I'm not sure whether this is going to be the last chapter. Probably not. Keep reading and I'll keep writing.


Forgetting her grief for a while, Elsa said:"Then open the door."

"I can't"

"Anna, I'm opening the door now."

The doorknob turned. Elsa entered.

She stopped. She gasped. The room was a blizzard. In her excitement, Anna had lost control of her powers.

Elsa staggered. She could a swirl of memories, her real memories, flooded her. Seeing Anna had jarred them to the surface. She vaguly remembered... something about trolls?

"You mean it wasn't locked?" asked Anna in amazement. Then she smacked her forehead. "How come I didn't try that?"

Elsa fought through the blizzard, tears of joy freezing on her face. She engulfed her sister in a bear hug.

"You heard the news?" she asked, finally.

"No. What news?"

Elsa took a deep breath."Mama and Papa are dead." It was the first time she had admitted it to herself. Tears, tears of grief this time, froze once more on her face.

Anna stared in disbelief. "No. No. It can't be." Ice spread along the walls, grieving with Anna. The sisters wept together. Ice spread along the corridors, terrifying the remaining servants. Walls started cracking under the strain. Outside, a blizzard raged.

Elsa's grief ran it's course. she looked up, her face tear stained and realized the danger immediately. "Anna..."

A sudden gale swept her outside, and threatened to slam the door.

"No" cried Elsa desperately."Please don't shut me out again!

Please don't slam the door,

You don't have to keep your distance any more.

Cause for the first time in forever,

you don't have to be afraid,

For the first time in forever, I finally understand,

for the first time in forever,

we can fix this hand in hand

We can head down this mountain together

You don't have to live in fear...

Cause for the first time in forever

I will be right here."

Anna did not seem to hear. The storm raged on.

"Anna!" shouted Elsa, trying another tack." We still have each other! We're not alone! I will never give up on you!"

That seemed to have some effect. The storm died down. Elsa could see Anna, sprawled on the floor in her grief, sobbing. Elsa comforted her as well as she could.

"When's the funeral?" asked Anna, her face ravaged with tears.

"Later today." Elsa replied quietly. "It will be private. The gates won't open until my coronation. Shall we go?"

The sisters walked down to the palace graveyard, where the archbishop performed the funeral ceremony. They stood silently, their heads bowed. As soon as it was over, Elsa accompanied Anna back to her rooms.

"Tomorrow's coronation day." Elsa informed Anna." We're opening the gates."

"Really?" asked Anna, her face alight with excitement.

"Yes." replied Elsa." Go get some sleep. I'll have a dress made for you."

And that night, for the first time in what seemed like forever, they slept soundly, both comforted by the fact that they were reunited at last.
