Summary: Anna and Elsa reach Corona and find out that there is a problem with the Corona Royal family.
Anna reached for the latch when someone knocked at her door.
"Miss we are starting to pull into port," Anna threw open the door and the first mate's eyes bulged as he saw Anna in her red form. Anna just pushed by him and went upstairs. Anna came on deck and saw Corona was quickly approaching. Suddenly Anna felt someone behind her and Anna turned to see who it was. Elsa was trailing behind Anna and she had both her own back and Anna's. Anna cursed out loud as it was stupid to leave her bag. "Thank you," Anna hollered, as she grabbed the bag from Elsa.
"You're welcome," Elsa smiled as she moved past Anna. Anna could feel a little cold radiating from Elsa as she moved past. Anna anger raged at Elsa and whet to say something when the captain started yelling out as they pulled into port.
"I'm the body guard I should go first," Anna called out, as she walked over to the gang plank. Elsa just nodded her head as the ship was tied down and the men lowered the gang plank onto the deck. Anna recognized the port, but it looked very different. There were several guards standing at the end of the docks looking at everyone's papers. Before Anna walked off the ship and just walked into the city without being bothered, but now it's not the case.
Anna walked forward and reached and pulled out the papers that Kristoff had prepared for them. Anna fumed while they waited in line; patience was definitely hard when the flames in her core raged. Anna handed the papers to the guard. The guard looked at Anna and Elsa and then looked at the papers.
"I see you have a meeting with prince Raith about future trade rights?" the guard asked.
"Yes," Elsa answered.
"Ma'am you bear a striking resemblance to a wanted criminal. We are going to escort you to a guard house until we can confirm you are not the criminal," the guard answered, and waved several men forward.
"I don't think so that is ridiculous," Anna yelled out. "We have never been here before," Anna continued, but then Elsa's hand rested on Anna's shoulder.
"Of course guardsmen. You will have to excuse my body guard she is rather over protective. We have nothing to hide," Elsa then walked past Anna. Anna was furious that Elsa was going with them. This was a dangerous situation and she just walked into the hornets' nest. Anna kept looking around for potential ways of escaping, but there was no opportunity since Elsa was walking next to the guards.
"Madem your body guard will have to wait outside while we confirm you aren't the woman in white," the guards mentioned.
"That is not an option," Anna started, but Elsa interrupted.
"That is fine guardsman," Elsa answered, and glared at Anna. The fire inside Anna blazed white hot at Elsa. This is not a fine thing to do they shouldn't be separated.
"Your body guard has an anger issues," the guardsmen said, and Anna just about jumped on the back of the man and strangle him.
Elsa grabbed Anna's arm and looked at her in the eyes. "She is usually a very warm pleasant person, but with the problems with Weselton recently has her on edge. I'll be right back you stay here," Elsa touched Anna's arm and looked at her in the face. "We are fine," Elsa then went into the guardhouse.
Anna sat down on a bench outside and tried not to worry about Elsa. The fire inside her though just burned brightly and Anna kept looking at the house thinking about barging in to rescue Elsa. Anna counted to one hundred and then stood up to barge in when the door opened and Elsa walked out.
"I'm sorry ma'am," the guardsman said.
"It's no problem Guardsman it is all about keeping everyone safe," Elsa smiled, and touched the guardsman on the arm. Several other guardsmen came out behind Elsa and they were all smiling and laughing. "It was a pleasure gentleman," Elsa said, with a laugh.
"Ma'am the pleasure was all ours" the guardsmen all saluted Elsa as she walked over to Anna. Anna lowered her eyebrows and shrugged her shoulders. Elsa just walked up and grabbed Anna's arm. "I was once a queen and I know how to flatter men," Elsa whispered. "Now let's go find our friends," Elsa then walked towards the gate.
Anna had trouble keeping her flames going as Elsa did wonderful things. As they approached the main gate Anna started to lose her flames and the light inside her started to radiate again. Anna tried to pick up the pace, but Elsa kept walking rather slowly. "I'm having problems staying red and if I go white in the middle of this crowd we might have some explaining to do," Anna whispered to Elsa.
"I'm sorry," Elsa said, Anna looked at her with a questing look. When suddenly Elsa looked at Anna and yelled "Learn you place." Elsa then slapped Anna across the face. Anna was shocked and then the flames inside her screamed to life. "If you value your life and job don't you dare consider it? Now do your job and that is it," Elsa yelled, at her. "Now we will head out of the city and you will do your job," Elsa then pointed towards the gate. Anna could barely contain her rage at Elsa hitting her, but it did the job. Anna started towards the gate and the crowd parted in front of her. Anna looked over her shoulder and saw Elsa walking behind her. Anna stopped at the gate and the guardsmen looked at her like he had been there.
"Papers?" the guardsmen asked.
Anna pulled out the papers and whispered to the guardsmen "These royal babies sometimes." The guardsmen just smiled at Anna with a nod of his head. The guardsmen barely glanced at the papers before waving Anna and Elsa through.
Once they walked a little way past Elsa caught up to Anna "I'm sorry, but it was the only thing I could think to do to help."
"It's ok. With you around I appear to have problems staying negative," Anna said, while her core started to smolder and change from red to white. They walked over the last of the bridge and Anna turned towards the bar Snugly Duckling.
Elsa suddenly jumped with shock. Anna's core returned to normal as she couldn't keep her fire burning. "I don't know if I will ever get used to it," Elsa said, with a smile.
"I'm barely used to it I don't expect you to, but we should be fine since I'm pretty sure were we need to go," Anna continued to lead the way. It was midday by the time Anna reached the huge oak tree.
"That is a big tree," Elsa said, as her eyes got really big. There were no trees this big around Old Arendelle. Anna then turned and saw the small creek that Eugene made them cross several times. Anna went to head straight towards were Anna thought that the cove was, but then stopped and looked around.
"Can you summon up some little scouts for us? We need to be extra safe they are wanted," Anna suddenly had visions of Anxelin crying over her parents bodies. Elsa nodded and summoned up some more butterflies and sent them flying every which way. Elsa closed her eyes and Anna just knelt down and waited.
"There is a man watching us in a tree to the south," Elsa whispered, to Anna.
"Wait here. I'll be back," Anna said, as she walked away from where the man was in the tree or where Rapunzel and Eugene's cove was. As soon as Anna felt like she was far enough away she broke into a sprint around. Anna suddenly saw one of Elsa's butterflies flying next to her. The butterfly started to lead Anna around the man watching them. Elsa might be waiting by the oak, but she was with Anna in spirit.
Anna came around a tree and the butterfly rose up and Anna saw the man in the tree. Anna was able to silently scale the tree behind the man and came up behind him. "Don't look but one of them is behind you with a knife."
The man froze all movement "Why are you in this part of the forest?" Eugene's voice rang out in front of Anna.
"Actually I was coming to see your beautiful wife and new baby," Anna whispered, and Eugene turned and looked at Anna.
"Thank god it's you," Eugene sighed. "Who is the other woman with you?" Eugene asked, as he started scaling down the tree.
"I have a secret weapon that is going to get your city back," Anna said, while fallowing him down. Anna couldn't helpm but look at Elsa's butterfly with a smile. "It's ok it's Eugene," Anna called out, to Elsa.
"I know," Elsa called out, as they came around another tree.
Eugene stopped and stared at Elsa. Elsa just shrugged and smiled to him. "I was able to heal Elsa's madness. Now she is here to help me heal this damaged world," Anna said, as she walked up to Elsa.
"It's good to see you back," Eugene said, as he held a hand out to Elsa. Elsa grabbed Eugene's hand and shook it.
"So, how's the new baby doing?" Elsa asked.
"Not here yet. He or she seems to like it in there too much to come out," Eugene said, with a smile. "So you guys have a plan I assume?" Eugene asked, as he led the way.
"Yes, but let's get to a safe place to talk first," Elsa answered, before Anna could say anything. Eugene led them in a very direct path to the cove this time. As soon as Anna got close to the small town she knew something was wrong. Then the screams that echoed through the cove cause all three of them to sprint into town.
Eugene came barging into his house and the screams got louder. "Daddy the baby is coming," Anxelin screamed out through her tears. Eugene charged to Rapunzel's side and she grabbed him while Anxelin hugged Anna.
"Something is wrong Eugene," Rapunzel screamed out, and the midwife dabbed her head.
"Midwife what's the matter?" Eugene asked.
"The baby is too big. We can try and pull it out, but that might cause some tearing that could cause permanent damage," the midwife answered calmly. "The other option is we try to cut the baby out, but that has the same risks," the midwife laid, out the options.
Elsa and Anna just stood there holding Anxelin as Eugene and Rapunzel whispered to each other about what to do.
"Let's try and cut the baby out," Eugene answered, and Rapunzel nodded her head. The midwife then grabbed a small bottle and poured some liquid on a cloth. As soon as the midwife placed the cloth over Rapunzel's nose she drifted off to sleep. The Midwife then pulled out some knives and went to work. Soon the baby's cries filled the house.
The Midwife gave the baby to Eugene "It's a boy." Eugene and Anxelin both started talking about names.
Anna watched the Midwife work more and more and soon started to look fearful.
"I can't stop the bleeding," she said and kept trying to save Rapunzel, but the pool of blood below Rapunzel grew and grew. Anna watched as Eugene came to realize what Anna was afraid of.
"Whats wrong?" Eugene asked.
"I'm losing her because I can't stop the bleeding," Eugene handed the baby to Elsa and walked over to Rapunzel with Anxelin. Suddenly Rapunzel started to convulse and then went limp and stopped breathing. "I'm so sorry your majesty," was all the Midwife could say. Both Eugene and Anxelin cried out and started talking to Rapunzel.
Anna watched in horror as Rapunzel's light floated out of her chest. Anna's mouth dropped opened as the light from Rapunzel was as bright and golden as the sun. The golden light floated around Eugene, Anxelin and then around the new baby. The light started floating towards Anna "NO," Anna screamed, as she grabbed the golden light and pushed it back towards Rapunzel. The golden light tried to pass through Anna like Kai's did, but Anna refused to let it go.
"No Rapunzel you have a beautiful family and a new baby that needs you. You can't leave," Anna cried out, as she pushed the golden light back into Rapunzel's chest. Anna then poured her love into her core and then poured the light from her core into Rapunzel. The golden light flared in response to Anna's light. Anna wrapped her arms around Rapunzel and hugged her close as she once did with Elsa. Suddenly the light took hold in Rapunzel's chest once again. Rapunzel's golden light flared in response to Anna's white light and the combination of golden and white light filled the room
Suddenly Rapunzel's chest started moving again as she started to breath once more.
Anna pulled away and looked down and saw Rapunzel's stomach had returned to a normal flat look and no scar was visible.
"It was just like when her hair was golden and could cure things" Eugene said.
"Thank you," Rapunzel's voice rang out next to Anna as her eye's opened.
"I was so tired Anna and I started to fallow my parents voices, but then I heard you yelling at me. It reminded me that I had something to live for and I called upon a light inside me that I never even realized was there. When my golden hair faded I thought I had lost that power, but it was always inside me the hair was just the visual effect. We were able to heal me," Rapunzel explained, as Elsa brought the new baby and laid him on Rapunzel.
Anna pulled away and let the family celebrate. Elsa fallowed Anna out of the house and the Midwife also fallowed. "I never thought I would see a miracle with my own eyes. Thank you. Please if there is anything I can do for you?" the Midwife asked.
"Actually could you find a place for my sister to sleep," Anna asked, as she looked up into the sky and saw that it was well past sunset.
"Yes of course," the Midwife led them to her house where she had a spare bed for Elsa.
"You are amazing," Elsa said, to Anna as she changed her cloths after the Midwife showed them to Elsa's room.
"I was given these gifts. I don't even know what I'm doing most of the time. I didn't even know I could do what I just did until after I did it. I'm not amazing I'm just fumbling around in the dark and hoping for the best Elsa," Anna explained. How many lives could Anna of save if she had tried. All those Arendelle men at Elsa's fortress and Kai could be alive right now if Anna had tired. Anna felt guilty about all those lives she could have saved.
Elsa must have realized that Anna was not right and wrapped her arms around Anna. "You can't change the past just the future. You don't know if you could have truly saved Rapunzel without her own magic," Elsa tried, to rationalize with Anna. Anna however couldn't help, but sit down and cry for those she might have been able to save. Elsa sat down and held Anna until the tears stopped flowing. "Come lay down with me," Elsa pulled Anna over towards the bed. Anna lay down with Elsa and Elsa wrapped and arm and a leg around Anna. Elsa quickly drifted off to sleep.
I'm sorry for such a long wait between updates. I was out of town for the Xmas Holiday and the internet at my in-laws is spotty at best of times.
