May I just say WOW…I'm going to say it again, WOW. The feedback from the first chapter was amazing. Thank you to all of my readers and especially to my Beta renesmee2006! I love you guys and you make writing a dream come true!

"My marshmallows disintegrated." Anna said peering down into her mug, "Come back little marshmallows."

Elsa laughed from where she sat on the edge of Anna's bed, clearly her sister's fever was not all the way gone. She took a sip of her own hot chocolate, smiling at the warm memories that the smell brought.

"I think I burnt my tongue." Anna said, ""Sticking her tongue out, moving it this way and that, trying to see it with her crossed eyes

Elsa smiled at her sister's childlike behavior and conjured an ice cube in her hand, giving it to the younger girl with a small chuckle. It had been two days since Anna had first fallen ill and Elsa had spent nearly all of it with her. Excluding the few meetings with ambassadors and the one small incident of the wrong shipment of fabric for the dressmaker, but she was happy to have the time with Anna. They talked the day away, mostly Anna doing the talking and Elsa listening, and after thirteen years of separation Elsa didn't mind a bit. Kristoff was off in the mountains with other ice harvesters and wasn't expected back until three weeks from now, which helped in the case of keeping Anna in bed.

A knock came from the door and a servant entered with Anna's medicine, smiling at the two sisters as they sat drinking hot chocolate and eating chocolates.

"Your majesty a shipment has arrived for you." The servant gave Anna her medicine, dispute her protests, and left with a bow

"I don't remember ordering anything." Elsa shrugged, taking Anna and her own mug as she kissed her sister's head, "I'll be back in a minute or two, I want you to try and sleep."

"Yes your majesty." Anna laughed as Elsa closed the door behind her and headed down the staircase

Anna yawned, snuggling under the covers as she felt sleep overpower her stubbornness. She heard the door click open and then close as someone locked it.

"Elsa?" She whispered from under her covers, her eyes already closed

The heavy footsteps lifted her from her dream state, she peered out from under the covers to find a tall figure standing a mere three feet from her bed. Their face was covered ,as was the rest of their body, in a dark black that made the night seem like a shadow.

"May I help you?" Anna asked, rubbing her eyes as she sat up

"I'm a messenger for your sister." A rough male voice growled from beneath the rag that covered his mouth

"My sister is attending a shipment; you'll find her downstairs where you can give it to her." Anna said fully awake as she saw the man pull a knife from his belt

"I can't give her this message." He said, stepping closer to Anna

"W-Why not?" Anna tried to hold back the fear

"Because you are the message." He jumped, but Anna was faster as she twisted her body, letting out a scream as the knife barely caught her arm

She jumped across the room and bolted for the door, grasping at the lock with shaky fingers as the man turned to strike again. Anna grabbed for the closest object, a chair, and swung it at the man with all her strength, catching him in the shoulder and flinging the knife away from him. She jumped across the room as he made another attempt to grab her, missing by inches. The man found his knife and flung it at Anna with all his strength.

Anna ducked as the knife came at her, she didn't know if she was going to be fast enough.

Elsa rubbed her temples as she let out another sigh. She knew she didn't order anything, and yet here she was sorting out the wrong shipment. She listened again and again to the apologizes that were given to her and repeated that it was okay more times than she cared to count.

I hope Anna is asleep. Elsa thought to herself, the thought of her sister sent a small smile to her face and made it easier to review the shipment lists again and help the men reload the shipment.

A scream from upstairs tore her attention away from the shipment. She found herself running up the stairs without a thought, her heart racing. She didn't notice the ice shooting up the walls as she ran. Her only thought was of Anna, and how much she couldn't bear to lose her again. She made it to her sister's door and gripped the doorknob with icy fingers. Her heart caught in her throat as the door refused to open. She knocked on it madly pushing and yelling for Anna.

"Elsa run!" She heard Anna scream from within followed by the sound of glass breaking

Elsa didn't give it a second thought as she blasted the door into tiny ice particles. She barged in and assessed the situation quickly as her eyes darted from her sister standing with the remains of her mirror with a knife stuck in the wall next to her head, to the figure dressed in black standing in the pile of glass that had come crashing down on him. She looked at the man with pure hate as she felt her anger course through her veins .

The room temperature dropped tremendously as ice crept along the walls, avoiding Anna altogether and headed straight towards the intruder. Elsa yelled out, pushing her hands out in front of her and sent the ice straight at the man, throwing him out the window and to the courtyard bellow.

"Whoa." Anna put down the mirror and stared at Elsa, "Remind me not to get on your bad side."

Elsa managed a small smile and braced herself against the bed post, her entire body feeling as if it were lead.

"Are you okay?" Anna asked, watching her sister closely

Elsa smiled and stood, her body slowly regaining its strength, "Me? You just took on an assassin with a knife while armed with nothing more than what appears to be a chair and a mirror. In addition, you've been in bed for almost two days and yet you're worried about me?" Elsa laughed and was joined by Anna's own laugh.

"Just proves that not all princesses…" Anna suddenly winced and clutched her arm, a thin line of sweat breaking on her forehead as she looked up at Elsa with a confused expression before her eyes rolled back and she began to fall

"Anna!" Elsa lunged forward and caught her sister as she almost collided with the floor. Elsa knelt on the floor and held her close as she called for the guards and the doctor.

She gently brushed a single strand of Anna's hair from her face and let out a sigh of relief as she watched her sister breath steadily. She noticed a small piece of paper close to where the attacker had been. She reached out with shaky fingers and grasped it.

It read:

My dear queen,

This was only a mere attempt to spook you and the princess

But know the next time the knife won't miss its mark

For it will bury itself in the princess's heart

Pain is a game

Your move,

Snow Queen

Elsa felt a cold chill rush down her spine, and it wasn't from the snow falling form the ceiling.

My sister and I were enjoying a nice cup of hot chocolate together and it struck up my inspiration for this chapter. As for the way Anna acts, I once had the flu and I wasn't exactly "all there" so to say. Hope you enjoyed and don't forget to review! (I can handle it if they are bad!)
