Elsa's Answer Was Do It
Chapter 14
It had been weeks since Hans and Anna left Elsa's ice castle. They hadn't seen Kristoff too, he was possibly in the mountains; all Anna and Hans only known that they were in charge of Arendelle at the long moment. It was technically winter now, being it snowing all day long.
"Do you really think Elsa will show up soon?" Anna asked Hans for the thousandth time. Anna sighed grabbing her hair and pulling it from stress.
Hans stopped her from pulling for long and gave a comforting smile, "I'm sure she'll show up very soon." Anna sighed once more and walked off to their room and jumped onto the bed. Hans never followed her anymore; he knew that she would start asking the same questions if he did follow her.
Anna got frustrated with Elsa never showing up anymore but most of all she missed her sister. She was tired of only having Hans around, she needed someone to be pushy around her sometimes. Anna let her thoughts wonder about how Elsa was doing in her condition of being far away and what Kristoff might be doing at this exact moment, she found herself making stories in her mind about what they were doing every time she was on her bed.
Kristoff was going into the mountains more and more, always with Sven though. He wondered how Arendelle was, with Anna and Hans ruling it about now. He never made a big appearance there; he didn't want to run into Anna or Hans.
His thoughts would also ponder about Elsa, he considered going back up but Elsa would want him to leave because she didn't want to hurt him; she wouldn't hurt him, he knew it. Kristoff would get frustrated and wait for distractions to come about but he wasn't in Arendelle where there were many distractions.
Sven would try to help him sometimes and stop in his tracks or go around in circles until he got dizzy but Kristoff would always be able to think when he was dizzy. Once, Sven bonked into a tree to get Kristoff out of his mind, it was as though Sven was a human and came up with clever ideas because Kristoff did get out of his mind for once then. Eventually he would be back into his thoughts, which were treacherous now.
Elsa paced around her castle every day, she always thought, she wondered how Kristoff, Anna, and Olaf were, Anna hadn't discovered Olaf but she might one day. The snow queen wondered how her reaction would be. Elsa created snowmen and talked to them but then they would end up blabbering on about something and Elsa would get bored; leading to her thoughts. It was as though all of them couldn't stop thinking about each other.
Elsa couldn't help but think about Anna and how she will be, how would Hans be? Would he kill her or just leave her for her to be his sidekick? Would he reveal his true self to her? Elsa finally got frustrated and spikes started popping out of the ice walls.
Elsa would sigh in frustration again and again telling her to conceal it and to not feel. She repeated it to herself days after days, weeks after weeks, minutes after minutes. She would end up screaming at herself, and after hours she would fall to sleep.
"Anna, let's go do something to get your mind off things," Hans suggested to Anna as she began asking more and more questions. Anna agreed and they walked out of the castle, it was now always opened gates, Anna wanted company to keep her busy now.
Once Hans and Anna were out of the castle Anna would turn back to the girl she used to be; not the girl that was always worried. She looked at the chocolate, that was freezing, and then to the blankets that were being passed out. The blankets would always show up and would remind her of Elsa but she quickly looked away determined to not think.
Hans and Anna got hot chocolate from a stand and drank it slowly as they laughed and talked. Hans would throw out comments on their surrounding about how cold it was and annoy Anna a tiny bit with his comments; still reminding her of Elsa.
"We should do this every day!" Anna squealed happily while throwing her hands in the air for no reason. Hans glanced over to Anna and then back to the village where he was staring at before.
"Sure, we could," Hans approved, "But we still have to do paperwork now." Hans pretended to sigh, he really just wanted to get rid of her, but that would be chaos in the kingdom knowing that he wasn't really in love with her.
"We could buy chocolate! And we could also buy – OH! Look, KRISTOFF!" Anna yelled waving like crazy and began to run over, Hans following shortly. Kristoff gave a look of confusion at who was calling his name and then realized it was Anna, a wave of terror struck his face.
"Oh, uh hi, Princess Anna? Queen Anna? What should I call you now?" Kristoff pondered out loud, looking confused now. He scratched the back of his head and slouched down now.
"You can just call me Anna," Anna stated quickly, "Where have you been? Have you seen Elsa?" Anna's heart pounded loudly even though no one else could hear it.
"I've been at the mountains – no I haven't seen Elsa, I was going to see her at first but then decided she would want to see me… Because she didn't want to hurt me, she wouldn't hurt me though of course." Kristoff replied looking at Anna as her felt dropped and cracked a bit. "Sorry," he added.
"Oh," Anna said beginning to slouch like Kristoff; she slowly made her way down to the floor though while Kristoff stood.
"Anna, are you alright?" Hans' voice spoke after a minute; it looked like Anna was having a mental break down now.
"Oh, yeah… I'm alright," Anna's voice chocked the words out like breaths. She, as slow as a snail, got to her feet. She forced a smile. "I think it's time to go back to the castle…" Anna sighed as she turned around without anyone agreeing or saying anything and headed back as though she was being chased by a monster.
"What do I do?" Elsa spoke to herself quietly, her hands shaking, "I'm free, and I'm supposed to do anything, Elsa, do something!" She looked at the ground she was sitting on, ice cold; just like she felt. Why can't I do anything? She repeated over in her mind the thought; she was useless at the moment for doing anything but thinking.
Should I go back to Arendelle, should I just go embarrass myself in front of Hans, Kristoff, and Anna, the whole kingdom must think I'm a coward? Stop thinking! You've thought enough. Elsa thought for so long and over her thoughts, she decided it would be best to stay a couple more days until Anna appears, Anna has to appear soon, or Kristoff, even if she did know that she could hurt them she wanted to see them again.
