A/N: Hi everyone! Thanks for your reviews and follows! I'm going back to university this week, but hopefully I'll update as frequently as I can. I have also tried to make the chapters longer.

Chapter 8

Anna looked out the window of her room, kneeling on a stool she had acquired. She looked at the falling leaves of the trees. It was nearly the end of autumn and the trees were beginning to look bare. The temperature also dropped slightly, however this did not bother Anna anyway, as she loved the cold, well specifically her sister's ice powers.

She was still a bit confused though, her little mind turning cogs in her head. For a five year old she was very inquisitive and very intelligent for her age, her mama once told her so. She missed her mama and papa slightly, however she was glad she had her sister. The absence of her parents was forgotten when Elsa was present. She was still a bit confused on why Elsa turned big. 'Was probably a troll' she thought still at awe they actually existed.

She turned to look behind her, her little body shuffling around. She looked over and saw Kai snoring slightly on a rocking chair. She let out a little huff. She was so bored; there was nothing to do in the castle. She wanted to play with her sister but she was doing grown up stuff, which she wasn't allowed to interfere with. She thought of visiting Sven but he and Kristoff were called out on an urgent call.

What was she supposed to do? An idea popped into her head. If Elsa wasn't going to play with her, than she was going to bring the fun to Elsa. She thought it was a marvellous plan, Elsa was always working hard why not help her out.

She slowly got of the chair trying to make as less noise as she could, she didn't want to wake Kai. She tip toed pass the sleeping servant, being as silent as one could be. When she successfully made her way to the door of the bedroom, she reached the handle of the door on her tip toes. She sure was getting taller!

Kai made a huge grunting noise causing Anna to jump out of her skin, when she realised Kai was still asleep she snuck out. 'Elsa's going to be thrilled for what I have planned for her'

She was so excited that she missed the step of the stairs and clambered down each step into a suit of armour. Good job she drank milk to not have a serious injury, her mama always told her milk was what kept your bones strong. She was also glad that none of the castle staff heard her.

She made her way towards the kitchen making sure she wasn't seen; otherwise she could get into trouble. She wasn't meant to be wandering the halls but Elsa didn't need to know that until she surprised her.

She skipped towards her destination slightly murmuring a slight melody that Elsa hums to her when she can't fall asleep. She could hear deep voices coming from one room, they sounded a bit funny to her. She approached the kitchen, looking through the keyhole to make sure no one was in there and surprisingly there wasn't. She wasn't supposed to go in the kitchen unattended; she wasn't sure why though, it just contained delicious food. She was a big girl as well and could handle anything!

When she opened the door that's when she saw a chocolate cake in all its glory, placed on a cart full of other puddings as well. Her mouth was drooling; she needed to have some of that cake! She took a tiny stool from beside the sink and proceeded to place it beside the cart so she could retrieve the cake. The stool slightly shook when she went to grab the cake. Once she got a handful of the rich cake, she scooped it into her mouth getting chocolate all over her face. She just loved chocolate, not caring the chocolate was over her face. She than remember her main purpose for coming to the kitchen.

Elsa was currently discussing the situation of Hans with the other royals and to be weary of the exiled Southern Isles prince. Even though they were still cautious of Elsa, they couldn't forgive him for what he did to Elsa and her sister.

"Any news on his where bout's, Prince Alan?" She questioned the man with blonde hair and a thick beard, his little eyes turned towards the Queen

"Last time we heard of any news your highness, he ambushed a bunch of my troops on the road to Corona" he replied

"Why would he do that, when everyone's looking for him?" she was quite curious actually

"I don't know your majesty, one of my commanders said he was with an old man" Elsa was even more confused now, what was he up to?

"How did he escape?" she leaned in to the man, wanting to get as much information as possible to bring Hans down

"Sorcery your Highness" the men muttered at this amongst themselves. Elsa was shocked and flinched at the same time at the man's tone of voice, which was slightly harsh.

"What kind of sorcery?" Another royal spoke up, he had an English accent. He had light blue eyes and dark hair.

"Puffs of green smokes were created and then they just disappeared" He used his hands to act out what his soldier had told him

Elsa's face turned into a deep frown, as the men continued to discuss what Prince Alan's troops had seen. That's until she caught something out the corner of her eye.

A flash of Strawberry blonde in her view. She shook it off thinking her imagination was playing up on her as she looked towards the curtain where she saw the flash. And that's when she saw a small piece of ginger sticking out of the curtain.

Her body turned rigid, as she realised Anna must've snuck into the hall. Where the hell was Kai? She was going to have serious words with him. Ice gathered at the palms of her feet and Hands as she tried to control her powers. Anna was so dead when she was out of this meeting. She was brought out of her thoughts when she heard the man with the auburn hair speak.

"Do you know what kind of magic this is your Majesty?" her mind was still distracted at the fact Anna was in the room, she tried to hide it

"I don't, I've never heard of such magic" she emphasised the word 'magic', she glancing over at the curtain. She knew Anna was up to something but she didn't know what. She was praying with all her might that Anna would remain hidden and not do anything, she had no idea.

When Anna was in the kitchen she gathered up a few ingredients which included Honey, flour and eggs, placing them in sack which once contained potatoes. She was currently standing behind a curtain in the great hall, where Elsa was talking too 5 men. Her little heart was racing, did Elsa see her?

She heard them talking about grown up stuff that made her glad she wasn't queen! She peeked out off her the curtain and looked to see her sister giving her a death stare of her life. She didn't realise until now but her sister could be scary.

"Something bothering you, your majesty?" she heard a high pitch voice say, he sounded like her talking doll. She giggled slightly putting her hand over her mouth.

"No, sorry carry on" She heard her sister strained voice reply, the man continued to ramble on about ducks or something, she wasn't quite sure. She was trying to figure out her next move; somehow she needed to get under the table.

That's when by pure luck one of the carts containing food passed by. Her tiny body manoeuvred its way into the food trolley, as she hid under the cloth that covered the bottom.

Elsa turned towards the curtain again awaiting the arrival of the meal they were about to have. She swears her heart stopped beating for a good 10 seconds. Anna was gone. She was internally panicking but she had to keep her calm demeanour in the presence of her guests. Anna was going to get the grounding of a lifetime.

"Pork chops and caviar, your highness" the servant laid the meal in front of the Queen and then proceeded to do it with the other royals

Meanwhile while everyone was being served their food, Anna decided this would be a good opportunity to sneak under the table with her bag in tow. She lifted the table cloth and quickly snuck underneath undetected. She loved being small sometimes! One she was under the table she could see everyone's legs and feet. She was just going to prank Elsa but then she thought everyone could do with a laugh. She didn't want to be caught however, so she had to make a quick escape afterwards. That's when she felt someone accidently kick her back.

Elsa's mind was still reeling; she didn't know what to do in her current predicament. She couldn't exactly try and find Anna under the table. The royals quietly ate their meals, as they slurped on their wine. Elsa hit something with her foot under the table, at first she thought it was the leg of the table. But then it started to wriggle around her suspicions heightening, she lifted the cloth to see her sisters chocolate covered face grinning up at her with her innocent smile.

'She better not have eaten that chocolate cake" she thought as her face was turning red with anger, her sister saw the expression and backed away slightly

She tried to grab her sister's arm so she couldn't get away but her attempt failed, she was trying to do it discreetly as possible. Anna however was currently filling one the man's shoes with an egg covered in honey and flour; he had taken them off under the table.

Elsa was stressing out big time, what was Anna doing under the table? There was still a silence as she heard the other men slurping their meal, now and then conversing with chit chat. That's until she saw the tallest of the prince's shriek. Her blood ran cold, knowing who the cause was.

"AHHHHH" he shrieked at the top of his lungs

"Something wrong Prince Albert?" she asked dreading the answer, all the other princes glanced at him in confusion, wondering why he let out a strange noise

"Someone has put honey in my shoe!" He yelled angrily standing up from his chair, Elsa tried to calm him down, but failing miserably

"How on earth did honey get in your shoe?" the English one announced just as puzzled as the others

"Someone must have just put it in, there was no honey in there five minutes ago" she could see his face light up bright red. Elsa was quick to her feet as she saw him lifting up the cloth, she was too late. Her worst nightmare coming true. When he lifted the cloth he was greeted with the impish grin of the little Anna, who wasn't aware she had caused tension within the atmosphere. Elsa was horrified.

He grabbed the little girl by the arm, dragging her up from the table. His hands tightly round her tiny wrists, Anna let out a cry of pain as she felt his grip tighten.

"Help meeeeee" Anna called out to her sister

"Who the hell is this brat?" He spat out at Elsa who was still frozen in her spot, she however saw the pain on Anna's face and proceeded towards her sister, prying the little girl out of his hands. She had heard he could be quite violent.

"She's my sis-daughter" she blurted out, without her realising what she had just said, god KNOWS how she was going to get herself out of this mess! All the men looked at her in shock, wondering how Arendelle could keep this secret for a few years. None them piecing together it was actually her sister.

"No silly your m-"Elsa immediately covered Anna's mouth with her pale hand. Anna felt the cold hand covering her mouth. Elsa had no choice she couldn't reveal the little girl as being Anna, otherwise she could be in great danger. The little girl looked up at her confused, chocolate still covered her face

"How is this possible?" One of the princes, who hadn't said much throughout the meal questioned

"I do not need to answer to you" her mouth was so dry, she internally kicking herself for her stupidity

"Guards can you usher these men out, the meeting is over, close the gates" She said darkly, still holding Anna, close to her chest

"I think we deserve an answer Queen Elsa" one of the princes said as he struggled against the one of the Queens guards.

She turned her back to the five princes jut willing they would go away, she couldn't explain it herself, never mind making up a story to convince them Anna was her daughter. She felt Anna squirming in her arms, the little girl becoming restless. She put her down.

"Just GO" she bellowed to them as the guards dragged the men away from the grand hall. She knew as soon as the men were back in their respective kingdoms the news of that the queen had a child was going to spread like wildfire. She knew it was too late to change what she said. But there was one positive to this situation, if people believed that Anna was her daughter than she knew the little girl was going to be safe from any harm. However if people found out it was actually Anna, than it would be dangerous for them both.

She felt a slight flurry of snow feel the grand hall, closing her eyes at how stressful today had been. She than realised Anna staring up at her. That's when she snapped.

"What were you thinking Anna, Interrupting my meeting like that?" She bellowed at the small girl as she cowered at her sisters booming voice

"I wanted Elsa to have fun" she replied twirling her feet around on the wooden floor, her sister's expression slightly softened, however she remembered the severity of the situation

"Anna you know I can't play with you in meetings, I can play with you afterwards" Elsa scolded the girl like there was no tomorrow. She felt like a parent at this point. Realising she had to be.

"You're grounded missy for a week, no snowmen, no cake, no playing outside and it's straight to bed after you've had your dinner" Elsa gave Anna a steely gaze, one that made the girl fidget. However there was another reason why she was fidgeting. She gazed up at her big sister.

"Elsa, are you my new mummy?" The little girl was confused, at the earlier situation when Elsa announced that she was Elsa's daughter. Her little brain jumbled up. Elsa stood there silent for a few seconds, slightly taken a back at the question, although not surprisingly since she announced Anna was her daughter in front of the princes. Elsa expression softened at the little voice.

"I suppose…..I am" Elsa rolled out, lifting the girl in her arms with ease. Anna snuggled into her sister's embrace, as the flurry of snow stopped gathering within the grand hall. For now she was just concerned for Anna, she would deal with anyone when the time came but for now Anna was the most important to her in that moment.

But the situation was still playing on her mind, how was she going to explain this whole situation to everyone? It was probably a good thing to shut the gates again.
