Alright. This is just a short chapter about Elsa's thoughts from the time when Hans tells her that Anna's dead to the point just before Elsa thaws Arendelle. Enjoy!
****
I turned to see someone was following me. No! They couldn't be following me! I was too dangerous!
"Elsa!" The person called out, and I immediately recognized that voice, even though I only heard him call my name once before. It was Prince Hans of the Southern Isles, the man Anna had introduced me to on coronation day. "You can't run from this!" I turned around to face him, but continued walking away from him, holding my arm out so that he wouldn't come close to me.
"Just take care of my sister!" I told him. But before I had the chance to run away, he began talking again.
"Your sister?" He asked. Yes, the one that you wanted to marry, I thought. "She returned from the mountain weak and cold. She said that you froze her heart." Oh no! I had officially done it! The one thing I had been protecting her from. "I tried to save her, but it was too late," he continued. "Her skin was ice, her hair turned white." He didn't even have to say the next line. I knew what happened. But he said it anyways. "Your sister is dead because of you." I stumbled backwards, turning away from him. I held my hands up to my face, but then just fell to my knees in grief. Anna was now dead, and it was all my fault. Sadness swirled within me like the snow, which had just stopped because of my grief, just like when I found out my parents had died. Hans's words ran through my mind, about me freezing her heart, her skin turning ice, and her hair turning white. I had done it. I had frozen the only friend I'll ever know, the one thing I was trying to protect this whole time. There was no way I could win, but I wish that I had been there for her long ago. It was all because I had slipped while making slopes fast enough for her that I had to lock myself in the room. All because, when I tried making another slope, it went too high and hit her in the head, causing a white streak to form in her hair, and for her to not even remember I had powers. And now, she was dead. And it was all my fault. I heard a sword be pulled out of its sheath. Go ahead. I don't care. There's nothing for me to live for, I thought. I heard someone shout out "No!" But it seemed like it was distant. But, as distant as it was, it sounded like Anna. But, Hans just said she was dead! I must be imagining things. The sword clashed with something, and then I heard the prince groan as he fell back. What would have caused that? My ice dress? Sure, it was made of ice, but it wasn't hard enough to cause Hans to fall backwards, or to protect me from harm. Then I heard a faint sigh. I looked to my right to see a blue hand, as blue as my ice castle. The hand was frozen! I looked up to see someone very familiar.
"Anna!" I cried, quickly getting up and standing in front of her. She was completely blue, not another color showing, and her body was motionless. "No, no. Please, no!" I wished this wasn't true. It was one thing to be told someone was dead. It was another to see them right in front of you, dead, or, in this case, frozen. I collapsed onto the ice statue of her, now crying out loud. I heard Olaf say my sister's name, but I ignored it. Yes, I want to build a snowman, I thought, remembering all the times she had asked me that. Now I really wished I had been there for her then. She had only been 5 when I shut her out. She didn't remember much of our times together. "We used to be best buddies," I remember her saying the first time she asked me to play with her. It was true. We were. I wished I could be with her each time she wanted me. Hearing her ask me that question all the time was just too much to bear.
I was so lost in thought, I didn't realize the warmth of the body until I heard another sigh and felt the body move. I looked up to see Anna, unfrozen and looking down at me.
"Anna?" I asked, making sure it was really her. She responded with a smile, and I quickly stood up and hugged her tightly. We hadn't done this in years, because I was keeping my distance, but I enjoyed it.
"You sacrificed yourself for me?" I asked, looking at her fully. There was something missing. Then I realized it. Her white streak from when she was 5! It was gone!
"I love you," Anna answered. I smiled. Even though I had shut her out for 13 years, she still loved me as a sister. It was great to have her back, and to be so close again. I forgot how it felt, but I knew I would never feel lonely again. Because, after nearly losing her forever, I realized how much I needed her.
