A.N. Back in 2013 a little movie came out about sisterly love, family strength, deep sorrow and fears, about the courage and magic each of us holds. This little movie inspired me to even attempt writing fanfiction, and so this first story saw the day of light.

In that instant, Anna froze to solid ice and the sword shattered completely hitting on her hand, instead of Elsa. The force of it send Hans flying back and knocked him out, leaving him motionless on the frozen ground. For a moment there was only silence, but then Elsa turned and saw her sister frozen behind her.

„Anna!" was the only thing Elsa managed to scream out while rushing to her sister. No, this is impossible, this could not happened, was the only thing she could think while watching her own reflection in her sisters frozen eyes.

„Oh, Anna...no...no, please no."

But it was true, this time it was for real. Elsa touched gently Anna's cold checks and field warm tears dropping slowly along her own face. Full of despair she hugged Anna, no, she hung her self around her sister, incapable to stand any longer on her feet. She cried hanging around her frozen sister on the frozen fjord in the icy cold, but she did not feel any cold or any emptiness, like the last few years, the only thing she could feel was a warm feeling inside her and it was like something inside her soul melted and let all her feelings for her sister come out. Time passed as she was sobbing, maybe only moments, and many people were watching from shore and from the castle walls- guards, maids, diplomats and villages- with deep sorrow.

And while everything and everyone were quiet, Anna began to thaw, from her heart until she was completely her self again. This took only a moment, and while she still catched her breath, Elsa looked up and with a surprised smile hugged her sister again.

„Anna"

„Oh, Elsa" said Anna's warm voice.

„You sacrificed yourself for me?"

„I love you"

Olaf, who was wholly forgotten by everyone was the first one who realised what had happened and who said happy out loud:

„An act of true love, will thaw a frozen heart!"

In that moment something made click in Elsa's mind and she understood the meaning too. For it was Anna's love forwards Elsa that made her choose sacrifice instead of life and Elsa's honest sorrow for her sister that made both their hearts melt. Yes, for it was Anna who carried a cold heart and Elsa who's heart was frozen by fear.

"Love…will thaw…Of course…love!"

Softly she raised her hands, and while she did she felt suddenly a new power in her. The ice cracked under their feet and raised in small flakes into the air. Anna watched with amazement how a ship came up under their feet, and not only she was watching, all the people, not long ago greawing, now looked happy how summer came again.

With a last rise of her hands towards the sky, Elsa collected all the snow and formed a giant snowflake, and with a move waved winter away and left the warm summer sun shine again.

A soft smile appeared at her face as she saw the sun, and as Anna laid her hand on her shoulder.

"I knew you could do it"

"Hands down, this is the best day of my life...and quite possibly the last."

First now they remembered the snowman Olaf as he began to thaw slowly too!

"Oh, Olaf! Hang on little guy" and with one wave of Elsa's hand Olaf had his own flurry, which would keep him always cool. And while their reunion, they have completely forgotten Hans, who tried to get up at the other side of the ship. Kristof who had been standing all the time in silence, now felt deep anger towards this person, who has not only broken Anna's heart, but has also played his game with the sisters, and as he was about to make towards him, Anna's hand hold him back, as she went with new confidence to him.

"Anna? But she froze your heart."

"The only frozen heart around here is yours." And with that she gave Hans a punch in his face, and as he was not yet strong enough to stand, he felt over into the water, where he got at the moment fished out by some gourds, who where sailing towards the queen. With great happiness Elsa welcomed Anna again into her arms.

"Elsa?" Anna whispers to her sister.

"I think its time to go home."

With a soft smile Elsa nodded and made some steps towards the end of the ship and formed an icy bridge towards the shore.

"Oh, great! I can´t wait to live in the castle, I´m sure it has 100 rooms!" Olaf says hoping along the sisters.

As they walked over the bridge to the shore they found them self on the town square surrounded by dozens of people, some of them stood happy applauding to their royalties, some still surprised and amazed with what had happened and some who were still confused with all they have seen these days.

The former king and queen, now passed away for many years, were much beloved among their people, and the young princesses were even more loved. When the gates were closed, everyone was sure that it was surely for the safety of the young highnesses, as they lived in an unsecure time and everyone knew how much the royal couple loved their children. Of course some rumours were spread too, about a possible illness of the oldest one as a cause for her absence, but after she was seen more than once with her family driving in the couch, these rumours were forgotten. After the dead of the reign couple, the whole kingdom fell into deep sorrow, but when princess Elsa reached the right age, a country wide celebration was prepared and everyone was glad to have a reign from this family again.

At the night of her coronaration, while the celebration was fully going on, they suddenly saw their new queen rushing out the castle, disorientated and deeply scared. First nobody played greater attention on it, they welcomed her for a drink, but when she suddenly froze the fountain and run away, nobody knew what to think. At the same moment snow began to fall and it got colder, but still nobody could believe that that was meant ill, that it was more of a understandable accident. For many days it stayed unclear to the people what was going on, was their queen cursed, was she a monster like some tried to tell? None of it made sense. Now the queen and her sister, short before frozen to dead, were standing at the midst of the town square in the warm summer sun.

Elsa looked at all the people who waited for an explanation, and even while she knew that nobody was really mad at her, she searched long for the right words.

"Dear people of Arendalle," she began.

"I stand here and see your faces full of questions and hope for your excuse. It is hard for me to find the right words after all what has happened, for until now I have not been the right reign you deserve. I was born with a special gift, although it seemed more as a course than as a gift to me, and I found my self not in the position of understanding it truly. The problem when you have a special talent is that you often feel overburdened, like this gift is to heavy for you and meant for someone stronger than yourself. An accident long ago created fear, and I made fear my biggest enemy. I´m sorry for causing you all trouble, for it is the last thing I would wish for my people. Today I´m understanding and today I´m stronger. Today I stand here as your queen, knowing my duties and promising to always take care of you."

At the same moment she finished her speech people slowly started to clap in their hands. Elsa was more than happy, because a beginning was made and taking her sister by the hand she started to walk towards the castle.

Among the people were Kai and Gerda, two of the castle servants and a kind of close friends to the former reign couple. They were too very happy, but not only that, but also relieved to know that finally everything was going fine and that their beloved Elsa found the right words. They always believed in her, they were among the few who knew her secret from the beginning.
