Chapter 2

(Rapunzel)

"You mean she hasn't slept at all since they returned!?" I asked in an angry whisper as my parents and I followed Kai through the house towards Anna's room. Three days ago we had heard about the earthquake on the news, well honestly the whole world probably heard about it. It was all the news stations were talking about. A powerful earthquake and an area that had never had a recorded earthquake before. With almost a hundred people killed and hundreds injured. Among the injured was Anna. 'Teen science genius Anna Arendelle in critical condition after the earthquake' Had been the title of an online news article I came across only a few minutes before I received a very frantic phone call from my mother Primrose telling me that Anna and Elsa needed us as soon as possible. We were unable to fly in as the earthquake had damaged the airport in Arendelle city so we had immediately charted a trip with our family's yacht. But still it took us three days to travel over the sea then drive inland and up the mountains to reach the Arendelle estates.

"Yes, she hasn't left Anna's bedside. She hasn't eaten, she hasn't slept, and she hasn't exercised. We have barely been able to make her drink water. Honestly, I am very worried for Elsa, not so much for Anna. Pabbie is the best doctor I have ever seen and he has assured everyone on more than one occasion that Anna is healthy just unconscious and she will wake when she is ready. She shows no signs of going into a coma, nor any brain damage. Elsa looks more like she's the one that needs to be in bed." Kai explained his worry for her very clear in his tone and body language.

My father, Thomas laid a firm hand on Kai's shoulder before speaking in his deep kind voice. "Don't worry Kai we will get her to take care of herself" he assured just before we reached the door to Anna's rooms.

Kai bowed his head respectfully and opened and held the door for us.

I rushed in before either of my parents and froze in place for a moment as my eyes fix on Anna in bed. She was pale her freckles even more prominent than normal on her paler than usual skin. She had an IV in each hand feeding her some kind of fluids. But then my eyes fell upon Elsa and I again rushed forward. Elsa was a mess, for the first time I had ever seen in my life her hair was a mess, a completely tangled jungle, just like Anna's was each morning. Though I knew from all the sleepovers we had as children that Elsa's hair was nearly the same from when she laid down each night to when she got up the next morning. There were deep purple bags under her eyes, and her normal beautiful porcelain skin was the color of white chalk. And though her eyes were fixed alert and steady on Anna's as she sat in a chair next to her bed. Her body was trembling as if under immense stress from the inside.

"Elsa!" I nearly shouted before pulling her into a tight hug.

"Punzie…?" Elsa asked hoarsely as if she hadn't used it in weeks.

"Gosh darn it, Elsa look at you!" I scolded as I pulled away and made a show of looking her over. "You look like a wreck, are you trying to give Anna a heart attack when she wakes up?" Before Elsa could answer a second pair or arms wrap around her from behind. My mother Primrose was clutching Elsa to her as if afraid that if she let go Elsa would shatter.

"She will be ok dear, you have to believe that. Kai told us that Pabbie has already checked her out and she is on the mend. She will be ok." Primrose said encouragingly as she rubbed Elsa's arms.

Elsa smiled slightly but it didn't reach her haunted eyes. "You didn't need to come here," she said just above a whisper as she turned to look at Anna again.

"Of course we did Elsa." my father said from behind me.

I cupped her face gently and turned her face to look at me. "We are family," I told her because that explained everything in my eyes.

She took a shuddering breath and nodded in reply.

"Elsa…" My father spoke up and stepped closer pulling her into a hug as my mother and I took a step back to give him room. "I know you are worried about Anna, but we are all worried about you too. You need food and you need sleep. Anna will be ok and you need to make sure that you are ok when she wakes up, or she will worry about you just as much as you are for her now."

Elsa stared long and hard at her feet after my father pulled away. Then she moved back to Anna on the bed and took one of her sister's hands in her own.

"I can't lose her," She whispered desperately as she reached up stroke Anna's bright red hair tenderly.

I moved up next to her and put my arm around her waist. "And you won't" I assured her as my mother mirrored me on her other side. I felt my father at our backs and say him place her hands on Elsa's shoulders out the corner of my eye.

We stayed like that for a couple of minutes, silent and supportive of Elsa as she struggled to hold in sobs. I knew Elsa was so heavily affected because of their parents, Both Elsa and Anna watched their parents die before their eyes in a mugging. I was sure Elsa was struggling with memories of their parents brought up by the fear of losing Anna, just as much as she was struggling with the fear of losing her sister.

Eventually, Elsa let go of Anna's hand and brought both of her hands up to cup Anna's cheeks. She leaned down and pressed her lips to her sister's forehead and murmured something I could barely hear but it sounded like "come back to me."

Then she stood back up straight-backed and turned to face us. "Alright, let's go eat," she said in a surprisingly calm voice.

(Anna)

I gasped loudly as I shot up in bed a loud beeping noise seemed to shoot through my entire body and I leap away from it without thinking. As I leaped I felt too small tugs and stings of pain at my wrists as I felt the IV cords whip through the air with such precision it was like I was seeing them but without my eyes. After a few moments in which my heart was pounding nearly out of my chest I came to realize that the beeping was just a heart monitor that was now flat lined as I had broken my connection with it. I dropped down from the wall to the floor only to freeze in shock and look back up at the wall I had just been…. Stuck to?

"I am crazy… I have to be." I whispered then flinched as I felt something move behind me with as much accuracy as if I had seen it. The door was opening and Pabbie rushed in.

"Anna! my goodness, when I received the alert from the heart monitor I feared the worse." He said rushing forward to check on me. He was very short by anyone's standards but he had a hidden power that took most of his patients by surprise. And he had quickly pushed me back onto the bed though I remained sitting up.

He went through a quick but thorough checkup before he said anything more.

"How are you feeling Anna?"

I did a quick self-examination. Well, I had jump nearly 8 feet up a wall straight from my bed, then stayed stuck to the wall for a good couple of seconds before dropping down as if it was the most natural thing in the world for me. My senses were on hyper alert, and I swore I could feel the movement of everything around me. Like how I had known the door to my room was opening even with my back to it.

"I feel fine" I lied keeping my face completely blank. I was already forming a hypothesis as to why all of this was happening to me, most prominently my spiders bite. If I wasn't dead now then I had somehow survived a bite from a genetically cloned spider. And I couldn't help but to noticed that I had clung to a wall just as a spider might. As well as this sense of feeling that seemed to be working as much as sight as my eyes. Very much like how spiders heard things around them with all the fine hairs on their bodies.

I quickly put a lockdown on my thoughts until I was alone. For now, I needed to act as if everything was fine, not just with my words but with my actions.

"Well good," Pabbie said obviously not fully convinced. "Elsa asked me to fetch her as soon as you woke up. She is currently at the tower surveying the damage from the quake but I am sure she will rush home knowing you're awake."

Before he could leave to call Elsa I blurt out. "How long was I out?"

"About four days. Your relatives from Corona are here as well, they rushed over when they heard about your injuries. At the moment, they are helping Elsa put Arendelle tower back in order." He added without me asking.

With that he left the room off to call my sister I was sure.

(Elsa)

I sprinted up the marble stairs then turned right to go down the east wing of our mansion which was made up of all of Anna's rooms. She was ok, she was walking around according to Pabbie, but I could hardly believe it I had been gripped by the fear of losing her for four days now I found it hard to believe she was going to be ok. I wanted to believe it desperately but I just found it difficult to do. There was a fact that only Pabbie and I knew about her accident. I had believed that the very fact Anna was alive meant she had not been bitten by Sapphire, however once we were home and Pabbie drew her blood he found traces of venom from her spider running through her veins. That she was alive was amazing, even more so was the fact that her body seemed to be adapting to accept the venom, rather than be harmed by it. Both Pabbie and I had no idea what this would mean for Anna when if she awoke. It was because of all this that I had been in such a mess the first few days Anna had been in bed. But each of Pabbie's test showed Anna was just as healthy as before and it was only because of his assurance and the pressure of my family that I dared to leave her side.

I jerked her bedroom door open as soon as I reached it and I rushed in, only to find the room empty my heart nearly dropped out of my chest.

"Anna!" I called in a worried voice.

"In here, sister." Anna's calm reply came from her personal office connected by another door to her bedroom. I ran over to it and rush into her office.

Anna was sitting at her desk dressed in casual close as she read something on her computer screen with focused intensity.

"Hey sis, how are you?" she asked me without looking away from the screen.

"Forget about me Anna, how are you feeling?" I asked as moved around her desk quickly and pulled her into a tight hug laid my face against her neck. "I was so worried about you Anna." I continued when she didn't answer right away.

Then she brought her arms around my waist and pulled me even closer resting her head on my shoulder as she returned the embrace. My body slowly started to warm up and my skin started to tingle in a way I had never felt before as she held me back and I breathed in her scent contentedly as we held each other.

After a few moments, Anna started to shake in my arms and I realized she was crying.

"Hey…" I cooed softly as I rubbed gentle circles on her back. "What wrong?" I asked tenderly.

"I-I guesses I am just in shock, it feels like only an hour or so ago I was experiencing the quake, dodging falling pieces of the ceiling. And…." Anna stopped speaking for a moment as if she wanted to say more before she took a deep breath and said in a shaky voice. "I honestly thought I was going to die." I nearly broke into tears as she said it, and I wasn't about to share that I had been scared that she might have been dead too. I sealed my own fears away and continued to comfort her.

"Well you aren't dead, I promise." I tried to say it in a light-hearted voice but even I could tell I failed miserably at it. Anna seemed to sense what I had tried to do though and she laughed softly squeezing me tighter and I gasped in slight pain at the strength in her embrace. causing her to immediately loosen her grip.

"Sorry," she muttered pulling away and lifting one hand from my waist she wiped her eyes.

"So what were you doing?" I asked gesturing at her computer screen. I sensed that Anna was back in control so I wanted to bring our conversion onto something safe. It seemed however that I had asked the wrong question. She bit her lip and looked very uncomfortable for a few moments before sitting down and turning the screen so that I could see. On screen were a lot of different windows, some of her research on genetics, a lot of information on her own spiders and then some other windows that all seemed to have spider facts on them.

"I was just reviewing everything I could find on my spiders…" she said softly and my heart clenched. I knew she loved her spiders and I thought she probably didn't know about the death of one of them yet.

"Um… Anna…" I started timidly unsure of how to say it.

"Yes?" Anna asked turning away from the screen to look me in the eyes.

"Your spider, Sapphire. She is dead." Surprisingly Anna nodded with only a slight frown on her face.

"I thought as much. I…," she hesitated then continued. "I saw her habitat get crushed. Are you sure she didn't just escape though?" she asked and I nodded.

"I'm sure, I found her crushed." Anna nodded and smiled slightly.

"Well, better dead then escaped. I can't imagine the horror my super spider would cause if it was loose." She joked and I stared at her worried.

"Are you sure you are ok?" I asked seriously.

"Yes, Elsa I'm fine," She assured me turning back to her computer.

"Really? Because I just told you Sapphire, your spider sapphire. One of the twelve you spent two years of hard work to create was dead and you joked about it." I asked even more worried after saying all that out loud.

She turned to face me as she sat down but smiled reassuringly. "I am okay sister, truly."

I didn't really believe her but I didn't say anything more about it for now.

(Anna)

A week has passed since the quake and I was finally used to my new senses. I no longer flinched at sudden movements around me and I was able to focus my senses on what I wanted to pay attention to not everything at once.

The stories of the Ice Queen kept pouring it. She had taken out a group of armed men who were holding hostages while robbing a bank just last night, and the night before she had saved many lives from another fire. There were reports of muggings and rapes being stopped by her all the time. Honestly, she has inspired me and I have seriously been considering using my new and unique abilities like she has been using hers I just wasn't really sure how to go about being a vigilante like her.

In the effort of trying to map out all the changes that had happened to me I have been running many tests by myself. I learned that though my physique hadn't really changed my muscle mass and density had greatly increased and I could easily life eight times as much as I could before the change. I rarely ran out of breath from running and as far as I could tell from my genetic changes, I was highly resistant to toxins. My sight and hearing had both greatly increased as well not to mention my other sixth sense of near perfect awareness. I could also with just the effort of my will cling to most any surface I wished. I was not at least as far as I could tell venomous and I had developed no other visual traits that were spider-like.

Oh, and I had also learned that I hate vehicles. Even riding in my sister's car which was the smoothest ride I have ever had before my changes was now jarring to all my heightened senses. Especially my new sense of motion without sight.

Elsa had taken me for a few drives through the mountains in the past week. She had made me promise to stay home until the tower repairs were finished and she could tell I when I was getting stir crazy. The drives did help even if they were uncomfortable for me, and the time I got to spend alone with Elsa was the best part. Forget the view of the mountains in the sunset, the cascading waterfalls or the multicolored glaciers, my sister was the most beautiful thing on the mountain.

I was still lost in my thoughts laying in bed when my phone went off on my bedside table. I jerked and grabbed it in a flash. I briefly looked at the time and caller before answering. ten thirty pm and it was Elsa.

"Hey Sis, what is it?" I asked her in a light voice.

"You need to come down the main hall right now." My sister replied in a tightly strained voice.

"Elsa? What is it? What's wrong?" I asked her instantly frantic as I got out of bed and grabbed my discarded clothes from the past day slipping into them quickly.

"I will tell you as soon as you get down here, hurry please," She replied and hung up.

I did hurry about halfway down the hall my heightened senses started to pick up the sounds of a lot of people in our entry hall and I moved even faster, curiosity and worry burning through my chest.

Then I heard the heart-wrenching sobs of a young woman at the bottom of our stairs and I started to panic.

Rapunzel sat at the bottom of the stairs her head on her knees as her body shook with her grief.

Elsa was standing a few feet down from the base of the stairs talking with a detective. There were several people who looked like reporters at our door being kept out by the combined efforts of our personal security and some Arendelle police officers.

I immediately went to Rapunzel and pulled her into my arms. I had an idea of what happened just from the scene before me. So similar to three years ago when my parents had died.

"Elsa?" I asked loud enough for her to hear and she whipped around locking eyes with me. I took her only a second or two of looking at my expression for her to see the conclusion I had drawn.

"They are still alive Anna. They were taken but they are alive" Elsa said fiercely her eyes hard steel and body rigid and regal. And I hoped for the sake of whoever had taken Rapunzel's parents that they were still alive, else I was pretty sure my sister would kill the kidnappers herself.

I was filled with both relief that Rapunzel's parents were not killed like mine had been, and a sick dread at why they would have been captured in the first place. Mr and Miss Corona were the heads of another powerful company, not nearly as diverse and powerful as Arendelle Corp but still a big player in the world's economy. They could have been kidnapped for ransom or to be interrogated for their companies secrets. They would even have been taken by those their success had hurt. If that was the case it was likely they were only still alive because those who wished vengeance wanted to make them suffer.

Elsa turned back to the detective as he asked her another question. "Are you sure you can't think of anyone who would want to take them?"

"Detective I don't appreciate going in circles so let me make this absolutely clear. I do not personally know of anyone who would wish them harm. But I do know by the manner of their position and business that they have enemies. I just don't know who those would be. I suggest you ask people who will be able to answer that question, like perhaps the board members of Corona inc." Elsa replied icily

The detective opened his mouth to ask another question and I tuned it out. It was always the same questions. 'Do you know who could have done this?', 'Is there anyone who has a grudge against them', 'Is there anything else you think we should know' and numerous others that were unimportant. What was important was the emotional state of my cousin in my arms.

"Elsa I am taking her to her room," I said as I picked Rapunzel up easily in my arms. Elsa glanced at me and nodded before turning back to the detective. I could tell Rapunzel was near passing out from stress and exhaustion. It was a feeling I knew well. For the first few weeks after my parents deaths, I was like this almost every night.

"Punzie, it will be ok. Your parents will be fine." I whispered gently as her crying subsided, we were now in the east wing hallway. It was my side of the mansion ever since my parents passed away and Rapunzel was staying in one of my guest rooms while her parents had stayed in the west wing, which was Elsa's.

"You can't know that," She whispered back in a broken voice as I reached her rooms. Kai rushed past us to open the door for me. Rapunzel started at his sudden appearance but I had felt him from yards away as he followed us.

"Thank you, Kai." I said to him and rushed in, he shut the door behind us.

"Yes, I can Punzie." I smiled down at her as I spoke. "Did you see Elsa? She will do everything she can, I mean everything to get your parents back. Arendelle Corp is the most influential and powerful company in the world, and whoever took your parents just made my sister, the CEO of that company a personal enemy. There isn't a place on this earth they will be able to hide from her." I assured her. I knew every word I spoke was true. I could already picture Elsa calling her numerous contacts, from private investigators to mercenaries and having them all work to find Rapunzel's parents. She could even call in personal favors from the militaries and government intelligence agencies in several different countries. I knew without a doubt she would find those who took our aunt and uncle. My only worry was if how long it would take and if Rapunzel's parents would still be alive when we found them.

"Would Elsa really do anything?" Rapunzel whispered almost as if afraid to hope it was true. I set her down on her bed and kneeled down beside it to look her in the eyes.

"Rapunzel, Elsa and I lost our parents. We know the pain, the suffering, the grief, the anger, the loneliness and the sorrow that such a tragedy brings. And both of us, Elsa and myself will do anything we can to keep someone else from feeling those things. No one deserves to have their parents taken from them, Trust me. Elsa will do anything to get yours back.

Rapunzel smiled slightly in hope as I spoke and I pulled the blankets over her.

"Rest now and trust us to do what needs to be done," I whisper gently.

Rapunzel fell asleep not long after I tucked her in and I rushed from her room to my own. I was already tossing crazy ideas around in my head. For weeks, I had been hearing about the Ice Queen, and if I was being honest I was definitely a fan of her. And now in the past week, I had started to daydream about being like her. I could use my new abilities to fight for what was good, I could fight to protect others like she did. This seemed like the perfect chance to start, if I could just find them I was sure I could rescue them.

I was pulled from my thoughts by a flash of blue from my window. I moved quickly to look outside only to see a blue figure skiing down the hill towards Arendelle. It was clearly the Ice Queen. Her skin was ice blue as if she herself were made of living ice. Her outfit was a dark blue tight fitting outfit, almost like spandex. Maybe it was spandex, with a light blue snowflake on her chest. Her pure snow white hair was in a bun on her head and she worn a mask of ice that doubled as a crown. Hence the name Ice Queen.

The Ice Queen had left a trail of ice from her position to the west wing of the mansion. 'Did Elsa know the Ice Queen?' I thought in awe. I knew she had a lot of connections around the world, and that she had a lot of people to call on to find Rapunzel's parents. But it never occurred to me that my sister might even be able to enlist the help of the Ice Queen. Yet that was the only reason I could think of for the Ice Queen to have been here tonight.

I made my decision without really thinking about it. I ran to my closet and picked out black jeans and a black hoodie as well as a black masquerade mask that I had worn years ago to one of the masquerade balls our parents had taken us too. Once dressed in them I ran back to my window opened it and jumped out. Doing my best to follow the Ice Queen down the mountains towards the city of Arendelle.
