Hey guys! sorry this is late again i'm really trying to get them done on time but school has been crazy! I have gotten a couple requests of ideas for the story, however I'm not really taking ideas at the moment but maybe a little later into it. The ideas that you guys sent were really good and I would love it if you wrote them! I'd love to read them! Thanks again for all the support guys. :) Enjoy chapter 4!

These thoughts of guilt still puzzled Anna as the sun rose early that morning.

Now, the princess was really tired. She ached all over, her face was flushed and her head was extremely fuzzy. She untangled herself from Elsa's embrace and sat up. Sighing, she looked around the room. There were about 15 more snowgies sleeping peacefully throughout Elsa's chamber, snuggled into every nook and cranny.

She must have sneezed again during the night.. Anna thought.

She looked at her sister, her chest rose and fell evenly, and the color was returning to her pale skin. She looked much better than she had the day before. This comforted Anna, knowing her sister was going to be okay.

She put her hand to the elders cheek, still feeling a little bit too much heat from her skin.

"I'm sorry," Anna whispered, "Whatever I did… I'm sorry."

Not able to sit still any longer she stood, her feet colliding with the cold floor. She shivered. Was it unnaturally cold in here or was it just her?

Deciding Elsa probably unintentionally dropped the temperature of the room again, she brushed the thought off.

Now, to deal with the snowgies...

It was still early. Too early for Kristoff to be up she was sure, so what was she to do with them?

She heard a crash from down the hall. Curiosity getting the best of her, she attempted to smooth down her unruly bed head, and rushed out of the room.

Realizing that the sounds were coming from Olaf's room, she walked to his door and knocked on the solid oak frame lightly.

"Olaf?" She whispered through the door. " is Everything okay in there?"

"Come in!" Shouted a slightly nervous voice.

Anna opened the door to see the dozens of snowgies terrorizing the poor snowman's room. They were jumping off of snow piles, on top of his bedside table and running amuck causing Olaf to run around constantly to keep them from breaking anything.

"I think they need to go to Marshmallow... Now..." Olaf said grabbing two off the top of the bed railing that were about to jump into a pile of fresh snow.

Anna suppressed a giggle, covering her mouth with her hand. It was a funny sight, but in all seriousness, Olaf was right; they couldn't stay here. They were getting too bored, a concept Anna understood all too well.

Now that she knew her way to the North Mountain; it only took her about an hour round trip. She had been with Elsa couple times to visit Marshmallow and make sure the castle was doing alright, and was confident of the route.

"We can take them." Anna said, knowing that if they hurried she'd be back in time for her first council meeting of the day. She suddenly felt a tickling in her nose, she tried to ignore it but she couldn't, suddenly interrupted by a soft sneeze. She half expected snowgies to appear.

"Are you sure?" Olaf said peering up at her. Much like Elsa the day before, her skin was unnaturally pale all except for her cheeks, which were bright red. He looked at her eyes, the normal sparkle was dulled, they were red rimmed and watering from the sides. She didn't look like the hyperactive princess Olaf was used to seeing. "You don't really seem up to it." The snow man said, turning to run after another snowgie that had jumped on his head, pushing his 'hair' of twigs into his head.

"I'm okay, I'm just tired. I didn't exactly get the best nights sleep." Anna admitted, grabbing two snowgies in her hands that were about to go for the candle on the bedside table. "Gotcha!" she said.

"We should go soon then." Olaf said still struggling to control the herd of white, "I don't know how much longer I can do this!" He admitted.

"Just give me a couple of minutes to get dressed and tell Kai and Gerda where we're going." Anna said turning to leave the room, accidentally letting one snowgie out. "No no no! Come back little snowgie!" Anna shouted at the scurrying creature.

"His name is Edmond!" Olaf shouted, still chasing after his troublesome brothers.

"Okay then, come back Edmond!" Anna repeated. It was no use, 'Edmond' went running into Anna's room. Oh well, Anna thought, At least it's only one.

Closing the door before anymore could escape, she stumbled towards her room. The door was open a crack, as it always was. Pushing open the door she was met with the sight of Edmond snuggled under her covers, he smiled up at her. The girl couldn't help but smile. They're just too cute she thought.

Pulling out her winter outfit out of the back of her dresser, she changed quickly, putting her hair into two braids and catching her reflection in the mirror.

Wow… she thought. I really do look awful.

Her cheeks were flushed, and there were circles underneath her eyes. Her nose was red, and her head hurt terribly.

I can't be sick. … the princess thought. If what Elsa said the past night was true, it was Anna's fault that all of this had happened. She had obviously done something that caused Elsa to accidentally strike her with her powers, she'd always been clumsy, and her actions are what caused Elsa to go into isolation.

If she hadn't done whatever she did, Elsa wouldn't be sick right now from lack of contact with the outside world and quite possibly, her parents wouldn't be dead. These thoughts that Anna had tried to push out of her mind all night suddenly demanded to be felt. She let a tear escape from her eye, wiping it away as it rolled down her cheek.

She needed to get out of here. There were too many emotions in this castle and right now she needed to be away from it all. She knew she didn't feel well, but right now that didn't matter.

Besides, seeing that everything was all her fault and she had caused enough trouble to last a lifetime, it was the least she could do to bring the snowgies up to Marshmallow before they caused more trouble to the kingdom.

She wasn't sick, she was simply tired from working so hard, Anna concluded. And even if she was sick, it was probably just a cold. Condition or no condition, she had not been isolated for 14 years like her sister. She'd had plenty of colds before, and could handle another any day.

Sliding on her boots and grabbing her raspberry cloak from its hook by the door, she scooped up Edmond and headed back towards Olaf's room.

"Come on silly." She said reaching for the door handle "Back you go- ah - achoo!" Anna was cut off by a loud sneeze. Edmond looked up at her with big eyes and a frown, almost as if he knew her secret.

"I'm fine." She told him, telling herself more than the little snow man.
She could see the doubt in his eyes.

After putting Edmond back in Olaf's room and promising to be right back, Anna went down the stairs to the servants' quarters.

On her way down, she noticed her presents had been retrieved from the clock tower and were now on the dining room table. The Olaf cuckoo clock read 6:30. Wow, she thought. I really am up early.

Deciding it was too early to wake either Gerda or Kai up, she wrote a note instead.

Grabbing a quill and parchment from the study, she quickly wrote a note and left it on the dining room table, knowing that it was the first place they looked for Anna in the morning. They more than anyone knew the princess loved to eat.

"Good morning Gerda and Kai! I went to drop off more snowgies with Olaf. I will be back before the council meeting starts, promise!
~Anna"

Returning the quill to its place, she hurried up the stairs, stopping at the top coughing loudly and gripping the railing. Her chest burned and her head was spinning.

Right. She thought, maybe running isn't such a good idea today.

Gathering all her strength, she pushed off the railing and walked towards Olaf's room, a smile plastered on her face. She was confident that if she pushed through this, like she did everything else, everything would turn out just fine.

She pushed open the door and the mob of snowgies erupted out the door, nearly knocking Anna over in the process.

"Let's go!" Olaf shouted riding on top of the herd of tiny snowmen. They picked up Anna and the next thing they knew the two of them had been swept down the stairs, through the castle, and were outside in the courtyard.

Gently placing the princess and snowman down, the snowgies peered up at them expectantly. Anna coughed into her sleeve, trying to hide her fatigue from Olaf, who was too busy doing a head count to notice anyways.

"327, perfect!" He said, clapping his hands in delight.

Anna's eyes widened, were there really that many? She thought to herself.

"Let's get you home little guys." She said, beginning to tread carefully around the mob of white that surrounded her.

They began the trek towards the North Mountain, passing through the courtyard. The village houses which were beginning to come to life as the sun filled the windows. The town was waking up, just like the sky.

Olaf sang softly as they passed by the school and business quarters and out of the main circle. Anna suppressed a fever induced chill, and continued to walk, pulling her cloak over her shoulders. It was unusually cold in Arendelle for spring, and Anna usually put her cloak on when they were much closer to the ice palace. They hadn't even reached the mountain yet and she was absolutely freezing.

The gang passed by a group of woman, obviously out for the morning on some sort of outing. They bowed when they saw the princess and curiously eyed the mob of snowgies. She had forgotten that not everybody knew about Elsa's condition, or the little snowmen that came with it.

But what perplexed her was how the three village women were wearing short sleeved dresses, when Anna was cold in her thick winter clothing and cloak. It just didn't make sense. Not in the least.

Elsa tossed and turned in her bed, entangling herself in the thick layers of blankets Anna had placed over her the night before. The bed seemed empty, too empty, and even though she was not awake; she had a strange feeling that something was wrong.

She moaned, turning over and opening her eyes to the sunlight that shone through her window. She noticed Anna was no longer in the bed beside her.

I wonder where she went? Elsa wondered, knowing that the princess usually slept as much as she absolutely could.

What if something is wrong... It's still really early…. Anna's never up this early. Elsa thought looking at the clock above her dresser. It read 7:15. If Anna was up this early, Elsa decided, something must be wrong.

She sniffed, noticing her head was much clearer than it was the day before. My fever must have broken, she thought, happy that she was getting over this intolerable illness. She slowly swung her legs over the side of the bed, assessing how she felt with each movement.

Her long pale legs found the floor, and the queen tested her balance. She was a little wobbly at first, having to clutch to the bed frame as she pulled on her robe over her nightshirt. She looked on the mirror to find her hair in a large snarl, resembling her sisters own bed head. She smiled, noticing the purple bags under her eyes. The queen admitted she didn't look the best, but she was better than she was yesterday, and that was a start.

Attempting to braid the clump of blonde hair, Elsa slowly made her way across the room to the door. Now, she thought, to find Anna.

Anna coughed into her sleeve, her breathing getting more ragged. Her throat was on fire, and her vision was beginning to blur. She'd been sick before, and she'd always pushed through it. She had to keep going, with Elsa sick she was in charge. She couldn't let her sister down. Not again.

Olaf was getting increasingly concerned for the young princess as she staggered along. He had seen her like this before and it had resulted in her turning to pure ice. He never wanted to see her like that again. He walked up to her, holding his twig arms out to spot her as she swayed along.

"Anna ... maybe you should go back.." He suggested, steadying her as she began to fall to the right. "I can handle this myself." Olaf offered, this time counterbalancing her to the left.

"No Olaf, I won't let you go alone." Anna insisted, pulling her cloak even tighter around her shivering body.

Anna felt responsible for the snowgies and wanted to make sure that they got to the ice castle safety. She also didn't trust Olaf to find his way home without getting lost. As much as she loved the snowman, she knew that he didn't exactly have the greatest sense of direction..

The snowgies trailed Anna, gazing at her with frowns, as though they knew something was wrong. They hummed softly as Anna struggled to walk up the path that led to the North Mountain.

As they walked, the temperature gradually grew colder and snow began to appear. Elsa had made the mountain permanently cold and snowy so Marshmallow, and now the snowgies, would always have a home.

Anna squinted into the distance, she could see the ice castle.

"Come on guys... We're half way there!"

Now sturdy on her feet, Elsa glided out the door of her bedroom and down the stairs. The most likely place for Anna to be at this hour was the kitchen. Sleeping and eating were her top priorities, and Elsa too of course.

"Anna?" Elsa called gently, peeking her pale face into the dining room, and trying not to strain her voice. Her throat barely hurt at that moment, but she didn't want to push it.

There was no Anna in the dining room, but Elsa did spot a note resting on the table. She walked over, peering at the parchment with the obvious handwriting of her sister.

Over the years, before Elsa had opened her doors, literally and figuratively, Anna had given up on trying to talk to her sister and started writing instead. She would slip the notes under Elsa's door almost every night. She wrote about how much she missed her, and how her days were spent on school and wandering the castle alone. Elsa knew her writing like the back of her very own hand.

Elsa read the note, puzzled about why her sister had written that she would be attending a council meeting... That was the queens job... Unless... Had Anna been taking on her responsibilities while she was sick? The thought of who would be in charge hadn't even crossed her mind until that moment. And why would she be taking the snowgies to Marshmallow so early? Anna always slept as much as she could…. It was all very strange.

"Looking for her too?" A familiar voice said. The queen turned around to see Kristoff leaning against the door frame of the dining room. "Wow, you look so much better!" The man said, a huge smile on his face.

"Thank you," Elsa started, "I feel much better, and yes actually. Apparently she's taken the snowgies to Marshmallow..." Elsa said, waving the note so Kristoff could see.

Kristoff's eyes widened. "What? .. She went all the way to the North Mountain?" He questioned, "That's too much.." He said quietly, scratching his head.

"What's too much?" Elsa asked, confused. "Anna and I go there all the time. ..She knows that walk like the back of her hand."

Kristoff sighed, he had promised Anna that he would not tell Elsa what was going on... but this was dangerous… She'd already been pushing herself and this trip to the North Mountain could easily set her over the edge.

"We need to go.. Now." Kristoff said, turning on his heels and heading towards the front door.

"What? Go where? Why?" The queen asked, sprinting to catch up to the broad man.

"Elsa..." He said, stopping for a moment and turned towards the worried queen. "There's something you should know."
