Chapter 2: Big Business
Although Elsa was the last to fall asleep, she was the first to stir awake in the castle. When she wiped some of the sleep from her eyes, she remembered where she was. Next to Anna in Anna's room. Anna let out a little snore as Elsa got out the bed as quietly, and stealthily as she possibly could. Elsa walked over to the door to leave, but something made her turn around. It instantly made her remember about the talk they still had to continue. On that she left the room. As she walked down the hallway to her study, she came across a picture, one of her mother, and father.
She couldn't help thinking of how happy they were, and how loving they were. They loved her even though her powers could harm them. Elsa tripped over that word... it was a emotion she was unsure of, she never really felt that emotion to someone other than her family. She loves her sister of course, but that was a different love, she doesn't know how to love someone outside. On that thought she shuddered, then turned to continue back down the hall. She has queenly business to attend to. As she entered her study, something on her desk instantly caught her eye. A letter on her desk, "that wasn't there last night" she thought out loud.
She walked over to her desk and picked it up. The stamp on the letter was one she didn't know. It was deep blue, and had a magnificent snow flake on it. Unlike one Elsa had ever seen before, even maybe more unique than her own. She sat admiring it for moment then decided to open it. It read "Queen Elsa, you do not know me, but my name is Jarrett. I was in Arendelle when you accidentally froze it. I was there to see your coronation, I noticed when you picked up the scepter and ball you were very nervous, at that moment I also noticed ice forming around you hand and on them. I didn't say anything, but I probably should have came and talked to you. I might have been able to stop the freeze. I know this may come as a shock, you may also not believe me, and that's understandable. But I also bear the same gift as you. I know you probably think of it as a curse from all the bad it has caused. Believe me I know my self. But you must look at it as more, as a gift, a sign your destined for some much greater. I am also sorry I forgot to mention earlier, I am from the land of Karkendelle. I am of no royal stature, but please lend me your ear for a short time, then you can decide what to think. Back on topic though, I have braved daunting trials of my own. From an early age I knew I had them. When I turned 8, some 19 years ago. It it all changed for me. My brother and I got in a fight. I put my hand out to stop him from hitting me, and as I did a blast of ice hit him in the head. My parents heard of a land where trolls dwell and can fix such injuries as these. This land was Arendelle. So they sold all they could to gather enough money for a trip there. He was healed by someone named Pabbie. I know I'm starting to ramble so let me quit my life story there. I know most of this is out of place for me to be asking of the Queen. If you will hear me out though I can promise to make it worth your while. - Jarrett of Karkendelle." After she finished the letter she was dumfounded, and didn't know if, or how to believe this. "I mean how can someone else bear my same icy curse as well?", she thought aloud again. She sat for a minute pondering what to do, whether or not to send a letter back. Moments later her favorite servant Kai, knocked at the door. Elsa glanced out the window noticing she had been in here at least an hour since she woke. "Hello, Queen Elsa, are you in here?", she heard him ask though the door. "Yes, come in". Kai opened the door and entered the room. " Your majesty, Anna has requested me to get you", Elsa remembered again of the dreaded talk they still had to continue "Tell Anna, and Kristoff to meet me here in two hours, I have a council meeting to attend." "Yes, your Majesty". He then turned and left her study. Elsa was soon to follow suit.
Making her way down the hall towards the council room, she couldn't stop thinking of Anna, and Kristoff, and now the new letter she had just opened sitting on her desk. How would she respond to it, if she does. When Elsa reached the doors of the council room, she stopped and hesitated for minute, "conceal, don't feel", she always said this before her meetings it helped her keep some sort of civility during them. "Just go in, quickly, like ripping off a bandage" she said to herself. She finally made her way inside where the council was already waiting for her arrival. She already knew what this was about not even needing to be told, Anna and Kristoff's marriage. The meeting started with the usual courting. "Good morning your majesty" one of the council men said as they all bowed. "Good morning" she said back with some aggravation in her voice, because she knew this meeting was going to get heated. The meeting went back and forth for a while, on the councils reason for why its wrong, and Elsa's reasons for it being perfectly acceptable. One of the council men closest Elsa spoke up saying "No royal has ever married outside royalty, we can't just let this go on". Elsa shot him a glance that could freeze with no powers at all. "Are you all blind, open your eyes, she is in love and when she is in love there is no changing her mind." The council erupted , and quickly died back down as they felt the temperature in the room start to drop. Ice started forming around Elsa's feet, and running along the ground farther and farther by the second. "Maybe that's enough for today" Elsa shot towards the council. "We agree," two of the councilmen said though chattering teeth.
The meeting took longer than Elsa expected. Instead of the two hours she speculated on, the meeting took at least three hours or more. Elsa left the council room to head back to her study. Half way there she was knocked off her feet. "Hey!" she started angrily before seeing who it was. "Oh Olaf, it's just you" she said starting to calm down. "Why were you running?", Olaf felt very guilty for knocking over his creator, the queen even. He eventually spoke up "Anna, and Kristoff have been pacing outside your study for a while now, the are beginning to worry." "I was on my way there right now" she stated back. "Here let me help you up", Olaf said while rushing over to pick up his fallen victim. They both started back to the study. As they got closer to the study, Anna was the first to see them, and instantly started interrogating Elsa. "Slow down" Elsa said putting her hands up. "What took so long?" Anna probed farther. "The council was being very pretentious, just leave it at that for now please", Anna reluctantly obliged. "Olaf give us some time alone please", Elsa said begging. The little snowman quickly wore a big frown, but eventually turned and started back down the hallway. They entered the study, Anna, and Kristoff prepared themselves for an ear full, from the seemingly annoyed Ice Queen.
"I promise not to yell, but no promises on getting upset", Elsa started. "That's fair, I guess" Anna said. "Anna you know I'm never to busy, or stretched thin as you put it, to listen to my sister" ,"I know, I just really didn't know how to tell you. Kristoff has been pushing me to tell you as well, I told him the same thing" Anna confided. "Well now we have another bigger problem, what am I to possibly tell the council? They are already down my throat enough about you marrying Kristoff". " What does it matter? We love each other, and thats all that should matter", Anna said starting to get annoyed herself. "Don't you think I told them that? They just didn't care Anna", "Let me talk to them, Anna spouted right back. "Anna you can't just run in there yelling and screaming at them, they will just dismiss you, and not listen to a thing you say. If anything that could make it worse". Elsa felt- felt, well she really didn't know this new emotion coming over her. It was an empty, stomaching wrenching feeling. She felt... hopeless. Not like those years in her room alone, not like when her parents died. "Anna", Elsa started, but instantly died out as tears were starting to form. "Yes? Elsa what is it?", "I-I-I don't know what to do, for the first time in forever, I am speechless, and don't know how to face them, or most people in that matter", Elsa said letting a few tears run down her face. Kristoff was standing there shocked, he had never actually seen the queen cry over something like this. "I'll be right here" , Anna whispered into her sisters ear, as she hugged her. "I'm not going anywhere either" Kristoff finally saying something. None of this helped the already saddened Queen Elsa, quite possibly made them worse. "Excuse me, I need to get some rest, I didn't sleep, but a few hours last night." " Of course, take as much time as you need" Anna and Kristoff answered. With that Elsa left the study, and walked back to her room. She laid down in her bed, and with tears coming back she said "why can't things just be easy, or normal for a change. Oh yea I'm the ice queen that will never happen." Elsa finally dozed off. Her dream of her and Anna playing quickly turned into a nightmare. Anna and her were playing in the ball room, full of snow, and ice. All of a sudden she was back on the frozen fjord, with Hans approaching her with his drawn sword. A quick flash then she saw Anna- Anna frozen solid. All she could do was scream, she screamed so loud she woke herself.
