Anna was curled lazily on her bed, watching the moonbeams on her white nightgown cast shadowy patterns on the fabric. It was past midnight, not a soul- save for the guards in the castle were awake. A sudden chill filled the room, and Anna reached for her blankets. Instead of the soft material meeting her fingertips, a cold chilling mist did.

"You."

The ghost of Idunna, Anna's dead mother materialized in front of her. A tall brunette with eyes the color of muted sapphires and a dusting of cocoa freckles across her white skin. She wore a pure white gown of the lightest material, one side sliding off a shoulder and the other pinned by a single pearl. Her gaze was beautiful yet threatening.

"Anna."

Anna curled up in a tighter ball, shrinking fast from the glowing ghost.

"Restore it."

"Wh-what?" Anna said shakily. Her hand groped for a book or hard object to defend herself with.

"Our lives, you fool! It is your fault we died!"

Anna was shaking now. "I-I didn't know you would die!" She yelled.

The sapphire eyes of her mother darkened. "You still deny, Anna."

Anna's hand settled on a thick volume. Picking it up, she hurled it at the ghost.

Anna's heart pounded as she jerked awake, siting up. She sprinted out of her room and down the halls. The pitch black night, moon now hidden only intensified her fear. Finding the servant's quarters by memory only, she dashed around a corner pounded on Gerda's door.

The loyal servant yanked open the door, taking the shivering princess into her arms.

"It happened." Anna panted. "Again."

"Oh my sweet princess-" Gerda led her inside her room. "A nightmare?"

The two sat down on Gerda's bed, on top a quilt passed down from Gerda's great aunt. Anna's hand scraped roughly against it over and over again.

"I always dream of my dead parents now." Anna choked out. "Their death was my fault. If I hadn't told Cousin Rapunzel to wait until summer for the wedding they would still be here..."

"Ssh..." Gerda comforted, stroking the redhead's hair. "None of it was your fault, Anna. The storm was completely unexpected and unpronounced. It is strongly believed the storm had been caused by black magic or witchcraft, not by a young, sweet, loving, beautiful girl."

Every compliment fell on Anna's ears like a bite of chocolate. But what Gerda had just said tortured her.

"Who would use black magic against my parents? Who hates them?" She demanded, fresh tears springing to her eyes.

"We don't know, Anna. But the best we can hope fore is that whoever or whatever caused that death storm will be brought to justice when we find out who he or her is."

Suddenly Anna's real eyes flew open, a scream tearing from her lips. She jerked off Gerda, collapsing in a heap on the floor.

"Anna!" Gerda sprang to her feet.

"What- what if it," Anna trembled, sobbing. "Elsa! She hated my parents for keeping her away from me and hiding her secret! She avenged them and had them killed! THATS IT! All those years, she locked herself in her room to practice black magic- horrible- horrible-"

"No Anna it was not- I repeat NOT- your sister's doing."

Gerda was afraid now. Had Anna found out about Elsa's powers? Her body jerked with that horrible thought. She sighed and raised up the sobbing girl.

"I want to see Elsa."

"Anna, come with me."

Anna followed Gerda down the empty halls and down staircases. She glimpsed dark rooms and scary looking shadows. And finally, Gerda took the last turn and stopped in front of a largely bolted door. Anna's insides clenched. Was that a prison?

Gerda took out a large ring of keys from her pocket and proceeded to open all the locks. She then pushed open the door and a cold blast of air hit Anna in the face.

"AHHH!" Anna yelled. When she saw inside, she could not believe her eyes. The whole room was coated in a sheen of pure ice. Dangerous patterns climbed up the walls and on the large bed. And in the center of it all, stood a pale blonde with hands clasped behind her back, cyan eyes wide with fright.

"GERDA!" Elsa yelled, backing away. Anna was frozen, staring at her sister surrounded by ice. Her horror increased when the ice on the walls turned red and huge spikes founded themselves across the walls.

"Elsa? You have ice powers?"

"I have finally decided to tell you." Gerda replied. "Your sister indeed does have them."
