That night...

"Anna..." Elsa groaned as she opened her eyes and looked around. "Anna?"

She looked around for where her sister was but found no sign of her. She held the ice light higher so she could illuminate more of the ground.

"Anna?" Elsa called out a again as she stood up and moved around. She looked up towards the sky which was completely pitch black before she proceeded into the woods to look for her sister.

"Anna!" Elsa shouted as she continued to look around. Where could Anna possibly be. She had never disappeared like this before, and if she did, she would have informed her before. She could see footsteps leading towards a valley...that definitely wasn't there before. She tried to use her powers to create an ice bridge, but nothing happened at all. Elsa looked at her hand fearfully as she tried again, but nothing happened again. Her powers weren't working.

"Elsa!" Elsa looked up at the sound of her name being called out from nearby. Elsa immediately started to run towards the source of the noise as fast as she could, trying to summon any form of her magic, hut it seemed to disobey her as nothing formed. As she ran into a clearing, she could see a faint light being emitted from a small torch. As she ran closer, the sight in front of her made her scream.

In the middle of the clearing was Anna, tied up on the ground, a pirate holding a rifle round up to her head. As Elsa looked closely at the pirate, she screamed upon seeing that it was actually Hans who was the pirate.

"You!" Elsa screamed in horror.

"Hello Elsa!" Hans sneered as he cocked the rifle and moved it closer to Anna's head.

"How...how did you get here?" Elsa asked in shock as she willed her powers to do something, anything at all, but nothing still happened.

"Well it was easy. Escape from the dignitaries ship...hijack something else and sail toward this island." Hans said. Elsa just gaped. How did Hans know they would be here...unless...he was working with the back sun. "Something wrong snow queen?"

Elsa winced at the term..

"What do you want?" Elsa asked.

"Well, revenge for one..." Hans said as he walked towards Elsa, who was completely defenseless without her powers. Before Elsa could comprehend what was going on, Hans had smacked her in the face with the butt of his rifle. Elsa collapsed to the ground as the pain set in. "It hurts doesn't it...the pain. That's what it felt like to be tortured all day and all night on that blasted ship."

Elsa slowly stood up as Hans walked back towards the tied up Anna and held the rifle to her head again.

"Please...don't." Elsa muttered as she watched Hans cackle before slamming the rifle against Anna's head, knocking her to the ground as well. Elsa screamed as she watched Hans kick Anna into he sides. Elsa charged at Hans but he quickly knocked her down to the ground.

"So weak willed..." Hans laughed as he picked Anna up from the hair and held the rifle to her head.

"Well done..." Two figures said as they appeared from the shadows. Elsa looked up and nearly screamed. In front of her were her mother and father.

"Mama? Papa?" Elsa asked in shock at the sight of her two sneering parents. "What?"

"Oh Elsa. Do you seriously think that I managed to find you all on your own. Do you seriously think that this was all just a coincidence. Of course not!" Agdar called maniacally as he made a small gesture to Hans.

"What are you talking about?" Elsa asked. Agdar pointed to Hans before saying, "kill her."

"NO!"

Bang!

Elsa screamed as she watched her sister fall to the ground, a bullet wound in her head as blood pooled on the ground. Tears fell down her cheeks as she watched her parents and Hans laugh at the dead body of her sister.

"How sad." Hans laughed as he kicked Anna's body to the side.

"You know Elsa, this could have all been avoided if you'd had just stayed away from your sister." Agdar stated.

"Why..." Elsa choked out as she looked at the figures she used to call her parents..

"Oh Elsa. You could never have been together with your sister...why do you think we separated you all these years. You were a threat to us...to her. We couldn't allow a monster like you to be around such a wonderful girl like Anna." Agdar said. "If was too...unruly.."

"You killed her..." Elsa sobbed.

"Yes. It was too late to save her from her curse...the curse of loving you..." Agdar stated. "It was too strong. We couldn't sway her from whatever curse you put on her."

"So...there was only one way to free her." Hans cackled as he pointed to the rifle in his hand and then at Anna's body. "It was the only way."

Elsa screamed in anguish as she charged at her parents and attempted to ram them. She. She didn't hit anything, she opened her eyes and gasped upon seeing that no one was around her. Everything around her was replaced with ice...the fjord.

She looked around and saw Anna standing frozen in the middle of the fjord. Elsa screamed and ran over to her sister and stared at her frozen form.

"Anna!" Elsa screamed as she tried to thaw her sister. She just screamed even harder when Anna frozen figure cracked and fell apart into pieces.

"Elsa..."

"No Anna!" Elsa screamed as she tried to pick up the pieces.

"See...see what you have done..." Hans laughed as he appeared out of nowhere. "You froze her heart...and now she's dead because of you."

"No Anna...please..." Elsa sobbed as she watched Hans approach with a rifle.

"Elsa!"

"See...you did this to her...monsters do this...MONSTER!" Hans screamed. "And monsters...have to die..."

Elsa watched as Hans approached with his rifle, loaded and armed, before holding it up to her head...

"Any last words...monster?" Hans asked.

"I'm so sorry Anna..."

"ELSA!"


"ELSA!" Anna screamed as she shook her screaming sister awake. Elsa's eyes snapped open as she looked at her sister who was definitely alive. Anna pulled her sister into a deep hug as she felt Elsa sob into her shoulder. "Shh...its alright. I'm here..."

Elsa took slight comfort in the fact that it was only a dream as she hugged her sister tightly.

"It was only a nightmare..." Anna said as she stroked her sister's back. Elsa opened her eyes slightly and looked at the sky and saw that it was barely dawn, the sun barely risen. She pulled away slowly and looked at her decidedly, not dead, sister. Anna stroked Elsa's hair as she laid her down on her shoulder.

"It was horrible..." Elsa sobbed. Anna tried desperately to hide the ice that was surrounding them as she tried to comfort her sister. "Hans was there...with a rifle... And you..."

"Oh..." Anna said sympathetically. She knew her sister sometimes had nightmares, but never before did they involve Hans holding a rifle.

"And he was holding...it at you..." Elsa said as Anna wiped a tear from her sister's face.

"Elsa...if you don't want to tell me...well...I know we said no more closed doors...but if it makes you feel bad..."

"No..." Elsa said. "Its alright. I'll feel better if you know..."

"Okay..." Anna said.

"And then mama and papa appeared..."

"So they helped you?" Anna asked.

"They told Hans to kill you..."

"Er..." Anna muttered. She had absolutely no idea how to react to that. She knew her sister had bad nightmares but this...this was definitely new... "I'm sorry...what?"

"Mama and papa said that I cursed you into loving me...and they said that they separated us because they thought you didn't deserve to be with a monster..."

"That better have just been your imagination!" Anna said angrily. "Otherwise, the minute I die and see them, I'll show them just what a monster I can be as well..."

"Anna. It was only a nightmare." Elsa said as she finally rubbed away the last tear and laid on her younger sibling's shoulder.

"I know...but that nightmare just made me hate mama and papa a bit." Anna said as she thought for a second. "And I'm already angry at them for separating us."

"Anna. They did it because they thought it was best for us...for you..."

"Best for me?" Anna asked angrily. "What about for you?!"

"Anna. Please don't blame mother and father for that. I was the one who chose to stay away. They said they would limit the contact...but not keep me away." Elsa said truthfully. "I chose to stay away...to protect you..."

"Yeah. But mama and papa didn't make it any better by not seeing you."

"They did see me..." Elsa said.

"Everyday?" Anna asked sternly.

"Well...no...but...".

"No buts Elsa. I couldn't be there...but neither were they...and they should have!" Anna said fiercely. "If I ever see them again..."

"Anna please...they're still our parents. They protected us..." Elsa said to which Anna calmed down.

"I know...its just that...they could have helped us all without the separating part. I still love them...its just...I'm also angry at them." Anna said as he settled down and allowed her sister to lay on her shoulder again. She felt Elsa wrap her arms around her abdomen as she, herself, put her arms around Elsa's torso. "Don't worry Elsa...I'll always be here for you now. Even of mama and papa aren't."

Anna smiled slightly when she felt Elsa snuggle up to her a little more.

"Thank you Anna..." Elsa mumbled as she fell tried to fall asleep, praying that she wouldn't have another nightmare like this.

Anna looked up at the sky and saw the faint glow of the rising sun. She then looked into he direction that they were supposed to be heading. Surely a few more hours of sleep wouldn't do any harm. Anna slowly closed her eyes as she could feel Elsa fall into a slumber next to her as well, her breathing slow and steady. Slowly, Anna also fell into a deep sleep, cuddling her sister as close as possible, praying that her sister wouldn't have anymore nightmares as horrific as the one she had just endured.


"What to do as king..." Tyron mumbled as he looked over the dozens of kneeling citizens in front of him.

"You'll never be our king as long as we live..." A random citizen shouted out.

"Bring him to me!" Tyron yelled as several black sun mercenaries pulled the guy up and brought him to tyron, kicking him down to the ground at the last second. "What were you saying?"

"You'll never be our king!" The citizen rasped. Tyron just laughed. "Elsa is our queen...not you!"

"A witch like her? She froze you all, yet you still defend her!" Tyron cackled.

"She's our queen. She's kind, gentle loving...we don't care if she has powers. She doesn't use them for anything bad. She uses them for the betterment of Arendelle!" The guy shouted.

"Wow. Loyalty to the ex-queen." Tyron said, slightly impressed. "Well my dear boy...we can't allow a person like you, spreading bullshit like that around. That's traitorous...and you know what the offense is for being a traitor?"

The citizen's eyes widened as a guard approached him with a sword.

"This...is what happens to those traitors who still support Elsa and Anna as their royals!" Tyron yelled out across the courtyard. Everyone watched as the mercenary lifted the sword above the guys head, and in one fail swoop, brought it down on the guys neck, slicing his head off in one swipe. The crowd screamed as the guys head rolled down onto the courtyard, Tyron laughing maniacally in the background.

"Dear citizens...your beloved queen and princess are never coming back! Deal with it! For now, this is the rule of king tyron. And any oppressors...will be dealt with accordingly, into he may brutal and violent means possible..."

"Heil Tyron!" All the mercenaries yelled at once.


Just a short chapter detailing Elsa having a nightmare...well...an unorthodox one at that.

I've seen some stories where anna and Elsa blame their parents for everything that happened, as wee as others where Agdar and idun are sadistically cruel. I decided to merge that with a Elsa's worst fear...and alas...one hell of a nightmare was born. Sorry if it wasn't longer...anyway...it may be another chapter or two before they reach that area of the forest. I'm thinking of any other little events that I can throw in to make the next travel chapter a little more interesting. Any suggestions?

And please calm down. I hope to end the hiatus of The Dark Falling by this weekend...hopefully. College, lack of ideas...and overall...lack of writing time had led me to only be able to update this story.

There nearly wasn't going to be an update for this story...i was so busy today due to independance day celebration. I barely finished this...and it is already midnight here...
