Chapter One

Her icy eyes watered as she stared at me. Platinum locks glowing under the sunrise. A silent good-bye on her lips as her hand rose to wave.

Don't let go...

"Alexis?"

I opened my eyes. The image of Elsa now replaced with my parents.

"It's time to go in," my mother informed. They turned me towards the open door. The almost golden room was gigantic and intimidating. It only occupied one table where five strange people stared at me with curiosity, especially the man in the middle.

"You may take the stand."

A little push from my parents moved my feet forward to the center of the room, where the amber light had the brightest glow. I heard the doors shut behind me. A blonde with crystal blue eyes sat at one end while a café colored woman sat on the other end with piercing emerald eyes. Three men sat in the middle. In the center, an auburn haired hazel eyed young man. To his left, a muscular guy with matching dark eyes and hair: on the right, an older gentleman. Silver decorated the hair on both his head and face which complimented the navy color irises. The dark woman at the right end of the curved table stood. I noticed her black hair swayed at her hips.

"It is nice to meet you, Alexis. We are the Traveler Council."

"Hello."

"Let us introduce ourselves. My name is Katrina," she greeted.

The golden blonde at the other end nodded towards me, "I am Arabella."

"I am Boris," the older gentleman said, his voice rich and deep.

"Vincent," waved the other man.

The guy in the center stood up sending a look toward Katrina. A slight frown flashed on her face as she took her seat. I glanced back at him locking my dark eyes with his own. A small smile settled on his lips which I guess was supposed to be welcoming but it sent a chill down my spine.

"Hello, I'm James, the leader of the Council and Travelers. I welcome you."

"Thank you," I responded.

"As we can see, the mission to retrieve you succeeded," he commented.

"We're relieved to see your back with your family," Katrina said.

"Yes, so am I."

"Can you recall how you ended up in your situation?" she asked.

I shook my head, "Before the incident, I had no idea I was a Traveler. Somehow I activated my powers during the argument with my parents and I ended up in a forest during a blizzard," I explained.

"How ever did you survive?" Arabella inquired.

"Fortunately, someone passing by saved me."

Her eyebrows rose, "You are extremely lucky. I couldn't imagine anyone traveling in that weather."

"Oh he's used to it. He is an ice harvester."

"A what?"

"Oh, um..."

"Never mind that! I want to hear more about this world," Vincent declared. "I've never seen it before. I imagine it's mountainous. What century did it seem like? Did you encounter any magical creatures?"

I opened my mouth but I couldn't get a word in.

"Vincent!" Boris snapped. "Please act your age. I swear I don't understand how you have so much energy."

"Oh, so you don't want to question about the culture she might have experienced? She was in a brand new world for at least seven months!"

"I understand but this is a lot to take in. I'm sure she doesn't need to be bombarded with questions."

"No, its fine," I disagreed. "I'm sure you want information."

"Well, let us start with one question," James stated.

"Yes?" I said.

"What was the name of the land you were in?"

"Oh, okay that's easy. It was..."

Blank. The name disappeared from my brain. My mouth closed slowly as my mind became dizzy and fuzzy. No matter what I did, I could not recall anything. It felt like barrier blocked my path to my memories.

"The name?"

"Idon'tremember," I mumbled.

"Excuse me?"

"I don't exactly remember. It's all a… blur" I confessed.

"You spent half a year in world and you can't remember the name?" I could see the annoyance in his eyes.

"I-I'm sorry. I just can't."

"Surely there is something you-"

"James, please," Katrina scolded. "This girl has been through a lot. I think she needs a few days to adjust. We can ask questions later."

I started to question why Katrina wasn't the one in charge. James seemed a little... well to plainly put it, rude.

"Yes, of course. We shall discuss this when you return for your training," James decided.

"What training?" I questioned.

"You are choosing to start your path to become a Traveler, am I correct?" James asked.

"Oh... I mean yes, I am. I didn't know we were starting so quickly."

"Well, you are behind some years. It is wise you begin right away."

"When will this start?"

"We will send someone in a week or so to bring you back to the Center. You will be assigned a trainer once you arrive."

"Alright, thank you," I began to leave but face them once more, "I appreciate your assistance in my family's search."

"Of course, it was a pleasure to meet you. We hope to see you around soon," James's smile returned and so did my chills. I nodded and turned to the doors. As they began to open, my memory flooded back and I remembered Arendelle. I almost turned back to the council to inform them about the name when a strong voice filled my mind.

You promised to Pabbie you would never speak the name.

Startled, I froze in place. I heard Katrina call out to me.

"Is there anything else you needed from us?"

Yes, there is a strange voice in my head. Is there any way you can find out why?

I smiled at her, "No, I'm fine."

I spun on my heel and proceeded out the door. The voice's presence disappeared once I returned to my parents. They both shared a look of worry at my frown.

"Is everything okay?" my mother stressed.

I nodded, "They just wanted to know what happened while I was in Are- the other world. They also told me I start training in a few days."

"Oh... I wasn't aware you were going to become a Traveler," my father said.

"I have this gift for a reason. I thought it be best if I learn how to control them so I don't disappear again."

Uncle Roy elbowed me, "Yeah, don't be lame like your parents."

I smiled but they glared at Roy.

"I think it's best if we head home now," my mother decided. She glanced at my uncle, "Roy, some assistance please?"

"Yes, milady," Roy offered his hand to me. I grabbed it and my father took his other while my mother completed the link by grabbing my hand. Roy's eyes closed; his face serene. I saw the spiral form beneath his feet but I shut my eyes at the bright flash. I opened my eyes carefully and I stood in my house. We released hands and Roy collapsed on a nearby chair slightly exhausted. My mother informed me it was due to how many people he transported on his own. Dad offered to make some food and coffee for everyone.

My eyes darted all over the room. I tried to feel at home. I tried to recognize the place I spent close to twenty one years of my life in but, why did I feel like this house became a foreign world? I suffocated in the open area because my body refused to adjust. My mind refused to settle. This is wrong. This is so wrong. My mother's gentle touch made me jump out of my skin.

"Sweetie, are you feeling alright?"

"Yes," I lied.

I sat uncomfortably on the couch. I shouldn't feel this way. This is my home. This was supposed to be a joyful happy celebration. My eyes were glued to the floor for I felt unable to look at mother. I already knew she wore a look of concern, possibly hurt at my sadness. My father called us into the kitchen. Steaming coffee and what seemed like leftover pasta sat on the table. I plopped in the far seat by the window. They glanced at me so I gave them a tight very unconvincing smile.

The sound of forks clinking on plates sounded deafening. I barely moved my food because I didn't have an appetite. My head pounded and my stomach felt uneasy. I gazed out the window. The city lights illuminated which made me think of her. I fiddled with my snowflake bracelet.

"Aren't you hungry?" Roy wondered. "It's been a long day."

I shook my head.

"Well, is there anything you want to do? Maybe we can watch some TV after you settle in or sit and discuss some things," my mom tried.

"I just want to sleep," I mumbled.

"Alright you go up and rest. We have things to talk about later," they said.

I made my way upstairs and stood outside my door. I placed my hand on the wood but my head slightly turned to the side. The once mysterious closet still remained at the end of the hall. That damn closet that started this whole mess. Part of me wondered if it remained locked. Instead of checking, I faced the wood again and pushed my way inside the room. Things would've been different if I made this choice the night I left. If I had turned away and ignored the closet, I would remain naïve to the truth.

The door clicked close behind me. I stared at my room. My parent must have up kept it while I was gone because it looked clean. A small sense of comfort sprinkled down on me. I touch the light switch. I almost forgot about electricity but my hand fell as I opted to stay in the dark. I shuffled to my bed to find my phone completely lifeless. I placed it on the night stand to charge so I could curl up in my bed. My body drained of energy after a long day of being escorted from room to room as we waited for the council to see me. It didn't help that I had to keep my emotions in check during the damn process.

Instantly, the tears began to fall once I registered I was alone. I felt empty. I didn't realize how distraught this situation made me and honestly, I was ashamed. I needed to be stronger for Elsa, for me. I wasn't going to survive this process if I didn't suck it up and fight my way back to her. Still, I couldn't help myself from falling apart so tonight I allowed myself to mourn. I would cry. I would miss the person who should be in my arms right now. I prayed her suffering would ease off her mind. That we both could keep moving forward until we reunite. I closed my watery eyes and forced myself to escape the world for just a moment.

A/N: So welcome to the Sequel to the Traveler in Arendelle! If you haven't read my previous story, I suggest you do but you can be a boss and start here. So this is a femslash story and I welcome you to review. I respond back to reviews at the end of each chapter.
