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

Chapter 17 - Here Comes the Next Storm

Anna

I arrived at Arendelle a few hours later to be welcomed back by Michelle, Kristoff and Sven. Timothy was among them to and they all smiled that I was alive. But Michelle noticed me gripping my shoulder and her eyes glittered with wonder and worry.

"Mama, what's wrong?" I smiled at her as I limped towards them, breathing raspy. "Nothing Michelle, I-I'm f...."

"Anna!" "Mama!"

I woke up, maybe a few minutes later, and I was in my bed with the fireplace on a few feet away. A bandage wrapped around my injured shoulder. My hair was let loose, spilling over the pillow like a blue ocean.

My clothes were beside me on a flowery chair and I only wore a black bra and my pants. Sweat beaded down my face as I glanced around the room. I was alone until the door opened, revealing Kristoff and Timothy.

They were both relieved to see me alive and well. Kristoff came over and kissed me on the forehead while Timothy sat down beside me, crossing his legs as Kristoff helped me sit up. "How're you feeling?"

I gave a small smile to both of them, taking a deep breath. "Fine, mostly. If your wondering Elsa did this, then yes she did. Might as well not hid the truth." Timothy seemed sad while Kristoff's eyes flashed with anger and hatred. "I'll...."

I held up my finger to stop him. "Don't say you'll kill her because, she already is. And, she wasn't the same one as when she had cursed our child Kristoff."

He frowned but Timothy was the one to say something. "What do you mean, my Queen?" I laughed at the my queen part. "You don't have to call me that Timothy," I said making him smile. Until I got into detail about what exactly happened.

They both were so shocked and surprised, I was surprised their jaws didn't drop down right to the floor. "She, wait what?"

I sighed. "She kept screaming my name and such nonsense, that I'm pretty sure this whole new Snow Queen thing is affecting her more and more. She wasn't the same Elsa that had stormed in here to get rid of her powers. She was at first but everything changed when I beaten her. It was like, her whole personality changed again."

I looked down at the covers, playing with my strawberry blonde hair as Kristoff responded. "She said herself that you and her would die when the baby is born. Anna," he got to his knees and took my hand. I looked up at him, his brown eyes shining with worry. "Did she say anything about that? Someway to stop that from happening?"

I looked at him sadly. "No, all she said was that soon we would both die and that we would be together again. That's it."

He sighed and Timothy got off the bed, grinning. "I will leave you too to sort this out. I have to go see if I can thaw my mother," and he turned to leave. When he had the door half open, I gasped and gripped my stomach.

His head snapped back and Kristoff's worry grew more. "Anna, what's wrong?"

My eyes were wide from shock and pain. My stomach felt like it was freezing inside, like when my heart had been. "The baby," I gasped out and that made Kristoff sprint to his feet. "Is it?"

I nodded already knowing what he was going to say. "It's coming," and I screamed out in pain. Timothy's eyes grew wide but he didn't run over yet. "But, you're not even showing yet!"

I screamed louder and Kristoff's head snapped towards Timothy. "Go get a nurse or something, hurry!"

My eyes were squeezed shut from the pain. It was agonizing, nothing like when I had had Michelle. This was truly agonizing.

I opened my eyes to see Timothy start to walk out the door and I heard him say, "here comes the next storm," and he bolted out the door as my screaming echoed throughout the castle.
