Me: Hey guys! So sorry for the long wait. Been busy with college and working on my Final Film and Animation Projects, which I did good on, to let you guys know, but I'm back now and ready to finish this. So here we go!

Paul: Well you sound pretty excited Cece

Me: GAH! Paul! I really need to keep a bell on you!

Paul: *chuckle*

Me: I thought you were gone?!

Paul: No, I decided to stay with you

Me: Really? Think you can handle it?

Paul: Well all you are doing is reading so I can't possibly get injured or die from you doing that can I?

Me: Hey!

Paul: *chuckles again*

Me: Oh before we go to the chapter, I have to tell you guys something. This is the Elsa with the sprained leg alright? Well to clear it up more, let me say this. The Elsa that Anna is with now in this current moment is the alternate one while the Elsa the still in Arendelle looking for Anna with sprain leg. Got that? Alright, here we go! :D

Sometimes, you have to tell a lie in order to get some unexpected help

CHAPTER 9: He Told Me He Vanquished The Snow Queen! Wait. What?!

"Where am I and why is it so dark?" Elsa wondered to herself. Not a second later, Elsa heard two voices joined in.

"Will she be okay?"

"Oh yeah. She should be fine and if not, you can purchase something from our department."

"Who is that?" Elsa asked herself. The voices were very distant but Elsa could faintly hear them. She tries to wake herself up but to no avail.

"How will that help her again?"

"It won't."

"Then why suggest it?!"

"Look. Business is slow alright? I need to provide for my family! Cut me some slack. Huh? That could be my new slogan, ya!"

"You can't be serious right now"

"One of those voices sound familiar, but where have I heard it from?" Elsa said to herself.

Suddenly, she felt something wet run up along her cheek. As if something was licking her. Wait. Something was licking her!

On that thought, Elsa's eyes instantly flew open and when she did, she saw a reindeer staring at her with his tongue hanging out. The two stare at each other before they both did the initial thing to do when you see something strange.

"AHHHHHH!"

That's right. Scream.

The reindeer jump backed a few feet away from Elsa whereas Elsa pushed herself against the bed's frame. Suddenly, two figures ran in. One figure went over to the reindeer and gently pulled him back to him."Ahh man! Sven! I told you not to spook her like that!"

Something then just triggered in Elsa's head. 'Wait. Sven? That means..'

Her eyes slowly began to focus and she was able to make out the figure next to Sven. He had blonde hair and wore what the ice harvesters wear.

"Kristoff?"

"Elsa! You're awake!" Kristoff exclaimed as he gave Elsa a hug, which made Elsa gasped slightly because of the shock of him doing that. Kristoff quickly pulled back, concern displayed on his face as he looked at Elsa. "I'm sorry, did I hurt you?" He asked. Elsa just shook her head.

"No, you didn't but wh-what happened?" Elsa asked in a daze.

"Sven and I spotted you unconscious and cold-well, you wouldn't know because you're used to being cold- I mean not like that but y-you know what I mean and we brought you here! I know we should take you to the Castle but I felt that this place will help us. Sorry" Kristoff finally finished as he rubbed his head, looking at Elsa.

Elsa just shook her head and a slight smile. His awkward babbling reminds her of why Anna loves this guy. Those two are exactly the same.

Elsa frowned internally at the thought.

Oh, Anna.

"No...It's fine." Elsa said kindly. She then noticed the other guy standing next to him with a tiny smile. "Who's this?" She asked pointing to the guy. Kristoff looked over his shoulder to see who she was talking about. "Oh! His name is.."

"Oaken!" Oaken said proudly. He then put a hand on Kristoff's shoulder and said "And this guy here told me he vanquished the Snow Queen, ya"

Elsa appeared to be confused by what Oaken said. "Wait. What?"

Sensing that this could go in an alternate direction, Kristoff nervously chuckles as he came up with an excuse to get Oaken out of here. "Um. Hey Oaken? Can you find us some supplies that will be useful for us to have?" Oaken nodded his head. "Of course! I'll be right back ya!" He then exited out the room. Elsa and Kristoff both waited a few moments before talking.

"Vanquished the Snow Queen? Really Kristoff?" Elsa finally said with her arms folded across her chest. Kristoff instantly went red! "I-It's not like that! W-Well um you see I uh um" He stammered out as he rubbed the back of his head with one of his hands. Elsa raised her eyebrow up as Kristoff tries to explain. "I had to say that to earn his respect back. You see, he and I kinda um got off on the wrong foot and he banned me from here and on the same day, I met Anna" Elsa couldn't help but smile when she heard Anna's name. "Anna.." Suddenly, the realization hit her! "Anna!" She exclaimed loudly as she quickly jumped out of the bed but instantly regretted it once her foot with the sprained ankle touches the floor! "AH!" She hissed out as she sat back down on the bed. Kristoff was shocked by Elsa's reaction. He quickly went over to Elsa to help her up into a sitting position. "Elsa?! What's wrong?!"

"I have to find Anna" Elsa stated to him.

"What? You guys are playing hide and seek?" Kristoff playfully joked.

"I wish, but Kristoff, I need to find her!"

Knowing how overprotective Elsa gets when it comes to Anna, Kristoff did his best to reassure her "she will be fine Elsa, this is Anna we are talking about"

Elsa shook her head with wild and pleading eyes. She then grips tightly on to Kristoff's outfit, which made Kristoff become very concern. "No Kristoff. You don't understand. She's in trouble, I know it! She ran toward the mountain!"

Kristoff's eyes widen! "Wait. She did what?!"

"You heard me, Kristoff. Now, I have to go, she needs me" Elsa said as she got up but slowly this time. Still, no matter what movement she made, her sprain ankle still made itself known to her. Elsa grimaces a little and Kristoff quickly noticed this and acts upon it. Easing Elsa back down, he said to her, reassuringly. "Look, Elsa, I want to find Anna as much as you do but you can't do anything with that bad ankle, just rest for a while then we will go out and find her"

"But-" Elsa started desperately but Kristoff shook his head. "Trust me Elsa and besides you are hurt already so just take it easy okay?"

Seeing there was no point of arguing any further, Elsa let it go. "Fine" She pouted and Kristoff laughed. "You and Anna are so alike. I'll see you in a couple" He then walked out of the room along with Sven. As he closed the door, Kristoff couldn't help but feel concern. Never had Elsa done something like this to him. This was very unlike her Queenly behavior. But at that moment, he didn't see a Queen. No. In fact, he couldn't help but seeing a worried child, looking for her baby sister. Something was wrong for sure and he will ask Elsa about it later. Looking down, he saw Sven give him an equal look of concern

Elsa watched the door for a bit before laying back down on the bed, her eyes slowly closing again.

Later on that evening, Elsa opened her eyes and sat up quietly but quickly from the bed. She held out her hand and concentrated on it quickly.

'Come on! Come on!'

Long behold, an ice crutch was made. Elsa then taps the ice crutch on the ground, testing its sturdiness. Once she felt it was sturdy enough, she slowly stands up, careful to not have her foot with the bad ankle touch the floor, and shifted her weight onto the crutch. The action After regaining her footing, Elsa slowly made her way out of the room. Once she was out, Elsa quickly noticed that Oaken was sleeping on the counter, snoring. Elsa was careful to make no sudden movements that will wake him up. After quietly getting passed him, Elsa opened the door and slipped out. Shutting the door gently, Elsa took a deep breath. She has no clue where to find Anna but she knows that she will not easily give up on finding her. "Okay, Elsa think. Where will Anna mostly head to? What place will she choose to cool off at?" Elsa asked herself. Elsa then put the two together. "Wait a minute. Mostly head to? A place to cool off? My Ice Palace of course!" She said quietly. Elsa then toward the direction where her Ice Palace is located at. Dread quickly fell upon her.

"Just hang on Anna, I'm coming" She stated as she limps off towards that direction.

Kristoff watched Elsa limp off quietly off in the distance as he shook his head in disappointment.

"I have to go after her!" Kristoff stated out loud as he made his way towards the door.

Sven heard this and quickly jump right in his way! Kristoff was surprised by Sven's action, to be honest.

"Sven. I have to go after her. She can get hurt!" Kristoff said to Sven, warningly as he tried to push Sven out of the way but Sven started grunting and snorting rapidly at Kristoff!

"I already know that she's hurt but that's not the case! Anna will have my head if I don't stop her!" Kristoff argued back as he tried to push Sven out of the way but Sven refused to budge. This made Kristoff become furious! "Sven! Let me go!"

Sven snorted harshly and lashed out at him, making Kristoff flinched and his eyes widen!

"Sven!" Kristoff gasped out. "You never did that to me before?! What is wrong with you?! Why are you not letting me go after her?!" Kristoff glared at him, harshly.

Sven grunted and snorted out his explanation. After a while of snorting and grunting, Kristoff's glare began to fade and his face soften. "So you're telling me that I should let Elsa go find Anna on her own because you feel that there's some personal problem that is revolving around the two and it will be best if no one is there with them when they talk?" Kristoff said to Sven, seeing if what Sven saying was correct. Sven nodded his head. Kristoff smiled at his accomplishment. "Well, why didn't you say anything? That makes a whole lot of sense"

Sven grunted and kicked Kristoff hard to the ground! "Oww!" Kristoff said as he rubs his bottom. Sven threw his head as he laughed

"Yeah yeah laugh it up!" Kristoff grimaces as he got back up and sticks his tongue at Sven before making a snowball and throwing it at him. Sven then falls dramatically to the ground, acting as if he's been shot. Kristoff couldn't help but let out a small chuckle before turning back to look at the mountain.

His smile fades as he says "Please be safe you two"
