Author's Note: First day of vacations! I'm loving it!, I have so many projects on mind! I will keep submiting but as well I will spend my time with other matters so please stay tune but I hope to be constant in the updating! So this is a bit short, but it includes a well know character that I was missing.
As soon as the fire was stable and steamy at the chimney, the entrance door opened and the cool air came in.
"We are back!" yelled David entering the room with the others "We found the Snow Queen, she is up deep in the woods"
"How did you found her?"
"We had little help" he moved aside and the tall ice man was in her sight.
"Kristoff!" she exclaimed trying to stand to hug him "I am so glad you are alright"
"Elsa! Gosh, Anna and I have look all over for you! I'm so happy you are alive!" he hugged his sister in law "When they told me they knew you I couldn't believe it, but you are here!" then he inspected her more carefully, she was shaking, paler than usual "wait, why are you…?" he had seen that once before, with the love of his life "Ice in your heart? But how-?"
"I am guessing they didn't fill you in with details" she whispered exhaling "Mother is…the Snow Queen that captured Anna"
"What?!" he turned to the people that had found him "She has Anna?! Why didn't you told me so when we were up in the woods?!" he demanded furiously.
"We knew you would try to save her if we did and we need a plan"
"Of course I would try to save her! She is everything to me!"
"Kristoff" said calmly Elsa "Is alright, I want to save her just as much as you do, but mother could kill you in the blink of an eye, and I am sure Anna wouldn't survive if she saw you die" she curled faintly the corners of her lips "I know my sister wouldn't want to raise your child as a widow"
"You know that-! me, I mean, how did you-? Our baby, Anna and I, it was a secret and I, I did had your blessing so-"
"I know, she told me all, and I did granted my blessing and it only brings joy to me that you can granted my wish to become an aunt" suddenly her features became sullen "but that will only happen if you both live and that child is born and safe from my mother"
"So…what do we do?" he asked in defeat.
She took a deep breath "I won't turn into an ice statue, my fate is far worse by becoming like her, so… I will go willingly to mother. I will trade my life for Anna's, once you have her, take her somewhere safe, I will face my mother alone"
"You can't!" everyone at the room thought the same.
"I will, I am still your Queen, Kristoff and it is an order you keep the Princess well and alive"
"Sorry, but your rules don't apply to us and we certainly won't let you face the Snow Queen, let alone go to her willingly" intervened David
"She won't hurt me" said Elsa coolly "but she won't doubt even for a second to harm you all" she gazed at all of them "you have done and sacrificed plenty for my sake, is my turn to return the favor"
"What if you turn to be like your mother?"
"Then you face me as you would do any other villain" she said softly.
"We couldn't, not to you"
"You must" she said in pleading voice.
"Anna would never forgive herself if her life was trade for your" said Kristoff "And she wouldn't forgive me either if allowed that to happen"
"I know what I must do" she exhaled "is not like if we had many options either. My heart won't stop freezing and apparently no act of true love is enough, so I might as well go to her"
"Is your decision final?"
"It is" she said with strong posture.
"Elsa, let me give you advice" said Rumple going to her side "the ice in your mother's heart never completely melted, the smallest bit grew up to turn her into…the Snow Queen. But, the smallest bit of her original loving heart can withdraw the ice if you warm up to her, get the good out of her and don't let her turn you to something you are not. Fear is your enemy. The mother you knew when you were a kid, is the true nature of the cold hearted woman out there"
"That just makes it impossible for me to stop her, I can't harm her"
"That's exactly right, you won't harm her and she won't expect you to melt her, that's why it will work"
"You really think so?"
"As the Dark One, I know how magic works, and I can see the tiniest sparkle in anyone's heart, I know yours shines with the brightest light. Don't let her manipulate you, she knows you better than any, she raised you. Make her recall why life is worth fighting for. If you believe even for a second that she has won, and you succumb to your fear then it will be your doom"
Elsa inhaled deeply "Then we shall see if love can really melt a frozen heart"
A/N: Hope you liked it!
