Both Elsa and Kristoff were shocked. Elsa wanted to say something, but nothing would come out.
"But…but if Anna does strike Elsa in the heart, it can be fixed, right?" Kristoff asked.
"Well…the only way to get rid of a burning heart is to get rid of the source. In other words, where it came from," Grand Pabbie said.
"The source is Anna…" Kristoff said, barely audible.
Elsa was still in a state of shock. If Anna were to strike her in the heart, she couldn't bear to have Anna killed just to save her own life.
"Thank you. Come on, let's go find Anna," Elsa said before walking towards the sled.
"Right. Thank you, Grand Pabbie," Kristoff said before following Elsa.
"You are welcome. Good luck to you," Grand Pabbie said.
Kristoff quickly harnessed Sven and jumped into the sled next to Elsa. He yanked the reins and all three of them took off.
The ride was silent for a while. Elsa looked straight ahead, a lot of thoughts running through her head.
"Elsa?" Kristoff asked, nudging her.
Elsa jumped a little, startled. She looked at the ice harvester.
"I'm sorry… It's just…Grand Pabbie's words are sticking to me," Elsa said.
"Hey…Anna would never hurt you, so we have nothing to worry about," Kristoff said.
"…Anna thought the same thing about me. Look what happened then," Elsa said.
"Elsa, when you froze Anna's heart, it was an accident," Kristoff said.
"Kristoff, if it were to happen, Anna would have to be killed just to save me! I can't let that happen! I know Anna, and she would willingly give up her life to save me! She's done it once before!" Elsa said.
"It won't happen, Elsa! Everything is gonna be fine," Kristoff said.
"How do you know that?" Elsa asked.
"I…I don't know…" Kristoff said.
Before Elsa could respond, she heard someone weeping. Kristoff heard it, too. As the sled kept going, they saw their fireball friend walking alone. Sven stopped when he saw him.
"Leif?" Elsa asked.
Leif looked up and saw the trio.
"Oh, hi…" he said.
"We thought you were with Anna…" Elsa said.
"Nope… Anna doesn't care about me," Leif said.
"Oh, I'm sure that's not true, little guy. Anna made you," Elsa said.
"She wishes that she had never gotten fire powers. She said everything was perfect before they came along. She made me with her powers, so I'm not important to her," Leif said.
"Aww, don't take Anna's words personally, Leif. She needs to learn to accept her new powers and see the beauty in them. Please don't be upset," Elsa said.
Leif sniffled and nodded.
"Okay…thank you," Leif said, smiling.
"Hey, Leif, do you think you could help us find Anna?" Kristoff asked.
"Sure! Let's go!" Leif said before running off.
"Hey, slow down, fireball!" Kristoff said, yanking Sven's reins.
Anna continued her walk, feeling completely alone. She felt heat in her hands and looked at them, seeing how red and orange they were. She growled in frustration.
"Can't you just give it a rest?!" she said.
She felt like her powers had a mind of their own. They decided to be active whenever they pleased, and it was actually quite annoying.
The strawberry blonde had finally made her way out of the forest and found herself staring at the castle. She stood only a few feet from the fjord.
"Wait, what? I'm back to where I started? How did this even happen?!" she asked herself, baffled
She sighed, ready to fall over from all of the walking she did. She sat down in the grass and rested her feet. After sitting on her bottom for a while, she laid down and watched the waters of the fjord gently move. Her eyes began to droop from the peaceful sounds and scenery.
Right before she drifted into sleep, she heard the water move more aggressively. She opened her eyes and sat up to see what was going on.
She saw a bunch of ships make their way to the docks.
"Wait…those aren't Arendelle's ships…" Anna said.
After the ships came to a halt, a bunch of soldiers stepped off and made their way into the kingdom. Anna looked at the flags on the boats to see where they came from. She gasped in horror.
The Southern Isles?! And Weaseltown?! Oh, no!
I hope you liked it. I'm sorry it's shorter than usual and that I haven't updated for a few days. I've been on a bit of a block for this story and I've also been working on my other story A Sister's Love, too.
Special thanks to ElsaAnna5177 for the Southern Isles/Weselton invasion idea!
