Moments later, Anna started to regain her vision. At first, it was a little bit blurry, but then it started to get clearer. It was then she realized that she's dreaming of her memories. It felt so vivid, she thought it was reality at first. At first, she was dreaming of the fateful incident that causes both of the sisters to be alone without any contact between each other at all for 13 years. She remembered everything so clearly now. She remembered when she begged for Elsa to play with her when the sky was awake. She remembered when they sneak into the ballroom to play around with the snow Elsa conjured. She remembered when they both built Olaf from the snow together. And of course, she also remembered when she jumped quickly from one snow pillar to another. Too quick. The next thing she saw was an icy flash headed towards her head, leaving her unconscious. Anna felt very guilty and wanted to apologize to Elsa the next morning so bad.
Soon, flashes of other memories started to appear very vividly. All of the good times they had together when they were kids. Anna wishes that it could've been like that, if only that incident never happened at all. They played together, ate together, they even slept together! Oh, how Anna wishes her childhood was more like that.
Later on, as all of her memories are now finally restored, she stumbled upon a dream so unreal, yet it felt so vivid. She found herself in a surrounding that felt so different from this world. She took a look around and it was nothing like in Arendelle. She also noticed that a female stranger was carrying her, who then kissed her followed by another stranger, presumably her husband. She was then taken to some sort of metallic pod, before the pod launches her towards the skies. It was a very strange experience overall, probably even stranger than finding out your sister have ice powers.
As her dreams started to fade, Anna instantly woke up, recalling the dreams she just had. She felt happy now that she regained her true memories, as well as a little bit of guilt, but what really bugged her was the dream she had just before she woke up.
"Freaky dream." She mumbled to herself.
She then readied herself for breakfast, changing from her light green nightgown to a darker green dress. She also brushed her bed hair that looks like a forest to a more presentable hair, as well as braiding her strawberry blonde hair into two. She then left her room to the hallway as she walked towards the stairs. As always, instead of just walking down the stairs like a normal person would, she slided down the railings. However, as she tried to land, she ended up landing much further, almost falling down in the process. Somehow, she felt a little bit weightless. Feeling as if nothing happened, she continued her walk to the dining hall.
Elsa was sitting on her chair, patiently waiting for breakfast to be served, and also for her sister Anna to join her too. Kristoff already left the castle early with Sven and Olaf to the lakes to harvest some ice. Minutes later, Gerda, one of the servants, came, serving breakfast on the table. Elsa can already smell the savoury scent of scrambled eggs and bacon, but she adamantly waited for her sister's arrival eventhough she was starting to feel hungry. Later, she can hear footsteps and at that moment, she can see her sister already opening the door, who then walked towards her chair beside her. Unable to contain their hunger, they started to eat their breakfast, enjoying every single bite.
"So, how does it feel like?" Elsa became the first to break the silence between the two.
"What?" Anna quickly responded, with food still in her mouth.
"Your memories?"
"Oh yeah, right. I don't know how to say this cause, it feels kinda weird, though basically I'm happy about it. I just wanna say I'm sorry though, like really sorry."
"Oh, you don't have to, the past is in the past anyways, what matters right now is that we're here together."
"No, it's just that, we had an awesome childhood together, I really wish it could be like that throughout those years."
"Me too, Anna. By the way, what are you gonna do today?"
"Well, I thought I could follow Kristoff to harvest some ice, but since he already left, I might as well just take a walk on the garden and maybe go into town for a while, before slacking off in the library reading novels. How about you?"
"Oh, just the usual stuff, royal meetings, sitting on the throne listening to the complaints and suggestions from the people, and of course, paperwork."
"Have a fun day then." Anna sarcastically responded.
After filling up her stomach, Anna took a stroll through the royal gardens, admiring the lush greenery of the trees and the fragrant scent of the flowers. However, while she was wandering around she felt something different, but she just can't quite put her finger on it. She somewhat heard vague chatters as if they're in her head. Done walking around the garden, she then headed towards the stable to fetch her horse. Now riding on her horse, she went towards the gates. The gates, now open after being closed for 13 years, was guarded by two royal guards, who then wishes the princess safety.
"Have a nice day, your highness, and always be safe."
However, the moment her horse stepped out towards the bridge, the voices inside her head gets louder. She then stood still on the bridge, her mind overwhelmed by the voices. It's like she can every single word from every single citizen. As she took a gaze at her horse, she started to shriek when she only saw her horse's skeleton. Closing her eyes, she reopened it, only to find her vision back to normal. Freaked out and confused, she navigated her horse to return back to the castle.
"What's the matter, your highness? Anything wrong?"
Anna, not knowing how to explain what she's going through, only replied vaguely.
"Nothing, it's just, I don't feel that well today, I'll just stay inside for today."
"Oh okay then, your highness."
After cancelling her decision to go to the town, she spent her time alone in the library, reading her favourite novels. While she can somewhat hear these voices, it wasn't as loud as it was, so it didn't really bug her that much. She even wanted to talk to Elsa about this, but then, it's probably just nothing. When lunch time came, she went to the dining hall, only to see no one else on the table. She did asked Gerda if she knew where Elsa was, who then mentioned that Elsa was still busy with the meetings. With no one to talk to, she finished her meal quickly, then went back to the library to continue reading the novels.
As the sun started to set, Anna went to her bathroom for an evening bath. Already in her towel, she spinned the faucet to pour water into the tub. However, she accidentally tore apart the faucet, causing water to burst uncontrollably. She desperately shouted for help, before things get any worse. Kai responded to her screams, who ordered to get a plumber straight away. Anna, meanwhile, tried to stop the water flowing but to no avail. She then got out of the bathroom swiftly, while quickly changing into her nightgown. Disappointed that she didn't get to take her evening bath, she laid on her bed, thinking of the strange occurrences that happened to her lately. What is happening to her? She tried to convince herself that it's nothing, but she can't shake off the feeling that something is happening to her. She still hear these voices and the faucet, she was pretty sure she only spinned it gently, she certainly didn't expect herself to rip off the faucet from the tub.
As time passes by, Anna went downstairs to the dining hall for dinner, and luckily this time, her beloved sister Elsa was there. Unlike breakfast earlier this morning, the dining hall was rather quiet, with hardly any conversation going on. Kristoff was still away, probably coming home late, while Elsa seemed so tired, it seems as if she just wanted to lay on her bed until she fell asleep after dinner. Even Anna, the outgoing one, the one who always starts a conversation, seemed rather quiet, with her head still thinking about the strange things she experienced today. After a rather quiet dinner, both Anna and Elsa hugged each other and wished each other good night before they both go their separate ways to their bedrooms, as they were trying to have a good night's sleep tomorrow.
The following days haven't been easy for Anna. The voices only get louder and louder, while she keeps seeing weird things, there was a time when all she saw was just bones during lunch. She also felt unnaturally strong and quick, such as when she accidentally ripped off the doors to her bedroom or when she read a 500-page novel in just an hour. She wanted to tell Elsa or maybe even Kristoff about this, but she feels so afraid. How will they react? Especially when they don't know if she was indeed born with it or she was cursed. Besides, even if she was born with it, shouldn't these powers appear ever since she was a baby, just like Elsa's powers was? All this anxiety causes Anna to act more quietly, barely leaving the castle and even rejecting Kristoff's offer to follow him to the frozen lakes. Heck, she even just stayed still in her room, only to come out during meals. This weird behavior have not gone unnoticed by both Elsa and Kristoff, causing both of them to feel worried about Anna.
One morning, both Elsa and Kristoff were having breakfast, with Anna absent, probably still sleeping.
"Have you noticed something strange going on with Anna?" A worried Elsa asked Kristoff if he also noticed it.
"Yeah, she acts so weird and quiet, which itself is weird, cause you know how much she loves to talk. But then, all of a sudden, she became quiet. She didn't even wanna go with me to the lakes!"
"I know right. I mean like she loves to go out, and to see her just laying around in her room, just kinda broke my heart. It's as if she's going the same route as mine, and trust me, that's never good."
"Maybe we should ask her. I mean like, what if she feels something different inside her, and she's afraid of that. It kinda make sense."
"If you're trying to say my sister also have my powers, I would've known about it a long time ago. That is unless she's cursed." Elsa's voice started to break at the possibility.
"What if she is? I mean like, maybe that bastard Hans met a witch to curse her."
"I really hope it's not that."
"Yeah-"
Kristoff was cut short by a scream from upstairs that can be heard clearly in the dining hall. The high-pitched scream can only mean one thing, it was Anna's scream.
"-so do I. Let's go and see what's up with Anna."
Anna woke up hoping that all these weird stuff can just stop bothering her, but was met with sheer disappointment. The voices started to get as loud as it possibly could, driving her mind crazy. She screamed out loud hoping this nightmare will end quickly, as she just can't take it anymore.
"Help me!"
Amongst the jumble of voices, it's a miracle she could actually trace the footsteps of Elsa and Kristoff. However, whatever was said to her just got lost as incomprehensible mumbling.
"Arrgh! Why does the world have to be so big?!"
She took a gaze to the doors, she even believed they were actually knocking the doors. Seconds later, the doors were blown away by her sister's icy wind as they tried to force an opening. When both of them stepped inside her room, they were surprised to see how what used to be a neat and tidy room became a horrible mess, complete with various cracks on the walls and even the ceiling.
"Anna, can you hear me!" Elsa shouted, concerned over her sister.
"Is that you, Elsa! I can barely hear you!"
"I'm just right in front of you. What's the matter?"
"I don't know, I feel so different, and my ears, its like I can hear everything in this world, and it's making me feel dizzy."
"Okay, how about you calm down. Just focus on my voice. Try to listen to only my voice. Ignore the other noises, just stay focused on my voice."
Anna followed her sister's advice, and minutes later, she did it. She can no longer hear the annoying noises that overwhelmed her brain, and can now clearly hear Elsa's voice, in fact clearer than usual.
"Can you hear me now? Is it all under control?"
Anna simply nodded, before muttering something to Elsa.
"Take me to the trolls, please."
Elsa then turned back to Kristoff.
"Kristoff, prepare for the ride. Oh, and, please tell the servants that Anna and I are not available for the whole day. And ask them to cancel the meetings!"
Kristoff then rushed to the hallway, following the orders from the queen. After Kristoff left, Elsa then tried to assure her sister that there is nothing to worry about.
"Don't worry, Anna. Everything's gonna be alright."
