A Sorrow Awaking

Elsa didn't sleep well that night, knowing Anna was gone and they were going to do a mind test on her to see if she was a threat or ready to learn her title back. When Elsa did wake up, she didn't delicately climb out as she usually did. She laid in the warm blankets of her bed for at least twenty minutes then stumbled out, knocking over her lamp that was made just for her as a child.

"Control you powers!" Elsa whispered to herself, then dressed in a blue dress with snowflakes, and not her usual one crafted with sorcery. For now, she wanted to forget her dangerous side, and unleash her majestic dutiful side! But she knew it'd take more than a dress and gloves.

"How will I do this," she groaned and face palmed herself,"I've just been unsheathing my powers for past weeks..." Elsa then walked out the door, about to face the grand test to prove her loyalties: Ice or Kingdom...

Sunshine! You're awake.

Yes, now tell me the 'truth'. I thought I knew the truth! I thought there were no lies!

Anna, you will never escape lies. Neither will the people of Arrendale!

Even Elsa? With her ice powers?

Elsa...Elsa...hmmm

Papa? What about Elsa?

Elsa is going to have to face a lot this summer, and it wouldn't be like me to just let you know...I'll grant you a day in Arrendale.

Really? Elsa will see me? Yes! I've wanted to see her ever since I froze and came here-is 'here' heaven?

Elsa will not see Anna, she will see a girl who is like Anna, but looks completely different...

Elsa sat in the luxurious chair. In front of her was a recorder, and a woman. Tall, lean, and beautiful.

"Hello El-er, Queen Elsa. I will be recording to see your loyalties." Elsa didn't mind being called just Elsa. The whole 'queen' thing way hard to keep up with anyway. A woman rushed in. She instantly poured a cup of icky purple stuff. Elsa looked at the woman more closely then was caught by surprise.

"Madam Estrel!" The woman nodded at Elsa. Madam Estrel had been her personal nurse since she was born.

"Hush now and just," Madam Estrel paused and gave Elsa the I'm-so-sorry-this-is-happening-to-you look,"Just drink this, it'll help you relax." Elsa knew her nurse was lying. It was a tonic to make her tell the truth about everything for an hour. Madam Estrel then hurried out. That got Elsa to thinking what had happened to Anna's personal nurse, Madam Capp. She then stopped thinking when the lady stammered:

"I-I wa-ant you to a-a-answer t-to everything I as-ask you." Elsa nodded patiently. Was the lady sorry that this was happening to her like Madam Estrel. Elsa sighed deeply.

"Let's get on with it then." The woman nodded wearily and started her questions.

"Were you fascinated by your powers?" Elsa fought the tonic but it was to no use. She finally just answered correctly.

"No..I was terrified." The woman continued.

"Did you mean to protect Arrendale by running away or to escape from being put in p-prison?" Elsa felt a tear trickle down her cheek. She was not only trying to protect Arrendale.

"I did it for Anna mostly..but also for Arrendale." Elsa began to weep right there and the woman seemed to get lost in memory. She suddenly snapped out of it.

"Did you freeze your sister's heart on purpose?" The woman noticed Elsa getting furious."Why you little piece of dirt! How dare you think I froze her heart on purpose!" The woman looked frightened but continued still.

"Do you wish to be queen of Arrendale?" Elsa knew that this was the final question. She glanced at the clock. It was far from being an hour, but she fought with all her might to not answer "no". The room started to freeze up. The woman was terrified. But it seemed she wasn't that terrified.

"I..just..don't know..I'd love the responsibility." Elsa felt rushed and her head started pounding. The woman noticed she was in pain.

"This test is over. I'll fetch Madam Estrel." Elsa groaned. Had she failed? Would she be banished to yonder land? The woman walked outside and caught Madam Estrel humming worriedly as if she could feel the room freezing.

"Release Elsa of the tonic." The woman seemed to plead and Madam Estrel didn't hesitate for a second. She gave her patient another drink of a icky blue color. Elsa sipped it, then sat up straight.

"Did I fail the test?" she asked as fast as she could.

"You passed."
