My opposite - a story about Elsa and Red

Chapter 2

'We really enjoyed your visit!' Kristoff said as he stood with Anna, Olaf and Sven to say goodbye to the Princess of Arendelle.

'Thank you, I loved seeing you guys again.'

'Love changes people! We can see this with Elsa, she became who she always was, but hidden.' Olaf noticed randomly.

'That's sweet of you, Olaf!' Anna said and she gave a pat on the twigs of his head. Olaf got a really broadly smile, which he most of the time had.

'She build me, so I know her!'

Elsa created beautiful crystal snowflakes and let them fall around Olaf. Olaf danced and laughed watching the flakes swirling around him. Everyone hugged Elsa as Knokk came out of the water where they stood so Elsa could call him to travel back to The Enchanted Forest. Elsa pet the nose of the strong and elegant creature and he made a loud breathing noise out of satisfaction. Elsa turned Knokk into a rideable horse by solidfying him with ice and climbed on his back.

'I hope to see you soon again and please, message me if you need something!' Elsa said to the group of people she really loved.

'Elsa, the same applies to you! And if you need more chocolate, than you shouldn't wait too!' Anna said as she gave the basket filled with the brown sweets packed into small papers.

'Thank you Anna.' She took the basket and sad goodbye to everyone. The group waved at Elsa until she disappeared out of sight. She left a small trace of ice on the ground what slowly evaporated after a short time. Elsa was happy she made this trip to Arendelle, but leaving them made her realize how tired she was because of this visit. She loves her family and friends, but her mind is always so full thoughts and absorbing all the energies of the people around her exhausted her. She wanted to travel the shortest way toward The Enchanted Forest to be able to rest. After a couple of minutes she felt her magic wanted her to travel more eastern. Why? Even Knokk seem to be off track from the fastest way and tend to go east too.

'Knokk, what are you doing?' She tried to control the direction of the horse. Knokk neighed softly and refused. Knokk would always listen to me, so why not this time? Against her feeling of exhaustion she decided to follow her magic and Knokk's intentions. Maybe she could rest somewhere on the way.

As she crossed one river, Knokk slowed a bit down while they passed a smaller mouth of the river. Intuitive her gaze went alongside the river. In the distance she saw a really extraordinary building at the waterside. 

'Come Knokk.' She directed the horse to walk closer to this strange house, she had never seen before. It wasn't there when she came here the last time. She sneaked behind some trees to watch. Nobody was there but it seemed that someone was living there actually. There was a fireplace and some clothes hung on a clothesline. Elsa dismounted the horse and slowly walked closer. Still no signs of life yet.

'Hello?' She asked a bit nervous. Some ice formed underneath her feet. 'No, please, don't. Not now...' She said to herself and melted the ice away as quickly as she could. The Snow Queen entered the doorstep of this really artish house made out of glass and somesort of rock formation. Who could make something beautiful like this? It must be someone that skilled these creations for years. I have never have seen this before, even not by the best glassblower in Arendelle.

'Hello? Is there someone?' She decided to knock. The door opened immediately, but nobody was there to open the door. That was weird... She felt the magic. Did I do that? Elsa put the basket at the doorstep and took a few steps to walk inside. She entered a hall with a natural stone floor and multiple different glass arts. Somehow, this house made her think of her former house she build on the North Mountain when she ran away from Arendelle. She remembered discovering for the first time what she was capable off. Even though the pain of the past didn't heal at that moment, she felt really free in that house. But then she thought about almost killing two men and Hans calling 'Queen Elsa! Don't be the monster they fear you are!'. Elsa got a sharp pain in her heart remembering this. Suddenly she heard scuffling.
