Sorry I took so long to update this. I've been juggling three stories at the same time. And I've got a limited time on the interwebs a day. But anyway I hope it was well worth the wait.

They took refuge in a cave that night. Elphaba made a fire with her hands, something Elsa was silently impressed of. She did find the chanting the witch did a little odd. But she figured it was best not to judge. Besides she wasn't exactly the best candidate to be the one giving the criticism.

For dinner they had apples that Elphaba had brought from Oz. They tasted different from the ones in Arrendel. They were tart when you first bit into it then it got sweet. Elsa thought they were delicious.

Elphaba was strangely interesting and so was her story. It was almost as if she didn't care that the entire world was against her. But her bitter attitude suggested a different story. Both of the girls were kind of awkward when it came to conversation. People didn't want to talk to girls like them. But Elsa was trying to break the ice and get to know this witch better. But Elphaba wasn't very eager to share her tale. All she really offered was how she learned magic.

"I found this book filled with an ancient language not many could speak. But somehow I could read it. Understanding it is a completely other story, but I can read them easily." She explained. She took a large book out of the bag she had brought. Elsa was astonished about how large it was. It was thicker then any other book she'd ever laid eyes on. And she had encountered plenty of books in her days.

"May I look at it?" Elsa asked curiously.

She expected Elphaba to sneer, make some rude witty comment, and hid the book from sight. She was surprised when the green woman handed it to her.

"Just be careful. It's very old." Elphaba warned.

Elsa bit her lip. She was pretty good at unitentionally destroying things and didn't want to take chances. Elphaba would kill her and she would never forgive herself.

"Um, you know what, I changed my mind, I don't need to see it. I change my mind." Elsa said as she fumbling with her sleeve. She didn't want to risk ruining this book. Elphaba would kill her. She would never forgive herself.

Elphaba gave a confused look. Then she carefully placed the bag back in the bag it came from.

The fire was burning out quicker then it normally would. Surrounded by all the ice it wasn't much of a surprise. Elphaba was dead tired from her journey and wanted only to sleep. They both used their capes as blankets. Elsa didn't need one, of course, but she liked wearing one. It made her feel somewhat normal.

Elsa offered to make her a pillow of ice/snow but Elphaba quickly turned it down.

"Ice melts." She responded, more to herself then to Elsa. Elsa thought she heard the witches voice trembling.

"Unfortunately this ice doesn't." Elsa muttered.

The next day Elsa woke up at the crack of down. She hadn't gotten much sleep. When the guilty thoughts weren't alit in her mind the aching of her bones was. Maybe the next night she could make a bed. Elsa stretched her sore muscles. As she glanced around the cave she noticed she was alone. Elphaba's hat was the only thing she left behind. Elsa took a sigh of relief. She hadn't left for good. Somehow Elsa was scared of the thought of the with leaving. Elsa wasn't sure if this was because she didn't wan to be alone or if she actually enjoyed the green woman's company. She didn't spend much time dwelling on the subject.

Elsa strolled outside the cave. The sun made the snow glisten. It was painful to look at. Elsa found Elphaba sitting on a rock, talking to a bird. She kept saying "speak" to it. Elsa stood there for a second, watching the witch. After a minute or so, ElphaBa noticed her.

"Back in Oz animals could speak. Well some of them. But most of them have lost that ability." Elphaba explained, "In the past I've been successful with getting animals to learn to speak. It seems to be mlre of a challenge here."

The bird she was recently talking to jumped up and flew away.

After breakfast, which was made up of the apples Elphie had brought, they continued on their journey. Neither of them had a clue where they were going or what they were looking for. They'd know once they found it.

Arrendale was in utter chaos. Without a ruler they were all lost. And they certainly didn't consider Elsa their QUeen. She was now their enemy. There was talk going around that a mob had been formed. They were planning on finding the monster that caused this and bringing back her head. When Anna heard this she became horrified. SHe didn't know her sister very well but she would not allow anyone to kill Elsa. And being the only member of the royal family left she made orders to but those whispers to rest. She decided it would be best if she went and talked to Elsa. Her subjects respectfully nodded their heads and wished her godspeed. But they did not agree. In their mind you could not negotiate with a witch, that's what they started calling Elsa. The mobs never broke apart.

They left a day after Anna did, in hopes they would not be discovered. The people of Arrendale supplied the mob with an thing they had that could be used as a weapon. Sure, they weren't an army but in some ways they were worse. They were angry, determined villagers. The Queen had damned them into an eternal winter, and they were going to put an end to it. No matter the cost.

There! Kinda short but hey, it's here. Reviews inspire me to write more!
