36- What Have You Done

The only viable option at this point was to stop Anna's mad experiments before it would be too late, and it had to be done right there and at those very moments.

"Anna, as the Queen of Arendelle I command you to halt all development and research in regard of this AV-137 substance" Elsa whispered, wishing to the very Heavens that nobody else would be listening somewhere as she spoke such unbelievably alarming words- "I order as well that you take that Thing in secret to the mountains, so it can be detonated safely very far from Arendelle Town..."

"Oh well, about that" Anna replied, and the princess looked outside through a nearby window as she tried to find just the right words to speak her mind- "Elsa, what have the mountains done to all of us? You know, we cannot blow them up just like that! Also, what you have just suggested would not be safe for Arendelle anyway..."

Elsa just could not believe that this was happening for real, Anna had really gone too far this time and that Thing between her hands was looking more and more sinister with every second that passed...

"Fine!" Elsa screamed, trying with all of her might to remain in control of herself- "That awful Thing of yours is to be carried by ship all the way to the middle of the freaking North Atlantic, and we can detonate it there!"

"Oh well, about that..."

"Anna, what have you done?!"

"Elsa, please calm down" Anna answered in a low and sweet voice, and at those moments she decided to place the dreadful Thing on a nearby wooden table while she talked to her extremely worried sister- "I know that my creation seems all dark and eerie right now, but AV-137 is very stable and I promise that everything is going to be alright!"

The shaken Queen of Arendelle enjoyed all of that sweet personal contact, care and warmth of Anna as they shared a sisterly hug in the relative darkness of the royal studio, Elsa came to realize once again just how much she needed and loved her little sister and at least for a moment it seemed that everything was fine.

Anna would never cause any intentional harm to Elsa and Arendelle, her chemical inventions had actually just saved the entire Kingdom from a sure defeat in the recent war and yet that Thing continued to give Elsa the worst and coldest shivers that she had ever experienced...

What was happening here? Could it be just a coincidence that all of Arendelle had started to pray on the very same night that the existence of the Thing had been revealed? What was AV-137 exactly, after all?

"Anna, I know that you just want to defend Arendelle" Elsa whispered, now staring into the cold eyes of her sister as she spoke those sad words- "However, now you have created a weapon of unspeakable power... It is my command as your Queen that you shall keep this weapon a secret from everyone else, the Thing must remain concealed at any cost and you are to develop AV-137 as some kind of safer design."

"As you wish, my Queen..."

Anna just grabbed her secret weapon once again, turned around as she flashed an intriguing smile at her sister and abandoned the Queen's beautiful studio without speaking another word.

That was all for that night, Anna would be allowed to continue her research and now Arendelle was facing the existence of a weapon of unknown potential, mysterious origins and a power so unspeakable that it was a threat to every single life in the world.

"Anna, I just hope that you actually know what you are doing with that substance" Elsa whispered, trying very hard not to think of her sister walking between all those candles and torches with that bomb between her hands- This time, you have really gone too far..."

The sound of those fast and rather light steps of Anna slowly disappeared as the princess and her weapon vanished in the distance on their way to the secret lab upstairs, the wind cried and howled outside and the lonely Elsa had never felt so sad and scared in her life...
