Disclaimer: I did not make Frozen. Disney did.
After about five minutes, no one had come to my rescue, and I was getting colder. So I laid on the ground and pulled my cloak over me the best that I could. I looked up to see spikes coming out of the ceiling. Elsa was here? For how long? I wasn't able to ponder on it much, because the doorknob started to jiggle around, as if someone was trying to get in.
"Help," I said weakly. After a few more jiggles, the door swung open, and Olaf came in. He was at first laughing, and putting his nose back in place. Then he saw me.
"Anna!" He said, running over to my side. I collapsed onto the ground again. "Oh, no," he whispered, then ran over to the fireplace. I watched him put more wood in the fireplace and grab one of his stick arms from the pile. then he lit a stick on fire. I gasped. The fire could easily melt him. Then he made the rest of the wood catch on fire, too. He was obviously happy to see it.
"O-Olaf, g-get away from there," I said urgently, but he didn't listen. He liked the fire too much.
"So this is heat! I love it!" He said, reaching out to it. Then one of his stick arms caught on fire, and he quickly waved it away. "But don't touch it!" He ran over to me and helped me up and over to the fireplace. When I was sitting in front of the fire, he asked, "So, where's Hans? What happened to your kiss?"
"I was wrong about him, Olaf," I admitted. "It wasn't true love."
"But we ran all the way here!" He reminded.
"Please, Olaf. You can't stay here. You'll melt!" I told him.
"I am not leaving here until we find some other act of true love to save you!" He said, sitting next to me where the heat couldn't melt him or anything. "Do you happen to have any ideas?"
"I don't even know what love is," I admitted.
"That's okay, I do!" Olaf said, getting up and fixing my cloak while explaining it to me. "Love is...putting someone else's needs before yours. You know, like how Kristoff brought you back here to Hans and left you forever." Kristoff?
"...Kristoff...loves me?" I asked. Olaf walked to face me.
"Wow, you really don't know anything about love, do you?" He asks. Was it really that obvious? Was I too weak and blind to see it? His carrot nose began falling, but Olaf pushed it back up.
"Olaf, you're melting!" I exclaimed.
"Some people are worth melting for," he answered. I gave him a smile. Then more of his face became water, and he pushed it up with his stick arms. "Just maybe not right this second." Just then, the windows swung open, and Olaf gasped while I turned my face away from it. "Don't worry, I got it," he said, running to the window. "We're gonna get through th-," he stopped before finishing the sentence, noticing something. "Hold on. I'm getting something." He pulled an icicle off and bit the tip of it, then gasped. "It's Kristoff and Sven! They're heading back this way!" He announced.
"Th-they are?" I asked.
"Wow, they're really moving fast," he observed. "I guess I was wrong. I guess Kristoff doesn't love you enough to leave you behind." Or maybe he loved me too much to leave me behind!
"Help me up, Olaf. Please," I said, trying to get up myself.
"No, no, no!" Olaf said, knocking over the chess pieces as he ran back over to me. "You need to stay by the fire and keep warm."
"I need to get to Kristoff," I protested.
"Why?" He asked. Rather than answering him, I just gave him a look, and he understood. "Oh, I know why! There's your act of true love right there! Riding across the fjords like a valiant, pungent reindeer king!" He exclaimed, helping me up. "Come on!" He grabbed my hand and began pulling me out of the library. We looked up to see the ceiling about to crumble because of the ice, and he pulled me out. "Look out!" He exclaimed just as we reached the hall. I fell onto the ground, and he came running over and helped me up again. Ice spikes began growing from the walls. We had to abruptly stop because the spikes crowded the area too much. "Uh, back this way!" Olaf said, pulling me back the way we came. But then the spikes blocked our path that way, too. "We're trapped!" He announced. I looked around for some way to get out of the castle. Was this how my life would end? Trapped in the hall, unable to do the act of true love I wanted? I sighed and closed my eyes. I'm sorry, Kristoff, I said silently.
