Elsa formed a platform out of ice by the steps to the castle. Kristoff lay Anna down carefully. As he stepped away from her body, his hand lingered on her wrist.
"How do you know this will work?" Kristoff asked as he forced himself to fully move away from her. His eyes never left Anna's face.
Elsa took off her coat and handed it to Kristoff "If I can create life, maybe I can bring one back". She rolled up the sleeves on her nightgown.
What happened next was a part of Elsa that Kristoff had never seen before. He hands were outstretched over the length of Anna's body and what spilled out of them was a flurry of light and icy powder. A ring of snow started encircling the sisters, Elsa's dress and hair whipped around her as she closed her eyes in desperate concentration. Kristoff could hardly see what was happening beside the strobing image of Elsa and Anna's body. Elsa's magic entered her body and she glowed from the inside out with an eerie blue-white light. He could've sworn he actually saw Anna start to float above the platform.
There was the echo of a song, it didn't sound like Elsa's voice but it came from her. A call, a plea, a promise. It sounded like hope.
And suddenly it stopped.
The swirling ice fell, sparkling against the rising sun. Elsa stood static with only the breeze through her hair and dress. Slowly, she lowered her hands and stepped closer to Anna. Kristoff made the distance in two strides. He instantly took her hand. It felt cold, but his heart was beating so hard that he couldn't focus on finding her pulse.
"Anna?" Elsa whispered. She was slightly shaking from the force of her powers. Elsa stroked the hair away from her face and leaned over her little sister.
Anna's eyes opened.
