(AN: Hello! This is my very first story that i have created, so things may be misspelled and may be in the wrong format. I am aware of these things. This story is dedicated to the wonderful "Alice8therabbit". Without her this story would not exist! So enough of my rambling. Onto the story! Please review if you wish, and please, kind words thank you.)
"Elsa! Honestly if you continue fighting with me about this I will be forced to call the doctor!" Anna threatened. "No! No, no don't do that!" Elsa sat up too quickly, throwing one pillow to the ground and displacing the other. "You don't understand, when I get sick, I can't-" She opened her mouth to say more, but instead of words, a sneeze came out, triggering several precarious icicles to form on the ceiling. "I can't...control it." she finished, slouching back.
Anna chimes in "Come on Elsa. That's what you said when you hid your powers, you learned to control them!" she says after recovering from the icicle startle. "Yes, but I can't control being- a...a...aCHOO!" Elsa sneezed again, this time unintentionally creating a small flurry that surrounded her canopy bed. She reached for a tissue and held it up to her nose as she she grumbled, "I can't control being sick. I never get sick...Anna, you're going to catch something or be impaled by ice if you stay too long!" Elsa yells.
"Well I have to do something! What can I do?" Anna asks, trying to be helpful.
It was clear she wasn't going to leave until she felt like she was doing something useful. Elsa sighed at this, rubbed her eyes, and finally answered. "Tea, I...I could use some tea." She didn't really drink tea, but if Anna was happy with the task, then there wasn't much Elsa could say.
"Ok I will be right back!" Anna left the room happy that she could help. "Hmm, I though she doesn't drink tea, but if it makes her happy I'll do it!" she says to herself as she walks to the kitchen to ask one of the servants to prepare some tea.
After Anna left, Elsa snuggled back into the covers and tried to make herself comfortable, but everything was aching and everything felt sore. She kept on sneezing and coughing, and in three minutes time, there were sheets of ice coating her floor in some places, and snow drifts as high as her desk in others. She felt awful. She'd never been sick like this, and it worried her.
Anna quickly walks back up the hall with the tea and opens Elsa's door, only to almost slip on the newly formed ice. "Elsa! We need to do something! It seems to be getting worse!" Anna walks over to Elsa and hands her the tea.
"I don't know what to do!" Elsa exclaimed with that same raspy tonality. "I've...I've never had to deal with this before!" She accepted the tea, wincing at the heat the glass contained but thankful for it all the same. But when she brought it to her lips, the temperature of the liquid inside was too much of a contrast from her daily and sickly cold. It burned her mouth and shocked her enough to cause her to drop the cup. It shattered on the ice and splayed glass all over the floor. "Sorry..." Elsa mumbled, "I...I wasn't ready for that..."
"Oh no I should be the one who is sorry, it shouldn't have been that hot!" Anna bends over and starts picking up the glass, only to slip on the ice and fall."Anna!" Elsa cried out, flinging herself off the bed and coming to kneel beside her sister. She wrapped her arms around her shoulders and helped her up off the ice slightly. "Are you alright? The glass didn't cut you?" Elsa asks worried.
"No no I'm fine!" realizes that Elsa is out if bed. "What are you doing?! You need to be in bed!" Anna scolded and helped Elsa back in bed. "You shouldn't be getting out of bed in your condition! Until your better, you will be living in this bed!" Anna scolded.
"I didn't want you to be hurt!" Elsa defended, "And I have things to do Anna; papers to fill out and laws to sign...I can't afford to be sick like this...I can't be babied about it, I'm twenty one! I just...I just need to...to get up..." There was another sneeze, and although it didn't produce any sort of winter weather, it was forceful enough to slam Elsa's head into the headboard of the bed.
Anna gasps "NO! You are not getting out of this bed!" Anna grabs her sister's head and looks at it "are you okay?!"
"Anna, please." Elsa tried weakly to brush her sister's hands away with little success "If I cough or sneeze, you're guaranteed a cold...if this is even a cold...oh, just let me get up!" Elsa said annoyed.
"No Elsa, you could hurt yourself and others! You have to stay in bed until this... thing... blows over!" Anna lightly pushes her back into bed.
"I can...I can wear the gloves Anna...here...just hand them to me...I'll be fine..." Elsa pushed back just a little harder, still trying to convince the younger girl that she could do this. As she did so, she watched a trail of ice start sneaking from her finger tips, across the covers, and up onto Anna's dress towards her chest. Elsa gasped and thrust Anna away. "Move!" Anna gets up and slips on the ice, she falls "oofh!" "What is it Elsa?"
"It was...headed for your heart." Elsa whispered almost incoherently. "I just...didn't want to take the chance...would you...hand me the gloves, please?" "Oh, I-I'm sure it can't happen again I mean lightning doesn't strike twice right?" Anna says hurried and chuckles nervously. She hands Elsa her gloves "why do you need them? You can't leave your room Elsa."
"It's just a precaution." Elsa whispered nervously, sliding on the silky covers and clenching her fists a few time to...warm them up, she supposed. "In case...you come in or someone else does...maybe it'll stop the ice...that didn't reach your heart, did it?" Anna checks herself "no it didn't, you still can't leave Elsa, and I don't want you to hurt yourself or anyone else." Anna says, she still isn't quite comfortable with the idea of Elsa leaving her room. "Believe me, I wouldn't want that either." Elsa still wasn't all too fond of the idea of being locked in here by her baby sister either, so she started looking for loop holes that couldn't end it disaster. "...I'll join you for dinner though." "I could bring your dinner up here. You just need to rest for now." Anna tries to reassure her sister. "Anna...there's just so much to do..." Elsa sighed, "And what about you? I can't...I'm not at my best...but if something goes wrong...I can't be locked in here."
Anna sits, pondering. She then comes up with a possible solution. "Elsa! Maybe I could run Arendelle for the day! I think 'Queen Anna of Arendelle' sound rather nice!" Elsa just responded with that look she always gave her sister when Anna comes up with a horrible idea, but Elsa can't bring herself to tell her. Anna sighs..."Fine. BUT, if one thing goes wrong Elsa, you're going back to bed rest! Deal?"
"Deal." Elsa said with a tired grin. She swung her legs over the edge and shivered. Was she...cold? She felt so strange...chilled...for the first time...ever. She looked at Anna and frowned. "That's...that's what it feels like?" she whispered. "What?" Anna asks curiously. "C-cold..." Elsa chattered. "I'm...I'm cold..."
"You're... Your cold?" Anna grabs Elsa and helps her walk. Elsa nodded slowly as she wrapped her arms around herself and shook. "D-do you have a...s-s-sweater, by any chance? Or a w-w-winter dress?" Yes I do!" Anna runs down the hall, only to come back with the outfit she wore when she left to find Elsa. "T-thanks..." Elsa immediately started to fumble with the cloak before managing to drape it over her own shoulders. She'd put the actual dress on in a moment. "If t-t-this is what everyone felt like during the eternal winter...then...I und-d-d-derstand why they thought I was a monster...this...isn't the g-g-greatest..."
Anna chuckles "yeah, but remember that you didn't know, you couldn't control it!" "R-r-right..." Elsa glanced towards her changing curtain, then back at Anna. "Ex-c-c-cuse me...just one second...I'll go put this on..." She slowly walked over to the fold up and began to change. Once the other dress was fully on, though, she began to cough heavily, covering her mouth with the crook of her elbow to stop any escaping germs and such. When she pulled her arm away, she found the sleeve of her sister's dress had been coated with fine white snowflakes. This was...new. "Anna?" she called, "Something's...something's not...n-n-n-normal about this."
Anna walks over "what? What's not normal?" she looks at the sleeve and gasps "Elsa... That's not normal." "So I've noticed." Elsa responded, struggling to stand up straight. "B-b-but...it could be worse right?...d-d-do you mind if we step out of m-m-my room? T-t-to talk? It's probably...warmer..." "Of course!" Anna helps Elsa walk out of her room. "I think I already know but, what is it you wanted to talk about?" "Thank you." Elsa breathed a heavy sigh of relief when the hallway proved to be a good ten degrees warmer than her own room.
"I...well, you go ahead, if you think you know. If not, I'll clarify." We need to talk about what's going on with you?" "was that right?" Anna said fiddling with her hands. Elsa nodded grimly and started to toy with her gloves. "I think...I think we should go to the trolls. Later tonight, so we don't disturb the staff. If it's alright with Kristoff, we'll take Sven. I just...I just want to be sure of what's going on. I don't want you get hurt if something's happening..." Okay, but how are you going to go through the rest of the day?" Anna asks. "I'll...spend the day in the gardens. No one will be out there, so...there won't be any reason to worry." She could tell Anna was still concerned, so she followed up with, "I promise I won't get into any trouble, alright?" "Okay, but if one thing happens. We are going straight for the trolls then and there!" Anna stops her foot for emphasis. "Yes ma'am." Elsa mocked with a fake bow. She grinned then and, still bent over, whispered jokingly, "You've stomped on the ground. This must be really serious." Just because the Queen was sick didn't mean she couldn't try to be humorous.
Anna raises a brow to Elsa. "it is, what will I do in the mean time?" "Stay safe and don't get sick...and come get me if there's trouble of any sort. If you start feelings chills or coughing, or if Kristoff does either of the same, let me know right away and make sure you ask him if we can take Sven. Can you do that for me, Princess Anna?" Elsa offered another long, ridiculous bow and grinned. "I can do that queen Elsa!" Anna bows as well, acting like she has higher authority than the Queen herself. "Thank you." Elsa rose fully and nodded at her sister before turning on her heel and making her way down to the garden, as promised. It must have already been after noon, judging by the sun. She wouldn't have to wait too long to head off towards the trolls...
