Fire and Ice Chapter 2

Anna could barely breath . Her appearance had changed, fire had shot out of her hand. She had powers... just like Elsa...

The fir- HER fire, shot out of her hand again, and Anna screamed as her blankets and clothes caught fire. Elsa's ice shot out of her own hands in a straight line and the ice queen stood up, moving her hands to cover the entire mass of the blanket.

A stray flame burned Elsa on her leg. She hissed in pain as she iced it over, and a black streak appeared in her hair.

Meanwhile, Anna struggled against the iced over sheets. Unbeknownst to her, a stick like ice shard was impaling her shoulder to the bed post. The white streak appeared in her hair again, and Anna gulped and twisted her shoulder. She hissed as the ice shifted in her shoulder and willed her magic to work, melting the ice into water that ran down her back. Then the wound began to heal.

The sisters looked at each other, realizing what happened... "We hurt each other," Elsa breathed, and Anna nodded. The rest of the ice over melted and Anna got out of bed, the hem of her nightgown brushing her ankles.

"I know who we must visit," Elsa said, and Anna nodded in agreement, "the trolls. We will make an announcement and then depart. Get changed first."

The queen left her sister's room while Anna studied her new appearence in the mirror. Her body and hair held the exact same shape and style they were before. Her hair was darker, a fire red, with the white streak. Her eyes were now a fire red color, and her skin was paler but still freckled.

Anna cupped her cheek and blinked. Her skin was warm to the touch, but it didn't hurt.

It felt wonderful.

Anna went to her closet and rummaged around before she found something she was looking for. It was a steampunk-like red dress that ended at her knees with a vertical striped red and black corset that showed around her waist with short puffy sleeves. Anna slipped on some black leather riding boots that ended just below her knees, put her hair in a low ponytail, donned some short black gloves, and rushed out her room, peeking in and evaporating the water.

Elsa was still staring at her appearance with slight shock. Her eyes were a lighter blue then before, an ice blue, and her hair was now white with a black streak in it. Elsa then sighed and used her magic to change her clothes into a blue cuffed sleeve dress with a long skirt. The skirt had a slit in it, just like the dress she normally wore, and short ankle length riding boots were on her feet. A sheer cape was behind her. Elsa pulled short, white wrist length gloves on her hands that were identical to Anna's except in color. She stretched and sighed, and heard a knock on her door.

"Come in," the queen said, and turned to see her sister in her clothing. Elsa smiled, "You look beautiful."

Anna smiled, "Thanks, you do as well." They walked out of the room, and turned a corner and encountered a royal guard. He bowed immediately, "Your Majesty, Your Highness. What may I do to serve you?"

"Let the citizens know that we plan to make an announcement about my sister's current condition," Elsa ordered, "and prepare our horses." The guard bowed and nodded, "As you wish." Then he walked away, tapping another royal guard and telling him to prepare the sister's horses.

"Why can't we inquire to Kristoff about it?" Elsa asked Anna.

"He's off visiting his family, who live in another kingdom," Anna responded, "and his sled can't go through grass."

Elsa nodded and a servant approached the two, bowing, "The citizens are gathered in the square to hear the announcement."

"Thank you," Elsa said, and the two walked past. The citizens of Arendelle gasped and started to whisper amongst themselves.

"What happened to Princess Anna?"

"Why is her hair and eyes red?"

"Is she a vampire?"

"Whats with the black streak in the queen's hair?"

"Quiet, everyone," Elsw said, raising her hands, "quiet, please!"

The citizens eventually quieted down.

"Thank you," Elsa said, clasping her hands together in front of her, "there is no reason to fret, my sister is fine."

The crowd was silent.

"If I may, my queen," A man said, walking foward and bowing, "what has occurred? Something has happened, clearly, as the princess" -he nodded his head towards Anna- "looks different."

Elsa nodded, "Yes, Anna has developed fire powers."

There was a collective gasp from the crowd, and all eyes fell upon the redhead. Anna returned their gazes, and felt the warm heat of her fire engulf her hands and slowly burn her gloves away.

"Because of this," the younger royal said, "We must journey to the trolls so we can find out what to do next." Two royal guards brought their horses out and the sisters walked forward, mounting their horses.

"We will be back soon," Anna continued, "and there may be a few mishaps along the way, but we can get through this."

Anna clicked her tounge and her horse set off at a canter, headed towards the woods.
