Slowly awakening I feel dizzy as I open my eyes, realizing that I'm not in my room anymore but tightly bound to a hard chair waist tied tightly with rope, ankles tied and hands tightly bound behind my back with rope that seems to be digging into my skin leaving my wrists feeling bloody and raw. "H-he-hello?" I call out nervously. "Is anyone there?" I question.

A lantern is lit a few feet away from me and hung on a hook. A dark figure approaches me slowly. I can now see most of what hangs on the walls of a dimly lit room. Which seems to resembles the castles old torture chambers which haven't been used in many years. Nobody even came down here anymore I doubt I'd be found here . "Hello Elsa."

I recognize the voice and begin to panic, my breathing becomes heavy and staccato like. Stepping closer to me he places a hand on my cheek. "Oh Elsa." I shake nervously my eyes darting from place to place in the room. A second man hands something silver and metallic to Hans. I recognize them as the syringes the apothecary has for medications such as sedatives. "You're not going to enjoy this." he laughs. "It's incredibly painful." he twirls the device around in his hands looking at me with a menacing glare every so often.

"Please... Please leave me alone." I mumble frightened. "What are you going to do me?" I feel my heart begin to pound faster and faster in my chest. I grow nervous as I look at the device is his Hands unable to concentrate on anything else.

"Oh Elsa... I have very specific plans for you... But I thought first... Since we're down here I thought we could have a little fun.""Hans, they're already looking for her. We don't have time to fool around, just get it over with so we can send her back."

Send me back? What did they mean by that. I struggle slightly in the tight binds "What are you doing to me." I ask again. Hans pays me no attention and within seconds I feel a large pain in my arm. Letting out a scream only for my mouth to be covered by the taller man. My head begins spinning in pain and my vision grows into nothing but a blur.

"We will see you again soon Elsa... Very soon." Hans whispers.

When I wake up again, I'm back in my room. Nothing has seemed to change, I push myself up into a sitting position and swing my feet over the edge of the bed slowly pulling myself up. In bare feet I quietly walk to the wardrobe across the room and change into a long green dress. Whatever happened last night must have been some horrible dream.

"Elsa!" Anna bursts through the door. "I'm so glad you're okay!" she smiles racing over to hug me tight. I pull a confused look.

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"You were missing all night long. They finally found you sleeping in the gardens. Why were you out there."

"Sleepwalking maybe." I shrug my shoulders sending a shooting pain through my arm. I take a look at it to see blood running down it. Last night was certainly not just a dream, but I didn't feel any different. What would they have done to me, I certainly did not want to worry my sister with the information.

Anna leaves after a while and Gerda, comes into my room. "Elsa dear, you called for me? What seems to be the problem?"

"I think Hans is in the castle, he did something to me last night." I pull off the cloak and reveal my arm. Gerda looks at it carefully. "Elsa... What is this?"

I shake my head. "I don't know! He injected something into my arm! It made my head spin I felt lightheaded and sick whatever it was. I don't think it's good." I say nervously. "The last thing I remember is him saying that he would see me very soon." I look at the lady with a fearful glance.

"I'm going to get the doctor to take a took at that arm of yours and we will try to figure out what's going on, do not worry too much your majesty, the stress isn't good for you."

In a matter of minutes Gerda returns with the doctor. He examines my arm carefully cleaning it nicely and wrapping a cloth tightly around it. "I'm not exactly sure what the intentions were when he injected you. Your arm might be sore for a while, but it should heal rather nicely now If you begin to experience any..."

I cut him off with a rather loud scream clawing at my head as it pounds in pain. Almost as if something's trying to get in. "Make it stop. Please... please stop it make it stop." I cry out loudly.

"Elsa!" I feel somebody shaking me. Screaming my name over and over. But the pounding in my head only intensifies as time goes on.

"Please." I beg. "Please stop it please." I dig my nails into my head clawing at it. It feels like somethings inside my head I soon feel my hands being pulled away.

"She's going to hurt herself, we have to restrain her."

"She said something about Prince Hans earlier."

I hear hushed tones go back and forth. I can no longer move my hands. Crying and screaming fill the air the room grows cold and ice creeps up the walls. "Elsa, Darling." I hear Gerda's voice. "You have to calm down sweetheart you're perfectly safe."

I try to concentrate on the soft sound of her voice. But the pain in my head takes over. "Please make it go away." I beg sobbing. "Please make it stop hurting I can't take it anymore." I cry. "Make it go away please make it go away."

"The Queen is stronger than I thought... She's resisting it." I state sitting down in a chair crossing my legs.

"What are we supposed to do?"

"She needs something stronger, the initial treatments aren't working on her like I thought they would, see to

It she's brought to me again... As soon as possible. I'd like to begin and go ahead with plans as soon as possible."

"Of course."

I smirk. "Ensure nobody sees you. Make absolute certain Elsa has all her affairs in order before you try to approach her. Last time, my man was nearly caught because of his foolishness. Remember in order to be successful, nobody can know what we're planning for the Queen."

Hours later I wake up a few people remain at my side. "Hello sweetheart, how are you feeling? any better?" Gerda asks.

"Have you found Hans yet?" I ask fearfully. Blinking rapidly as I look up at her. The elderly woman takes my hand. "Elsa, there are many people looking for him and trying to keep you safe as well. I assure you everything is being done to prevent him from getting to you again. Nobody is sure how he managed to take you in the first place."

I sigh softly my head still aches. "What about Anna?" I question trying to sit up noticing the restraints have been removed from my hands. The ice in the room was now gone and everything seemed to be in order.

"Anna is just fine." Gerda paused. "Speaking of your sister, she's worried sick about you. Would you like to see her?"

I nod smiling. "Yes, I'd love too."

Gerda nods and backs away from my bed. "I'll go get her, she's been waiting to see you."

I lie in bed thinking for a while as I recall my encounter with Hans, I begin shaking slightly and jump as I hear my doors creak open.

"Oh Elsa I'm so sorry did I startle you?" Anna asks.

"A little bit, I'm just nervous after what Hans did to me... I'm not even sure what he did to me."

Anna hugs me tightly. "I'm just glad you're okay Elsa." she smiles. "I was so worried I could hear you screaming but they wouldn't let me come to see you." finally Anna pulls away and I breathe in deeply. "It's okay now Anna, I don't think Hans is going to get to me again."

Anna and I sit in silence for a long time. Before she looks at me and pulls a strange face examining my hair. "Elsa your hair..." Anna begins in a shocked tone reaching towards me.

"What?" I ask growing nervous.

"It's turning black." Anna grabbed a strand of my hair. Looking at it closer. "I...I'm sure it's nothing."

I take a closer look several strands in my platinum blonde hair have turned obsidian black. I breathe out deeply and get out of bed. Studying myself in the mirror before turning back to my sister. "I look awful!" I begin frustrated. "It looks like a child tried to die my hair with ink!"

Anna frowns slightly. "It's not that bad Elsa..." she walks up to me placing a hand on my shoulder. She looks up at me just as another part of my hair goes dark.

I can see the worried look in my sisters eyes. I snap my head back to the mirror more hair is dark than before. "What's happening to me." I say in tears. "What did they do to me..."

"We'll figure this out, I promise." Anna smiles but instead of smiling back at her I hang my head low. "Anna... We have no idea where to start and this..." I pause taking a deep breath. "This curse seems to be progressing rather quickly... I'm not sure we have enough time to figure it all out"

Anna shakes her head. "We will Elsa, now tell me what happened everything you remember."

I hesitate a moment. "Okay." I begin. "At first I got these headaches that's when you heard me screaming. It feels like something's inside my head."

Anna contorts her face in confusion. "Elsa I'm sure we can figure this all out."

"What if we can't!" I begin pacing around the room nervously. "What if I'm dying or something! What if I'm turning into some kind of monster!"

"Elsa... It's going to be okay!" Anna tries to stay calm speaking softly.

"No it is not!" I whip around screaming at her. "Anna!" I pause. "It is not okay! Look at me! Look what they've done to me!" I say angered walking up to her. "You can pretend that its all going to work out. But sometimes it doesn't."

Anna fiddles with her fingers and looks down at the floor. "You don't have to yell at me Elsa, I'm just trying to assure you it's going to be alright."

"Well maybe it isn't Anna."

"Why don't you believe we can fix this? I do? I think there's always a way."

I laugh. "That's so like you, you always think its going to get better. You always think that everything is going to be okay in the end. This isn't a Fairytale storybook Anna! there isn't always a happy ending!"

"Why are you being so mean to me." she stammers almost in tears her voice grows softer. "I just wanted to help you."

"Elsa has been weakened, it's starting to work. There's no need for a second dose of what you gave her at this point. It should only be a matter of time before it consumes her." A larger man of average hight looked down at the me

"Very good and the Princess? What of her?" I ask

"Princess Anna is much to busy trying to find a way to reverse what we've done to her sister. "

"Very good, very good." I hum softly standing up from my chair. "But as she might there is no possible way to reverse this. She doesn't even know what's going on yet." I state smiling as I breathe in deeply. "Soon I shall have everything I wanted."

Anna leaves the room in silence. Not saying another word, I turn and look at myself in the mirror. My hair is almost entirely black. I feel burning anger deep inside me an anger that I couldn't explain. I just screamed at my younger sister for trying to help me.

Sighing deeply I walk out of my room and shut the door quietly. Slowly moving down the hall to the study trying to control the anger inside me.

I enter the room and lock myself inside pulling books off the shelf until I find a book hidden away. With the map my mother and father used to find the rock trolls.

Scanning through page upon page of the magical archive. I finally found what I was looking for.

"The draught of darkness, will cause an individual to become completely consumed by darkness. Becoming an evil version of oneself. Most typically injected into the bloodstream for better effects than consumption by mouth. The draught will begin with minor change to appearance, attitude and eventually progress until said individual has been fully consumed."

I looked at the pages and nearly cried. I was going dark that was it, my appearance changed and it seemed to fit in with the fit of rage I had earlier.

"There is no known way to reverse the effects of the Darkness. But if caught early an individual may be able to control it."

I scan the pages for further instructions on how I might be able to control the darkness but nothing. Tears fall from my eyes and I throw the book across the room. Screaming angry as it hits the wall and falls to the ground.

"Elsa? What's wrong?" Anna asks creeping through the door.

"Get out Anna!" I shriek standing up and walking over to her. "Get out now!" I shove her out into the hallway. "Stay away from me!"

I shut the doors again in tears I obviously cannot control my rage and walk over to the table. Taking out paper and ink. Writing to my sister in a letter may be a safer option than to speak with her.

Anna,

After looking through our families magical Archives I've finally found what I think may be happening to me. I'm turning dark, I'm turning into an Evil version of myself. We already know how dangerous I could be with the Ice power I already possess. I don't want to be a danger to you and to Arendelle. I love you no matter what I might say. There is no way to change what I'm becoming, and even though attempting to control it is an option. So far I'm failing, If darkness wins and I change. Please do what is best for everyone, even though I might still be your sister. I am not myself.

Elsa.

I fold up the letter and walk into my sisters room placing it on her bed. As soon as the paper leaves my hand. I'm plagued with an extreme pain in my head. Causing me to curl up on the floor nails digging into my head silently screaming as more tears fall steady from my eyes. I'm able to get up after a while as the pain subsides. Yet before leaving I catch a glance of myself in the mirror.

Yellow eyes.

Another appearance change. My heart sinks, at yet another step closer for the darkness to consume me completely. At this point, I just want to consider giving up. My pathetic attempts at control aren't getting me anywhere. I should lock myself up before I hurt anyone.

After crying in the gardens for a while from the shock of my sisters sudden rage towards me. I slowly walk up to my room. The entire world seems to emit a melancholy feeling. Nothing seems happy, I'm not even happy and my wedding is supposed to be in a few days.

I open the door and walk into my room a paper folded up sits on my bed. A letter from my sister explaining everything, and confirming one of my greatest fears. The fact that I might lose my sister and that I have no control over it.

I sit on the bed reading the letter to myself over and over. If Elsa were to turn dark then what would I do. I'm obviously nowhere near ready to be Queen. I breathe in deeply all I want to do is cry, but I've already done enough and my body is too exhausted and dehydrated for any more tears. I try to convince myself there's no way I'll lose Elsa. But the fact is, I just might.

"Elsa?" I creep into my sisters room.

"Get out of my room Anna, before I hurt you." Elsa says with a shaken voice. "Please."

I walk closer to her. Her hair is entirely black, like a sky without stars. She turns to me, I can see her eyes have changed. The yellow startles me but I still shift closer and Elsa moves away.

"Anna I'm going dark... You have to get out of here, you can't stop this. It's consuming me."

I look down disappointed. "Please Elsa I know you can fight this."

"Anna!" she yells. "GET OUT! PLEASE!" Elsa voice grows in volume. "I'd don't want to risk hurting you. I love you."

I smile. "See Elsa? You still Love me, you haven't turned dark yet. You can still fight it."

My sister walks over to me. I can tell she's trying so hard to conceal rage. But she hugs me tight for a moment the pulls away. "I do love you, Anna. But I can't control this., you have to go. Now... Please."

I walk around the study one last time. My fits of rage have started to become more common, last longer and grow in intensity.

"Your Majesty are you sure?"

I nod. "Yes, this is what is best. It will ensure Arendelle and my sister are kept safe."

"You don't have to do this, Elsa. We can always try and figure something out."

I smile taking her hand. The old lady had been here since before I was born. "I know this will take over me. It's going to consume me. But at least I can still make the choice to protect who I love while I've still got some good left in me."

Gerda sighs softly. "You are such a lovely young woman. I'm so sorry this happened to you."

I don't reply as I start to feel angry. I back away but fail to conceal my rage. Screaming at the old woman anyways. But as soon as it ends she's still standing there.

"We have to do it now... Before I end up killing someone."

"Shall I get your sister."

I nod slowly and stand in front of the window looking down at the kingdom of Arendelle below. Two men enter the room along with my sister.

"Elsa? What's this about. Gerda told me its very important."

I take her hand and sit down with her. "I can't stay here, it's not safe. I can't go anywhere either and endanger any other lands." I look at Anna sadly. She jumps into my arms. She knows.

"You promised me you would be there to see me get married Elsa, you promised me." she cries. "You said you'd be there for me and that you were going to help me."

"There will be other people here to help you Anna."

"But Elsa I want you! I need you! You're the Queen I'm not ready to be the Queen I can't do it."

"You have too... Anna. I've resigned from my position." I take a document and hand it to her. "You're going to have to sign this Anna... for me, for Arendelle for yourself. It will keep you safe."

"I can't sign your death sentence Elsa. I won't."

I close my eyes and breathe in deeply. "You have to."

I look at my sister tears running down my face. I jump into her arms and hold her tightly. "I can't Elsa I just can't I love you too much."

"Anna, I know but nothing can be done about this... I love you more than anything. So I have to protect you, soon the evil will consume me and I'll be blinded by darkness."

I sniffle and pull away from her. "But you were supposed to be here on my wedding day Elsa... Remember us sitting out by the lake?" I ask in a shaky voice, face stained with tears. "You were teasing me about having kids." I smile for only a second but then begin crying again. "Elsa I'm going to miss you so much."

"I know Anna, I'm scared. I don't want to leave you. This is a difficult choice for me. But I care about you too much to put you in danger."

"Do you have to die?" I ask. "You can't be locked away or go back to the North Mountain."

Elsa shakes her head and looks directly at me. "I'll be a danger anywhere I go this is the way it has to be."

My heart shatters, I can't speak anymore a large lump forms in the back of my throat. "We were separated for thirteen years... and we haven't even been back together for one."

Elsa sighs deeply. "I'm going back to my room. They're going to lock me in until tomorrow."

"You mean its already tomorrow... Elsa? No, no that's too soon please. Please spend one day with me... Elsa please." I beg not able to stop myself from crying.

"I could hurt you."

"I'll take that risk... If you will."

"Okay Anna, one more day. But we're not leaving the castle grounds." I look at her using a serious tone.

Anna nods trying to stop her tears "Thank you Elsa." she cries cuddling into me again. "I can't believe Hans did this to you and that nobody can find him anywhere."

"Shhh, Anna you're going to be just fine without me. Kristoff if going to take care of you... You two will make wonderful rulers."

Anna pulls away and looks me in the eyes. "But I won't have you Elsa... I would give up anything, everything to have you with me."

I smile softly touched at Anna's kind words and start crying too. "Anna you're breaking my heart, I don't know how I'm going to say goodbye."

"You don't have to Elsa... we can find a way to save you." Anna says hopefully.

I shake my head, I know by reading in that book there's no way to reverse the effects "I promised you I would spend one last day with you Anna, and I will. Tomorrow you and I will do anything you want."

Anna nods she hangs her head low. "I'm just don't want to lose you Elsa... I love you so much... I just I wish you could stay."

"I wish that too."

I wake up in the morning feeling happy. I was supposed to die today, but instead I get to spend it with my sister. I get one more day of freedom.

Soon Anna comes into my room I put my hands on her shoulders. "Let's try to make this a happy day. Okay? as if tomorrow is a mystery."

Anna and I walk in the castle gardens and sit by the pond. "I can't help but this about it Elsa... It's heartbreaking... I just I can't even begin to comprehend my life without you."

I force a smile and put an arm around her. "Well I still hope you remember what I told you about having kids, and that you're only nineteen." I hold her close to me.

"I remember Elsa." Anna smiles. "I'll be careful I promise." she says as she splashes me with water from the pond.

"Hey!" I laugh. "What was that for!" splashing her back I soak the front of her dress.

"You're gonna get it Elsa!" Anna yells at me as I back away from her laughing at her tiny water soaked form standing near the pond. Minutes later the two of us are soaking wet. Anna looks up at me and opens her mouth to say something by stops. She just continues to look into my eyes for the longest time seemingly confused.

"Anna what's wrong?"

"Elsa your eyes!" I say cheerfully smiling up at her.

"What about them?" Elsa asked me confused at my sudden cheerfulness.

"Elsa your eyes are blue again." I smile "They're blue!" I pause to take a deep breath. "You think this darkness is fading?"

Elsa goes over to the edge of the pond and looks at her reflection. A tiny strip of her hair turns back into a platinum blonde. I smile walking up to her and hugging her tightly. "I don't understand, the book said theres no way to reverse the effects, that no magic could undo it."

"We don't always need to understand things. We can just be glad they happened, like now you can see me get married, and be Queen again. You don't have to die to protect anyone Elsa." I hold her tightly keeping her close.

"What if I start going dark again?" Elsa questions.

"Then we figure it out."
