Anna woke up scared, she was sweating and shivering and her face was wet with tears, it was just a nightmare, she tried to calm down, little time passed when Elsa knocked on the door.
"Anna?" Elsa asked worriedly. "You are ok?"
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine." the princess lied, in fact she was scared.
Not convinced with the answer, Elsa entered the princess's room. Seeing that her sister didn't look well, Elsa asked
"What is it? You know you don't have to hide anything from me."
"I know ... it's just that I don't want to be a nuisance and worry you about useless things."
"Anna, what are you talking about, you are not a nuisance and you never will be." the queen replied and sat next to her sister on the bed. "Now are you going to tell me what happened?"
"It's nothing ... I just had a nightmare but it's over."
"Do you want to talk about it?" Elsa asked wanting to comfort her sister. "It will be better if you open up to someone."
Anna remained silent for a while, but she started.
"I was alone and lost somewhere unknown, I started calling out to you and Kristoff, but it seemed like no one was around ..."
Seeing that her sister was apprehensive to continue, Elsa squeezed Anna's hand slightly, wanting to give comfort.
"That's when I looked at my hands." she continued. "And they were turning to ice again, I was turning to ice! I started screaming for help, but nothing came out, no voice came out of my throat ... then he appeared." Anna closed her eyes tightly because of the memory.
She remembered very well the pain of being frozen, the ice taking over every ounce of her body, and the psychological pain that man caused her when he revealed himself to be a traitor.
"Who is he?" Elsa asked.
"Hans." Anna replied "He said that nobody loved me and that I was going to die alone without anyone."
A tear streamed down the princess's face as she remembered the painful memory of that heartless prince.
"Anna, you know it's not true, and besides, Hans is under arrest, he can't do anything bad to anyone, ever again."
"Yes, it just felt so real."
Elsa approached her sister and gave her a hug and whispered
"Don't worry Anna, it was just a nightmare, I'm with you now."
Anna gave her a smile, she was lucky to have a sister like Elsa.
"I'm never going to let anything happen to you, and even though I'm still a little careful with Kristoff, I see that he wouldn't let you get hurt, either." Elsa said giving a wink to her sister. "And if he does anything bad for you, he'll have to answer to me."
"You don't have to be careful with Kristoff, I trust him."
"If you say so, but as your big sister I can't totally trust him, not yet, not after what happened to the last one ..."
"And I can't blame you for that, but you will trust him one day, you will see, you will be great friends in the future." said Anna cheerfully, but she remembered the nightmare and lost the smile on her face.
"Can you sleep here tonight?" The princess asked.
"Sure, why not."
And so the two slept next to each other, without any more nightmares that night, it seemed that everything was fine for the sisters, after a long time apart, they could now finally be in each other's pleasant company, without having to worry about anything more.

"So this is Arendelle." Haaken thought to himself. "Is the queen as beautiful as the kingdom?"
He was apprehensive just thinking about it, so he headed towards a tavern the only place that was open at that time of night. He tied the horse outside and when the few men inside were looking at him.
"What will you want, friend?" Asked the bartender.
"Just something to drink, please," he said, sitting down on a chair in front of the counter.
"You're not from here, are you?" Asked a blond man who was sitting next to him.
"In truth no." Haaken had to make up a lie, as he was going to stay in the city and couldn't tell the real reason. "I'm going to be here for a while, I need a job."
"You can call me if you want help with that." the man said.
"Actually, I would like to have someone to help me," replied Haaken.
"Great, tomorrow I'm going to the castle to see my girlfriend, come with me maybe they need someone there."
"Does your girlfriend work at the castle?"
"Haha not really, she is the princess."
Hearing this, Haaken's eyes widened.
"My name is Kristoff by the way," said Kristoff, extending his hand.
"Haaken." he said shaking his hand
"Then I'll see you tomorrow, Haaken." Kristoff said paying the bartender and getting up to leave.
"See you tomorrow," Hakken replied. "This may be easier than I thought." he thought, taking a sip of his beer.
Soon Haaken would be inside Arendelle's castle taking the next step to get King Soren's plan to work, and he was willing to do everything he could to not disappoint his kingdom.
