The Snow Queen: The Snow Queen - Book 1 (Frozen)

Chapter 17 - Miracles are Real

I didn't know how many minutes passed. Or maybe even hours. But I kept holding onto Anna for a while.

Everything was silent except for my crying. It was the only thing, the only sound you could hear.

Until I suddenly heard Olaf gasp and felt movement from Anna.

I opened my eyes and looked up. She stood there, life back in her eyes and thawed. Even the platinum-blonde streak I had given her was gone.

"Anna?" I whispered, not understanding what was happening.

All Anna did was smile, and smiling as well, I hugged her again. Though this time she hugged back, tightly.

"Oh Elsa." I pulled away but kept her hands in mine.

"You sacrificed yourself for me?" I asked.

Anna shrugged. "I love you." I had a huge smile on my face. So did Anna.

Olaf gasped. "An act of true love can thaw a frozen heart." I looked at him, then behind at the blonde guy and what looked like a moose. Or a reindeer. Then back at Anna.

"Love. Of course." I let go of Anna's hands and looked down at mine, spreading them out from me.

"Elsa?" I gave a small laugh. "Love!"

And with a motion of my hands, the ice started to thaw from under us. Luckily we're on a ship.

Anna gasped with wonder as I moved my hands up toward the sky and thawed Arendelle.

The ship we were on sailed back up when the lake thawed and no one fell down, luckily.

Once every piece of snow and ice was gone from Arendelle, I made all of it a snowflake in the sky and exploded it, all the snow and ice disappeared.

I felt a hand on my arm and I looked over to see Anna, smiling."I knew you could do it."

"Hands down this is the best day of my life. And possibly the last." We both looked over to see Olaf start to melt.

I laughed. "Olaf, hang on little guy," and I swirled my hand around and he was built again. I made a small snow cloud above his head and he gasped. "My own personal flurry!"

I smiled and heard a small grunt. I looked over to see Hans get to his feet. Using the edge of the ship for support.

The blonde guy moved to him but Anna held out a hand to stop him. "Let me," and she went over to him.

He touched his jaw and eyes widened when he saw Anna go up to him.

"Anna? But, she froze your heart."

"The only frozen heart around here is yours," she snapped back and turned to leave.

It happened so fast I was shocked when Anna turned and punched Hans in the face and fell off the ship. Landing with a splash in the water.

I laughed and when Anna walked back to me, we hugged.

I never wanted to let go.

She was safe. By her love for me, by sacrificing herself for me she got to live.

Also by my love for her.

I admit it. I loved Anna. I loved her so much to shut her out for years, freeze Arendelle, freeze her heart and not even notice.

But now, hopefully people would accept my powers. Accept that I can't change who I am.

That I was queen Elsa of Arendelle.

That I was the snow queen.
