royal Handler she said, "The party is over. Close the gates."

"What? Elsa, no. No, wait!" Anna tried to stop her. She grabbed Elsa's hand but failed and she took off her glove instead.

Elsa gasped and spun around to reach for the glove in panic. "Give me my glove!"

Anna held the glove away from Elsa, desperate. "Elsa, please. Please. I can't live like this anymore."

Elsa fought back tears. Then she weakly said, "...Then leave." Elsa saw Anna's hurt face. It was too much. She couldn't hold it in. She turned and rushed away.

Heartbroken, Anna yelled, "...What did I ever do to you?!" The party went silent as everyone watched the sisters.

"Enough, Anna." Elsa trying to get her to stop so she could focus on calming herself.

"No. Why? Why do you shut me out?! Why do you shut the world out?! What are you so afraid of?!"

Elsa yelled, "I SAID ENOUGH!" Ice shot from Elsa's hand, and there were ice spikes across the floor! The guests cried out in shock, and backed away.

"...Sorcery. I knew there was something dubious going on here." Said The Duke as he ducked behind his men.

"Elsa...?" Anna was clearly shocked.

Elsa rushed out of the room. She burst out of the castle doors. The citizens cheered when they saw her. Jack was out there with them and he saw Elsa's panicked face. He wondered what had happened?

"There she is! Your Majesty! Long live the queen! Drink with us" there were so many people coming to greet her all at once.

Elsa ducked through the crowd, holding her bare hand. She ran into a townsman bowing to her.

"Queen Elsa." He said adoringly. Elsa ran past him and then ran into a townswoman with her baby.

"Your Majesty? Are you all right?" she asked seeing her panicked expression. Elsa backed away from the baby. Then she knocked into a fountain, and grabbed its edge. The water froze at her touch. Gasps of shock and fear swapped over the crowd. The Duke and thugs came out the doors.

"There she is! Stop her!"

"Please, just stay away from me. Stay away!" Magic accidentally shot from her hand and turned the staircase into ice. The thugs and the Duke fell.

He picked himself up then yelled, "Monster... Monster!" The crowd panicked. A snowstorm began to fall. Elsa fled.

Jack, who was watching from a short distance, couldn't believe it. Elsa had accidentally learned how to change weather like he had done years ago for Elsa.

Anna ran out of the palace doors, carrying the glove. "Elsa!" Hans followed closely behind her.

Elsa ran out of the gates and down to the water's edge. The shoreline froze under her feet. Elsa gasped. She didn't know she could do that.

Anna called to her from the gates. "Elsa! Wait, please!" Elsa glanced back at Anna, but turned away. She tentatively stepped out onto the fjord. It froze instantly. She ran as the water froze over with each step. Jack flew after her.

"Elsa, stop!" Anna rushed out onto the fjord ice. She slipped and fell.

"Anna!" Hans rushed to Anna's side. Elsa reached the far shore. She didn't look back as she scrambled into the mountains.

"No." Anna said softly and with sadness.

Hans looked ahead "Look...the fjord."

The ice went all around until the entire fjord was frozen, locking the ships in place.

(A/N) Oh my god! This is a long one but I'm pretty proud of it TBH. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
