"He was seen sneaking into the herbal store, asking for poison. We asked the shopkeeper for confirmation." Elsa crumbled to the floor, taking the temperature down with her. Gerda tried to brace the coldness, but having a hard time. The windows were already covered with ice. "Elsa, did he give you anything to consume?"
Elsa looked at her with her big troubled eyes. "He gave me wine…" She answered soullessly.
Gerda's face drains from its color and called for the guards. "Get the doctor."
The guards helped Elsa up, but she was still looking for answers. "Where's Anna?" She tried to pry off the guard's hands but they wouldn't let her.
"Kristoff came back to town and she went to see him." Gerda tried to ease her. "Now go see the doctor, dear." Elsa still looked distressed and tried to pull away. For her safety, the guards pulled her away.
On the other end of the castle, the guards threw Prince William into the cell he was in a week ago. "Please believe me!" The guards ignored his pleading and locked the door. He kneeled on the floor in distraught.
"You people repel me. Not only has this happened once, but Queen Elsa doesn't handle things like this well." The guard gestured to the cold air around them and the snow falling outside. "You ruined her from loving again." In the other cell, another group of guards rounded up Prince William's men and caged them.
"Let me go!" A pair of guards dragged Olivia to the cell beside her brother as she struggled. "My brother did no such thing!"
"Don't get her into this! I'll take all the blame for it; just don't punish her for anything. She has nothing to do with this!" Prince William clenched the iron bars with his tied hands as they locked her up.
"So you admit that you were plotting against the Queen." The guards shook their heads and left the jail. "Let's go distribute cloaks so no one will freeze."
Prince William gave his cell bars another shake as if it would miraculously break before sinking to the cold stone floor. He scooted over to the wall of bars that parted him and his sister and rested his back on it. Shivers ran down his spine and branched out to his limbs. Repeatedly, he hit the back of his head against the metal bars.
"Stop that," Olivia said with a puny voice. "You'll hurt yourself." She reached her hand over to cushion her brother's head.
Prince William turned around to face her and reached for her hand. "You know I didn't do any of this right?" Her hands were ice cold. Outside, the storm was blowing faster and faster, the cold wind seeping through the stone walls.
"I know." She shivered. "They've got good evidence against you though." Prince William went to his bunk and grabbed the sheets, sliding it through the gaps to his sister. "They saw you go into the potion store and leave with something small in a bag. Then they asked the store keeper what you bought. He said it was a poison." Olivia searched her brother's eyes for answers worriedly. "You gave Elsa wine that was different than yours. They think you poisoned it."
"I didn't though. Why would I do that?" He rested his forehead on the freezing bars. "What did they mean that this happened already?" He asked his sister, since she talked to Anna a lot.
"On Elsa's coronation day, Anna bumped into this stranger named Prince Hans from the Southern Isles. He pretended to like Anna, persuading her to marry him, only planning to take over Arendelle. He was thirteenth in line, so marrying into the title was his only choice. After they got married, he planned to kill Elsa."
Prince William lifted his head from the bars and scrubbed the spot where his head touched it. "I don't want to be king though." He wanted to enjoy his life without thinking about work or treaties. Even though he wanted to be with Elsa, he still thought the King's work is hard, but he would push through it just for her.
Outside, the winds were howling and were blowing snow everywhere. The walls started to gather moisture from the air and turned it into frost. From his men's cell, chattering of teeth were echoing down the hall.
"Aren't you cold?" Olivia trembled her way to her brother, dragging her set of blankets over, offering it to him.
Prince William stopped staring at the floor and looked at his sister. "No, why?" Olivia spat on the floor beside them, it turning into ice before it touched the floor. She kicked it to the other side of the room and wrapped herself with the blanket. He looked around the room, which is covered with frost. Prince William stood up and took off the bed sheets from his bed and gave it to Olivia for more warmth.
"How are you not cold?" His sister's teeth rambled in her skull as she sat on the floor in front of her brother. Prince William shrugged and held his sister's cold hands, enclosing it with his warm ones.
The whole kingdom of Arendelle was addressed to stay indoors and keep warm. Guards and volunteers helped distribute cloaks to homes in the blizzard. In the mean time, Elsa was being checked up by the doctor, still unresponsive. All she could think was what happened and where her sister was. Everything happened too quickly too; too quick for her to process. Why would Prince William do that to her? Why now?
"I need to get to Anna." Elsa tried to stand up, but the doctor eased her back down.
"She's fine, but I suggest keeping her indoors and getting her to calm down," he told Gerda. They were both wrapped with layers of cloak and scarves. It was white out. Visibility was down to zero.
"I need to get to Anna," she said once again in a monotonous voice. This time, she flung the doctor's hand away and ran down the hallway. Tears filled her eyes as the events were finally sinking in. He played with my heart. She pried open the entrance doors, letting a strong blast of snow and wind into the castle. I need to find Anna. I need her right now. She ran down the courtyard and turned left without any help from her eyes, since she knew the land like the back of her hand.
"Anna!" It was useless; the howling of the wind swallowed her voice. Tears streamed down her face, forming ice droplets. It wasn't her heart brokenness causing this storm; it was the conflicting feelings inside of her. She knew that he would never do that, but there was evidence against him. She knew that the look in his eyes was sincere, but everyone could pretend. She knew that he could explain himself, but she couldn't bring herself to listen to it.
Distracted, Elsa fell down. The winds were pushing her down, as if it wants to bury her. "Anna!" She fights against the storm and reached for the door to Kristoff's house. The cold air was sucked into the house, taking Elsa in with it. She brushed the hair out of her face and searched the bare room for her sister.
"It's empty," She whispers hopelessly. The only thing in the house was a lit candle, which quivered furiously against the wind. Suddenly, a loud thump came from the adjacent room. Elsa scrambled to her feet and ran to the noise, hoping it was Anna.
"Kristoff?" Kristoff kicked over a barrel to tell Elsa that he was behind the wall. He had his mouth covered with cloth and his hands and feet were tied. She quickly un-wrapped the tie around his mouth first and then his arms and legs.
"This guy took her," He said breathlessly. Elsa's eyes grew wide. "He took her; him and his friend." Kristoff got up and rubbed his wrists. "I don't know where they took her."
"Who?" Elsa couldn't wrap her mind around the fact that someone kidnapped her sister.
"I don't know, but they took Sven too, but that's a good thing. He'll come back and lead us to them," Kristoff assured her. "But first you need to stop this storm."
Elsa looked up at him with worried eyes. "I-I can't. I don't know how."
"Try. Try and remember how you felt when Anna sacrificed her life for yours."
Elsa shut her eyes and clenched her teeth. Don't feel, Elsa, don't feel! She ransacked her brain for how she felt that day, only giving her more stress. Kristoff looked worriedly at her, knowing that the storm wasn't going to cease.
"Wait." Kristoff rubbed his head as if he had been clubbed, his eyes growing wider. "They hit her. When she came through the door, they knocked her out. They already had me tied up. I was bait."
That struck a chord. Elsa stopped processing anything else and fell down on the floor, bringing the blizzard to a halt; snowflakes were left suspended in the air. At the same time, Sven comes through the door, furiously grunting at them.
Kristoff pulled Elsa up by her arm. "I knew it would work." Elsa looked up at him, confused. "I knew the thought of your sister getting hurt would help clear up the storm."
"So she's not hurt?" She took Kristoff's hand and propped herself up.
Kristoff tilted his head to the right, as if he was unsure. "I can't promise that." He picked Elsa up and placed her on Sven. "She will be if we don't hurry up." He mounted Sven and held Elsa's arms tightly so she wouldn't fall off.
The fjords were once again frozen, making travel across it easier for Christoph and Jones. Behind them, Anna was struggling furiously to free herself from their grip. "Remind me to thank your sister for making traveling easier."
"Let me go!" She once again tried to twist out of their grip to no avail.
"Soon I will."
"Where are you taking me?" Anna tried to walk for a change, hoping that if she stopped struggling they would answer some of her questions.
"The forest," Jones answered. The storm was blowing harder every minute. Christoph and Jones literally had to tow Anna, for she would have flown away with the wind if they didn't tightly grip her arms.
"Ow! You guys are hurting me!" Anna tried to squirm free again.
Christoph abruptly stopped and looked at Jones's silhouette. "Where's the reindeer?"
"I thought you had it."
"You idiot!" Christoph punched Jones on the arm and forcefully pulled Anna forward.
"Well, I'm sorry I can't even see your face in this storm, even though we're a foot apart." As if on cue, the blizzard suddenly stopped. The snow was already up to their knees.
Christoph looked around and slapped his forehead. "We've been walking the wrong way!" He tugs on Anna again, as if she was a rag doll, and started walking the other way. "No worries, no one knows where we are."
"Someone died," Anna whispered soullessly.
"What?" Jones turned around to face her.
"This only happens when she knows someone is dead." Christoph stopped pulling her and let go of her arm.
"Maybe she's dead." Christoph grinned. "Your sister is a weak one. She can't handle this much stress. First, her boyfriend breaks her heart, and now her poor little sister is gone." Anna fell into the snow, clutching her hands.
Luckily, she fell on time as Kristoff whacked both of their heads as they rode past them.
"Anna!" Sven stopped and left Elsa off. She trampled over the snow, but she still made her way to her sister.
"Elsa!" Anna embraced her sister, feeling her warmth radiating towards her. The snow particles started to reverse their fall, slowly drifting upwards.
As the sisters were hugging, Kristoff loaded the two unconscious men on Sven, tying their hands and feet together first, getting ready to bring them to the castle's cell. Sven was infuriated with them, but he gladly let them unconsciously mooch off a ride from him, knowing that they were going to end in jail.
"Let's get back to the castle," Anna said. "You must be sad about what happened with Prince William."
Elsa's breathing staggered, but she managed to steady it again. "That's the least of the matters right now. We need to get these two questioned first."
In the Castle.
As soon as they arrived to the castle, the guards took the two struggling men off of Sven and sat them down in their cell. Despite of what she said earlier, Elsa's gaze was drifting towards Prince William, who has dozed off against the divider between him and his sister. On the other cell, Olivia was wrapped thickly with blankets and bed sheets, and has fallen over to her side.
Anna pulled her sister in front of his cell, telling the guards to wake him up and restrain him, even though she knew it was unnecessary. Elsa just stood there quietly, watching as Prince William snap back to life as the guards lifted him to a chair.
"Elsa…" Prince William's crystal blue eyes shimmered under the lights. "I didn't plan anything that they said, I swear." Anna looked down on the floor, not knowing what to think, but Elsa just looked back at him without saying a word.
"The storekeeper said you bought poison," The guard said.
"Well, he's lying! Why would I even do that?" Prince William jerked off the guard's restraining hand on his shoulder and sat up.
The guard patted Prince Williams' pockets and came across a small hard object. "What's this?" Everyone's eyes were fixated on the guard's hands as he pulled out a small velvet box. Prince William looked back at Elsa with pleading eyes as the guard opened it.
"A ring."
