Hans and I walked back to the ballroom. Although I was trying to stay calm, I was shaking with excitement inside. I was only moments away from being officially engaged to my true love, and marrying him. This was so different compared to my life before! I walked through the party guests, pulling Hans behind me.

"Excuse me," I said. "Pardon me. Let me just get around you there," I said, trying to get around a rather chubby man. Once I did, I recognized my sister almost immediately. "Oh, there she is. Elsa!" I called, but then noticed the men standing next to her, bowing, and I quickly corrected myself. "I mean, Queen," I did a little curtsey, then brought Hans forward. "May I present Prince Hans of the Southern Isles."

"Your Majesty," the prince said, bowing. Elsa dipped her head respectfully, and I got straight to the point of why I had summoned her. Hans joined in at times.

"We would like your blessing of our marriage," we said, and Elsa immediately had a shocked and confused reaction.

"Marriage?" She asked.

"Yes!" I squealed, as if I was a toddler receiving a new toy.

"I'm sorry, I'm confused," she said.

"Well, we haven't worked out the details ourselves," I admitted. "We'll need a few days to plan out the ceremony. Of course we'll have soup, roast, and ice cream, and-," it was then that something hit me. I turned to Hans and asked, "Will we live here?" Elsa said something, but I ignored it.

"Absolutely!" Hans exclaimed.

"Oh, we can invite all twelve of your brothers to stay with us!" I said. Elsa kept trying to get me to stop, but I just continued my babbling. "Of course we have the room, and-."

"Wait! Slow down!" Elsa ordered. "No one's brothers are staying here, no one is getting married."

"Wait, what?" I asked. Surely Elsa wanted me to be happy and have my happy ending?

"May I talk to you please? Alone?" Elsa requested, but I shook my head.

"No. Whatever you have to say, you can say to both of us," I told her, wrapping my arms around one of Hans's.

"Fine," Elsa said, recomposing herself. "You can't marry a man you just met."

"You can if it's true love!" I protested.

"Anna, what do you know about true love?" Elsa asked. "More than you! All you know is how to shut people out!" I shot back. Elsa was taken back by my answer to her question.

"You asked for my blessing, but my answer is no," she stated firmly. "Now...excuse me." She said, beginning to walk away. I looked at Hans with a sad expression. In just that one sentence, all my dreams were shattered.

"Your Majesty, if I may ease your-," Hans began, but Elsa cut him off.

"No, you may not. And I, I think you should go," she said. She picked up her pace, and ordered, "The party is over. Close the gates." I stood in shock for a moment, then ran after Elsa. No way was I letting things go back to the way they were after today.

"Elsa, no, no, wait!" I said. I meant to grab her hand, but instead I just took off her glove. Good enough. I had been able to get her attention.

"Give me back my glove!" Elsa cried, trying to take it back, but I kept it away from her.

"Elsa, please, please, I can't live like this anymore!" I pleaded.

"Then leave!" Elsa stated simply, and I gasped. Leave? Why should I leave? This was my home! Elsa turned away and began walking out of the room.

"What did I ever do to you?" I asked. Obviously she had something against me, or else she wouldn't be like this right now.

"Enough, Anna," my sister said, but I ignored it and continued on.

"No, why? Why do you shut me out? W-Why do you shut the world out? What are you so afraid of?!" I asked.

"I said ENOUGH!" Elsa shouted, and with a wave of her arm came out a wall of spikes. One of them almost pierced through me, and I had to jump back to avoid getting hit. Elsa had...ice powers? She was scared now. This must have been the secret, and now everyone knew about it.

"Elsa?" I whispered, but she ran out of the room without a response. I watched as she left, not sure what to do. The Duke was first to act, chasing after Elsa with his guards. It wasn't until they were out of the room that I realized that I needed to help. If he got too close, he could hurt her. I ran around the wall of spikes and down the hall, Hans not too far behind me. When I reached the entrance, the Duke and his guards were on the floor, ice covering the steps, and one of the fountains was frozen. I noticed Elsa begin running away. "Elsa!" I called, before running after her. She had a pretty big lead over me, though. "Elsa!" I called again. "Wait, please!" I was only a few feet away from her. She was standing by the fjord. She turned her gaze from me and placed her foot down on the water, where something glowed in the shape of a snowflake. I watched her run across the fjord without stopping. "Elsa, stop!" I shouted, but slipped on the ice. "Anna!" Hans said, stopping at my side. "No," I breathed as I saw Elsa run into the forest without ever stopping or looking back.

"The fjord," Hans said. I looked to see what he was talking about: the ice path Elsa had made to run across the fjord started stretching, soon covering the fjord entirely so no one could leave. "Come on. We have to get back with everyone." I left Elsa's glove on the ice. It wasn't really going anywhere anyways. Hans helped me up, and we walked back into the courtyard. By the time we reached the guests, it had grown a lot colder and it had begun to snow.

"Snow!" someone said as it reached the people.

"Snow," I repeated. It was very odd for it to be snowing right now.

"It's snowing!" The lady repeated. I walked through the crowd, my hands covering my bare arms so I could try and stay warm.

"Are you okay?" Hans asked me.

"No," I responded. My sister was gone, it was snowing here in Arendelle in the middle of July, and I was cold. Things were not going my way today.

"Did you know?" He asked. I turned back to face him.

"No," I answered. That was a secret everyone who knew about it had kept from me.

"It's snowing. It's snowing!" The Duke cried. "The Queen has cursed this land! She must be stopped." He grabbed one of his guards and said, "You have to go after her."

"Wait, no!" I said. The Duke saw me and hid behind his guards.

"You! Is there sorcery in you too? Are you a monster too?!" He asked.

"N-no! I'm completely ordinary!" I told him. "

That's right, she is!" Hans said, a little too harshly. He realized that, and added in a calmer tone, "In the best way!" I gave him a grateful smile, then turned back to the Duke.

"M-my sister's not a monster!" I defended.

"She nearly killed me!" The Duke shot back.

"You slipped on ice," Hans pointed out.

"Her ice!" The Duke countered.

"She didn't mean it! She didn't mean any of this!" I said. "Tonight was my fault. I'm the one who pushed her, so...I'm the one who needs to go after her. Bring me my horse, please!" I commanded.

"Anna, no!" Hans said, putting his hand on my shoulder. "It's too dangerous."

"Elsa's not dangerous," I told him, pushing his hand off of me. "I'll bring her back, and I'll make this right." Kai put a cloak on me, and I held it closed.

"I'm coming with you," Hans said.

"No. I need you here, to take care of Arendelle," I said, although that was only part of the reason. The other reason was because, if I was going to convince her to come back, I needed to do it alone. Having him with me may make her think something else.

"On my honor," Hans said. I pulled myself up onto my horse, then looked out to the guests. "

I leave Prince Hans in charge!" I said with authority. Hans looked away from the guests at me.

"Are you sure you can trust her? I don't want you getting hurt," he said.

"She's my sister. She would never hurt me!" I said, and with that, I flicked the horse's reins, and I was officially on the search for my sister.
