I'm backkkkk!

Okay, I have now seen Frozen five times. And I still enjoyed it immensely the 5th time!

Based on the feedback I have gotten, Anna will NOT have any powers. Other than her beautiful optimism and slight awkwardness of course!

Speaking of feedback, a huge thanks to my beautiful wonderful reviewers! That would be the spectacular MorganArgent, the fantastic csarcher3, the wonderful kuramaangel, the beautiful faith123, the amazing wolfgirl1221, the stupendous A frozen fic lov, the inspiring Guest, the outstanding Lilly, the magnificent Olafqhace, the stunning Guest, and the the marvelous lightening1997! Thank you thank you thank you!

Wow that was a lot of adjectives.

Olafqhace: Aww thanks! I feel so super honored to have gotten into your top 10! *blushes and then sobs with happiness* I hope you won't be too disappointed that I don't think I will be giving Anna powers! *makes worried face that Olafqhace will hate me* And I would LOVE to read some of your causes and consequences book. I would totally weave that sort of stuff in, in fact, just thinking about it is inspiring me on some plot ideas! :) Anyways, thanks for the lovely review!

If any of you have any questions or comments that you'd like me to respond to, let me know! I read every review, I just wish I had the time to respond to them all!

Disclaimer: I still do not own Frozen. And I'm still sad about it.

Please leave a review at the end? Please? Hearing from my readers is like my fav thing ever!

If you leave a review, I will virtually magically transform you into Elsa for a day. Or Olaf if you'd prefer.

Enjoy!

Elsa woke with a strange feeling of uneasiness.

Yesterday had been… Amazing. She didn't know how else to describe it. She had had fun with her sister. Pure, simple, uncomplicated fun.

Yet… Something was wrong.

Elsa quickly got out of bed, transforming her nightgown into her usual icy frock, ice high heels forming on her feet without thought.

She didn't cast the guards a second look as she exited the room, walking briskly to Anna's bedroom.

A thin layer of ice flowed from her feet, a couple snowflakes falling around her.

The sense of fear sharpened irrationally. Elsa didn't know why she suddenly felt the need to make sure her sister was okay. It was like something deep inside of her was going haywire.

Calm down, why wouldn't she be okay? She's probably fast asleep right now, drooling and dreaming about Kristoff.

"Has anything happened?" Elsa asked the guards at Anna's door, trying to appear composed.

"No, your majesty. Nobody has been in or out. Everything has been quiet," one of the guards told her. What was his name? Njar…Njark? Whatever, it didn't matter.

"Shift change! Oh… Good morning Your Highness." This time the voice was familiar. Elsa turned to find Kirk standing behind her, green eyes bright.

"Good morning." Elsa acknowledged him then turned to the door and knocked.

No answer.

"Anna!" Elsa knocked again, the pounding in her chest growing. "Annaaaaaaa!"

Still no answer.

Frustrated, Elsa reached for the doorknob.

It was locked.

Elsa paled. Anna never locked her door. Ever.

Something was wrong. Something was really wrong- her gut feeling had been right after all.

With a wave of her hand, the door splintered, wood and ice exploding through the air. Elsa ignored the debris and ran into the room, her blue eyes quickly searching the room.

Empty.

"No!" Elsa ran to the window, which was slightly cracked. Her breath caught in her chest. "Anna! No…" Her head snapped back to the window and she stared at the city unfolding beneath the palace, out to the oceans surrounding them, the forests. "Oh God, no," Elsa closed her eyes briefly.

When she opened them again, her gaze fell upon a small piece of paper lying on the ground.

With trembling hands, she picked it up.

We will be contacting you, Ice Queen.

"No no no no…" Elsa stared at the note blankly, horror filling her countenance. A gentle hand touched her shoulder, carefully removing the note from her hand. There was a murmured curse.

"Send out a scout team immediately! We need to find the Princess at all costs! And bring three more guards for the Queen. Is someone doing a perimeter check?!"

Elsa turned to see that it was Kirk shouting the orders, having to yell over the swirling wind and snow that was filling the room.

Oops.

"Queen Elsa! We'll find her!" Kirk shouted over the winds. However, for some reason, the snow and ice slid past him, as though there was a protective barrier around him. His hair wasn't even ruffled by the whirling air.

"Get away!" she cried. The fear was too much. She closed her eyes and struggled to control the raging emotions.

Why Anna? Why?

The wind howled in her ears.

"Queen Elsa, you are doing your sister no favors by becoming so upset!"

Elsa's blue eyes shot open with disbelief. Kirk was still in the room, although she could barely see him through the whirling snow.

How dare he…

Wait. He was right. This was doing nothing for Anna.

Slowly Elsa relaxed as she focused on making a plan to find her sister.

"There you go," the now familiar deep rumble of Kirk's voice said. Elsa stiffened and turned around.

The stupid guard hat was gone and Elsa could fully see the soldier's face. His hair was honey brown, thick, and slightly curly. He had a strong chin and a defined jawbone that gave his face a chiseled look. And then there were those bright green eyes.

He didn't look as though he had just waded through a blizzard. In fact, not a hair on his head was disheveled.

"Are you alright?" he asked quietly.

For some reason, she was grateful that he had dropped the formality even though the way he was speaking to her as queen was completely inappropriate. But somehow it seemed appropriate for the situation.

"No. But… thank you,"

"I promise, we will do everything we can to find Anna… I will do everything I can." Kirk shifted his weight. "I promise."

Elsa observed him silently, her blue eyes large and troubled. She felt like snapping at him, to shout that she didn't want his help, that she wanted to be alone.

You always want to be alone when you're upset. Why don't you let someone in?

"Thank you. Let's get to work then."

Why is my bed so… hard?

Anna stirred slightly, fighting to open her eyes.

Man, her head was swimming!

Finally Anna managed to pry her eyes open and saw…

Darkness.

Well, that was not as exciting as she had hoped.

Anna was extremely confused as to what was going on for about 17.4 seconds and then suddenly the memories of the bedroom attack flooded back to her.

Oh no. She had been kidnapped. Well darn it. Elsa was going to freak out. The country would probably be frozen three times over. Anna felt sudden pang of fear. She didn't know what had happened at the palace after she had blacked out. What if Elsa was hurt or… or worse. And if she wasn't, she was going to be so upset!

She had to get out of here.

Anna squirmed and found that her hands were tightly tied behind her back. Further investigation also revealed that her ankles were bound, there was still a gag around her mouth, and the darkness was due to a blindfold. The floor she was lying on felt rough beneath her cheek. Perhaps wood…

A feeling of panic seized her. She had no idea where she was, who she was with… There could be other people in the room with her, watching her, and she had no idea.

"Mmmph!" Anna let out a groan of frustration, trying to fight the fear that was racing through her body. Be scared would do nothing.

Suddenly she had an idea. Letting her cheek rest against the rough ground, she rubbed her face against it in a way that, with some difficulty and several painful scrapes and splinters, pushed up the blindfold.

Blinking, Anna took in the small cramped room. Light poured in from a tiny window. There were a couple crates and barrels but not much else.

No people watching her. Phew. That was a relief.

Suddenly the ground lurched beneath Anna and she let out a muffled cry of surprise.

Um, the ground isn't supposed to move!

Twisting her body, she managed to sit up against the wall. The floor tilted again, throwing her to the side, her head banging against a crate. Ow…

Was she in a wagon? Or…

A boat.

"Princess, why did you take off your blindfold?"

Anna started, her body tensing. A slender woman clothed completely in black was standing in the doorway.

Anna silently glared at her.

"Oh, I forgot, you can't speak," the woman laughed, a light tinkling noise. But the sound was edged with a cruel joy that made shivers go up Anna's back. "Let me help you with that." She stepped forward, pulling the gag from Anna's mouth, her face close to the young princess. Anna estimated she was around Elsa's age. She was beautiful. She had long thick black hair, and elegant noise, and full lips.

But her eyes were black as coal and full of hatred.

"I've heard you're the spunky one," Black-eyes said. "Let me get a look of you." She tilted Anna's chin up. Anna felt as though those eyes were burning into her.

"Don't touch me!" Anna found her voice, pulling her head away. She would not show any fear. Not even if on the inside she was trembling and wishing with every fiber in her body that Kristoff and Elsa were there. "Why did you bring me here?"

"Hmm, you are spunky. My name is Raven, Princess."

"I don't care what your name is!" Anna growled.

She gasped as suddenly her head snapped to the left, burning pain spreading from her cheek at the unexpected slap.

"Careful Princess. I am not above violence. And I have some friends on this boat…"

"So we are on a boat!" Anna exclaimed triumphantly.

"…who are dying to get their hands on a royal brat. I'd advise you try to get along with me during your stay."

The expression on Raven's beautiful face was enough to convince Anna that she was serious.

"And exactly how long will my stay be?" Anna asked quietly.

"That depends on your sister, sweetie." Raven stood up to leave.
"My sister? Leave Elsa alone!" Anna cried, her aquamarine eyes flashing.

"Honey, your sister is the only one we're interested in. You're just the bait."

"So… Me being here has nothing to do with me?" Anna furrowed her brow.

"I suppose not. You just happen to be the Ice Queen's beloved little sister."

"So I didn't do anything that got me into this mess?" Anna clarified.

"No you didn't." Raven began to look impatient, her flawless lips frowning.

"Yes!" Anna cheered. She would have done a fist pump if her hands weren't tied behind her back. "Well that's a nice change for once!"

It was so stupid that she was feeling relieved over this while tied hand and foot, stuck with a crazy lunatic model lady, but Anna couldn't help it. Every single disaster that had befallen her and Elsa seemed to ultimately result from her acting without thinking. Elsa had explained what had happened when they were children and Anna knew that, even though Elsa hadn't even implied it in the slightest, Anna's younger self hadn't exactly been very careful. She had jumped from snow mound to snow mound without a thought of the pressure she was putting on Elsa to catch her. So really, she had been acting stupid and it wasn't Elsa's fault that what happened happened.

And then the whole Winter disaster had been because Anna had blown up at Elsa in the ballroom. Again, Anna's fault for acting thoughtlessly.

"Princess, there's no reason for you to look so happy. You and your sister will not be escaping from this."

"There's no way you'll defeat Elsa," Anna shot back confidently. "She's no match for you!"

"That's why we have you to weaken her," Raven smiled without mirth.

With that, she swept out of the room.

"Okay, time to get out of here," Anna mumbled under her breath and began to work at the knots on her wrists.

Also, in case you didn't see it above, I have decided Anna will NOT be developing powers.

(this decision was based on what most of my reviewers have said. for those disappointed, maybe i'll write another story sometime where Anna has powers)

Please leave a review! :) Any thoughts? Am I doing okay?
