CHAPTER 13:

RE-CONNECTION

Friends, colleagues and other such people, I behold to you the latest chapter! YAY! This chapter came out a lot lighter than I expected but I think it works. Leave reviews!

On another note, a friend of mine has written a fan fic titled 'The Arendelle Degenerates'. I'd be really grateful if you guys would go over there, read it and give him some love. I guarantee you that it is a good story and very well written. You won't have any trouble finding it, nobody else has that weird of a title. :D

Happy reading!

{Elsa's POV}

Bastard! He disappears for a whole year and just waltzes back in expecting everything to go back to normal. Bastard. I stare at him, my blood boiling and my eyes brimming with rage but there was also a bit of relief and joy; I was happy to see him back. I had given up faith that he would return but here he is, back in my life but why did he leave in the first place?

"Training? You leave for a year without a word and all you want to do is train?!", I said bitterly. He continues to stare at me and just shrugs his shoulders. "Well, it does seem that you haven't done much training in the past year so I didn't know think you would mind if I suggested to jump back in.", he says coolly and it makes me even more furious. "Where the hell were you?!", I scream at him. He raises his hand in defense, or trying to tell me to lower my voice so as to not attract anyone to my room. I don't know how I feel right about now.

{Frederick's POV}

She really was pissed. She had asked me why I had disappeared and I really couldn't think of a good excuse, so I settled for a half assed one. "It was a lesson." She scowled. I cough and continue,"Before I left, you had created a deep dependency towards me and I believed that by leaving you with your own devices, your devices being pity, fear, guilt and self loathing, you would eventually seek out a new comfort, preferably your sister Anna, and by being with her some of that fear may dissolve and thus gain some control. Sad to say, you failed this test." That was a better lie than I expected.

A blast of ice came towards me and I side step in time to dodge it. A few more ice blasts come my way and I continue to dodge them. So it wasn't the best excuse. Her entire room was now being covered in ice and snow. Her face was filled with rage. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, ironically this women freezes you, Hell has a strange sense of humor. Elsa wasn't very quick with her attacks, she was exhausting too much energy; in a battle this form of attack would be the end of her. Her shots were getting slower and weaker until finally she stopped. She fell to her knees trying to catch her breath. I moved closer when she shot another blast at me but I was too close to dodge it so I deflected it. Elsa hadn't noticed, she was still too tired. She finally looks up at me. "How could you?", she asked weakly, her voice filled with hurt and her eyes screaming of betrayal. I stare at her, pity and sympathy taking hold. "I had to. This was needed and I do not regret doing it. You needed to learn and survive, not on your own but on the strength of others.", I said in a monotone voice. She drops her head again. She tries getting up but stumbles. I grab her by her waist and help her get to her bed. Strangely, she doesn't fight my assistance. Guess she was beginning to forgive me. I lay her down on her bed when she looks up at me. Still angry but less than before. "You're coming back, right? You're not gonna leave again?", she asked me. I cough a few times. "I won't go, we still got things left to do.", I reassure her. I move towards the window, giving her one final look and teleport myself to the cliff. That went better than expected.

{Elsa's POV}

I was lying on my bed, completely drained from my 'outburst' a while ago. It was amazing how he was able to evade all those attacks without even a bead of sweat. I was still angry with him, though. What he had done was inexcusable. abandoning me at the time when I most needed him. 'You needed someone, anyone, not just him'. A voice inside me spoke. I then started to think about Frederick's reasons for leaving me and as much as I hated to admit it, it did make sense. Every time I felt depressed and sad I would go to him and in the moment when I needed him the most, he left so that I would replace him with others like Anna; he was trying to break down my walls and help people get in, to let the world in and in that effort, try to show me that I wasn't a danger and that I could be happy. It was a cruel and inhumane but in an odd, and sadistic, way it made sense and I cursed him for being like that.

I tossed and turned in my bed. He was back and I didn't know what to do now. Should I continue training with him, will I be as dependent on him as before? I can't get attached to him again, he could hurt me like before and I can't have that, it almost killed me the first time. He's my mentor and nothing else. With that final thought, I drifted off to sleep.

{Frederick's POV}

I'm surprised that she let me re enter her life after what I had done. She probably would've damned me to Hell if she knew everything that I had done. Thankfully, my half assed excuse seems to have worked and she's begun to forgive me.

Her powers have grown and in the midst of rage she was able to let out a flurry of powerful and deadly attacks. Any ordinary human would've been dead in a matter of seconds. I raise my hand and twirl my fingers around. A small snowflake appears. It moves around on my palm, dancing around as I continue to gaze at it. I close my hand and crush the snowflake. Elsa's powers are quite beautiful and powerful, my need to learn took over and I began to learn it myself, trying to conjure up the same power but as I've said before, those naturally born with a power are its greatest wielder. I cough a few times, a little bit of blood spurting out. I wipe it away with the back of my hand.

Rekindling our relationship would require effort from at least one party so I decided to skip the training for today and allow our relationship to re develop. I visited Elsa at twilight and she was shocked, happy and agitated to see me. She's just a bundle of emotions, isn't she? I breath out. "So I guess you have some questions... ask away?", I tell her but she simply shakes her head. "I just wanna get some training done. That's what you're here for, right? To train and nothing else.", she said coldly.

This relationship got a whole lot easier.

So, I hope you guys liked this chapter and from the next chapter, we'll enter the time period of the coronation and the main events of Frozen so stay tuned. As always, leave reviews.
