Hey everyone! Thanks for all the great reviews this past week and for being so patient.
Here it is.. The moment of finding out Elsa's loyalty! Anna or Hans?
Enjoy!
Elsa's POV
I stare at Hans and I can feel the temperature drop.
" H-Hans! You're here.."
He nods glancing at Anna.
" I did promise I would come, didn't I?"
His eyes slide back to me and I panic. Anna is still here...
" Hans, I can explain-"
He releases my shoulder and pats it.
" Elsa it's okay, I know it's a big task. Your mission can still be accomplished, trust me."
Anna stomps closer looking angry at Hans.
" YOU! Get away from Elsa! You have some nerve showing up here. Whatever you are planing on doing to her-"
Hans chuckles darkly as he places his hand lightly back on my shoulder.
" I'm not here to do anything, Anna. Although..Elsa is..."
My heart catches in my throat as she stops and her eyes slide to me.
" Whadda you mean?
Hans frowns.
" Oh she didn't tell you? Elsa's going to freeze your heart."
Silence. Anna's eyes flit between Hans and myself.
" She wouldn't- I mean she's my sister and-"
Hans steps beside me gripping my shoulder and his smirk returning.
" Oh no Anna, I'm her brother so.. Elsa is mine. "
His hand tightens even more painfully on my shoulder at the word 'Mine' and I squirm slightly in discomfort. I glance over at him pleading but he's too busy staring at Anna to notice.
Anna's POV
Hans continues to stare at me smirking as he releases Elsa's shoulder and gestures to the throne room doors.
" Elsa, Why don't you go alert the council of their rightful ruler's arrival?"
I watch Elsa give a slight jump clearly not expecting to be sent away and nods vigorously before glancing at me nervously then stumbles to the doors quickly.
After she's gone and the doors quietly click shut, Hans' smirk disappears to a sneer and he tuts.
" the girl's clumsiness and slow reaction time is something I'm going to have to work on in the future."
I scowl at him.
" That girl is my sister and She has great reflex time! Now get out, before I have you thrown in prison."
Hans scoffs and starts walking to circle me with his hands behind his back.
" Prison? Hah, I doubt it. With the current queen on my side, I can do whatever I want. Elsa will give me the throne happily and I will use her powers to dispose of anyone who objects."
My blood boils as I whip around to face him.
" is that why you did this? To use Elsa?!"
He smirks continuing his walk around me. I stop mu foot.
" You wont get away with this!"
He unsheathe his sword and I'm surprised to see its made of red ice. I notice The hilt is wrapped in leather as he spins it around slowly. Then I realize, it must be made of Elsa's ice. But.. Why is it red? Hans seems pleased at my surprised face and sheathes his sword again.
" Oh Anna, I believe I already have. Elsa will freeze your heart again but this time.. There will be no one to unfreeze you."
I open my mouth to reply when one of The throne room doors opens slightly and Elsa timidly peeks in before inching inside a closing the door behind her quietly. She keeps her eyes down casted as she approaches almost as if she's afraid to make eye contact. I glance at Hans angrily, he made her like this. Elsa's voice lacks emotion as she speaks.
" The council has gathered and would like to see you.."
Hans nods and starts heading for the door.
" Good. Now Elsa?"
Hesitantly, She looks up at him and he continues with his eyes boring into hers.
" Freeze her heart while I'm gone okay?"
She winces but nods and Hans leaves slamming the doors behind him.
Elsa's POV
Its silent after Hans leaves and I feel stiff as I turn to Anna. Maybe I can change Hans' mind... I look at the floor as I find my voice.
" Anna.. Do you hate Hans?"
Anna is quiet before answering with her voice sounding harsh.
"Well not before but I'm starting to."
I sigh.
" Then I'm sorry."
I stare at her for a moment before slowly raising my left hand trying to ignore the fact it's shaking. I work to avoid thinking about the throbbing in my head as it grows and as the burning in my chest deepens. I start to slowly gather power into my hand as images of Anna go through my head; Anna perched on the edge of a desk while I sign documents, Anna stuffing her face with chocolate and giving me a playful look as I scold her, Anna knocking over two suits of armor in the foyer, Anna tripping over a stack of books I'm studying, Anna laughing with me as snow falls around us, Anna,Anna,And more Anna. I shake my head to clear it of these unknown images just to see Anna, the real Anna standing before me calmly as My palm starts to glow blue. I can just feel the power eager to be released, perhaps even eager to freeze someone's heart. Because maybe I am a monster...
The temperature of the room drops again and catch Anna starting to shiver. Do it Elsa, come on... Frost emerges beneath me stretching out to the corners of the room. Do you really want to disappoint Hans? More frost. He is your brother.. He saved your life..Do it... I glare at Anna and aim my hand at her now ready to release.. when I realize something. My voice is shaky.
" I..I can't do it..."
Anna's POV
My eyes widen and For a moment I'm thinking I'm mishearing her.
" What?"
Elsa lowers her hand with her brow furrowed. She seems confused.
" I Can't."
Her voice has a hint of uncertainty as She stares at her hands. I take a step in her direction and her head snaps up to me.
" Go."
I stop.
" Huh?"
She aims both her hands to my right, and I jump as ice starts shooting from them. She doesn't look at me.
" You need to leave before my brother gets back. Go through the window, and run."
My shake my head.
" Leave? While you stay here with Hans? No way!"
Elsa stays focused on the ice as she frowns in concentration. I take another step closer to her.
" Your mission..This is what you've been afraid of failing this whole time right? We'll go together because if you stay here..."
My words tamper off as the ice takes form and my jaw drops at the realization of what it is. The ice is flows into legs and works its way up starting and stopping in just the right places to form a crystal person. I can't help but stare, the ice crystal person is me. It's me standing stillI take step towards it. Was that what I looked like on the on the fjord a year ago...
We both study it for a moment then she turns looking me in the eyes and I realize just how much she understands her decision, her eyes are filled with sadness and fear.
" Hans is my brother..I can't leave him."
I take another step towards her when I notice shes trembling. I can't leave her, especially thinking this...
Elsa's POV
Anna starts walking towards me but my eyes keep drifting to the ice sculpture. It frightens me for some reason.
I can't handle it anymore, Pressure started building inside my chest as I started that ice sculpture and it has only grown. I dont know why but the details of the ice sculpture just came naturally to me and I feel sick.
" Elsa, Hans isn't your-"
The pressure inside is growing. I need to get her out, now... I give Anna a stern look. I lift both my arms sending a arctic gust towards her.
" No, I said..GO!"
The icy wind is strong enough to blast Anna out the open window and she disappears. Finally I find I cant hold in the power anymore and ice and snow is released in all directions uncontrollably. After a few minutes, I sink to my knees breathing heavy as a light snow falls around me. I jump slightly when I feel a hand on my arm. For a moment I think its Anna and I look up to find Hans. He nods to the ice statue looking pleased and to my great relief that it survived my power surge.
" Well done Elsa, Father and Mother would be proud."
His grip tightens on my arm and drags me up.
" You need rest.. Lets get you to bed with a nice glass of healing water."
I frown slightly but I'm too exhausted to disagree, so I just nod as he leads me out of the room. I risk a glance back at the open window.
Get away Anna, far away and be safe...
Please don't hate me... Xp
