Five years later

The wind blew hard, almost knocking the old witch down as she made her way up the hills to where the three graves laid. Miles away from the kingdom of Arendelle.

She walked until her legs became sore and collapsed to the ground in front of the Snow Queen's grave. At least, that is what everyone called her. The witch breathed deeply and got back on her feet.

She looked down amongst the grave and raised her arms, calling out, "O god of the Underworld, raise the Snow Queen from her slumber, and awaken her dark side to come forth!"

Thunder and lightning seized hold of the sky, and teared it down like falling stars. Ice and snow swirled down from the sky and smashed on the cold damp grass that hid the Snow Queen's decaying body.

The witch flew back from the force and her back hit the bark of a tree hard and she went down to the ground. She looked up to find ice and snow swirling around the Snow Queen's grave and then it was sucked up into the ground and everything grew quiet.

The witch slowly rose to her feet as the ground of the grave began thumping like the beat of a drum. Then, the ground exploded and a figure was emerging from the ground.

The witch's eyes grew as the Snow Queen straightened up and opened her eyes. Her body looked like it hadn't lost any skin the last five years since her death. She wore her shining ice blue dress she had died in and her platinum blonde hair was down her back. She was dirty from being underground and a speck of dirt was seen across her cheek.

The witch bent down on one knee and lowered her head to the ground. "My Queen, I have brought you back from your long slumber."

She just stared at the witch, no emotion at all written on her face. The witch looked up and saw her smiling. "Rise," her voice was deep and commanding. The witch did as told and was smiling with excitement. "Do I get rewarded my Queen?"

She didn't move or change her expression as she asked, "how long has it been?"

"Five years my Queen."

"Who took my place as Queen?"

"Your sister. Princess Anna or, Queen Anna now, my Queen."

She stared at the witch and, laughed. It was an evil laugh and the witch smiled as she made her way towards her. "What is your name, witch?"

"Alexandra, my Queen."

She looked down at her and touched her shoulder lightly. "Thank you, Alexandra. You did a brave thing bringing me back."

Alexandra smiled. "Do I get a reward my Queen? And if I may ask, what is your real name? I never hear anyone say it."

Her grip on Alexandra's shoulder grew tighter and she bent down to be face to face with her and whispered, "I have a very special reward for you Alexandra."

Alexandra smiled as the Snow Queen straightened up, a bright smile on her face. "What is it, my Queen?"

"Death."

Alexandra's smile faded and as fast as lightning, she grabbed Alexandra's head and twisted it. There was a snap, then her body went limp and slumped to the ground.

She looked down at her and grabbed her by the collar, dragged her to the now empty grave and dumped her body in it.

She ran her hand across the top and it was instantly covered in ice and a few layers of snow.

Grinning, she turned away from the grave and started making her way towards the kingdom of Arendelle, and as she went she thought of Alexandra's question.

"And if I may ask, what is your real name?"

She grinned as the kingdom came into view, the sun just about rising. "Well Alexandra," she said as she made her way down the hill, leaving a trail of ice behind her, covering the grass once more.

"My name is Elsa but I prefer," she spotted people bickering around in the kingdom, having a good time.

"The Snow Queen," she whispered and Elsa's smile grew as she slowly said, thinking of her little sister, "Queen Anna, I can't wait to meet you."

And she started walking again, ready to take down her sister.

The Snow Queen has returned.
