CHAPTER 19:

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN

Well, here's the latest chapter. Hope you enjoy.

{Elsa's POV}

I felt a smile spread across my face. All my life, I spent every minute in isolation, shutting the world out, keeping myself locked in so that I would never slip up, never let the world know about my powers but as it turned out, having my powers revealed turned out to be the best thing that could ever happen to me. I was free. I had my life back, I had the acceptance of my people and the love of my sister. All my suffering had now led me to a new life, a life in which I could be free to be who I was and still loved and admired for it. Sure, it had been a hassle getting here but it was worth it. My freedom was well worth it.

Anna had just punched Hans in the face knocking him overboard. All of us cheered her on as she walked by with a smirk. I took hold of her and brought her in for a warm embrace. She feels so warm. God, it's been so long since I last touched her and I don't ever want to let go again. We part ways and stare into each other's eyes. She loved me and I loved her and thanks to that love, I know had complete control of my powers. The one thing I had been pushing away my whole life had been the one thing I needed all along.

"Hands down, this is the best day of my life and quite possibly the last.", Olaf began to melt but I quickly formed a small snow flurry to keep him cool at all time. He was so giddy. He bounced up and down with joy. We both giggled at his antics when Anna turned around and looked at the blonde man who was with her before. She beckons him to come closer. "Elsa, this is Kristoff. He helped me out and we kinda owe him a new sleigh." Kristoff rubbed the back of his neck. He gave me a bow. I stared at the two and couldn't help but think that they made the cutest couple.

My eyes shifted towards Frederick who was standing by the railings of the ship. "You should get him out of there, killing a prince won't be a good start to your reign.", Frederick coughed as he looked into the water. "Get Hans out of the water. He still has to answer for his crimes.", I told Kristoff and he nodded. He went over to the railing and threw down a rope to the 'struggling to stay afloat' Hans.

Frederick paced around the ship, coughing every few seconds. He looked worried and that bothered me greatly. I wanted to ask him what was wrong but there were too many people here and it would be hard explaining everything to them. I should wait.

We sailed back to the docks where we received mixed welcomes. Some applauded our return, others cursed me for freezing this land and I felt that it was justified. I had made these people go through so much and I didn't expect them to forgive me so quickly... But Anna did. She walked past me and stood in front of all the citizens.

"Listen here.", her voice was loud and confident. "My sister was scared. She had been scared for most of her life because of her powers and had locked herself away for many years just so she wouldn't hurt anyone. She was pushed... because of me and that's what led to all of this but now she's here, she has control and she will never do anything to harm you. She is a kind, gentle person who loves this kingdom and will do whatever she can to protect it.", she finished her speech and walked back to me. She grabbed my arm and escorted me back to the palace. I was touched by what she had said and I couldn't muster out anything that could voice my gratitude towards her so a simple hug would have to suffice.

The groups of people began following us; they seemed happy to have me back. Guess Anna's speech got through to them. We reached the courtyard of the castle and many of the citizens were standing around. I decided to put on a show and let them see for themselves that my powers weren't a threat. I tapped my foot on the ground creating a thin layer of ice. An ice rink for the town. I froze the fountains and sent out a blast of ice into the air. It erupted and snowflakes started to drift down. The people danced and skated. My powers had spread joy instead of fear.

I looked around the courtyard and saw only smiles plastered on the faces of the people and I felt content. I was finally happy.

{Frederick's POV}

And in the midst of all this joy and merriment there stood me. I had secluded myself to the shadows where I watched as Elsa dazzled the crowds with her powers. The beauty I had always known about had finally come to light and with it, it brought Elsa the freedom she had desired for so long.

She had created an ice rink and the people seemed to enjoy it. She then created a pair of ice skates for her sister and she fumbled across the ice rink towards Kristoff. Elsa stared at the crowd with pride and relief but here attention then came back to me. She noticed me standing at the side and she crept her way towards me. I gestured for her to follow me which she did.

We now stand at the side of the fjord. The place where Elsa had made her escape from. We closed the door behind us so no one would be able to hear us. Elsa just stood in front of me and continued to stare. I broke the ice.

"I'm proud of you.", I simply stated and this made her ease up and smile. "Thank you." I look around; the fjord, the docks, the ships, everything was quite beautiful. One last look.

"I guess this will be our goodbye.", I said as my gaze returned back to her. She looked hurt and confused. She took a step closer but quickly took it back. Her hand returned to her chest and she looked down in sorrow. "So, you weren't lying? You really are going to leave.", her voice was weak and I knew that this was a difficult parting for her.

"I'm sorry, Elsa. I didn't lie when I said I cared for you and because of my feelings for you, I have to leave. I corrupt the people around me. You grew more colder and harsher as you spent more time with me. Imagine what you would be like if I continued to stick around."

Elsa's face suddenly shoots up and there are tears in her eyes. "That wasn't because of you, that was...", she trailed off. She started playing with her thumbs. She was probably trying to find the right wording.

"After you left, I was devastated. I - I love you. I've loved you for years and after you left, it felt like a piece of my heart was missing. I didn't want to feel that again so I decided to push you away, force myself to not love you but I couldn't. I love you, Frederick and I want you to stay with me.", she finished and tears started to run down her cheeks. I move closer and stand only inches from her. I raise my hand and wipe away the tear with my thumb.

"Elsa, you deserve better.", I spoke in a whisper but she could hear my clearly. "You love me cause I'm the only man you've known. Their are better men and you will find one who will love you the way you deserve to be loved but you can never have get that love from me.", I said as I held back some of the coughs. I back away and continue to stare at her.

"I will never love someone as much as I did you.", she spoke quickly as she took a step forward. "You will, trust me." You won't. "Elsa, their is more than one reason for my departure. I can't tell you what they are but I want you to understand that they are important and if they weren't there, I would stay. I would stand by your side but I can't and I need you to understand that." Her eyes scan me and she then gently nods. She stifles back a tear and says,"I understand. You have your reasons, you always do. Will I ever see you again?"

I felt a pain in my heart and I wanted to tell her the truth but I couldn't. She can't know. "You will." Elsa then walked up to me and pulled me in for a tight embrace. I didn't reciprocate but after a while, I raised my hands and placed them on her back and we stood there for a few seconds but it felt much longer. We finally parted and then I did something that Elsa had never seen me do before. I smiled. I smiled a genuine smile and this made Elsa's eyes widen but then she simply chuckled. "I've never seen you smile before. It suits you.", she complimented me and I nodded.

We stood there, staring at each other with our hands entwined. I then pulled my hand away. "Elsa, I hope only the best for you and I hope that one day we will meet again." Elsa smiled as a few more tears escaped her. She leaned in and gave me a kiss on the cheek. She wasn't that cold. "Thank you, Fredeick for everything you've done. You will always have a place in my heart." I backed away and turned towards the fjord. I breathed in the fresh sea air. I turned my head. "Goodbye, Elsa." I teleported myself to the cliff and I stood there, peering towards the small kingdom. I'm so sorry, Elsa. You don't deserve to go through such heartache. You don't deserve such a future.

Weeks had gone by and the now disgraced Prince Hans had been delivered back to the Southern Isles where his trial was to be held. I had gotten minutes after departing from Elsa. I had stayed and explored the kingdom waiting for his return and now it was the day.

Hans was brought into the throne room in chains and was placed on the ground in front of the King and Queen. The King ordered for all the men to leave the room so that he may be able to speak with his son alone. They complied and left without a word. "How could you do such a vile and disgraceful thing, Hans? How could you be so barbaric?!", his father was angry and disappointed with his son. The Queen was covering her mouth and trying to hold back the tears. Hans looked up and I saw the evil in his eyes.

"Father, the Queen was a sorceress. She had magic!", Hans yelled out and this got his father's attention. "Magic?", the king muttered and Hans knew that he had taken the bait. "Yes, father. She has magic and she had cursed the land. I had believed her to be consorting with the Devil and had tried to do what I thought was right. What I thought the good Lord wanted me to do." He was playing his parents like a violin, sucking up to their religious side and it seemed to be working. "But, I was told the Queen was innocent..."

"Lies! She's a witch, father and she deserves to be burned on the cross. They fear her and her powers and they do not wish to anger her. That is why they speak so highly of her. I have seen what she can do and I'm telling you, she is evil and she needs to be killed!" The King rubbed his forehead and looked at his son. "You're right. She is an abomination and deserves to be killed. The good Lord would not want a witch like her to continue living." Hans smirked. Vile bastard.

This is why the narrow minded should never lead.
