Difficult Times

'The party is over, close the gates.'

'What? Elsa no, no, wait!' Anna grabbed Elsa's glove.

'Huh! Give me my glove!'

'Elsa, please, please, I can't live like this anymore!'

A brief silence. 'Then leave.' Anna gave her sister a shocked look as Elsa turned and started walking off.

'What did I ever do to you?!'

'Enough Anna.'

'No! Why? Why do you shut me out?! Wh-why do you shut the world out?! What are you so afraid of?!'

'I said enough!' She waved her hand angrily, accidentally shooting ice out of her hand, forming a wall of spiked ice towards Anna and the party guests. Elsa stood horrified at what she'd done.

'Sorcery.'The Duke of Weselton said backing behind one of his henchmen.'I knew there was something dubious going on here.'

Anna stood, shocked and horrified at what she saw.'Elsa.' Elsa grabbed the door handle behind her, opened the door and ran out into the hall. Elsa pressed through the castle doors. All the citizens started cheering and clapping for her. She headed through the people, only to be surrounded. One woman saw she was nervous.

'Your Majesty, are you alright?'Asked the woman with her child. Elsa backed into a fountain in the castle courtyard, freezing the fountain and forming the water into ice shaped like a wave. She turned around and saw the fountain. Oh no. She thought. The crowd around her gasped, the woman backed away clutching her child. The Duke of Weselton showed at the door with his two henchmen. 'There she is!'He yelled pointing at Elsa.'Stop her!'

'Please, just stay away from me! Stay away!"'Elsa when she accidentally shot ice out of her hand. It hit the area where the Duke was. The Duke of Weselton, along with his henchmen, slipped and fell. "Monster! Monster!" He pointed at Elsa. Then Anna and Hans appeared at the door running after Elsa.

'Elsa!'Anna yelled. Elsa turned and ran through the crowd. She opened a door that led to the edge of the lake. Anna came out of the same doorway. 'Elsa! Wait! Please!" Elsa stepped onto the lake and ice formed under her feet. Elsa looked back at Anna, then took off across the water. Anna tried to follow her, but Hans stopped her. After Anna returned to the courtyard, she proceeded to go after Elsa. Hans questioned her actions, but Anna was determined to go after Elsa.

'She's my sister, she would never hurt me.'

Hans was left in charge and Anna took off on her horse. But soon after, she had lost her horse. She then met Kristoff and Sven.

Elsa countined up to the North Mountain, where she let go of her fear and built her ice palace.

Anna, Kristoff, and Sven just met Olaf and were approaching Elsa's ice palace and were stunned by what they saw. A huge ice palace stood before them. Kristoff looked up, amazed at the beauty of the massive ice palace. Anna headed into the palace where she tried to get Elsa to come back with her. 'You need to come back to Arendalle.'

'Anna. I know you mean well, but I want to be alone.'

'But, Elsa-'

'Here, I can be free.'

'Elsa, we need to-'

'Here, I can be alone and free from the world, without hurting anybody.'Anna thought for a moment.

'I'm guessing you don't know what's happened.'Elsa was confused.

'Wait? What? What's happened?'

'Arendalle is in deep, deep, deep, deep snow.'

'What?'Elsa was shocked.

'You kinda set off an eternal winter, everywhere.'

'What?'Elsa was shocked.

'Thats okay. You can just unfreeze it.'

'No, I can't.'

She turned and started walking away from Anna, her fear was building up.'How could I have been such a fool, I can never be free.' A blizzard was forming around the room.

'We can solve this together!'Anna was moving towards Elsa, pushing against the storm.

'How did I think, I could escape the storm inside of me!'The storm intensified.

'You just need to come back, everything will be fine!'Elsa turned towards her sister.

'How do you know!? How will everything be fine!?'

'You just need to calm down. I know you can stop this.'Elsa was filled with so much fear. She tried to control it.

'I...CAN'T!'A huge burst of ice and snow blasted from Elsa and went all around the room. One hit Anna right in the heart. Anna stumbled from freezing pain, and fell over onto the icy floor. The room had red light coming from the icy walls. Elsa heard Anna shivering, and faced her.

'E-E-Els-s-sa.'Anna said, freezing. Anna's hair had turned white and she was shivering.

'Anna!'Elsa yelled. She hurried over and fell to her knees next to her sister.'Anna, I-I'm sorry!'Tears were forming in her eyes.'What have I done?'

'E-Elsa. You c-can control it.'Anna told her. Tears were now streaming from Elsa's eyes.

'H-how?'

'Y-you know how.'Anna then lost consciousness and fell into Elsa's lap.

'Anna!'She picked up Anna and held her in her arms.'A-Anna.'She sobbed.

Then Anna and Elsa woke up.

(Line Break)

Anna and Elsa woke up at exactly the same time.

"Huh!"They both gasped simultaneously. They had woken up at the exact same time, and had the exact same dream. But they were in two completely different places. It would seem as if it was some type of telepathy, with Elsa in the castle, and Anna with Kristoff and Sven in the mountains. Of, course they wouldn't know if they had the same dream.

Elsa woke up in her bed, and Anna was in Kristoff's sleigh.

Kristoff was handling his ice he had collected the past few days, when he heard Anna. He rushed over to her. "You alright?"He asked, concerned. Anna sat up and looked at her feet. She put a hand on her forehead. Whoa! She thought. Crazy dream! "Hey! Anna!"Kristoff said waving his hand trying to get Anna's attention. She was pulled from her thoughts.

"Huh? Oh, I'm fine."She said looking at him and lowering her hand. Kristoff wasn't too sure.

"You sure?"He asked.

"Yeah. I'm fine."Anna said.

"Ok, if you say so."He returned to the ice.

That was a crazy dream. Anna thought. I should talk to Elsa about it. Wait a minute? She turned around. "Kristoff!"She yelled.

"Huh?"He looked up at her."What is it?"

"We were supposed to get back by dawn!"Kristoff's eyes widened, he strapped down the last of the ice, then rushed to the front of the sleigh. Luckily Sven was already strapped to it and they were off.

Anna had travled with Kristoff and Sven to help with his ice collecting. They had dressed warmly and headed into the mountains. They had five days to collect the ice and bring it back to Arendalle, 'by order of the queen' a dignitary had said to them when they were leaving. But the truth was that Elsa never ordered them to be back in five days. She trusted Kristoff enough that she knew Anna would be alright with him. The dignitary had simply made up that they were supposed to return in five days. Now Kristoff, Anna, and Sven were hurrying down the mountain to Arendalle.

Meanwhile...

Elsa sat up on the side of her bed, she ran her hands down her face. What a horrible dream. She thought. She looked over at her bedside table. There were two letters from the kingdom of Nordelle, a kingdom whos dignitary was severly injured by her eternal winter, when they were visiting Arendalle for her coronation. One letter was from the prince of Nordelle, who said 'you will pay for your acts against Nordelle' and 'use of sorcery will be dealt with'. It had been two weeks since the eternal winter and she had received the letter a week ago.

Two days ago, she had received a package that exploded when she was opening it. She had lifted the box lid half an inch, when she heard a hissing noise. When she heard it hiss, she threw it. But it was already too late, the package exploded sending shrapnel everywhere. One piece had been lodged in Elsa's right forearm when she tried to shield herself from the blast. She had to wear bandages around her forearm. She was in the library at the time, a servant brought the package to her. When it exploded, it had shattered some windows, destroyed bookshelves, and left a hole in the floor. It exploded in mid-air, so the hole wasn't very big and it didn't go all the way through the floor. There were scorch marks and shrapnel on and imbeded in the walls. The library was off limits while repairs were being made to the damaged area. Of course, the book she was reading , and many others, were shredded as well.

The package was addressed from a home right in Arendalle. The person who lived there was Jennifer Grant, a nineteen year old girl who worked at a bakery, was imprisoned in the dungeons. Elsa wanted to deny that one of her own people, especially someone close to her own age, would want to kill her. She wanted to speak with Jennifer, but the poor girl was too scared to talk to anyone.

The second letter on Elsa's bedside table was from the king of Nordelle himself, he had a royal messenger deliver it to the Arendalle castle. He wrote saying...

Your Majesty, I sincerely apologize for my son Derek's actions in the past week. He is a young and foolish boy, and tries to solve every situation on his own. A servant of mine found him filling a package with poison filled wine bottles. They reported to me and when I saw that the package was addressed to the Arendalle, I knew he was targeting you. I have locked him in his room with the best of my guards standing at the door. His mother will see to his punishment.

I hope you don't mind me coming to Arendalle to discuss, with you, this predicament and about my injured dignitary. I look forward to meeting you in person.

Sincerely,

King Robert of Nordelle

Elsa wasn't sure about having the king of Nordelle come and talk with her. Because it could be the king conspiring against her. And, this dignitary that got injured, most likely, didn't exist. There were no reports of an severly injured dignitary in any of the medical records from any doctors in Arendalle. She believed that the king is planning something but she didn't know what. But she couldn't just let it go, there were matters to be discussed. And today was the day that the king of Nordelle was coming and she had to get ready.

Elsa stood up and looked at the letters, she picked them up. She tore them in half and crumpled them up, then walked over to her window, opened it, threw the crumpled letter out, then closed the window. Let it go, just let it go. Don't let it get to you. She thought This will all be over soon. She looked out the window. Anna, I wish you were here. She turned away and started to get ready for the day.

Meanwhile, the Nordelle king's boat was just arriving at the docks.

"Are you sure we should do this father?"

"Yes, remember what I told you. We are to make it look as if a group of rogue men from our kingdom, capture the Arendalle queen and demand ransom. Then I will investigate, find them, send men to rescue the queen and our kingdom will have fame. Remember this time, I can't keep giving you recaps." the Nordelle king said.

Derek sighed, "It just isn't right. I mean, kidnapping a queen. Is it even worth the trouble?"

"What did I tell you? Don't question the plan. It will all be worth it, you'll see over time."

"Then why am I supposed to be the leader of the rogues?"

"Because, in the end, I will spare you, as you will learn your mistake and hand over the queen. Remember, we came up with this plan together. Why can you not agree with it?"

"That was two weeks ago. I was more confident, when I did want to do something crazy."

"You will get more confidence once we pull this off and don't question the plan. Do you understand?"

"Yes, it's just-"

"Do you understand?!"The king yelled.

Derek turned away, "Yes father."He said sadly and walked away. He was not happy that he had to kidnap a queen, it was just insane. But what he thought was bad, was not as bad as what his father's true intentions were...
