Sunday
October 30th, 1842
Elsa wakes up when she starts to feel the ocean splashing her exposed feet. She sits up to see Hans was nowhere near her. She rubs her eyes and stretches.
"Good morning." Says Hans. Elsa turns around to see Hans sitting in front of the cave. He had created a fire and surrounded it with dark rocks.
"How— how long have you been awake??" asks Elsa.
"I think a better question you should be asking is how long have you been been sleeping." Says Hans.
"How long have I been sleeping!?" Says Elsa as she stands up.
"12 hours." Says Hans.
"12 hours!? Why didn't you wake me up!" Says Elsa as she walks toward the fire.
"I did. But you moaned louder everytime I tried shaking you." Says Hans with a half smile.
"Oh. Sorry I think I haven't recovered from the shipwreck yet .." Says Elsa.
"Not to worry, you'll feel better once you have breakfast." Says Hans as he points to the eggs he was cooking on top of a rock.
"Where did you find the eggs?" Says Elsa.
"Bird nest." Says Hans.
"Oh God .. that's depressing." Says Elsa as she sits down in front of the fire.
"So, how long do you think we'll be in this island." Says Hans as he puts two eggs in a leaf of paper and hands it to Elsa.
"I don't know .. but I don't feel like sitting and waiting." Says Elsa as she takes the leaf.
"Sometimes that's the best thing to do." Says Hans.
"Really? Is that so?" Says Elsa challenging his answer.
"I think so. We have plenty of food we can search for if we try hard enough and we can create a distress signal of some sort." Says Hans as he begins to eat his eggs.
"Are you some kind of expert all of a sudden?" Says Elsa as she takes a bite of the eggs.
"No, but I learned a lot in the navy." Says Hans.
"You were in the navy .. yeah I find that very hard to believe." Says Elsa.
"Suit yourself." Says Hans. They continue to eat their eggs until they were finally all finished. Hans gets up and begins to put his boots on.
"Where you going?" Says Elsa.
"We should probably go find more food before it gets dark." Says Hans.
"What?? No we have to look for the others." Says Elsa as she starts to put her icy blue gown on and her boots.
Hans gives out a stressful sigh "Look Elsa .. it's been a day and half .. maybe it's time consider Anna may be—"
"No. No I will NEVER consider that." Interrupts Elsa as she snaps at Hans.
"Look all I'm saying is that if you want to survive your best chance is staying here until a ship passes by." Says Hans.
"Typical of you! Only caring about yourself!" Says Elsa.
"It's just called being smart! With all due respect your the Queen so you should probably start acting like one!" Says Hans.
"Excuse me!? I don't know what you think being King or Queen means but to me it means I put my people first ESPECIALLY my sister. Of course you can't understand that can you!" Says Elsa.
"Look I know you hate me still for everything I did but I'm not speaking as the bad guy. I'm just being honest with you. If we want to survive this is what we need to do." Says Hans.
"I'd rather die knowing I tried everything I could to find my sister than live with regret knowing I didn't!" Says Elsa.
Hans rolls his eyes and walks away. "Ugh forget it!"
"Where are you going!?" Shouts Elsa.
"To find food, or in other words being smart!" Says Hans with attitude.
"UGHHHHH!!! Why is it that out of all people I'm stuck in an island with it's you!" Shouts Elsa in frustration.
"Trust me I've been asking myself the same thing." Says Hans as he continues to walk away. Elsa wanted to throw another snowball at him but instead she wasted no time and immediately began to search around the beach. She walked for many miles remaining as hopeful as she could do she could find Anna.
Kristoffs eyes slowly begin to open as he sees a long and wet tongue licking his face. Sven was trying to wake up his good friend. Kristoff slowly gets up and grunts as he runs the back of his head.
"Oh man ... what happened to me .." He then turns around to see Sven. He realizes it was thanks to Sven that he was able to make it to this island. Kristoff smiles and gives Sven a hug. He then slowly stands up confused looking around the the green mountain.
"Anna??" He calles for his love hoping she'd be near by.
"Anna!" But as much as he tried he got no answer.
"I don't know where we are Sven but we have to find Anna!" yells Kristoff to his friend as he starts to run down to the beach when suddenly a loud honk is heard. Kristoff and Sven immediately stop running. Sven starts to smell the air with his nose. He begins to run high up the mountain.
"Wait Sven! Where are you going!" Yells Kristoff as Sven starts to run away.
Kristoff begins to chase Sven as fast as he could. "Sven! Wait up!" They run past big trees and green land everywhere. Suddenly Sven runs down a a big hill leading down to a hidden grass area. Kristoff didn't realize the hill would be so deep so he ends up tripping and rolling down the hill. He finally arrives to the hidden grass area as he goes face first to a smelly reindeer poop. Kristoff slowly raises his head up covered with reindeer poop all over his face.
"Ughhh ... Sven did you really have to leave your poop right there .." complains Kristoff as he walks over to a nearby pond and starts washing his face. He realized Sven wasn't answering.
"Sven?" Kristoff realized Sven wasn't answering at all. After washing his face and finally able to see, Kristoff gets up and turns around
"Sven buddy, why were you runn-" Suddenly Kristoff stops talking. He couldn't believe what he was seeing, and neither could Sven. There in front of them were dozens of reindeers. Some of them begin to make the loud honk noise. Both Kristoff and Sven stood there speechless and with their mouth wide open.
"Oh wow .." Says Kristoff. He walks up to Sven and says to him. "I think we found your family buddy."
Just on the other side Anna wakes up. She had fallen asleep looking at the stars. She sits up with concern on her face as she looked at the ocean in front of her, scared that she could be alone and stuck on this island forever.
Suddenly she notices something pull up to the beach. She stands up and looks at the item. It's a satchel Anna runs down the small grass hill down to the beach. She kneels down and looks at the satchel.
"What a minute .. this is Hans .." she picks up the satchel and starts to clean it off with her hands. She sits the shoulder bag at a rock and starts to open the bag. She found food that was all wet. She throws it on the ground. As she keeps looking she feels something strange inside the bag. "What is this .." she pulls out a book. Shakespeare's Sonnets. She stares at the book in confusion. She opens the book to find inside a letter from Hans mother. She opens the letter and begins to read.
"Hans, my dear boy. If you read this letter it will be because your father has already found out that your brother and I freed you. My son listen very closely. Wherever you are at this moment, you must find Queen Elsa and give show her this letter. Inside the satchel is another book. Inside contains all the secrets and spells from the trolls. It is in their language and inside contains also a map.
This book was given by the trolls to your father in hopes to take over Arandelle. The language can not be interpreted but only by trolls for it is in their language. It is said to believe that King Agnarr and Queen Iduna are alive. That their sudden disappear wasn't a coincidence.
You're father had refused to tell Queen Elsa and Princess Anna because he is hungry for power. I'm sure if you explain this to Queen Elsa and give her this book she will forgive your trespasses and let you stay in Arandelle. Please my son be careful. If one person finds out you have this book the whole world will come after you. And when your father finds out I took the book he will go after Arandelle. Be careful. I love you my son."
Sincerely,
Your mother.
Anna hands begin to shake and the book and letter fall to the ground. She almost loses her balance as she catches herself with the boulder next to her. She starts to feel sick, she was in absolute shock that she just read that her parents could be alive. She pulls out the book of the spells she was referring to and inside she found a map.
"I have to find Elsa." She says to herself. She puts the shoulder bag on herself and the book and letter inside. She runs to pick out more vegetables and roots as she packs them in the shoulder bag to take. She starts to run toward the mountains behind her in hopes to find Elsa.
Elsa had walked for many hours around in circles but she ended up finding herself at the same spot again and again. Night time came and she hadn't seen Hans since they're little dispute. As she was walking back to the cave she suddenly gets an idea. What if they're still in the ocean? She stares at ocean in front of her as it roared strong waves before her. She concentrates on the waves until she turns around and takes her gown off and boots.
She positions herself to run as she presses her feet in the pebbles and immediately begins to run to the ocean. She ran across the ocean without falling by creating snowflakes with her feet. As she continued to run she was slammed with a wave. She continued this many times being knocked down by the waves again and again.
She runs one last time and dives through the wave that was about to hit her. She ends up grabbing a big boulder and climbs on top only to slip and catch herself by creating a slide made of ice. She runs forward as a big wave approaches her. She sticks her hands out to freeze the wave as she runs upwards the frozen wave until it breaks apart. She screams as she comes down with the big wave crushing her.
She begins to black out again like she did in the shipwreck until she is taken back to the beach. She crawls to the sandy beach slowly as she starts to spit out water and catch her breath. Suddenly she feels someone approaching her and put his arms around her. She looks up to see a beard in front of her eyes. It was Hans. He kneels next to her and scoops her up like a father carrying his child.
"No, no put me down I have to go back!" Says Elsa as she start to kick.
"Shhh. It's okay Elsa, you need to rest and eat." Says Hans.
"I can't I have to keep looking for her!" Yells elsa and she escapes Hans arms and falls to the sand. Hans gently kneels down next to her as her head hung low in shame.
"They're not there Elsa .. but you can try again tomorrow when there's more light." Says Hans. Elsa slowly raises her head up to meet his bright green eyes.
"Fine." She says with a sigh. Hans helps her up and they both walk back to their original spot as last night. Hans had already set fruit on top of his coat in the same exact spot they were in last night.
"I apologize but this was all I could find." Says Hans as he sits down.
"It's okay, it'll help us." Says Elsa and she sits down next to him. They ate their dinner in silence until Elsa decided to break the awkward tension.
"Are you sore at all from the shipwreck?" Says Elsa.
"Kind of, Ive gotten used to pain. My neck however has a huge knot." Says Hans as he massages his neck.
"I can take it out for you." Says Elsa.
"What?? No I don't wouldn't want to—" Says Hans.
"Honestly it's fine. You stayed up with me the night of the shipwreck, so I can massage something as simple as a knot." Interrupts Elsa.
Elsa stood up and walked over to Hans and sat criss crossed behind his back. She began to feel around his neck and upper back trying to find the knots.
"You don't have a knot you save several knots." Says Elsa as she began to massage him.
"Really? Huh. Must've been there since before the shipwreck then." Says Hans. As Elsa continued to massage his neck and back he was surprised by how warm and soft her hands were. He didn't expect that from a ice Queen.
"I'm surprised, I didn't know your hands were so warm." Says Hans.
Elsa scoffs, "I get that so much. Just because I have ice powers doesn't mean my body temperature and body itself isn't normal." Says Elsa. She begins to use her elbow when she came across a giant knot.
"Ufff... oww." Says Hans.
"Sorry but you need to stay still. Here lay on your stomach." Says Elsa.
"You sure??" Says Hans as he turns around to look at her.
"Just do what I say!" Says Elsa. Hans lays on his stomach and Elsa gets on top of his muscular back as she massages his whole back and neck.
"I need to walk on your back." Says Elsa as she begins to stand up on her feet. She places her feet on his back and begins to massage as she puts her whole body weight to his back.
"You okay?" Asks Elsa.
"I'm good my ribs are crushing but it's fine." Says Hans sarcastically.
"I'm not heavy! I—" Says Elsa.
"I'm kidding. You're doing fine." Says Hans as Elsa rolls her eyes. She continues to massage him. She could feel the knots slowly breaking apart.
"Do you moisturize your skin or something cause it's really soft." Says Hans.
"You really need to shut up. That is the most awkward thing you can say at this moment." Threatens Elsa as she leans over to his ear.
"Sorry." Says Hans. After several minutes Elsa jumped off his back so Hans could sit up.
"Better?" Asks Elsa.
"Actually yes .. thank you, who taught you that?" Says Hans.
"Anna. I'm always stressed out with all the responsibilities of being Queen but she knows exactly what to do." Says Elsa as she looks away at the ocean. Hans started to realize how much Anna meant to Elsa, no wonder she wants to find her sister.
"Anna's a good girl .." Says Hans.
"She is. She's the best of all of us." Says Elsa as she continues to stare at the ocean. Hans could tell by her eyes that she really missed her.
"Well I'm going to sleep .." Says Elsa as she lays down and turns her back to Hans. Hans stares at Elsa as her back was towards him with her platinum blond braid covering her shoulder.
Elsa fell fast asleep and he could tell by her breathing. He grabs his coat that was given to his mother and covers her body to make sure she wasn't cold. Little did he know that she loved the cold.
Monday
October 31st, 1842
Elsa's eyes slowly begin to open. She and Hans had fallen asleep on the beach next to the seashore. She turns to her right to see Hans dead asleep with his back towards her. She had Hans coat on her again. Hans had covered her with his coat fearing she would be cold. Elsa smiles at herself knowing very well she doesn't mind the cold. But knew he was just trying to be considerate. She looks out to the ocean as she still had Anna on her mind. She just knew deep down inside that she had to at least try to find Anna. She looks behind her to see the mountains. She knew where she needed to go. She gets up and begins to walk towards the cave. She put on her gown and her boots on again. Inside the cave was a puddle of water in the whole of a rock that had filled up with all the rain. She begins to splash water on her face and washes her hair as she gets herself ready to leave.
Hans starts to wake up as he stretches and yawns. He realizes Elsa wasn't next to him. The only thing there was his coat. He stands up and starts to look around to see where she went. He turns around to see her footprints on the black sand leading to the cave. He stands and sees her inside the cave washing her face and hair as she finishes braiding her hair like she normally does it. He realized she was getting ready to leave. He walks towards her.
"Umm hi." Says Hans.
"Good morning." Responds Elsa as she finishes braiding her hair.
"Are you umm .. going on a hike or something .." Says Hans.
"I'm going to go find Anna." Says Elsa with confidence.
"Okay .. but where??" Says Hans.
"To the mountains." Says Elsa.
"Wait what?? The mountains?? How are you so sure she's there??" Says Hans:
"There's only one way to find out." Says Elsa as she gets up and begins to walk away.
"Elsa.." says Hans to her trying not to bring her down.
"What!? What are you going to say to me .. that I shouldn't go look for my sister??" Says Elsa as she turns around to Hans.
"That's not what I'm saying Elsa, but don't you think Anna would have been here by now." Says Hans.
"I don't know Hans! I don't know if she's still alive but I am not going to sit here and think about that when I could be out there searching for her." Elsa starts to walk away.
Hans runs after her and grabs her by the arm. "Elsa hold on are you crazy! Look where we are! We're in the middle of nowhere. We have no food, no water and if you go you'll die searching for her!" Says Hans. Elsa quickly takes her arm out of Hans hands. "Elsa please .."
"I'm going Hans! And your not stopping me!" Says Elsa as she begins to walk to the mountains. Hans runs to her blocking her off.
"Elsa think about this! This is a crazy idea! It's a big mess!" Says Hans.
"Maybe I am a mess. Maybe I'm crazy. Maybe I'm out of my mind. But God help me, I will keep searching until the day I die, if I think there's a chance Anna is still out there!" Yells Elsa to Hans.
They both stare at each other for a few seconds. Hans could see the determination in her eyes. Elsa continues to walk toward the mountains leaving Hans by himself. Hans closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. "Hold on." Says Hans to Elsa. Elsa turns around and stares at Hans.
"I'll go with you." Says Hans. He runs back to the cave, washes his face and hair, grabs his coat and puts his boots on and runs back to Elsa. They both stare at each other then elsa nods her head at him as they both hike up the mountain.
Olaf was up early that morning looking for Elsa. He had been traveling up the mountain trying to find her. Miraculously his could hadn't given out yet but the cloud was slowly starting to fade. He was slowly starting to melt and even though the cold breeze weather was helping a little he still needed a brand new cloud to be created by Elsa. He was starting to give up as he sits down and begins to talk to himself.
"Well I guess this is it .. so long world .. goodbye Elsa .. goodbye Anna .. goodbye Kristoff .. goodbye Sven .." he begins to tear up when suddenly he hears someone yelling and footsteps on the other side.
"Anna!?" Yells Elsa as she pushes a branch that was in her way but it swings back to hit Hans on his crotch.
"UFFF! uhh jeez ... Says Hans as he separates his legs looking at the floor, holding his stomach in pain grunting.
"Oh! Oh I am so sorry!" Says Elsa embarrassed as she pats Hans back.
"Uhhhhh ... wow that hurt .." Says Hans as he continues to look at the floor trying to breathe.
Olaf gasps as he realizes it's Elsa. He runs down the hill melting as he begins to shout for Elsa.
"Elsa!!! Elsa I found you!" Says a happy Olaf. Suddenly Elsa stands up from patting Hans back and starts to look around.
"Hey do you hear that??" Says Elsa to Hans.
"Hear what?" Says Hans as he slowly tries to get up. Suddenly both of them see Olaf running down the hill with a happy face calling for Elsa. Elsa's eyes get big with surprise as she recognizes who it is.
"Olaf??" Suddenly Olaf's stops running as he melts all the way and turns to a puddle of water. Elsa gasps and she runs down the hill to where the puddle of water was with only a carrot on top. "Oh no ..." Says Elsa. She sticks out her hand and with her powers brings Olaf back to life with a brand new cloud on top of his head. Olaf runs up to hug Elsa with happiness. Elsa hugs Olaf back and laughs.
"Olaf! Where did you come from??" Says Elsa. Olaf begins to jump up and down with excitement.
"I was looking everywhere for you! The storm and the boat threw me to this black sandy beach and then I took a nap and went to look for you because my cloud was fading away and then I found you and—" suddenly Olaf stops rambling and he gasps in fear. He runs behind Elsa and hides, he saw Hans was standing beside Elsa.
"Olaf. It's okay. Hans isn't going to hurt you. Him and I landed on the beach together that night and he carried me to a cave and helped me. Don't worry he isn't going to hurt anyone." Says Elsa.
Olaf slowly walks away behind Elsa like a shy little child. Hans looks at Olaf then at Elsa. Elsa with a smile nods her head at Hans saying it was okay for him to talk to Olaf. Hans looks back down at Olaf and kneels in front of him.
"Hey there .." Olaf runs back to Elsa hiding behind her. "I know we didn't get off to a great start but I just wanted to say I'm sorry." Says Hans.
Hans pick up Olaf's carrot nose and wipes the dirt off with his hands and reaches out to give it to Olaf. Olaf stick his head out and walks away from behind Elsa and slowly approaches Hans. He grabs his nose and puts it back on himself. Hans gives a half smile to Olaf and then stands up. Elsa gives Hans a smile as she turns her attention back to Olaf.
"Wait. Olaf if you made it to the island then .." she turns to Hans and Hans stares at Elsa.
"It's possible." Says Hans to Elsa.
"Olaf, have you seen Anna? Or Kristoff??" Asks Elsa.
"No I haven't .. you two are the only ones I've found so far." Says Olaf to Elsa. Elsa's worried face returns. "Well we have to keep looking." Says Elsa. She looks up at Hans as he nods his head in agreeance.
Anna decides to take a break. She had been walking nonstop and was tired. She decides to sit down in a rock. The letter she had read had really shocked her and she kept on remembering the words she read over and over again. She reaches inside the satchel and starts to eat while also opening the mystery book. She flips through the pages to find ancient Norwich writing. But the rest were full of writings of trolls language. As she kept flipping though the pages until she came across a sentence in ancient Norwich that she was able to understand.
"Beware the frozen heart."
She starts to ponder those words. She begins to flip through the pages when suddenly the sees a picture of a tree. A family tree of connections all over Europe all over the kingdoms. The page next to that read many families name. She pauses as she find her own families name.
Anna pauses. She sees all of her Norwegian ancestors all the way to the Vikings. She find her father and mothers name. And finds Elsa's name and Hera too. She closes the book. Starts to ponder. Anna too knew about her ancestors. When her parents closed the gates and she was left alone with no sister she studied many of her ancestors. What she didn't understand however was why this mysterious book of trolls would have their names. She gets up and begins to walk towards a volcanic mountain.
Sven was happy as he starts to immediately bond with all the other reindeers. Kristoff sees all of them eating grass and carrots found underground. He pulls some out and begins to eat as well.
"Wow. I can't believe it. A bunch of Sven's everywhere." Says Kristoff. He starts to worry for Anna and then gets an idea, he goes to Sven and says
"Sven! Do you think you can tell your family if they can help us out!" Sven shakes his head and begins to communicate with them. Suddenly all of them begin to honk at the same time very loudly. So loud that Elsa, Hans and Olaf who are on the other side stop walking.
"Did you hear that??" Says Elsa?? The loud honking continues as all of them start to stare to find out where that is coming from.
Anna walking to the volcanic mountain also starts to hear the noise. She starts to look around wondering where that noise was coming from. Kristoff was hoping at least one of them would yell back. He gives up realizing no one was answering back. He sits down disappointed. Sven was sad to see Kristoff so upset walks to comfort him.
"Where could she be Sven .." suddenly on of the reindeers begins to communicate with Sven. Then Sven gets excited and stands Kristoff up on his feet. "Whoa! What's going on??" Suddenly Kristoff realizes all the reindeers were all lined up.
"You guys are gonna help us find Anna aren't you??" All of the reindeer nod their heads yes. Hans smiles, he gets on top of Sven and says "Okay then, let's go find Anna." Suddenly all the reindeer start to march behind Sven up the mountain to find Anna.
Elsa, Hans and Olaf continued their journey through the mountain as they called out for Anna or Kristoffs name.
"Maybe they're back at the beach." Says Hans.
"No, they would have been there before us .." Says Elsa.
"Hey I'm uh— I'm sorry about making you feel bad." Says Hans.
"What do you mean??" Says Elsa as she turns around.
"I haven't been helping you search for Anna and haven't been supportive of her being alive. I'm just not really used to the idea of caring for siblings." Says Hans.
"Oh— well .. it's okay." Says Elsa. They both stare at each other not knowing what to say.
"Hey guys look!" Hans and Elsa stopnstaring at each other and then to see a small little village of houses. With farms all around them. They start to see men, women and children. They were confused. They could have sworn that they were the only ones in the island. Suddenly all the villagers notice Elsa, Hans and Olaf. They all whisper to each other speaking in their own language.
"I think they're speaking Icelandic .." whispers Hans to Elsa.
Elsa leads the way with Hans and Olaf behind them. The language of Arandelle and the Southern Isles were practically the same except with different accents and a few different words and phrases. But Icelandic was different. Elsa approaches them and tries to speak as simple and clear as she can.
"Hello, I am Queen Elsa of Arandelle." Suddenly the villagers start to speak within themselves surprised. Elsa realized that they understood what she said.
"Komdu með hátign okkar." One of the villagers says to Elsa as he signals up the road that lead over the hill. Elsa didn't understand what he said and then Hans leans over to her and says "I think he said follow us your majesty." Elsa turns to Hans surprised.
"Wait you know Icelandic??" She says as her, Hans and Olaf follow the villager.
"No I don't. I just learned a few basic sayings from my brother Lars. He knows every single language in the world because he loves that. Being in royalty you choose to learn at least one new language and mine wasn't Icelandic unfortunately." Hans explains to Elsa.
Elsa laughs at Hans and says "And let me guess, you learned German instead?"
"How did you know?? Asks Hans with his eyebrows pressed together.
"I feel like every royal kid always chooses to learn German. I was one of them." Says Elsa as they both begin to laugh.
As they walked up the hill and they were astonished to see what was on the other side. They saw a whole kingdom in front of their eyes. "Wait .. I thought this was an island!" Says Olaf to Elsa.
Elsa still shocked says to Olaf "This isn't an island ..." She turn around to see Hans also in shock. They both stare at each other realizing where they were.
"This is Iceland." Says Elsa.
