Kristoff

"We have got to stop Matthew." I declared, standing up. Elsa got up as well. She nodded in agreement, then got distracted by something on a nearby shelf.

"Do you have a plan?" Quinnzelle asked.

"Not yet. However, I think we should go back to the trolls and see what they suggest." That was the best I got. Lame, Kris, very lame.

"Fine. How will we get out of these restraints?"

"Easy," Elsa said from by the shelf, "use the keys."

"Keys? You found keys?" I was astonished. She held up a pair of ice-made keys.

"Ella must have been here at some point." Elsa tossed me one of the keys. I made quick work of my lock and moved to help Quinnzelle.

"Leave me. I have an idea. Go to your trolls, then come back here."

"Well, alright. Come on, Elsa." The two of us exited the cabin and began down a path. We really had no idea where we were going, but we kept straight best we could. Finally, we found some footprints; feminine, small, too small to be an adult's. "Do you think Ella came this way?"

"Maybe. Otherwise, it's probably an ice harvester's or lumberman's daughter. If we follow them, it could lead to allies, or foes. No way of knowing." Elsa speculated. I got down on the ground to examine the tracks. I didn't get very far before a cage made of ice fell, trapping us.

"Good work, Ella. It sounds like you've caught some guards." A familiar voice said. It was Pabbie! "Now, let's see if we can't make them pay for... Kristoff? Elsa?" He had waddled out of hiding, Ella close behind, and was shocked to see us in their snare.

"Hello, Grandpabbie. Nice to see you under... Slightly better circumstances." I said. "Would you mind...?"

"Oh, right!" Ella quickly disintegrated the cage. Soon as we were free, Ella nearly knocked her mother over with a hug. "You found the keys! You're okay!"

"We're okay, dear." Elsa said, holding her daughter close. She planted a small kiss on Ella's forehead "You did an amazing job with the keys, and even this trap. Such a smart girl."

"Oh, and uncle Kristoff, we have a big surprise for you!" Ella ran over to me. I picked her up, hugging her.

"Well, it's really a surprise for both of you." Pabbie clarified. I set Ella down and she grabbed my hand. She took hold of Elsa's hand as well, and led us towards Troll Valley. Once we arrived, and greeted everyone else, Pabbie led us to a secluded cave in the back of the valley. "We've discovered a way to fix whole mess."

"How so?" Elsa asked.

"Well, you remember when I erased Anna's memory of your powers, correct?" Elsa shuddered. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder. "Well, we have found a way to erase and manipulate certain aspects of a timeline. Anything within the past few years, we can fix."

"So we could bring everyone back and erase Matthew's reign?" I was hopeful. He shook his head.

"We cannot bring anyone over the age of ten back to life and erase an entire king's reign. It would take too much power and destroy the timeline altogether." Both Elsa and I deflated slightly. "I can propose this, we can change things so that Matthew is a good man, and he has always been a great king. The two of you would end up in England, raising Ella and Alice."

"Wait, you could bring Alice back!?" I was now all for this plan. He smiled and nodded.

"Course, she wouldn't remember this. Actually, nobody would, except possibly you. You'd never have switched bodies, never set off an eternal winter, and never even heard of Hans or Matthias. Even Nathan could possibly be brought back."

"But what about Anna and Adam?" Elsa asked. Pabbie hung his head.

"They would never exist. I can't bring them back, it would be too much. I'm sorry, Elsa." She sighed and nodded, tears beginning to form. I squeezed her shoulders, which I still had my arm around. "So, do you want to go through with this? A totally new life, or would you like to fight Matthew, and risk your lives, and the lives of the townspeople?"

"Well..." Elsa and I exchanged glances. We looked down at Ella, who had remained silent this entire time. I thought about my daughter and my son. Both could be brought back to me. At the same time, I was worried about Elsa. Would we know each other in a new timeline? Would she be raising Ella alone? I didn't want that. I was torn by the good and the unknown. I couldn't finish my thought. Fortunately, or unfortunately, Elsa finished my sentence for me. She was confident, though she tried to chase the doubt out of her voice. She looked determined.

"Alright. Let's do this."
