Anybody else think Idina rocked it at the Oscars? I'd just like to say congratulations to the whole Frozen team! You guys made, probably, the best Disney movie I've ever seen. Thank you. Did anybody see Idina on Jimmy Fallon tonight, too? Tears were brought to my eyes. I'm too manly.

Anyways, let's check in with Idina Menzel's alter ego, Elsa.


Chapter 20

Anna


She slowly came to, feeling the heat of the fire all around her. Anna stretched, and yawned. She rolled over, and tried to go back to sleep. Then she remembered. Anna shot straight up.

The three of them sat around a campfire, Kristoff and Sven to her left, Elsa sitting on the other side of the fire, resting against a tree. Anna studied her surroundings. It was night, probably late. Kristoff looked like he had tried to get some sleep, but had woken up many times. Elsa, on the other hand, looked absolutely exhausted. She was dressed in her ice dress that she'd worn when the Eternal Winter incident was going on. She looked exactly the same.

"Elsa..?" Anna asked, quietly. Only the sound of the crackling fire answered her. Kristoff put his arm around Anna.

"Just... Let her be." he whispered.

Elsa was surrounded by a small layer of frost, surrounding her at all sides, unaffected by the fire.

"You... You guys left Stian and Olaf behind." she whispered.

"Trust me. We'll get them back. Stian just needs to wake up, and if he and Elsa both use their powers to overpower Asle, we can get both of them out of there. It seems simple, but..."

"But what?"

"Elsa's... Not it the best of shapes right now... You should go talk to her. I've tried, but she won't say anything." He said, petting Sven. Anna stood up, and went to the other side of the fire. She sat down next to her Sister. Elsa's face was hidden in the shadows, but Anna knew it probably didn't look to flattering.

"Elsa?" Anna asked timidly. Nothing.

"Look... Elsa, I know it's hard-"

"Just... Leave me alone." Elsa whispered. Anna stopped for a moment.

"We have to go back for them. Elsa, we can save Olaf and Stian. Listen, it'll be easy. Get in, get those two, get out. You did it last time with me."

"We almost didn't."

"But you did. Elsa, don't forget your baby girl at home. Neiva has a Father, and you have a Husband. We all owe him this." Anna said, putting her hand on Elsa's cold shoulder. Elsa wiped her face, and moved from the shadows. It was red from all the crying, and her makeup had smeared. She wiped it off her face, looking more natural than Anna's seen her in a long time. Anna went back to Kristoff.

"Who knows if Stian's in any condition to use his powers?"

"Hmm... Good point. When are we going back?" Anna asked.

"Tomorrow morning, well, I guess it'd be this morning. A few hours." Kristoff shrugged.

"We should really get some sleep." Anna insisted.

"Trust me, I've tried."

"Well, I'm bushed. See you two in the morning." Anna said, laying down on her back. Kristoff joined her. They peered up at the sky, at the stars.

"They're beautiful tonight." Kristoff said.

"They sure are." Anna smiled. Anna cuddled up to him, and Kristoff let out a sigh.

"Things are changing, aren't they?" he asked.

"What?" Anna asked, facing him, her blue eyes gazing into his.

"I mean... Elsa and Stian are Queen and King... We've got a new Princess of Arendelle, we're married now. The only one who's life hasn't changed drastically is Olaf's."

"He's only a year old."

"Still." Kristoff said, they both laughed. Anna immediately felt bad, gazing at her cowering Sister on the other side of the fire.

"Elsa, come here." Anna said, opening up her arms. Elsa didn't move. "Come on, now! Don't play that game with me. Elsa, I love you. You're my Sister. I'm supposed to help you when you're scared. Come here."

Elsa shifted, and turned to face the two. She slowly made her way to her Sister, and also reclined back onto Sven's furry body.

"I'm sorry you two. It's just... So much is happening." Elsa wiped her eyes.

"Don't even get me started on Hans." Anna rolled her eyes.

"Your Majesties!" came a voice from the forest.

"Speaking of Hans..." Elsa said, slowly rising to her feet, ready to freeze him. The Prince himself emerged from the trees, riding a horse. He wasn't in his rags anymore, in fact, he looked quite Princely again. Clean shaven, and fancy dress.

"What are you doing here?" Anna asked, taking a spot next to her Sister, fists at the ready.

"I came alone... And unarmed! Three more element bearers have arrived in Arendelle." Hans breathed. Elsa lowered her hands.

"Three?"

"Yuri put out an order for them. Quite a few people showed up, but only three demonstrated their powers. We have both masters of stone, and one more master of fire, Cassius." he reported.

"And the bearers of stone?" Elsa asked.

"Elizabeth and Joseph. Twins, from Britain." Hans said, dismounting his horse.

"Britain." Kristoff's eyes grew large. Anna knew he always wanted to travel.

"That means there's... One more. Energy." Anna said.

"That's not why I came here. Where have you guys been?" Hans asked.

"Asle's got Olaf and Stian. We're going to save them." Elsa said.

"Count me in." Hans put his hand out to Elsa. The Queen did nothing.

"Why should we trust you?" she asked. Hans frowned.

"I'm trying everything I can to prove this to you, Elsa. I am, really. I've recruited Elemental Bearers, and I've defended Arendelle from Briarvale for the past few days. Please, just accept me."

"We'll see. Until then, we are allies. Not friends." Elsa shook his hand.

"Where do we start?" Hans asked.

Anna pointed, "There."

Hans looked in the direction she was pointing. He whistled.

"Some castle. Let's go."

"Now?" Kristoff asked. Hans stopped.

"Yeah, now! Why not?"

"Good point." he said, grabbing his pickaxe. Anna swallowed. All right. Here they go.

"Let's go get back my husband." Elsa said, frost coming from her lungs.
