                                                 Evelyn's P.o.V

As soon as I wake up, I bolt out of bed and run.  I go down the stairs and think of the places mom and dad could possibly be.  I run to the library, the dining hall, then to the study.  I finally find them there in the study.

They look up, worried, as I run in.

"Evelyn, what's wrong?" mom asks, getting up.

"A dream.  I had a dream.  Probably a nightmare.  Ben, we were in a cell, he was beaten up.  He warned me that Pitch was coming for me.  He said he was mad that I got away.  We think he made up have that dream so he could come for me.  He told me to run and protect myself." I say, my heart pounding.

Mom and dad look at each other.

 "Come here, Evelyn." dad says.  I walk over to him.  He gets up and hugs me.  "Just think of it as a dream.  It wasn't real, it wasn't a message, it was just a dream."

"But-"

"Don't be scared.  If we can weaken him, he can't hurt you.  Whatever you do, you can't be scared."

"What if he really has Ben, though?"

He's silent for a while.  "I don't know, sweetie.   He could be there or he could be home.  There's no way to tell."

"Yes there is." I say, stepping back from dad's hug.

"What?" he asks in disbelief.

"I can fly to his house.  Then I'll know if he's really hurt or if he's alright." I tell him.

"No!" mom and dad exclaim at once. 

"Evelyn, you can't do that.  One of us would have to go with you and even that is too risky!" mom says.

"But mom!  I have to know if he's alright!" I plea.

"You're mother's right.  There's no way you're leaving this castle until everything's fixed." dad says.

"Dad!  You're telling me I can't even walk around Arendelle!?" I exclaim.

"Not without someone with powers next to you." he says.

"That's not fair!  I should be able to walk around my kingdom!  Mom, please tell me you agree with me!" I beg.

"I... I have to side with your father.  We can't have anything happen to you again." she says.

I back away from them in disbelief. "You're telling me not to be afraid when you two are so paranoid about me you're willing to sacrifice my freedom!?  I've told you this a million times, I can hold my own!!  Did you not see me earlier today!?!?  I never thought me being with you two meant I couldn't even leave my own house!!  I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU TWO!!" I yell.

I run up to my room, angry tears flooding my eyes.  I hear their footsteps behind me and my name being called, but I ignore them.  I go as fast as I can and run into my room.  I shut the door, lock it, then freeze it so they can't get in.  I do the same to the other doors and windows.  I close the curtains so they can't see in, too.

I furiously pace around my room.  How can they keep me in this castle!?  Why do they think that's okay!?  I hear them banging on the door and trying to freeze the lock open.  I cover the door in another layer of ice to block them out.  They deserve it.  If I can't leave this castle, they'll regret making me stay in.

I think back to the dream I had.  I look at the door, sensing how frantic they are to get in.  I hear dad testing the windows.  I have to do this.

I remember seeing mom making a cloud to fly with.  I try a couple times, but fall back to the floor.  Eventually, I can fly around for a while on it, but it's night by that time.  There's no way I'm falling asleep, but there's no way I'm going out now since mom and dad are out working and might catch me.  I just fly around on my cloud until morning.

I hear mom knock on my door to try and tell me how "it's for my own good" and all that crap.  I can tell dad is out by my window in case he can get in.  I go into my bathroom and close the door.   I need to see if Ben's okay.

I never thought I would ever use this, but I need to get out.  In my bathroom closet is a small passageway to the other side of the castle, probably some safety thing or something.  I'm not sure if they know about it, but it's worth a shot.  I open the crawl space and go in.  I close it behind me and go.  

I reach the other side of the castle in a couple minutes.  I look around to make sure no one's there, then crawl out.  I go to the nearest window and climb out onto the roof.  I go to the edge and look back.

"Sorry, mom.  Sorry, dad.  But this is for my own good." I say to myself.  I make my cloud and fly off.

                                                Elsa's P.o.V

My worst fear is coming true.  Our daughter is shutting us out.  Jack did as he promised and tried to freeze her lock shut and is doing everything he can to get into her room so she won't shut us out, but it's not working.

As I try to reason with her, I feel the strength of the ice weakening.  I rush over to the window.

"Jack!  Come here!" I call.  He's been patrolling Evelyn's windows in case she shows herself.

He flies in quickly.  "I think she may be asleep or something.  The ice is weakening." I tell him.

"Let's try thawing it." he says.  I hopefully thaw through her ice and step back.  Jack freezes her lock and turns the knob.  We both sigh of relief and go in her room.

When we go in, she's not there.  

"Where is she?" Jack asks, looking around.

"The bathroom door is closed." I say, pointing to it.  I go over and knock, then get no reply.  I crack the door open and peer in.  She's not in there either.  I swing the door open.  "Where the hell is she!?"

"I don't know!  Pitch could've come, she could be hiding, she could've hid and is now out in the castle or in town!  She could be anywhere!" Jack says, running his hand through his hair.  "Why did I have to tell her she couldn't leave the castle?  Why do I have to be so damn paranoid!?"

"Well we have to look for her!" I say.  "Anna and Kristoff need to take over for a while while we look."  We look at each other, then Jack nods.

We tell Kristoff and Anna everything, then fly off.
