"I dreamed that love would never die…
But there are dreams that cannot be,
And there are storms we cannot weather!"
- I Dreamed a Dream, Les Miserables
Author's Note: The first part of this chapter is a dream. (Haha, I dreamed a dream. Pun unintended)
leena1445: Here's MOAREEEE!
"Elsa!"
Elsa Two looked around. She was surrounded by white nothingness for miles. "Who's there?" She called.
"It's me, Anna."
Elsa turned to see Anna standing there, looking sad. "Elsa?" She asked. "What have you done?"
"What do you mean?" Elsa responded. "I've done a lot."
"I mean the curse," Anna sighed. "Why would you do that? Letting go of all of the love that exists in your life?"
"Without you, Anna, I…I don't have any love." Elsa answered, not looking Anna in the eyes.
"Just because I'm gone doesn't mean that you have to deprive yourself of any joy or love," Anna said. "You've deprived yourself of joy and love long enough."
"Monsters don't love!" A voice shouted from the other end of the white nothingness.
Elsa turned around to see Elsa One.
"Don't you remember what I said?" She asked, sounding furious. "A monster is all we'll ever be!"
"No, Elsa! Don't listen to her!" Anna cried.
Elsa Two looked around desperately, trying to decide who to trust.
"You're the Ice Queen!" Elsa One continued. "You are a cold blooded sorceress!"
"You're my sister!" Anna countered. "You're the warmest person I've ever met!"
"Your parents hated you!" Elsa One taunted. "They feared you! And, they had good reasons to fear you!'
"Mama and Papa loved you!" Anna yelled.
"They were ashamed that they raised you to be what you are!" Elsa One added.
Anna ran over and grabbed Elsa Two's arm, trying to drag her away from Elsa One. "She doesn't know anything!" Anna told her. "Mama and Papa loved you, I love you, and you love me!"
"And everyone you love ends up getting hurt!" Elsa One injected. "Anna is proof of that! The only way to stop you from hurting people is to stop loving!"
Elsa One created a blue vortex, with cold winds that pulled Elsa Two toward it.
"No! Elsa, don't go!" Anna sobbed, still holding on to her.
"It's too late," Elsa One said. "She's already cast the curse."
Elsa Two was inches away from the vortex. "I'm sorry that I disappointed you again, Anna."
"You've never disappointed me," Anna whispered. "Just, please, keep this somewhere buried in the back of your mind: I love you."
In that moment, Anna couldn't hold on any longer and Elsa Two was sucked into the vortex.
Elsa Two awoke to warmth. She didn't like it. She blinked repeatedly, trying to clear her blurred vision. When it came into view, she saw that she was in a bed, draped in a woollen blanket.
"You're up," A girl's voice said. "Thank goodness! I thought you were dead!"
A girl who looked about eleven years old walked into the room. She had long brown hair and was wearing a concerned yet relieved look on her face.
"Where am I?" Elsa asked. "Who are you? Why am I here?"
"Well, I was getting firewood, and I saw this flash of bright light in the sky," The girl explained. "So, I ran over to see what was going on. I saw you onto the ground, and you looked like you were in pain. I asked if you were okay, and you just whispered, 'I'm sorry, Anna' and then, you blacked out. So, I took you back to my home. Oh, and I'm Ingrid."
Elsa gave Ingrid a skeptical look. "Okay,then." She said, raising her eyebrow.
"Are you okay?" Ingrid questioned, sitting down on the bed next to Elsa. "Do you remember what happened? Is there anything I can get you? What's your name?"
"I don't know, no, no, and I'm, um…" Elsa's mind struck a blank. What was her name?
"Do you remember anything?" Ingrid asked worriedly.
Elsa closed her eyes. "Be quiet!" She demanded. "I'm thinking."
Ingrid looked taken aback. "Okay," She muttered.
Elsa went through her memories. She could remember ice the most. Lots of ice. She remembered closed doors. She remembered shooting ice at people. She struggled to remember her family. She could just barely picture a moustached man, a woman with a brunette bun, and a girl with two strawberry blonde braids. But, she could only remember their faces.
"Um…I'm the Snow Queen." Elsa said. "That's right; that's what I'm called."
Ingrid's eyebrows raised. "Why are you called the Snow Queen?"
"I can do this." Elsa answered. With a flourish of her hand, snowflakes flew up and twirled around in circles.
"Woah!" Ingrid exclaimed. "Y-you're just like Queen Elsa! Of course, you're probably not just like her. I mean, she looks way different and she's evil and stuff. Wait, are you evil?"
"I don't know." Elsa responded. "But…I think my real name is Elsa."
Ingrid was silent for a while. "Well, maybe it's just a coincidence." She finally said, thinking out loud. "It must be. Yes. Well, um, how about you get some rest and I'll make some soup for you?"
"I don't want soup," Elsa said simply. "It's too warm."
"Oh…okay, how about iced tea, then?" Ingrid offered.
Elsa nodded and Ingrid left the room.
Elsa looked out of the window. It was snowing. I assume that has something to do with me. She thought.
Then, something came back to her.
"Arendelle's in deep, deep, deep, deep snow!"
Elsa got out of her bed and walked over to Ingrid, who was fixing Elsa iced tea in the kitchen. "Ingrid!"
Ingrid jumped and turned around. "Elsa!" She exclaimed. "What are you doing up?! You just regained conciousness about five minutes ago!"
Elsa, while steadying herself on a coffee table (Elsa wasn't going to admit it, but Ingrid had a point about not getting out of bed. Elsa was extremely dizzy from getting up so soon.), told the young girl, "I remembered something, and you seemed like you would want to know."
Ingrid's eyes brightened. "Tell me!"
"I have no idea why you're so eager to know about my memories, but alright," Elsa began. "I was being coronated Queen, and, something I forgot about happened and I ended up freezing all of the kingdom. I ran away to the mountains, and, um, this girl who I think is my sister came and told me I froze Arendelle. I froze her heart. A little bit later, I was transported here somehow, and I met Queen Elsa. Your Queen Elsa, not me. I'm from a different universe. That's all I remember."
"Oh…" Ingrid trailed off, dumbfounded. She shook herself back to reality and said, "Um, Elsa, I really think that you need to get some rest. Perhaps, you'll…remember it better afterward."
"You don't believe me." Elsa stated. She didn't sound angry; she couldn't be angry.
"No, no, not- that's not nessacarily it, but, you should really get rest." Ingrid tried, although Elsa was right.
She's completely delusional! Ingrid thought. But, then again, ice magic is possible…
Elsa obeyed and walked back to her room.
Elsa couldn't remember anything about the fear she felt all her life. She couldn't remember the anger she felt when Anna insisted on marrying Hans. She couldn't remember the how desperately she wanted to protect Anna. She couldn't remember the joy she felt when she finally let her powers go. She couldn't remember how terrified she was when she saw Anna clutching her heart in pain as she fell to the floor of the ice palace. She couldn't remember Anna's love.
And as long as her soul was frozen, she wouldn't remember any of those feelings.
Author's Note: Who do you want to hear about in the next chapter? Elsa One and Anna, or Uncloaked Anna, Kristoff, and Hans? Or, more Elsa Two?
