What's up all? Hope you all are doing well. I should totally be doing my homework as it's the last week of school for the semester, but I'm writing this instead... I only have to finish 4 eassy's (2 research essay's), and a speech. One Essay (1 of the 2 research essay) due tomorrow as well as the speech, but I just can't stay off Fanfiction... Sigh, it's like a drug, but I would rather be addicted to this sight than any of the other real drugs out in the world. Moving on, if you want to skip the geek out/rant, go for it as it is probably only relevant to those that watch the TV Show Once Upon A Time. If you don't watch it, you can skip ahead, or not. It's your choice. And if you do watch it, you can skip ahead or read the two paragraphs below.

And begin geek out/rant: I don't know about you guys, but I haven't stopped freaking out over the New OUAT episode! OMG! I love that show! I have like this love/hate feeling towards Ingrid, and now after this episode, I think I'm on the love side of it. It was back and forth throughout this season, but she had so many different things happen to her that it was like, okay, I totally understand why she did what she did and it was very similar to Regina in a way. Their back stories just portray them as characters that weren't born evil, but made evil because of the things that happened to them in their past. And they totally did the Frozen storyline justice in my opinion (which is probably very biased) and the people who played the characters looked spot on from the movie! Especially Georgina Haig as Elsa! Holy crap, if there ever is a live adaptation for Frozen, I want her to play the part because she literally looks as if the 3-D animated character walked off the TV screen and into our world when Georgina is in the iconic ice dress! And I loved how they tied in the original story of "The Snow Queen" in to the "Frozen" part, and the fact that Elsa and Anna's mother's name was Gerda. I loved it! Which makes me think that their father's name was Kai. I hope it was because it would be so cute!

And holy crap! Freaking Rumpelstiltskin, ARGH! He's just one of those characters that you love to hate sometimes! Especially how he is forcing Hook to become the villain in a way because Rumple now holds his heart! I love the Captain Swan pairing, and he's just ruining it! God, he does NOT deserve to be married to Belle! Then again, I have never liked the whole Rumbelle paring anyways... And I'll probably get mobbed for that but hey, whatever. But seriously, I hate, HATE the Rumbelle! I mean, Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite Disney movies because it's one of the closest stories to reflect falling in love (minus the whole bestiality thing cause, let's be honest, Adam was an animal for most of the movie) but I don't like it in the show. God I would rather have Belle with Gaston in OUAT than with Rumpelstiltskin all day long! That's how much I hate Rumbelle! I would have preferred Corra x Rumple pairing much more, and with all that Belle has done in the series, she deserves way better than Rumple.

Anyways, hopefully I didn't bore you or anything with my rant, if so... Sorry! I just really like the show and can't help but geek out/rant about it.

Thanks for all the reviews and fav's/follows! I love them all equally! They always make my day when I get a new one!

Here's what you all really came here for, the next chapter! Enjoy!


Chapter 9

Learning the Truth

Arendelle, Norway. September 3, 1797.

King Adgar leaned back in his chair, his thoughts way to frazzled to finish the letter he was writing to his sister, Primrose. He had received one earlier this year from her, talking about how her and her husband, King Thomas, had celebrated their daughters 13th birthday in the spring, even though she was still missing, and they lit their lanterns and releasing them into the sky, in hopes that she would see them and come back home. They were still searching, and haven't given up hope yet, but it had already been 13 and a half years since she was kidnapped, and he didn't want her to believe that they were never going to see her again, but he also didn't want them to find her dead somewhere either… He couldn't imagine what she had to be going through, and hoped she would find their daughter, and his niece, Rapunzel soon. He reminiscing about how it was such a rough time for her and her Kingdom, and for him as well, especially after he had heard that she wasn't doing too well while she was pregnant with her daughter. He almost set sail for Corona the day he received that letter, wanting to help his younger sister and be by her side to give strength to get through the pregnancy. Idun had convinced him otherwise, and not even a month later, another letter was received about how a magical flower was found that had the properties to heal his sister.

He was relieved and happy for her, she was finally going to have a child. She had been trying for one for years, and finally, she got her wish… but it didn't last for long, because within the same week as his niece's birth, she was kidnapped, and still hasn't been found. He felt his heart break at the news, and did everything he could to help them find their daughter, but he had to end his search of three years short when he his wife had gone into labor with Elsa.

They talked, though not as much as they used to, but enough to know the general idea of what was going on in each others lives. They knew about Elsa's powers, and were supportive of them, not like other royals that would curse Elsa and call her a witch or monster. Of course they were the only other royals that knew about Elsa's powers, but that was also for Elsa's protection. It was what he in turn, preached to Anna, that she should always look after her sister and protect her no matter what. And in the six years she had spent with Elsa, it warmed his heart the way she was always gentle and patient with her, supporting her little sister in everything, whether it was teaching her how to read or just to hold her close after a nightmare. Anna did everything she could to make her sister happy, and it all reminded him of himself and his little sister when they ran through the very same halls doing the same things. And then came the accident… He knew it was just an accident, but he had been so afraid that night, Elsa not moving and Anna passing out right after a sliver of her hair had turned white, her skin being ice cold. He thought he was going to lose them both that night. He shuddered at the memory. He often thought about how he almost had to suffer that pain, and it was then that he was finally able to see and almost completely understand what his sister had went through when Rapunzel was kidnapped.

"Adgar, relax. Anna will be fine. She's just… adjusting… to the news. If I was placed in her position, I would feel the same way. Just give her some time to sort things out." His wife soothed, rubbing his shoulders in a comforting manner. He turned in his chair to look at her, gazing into her soft brown eyes with a look of sorrow in his.

"I know… I just…" He exhaled, "I just wish we had waited until she had calmed down after her outburst at Elsa's door. It would have saved us a lot of trouble."

"Maybe… and maybe not. But it doesn't matter now, all we can do is wait until she comes to us for answers. And if I know Anna, we shouldn't have to wait much longer." Queen Idun reasoned, just as a soft knock on the door sounded. A ghost of a smile spread across the Queens lips, "I'll bet that's Anna now."

"Mother? Father? Are you in there?" Anna's voice called through the door.

"Yes." The Queen answered. The door slowly creaked open, and a head full of red hair, with one streak of white, poked through to examine the room before opening the door wider and fully entering before closing the door behind her. The King and Queen watched as their daughter walked to the middle of the room, though is seemed as if she was unsure about actually being in the room.

"I'm sorry about my actions earlier today. I know they weren't ladylike and I should hav-" Anna was cut off in her speech when her mother had pulled her into a hug, not letting her continue.

"That's okay, I know you were just frustrated with all that has been going on. You had every right to be upset." Her mother shushed her as Anna finally returned the hug, though her eyes stayed focused on her father.

"Father?" Anna whispered through her mother's shoulder. Adgar stood up from his chair, and walked around his desk towards his daughter and wife, placing a hand on Queen Idun's shoulder, and pulled the two into a group hug. It lasted for several seconds before he had to, regretfully, break apart the moment.

"Anna," He smiled as he spoke, he was proud of his daughter, they way she voiced her opinion and how relentless she was to try and talk to her sister after their separation. He hated how he had to split them apart, but it was necessary for both of their safety. He needed her to understand that, but also that he was doing this for their own good as well, "I don't want you to think you are in trouble for you actions on Elsa's door. It was un-lady like, but I want you to know that I'm proud of you for trying so hard to help your sister. Even when we are keeping you apart." He watched as she smiled, and he could tell she was relieved at what he was telling her.

"But, you have to understand that I did separate you for a reason. One we were going to tell you before you fled your room." He continued, pulling Anna towards the couch with his wife following and sitting down on the other side of Anna.

"Why did you do that? I understand that there was an accident, but why didn't I remember it?" Anna asked, "Why were you hiding this from me?"

"At the time, we were so concerned with saving your life that we didn't fully think through the consequences that would have occurred afterwards. For that we are so sorry, we believed at the time that we were doing what we thought was best for the two of you."

"So… What did happen?" Anna asked curiously, though she was still upset and it was evident in her tone.

"We are not fully sure, all we know is that we found you and your sister in the ballroom, Elsa wasn't moving and you were trying to get her to wake up." Adgar explained, he could see Anna struggling to try and remember it.

"And when your father asked you to tell him what happened, your hair turned white." Idun cut in, her hand gently twirling the strand that was white. Anna chuckled at that statement.

"I figured I wasn't born with it."

"You started chattering as you spoke, saying you were cold and that your head hurt and then you passed out. Landing in your mother's lap. We were so scared! First your sister, then you…" Her father trailed off, pulling her into a hug. Anna understood, at least she believed that she did, and could now put the pieces together as to why everything had changed so suddenly. And she couldn't really be mad at her parents for what they did. Sure she was mad because they kept her out of the loop, but she realized that they thought both her and Elsa were going to die, or were already dead. The more she thought about it, the more she realized that she probably would have panicked just like they did. Did they go a little overboard? Probably, but they thought they were doing the right thing to save each of their lives. A stray thought popped into her head as she mulled over the recent revelations, would this mean she could finally be able to talk to Elsa, actually talk to her and comfort her rather than knocking on a door and hoping that it would open or the Elsa would answer? She really hoped so…

"We took the two of you to the trolls, and they helped you by saving your life, but they couldn't do anything to help Elsa… so when we returned, we thought it was best to separate the two of you until we knew exactly what was wrong." Her father continued, "And when she woke up the next day, she didn't remember much from the night before, or much of her life before…"

Anna pulled back from the hug and stared at her parents in shock, voicing her question out loud, "Elsa didn't remember?"

"Not for the first few days, and it slowly started to come back over the next two weeks but when she did finally remember, she didn't want to hurt you again, and requested that you two were separated until she could control her powers." Her father stated sadly, "and I thought it was for the best as well."

"What about the Guard?" Anna asked hesitantly, though she already knew the answer, she asked anyways as if it would ease her mind to hear the same answer again.

"That was at Elsa's request. She was so scared that her powers would fly through the door and hurt someone, and wanted someone there that would be able to stop people from coming any closer when she felt out of control. She was so afraid of hurting you again." Her mother whispered.

"Yes, Erik, he has been Elsa's personal guard since she was born, similar to how Anderson is your personal guard. And while both are a part of the Royal Guard, their main job is to watch over and protect the two of you." The King explained.

"I always wondered why it was always those two that were with us all the time… Wait, did they know about Elsa's powers?"

"Yes, but they are part of a select few Royal Guards that do know, along with a few of the maids and servants inside the Castle know as well. All sworn to secrecy as well, so don't worry about it getting out."

"But why? You always told me look out for my sister, and protect her cause she's family, and then you don't let me ever see her? I mean, she's my little sister. I'm not afraid of her or her powers." Anna protested, hurt and confused.

"I know I did. And your right, you should always look out for your sister, we thought it was for the best at the time…"

"But maybe," Queen Idun interrupted, causing both Anna and The King to look at her expectantly, "We could let the girls interact a little?" she watched as Anna's eyes lit up at the idea, before seeing her husband frown in thought, "It wouldn't be that bad would it? Anna deserves to be able to see her sister, right?"

"Please?" Anna asked quietly, internally praying to the gods that he would say yes.

"I'll have to think about it…"

"Adgar…"

"Elsa will need to know about this, and you know how she is with seeing other people now."

"Even if it was just for dinner? Heaven knows we haven't eaten like a proper family at the dinner table in a long time." The Queen argued back, "Plus, I think the fresh air would do her some good."

"Please Papa, please?" Anna begged using the old name she used to have for her father, just seeing her sister at dinner would satisfy the need to just see her sister. Anna knew that it would only be for the one day, but she knew she could get Elsa to trust her, let her know that she was always going to be there for her little sister, control or no control, and that she had already forgiven Elsa for the accident because that's all it was, and accident.

"Alright, fine. But only one night… We will see how it goes before we make it a permanent thing." The King sighed in defeat. Truthfully, he wanted Elsa to be the happy little girl she once was, and he hoped that this would get her back on track.

"Thank you Papa, thank you!" Anna gratefully, hugging both her parents before getting up to head out the door, humming a tune to herself as she went.

"Anna, just let us be the ones to tell Elsa. Okay?" Her mother called out to her.

"Okay!" Anna answered, still excited about dinner and how Elsa was going to finally come out of her room for what seemed like the first time in forever, returning to her tune after she replied. Thinking that it was a great line for a song, she began singing to herself as she left the room.

"For the first time in forever,

I get see my sister soon,

For the first time in forever,

Elsa is leaving her room.

Don't know if I'm elated or gassy?

But I'm somewhere in that zone!

Cause for the first time in forever,

I won't eat dinner alone!"

When the doors closed, and Anna was far enough away to the point that they couldn't hear her singing anymore, King Adgar sighed heavily, gaining the attention of his wife.

"Adgar?"

"Are we doing the right thing? By letting Elsa join us for dinner? Not that I'm complaining, because it would be nice to sit down together as a family, but…" He was cut off by a sole finger pressed to his lips from his wife.

"Relax. Elsa and Anna need this. They need each other, just like we have been teaching them. What you have been teaching them." She smiled sadly, pulling her hand away after she finished.

"I know… I just…" He took a deep breath to steady himself before continuing, "I just don't want them to be disappointed in this if it doesn't go as they planned."

"Well, then we just have to be strong, for them." Idun smiled, pulling his chin so that he was looking her in the eyes, before giving him a short but sweet kiss on his lips, "Come on, we need to go let Elsa know about the change in plans, as well as the servants and the cook."

King Adgar nodded, giving his wife the same sweet kiss before the two of them headed out to talk to Elsa again.


And done. And yes, I have incorporated Rapunzel and that movie into this story. I love the whole theory about the two families being related, plus in the movie Frozen, Rapunzel and Eugene (Flynn) do make a camo appearance during the song, "For the first time in forever" so... I felt that it would be fun to add them as well. Plus I have a feeling that they would have had a way bigger affect on the Frozen storyline if they were actual characters in the movie rather than just having a camo appearance. I some other ideas that I'm tossing around in my head for this story but maybe I'll save those for a sequel, but with what has already been written being only within the first, what maybe twenty minutes of the movie, we still have a long way to go. Plus I have no idea what I would do for the sequel if I decided to write one... Well, okay I do, but it's not very solid, so not really a good storyline for it yet... But lets just get through this story first. Maybe I'll put hints throughout this story as to where the sequel will go or include, and if I decide not to do a sequel, then they are just parts of the story, but if I do make a sequel, then it's like foreshadowing(?) maybe? Idk, but yea... Your thoughts?

Hopefully I got my math right with the years... Me and numbers don't mix, which is why I'm an English major so I don't have to deal with numbers. But, if I did mess up my math, let me know. Anna is about five years older than Elsa, and Rapunzel should be about three years older than Elsa. So, again assuming I did my math right, it should mean that Anna is 15, Elsa is 10, and Rapunzel is 13. Hopefully I wrote that the right way too in the story... If not, well, like I said two seconds ago, let me know.

So, I'll see you all at the next chapter! Bye!
