"Fade to White"
"Kristoff, you can't just accuse someone of regicide!" Anna cried when he imparted his story to her. "I can't believe you did that!" She sounded incredulous, but she still laughed. They walked through the hallway toward Elsa's room with Olaf. "Poor Weselton! He might be a jerk, but he didn't deserve that!"
"Don't tell me you thought he was innocent!" Kristoff argued.
"It doesn't matter what I think. If we don't know he committed a crime we can't just accuse him of one," Anna said. "I guess I'll have to smooth that over later. I just hope that it doesn't involve more Jenny Cheddar." Anna wrinkled her face at the idea of eating the cheese. The trio reached Elsa's room, and Anna knocked familiarly.
"Come in," Gerda called. Anna looked at Kristoff in surprise and the three went in.
"Gerda?" Anna asked in surprise.
"Oh, Your Highness," Gerda acknowledged.
"Gerda, hasn't Elsa woken up yet?" Anna looked down at Elsa's pale, supine form. Gerda shook her head.
"She hasn't. She hasn't had any more seizures since you left earlier today, Highness, but she also hasn't woken since we spoke this afternoon, and she isn't responding when we try to wake her. Dr. Rosted is on his way here to try to wake her right now." Gerda reported tiredly. She placed a cool, damp rag on Elsa's forehead. A sharp rap at the door sounded.
"Come in," Anna said, and Dr. Rosted entered with his bag. "Doctor, Elsa isn't waking up," Anna told him.
"Gerda told me, Your Highness," Dr. Rosted said. He went over to Elsa and took a pulse from her wrist carefully. He reached into his bag and took out a small bottle labeled 'smelling salts,' opened it, and put it in front of Elsa's nose. She didn't stir. The group sat in silence for a moment.
"Now what?" Olaf asked. Anna helped him get onto Elsa's bed so he could see better, and he stroked her arm gently.
"The Valley of the Living Rock," Anna said suddenly and she stood up straight.
"What?" Everyone looked at her in confusion.
"The Valley of the Living Rock! We've got to take Elsa to see the trolls! I can leave a steward in charge of the castle. Kristoff, go get Sven hooked up to the wagon, and I'll get Elsa ready for travel," Anna said excitedly. Olaf smiled widely and nodded. Kristoff nodded and leaned in to give his girlfriend a quick peck on the cheek.
"Come on, Olaf! Let's go get Sven hooked up to the wagon." Kristoff helped the small snowman get off the bed, and then the two left.
"Gerda," Anna said, "Help me to get Elsa ready to travel. Dr. Rosted, is there anything we need to consider when traveling with her?" she asked. Dr. Rosted was still examining her sister.
"Her fever is still very high. You need to keep her cool, and if you can wake her then she needs to take liquids," Dr. Rosted said as he packed his bag to go. Anna nodded, and he left the room.
"Gerda, get her a traveling outfit," Anna said.
"Yes, Your Highness," Gerda said, and she walked over to Elsa's wardrobe to retrieve an outfit for the Queen. Anna moved to help Gerda when a knock came at the door.
"Come in," Anna called and Kai rushed into the room breathlessly.
"Your Highness, the Captain of the Guard has just reported there are three ships headed this way – and they're sailing war flags!" Kai said. Anna blanched and looked down at Elsa momentarily. "Your Highness, what should we do?" Kai asked.
"I – I…" Anna trailed off and her eyes got wider and wider.
"Your Highness?" Kai urged, and Anna tried to quell her growing panic.
"Have the Captain of the Guard gather the soldiers and prepare them for battle. We also need the cannons readied and the townspeople alerted. Call an emergency meeting with Elsa's council." Anna ordered with determination. Kai nodded and exited the room, and Anna brimmed over with tears while staring down at her sister. "Oh, Elsa," Anna said, "You'd know just what to do in this situation." Gerda came up behind Anna and put a gentle hand on her shoulder.
"Your Highness, we have to prepare the Queen for the journey," Gerda said.
"You're right. Gerda, you have to get her ready. I have to prepare Arendelle and the castle for war." Anna stated. "Kristoff will be back for Elsa soon." Anna then left Elsa's room and headed to meet the council, swallowing her panic as she went.
