Chapter 2:
2 years later
Seasons passed and so are the months. The summer came back once again in the Southern Isles leaving many children playing once again in the hot summer heat like Hans and Brann did back then. They could be playing with their swords now but instead they are sitting in front of the altar seeing their own parents get married with each mother.
The days they played with each other while their parents stood on the sidelines having tea made their relationships better. As years passed, the king realized how lonely the castle have become without the queen by his side and his children were growing up fast without the guidance of a mother and that made him realized; who could be a better queen than the beautiful Alena with her son treating Hans already like a brother. One day, as the sun starts settling down and Alena ready to leave, he held her hands and kneeled on his knee proposing to her in a business-like manner but of course, he mumbled some of the words making her more confused which makes her refuse his proposition. The second time he tried, he just blurted out the words "Will you marry me?" Leaving her surprised with the bluntness and making leave, again. The third time, well, he already expressed his love for her the past few days and he kneeled down, in front of Brann and asked "Will you accept me as your father?" Brann, excited for the prospect of having his best friend as brother nods excitedly. The king then kneeled in front of Brann's mother and looked at her. With that one single look, Alena's eye became teary and a look of happiness was on her face as she said yes.
Now, they're here, in front of the altar saying their vows to each other. Their children, meaning Hans and Brann only not their other twelve older brothers, are really happy. They talked and talked nonstop about how they are going to be brothers that even all the servants are tired of them talking about it.
"Hey Brann, look at that girl" Hans whispered to Brann, pointing at the girl on the left. She was wearing a blue flowy dress, it was tight on her top and loose at below waist, it ends right above her ankles showing off her icy blue shoes with small flower rosemaling on it. Her hair was in curls with some of it was in braid around at the back. She wearing a blue gloves as well, but so does every other girl at the church.
"Wow, she looks amazing." Brann whispered to Hans who is nods in agreement on what he said. The church bell started ringing signifying the end of the wedding. The newly wedded couple was immediately showered with fresh rose petals from the guests. They exited from the wide open wooden door of the church with the yellow coach already waiting for them.
"So, we're now officially brothers?" Hans inquired Brann who is also too surprised to answer.
"I guess so" Brann said as they were headed on the coach different from his (new) brothers to avoid any fights that is probably going to start there.
"Hey, remember that girl?" Hans asked after a moment of staring outside the window. Brann looked at him confused and asked "The girl in a blue dress?" Hans nodded at his brother's question. Hans suddenly said "I also think she's pretty."
Brann smiled at his brother who has a blush on his face and a dreamy look on his eyes. He leaned down on his chair and up to near Hans' face "Well, too bad, I liked her first."
Hans eyes flared with confusion and then realization, he smirked "How about we have a competition."
"What for?" Brann inquired with bewilderment. Hans smirked even more and murmured into his ear "The first one to dance with her will get to marry her"
"Aren't we too young to marry her?" Brann asked Hans. He laughed at his brother's question and said "No, Brann, she's probably a royalty and everyone knows one of us is probably going to marry her."
Brann nodded. He was suddenly thinking about how his strategy plans to get her to dance with him first. Hans, on the other side, was also deep in concentration, his hands were under his cheeks and his eyebrows were furrowed. The coach suddenly stopped almost throwing Brann off his sit.
"Let the game commence." Hans announced running off the door of the coach. Brann was left behind trying to catch up with his brother "Hey, wait for me!"
The ballroom of the castle was filled with various chattering from many guests. A bell suddenly rang signifying the announcing of Southern Isles' closest traders.
"Please welcome, King Aloysius and Queen Cecilia with the crowned princess, Princess Elsa." The host announced to many of the guest. Many people bowed while some curtsied in respect. The three of them went to other people talking while Elsa follows her father. This struck Brann as an opportunity to ask Elsa for a dance but Hans was already running near her so he ran faster.
When he got near Elsa, Hans was already there in front of her, he was talking and she was giggling over something he said. Her smile make his heart flutters even more. Hans then bowed down in front of her offering his hand for a dance. She looked over her father who shook his head. She then whispered something to Hans which made him sad but still remains a gentleman who bows down in front of ladies even though they reject him.
Brann walked near Elsa. "My lady, may I offer you a dance?" His hands hover above the bare part of her neck trying to get her attention. He decided to poke her so she can noticed him even if she was still talking to one of Hans' older brothers. When he touched her, the warmth in his body from his powers suddenly seems to be gone, the air suddenly felt chilly and everything around him was spinning. He tried to conjure up some fire but he failed.
It also happened to Elsa, once a very warm hand touched her, her body lose all of it's cold and she felt like she was on fire. The ballroom, despite of its air ventilation, suddenly felt like the sun. She was like in a giant gas that was trying to heat her up until she explodes into million pieces. She fell down on the floor with a loud thud.
Her parents rushed into her, when they held her body, they were very surprised when her body temperature gone up much higher than her normal body temperature but just on par with a normal human. Brann's mother also noticed it, with her son convulsing and Elsa passing out at the same time. The king and queen of Arendelle bids goodbye earlier than expected.
"Bring Brann to the hospital!" The king instructed the guards of the castle, they immediately carried Brann, bringing him near the hospital wing of the castle. The queen was very confused about what happened between the two children that resulted in a sudden illness.
"Did you know what happened?" The king asked Alena who just shook her head still questioning everything that happened. Hans looked up to his father "Is Brann going to be okay?" Alena nods at Hans' question and kneeled down and hugged him tightly wishing for a safe recovery for her son.
"He is going to be okay he's tough, don't worry." The king said to his wife trying to calm her down but deep down, he was also wishing for his son to be okay, but a small sliver of doubt passed through him.
Meanwhile, at the boat to Arendelle.
"This is going to be the last time we take her out of Arendelle, Cecile" The king said pacing back and forth from his cabin. His wife, Cecilia or Cecile, was sitting at the bed reading. She glanced up the king. "Aloysius, you do know that a locked home is not a great place for a child."
"But Cecile, love" Cecilia eyed her husband and rolled her eyes "Her powers are going stronger and stronger."
"Aloysius, love, that is not an excused to not let her out." Cecilia puts her book down and stood in front of her husband, she puts her hand on his shoulder effectively calming him down. "Her relationship with Anna is already gone and now we're going to cut her off the world?"
Aloysius sighs knowing he will never win in arguments with his wife "Let's wait for a few more months, and if this acts up again, we will not let her out of the castle anymore."
She hugged her husband tightly enclosing his lips with hers.
Outside of that door, Elsa was listening. The fire on her body stopped but she still felt weak. She realized that if she hurt anyone again she would never get out of the castle. Her breath suddenly became faster and her body colder, she closed her eyes and mumbled under her breath while going to her cabin at the ship "Conceal it, don't feel, don't let it go."
A/N: Thanks to all the reviewers and followers and the favorites. Thanks, you made my day better. Also, Elsa was in the wedding because I think that her parents would bring her with other traders so she can know all her duties as the crowned queen. Anna is usually left alone as she's not the heir. Another thing is please tell me your preferred pairing in this story as I really don't outline stories and just let it flow naturally, so please tell me your pairing as it will effect many points in this story onwards.
Fun fact: Brann is norwegian for fire and he was inspired by Leo Valdez from HoO
