CHAPTER TWO: A MOTHER'S LOVE

Everyone was sleeping in the castle of Dunbroch except for one princess. It was still midnight when Merida woke up and hopped on her sister's bed.

"Elsa! Elsa! Wake! Wake up!"

"Merida go back to sleep."

"The sun will rise soon so we better wake up and play!"

"Merida it's too early."

"C'mon now! Wake up! Wake up! Let's play!"

"Go play by yourself!"

Elsa shoved her sister off her bed. Merida fell on the floor with a thud and pouted for her sister's action but then a bright smile beamed on her face and hopped back to the bed and opened her sister's eyes.

"Do you wanna build a snowman?"

Since she loved her sister so much, how can she resist that request from her? Merida was actually giving her a cutty puppy look eyes which cause her to giggle. Merida was holding her hands as they were running down the stairs going to their playroom. As they were inside the room, both girls spun around producing tiny fits of cute laughter.

"Do the magic! Do the magic!" Merida giggled and Elsa made her sister's request. She formed a snow ball on her hands and throws it up in the air creating falling snowflakes. Elsa discovered her magic when she was 6 years old. They were having a picnic party outside their castle when Mor'du tries to attack them and due to her fear, she accidentally created an ice barrier to serve as their protection from the bear. At first, she isolated herself from others including her sister and her family for some reasons that she feels different and afraid that she might hurt someone. This broke the king and queen hearts, without hesitation, they talked to their daughter and explained that everyone is different in their own ways. That the magical power she possessed is a gift and should be embraced. With that words coming from her mother and father, she somehow managed to control her powers but there were still times that fear took over her.

"This is amaziiiiiinnnnggg!" As the snowflakes fell all over the room Merida spun around and giggling. The two princesses were having fun for almost 2 hours in the snowy room. Snowball fight, creating snowman and other things that a child would normally do when they are in a snow. As the two girls were playing and having fun with each other, the queen was actually behind the door, peaking at her two daughters and smiled showed on her face. Seeing her two wee darlings makes her happy. She knew that the bond they have will never be torn easily. She opened the door and walked decently. Merida was so busy creating her snowball that she actually didn't noticed that their mother was walking towards them. When Elsa saw her mother, she felt nervousness because she knows how strict her mother is. The temperature on the room dropped low and Queen Elinor rubbed her arms as she was getting closer to her two daughters. Merida throws a snowball on Elsa hitting her on the side of her head which made her to shot a glare to her sister. Merida laughed loudly for her sister's reaction.

"Why are you two are still awake?" The queen knelt down until she was the same height with her daughters.

"Mum." The two girls made a sarcastic smile to their mother.

"Come here." The queen instructed sternly and the two princesses made a deep sighed. They approached their mother nervously then suddenly the queen pulled her two daughters towards her enveloping them to her arms and landed a lot of kisses on their faces which made Merida and Elsa laughed loudly.

"Mama stop it!" the two chore and their mother smiled at them. The room temperature becomes normal. When Elinor stopped tickling her daughter by landing kisses on their face, Elsa asked her mother anxiously.

"You're not mad mama?"

"Of course not dear! Why would I?"

Merida jumped out of her mother's lap and picked up a snow to form a small snowball on her hand. As her mother was busy looking at her sister, she used the time to launch the snowball and it directly hit her mother's face causing Elsa's eyes to become wide open. Elinor pouted and the two princesses chuckled.

"You wanna play huh?" Elinor smiled and the two girls glance and nodded at each other and run away from their mother.

"I'm, going to gobble you up when I catch you!" The queen joined her two daughters from playing and the room was filled with happiness at that moment. After some hours, the three of them got tired and Elinor notices that the two were now rubbing their eyes and fighting for their drowsiness. The queen smiled and regained her posture.

"Alright it's time to head you back to sleep." The queen smiled and the two girls nodded. They run to their mother and grabbed her hands while they were heading back to their room.

"Goodnight Merida. I love you"

"I love you too mum." The queen tucked her eldest daughter to her bed followed by Elsa.

"Goodnight Elsa. I love you."

Suddenly Elsa wrapped her arms around her mother's neck and tears rolled down from her cheeks.

"I love you too mum. Mum?"

"Aye love what is it?" Elinor wipes her daughter's tears and Elsa looked at her sadly.

"Mum don't leave us."

As those words came from Elsa, Hearing this from a 8 years old child broke her heart. She wanted to say that no one lives forever but at this moment all she needs to do is to calm her daughter. Elinor knew that Elsa was the opposite of Merida. Merida is so talkative, playful and more way stubborn just like her father while Elsa is timid, sensitive, more serious, act more like a princess and older sister and thinks more maturely. But one thing that she doesn't like about her, there are times that fear and anger controlled her which made her worried sometimes.

"Oh Elsa." The queen places here hands on her daughter's cheeks and smiled at her.

"Remember this I'll always be here for you no matter what happen you understand that?"

Elsa nodded and hugged her mother more tightly and Elinor did the same thing.

"Mama thank you for accepting me for who I am. I love you." Elinor's eyes produce single tears due to her daughter's words. She rubbed her daughter's back to calm her down. When Elsa was on her senses, she broke off the hugged, grabbed Elsa's tiny hand and look at her with concern.

"Listen to me, I love you so much Elsa. You and Merida. You two are my most precious gift I have. and"

"and what mama?" Elsa asked with confusion on her face.

"Elsa, listen to me, don't let your thoughts control you. You must be the one in control not your thoughts you understand that?" Elsa nodded and elinor smiled at her.

"When everything seems not right, just close your eyes and remember those memories that always made you smile. It helps darling. Remember this don't let-

Fear and anger control me." The queen smiled as Elsa continued her phrase. Elsa embraces her mother tightly. She's so thankful to have a mama like her. She's always been there for her and for Merida.

"Alright love I'ts time to get you back to sleep" The queen broke off the hugged and tucked Elsa to her bed and kisses her forehead. Elinor turned off the lights and with a smile beaming on her face she closes the door silently and whisper.

"Goodnight my wee darlings. I love you."

OUTSIDE THE CASTLE:

A pale, large blonde man with black cloak standing by the bridge of Dunbroch and holding a large sword that was over his shoulder. With an evil smile, he lifted his head and whisper to himself

"Oh my fair lady, we'll see each other again. You and your little princesses.." The man walked away and headed back to the forests.
