I can’t believe it. She somehow found out. My hand is shaking as I write this. I don’t even know if I should be writing this, for fear that someone will read this, but, I might as well. If I’m lucky, I’ll be long gone before this gets published, although they might leave this out in the abridged version. So, here it is. She just barged in and told me she had a confession. I seriously thought that she was going to tell me that she and Kristoff were engaged, but then I saw her looking at me with a passion that I’ve never seen before. Right about then my mind started losing focus, but the one thing I can remember as clear as day, is the feeling of her lips on mine. They were warm, and soft, and everything else I ever imagined they would be. Then, she just left. Or maybe she didn’t. I don’t know. I just know this: If this gets out, shit will fly. – Elsa’s Journal303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAZiMIDaHs

My dreams were filled with dancing princes and sugarplums and… yeah, right. Those dreams left me when Elsa left me. I didn’t exactly dream that night, I just… remembered. All the times that me and Elsa used to play as kids, running around, as happy as can be, just running through my head again and again. This would seem terrible to some people but for me, they are some of the happiest moments of my admittedly short life. A rustle from outside my door awoke me (somehow) from my slumber. I propped myself up and strained to listen to what was going on outside my door.

“My queen! It is late. Is there anything I can bring you?”

“Tell the stableboy to ready my horse. I’m leaving in five minutes.”

“But you have meetings in the morning! Wouldn’t it be better to wait until afternoon when you have less to do?”

“I do not expect to be long. I should be gone two hours, at most.”

I continued to listen to the flustered guard and Elsa as I got dressed. I had a feeling of where she was headed, but I wanted to make sure. I crept over to the door and made sure that Elsa was down the staircase before opening the door and slipping past the guard who was at the end of the hall. Quickly, but silently, I made my way down the stairs and headed towards the stable. Making sure that my sister didn’t see me, I took a less direct route to the stables, and arrived just after she left.

“Oh, hello, Princess Anna. Shall I get your horse ready?”
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6igOEZRLF5
“Please, if you will, Edmund,” I said, trying to sound as “princessly” as possible.

He went and grabbed my horse, who didn’t appreciate being woken up, but was still plenty excited to see the carrot in my hand.

After saddling up my horse, and saying a goodbye to the boy, I turned and galloped off in the direction that I hoped my sister was going. If she wasn’t there I had no clue where she could have gone. In fact, this entire cloak and dagger plan I had would be entirely useless.

After getting close to the spot, I dismounted and tied up my horse. I crept over to the rocks and snuck a peek at where I thought she would be.

I look and see… a tree. A tree that wasn’t supposed to be there. After looking around, I notice that I went to the completely wring spot. After mentally beating myself, I run back to my horse and proceed to the correct spot. I do the exact same thing, but when I look over, I see my sister. I try to hear what she’s saying, when I realize that they made sure to stand where they wouldn’t be overheard by any stragglers.

With a sigh of defeat, I started to sneak back to my horse, when a twig jumped under my foot, making a snap that seemed to echo around the clearing. Within a second, Elsa is standing over me ready to make me an ice cube. She sighed, and called over her shoulder, “It’s only Anna.”

I slowly got to my feet, and followed Elsa into the clearing.

“Hello, again, Anna,” Pabbie greeted me. “We were just talking about you.”
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY9pEZE6is
“What exactly about?”
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaW4SAcfCo
“Well,” he looked at Elsa, “it’s about the relation between you two. I think I might know what causes it.”
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJnGIKn5v2
The look on my face must have been one of incredulity, for Pabbie gave me a wave with his hand.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAGRgdY8Jf
“It wasn’t that hard to discern,” he explained. “Since Elsa hit you in the head with her magic when you were younger, you two were connected. Since I healed Anna, she wasn’t affected, but you had your heart connected, and so you’ve been programmed to be affectionate towards your sister.”
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdFEQ1xBxZ
“Is there any way to reverse the connection?” Elsa asked.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9b7NyDbaA
“Wait, why would we need to do that? We’re fine just like we are.” I was astounded. “It’s not like any problem has arose out of it.”
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDl0F85RO1
“Anna,” Elsa sighed, “there has already been an altercation. We need to do this. Is there any way, Pabbie?”
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkBBQi1d4d
“Well, yes, but there is quite a collateral. I didn’t want to do it when you first came to me, and I still don’t want to, but if you insist, I will do it. I have to warn you, it is very dangerous. If it doesn’t succeed, you will lose your life Elsa.”
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcnH2SJL8N
I gasped, and Elsa grimaced, but her face quickly resumed her composure. “If it must be done, then let it be done.”
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz9ZetZDFy
“No!” I screamed. “You can’t! You just can’t! We’ll figure it out, I know we will!” My eyes started to water at the thought of losing Elsa. “I can’t live without you,” I sobbed, “I just can’t.”
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEgHfb1t0A
“Anna,” she looked at me with the eyes of a sad parent, “we have to. There’s no other way. I might hurt you.”
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYdwwLEWD1
“No!” I grabbed her shoulders. “If you die, I’ll have to take over the kingdom, and you know I’m not ready for that.” I took a breath and prepared to deliver the one argument that she couldn’t argue. “You of all people know that Hans will come back and try to take Arendelle over if anyone weak comes to power. How would Mom and Dad feel if the person who tried to kill both me and you is leader of the place they worked so hard to create?”
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqX6rbvSAq
With the mention of Mom and Dad, her eyes softened and began to cloud up. But then her hands clenched, and ice started to spread from her feet. “I swear, if they try to come and take over, I will kill them.” Her voice was sharp and assertive.

“I know you will,” I said with a hug, “now let’s go back.”

We both mounted our horses, and headed back to the castle at a slow trot. As soon as we got inside the city limits, however, a page ran up and waved us down.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQhWGlhsVp
“Uh oh,” Elsa commented. “This can’t be good.”
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNAHZ6fQ3o
“Your majesty!” the page gasped. “You have some… er… unexpected visitors.”
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKPNurlk37
“Who is it?” she demanded.
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtcVSIIqWv
“Well, it happens to be the king, queen, and princes,” he paused and took a breath, “of the Southern Isles.”303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8M1lJ7ptW
