ANNA AND Elsa sat before Grand Pabbie while the other Trolls took Olaf on a tour of the valley.

Grand Pabbie placed his hand on Anna's forehead and she opened her eyes.

"Well?" She asked.

"It is true, I can see it in your memories, but your mind keeps it as a dream." he said.

"I know; I dreamt it," she said, "But it felt so real, like I had actually done it."

"How does this make any sense?" Elsa asked, "She couldn't have done it."

Anna turned to Elsa, her eyes filled with doubt.

"But, what if I did?" Anna asked.

Elsa furrowed her brows, looking at her sister.

"Anna –,"

"I've done it before; maybe I really did do it." Anna said.

"Anna, you burnt that man by accident and he was attacking you," Elsa said, "You're not a murderer."

"Maybe I am." Anna said.

Elsa took it aback.

"What do you mean?" Elsa asked.

Anna sighed.

"Ever since the Nine Stars came, I've been afraid." She revealed.

"Well, everyone's afraid of them," Elsa said, "They've killed dragons, they always wear black, they –,"

"It's not because they are intimidating, but there was something else," Anna said, "I don't know what it was and it even surprises me. I have been deeply afraid of them and I didn't know why ... until now."

"What're you talking about?" Elsa asked.

"I think Erhard was right, I am a monster." Anna said.

"Anna, you're not a monster –,"

"I burnt that man, I just had a dream that I killed people and I really feel like I did it. Grand Pabbie said that there is a turmoil in me," Anna said, "I don't know how to control this power and it will hurt people. I burned Olaf ..., what if I hurt someone else? What if I hurt you?"

"Anna, you will not hurt me." Elsa said.

"What if I do? I don't know the full extent of my power and I don't know how to control it," Anna said, "I can't be trusted."

"Anna, I love you; you're my sister," Elsa said, "You will not hurt me."

Anna looked away from Elsa, staring down at her lap. Elsa turned to Grand Pabbie.

"Anna, you will learn to control this power, I'm sure." Grand Pabbie said.

Anna did not respond.

"Look, I want to show you something," Grand Pabbie said, "Something I saw in your memories."

Grand Pabbie reached for a stick

"Mine?" Anna asked.

"Elsa's." Grand Pabbie said.

Grand Pabbie drew a map of the valley on a sandy patch on the ground using the stick.

"What did you see?" Elsa asked.

"This is where we are," Grand Pabbie said, pointing at a point on the map and drawing a path as he spoke, "If you follow this path and cross the stream, you'll find a forest past the mountains beyond this cave, here."

"Why should we go there?" Elsa asked.

"That is where you parents were setting up camp in your memories." Grand Pabbie said.
