"Couple of years ago, I came to Arendelle with my family in order to...start over.."
Anna's eyebrows raised when she heard this. What did she mean by that? Kristoff pull Sven close as they both listen contentedly to Elsa's story. Elsa exhaled "We heard about how Arendelle was a land with many opportunities so my parents thought it was best place to settle down. I was happy that we didn't have to travel anymore. We lived on the outskirts of town, where my dad build the house from the ground up. He was very handy. My mom helped out as well. She was very handy and smart. My baby sister, Anne was a joy to be around. She would always know when to make you feel good and was very caring, sweet, and loving. Even though our family looked normal, there was something that made us unique and that was me being born with ice powers. I was the only one in my family that had powers and I had to be extra careful because of that. Don't want those slipping out, would we?"
Anna nodded in agreement.
"So eventually, me and Anne would go out and play around with my powers near the town but not too close. We made sure to keep our distance. We never told our parents about it so it was a secret between two sisters. When one day was a success, we began to do it everyday, well until...that day" Elsa said with a different tone of voice.
"Then what happened Elsa?" Anna asked with high curiosity. She really wanted to know what happened to her on that day. What could have possibly happen?
"One day, me and Anne were playing around with my powers. Creating snowballs and making snow forts and snow angels. Until these two boys came up to us. One tried to talk to get at Anne but I pushed him away. This made the other boy mad and he punched me hard in my stomach. I quickly recover and grab the boy's hand so tightly that an ice spear cut his arm! It happen so quickly that neither of us registered it. That's when the boy who tried to get at Anne, caught me off guard and came at me with a solid kick square to my chest! I fell hard on that one and clutch my chest as began to wheeze a little. The two boys just snickered at me as they stood before me with evil grins. They then began to kick me all over repeatedly and repeatedly again."
"Those bastards!" Anna blurted out, startling Kristoff and Sven but manage an eyebrow raised from Elsa. "Sorry. Continue" Anna apologized after seeing what she did. Elsa nodded and began to proceed again with her story.
"Suddenly, one of the boys pulled a dagger out and aimed it at me. I heard Anne's screaming and the boys' cruel laughter. I then saw the boy got into place with his dagger and he said to me 'nighty night' and thrust down! I closed my eyes and waited for the sheer pain to rip through my skin but all I got was two boys screaming in unison! I opened my eyes to see the other boy staring with wide eyes and follow it to the boy, who was holding his dagger, gripping onto his frozen arm. Wait. Frozen? I don't remember any part of my body shooting out any ice. That's when I found myself looking back at the boy with the wide eyes and traced it to where he was looking at. When I finally traced it back, my eyes couldn't help but widen as well! There stood my baby sister with her hand out, ready to attack again if she had to. I was between the mixture of shock and happiness for my baby sister.
The boy with the now frozen arm charged at Anne but I quickly shot out a blast of ice that ended up hitting his chest, making him completely frozen! His friend yelled the boy's name as he fell back in fear. He quickly scrambled on to his feet and took off towards the town. Something told me it's not going to be good."
"Of course it's not and hold on. I thought you said you were the only one with powers?" Anna questioned with utter disbelief! Elsa shrugged her shoulders "I thought so too but apparently that was not the case. Anyways, after registering what she has done, Anne began to panic! I tried to keep her calm but that didn't work out. I knew I had to get Anne out of here but I know we couldn't leave together because one of us had to stay here and protected the other one, since that boy had escaped and probably went to tell people what he saw. And that person was going to be me! I told Anne to run and to never look back. She hesitated at first but when she heard the sounds of angry townspeople, she took off like a bolt! I then turn back ready to stand my ground against these townspeople but suddenly, I was hit by a dart in the arm. I felt like my senses were off when that happened but I thought nothing of it so I pulled it out. Then, out of nowhere, I was hit by one more than two than three!"
Anna gasped.
"By the time I was hit by the fourth one, my body already succumbed to the darkness of the pain. I woke up not too long afterwards and found myself bounded by chains. I tug and tug but to no avail. It was hopeless. Suddenly, I heard roaring of people not to far from where I was. Desperate to know what was going on, I manage to break through the chains by freezing them. Once I did that, I turn and broke through the wall with a powerful ice blast! I then took off as fast I can."
"You were really strong Elsa" Anna commented which made Elsa smirked.
"I finally made it to the roaring people but what I saw next totally broke I saw my mom, dad, and poor Anne tied against their own personal crosses."
Anna, Kristoff, and Sven shared an equal gasped.
"They look so helpless and I was powerless to do anything about it. A tear manage to slip down my face and for some strange reason, they all manage to look over at me. They had such sincere faces display on them. As if they didn't blame me for any of this happening to them. Suddenly, a man came up with a torch in his hand. He addressed the crowd with some ritual and before I knew it, he set my parents' crosses on fire! My parents screamed out in pain but not Anne. She refused to do so because she knew it would have hurt me as well."
Elsa wiped away a tear before it made itself visible on her face. "The flames kept getting larger and our parents' screams were finally silenced but Anne just kept on staring at me as if I was the only one there. As if she was not about to be burn next. The man then walk over to her and set her cross on fire. People cheered and applauded as they watch my sister get burned alive! I was angry to the point that I want to latch out on them but Anne did something to me that I'll never forget"
Anna felt her curiosity being spike up to a new level. "What did she do?"
Elsa smile at her. "She smiled." Anna was confused by this and Elsa couldn't help but to let out a watery chuckle. "I know right? You're being burned to death but you smiled? Sounds silly but it was true." Elsa sighed a little at the memory. "Despite of what was going on, Anne only focused on me. People were yelling and screaming profanity things at her but she just smile. When the flames became more intense, she let a tear rolled down her face and it broke me! She then continued to look at me and mouthed out those words. God, those words of all things! It had to be that!"
Anna felt her heart cringing as she watch Elsa go into a hysterical fit. She wonder what did Anne actually said to her so she asked. "What did she said to you Elsa? What did Anne said?" Elsa calm down and look at Anna. Her eyes were starting to turn red due to her holding them back. With a shudder breath, Elsa said the words Anne said to her that day.
"Do you wanna build a snowman?"
Anna literally felt her heart stop. That's what she always asked Elsa. Her Elsa. When they were younger, heck, she still does it now! Anna quickly snap back to reality when she heard Elsa starting to continue again.
"After she said that, she closed her eyes and was too engulfed in the flames! I only wish I got to hear it one more time.
Everyone cheered and I just screamed! That made everyone turned towards me with confused looks on their faces. But I wasn't paying no attention, mines was on the man who single handily took away my family from me. It was liked the man seem to know who I was because he stared at me with a cruel smile and I hated it! Without hesitation, I froze him on the spot! Everyone began to freaked out and guards began to circle around me. At that point, I didn't care. At this point, I've changed. I wanted them to feel the pain I felt when I lost my family! So I stood before them and said loudly "Listen well. All of you! I promise as long as I live, I will make sure that Arendelle will never see prosperity! No Kingdom will want to trade with you because they will see no point to trade with a frozen Kingdom! All crops will never grow and people will know starvation and coldness! Get ready to feel the wrath of an eternal winter!"
Then with the snap of my fingers, an eternal winter slowly began to start and I disappeared in the swirling vortex. Never to be seen again."
"Elsa..." Was all Anna could said.
"As each day passed, I began to grow more colder and distant from everyone. I began to hate everything expect for when I made my very own Ice Palace, that was the only thing I was proud of but nothing more. Eventually, I became very lonely. I remember what Anne said and I began to create families of snowmen but it wasn't the same as a real family so I got rid of it. I looked outside the balcony and I saw that my powers were still in effect and Arendelle was completely frozen. A smile slowly crept on my face. At least Arendelle was suffering and that was all I needed to know. Though, a felt kinda bad later on"
Anna couldn't help but felt pity towards Elsa. She really did a big change around for sure.
"Fortunately, word quickly spread about the King and Queen of Arendelle wanting to get rid of me and I figure that this would be good. So one day, one stormy day. I sneak into the Castle with so much quiet fury that a thick ice trail was trailing behind me like a baby following its mother. I remember I was looking for your parents room but there was so many rooms in that darn Castle. However, I was not going to give up on finding them that's for sure. As I was walking, I happen to stumble across a room with the door slightly open. I walk inside and there I found something more important than your parents"
Anna suddenly felt unease. "What did you found?"
Elsa slightly smirk at Anna. "I found a little cradle in the middle of the room. I slowly began to approach it to see what was inside it. When I looked inside, to my surprise, I found life. A baby." Elsa then point at her to make herself very clear of who she found. "You. I found you. You were the biggest baby I ever saw and you had a small patch of strawberry blonde hair on top of your hair and your tiny body was outstretched inside your crib."
Anna smiled when Elsa said that and Elsa notice this quickly.
You were so ugly I almost felt sorry for you." Elsa added in.
Anna scowled at her comment but Elsa ignore her.
"I picked you up from your crib with one hand while an ice dagger began to shape in my other hand at that point and..." Elsa stop for a second before she continue.
Anna suddenly felt a chill run down her spine as she saw Elsa's hand starting to clench tightly!
"I wanted to kill you. I have to kill you" Elsa said angrily. Ice started to take form into spikes in the corners. Kristoff and Sven eyed one alarmingly as a spike came into between them! Anna saw this and quickly look back at Elsa with frantic eyes but Elsa was not paying attention to her at all. "I had to show them what it was like to lose something precious"
Anna didn't know what to say. She was angry that her parents did such a thing. She didn't even blame Elsa if she wanted to kill her then. Heck! She wouldn't even blame her now that she wanted to kill her. As much as she wanted to say something, she wanted to respect Elsa and give her the time she need to finish her story. She was really curious of what she was going to say next and if she was going to really go through with it.
"But I didn't" Elsa said as if she was saying it more to herself than the others.
Anna blinked in utter confusion and shock! Did she heard that right?
"What?! But why?! You had a perfect opportunity to exact revenge on my parents for what they have done to you and your family! Why didn't you take it?!" Anna yelled at her. Anna felt her eyes burning from anger and sadness. Elsa didn't deserve to be alone like this. Force to live with wounds that will never heal. Yet, she doesn't act upon it?! What's wrong with her?!
Elsa look at her with sympathetic eyes and says something that made Anna literally froze in her spot.
"You had nothing to do with this so it wasn't right for me to do that to you. You deserved to live and have a chance unlike me"
Anna didn't say anything. She didn't know what to say other than it was her fault but Elsa will deny it anyway. Funny how even in an alternate universe, Elsa still won't let her take the blame. Seeing how distress Anna was, Elsa decided to put her at ease which was weird for her because she never done that to anyone before but what the heck. "Your tears were warm" This made Anna look at Elsa with so much confusion on her face. "What?" Elsa mentally slap herself in the smile weakly at her before she continue "When I held you roughly with one hand, you began to cry and one of your tears fell onto my arm. I always thought tears were cold like me but yours were warm and I don't know how or I don't know why but I felt like I have this connection to you and I don't know but I felt at peace with you. You've change me in a way"
Anna didn't know what to say. She was speechless! She can't believe how much of an impact she had on Elsa's life from just being in her presence. Anna couldn't help but to shoot a warming smile at Elsa. Elsa did a half-smile in return but her face became more serious.
"Then your parents came in and saw me holding you. Things turn ugly pretty fast."
"What happened?" Anna pressed on. Elsa scratch the back of her head. "Well, let's just say your father pull out his sword, menacingly at me while your mother yell for the guards."
Anna quietly gasped. Elsa nodded.
"I didn't know what to do at that moment. I was so scared. I panicked!" Elsa then stop for a moment.
Anna felt terrible now. She can't believe her father's actions.
"Give me back my daughter, you cold heartless monster!"
That was enough to get Elsa back talking again. "I...I remember the words from your father. Those hurtful but well deserved words."
Anna began to get curious. "What were they?"
"He.." Elsa slowly trailed off but quickly got right back on track again. "He said.'Give me back my daughter, you cold heartless monster!'" Anna let out a horrified gasp as she cover her mouth. Kristoff and Sven couldn't help but frown at this as well but didn't say anything. They thought it was best for them to be quiet and let those two to talk it out.
Elsa continue back up saying "Then, without realizing it, I put my hand out towards your parents and I accidentally froze them! Their whole body froze with the look of the fear of huge unknown and it shook me to the core." Elsa stop herself to look at Anna.
Anna didn't say anything at this point and Elsa kinda expected that coming from her. She then continue on "When the guards busted in to the room, the King and Queen's frozen statue began to topple back and forth and...they shattered to a thousand pieces! The looks on those guards faces stay stuck in my head. The way their eyes widen and their jaws drop was enough to send horror through my veins! Suddenly, you began to cry during this whole commotion. The guards finally took notice of you and immediately began to draw their weapons at me. 'Drop the baby' They said strictly and I just stare at them. I looked at you than back at the guards. I slowly place you back in your crib.
'Step away Snow Queen!' I heard one of the guards said and suddenly, I heard a sword being drawn. I quickly froze all them where they stand. All that commotion made you started crying again! I freaked out and ice began to creep towards you but I quickly stop it before it touch you. I sighed in relief and when I did that tiny frost flurry came from my mouth. You stop crying then suddenly and I wonder why. I then notice that you were trying to grasp at the frost flurry. You were so in awe with it that it almost made me warm inside. No one had appreciate my gift as much as Anne did. Knowing I overstayed my welcome, I turned to leave but your little hand manage to grab mines. I looked back and saw you staring at me with those blue eyes that I almost got lost in. We stayed like that for the minute until I suddenly heard voices coming towards the room. Quickly, I took my hand away from you and you stared at me with such sad and disappointing eyes. And just like that, I vanished with the snow and ice surrounding me."
Awkward silence became to Elsa's new enemy so she decided to lighten the mood.
"And that is how I earn the legendary title, "The Queen Of Ice and Snow" has a nice ring to it if you asked me"
Anna couldn't believe it! She never felt so bad-no-terrible in her whole life. Here, she finally knew the truth about how Elsa became who she became. So what everyone said about Elsa wasn't really true. She could see that on the look of Kristoff's face. "Wow Elsa. I didn't know"
"Of course you didn't know." Elsa snap suddenly at her. "You were only a child! A child who didn't know that she is talking to the murderer of her parents and the reason that her Kingdom is facing difficult problems!"
"Elsa. I-"
WHACK!
Anna's eyes widen in shock due to Elsa's solid fist making contact on the side of her face! The contact was very harsh but Elsa didn't waver under it. She was use to pain and torture to her body.
Everyone and everything was silent until Elsa decided to break the silence.
"I'm..I'm such an idiot!" Elsa yelled out as she punch herself in the face. This time much harder! And after that, she just continue on doing it.
Every punch Elsa did to herself was enough to pull at Anna's heartstrings. Every time she went to punch herself, it was much harder than the last!
Anna couldn't take it anymore!
Without realizing what she was doing, Anna grab Elsa's fist before she hit herself again. Elsa didn't bother to face Anna because she already felt her eyes staring directly at her and she hated it. Anna continue to stare at Elsa a few more seconds as she notice Elsa wasn't going to say anything so she knew she had to say something to her but what? What do you exactly to say someone who told you their dramatizing past? Suddenly, Anna remember what Elsa said to her earlier.
"I only wish I got to hear it one more time"
That's when realization hit Anna and she smiled. She then looked and said "Hey Elsa, can I ask you something?"
Elsa look up at the Young Queen in bewilderment. What do she supposedly want to know now? And why was she smiling? This can't be good.
"What is it?" She asked in a most chill voice as possible. But no matter how chill Elsa was, nothing could prepare her for the words that will come from Anna's mouth.
"Do you wanna build a snowman?"
Elsa gasped when she heard those words. Those words that she long to hear for so long. So with a bright smile and a nod of her head, Elsa replies. "Of course. I wanna build a snowman"
Now it was Anna's turn to gasp. She literally felt her heart do twenty back flips when she heard Elsa's answer. That was the answer she always long to ever hear. Forgetting how Elsa is with contact from people, she instantly ran up to her and pull her into a huge embrace. Anna likely knew Elsa was going push her away but to Anna's surprise, Elsa slowly wrap her arms around her but softly. Anna couldn't help the tears from coming down her face.
Kristoff and Sven smile acknowledging at the two in this loving moment and because of loving moments like this, Kristoff couldn't help himself on joining in. Both he and Sven came over the two and Kristoff puts his arms over their shoulders "Aww! It's like you two are sisters or something"
Elsa shot him a death glare while Anna smiles sadly at him.
"Yeah. It's like we are" Anna said quietly for only her to hear. Kristoff just didn't know how right he was.
