Her teeth were chattering and her face was numb.
The cold, or the fear. she didn't know. She didn't know anything anymore.
The man with the desperate intention to kill her and her friend was the brother of their newest ally?! It was almost unbelievable, but after everything she had been through, she would believe anything.
Hannah crouched next to Jess who still lay on the ground, unable to gather the strength to stand.
Benji looked unsure as he stood in a protective position in front of everyone.
As if in slow motion, A great sound echoed off the walls of the rock valley from Sir Garth's verbal command: "KILL THEM."
All at once, five hundred men on horseback charged mercilessly towards the group.
Hannah screamed, fear in her eyes, and attempted to pull Jess to safety by grabbing onto her shoulders and dragging her out of harm's way.
Benji, as though reflex, rubbed his hands together sharply, then threw them up into the open air, shouting a foreign incantation of sorts; a broken language.
He scrunched down with the struggling girls on the ground, placing his hands on their's.
"Come mere' hurry!" He shouted to Elsa, Anna, and Kristoff.
The others quickly joined the small circle, and in an instant flash of extraordinary light, they were gone from the rock troll valley.
"NOOOO!" Garth belted, his gravely voice cracking, "THEY ESCAPED YOU FOOLS!."
A young Arendelle soldier stepped forward to approach his new commander.
"Sir Garth where has Queen Elsa gone?"
Garth turned to address his men.
"I'll tell you where she's gone. Your so called Queen has just joined forces with my imbecile brother, and he transported them away. They are now aiding the girls in escaping. Your Queen, is helping the imbalance in our universe SURVIVE!"
There were murmurs amongst the crowd of men.
Garth began to raise his voice with fury.
"Queen Elsa and Princess Anna have turned their backs on you, so you must now join me if you want any chance of saving this world!"
Cheers erupted from the electrified Cattarri soldiers as they followed Sir Garth of Cattarri out of the troll valley. The Arendelle army didn't seem as convinced, but followed regardless.
"They couldn't of gotten far, Benji's powers are weakened from such close proximity to the imbalance. Let's split up to search." Garth announced to his army.
Pain. In fact, a lot pain.
Hannah shifted as best she could on the ground as she began to come to.
Her whole body felt as though she had been running a marathon until she physically collapsed, smashing into the ground with great impact. Every muscle and bone ached with a pulsating interval.
She couldn't bring herself to lift her head just yet, either due to the pulsing ache or the fact that she could see a puddle of blood growing larger by the minute.
"Is everybody ok?" Benji said as jumped from person to person to help them up.
Hannah whimpered slightly to try and alert someone of her state of injury.
A fearful gasp sounded behind her, and within seconds she was being gently rolled onto her back by Elsa.
The queen held her in her arms, cradling Hannah's head to stop the bleeding from her forehead.
Hannah did not dare shed a single tear in the presence of Elsa. She would have never dreamed in a million years that this would be her. She could have had an anxiety attack right then and there, if it wasn't for the sudden sensation of a million cold swords being jabbed into her skull.
Elsa frantically shushed Hannah's screams as she froze over the gash of her wound to stop the outpouring of blood.
"I'm sorry sweetheart, I have to stop the bleeding." Elsa said soothingly.
"HANNAH!" Jess screamed as she began to come to herself, noticing her friend.
Jess was able to stand up carefully, and limped over to where Hannah was laying.
She slumped down on the ground next to Elsa and Hannah and turned to address Benji.
"Did we really have to do that, I mean, couldn't we have just hopped on Sven or something."
"I'm sorry everyone, but we don't have much time. We had to get away quickly, if we wanted to make contact." Benji said.
"Contact? With whom?" Elsa asked, trying to dab the red stains off Hannah's head with her cape.
The wielder spoke with purpose. "There is a possibility that the girls can get home." This caught everyone's full attention.
"I believe if, on the exact moment the wishing star is activated, there is a wish so strong, it could just be enough to pull them back to the other side. It's real risky, though. We only have one chance to complete this endeavor before the universe's time runs out."
Benji looked around to make sure they weren't being watched. "The wish will be stronger if we have someone, or many people if possible, from the other universe to help. Everyone will picture the desire to have the girls come home upon the wishing star's activation, and it might be just enough. But, timing is everything."
"If we're successful, the girls will transport back to the place they left from, and our world will be saved." Benji finished his plan.
Anna turned to Jess. "Is there someone that help us from your world?"
Jess didn't have to think for very long.
"Our friend Yvonne. She'll be able to help us. We all love Frozen and I'm sure she'd have no problem wishing for us to come back." She smiled.
Hannah began to regain her movements and sat up with a hand from Elsa.
She grinned big, having an absolutely brilliant idea.
"What if we have the whole fandom wish with us?!" Hannah blurted out excitedly.
Jess gasped, her eyes wide. " OH MY GOD YES YES YES! That would be perfect, and strong enough for sure! The power of the whole fandom working together is basically unstoppable."
"What's a fandom?" Anna asked innocently.
Both girls started laughing in-spite of themselves.
Hannah began, "Remember that group that idolizes you we talked about? Yeah, that's the fandom. It's pretty much a golden plan."
The pieces were all coming together. They could go home, they were going HOME.
At the same time, though, the feeling of wanting to stay came crashing through Hannah's thoughts once again.
She couldn't help but notice she was still in Elsa's arms.
Hannah had always loved them like they were family, spending endless nights in utter despair, trying to block out the fact they weren't real beings. They couldn't breathe or see or feel or love or hate, or even think.
But now. This was Real. She couldn't imagine a world without them now that she knew the truth, and she knew it could never go back to the way it was before. How could she live with this? How was she expected to just go through her daily schedule after all that's happened?
Hannah pushed it down, as she did most of these frivolous ideas. There was a real problem at hand, besides her stupid feelings. That's what got her into this mess.
Benji spoke again rubbing his palms together. "Alright then, we have no time to waste. I can make contact for only about ten minutes or less so make it snappy."
"Wait what are we supposed to do?!" Jess asked frantically.
"No time for hesitation girls get ready." Benji said as light began to wrap around the girls.
Hannah and Jess screamed as they were once again transported somewhere. Although it was different this time.
Their actual bodies weren't sent over, just the embodiment of them in a way.
All of a sudden Hannah found herself alone with Jess in a strange bedroom. It was modern looking, not like the one she had slept in last night in the castle.
She looked down at herself frightened. Her body was visually pale blue and transparent; a hologram of sorts. Jess stood next to her just as stumped.
"Oh my god Hannah, what the hell!? What the HELL?!" Jess screamed.
Then she noticed someone and gasped. "Yvonne?!"
A girl sat wide eyed on a bunk bed, in utter disbelief.
"JESS? HANNAH?!" Yvonne yelled, barely blinking. "How are you here, how did you get here, why are you blue?!"
The girl walked over and attempted to touch Hannah's shoulder, but her hand went straight through her body, as if she was a ghost.
Everyone gasped in unison.
"Look we don't have much time here. Yvonne, believe it or not we are stuck in Frozen, in Arendelle." Hannah said promptly, as if it was the most normal statement ever said.
She almost regretted saying it, judging by the look on Yvonne's face.
Jess picked up where she left off. "Our presence in Elsa and Anna's world is destroying it. The only way for us to get home is if we activate a universal power called the wishing star. We need your help to do it though. Just me and Hannah alone is not strong enough a wish to transport us both back."
"Of course I want to help! But what do I have to do?" Yvonne asked, exhilarated by the mission she was taking place in.
Hannah's eyes grew wide as her form began to flicker in and out of Yvonne's bedroom.
"WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME! QUICKLY JESS!"
"Ahhhh ok, ok. Yvonne, to make sure our wish is strong enough, you need to recruit the whole fandom. As many as you can get! Use my Instagram or any social media you can to reach them. Tell them about our situation, and tell them in three weeks at three in the morning, to wish together as one. As hard as they can muster, so we can get home." Jess sputtered out.
"Wait, What if they don't believe me!?" Yvonne yelled as their flickering existences became stronger.
"Quick, take a picture of us to send to them! Make sure no one else sees it though." Hannah suggested.
"Oh yeah good idea!" Yvonne said desperately grabbing her phone and holding it up.
"Ok got it!" Yvonne smiled triumphantly.
"Wait I think my eyes were closed." Jess said jokingly.
"I actually thought you were serious for a minute." Said Hannah rolling her own eyes, as they both disappeared completely from the room in which they once stood.
Hannah woke with a jolt in her previous place entwined in Elsa's arms. She looked down concerned for Hannah.
"What happened did you see your friend?" Elsa asked.
Hannah smiled, slightly out of breath. "Yeah. It's done. All we can do now is hope to God it works."
Hannah looked over at Jess who laughed with relief.
Benji, on the other hand, was laying unconscious on the ground, completely drained of power.
"Benji!" Hannah yelled upon sight of him.
Kristoff lifted the man onto his sled in the back, propping his head up with a sleeping bag.
"So, ahem, what now?" Kristoff asked the others.
"We can't risk going back to the castle, I'm sure Garth has men there waiting for us." Anna speculated.
"Besides my people and my soldiers have most likely turned on me, for 'betraying them'. It falls right into Sir Garth's plan, I'm sure. The kingdom of Cattarri has always wanted to overthrow my reign." Elsa said, a strained tone to her voice.
"I bet that's not true Elsa. They wouldn't turn on you like that. They love you as their queen." Anna replied putting her arm around Elsa.
Before Elsa could reply, the sound of hooves pounded once again off in the distance.
"We have to go NOW!" Kristoff yelled.
They ran all ran to the sled, barely sitting down before Sven started off.
They skidded away quickly, although the army was catching up to them.
Hannah didn't even have time to turn her head before she heard a bloodcurdling shriek behind her.
Her heart rate quickened to the speed of light, she felt like she was going to throw up or pass out.
She witnessed Elsa, doubling over in painful agony, as everyone just stared in shock at the long arrow that was now lodged in poor Elsa's shoulder.
