The Snow Queen: The Return of Ice and Snow - Book 3 (Frozen)

Chapter 3 - Olaf is Back?

Anna

I stood in the ballroom, watching as Michelle and her friends danced around to the music for her birthday.

I still couldn't believe she was five years old, it made me want to cry. Though, I couldn't shake the feeling from last night.

What had that been? It was defiantly snow and it was above the area where my parents and Elsa's had been buried, but I, don't know.

I sighed when a hand touched my shoulder and I turned to find Kristoff, smiling at Michelle and he looked down at me.

"She's really happy about how it turned out, so what's wrong with you?"

I gave a small smile, but I couldn't keep it from him. We had been through so much together, I had to tell him what was bothering me.

"I just keep thinking about what had happened last night. I just don't understand what it had been."

Kristoff and I watched as Michelle burst out laughing at one of her friends, even started crying.

"It was probably nothing, Anna. Just think about Michelle. Look how happy she is. We did a great job."

He pulled me close and I leaned against his shoulder. We stood like that for a few moments, when something caught my eye out the window.

A small figure was running down the mountains, looking a little bit determined to get down here.

The figure was as white as snow. My eyes widened.

The figure was a snowman. Small and fragile. It even had a small snow cloud above it because of the heat outside, even though it was autumn.

Kristoff saw what I was looking at and frowned. "What is that?"

I couldn't help but smile. "Olaf."

Then I took off out the room and ran for the palace doors. I heard Kristoff call my name, but I had to get outside.

Is that what I saw last night? Olaf?

He hadn't come back because Elsa had died and was the only person who could revive him.

Now he was back but, Elsa was still dead, so how?

I burst through the doors and the guards jumped in surprise. I saw Olaf emerge from the gates that are now open.

"Anna!"

"Olaf!"

I ran towards him, Olaf coming for me too and I gave him a huge hug when we met up.

He was cold, obviously he's a snowman, but warm. Warm because, he liked warm hugs.

We pulled apart and that's when Kristoff came running. "Hey Olaf!" Olaf gasped. "Oh my god, Sven!"

"Kristoff," I mumbled.

"Kristoff!" Olaf hugged his legs and Kristoff laughed. I waited for them to pull apart before asking, " Olaf, how are you here?"

He looked at me like I was crazy. "What do you mean?"

"Um, you melted."

"Oh yeah, bad memories," he said while scratching his head. "Well, Elsa brought me back, saying five years past."

I froze, and Kristoff did the same. Olaf looked from me to him. "What?"

"Olaf, Elsa's dead."

He shook his head. "No she isn't, she did say something about coming back from the dead after five years and how you would react but, she sent me down here with a message, Anna."

I couldn't even nod or do anything, I was simply frozen. Was Olaf telling the truth? But, how can it be? What I had seen last night was... Elsa rising from the dead? But, she would have decayed by now. No skin just bone.

Noticing I was too shocked to say anything, Kristoff asked, "what kind of message Olaf?"

He was about to say something, when he froze. His eyes closed for a half second and then opened. "Elsa here," he said in her voice.

I felt tears welling up in my eyes. It was her voice. It was Elsa's voice. My big sister.

She was controlling him.

"Dear Anna, I just wanted you to know that I'm back. Alive and well. Flesh and blood. I'm up in the mountains, at my ice castle that I've recreated. I heard you are the new Queen of Arendelle and that Kristoff is the King, making you guys married. And I'm so happy for you.

"Just so you know, I'm coming down tonight. I'll meet you there and oh, there is one more thing. I'm not just coming because your my little sister or that I want to congratulate you on becoming Queen. I'm coming to take back what's mine, little sister. I'm coming, to take back the throne."

And she was gone. Olaf shut his eyes again, then opened them, dazed and confused. He looked at me, and I was guessing he had no idea what had happened.

I got to my feet, my legs shaking as I rose from my crouched position.

Kristoff watched me with worried eyes. "Anna, what does she mean? How, how is Elsa even alive?"

I shook my head, no words able to come out of my mouth. I turned away from them and started making my way towards the palace, back to the ballroom and to Michelle.

Olaf and Kristoff right at my heels.

Once we walked in, Michelle came running up and gasped at the sight of Olaf. "A magical snowman?"

He gave her a big smile and said, "hi I'm Olaf, and I like warm hugs!"

Michelle squealed with excitement and gladly went into his arms, hugging him gratefully.

When they pulled apart, Michelle looked up towards Kristoff and I and saw the expression we both wore.

Fear.

"Mommy? Daddy? What's wrong?"

I was about to answer, when suddenly a guard came bursting through the doors, heaving with breath from the running.

"Your majesty's," he heaved. Kristoff moved in front of Michelle and backed up towards the window that stood behind us. All the kids hid behind their parents at the sight of the guard.

I was the only one who stepped forward, but I didn't go far from Michelle.

"What is it? What's happening?"

He opened his mouth, and blood came running out. I gasped once I saw the big ice spike protruding from this chest.

Kids screamed by the sight, along with their parents as the guard was flung towards the right side of the room and smashed into the oak wall, leaving blood and smashing the ice spike to pieces.

I looked back towards the door, and saw a shadow of a girl, coming our way. My eyes widened and I looked back towards Kristoff, but he was watching the door,as was Olaf, Michelle and everyone else.

I looked back towards it and, what I saw next. I couldn't even bear it. Tears started running down my cheeks.

Elsa strutted in, a huge, evil smile played over her lips. Blood was seen on her ice dress that we had buried her in as she stopped in the middle of the room.

She looked around, until her eyes stopped on me. Though, those couldn't be her eyes. They were cold and dark. They didn't even look human.

"Hello, little sister."
