Summary: Was Elsa badly injured in the battle with Kale?

Anna was very concerned about Elsa, but every time Anna asked Elsa kept saying that she was fine. Elsa was right though she just took two kicks to the stomach just last evening and it was probably nothing. Anna was listening to Elsa apologize to Kristoff when Anna noticed that Elsa had blood on her hand. Anna started to move to look at Elsa's hand when suddenly Elsa started to collapse and Anna caught her and gently laid Elsa on the ground.

"What happened?" Kristoff asked, as he knelt next to Elsa and Anna saw that Elsa had blood coming from her mouth.

"We had a run in with the looter Kale and they attacked us. Elsa was able to incase his hands with ice, but he kicked her in the stomach and knocked the wind out of her and that was all I thought," Anna started to unbutton Elsa's shirt and uncovered a huge black and blue marks all over her stomach all the way up to her ribs. Kristoff suddenly rips open the rest of Elsa's shirt and looked at Elsa's black and blue ribs.

"She has a broken rib and that rib might have pushed into her lung I have seen it before," Kristoff pointed at one of Elsa's ribs and Anna noticed that that rib looked to be missing. Kristoff pulled out a knife and moved around next to Anna.

"What are you going to do?" Anna asked, looking at Kristoff.

"We have to move the rib back into place I'll use my knife to move the rib. I have done this before," Kristoff moved the knife closer to Elsa's skin and then stopped. "Hold her down tight I don't want her to freeze me or move suddenly causing me to stab her lung," Kristoff stated. Anna nearly lay on Elsa holding both her arms together and incasing Elsa's legs with her own. "She isn't going to like this ether just be ready," Kristoff said, as he cut Elsa's skin and she screamed out. Kristoff then pushed his fingers into her skin and Elsa screamed louder and suddenly Kristoff pulled a little. Anna heard a pop and looked at Elsa's skin and saw a rib suddenly appear under her skin as Kristoff pulled out and cover Elsa's wound with a handkerchief. "Put pressure and I'm to get something to burn the wound close," Anna fallowed his direction and pushed the handkerchief into Elsa's wound. Kristoff went off and pulled a red hot fire poker out of the fire. "Hold her tight Anna," Kristoff said, and he pulled the handkerchief away and placed the poker against Elsa skin and Anna could smell burning flesh and Elsa screamed again.

Several guards came barging in and Kristoff yelled "Out I'll call for you if I need you. Have someone prepared a room for my guests and we will need help carrying her to the room," the guards stopped immediately. Kristoff set the poker aside and looked at Elsa's wound "It seems to have stopped the bleeding. Keep an eye on her when she wakes up if she is still coughing blood we might have a problem," Kristoff stated, as he covered Elsa skin saving her dignity.

"Thank you Kristoff," Anna said, thinking that she should have done something.

"You are welcome," Kristoff said, wiping the blood from his hand with the handkerchief and several men came in and gently picked up Elsa. They carried her to the guest bed room that Anna stayed in before. The men laid Elsa down on the bed and left, Anna washed Elsa's wound and then pinned Elsa's shirt closed. Then Anna sat next to the bed in one of the chairs that was in the room.

Anna had her feet up on the bed and was staring at Elsa watching her breath without coughing for the entire night. It was just a little before sunrise when Elsa rolled over and looked at Anna and she gave a weak grin.

"What happened?" Elsa asked.

"Kristoff saved your life," Anna answered, "apparently the kick broke one of your ribs and it was pushed against your lung. Kristoff had to cut you open and moved your rib then burned the wound closed," Anna listed, what happened and if Elsa could have gone anymore pale then she already was, she did.

"I already owe him and our people so much now," Elsa just left off there and covered her face with her hands. "Well I want to go apologize and thank him now. Can we go talk to him?" Elsa asked.

"I think you should rest. I'll go see when we can talk to him, but first I'll get someone to bring you some food that is more than mushrooms and vegies," Anna said, as she stood and went towards the door. "I want you to rest," Anna said, as she left the room. There was a guard outside the door and he gave Anna a little nod when she came out "Can we have someone bring some food up for her?" Anna asked, and the guard nodded and led Anna to the large man with the crutch. Anna walked up to the man and then realized that she didn't know his name. "I'm sorry, but I don't know your name?" Anna asked.

"Kyle my lady," the large man with a crutch answered.

"Kyle I was hoping that some food could be brought up for my," Anna paused and rethought about using sister "partner she could use something to eat." Kyle nodded his head and sent off a servant to bring some food up for Elsa. The guard then took Anna to Kristoff's study, opened the door for her and announced Anna presence. Anna entered the room and saw Kristoff sitting behind the desk with Anna's picture behind him.

"I wanted to thank you for saving Elsa," Anna started, as she approached and sat in the chair near his desk.

"I have had to do that several times in the past and I couldn't just watch her die," Kristoff answered, without looking up "I should have never let the first council of Arendelle vilify her so." Kristoff shook his head and placed his good hand on his face he looked tired Anna thought.

"Elsa wants to apologize and also thank you," Anna stated.

"She should rest and the coronation is tomorrow so it will have to wait until the day after or so," Kristoff answered.

"So I didn't miss your coronation. I am glad I will be here for it," Anna wanted to see Kristoff happy again and thought maybe if she was at the coronation he might show some form of happiness. "It should be a happy day for you and your people and it will be nice to see some happiness here," Anna said, with a smile at Kristoff that use to bring a smile to his face, but not this time. Kristoff looked at Anna with a form of sadness, but no smile came.

"Thank you Anna, but it has been a long time since I found anything to smile about and my coronation is not going to be one of them," Kristoff answered, as he returned to the papers in front of him. Anna knew when it was time to go so she stood and turned to leave "I am glad you will be here for it and Elsa too at least in part since showing her face to the crowd might cause a panic. So if Elsa wants to come she will have to have her cloak up so that no one could see her face," only Kristoff's eye was visible over the paper and he had a look of sadness still.

"It will be as you ask Kristoff," Anna said, as she exited Kristoff's study and went back to her and Elsa's room.

Anna walked into the room to see Elsa sitting up in bed with her top off "I'm sorry Elsa I should have knocked," Anna said, as she started to back out of the room.

"It's ok Anna come in," Elsa called out. Anna came in and saw that Elsa held a small mirror and was looking at her side where Kristoff had to pull her rib back into place. "So he had to cut me open to fix it?" Elsa said, while looking at the mirror.

"Yes he said he had done it before and that you might still be in trouble, but hopefully not," Anna explained as she sat back in the chair she had sat in the whole night.

"Well he must have done a great job because it doesn't hurt to breath anymore and I haven't coughed up blood at all," Elsa said, as she made the mirror disappear and summoned up a new top. The mirror was ice not an actual mirror like Anna had thought, Elsa's abilities seem far superior then they were before Anna died. "So about apologizing, to Kristoff and thanking him. When can we speak to him?" Elsa asked.

"He is going to be busy the rest of today and the coronation is tomorrow so it won't be until the day after," Anna listed the days and Elsa's face fell as it looked like sadness started to take over.

"How will I ever repay these people Anna? I have caused so much pain and suffering how will I ever atone for my sins?" Elsa asked, while burying her face in her hands. Anna could tell that Elsa was on the verge of tears so Anna crawled into bed with Elsa and held her close and tight.

"You can't change the past you can only change the future and I hope that once we free the people of Atlantia and Corona the people here will see you have changed and will accept any help we can give," Anna said, while stroking Elsa's hair.

"I use to pride myself in not crying about things, but now I cry all the time," Elsa said, with a bunch of sniffs.

"Yea I did too, but crying has its uses too," Anna replied, while continuing to stroke Elsa's hair. Anna laid in bed with Elsa the rest of the day and the rest of the night watching over Elsa while she slept.
