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

Chapter 6 - Anna's Second Child

Elsa

I smiled down at little Michelle as she moved away from me and started down the stairs to the middle of the room.

Anna was screaming so loudly, my snowmen probably heard it from the mountains. "Elsa please! She's only five! Stop!"

Kristoff wasn't saying anything, he was just in shock.

Michelle stopped in the middle of the room and turned to face me. Everyone around her were staring at her with wide eyes.

They couldn't believe what was happening. For me, it was freedom.

Michelle looked into my eyes and nodded, indicating she was ready. I smiled and looked back at Anna for a moment. "Sorry little sis," and I turned back to Michelle.

"ElSA PLEASE DON'T DO IT!"

I raised my arms.

"MICHELLE RUN!"

I placed my cold hands on my chest and closed my eyes.

Anna kept screaming while I heard Michelle crying. And it gave me joy. But, right when I was about to give Michelle my power, I stopped and my eyes flew open and I saw Michelle standing there, frozen in place, looking confused but Kristoff looked kind of hurt.

By what Anna had just shrieked

"I'M WITH CHILD!!!"

My head snapped towards Anna, who's head was bowed and was breathing so hard, I thought I heard her heart pounding in her chest.

"What did you just say?"

"I-I'm with ch-child," she puffed out and I... Burst out laughing. I seemed to be doing a lot of that lately.

"Your with child? Oh my bloody god, your with a child!" I laughed and walked over to wear Anna hung by my ice snakes.

I turned my hands into fists and pushed myself towards her. A patch of ice rose from the ground and attached itself with her's, so I could go right up towards her face.

I grabbed her soft skin and lifted her head up to look at me. "Now why would you suddenly scream out you were with another child right when I was about to curse your five year old daughter? Hmm?"

Anna looked into my eyes, the green of her iris's glowing in the ballroom light. "I couldn't let you curse Michelle, I had to distract you." Her voice was scratchy from all the screaming.

I looked at her, and shook my head. "Well, that's not how I took it, Anna."

I let go of her face, though she didn't drop her head back down, she stayed up watching me as I placed my hands over my chest and closed my eyes.

It took a few moments, but then I gave a small scream and opened my eyes as I pulled my powers from my heart.

Anna stared, wide eyed, as my powers became a small ball of ice and snow. "Elsa, what?"

"This, is my powers."

She shook her head as I watched the snow and ice swirl around in my hands.

"I still have the powers, though. I am still the Snow Queen. So, you see little sister, I'll tell you what happens with this," I pointed to the ball of ice and snow.

"Every Snow Queen is born with it. It is a special ball of ice and snow hidden away in our hearts. It is not where our real power comes from because it is saved so we can pass it on to another young girl before we die. The Snow Queen before me had met our mother, who was pregnant with me, and set this ball of ice and snow into my heart when she was still pregnant with me.

"The ball had frozen my heart and when mother had me, she was supposed to die but she didn't, and she had another baby girl. Oh that baby girl was lovely. She wasn't cursed when she came out of her mother's stomach! She wasn't the next Snow Queen."

Anna stared at me, eyes wide as I looked back down towards the ball of ice and snow, and grinned. "Now since mom and dad are gone, Anna, I will curse your unborn child with the same powers I have."

Anna shook her head, eyes fill with fear. "No Elsa you can't. I don't want that for my child."

"Why? Because she'll have the gift of winter? Because she might end up like me?" I leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "so be it," and I slammed the ball of ice and snow into Anna's stomach, reaching her unborn baby's heart.

She screamed by the pain, but I believed that the baby was screaming more. I heard Kristoff and Michelle screaming for Anna, and I listened as they watched her scream in pain.

Then I let go, and all the colour went back into Anna's face and she exhaled. "Oh Anna. Once you have this baby, you will die. And I'll make sure of it from beyond the grave."

That's when she looked into my eyes, and they were full of pain and confusion. "What do you mean? I thought you rose back from the dead? And in my advance, you should of stayed dead because at least I knew, you were still my sister Elsa, instead of the Snow Queen Elsa."

I smiled, looking into a sea green eyes. "Once that baby of yours is born, I'll die. There can only be one Snow Queen alive. And that, will be your child."

Then, I dropped back to the ground, the patch of ice slamming back into the ground and I turned to leave, and as I walked to the doors, with a flick of my hand the ice snakes let go of both Anna's and Kristoff's wrists and they fell back to the ground, slamming hard on the floor.

I heard Michelle cry out for her father and mother and couldn't help but smile. "Oh and by the way," I stopped in the middle of the doorway and turned back to the small family who were helping Anna get to her feet. Olaf went running towards them, but I whistled, indicating for him to come to me. He obeyed.

"From now on, little sister," I said as Anna looked up at me as Olaf came to my side. "Call me the Snow Queen, not your sister!"

And I turned to leave, ice following my lead along with Olaf. I left Anna, Kristoff, Michelle and everyone else who had just stood there for the whole show, staring after me.
