Chapter 11

"The heart of the mountain." Anna placed her hand on the rock and began walking inside. Slowly the princess began to go further into the cave.

"Princess Anna."

"I will not stop!" she called without looking back. "We are so close and without this magic crystal my sister is going to die. I won't lose her." she called back to the captain. Walking further in for about an hour Anna was growing tired.

She say against the wall and sighed. "Princess, I am so sorry but we've been walking for so long. Maybe we should stop and spend the night."

Anna cried silently into her hands. "I don't think Elsa can survive that long. She hasn't been awake in such a long time."

"I know, but Anna you are exhausted. You must rest."

Anna looked at the captain for a moment then thought. "I did not come all this way for nothing, my sister needs me now and I will not return to Arendelle without getting that ice crystal. She needs it."

The princess stood and brushed off her clothing. "We must hurry."

Elsa was not doing well, everyone was concerned about the Queen and nobody outside the two doctors had seen her in many days.

"She's still so cold Edith I don't know if she can hold on much longer. Princess Anna better hurry."

"The princess has been gone almost a day Lillian, I'm not sure she will return in time."

Elsa moved slightly she could hear everything, she heard about Anna and that she went somewhere to try and find something that might help her.

"Ooooh." Edith Exclaimed. "Lillian she moved!"

Lillian came over and grabbed the Queens hand. "Elsa, darling your sister will be back soon. You hold on a while longer for us alright?"

A knock sounded on the very quietly and Edith went over to open the door. "How is Queen Elsa." the voice asked in a soft tone, one full of concern.

"She is very very sick. If the princess does not make it back soon she will die." Edith took in the shocked face.

"Edith! Come come." Lillian scolded. "We are supposed to be caring for the Queen, nobody is to know what terrible conditions she is in."

Edith sat in a chair and monitored her, checking heart rate. "She's not doing too well. Her pulse is really slow."

Lillian sighed. "There is little we can do Edith I fear greatly for her life." Edith looked down at the pale blonde.

"How will we ever tell Princess Anna."

"We better hope we don't have too."

Edith and Lillian continued to care for Elsa, hoping she would stay alive long enough for Anna to get back and that she had a way to save her sister.

"Do you think Princess Anna will find a way to save Queen Elsa? She's been gone an awfully long time Lillian what if she is lost somewhere or was killed? The Princess may be in danger!" Edith looked over to her friend concerned as she pulled another blanket over Elsa.

"Edith you must trust that the Princess will find a way she loves her sister and would do absolutely anything for her. We must have hope that Anna will find a way to save her, and that she will return home soon."

Lillian was very concerned about Elsa not only was her condition growing worse but she was getting colder by the minute.

Even as she was so sick Queen Elsa could hear everything. She knew Anna had left to find something to try and save her she knew that she was so close to death and if her sister did not hurry she may not survive. Elsa heard the two doctors fussing over how cold she was, and she knew it her whole body felt like it was frozen in ice. Which worried her, the cold never bothered her not once, not until she got sick. It was abnormal for her to feel so frozen.

"Edith, I think we should let the Queen rest, we must work in silence do she can sleep in peace. She might be able to hear us and there is enough stress on her as it is." Lillian whispered

"Of course." Edith replied replenishing some of the logs in the fireplace so that the fire burned bigger and brighter creating more warmth for the frozen Queen.

Getting up quietly Edith slowly made her way over to Elsa and squeezed her hand tightly. "Hang in there Elsa, you don't worry about a thing, your sister is safe and we know you'll be just fine, now rest. Everything is going to be okay." Edith assured in a whisper. Letting go of Elsa's hand and walking to the two chairs by the window. She sat silently with Lillian for the longest time keeping close eyes on Queen Elsa.
