Other than the occasional command from Kristoff to Sven to run faster, we didn't speak pretty much the whole way back. Judging by how bright it was, I figured it was about midday when we were only a couple of miles from Arendelle. Olaf had either fallen off or chosen to get off Sven, I'm not sure which. But he was now sliding next to us.

I shivered and felt weaker. That one shiver at the trolls' place had kept me shivering and weak ever since. Kristoff looked down at me and took off his hat putting it on me. "Just hang in there," he said, and I smiled at him. Then he ordered for Sven to go faster. Olaf tried keeping up, but then he somehow went a different direction than us.

"I'll meet you at the castle!" He called.

"Stay out of sight, Olaf!" Kristoff ordered.

"I will!" Olaf promised, but I could just faintly hear him say hello to someone, and a woman screaming. Within a few minutes, Sven was running across the rock path to the castle. We stopped at the gates, and Kristoff carried me to the servants.

"A-Are you going to be okay?" I asked, shivering. That one shiver at the trolls' place had done a lot on me, making me shiver a lot, and very weak.

"Don't worry about me," he answered. Just then, the gates opened, and all the servants surrounded me. Kristoff set me down, and I was immediately surrounded by everyone. I heard Gerda say something about being worried about me, but I just looked at Kristoff.

"Get her warm," Kristoff ordered. "And find Prince Hans immediately."

"We will," Kai promised. "Thank you."

"Make sure she's safe!" Kristoff said, and I looked to see him one more time as the gates were closing. As soon as we entered the castle, the servants took off my gloves and Kristoff's hat.

"These are too wet," Kai explained. "Keeping them on will only make you colder." I reluctantly agreed to it, then they led me up the stairs. We reached the library, where the doors were closed. Kai opened them and told me Hans was in there. Just as we entered, Hans noticed me and came running to me.

"Anna!" He said, grabbing me. "You're so cold.

"Hans, you have to kiss me!" I told him. "Now!"

"Slow down!" Hans said.

"We'll leave you two alone," Gerda said, walking out with the other servants, dignitaries, and the Duke.

"What happened out there?" Hans asked.

"Elsa struck me with her powers," I answered.

"You said she'd never hurt you," he reminded me.

"I was wrong," I admitted, then groaned in pain. He picked me up and carried me over to the couch. "She froze my heart, and only an act of true love can save me," I explained.

"A true love's kiss!" Hans realized, thinking of the same cure as the trolls. I smiled at him as he lifted my chin and we leaned in for the kiss. But just before we touched, he stopped and pulled away. "Oh, Anna," he said. I opened my eyes to see him grinning in an evil way at me. "If only there was someone out there who loved you!" He then stood up and walked away, leaving me shocked and confused.

"Y-you said you did," I said. He was standing by the window now, and as he began to talk, he closed the curtains.

"I was thirteenth in line," he explained. "In my own kingdom, I didn't stand a chance. I knew I'd have to marry into the throne somehow."

"W-what are you talking about?" I asked. He took off one of his gloves and licked his fingers so he could put out the lights from the candles as he explained his plan.

"As heir, Elsa was preferable, of course, but no one was getting anywhere with her. But you! You were so desperate for love you were willing to marry me just like that!" He grabbed the pitcher and lifted it over the fireplace. "I figured after we married, I'd have to stage a little accident for Elsa." He began pouring the water from the pitcher onto the fire, making it go out.

"Hans, no! Stop!" I said, falling off the couch. But he ignored me and finished the job, while continuing to reveal his plan.

"But then she doomed herself, and you were dumb enough to go after her! All that's left to do now is kill Elsa and bring back summer," he announced. I gained enough strength to get on my arms and propelled my upper body up.

"You're no match for Elsa," I said. Then he kneeled before me and lifted my chin.

"No, you're no match for Elsa," he corrected, and I yanked my chin away. "I am the hero who is going to save Arendelle from destruction." He put back on his glove and walked over to the door. I turned to face him as he left.

"You won't get away with this," I said.

"Oh, I already have," he said, before walking out and closing the door behind him. I weakly walked over to it, trying to move the doorknob so I could get out, but it was no use: he had locked it. I banged on the door.

"Help, somebody, please. Help," I said, although it wasn't very loud due to my weak body. I shivered and curled up against the door. "Help," I repeated. It was extremely cold in the room now that there was no fire to keep me warm. And my body felt a great deal weaker now. My time must be close to up. So much for all those happy endings I always read about. I would die now with the last thing being Hans's betrayal.

A/N: All right. Here's Chapter 12 for everyone! This was one of my favorite chapters to write. I personally liked Hans from the beginning, and I still do like him, despite what he did. I'm still debating about if this will be a trilogy, or just have a 'sequel'. Once again, if any of you have any suggestions, let me know! :D I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and I'll see you all tomorrow with the 13th (and maybe 14th!) chapter! Bye all!
