Heads up guys! This chapter will strictly focus on Anna and Kristoff. Enjoy and let me know what you think!
November 1st, 1842
Anna had been walking up the rocky volcanic mountain for a whole day. It was already night time and she was exhausted, dehydrated and hungry. There were strange noises of animals that were causing her to worry. She ate all the food the had packed and was left with nothing. She enters a entrance that would lead her through the volcano mountain to the other side but there was a dead end, no way out, she was stuck and the loneliness, fear and exhaustion caught up to her as she begins to breathe heavily. While hugging her arms she decides to sit and lay her back on a big boulder. She begins to cry. She tried to remain as hopeful as she could but seeing that she was in the middle of nowhere with no one around her had created hopelessness.
"Oh Elsa ... I miss you so much .." tears fell down her face. She starts to remember Kristoff as well. How she wished she could just run to his arms and hold him like she used to. Anna had given up. She accepted her fate and waited for her to starve to death or be attacked by a wild animal. She looks up to the night sky, the stars were out. She closes her eyes and begins to remember the fun times she had with her sister. The times when they were children and how they couldn't control their laughter while dining with their parents and guests. The times they would chase each other around the castle, how they would stay up all night laughing and talking and eating chocolates when they weren't supposed to.
More tears fell down her cheeks as she started to remember the last two years of her and Elsa and how they restablished their relationship. How they learned new things about each other, their hobbies, their interests, their taste in men and their pet peeves. She remembered how heartwarming it was to distract or make Elsa laugh when she's trying to be serious or do her daily Queen errands. She missed everything about her sister. The sister who she loved her whole life and was finally back in her life would never be with her again. And with all the pain she felt in this moment only allowed her to sing the words of song she sang everyday to her sister growing up.
Do you want to build a snowman...
Come on, let's go and play...
I miss your presence so very much
I feel so lost without you
It's like you've gone away
I feel so very lonely
So helpless and sad
What am I gonna do?
Do you wanna build a snowman?
And as Anna finished singing the song to herself she began to sob uncontrollably as she hugged her arms crying for her beloved sister.
Kristoff, Sven and the herd of reindeers had been searching for Anna all day with no luck whatsoever. Kristoff became worried. He knew that when daylight comes Anna would could possibly not be alive. He commands Sven to stop walking, he jumps of Sven and walks towards a a pile of leaves and sits down with his head hung low in disappointment. Sven walks over and sits next Kristoff comforting him.
"I failed Anna Sven. I let her down." Says Kristoff as he continues to looks down like he's blaming himself. "I should have gotten to her sooner and I should have thrown Hans off the ship when I had the chance. If it weren't for him we wouldn't be in this mess." Kristoff was heart broken that the only girl he'd ever come to love was now gone from his life. As he continued to blame himself something caught the corner of his eye. Just up the hill to his left he saw a bright red speck traveling across the mountains. He quickly stands up confused but then realizes what it could be. "Fire ... Sven Fire!" The speck of fire was far and moving away from Sven. Someone was obviously walking away. Kristoff quickly hops on Svens back and points out to the speck of Fire. "Follow the fire Sven!" Sven and the reindeers begin to run as fast as they can through the mountains to reach the fire before they lose sight of it.
A still small voice is heard. A voice that Anna recognized and missed very deeply. "Anna .." she didn't know where it was coming from but the voice continued to get closer and closer, "Anna .." suddenly brightness begins to overcome her until she sees a figure approach her. It was Elsa, she couldn't see her face but she recognized immediately who it was as she got closer and closer to her. She kneeled down in front of Anna and extended her hand to help her up on her feet. Right as Anna was about to take her hand she wakes up. It was all a dream. A dream that felt so real that she didn't want to wake up. Sadness overcame Anna deeply, but suddenly she realized what the dream meant. That even though she was exhausted and hungry and physically and mentally exhausted she knew she couldn't give up. Because she lost her parents and for 13 years she lost her sister. And she was not going to let her sister lose her.
And just like that, with chapped lips, exhausted body, hunger and dehydration, she gets up on her feet. Anna looks around her. She knew she needed to escape the volcanic mountain to get to the other side, but how? She looks around and realizes the only way she'll get out is by climbing out. She turns around to the tall and big boulder she was laying on, takes a deep breath and begins to climb. With all the strength she had left she climbed, pushing her limits. Her hands started to sweat because she knew she was getting higher and higher the more she climbed. One of her hands slip out of place leaving her to hang on by one hand. Parts of the boulder begin to fall all the way to the ground. Crack! The boulders turn into pieces as they hit the ground. If she were to slip and accidentally let go her fate would be the same as the boulders, nothing but pieces.
"Come on Anna! Climb!" She said to herself as she put her hand back on the boulder. And so Anna continued to climb, all while Kristoff ran with Sven and the reindeers through the dangerous woods trying to catch up to the fire. Both with the same mentality, to not give up. Anna finally reaches the top. She had climbed up to a very high altitude and there in front was another boulder that would lead to up to her freedom. The only way to reach the other boulder was by jumping. She studies the big gap between her and the boulder. It looked like it was about 30 feet away. She looks all the way down to the ground, if her long jump isn't successful that will be the end for her. Just one jump is all she has. Just one.
She backs up slowly as far she can. She tightens the shoulder bag on her to make sure it's secure with her. She shakes her legs, her arms and then the rest of her body. She takes a deep breath to relax her already nervous heart. She closes her eyes and says a small prayer to herself. Her eyes open with determination staring at the other side. She begins to take in all the fear. The fear of losing her sister, her Kristoff and never finding out the truth of her parents. She takes in the fear of falling and dying or worse, being stuck here forever. Anna takes it all in while staring at the other side. She then runs, she runs as fast as she can and jumps. She jumps and sticks her arms out as far as she can that she just barely hangs on to to the tip of the boulder, dangling more than 50 feet in the air. "NNUUHHH UHHHHAA!" Struggles Elsa hanging on to dear life making sure her hands don't let go.
Kristoff and the reindeer approach closer and closer to the fire, "Hey! Stop! Please!" A group of men heard the noise and wondered where it was coming from. They turn around and see a group of reindeer approaching them. They were startled when suddenly Sven stops in front of them causing all the reindeer to stop. The men then realize there's a man on Sven as he quickly jumps off.
"Who— who are you??" Says Johan.
"I am Kristoff from Arandelle. I was in a shipwreck that caused me to land here in this strange island. I need your help please!" Yells Kristoff in despair.
"Wait?? Where you in the same shipwreck as Princess Anna and Queen Elsa??" Says Valdemar.
"Yes! That very one! Have you seen Princess Anna!? Where is she!?" Demands Kristoff.
"Queen Elsa asked us to look for her, we've been looking all day but haven't found her yet." Says Valdemar.
"Wait! What?? You found Elsa!?" Yells Kristoff with shock.
"Actually no her and Hans found the city and are with the king as we speak." Says Johan.
"What!? The city???" Says Kristoff confused also realizing her and Hans were together.
"Well don't you know?? You landed in Iceland." Says a man in the back.
Kristoff turns around to see the woods and nature around him. He had no idea that he landed in Iceland. He quickly turns his head back to the men.
"Please! Help me find Anna." Says Kristoff.
"Of course, anything for Queen Elsa." Says Johan as he steps forward and gives Hans a torch of fire. "We will follow your lead." Says Johan.
"Okay, first we will need to inform Elsa. Can someone run back to the kingdom and let her know of the news??" Says Kristoff.
"I will go." Says Valdemar. Kristoff nods his head agreeing with his volunteer. Valdemar gets on top of Sitron and commands him to go. Sitron and Valdemar speed back to the kingdom.
Anna was still hanging on to dear life hoping she doesn't let go. Her arms and hands were sore and exhausted from all the climbing she did. "AHHHH! Come on Anna!" She yells as she pulls herself up slowly making her way on top of the big boulder. She was using all her upper body strength which made it even harder slowly crawling her way back up. Finally she makes it to the top. She lays on the big boulder breathing heavily trying to catch her breath. The climb and her nervous emotions had exhausted her. She wipes sweat from her forehead with her sleeve as she sits herself up still trying to breathe. She couldn't believe it, she did it. She climbed on top of the giant volcanic mountain.
Suddenly the boulders starts to shake uncontrollably as prices of rocks start to fall. She was in the middle of an earthquake. Terrified she could fall to her death she notices the big boulder begin to crack. She runs to the end of the volcanos wall as she sees everything around her begin to fall and break. Kristoff and the men all fall to the ground as the earth starts to shake uncontrollably. "Earthquake! We're in a earthquake men!" Yells Johan. All the reindeer begin to honk very loudly because the earths rapid movement had terrified them.
Suddenly Anna hears the loud honk. She recognized what kind of animal would make a sound like that. "Sven??" She calls out in dispair. And while the earth shakes uncontrollably he heard her. He heard a small voice that he immediately recognized, he turns to see the volcanic mountain next to him. "Anna!" He says as he looks up on the big volcanic mountain. "She's in there! Let's go!" All the men, Sven and the reindeer begin to run behind Kristoff up the volcanic mountain while dodging all the big rocks rolling towards them. The boulder Anna was standing on was cracking, she knew the boulder would not hold much longer and would eventually collapse. She gets as far back as she can to the volcanos wall and crouches down. There was nothing else she could do except hope that the boulders collapse wouldn't reach her. Kristoff continues to run up the volcanic mountain as fast as he could to reach his love.
He finally reaches the top while all the men and reindeer were still behind him struggling to reach the top. He looks over the big volcanos hole to see where she could be. And sure enough on his right side he sees a girl in orange gown and black down with a purple cape. He knew it was Anna crouching down in fear. "ANNA!" He yells to her. Anna surprised by the voice looks up to see who it was. "KRISTOFF!" She shouts back at her love. "Hang on Anna I'm coming for you!" He runs to where Anna was and stretches his hands towards Anna as she likewise stretcher her hand to Kristoff but they can't reach each other, they were still far apart.
The earths rapid movement made her hang on to the wall. The boulders crack eventually breaks and the boulder she jumped from collapsed into pieces falling to the ground. And now the boulder she was on slowly began to turn into pieces as it was making it's way towards her. Her life began to flash before her eyes, she was only seconds away from falling to her death. Kristoff was panicking as he tried to call her name repeatedly only to see her frozen in place and in a state of shock. He looks around to see where Anna can go only to realize there was nowhere she could possibly go. He hops over the volcanic mountain and hangs on the the edge with one hand dangling in the air.
"ANNA!" He calls for her. Anna snaps out of it and looks up and sees Kristoff hanging on to the edge. "You have to jump!" Anna looks down to see the cracking boulder only seconds away to reaching her feet. Kristoff stretches his left arm to her while hanging on to the edge of the volcanic hole with his other. "Jump Anna! I won't let you fall." The words touched her heart. She knew her love wouldn't ever let her fall in any circumstance. The boulder begins to reach Anna and starts to shake even harder. Anna looks up at Kristoff, takes a deep breath and jumps. Just as she jumps the whole boulder she was standing on completely turns into to pieces falling to the ground. She was in the middle of the air stretching her arms out to Kristoff but is only able to touch his fingers. She missed his hand and begins to fall.
Kristoff let's go of his right hand he was holding on to and falls towards Anna and then grabs Anna's left hand with his and then with his right hand grabs a piece of rock on the wall as they both dangled in mid air holding each other. Anna looks up to see Kristoff struggling and holding her with one arm. "I got you!" Yells Kristoff through his teeth as he looks down on her trying to hang on to the walls edge. Her eyes begin to fill with water. The love of her life kept his promise, he wouldn't let her fall. Kristoffs hands were slipping. Suddenly Sven and the group of men look over the volcanic hole to see Kristoff hanging onto Anna and dangling in the air with just one hand.
"Kristoff! We're here!" Yells Johan. Kristoff looks up and sees them just a few feet above him. His right hand continued to slip. He looks down on Anna and he realized what he had to do, he looks at her and she looks at him and says to her "Anna, I love you so much." Anna knew what those words meant. "No Kristoff don't!!!" She yells at him but it was too late. With all the strength he could he throws Anna up in the air towards the men. Johan and the men catch Anna and pull her forward to safety. She quickly pulls away from them demanding them to let her go and runs back to the volcanic hole looking down at Kristoff. "KRISTOFF!!!" She yells at him with dispair. Kristoff looks up at her and smiles. His hand gives out and he falls. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Yells Anna as she sees Kristoff fall and dissapear into the dusty fog.
Silence filled the air. The earthquake had stopped and everyone stood in shock realizing what just happened. Anna's eyes were still concentrated below where Kristoff had fallen. "Kristoff??" She calls out but no answer was heard. And then it hit her. Her eyes fill with tears as she realizes the man who she so loved was gone. She begins to cry "Kristoff ... no ..." she cries while all the men stood behind her with their heads to the floor in sadness. Sven looks down at the ground in sadness. "No no no ... I can't lose you." continues to cry Anna. It was the first time Kristoff had said the words I love you to Anna, he loved her so much he had given his life for her. "I love you Kristoff .." she cries out with tears falling to the floor as she sobbed. She had admitted it. She loved him too.
Suddenly there came a noise below, and movements of small rocks were heard with heavy footsteps. The men look up and glance over the volcano, Sven begins to waggle with excitement. "You're highness, look!" Says Johan. Anna raises her head up and looks down at the volcanic hole. It's Kristoff, he was climbing up the volcanic wall making his way up to Anna. "Kristoff!??" She yells. Kristoff continues to climb until he finally reaches the top. The men help pull him up to safety. Anna runs to Kristoff and hugs him causing him to fall back while she laid on top of him. She cries on his shoulder embracing him. Kristoff hugs Anna back with love, happy to know he was finally reunited with her. "So you do love me huh?" Says Kristoff jokingly to Anna. Anna takes her head from his shoulder and grabs his face. She kisses him while tears from her face land on his. Anna and Kristoff were finally reunited.
