Love Will Thaw

Don't You See?

A long time ago, I had accidentally struck her in the face with my powers and our parents were really upset. They feared for the worst ever since then and kept us apart" Hans couldn't believe what he was hearing.

" They, of course, made sure to erase her memory, so she wouldn't remember anything. Including my powers! " This time, she shrugged her shoulders " Now you know,but what's the point? Everyone fears me and I don't blame them. I am really unstoppable "

" It's all my fault Elsa, I mean, Queen Elsa" He corrected himself "I tore both of you apart and for that I apologize. I shouldn't have done this. I shouldn't have come here in the first place. Now, you're all broken because of me. And Anna, what would become of her? I didn't mean to hurt her, I merely liked to be with her. And now? She's alone, without her sister, without me. How could I act so selfishly? "

Her breath hitched in her throat
" Y- you do have feelings for her " Hans didn't say a word.

" You really love her , don't you? "

She felt her blood boiling " Then good luck with that. Go out there and search for her. I can only hope you will find her alive "

Hans gasped at that " How can you be so cruel to your own sister? And to think she loves you more than herself "

" I didn't ask her to love me " She snapped and turned her back to him. I only wanted yours!....

" Elsa, please. Where is she? What have you done with her? "

She was hurt by his words. How could she accuse her of something like that? Well, maybe she wasn't that innocent, she wouldn't deny that, but it broke her heart to know that he was thinking so ill of her.However, she wouldn't let it show.

" Me?" She chuckled "I have done nothing. She has brought all of this upon herself"
He turned her round and grasped her hand " I am not leaving without her. I won't let her down. She trusted me with her life and I deserve to die if I don't do the same "

She pushed him away " Don't you dare tell me what to do. If you love her so much, then be my guest. Search for her in every room of this castle, but I can assure you she's not here"

She gazed at him with such an intensity that the Prince felt like her gaze had pierced his very soul. The Queen waited impatiently for his answer. She knew better than anyone that he would stop at nothing until he got what he wanted.

"Elsa, please, I beg of you, if you know where she could have gone, tell me. I'm desperate. If anything happens to her I won't be able to live with myself" He looked down in despair.

" Really now? So, you will neglect the throne, the crown, everything you ever craved for so much, just like that? "

He looked up at her. She wasn't totally lying. To be truthful, that was his plan ever since he stepped his foot on that land. His desire for power, hid thrist for sitting on the throne one day, was directly linked to the lack of dignity in his early life. But what she did not know was that everything changed the moment he ' d met Anna. Her naivety, her sweetness, her honesty won him over. She became the new dream of his life. He wouldn't mind even if they ran away together, even if they were forced to leave Arendelle. For as long as she were with him, nothing else mattered.

" It's not like that. Not anymore!  Can't you see? I think I am in love with her" Elsa gasped at that, but tried to remain calm.

" Well, you know your way out. If you ever find her, which I doubt, tell her I miss her terribly.

" I can't believe it. Don't you have a soul? " He asked angrily.

" That's rich, especially coming from someone who doesn't know me at all " She was standing right before him, staring deeply into his green eyes.

" That may be true, but it's not that hard to see how distant you can be. Take your sister for example! " He was staring back at her too, not wishing to be the one who would break the eye contact.

" Why must you mess things up? Everything would have been a lot easier, had you been clever enough "

" What's that supposed to mean?! " She took his hands in hers" We could have ruled Arendelle together, you could have had the throne, you could have achieved your very goal" She looked from their hands to his eyes " You could have had me! "

" Elsa, you -" She didn't let him speak, grabbing the lapels of his jacket, pressing her lips to his. Hans had a hard time registering what was going on. He didn't expect such a reaction at all. According to his beloved, she had always been so distant. It didn't last for long, Elsa pulled back and caressed his face gently. A small smile formed her lips. Hans looked down at her, a sly smile on his face. He chuckled.

" Why did you stop? " She was taken aback by his voice. She didn't imagine receiving such an answer from him . He leaned in and took her lips in his. She placed her arms around his neck as his encircled her small waist. After a few moments, he was the first who pulled back, his forehead resting against hers.

" Mmm, you taste so good!" He said breathlessly and heard her chuckle at that.

" So " Elsa started to say " does that mean you -" He entwined their hands.

" I can't see why anyone would not love to be with you. The Queen of Arendelle " He said with a smirk and Elsa looked away.

" But, there's something we need to take care of first " She looked at him again.

" What? " He squeezed her hands lightly.

" As you know, I am to be married to your sister, but we're already engaged, so " She yanked her hands from his, finally seeing where he was getting to.

" So? " She asked raising an eyebrow.

" So we need to call the engagement off. But in order to do that, we need to find her first.
" So, now I get it. It this all about her? " She asked angrily, narrowing her eyebrows threateningly.

" No, Elsa listen. All I am saying is that we can't be together if I am still engaged to the Princess "

" And to think, I almost believed you " He knew he was lying and hated to admit it, but under those circumstances, there was no other choice. He had to find Anna, no matter the cost.

" That's not what I meant. You're simply overreacting" To that comment, a really furious Elsa spatted.

" I AM NOT OVERREACTING. AND DON'T EVEN THINK TO LIE TO ME AGAIN. HOW COULD I BE THAT STUPID?" She looked down at her hands and smirked. Hans hold out his hands in protest.

" Elsa, please, you don't have to do this. We both know that deep down you don't want to be evil as you appear to be. I am pretty sure that side of yours was created out of fear, self- defence. Don't you see? You weren't the cause..... You're not the cause " She stared at him. How could he assume what she ' d been through? What was he trying to do? 

"And how can you be so sure about that?"

" Trust me " She heard him say " I know what it feels like to be alone. I ' ve been through the same " He placed his hand over his heart " Sometimes fear takes hold of our very existence " She inspected him with great attention. She wasn't aware of his past and of course couldn't say anything about it . Although, what it did matter that moment was the reason that had pushed him into opening up to her. Her sister.... Who else? It was always her, the center of  attention. 

" You can do this. For this time, you won't be alone in this. You have exactly what you need. Your sister! "
" She may be my sister and " She paused trying to find the right words to say.
" And? " His tilted his head to the side. " And yet that' s not enough! " She   yelled back, firing a bolt of magic, not being able to hold back her anger.
