"Does my hair look okay?" Ellie asked, taking place in front of her sister's mirror.
"It looks fine," Annaleise replied. She turned to her mirror, and out of the corner of her eye, a trickling of a powdery substance spilled out of the edge of the mirror. She cautiously brought herself closer and realized that this substance was sand. Not just any sand. Black sand. "Ellie, stand back!" Annaleise yelped as she attempted to burn the edge of the mirror to stop of the flow of sand.
"Wh-what is that?!" Ellie peered over her sisters shoulder, trying to get a better view.
"It's not working, why isn't it working?!" Annaleise angrily growled, her hands beginning to throb as the stream of flames began to flow from her fingertips. She clasped her hands shut, the flames immediately stopping. She took a deep breath and stepped closer to the mirror. "Cover your eyes."
"I suppose I should help the girls get ready for their big night. Anna I could use your help." Elsa sighed, Jack helping her out of her throne.
"You've got it, I'm always ready to help my nieces."
"While you two do that, I'll go ready the Guardians. They're pretty excited for tonight, so Ill see you all in a few hours?" Jack tapped his staff on the ground, a board of ice hovering under his feet, ready to take off at an moment.
"A few hours, no later. Don't forget to-" Elsa began to say, but was interrupted by a shrill scream from upstairs.
""MAMA, PAPA, COME QUICK!" Ellie screamed from the top of the stairs, the three racing as fast as they could to the screaming princess.
"Ellie, what's going on?" A worried Elsa asked, as she was pulled to Annaleise's room.
"Annaleise smashed her mirror. There's glass everywhere!"
"What?! Why would she-" Elsa gasped as she saw the shards of glass scattered throughout the princesses room. Her eyes scanned every single corner and stopped as she saw Annaleise bent over on her knees, clenching her arm, tiny pieces of glass embedded into her skin. "Anna, please hurry and get some tweezers, a towel and hot water!"
"You've got it."
Jack examined the room, his eyes focusing on the pile of black right under the metal remains of the mirror. "Uh, Elsa, you need to see this." Jack took some of the sand and placed it into his palm, carrying it over to his wife.
Elsa's hands gently held Annaleise's forearm as her arms began to shake. Jack knelt next to her, his palm holding the sand. "Is that..?"
"It is." Jack gulped.
This isn't good.
"Back! The tweezers were hidden but I fou-*gasp*. Elsa, she's bleeding more!" Anna exclaimed, quickly tossing her the towel.
"AH!" Annaleise winced as Elsa began to pat her arm with the towel. Anna gave her sister the bowl and tweezers, taking her nieces hand as Elsa slowly began to pick the pieces of glass out of Annaleise's arm.
"Annaleise, are-"
"I'm fine, Ellie." Annaleise growled, not meaning for those words to come out as cold as they did. "I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean for it to-OW."
"No, it's long as you're alright, that's all that matters. Do you want anything?" Ellie asked, helping Jack pick up the bigger shards of glass.
Annaleise nodded, Ellie coming close so her sister could whisper in her ear. "Would you make me an ice daisy?"
"An ice daisy? What do you want one of those for?" Ellie cocked her brow.
"Please?"
"Fine." Ellie happily sighed. Waving her hands together, a crystal clear daisy formed in her hands. She broke part of the stem off and placed it behind her sisters ear. "Happy birthday, brat."
"Thaaaaahhhh!"
"Keep still, there's still pieces of glass left." Elsa sternly said, trying to get the rest of the glass out. "Now, why did you break your mirror with your arm?"
"Black sand..it began to pour out of the edge and I guess I..acted before I thought things through and broke it with a single punch."
As if this day couldn't get any worse.
Elsa finally picked the last piece of glass from Annaleise's skin, gently patting her arm with the wet towel, Annaleise wincing at the stinging. Taking the roll of bandages Anna brought along, she gently wrapped her daughter's entire forearm and hand. She was no nurse, but when it came to either of her children becoming injured, she felt as if she had became an expert.
"There, all done." Elsa stood up, holding her hand out for Annaleise to grab, with her free hand, and helped her up. "Next time,if it does happen again, come get your father or I. You won't need to have either of us pick pieces of glass out of your arm."
"I'll remember to keep that in mind." Annaleise sighed, holding her arm in her hand.
"You sure gave her a spook, Pitch." Hans said, pacing the cabin floor.
"That's just the appetizer before the main entree. I take it that Prince is delivering the letter to her majesty tonight?" Pitch wrapped himself along the beam along the ceiling, stretching.
"Prince Oleg has every intention to help us. Of course he is, he was burned by Annaleise so of course he wants in on the gig." Hans snickered, sharpening his sword next to the fire.
"This will be one night Arendelle will never forget. Like mother like daughter, eh?"
"Annaleise, hurry up, the boys will be here ANY minute, and you're still not done?" Ellie called from outside her sisters door.
"I'll be out in a minute, let me finish my face and I'll be right out." Annaleise took one last look at herself at the mirror as she applied the pale red lip color upon her lips. "We've made it this far, let's not make this day even worse." She placed the ruby ring Ellie had gotten her upon her right ring finger, smiled and stepped out from her room, greeted by her sister.
"Well now, don't we look pretty for Bjørn?" Ellie giggled.
""I don't know about you, but what if Fritz doesn't like purple and white together? Maybe he's allergic to purple." Annaleise snorted as she placed her crown upon her head and her sisters.
"I highly doubt that. Besides, they came for the party, not for a color aversion."
"Hey, *sniff sniff* what is that AMAZING smell?" Annaleise asked, her nose perking up at her favorite treat.
The girls stuck their noses in the air, following the smell coming from downstairs. "CHOCOLATE!"
"CHOCOLATE!" The girls heard from the bottom of the staircase, followed by giggling.
"Every single year they've done that." Annaleise shook her head, smiling.
"Well, shall we?" Ellie asked, taking her sister's arm. gently swinging it back and forth.
"It's now or never I suppose." Annaleise winked, leading her sister down the stairs, arm in arm, down to the ballroom.
"And finally, presenting the birthday girls, their highness's, Princess Annaleise and Princess Elisabeth."
The two girls made their entrances, lightly curtsying to the audience, locking eyes with the boys as they straightened up. "Fritz!" Ellie exclaimed, quickly walking to her beau, giving him an enormous hug, nearly knocking him over.
"Elisabeth, it's been a while. I've missed you so much." Fritz sighed, locking eyes with Elsa, backing up a little and taking her hands. "I forgot your present at home, I apologize for not having one with me."
"Fritz, you being here is better than any present I could ever get. Let's get some punch and join the fun people." Ellie winked, pulling Fritz along to the punch table, Fritz pouring them both a glass of punch.
"Now?" Jack asked.
"Now." Elsa nodded.
Both Jack and Elsa held their hands up, ice and snow swirling around their hands, creating a gigantic dome of ice, surrounding the entire palace and harbor.
"We should probably tell the girls why there's a huge ice dome over Arendelle, don't you suppose?" Jack asked, ice spilling from his hands.
Elsa didn't hear him, determined to protect Arendelle and her family from the attack from Hans.
"Elsa?"
Nothing.
"ELSA!"
"What!"
"Would you agree we should tell the girls about...this?"Jack answered, lowering Elsa's hands, the ice no longer flowing from her fingertips.
"I suppose you're right. Now's better than never." Elsa linked her arm in Jack's, returning to the party, the dome of ice shimmering in the moonlight.
Unlike Ellie's greeting for Fritz, Annaleise grabbed Bjørn by the arm and yanked him out of the ballroom into the hallway. "I'm happy to see you t-" Annaleise placed her pale red lips upon Bjørn's, shutting him up. He gently pulled away, noticing the look of worry begin to show on her face. "Are..you alright?" He asked.
She shook her head now, flinging herself into Bjørn's arms, beginning to cry. "I'm just...just so happy to see you. Thats all." She pouted.
"I'm sure there's another reason It's because of that book, isn't it?"
"You could say that."
"Annaleise, what are the chances that this will actually happen?"
"Bjørn-"
"I mean, it was an argument that made it happen, right?"
Bjørn-"
"Annaleise, look at me." Bjørn turned Annaleise's head to his. "This won't happen. If there is no argument, it won't happen. Just stay away from her until the night's over. Simple as that."
"You want me to avoid my sister?"
"If you want to avoid an argument yes."
"You have a point there." Annaleise sighed, thumping back into his chest. "I don't wanna go back. But I'm kind of hungry. And thirsty."
"Yeah, your parents might not be too happy if we're just wandering around the palace," Bjørn winked, poking her nose.
"Your majesty, a letter for you." Frederick said, tapping Elsa on the shoulder as she stood near the balcony door.
"From who?" She whispered.
"It doesn't say, but I would be cautious about what could be inside it."
"I'll take your words for it."
Elsa carefully peeled back the envelope flap, pulling out a piece of tan paper with the insignia of the Norway flag.
"Good evening, your majesty. I should firstly congratulate you on your two daughters. They have certainly grown into lovely young princesses over the years. The red haired one, Annaleise is her name i believe? She looks exactly like you when you were younger. Speaking of her, I hear she is betrothed to the Prince of Olkstad."
"Who..who is this from?"
"Funny thing about that prince. He lives with his mother in the woods, yet no one has mentioned a thing about his father. How sad, I thought someone would have already told you. Well no matter, I know exactly who his father is. It may come as a shock of disbelief, but his father is me. Yes, Arendelle's favorite prince from the Southern Isles…"
"No. NO." Elsa's hands began shaking, not expecting this at all. She looked over to her daughter, chatting away with Bjørn near the punch table, then to Bjørn. Anna was right. Not bothering to read the rest of the letter, she quickly placed it back in the envelope and made her way to Annaleise.
"Annaleise?"
"Mother, what is?"
"Can I talk to you outside? Please?"
"Um, sure. Bjørn, I'll be right back." Annaleise said, placing her punch cup down.
"What is it?" Annaleise asked, Elsa leading her outside into the hallway.
Forgetting the idea about telling Annaleise about the ice dome, Elsa jumped right into the letter from Hans. "Annaleise, I need to talk to you about Bjørn."
"What about him?"
"I just received a letter, and it's about his father." Elsa's voice shook as she clenched the paper in her hand.
"What did it say?"
Elsa gulped and tossed the letter onto the floor "Hans is Bjørn's father."
"Oh, I thought it was something bad. Like you and papa changing your minds about our eng-"
"Annaleise, this is serious. Prince Han's is Bjørn's father. Do you have any idea how serious this it?"
"No not really. Its not like he actually wants anything to do with him."
"Wait, what? How do you know?"
"Bjorn..told me? He told me not to tell anyone about it because he didn't want to ruin the relationship between Olkstad and Arendelle. There's no reason to get upset about it."
"You've kept this from me? How...how could you do that?"
"Mother, it's not like Bjørn is going to murder me. Lighten up."
"Do NOT take that tone of voice with me, young lady."
"Oh, so now we're going to argue about this during the party?" Annaleise sassed, about to turn away.
"No, we're talking about this after the party. You , me, Bjørn and your father. You two have some explaining to do."
"Mother, this isn't fair!"
"Do you want to know what's not fair, Annaleise Frøya? Keeping secrets like this from your father and I. Speaking of secrets, you feel like can tell your aunt, and not me? Why are you so afraid to talk to me?" Elsa gently grabbed Annaleise's un-hurt arm.
"It's not like you know what I'm going through. I don't have ice powers like you, papa, and Ellie. And speaking of powers," Annaleise clenched her fist, opening it "I. HAVE. FIRE. POWERS," Annaleise said, an enormous flame floating in her right hand. Elsa's eyes widened, her mouth sightly agape. "There! Are you happy now?! I have fire magic!" The princess yanked her arm out of her mother's hand, turning to go back to the party.
She...she has...fire powers...Just like those visions. Elsa quickly snapped out of her daze. "Elske, wait!"
Annaleise paused, turning her head as she wrapped her arms around her chest.
"We can help you control it! I-I don't know how, but we-"
"It's too late for that," Annaleise sniffled. "I should have never been born if I would have known things would turn out like this."
"Elske-"
"How? How can you help ME control fire? YOU CAN'T. And you know what else you can't control? My life, mother. I'm not like you, and I never will be!" Annaleise swung the door upon, tears beginning to fill her eyes, as she walked into the ballroom.
Elsa stood there, as if she had been frozen herself. Never had Annaleise, or anyone for that matter, ever talked to her that way. She picked up the letter, Jack, poking his head out of the ballroom doors. "Elsa, Annaleise looks up- Hey, whats wrong?" He asked, Elsa slumping against the wall trying to hold her tears back.
"Jack...She...-"
Jack took the letter from her hand, reading it.
"Hans. He can't be. Elsa we need to do something."
"How?!" Elsa exclaimed. "I-I don't know what to do Jack, she hates me. She absolutely hates me." Elsa sobbed into Jack's chest.
"Annaleise! Hey, what's wrong?" Ellie began to cheerfully ask, noticing her sister was on the verge of crying.
The princess wiped her eyes, ignoring her sister.
"Hey wait!"
"Not now Ellie." Annaleise's eyes filled with tears. She was hurt enough, just wanting to be alone.
"Wait! What's wrong?"
"Not now!" Annaleise growled.
"Sis you can tell me anything, just tell me what happened?" Everyone began to turn their heads towards the patio as they heard the sisters arguing. Elsa shuffled to the patio, hoping to attempt to make things right with Annaleise.
"Its none of your concern, Elisabeth." Annaleise snapped.
"But wh-"
"Ellie, knock it off."
"Girls, please stop!" Elsa called from the doors as she noticed the two begin to argue.
"But sis-"
"I SAID STOP!" Annaleise raised her hand and shot out a blast of flames hurling towards Ellie, singeing her hair. A few strands began to turn not orange, but a pale purple color. Annaleise looked at her hands, which began shaking as if she shivered from the cold. She then looked up at her sister, Fritz who had caught Ellie, then Elsa, who couldn't believe that this just happened. "No, i didn't just..." Annaleise began walking backwards, almost tripping, turned around and ran out of the ballroom, Ellie chasing after her.
"Elisabeth, wait. It might be best if we let her cool off. No pun intended." Fritz said, holding her close.
"Ellie are you alright?" A worried Elsa asked, rushing to her daughter.
"I-I'm fine.I just*gasp*" Ellie saw the strand of hair that began to turn violet. "It...its happening.."
"Whats happening.?" Jack asked.
"There's something i need to tell you." Ellie said, realizing that now was the time to spill the truth.
Annaleise snuck into her room, her hands still shaking, scorching everything she touched. She had to go now. Go to Pabbie, so he could remove her powers once and for all. She wasn't sure he would be able to, but it was worth trying. She grabbed her cloak and dashed into the library, grabbing the book of the two sisters and booking it to the stables, mounting Eve. "Wha...what's this?" Annaleise asked, referring to the ice dome. Eve galloped to the dome, Annaleise knocking on it to see if was thick enough to burn through. She frowned, held her hands in front of her, burning a hole into the dome big enough for her and eve to escape out of.
Ellie led Elsa and Jack, followed by the boys, up to the library her heart beginning to race
"There's a book, up in the library. Its about two sisters, twins that have the powers of fire and ice who lived long ago and something bad happens on their 18th birthday and I think history is beginning to repeat itself." Ellie explained, running up the stairs to the library.
"That has to be the book Stefan was talking about. It has to be." Elsa sighed, as she waited in the doorway for Ellie.
Ellie looked around every single shelf, under the couch, behind thee drapes. Nothing. She did, however, notice black scorch marks slithering around the carpet of the library..
"Annaleise."
She had taken the book
"The book. No, she took it." Ellie turned to her parents. "Annaleise told me that if this happened, she was going to see someone about her powers."
"Who would she see?" Elsa asked.
"I-I don't know. The trolls? Oh, I don't know." Ellie's voice shook. "We need to stop her, and soon."
"She has fire powers, doesn't she, elske?"
Ellie nodded her head yes. "She..I promised not to tell, but she's in danger. Mor...I'm frightened!."
Elsa held Ellie close, gently swaying her back and forth. "She couldn't have gone far, there's a barrier keeping everyone in until the party's over."
"Um, mama?" Laurence poked his head through the door.
"Yes, love?"
"You might want to see this."
Annaleise ran into deep into the forest, not the forest that led to the Ice Palace, but the forest where the trolls resided. She clutched her pendant close to her heart, almost having second thoughts on doing this all together. But, it was something she had to do. History was NOT going to repeat itself.
"Pabbie? Pabbie, I need to talk to you!" Annaleise shouted, lowering her capes hood.
Pitch grinned from behind a tree, waiting for the interaction with the trolls.
"Princess, what can I do for you?" The old troll asked, rolling out of his rock form..
"I-I want my powers removed." Annaleise's voice shook.
"Why would you want your powers removed, my dear?"
"I-I don't want them anymore, they cause more harm than good. Can you remove them?"
"Princess, your powers are something that cannot be removed as simply as just asking You were born with this power, and the only way to take it away is if the one who granted these powers upon your family removed them."
"Who is it? Where can I find them?"
"She used to reside deep in the forest, near the borders of Olkstad, but I have no knowledge if she is still there or not. Your powers were a blessing, and not a curse. Removing them would only do more harm."
Annaleise knelt to the ground, wiping her tears against her cloak.
"I guess this is it then"
"I take it you still have yet to tell your parents."
"I can't even look at them right now. My mother and I had a horrid argument, one she probably told papa about. I can't do this Pabbie."
"I believe talking with your parents about this would make it much easier to live with these powers. Please, talk to them before it's too late." Pabbie replied, turning around and hopping off of his rock. "Now, if you excuse me, I must be off.
"Pabbie, Pabbie wait!"
Too late.
Annaleise angrily stood up, flames at her palms, kicking a loose stone off to the shook her head, the flames going away.
"He's right. I should tell them, but Eve. I don't know how."
Eve nudged Annaleise's shoulder.
"You're no help." Annaleise rubbed her mare's nuzzle, leading her away from the glen. Eve suddenly stopped trotting, sensing something bad was about to happen. "Eve, what's wrong?"
Annaleise looked around, nothing out of the ordinary.
"Eve, it's okay. Nothing's going to-" Annaleise paused, a rustling a few yards behind her made her the hairs on her neck stand straight up.
"Mother, father, we have to go find her before she does this." Ellie demanded, slipping her cloak over her shoulders, placing her hood over her head.
"Darling it's too dangerous out there," Elsa took Ellie's hand, hoping she would stop.
"Mother, I can't, I have to go after her. I don't want to lose my sister."
"I'm coming with you." Elsa demanded. "I don't care what you say. Part of this is my fault, I overreacted and she got upset." Ellie nodded and took her by the hand. "Jack, I need you to-" Elsa began to say.
"Laurence and I have this under control."
Elsa nodded and quickly ran to the stables, mounting their horses and riding off to to find Annaleise.
"An ice dome?"
"I'll explain on the way."
"Please, please don't do this." Both Elsa and Ellie pleaded to themselves.
*rustle rustle*
A crashing sound came from the surrounding woods, two men jumped behind the princess, covering her nose and mouth with a cloth covered in chloroform, her vision becoming blurred every second. The book fell off of Eve's saddle, onto the ground, her pendant flung next to it.
"M-mamma, p-papa, pl-please hel-help."
Ellie and Elsa galloped through the woods, the sun beginning to rise over the troll's glen. Ellie looked down at the ground and saw something shiny catch her eye. She halted Hail and hopped off. Elsa stopped her mare and trotted to Ellie.
"It's the book. Something happened to Annaleise. We need to save her, and fast!" Ellie hopped back on Hail and dashed to the clearing, Elsa following. Elsa had the worst fear a mother could have, the thought of losing her child to a cruel force. She knew Annaleise was old enough to make her own choices, but this one was not the greatest one she had ever made.
"I'm coming for you, darling. Just hold on."
Annaleise groaned, rubbing her head.
"Wh-where am I?"
"Safe from everyone." A mans voice responded.
Annaleise rubbed her eyes and looked around. Where in the world was she? It looked like an abandoned storehouse. She noticed her wrists were cuffed together, and try as she might to burn through them, they stayed on.
"So, you're finally awake, Princess. Princess Annaleise, I assume. Betrothed to my son Bjørn."
Wait. Bjørn's father. This was Hans.
Annaleise charged towards him, but a chain on her ankle threw her back as she reached the length of the chain.
"What do you want with me?" She growled.
"Oh princess, I don't want you. I want your fire powers."
"What would the likes of you want with my powers?" She hissed.
Hans stepped closer to her and squeezed her cheeks with his left hand. "Oh my dear Princess, the things you can do with someone else's powers. Make things, burn things, control things. You are so desperate to get rid of your powers, that you would trust anyone to take them away. How naïve." Hans evilly chuckled.
"I know what you did with my Aunt. You wanted to get to her to kill my mother and rule Arendelle. Why do you need me for?"
"The same reason I needed Anna. I need you to give me your fire powers, to get to everyone else and finally take my rightful place as King." Hans lifted her chin.
"Mother won't always be there to save you in your time of need. Even your sister, why should she help you? You really are something else. No, not something else. A monster." Annaleise felt the tears build up in her eyes, spilling out of the edges. "Like mother, like daughter. Why don't we get you out of these chains and finally take your powers away, like you want." Hans began to unlock her shackles. After unlocking the ankle chain, she swiftly kicked him in the stomach, knocking the wind out of him and running out of the house. She looked around, began to run and tripped over a root.
Ellie and Elsa saw Annaleise trip and jumped off of their horses, running to her.
"Ladies, watch out!" Jack shouted, creating a shield of ice around Annaleise. Hans burst through it, his sword still in tact.
"I have you now, fire princess" Hans snickered as he grabbed Annaleise by the end of her braid. He took his sword and sliced a good chunk of it off, the remaining strands falling just above her shoulders. He kicked her back, landing on the ground with her hands and knees.
"SIS! NO!" Ellie shouted. Just as Ellie released a blade of ice to stun Hans, Annaleise began to stand up and ended up being in the path of the blade. It struck her right in the chest just barely missing her heart, Annaleise falling to her knees. She saw her hair slowly begin to darken to a deep black color, clutching her chest as her skin began to turn pale. "No, I didn't just.." Ellie blasted Hans out of the way, rushing to her sister's side, holding her close as she felt her sister began to become colder by the second. Elsa and Jack followed, the pendant in Elsa's hands.
"Baby girl, keep your eyes open. You're going to be alright."
"Mor, jeg beklager.." Annaleise weakly apologized.
"None of that now, darling." Elsa replied, a tear rolling down her cheek.
Ellie angrily stared at Hans, standing up, taking her sister's pendant and pulling her dagger from her cloak's deep pocket, the blade growing to the length of a saber. "LEAVE. MY. FAMILY. ALONE."
"What are you going to do with that, Princess? Stun me?"
"FATHER, STOP!" Bjørn shouted from Misty, running to Hans, holding his sword's blade to his neck.
"You must be Bjørn. You've certainly developed Alex's temper."
"Save it. What did you do to Annaleise?!"
"I did nothing, her sister nearly killed her."
Bjørn placed his sword back into the hilt, rushing to Annaleise.
"I-I didn't mean to, it was an accident."
Bjørn nodded to Ellie, taking Annaleise's pale white hand and kissing it.
"Please, please fireball. You're going to be fine." Within a few moments, Annaleise's pendant began to glow, still in her hand. She dropped the necklace, an orange aura beginning to pour out of it, a small cyclone or orange and red emitted from the ruby. With barely any strength, Annaleise sat up and grasped her chest, makign her way to Ellie.
"Wait, what are you doing?" Elsa cried out.
Annaleise finally made it to her sister, slumping into her arms. She slightly smiled, tears of happiness rolling down her cheek. "Ellie-"
"No, NO NO NO! You aren't going in there!"
"Ellie, it's alright."
"No, not it's not, it's not supposed to happen this way, we were-"
"Ellie, listen to me." Annaleise weakly lifted her sister's pendant, and kissed it. She bent down, picking her pendant up and placed it in her hands. "I love you. I'll always be here, no matter what. I'll be back . I-I don't know how, but I promise I will." Annaleise's body began to disappear, becoming a watery-like liquid being pulled into the pendant. She looked to Elsa and smiled. "Mama. I…..I love you, and Papa, and everyone else. Just please, keep this with you, until I return."
Covering her mouth, Elsa nodded and clutched Jack's arm. She looked to Bjørn, who wasn't prepared to have his fiancee sucked into a pendant just yet, and took his hand, squeezing it tightly. "Please look after him, and Fritz. Don't…..don't let the boys destroy my room. And…." Annaleise's body was almost gone, still fading away into the ruby. "sing, sing to the pendant. Even if I can barely hear you, just sing." Her hand left her sister's, completely disappearing.
"No!" Elsa cried in disbelief as she clenched Jack's arm and Bjørn's hand.
"It's a shame it had to happen on her birthday, isn't it?" Hans said. "The poor girl was so afraid of being judged about having power that no one in the family has. Surrounded by ice all of her life. Surely you could attest to being in her situation." Taunted Hans. Elsa froze in fear, Ellie staring at the pendant, tears streaming down her face. "Sis..." "Like mother like daughter. Why didn't I think of this the last time we met?" Hans scoffed, Ellie running back to the group and held Elsa as she shook. "Till we meet again, Frosts." Hans disappeared on his horse through the howling winds Ellie created.
"Mor, what's gonna happen?" She asked.
"I-I don't know, elske. Let's go home." Elsa said, that feeling of loss starting to stab her in the chest. "My little girl...she's gone." She held the pendant up to her eyes, the ruby glimmering as it slowly spun at the chair. Jack, held Elsa's arm, trying to hold the tears back.
They got back to the palace, greeted by Anna, Kristoff, Anders and Laurence. "Where's big sis?" Laurence asked. Elsa tried to hold the tears back, but it didn't work. She fell to her knees and sobbed into her hands.
Anna came running over and looked up at Jack. "No...she isn't..." Kristoff, Anders and Laurence huddled around Elsa, and Ellie.
"I'll let you out. I don't know how, but I will." Ellie clutched the pendant and held it to her heart, resting it by her own pendant.
