damn ice powers Chapter 1, a frozen fanfic

"This is delightful, what is it called?" Elsa asked after carefully chewing and swallowing the light cracker topped with a creamy spread.

"Humus, your majesty" the Ottoman nobleman replied. "It is made from a blend of chickpeas and spices.

"Would these be the same spices that you wish trade with Arendelle merchants?" the queens left eyebrow arched slightly as she slid her finger around the cup and saucer resting in her left palm. The deputy trade minister for the Ottoman Empire had entered this meeting with a self-important grin and she didn't want to encourage any thoughts about the upper hand, regardless if he had it or not.

"A few your majesty"

"Minister Sal-Ibin, according to your proposal Arendelle will have exclusivity for the first 15 years "

"Correct your majesty, Arendelle will be the only kingdom in the entire Nordic region allowed to purchase the listed spices from the empire"

"Nordic region has a somewhat vague definition minister; this will have to be defined in geographically specific terms."

….

Anna took a deep breath as she approached the large black stallion, determined to not let the beast sense any of her fear; the stable master's words from earlier that morning running thru her still agitated mind.

"Best stay clear of ole midnight here your highness, he's too much horse for a tiny little lady like you to handle"

"I'll show that old coot "she muttered under her breath. The princess slid the saddle onto Midnight's back ever so gently, careful not to spook him. After another deep breath to stele here resolve Anna slide her right foot in to the stirrup and pulled herself over. A wave of confidence rolled the copper haired princess as she grasped the reins and led the stallion out of the stable into the courtyard.

Slowly Anna guided the horse around in circles with no difficulties.

"This is too easy" she thought.

Anna was getting the hang of the horse rather quickly, and beaming with pride because of it.

"Hey Anna" Olaf shouted as he approached the mounted princess.

The sight of the snowman combined with his loud voice proved to be too much for Midnight, with a loud neigh Midnight reared back on its hind legs and took off at a full gallop with Anna screaming for help still mounted on the runaway horse's back.

….

"So excluding the UK, everything north of Berlin and west of Moscow is considered Arendell territory for the fifteen year agreement." Elsa voiced as she looked over the more detailed revision of the trade proposal.

"With a three-year grace from any import taxes" the deputy minister added.

"There is no way you are getting three years" Elsa retorted

"Did I say three? I meant two years, sorry your majesty, my Norwegian isn't that good, an error of the translation of course."

"Of course" Elsa replied with a sly grin.

"Your majesty, there is the matter of the tax rate after the two year grace has expired."

"The crown places a twenty-three percent tax on all foreign imports" Elsa told the minister while spreading humus on to another cracker.

….

Midnight's hoof beats filled the courtyard as the mighty creature turned a corner entering thru the gates and into the castle proper. Anna cried out in fear when the horse started down the hallway to Elsa's receiving room.

.…

"Given that we have agreed to a 15 year exclusion deal, a tax rate of 10 % is much more superlative. The minister was pouring a glass of wine while gently sliding the tax condition into the negotiation.

"Minister Sal-Ibin, I thought that subjects of the Ottoman Empire were forbidden to consume alcohol"

"I won't tell if you…." The Arab man could not finish his sentence because at that instant, Midnight crashed thru the door with a screaming Anna on its back. Both Elsa and the trade minister jumped out of their seats.

"What the hell" Elsa shouted as her long blonde braid whipped across her shoulder.

Midnight stomped around in terror neighing until its hoof kicked the bowl of humus of its small table; and landing on top of the Ottoman official's head its contents dripping to the floor.

Elsa quickly ran over and lifted the bowl off his head

"My lord, I am so sorry about this" Elsa Shot her eyes over to the door way and glared at Anna and the horse who at this point was being escorted back to the stable.

"Think nothing of it your majesty, my youngest brother is fond of little pranks like this, sometimes the day doesn't seem complete with some shenanigans. Perhaps we could finalize the trade agreement at dinner if that is to your liking."

"Yes of course, please allow me to apologize once more for my little princess' behavior." Elsa interjected.

"Until this evening your majesty" the man bowed before being escorted out of the room by servants.

….

Anna was straightening out her riding dress while the grooms had just finished coaxing Midnight back into his stall.

Anna let out a laugh as she spoke to the grooms "I guess Midnight was a lot of horse to handle"

"ANNA!"

Upon hearing her name shouted out loud the petite redhead spun around to see her big sisters piercing blue eyes full of rage standing at the stables main entry.

"So, that was wild huh sis" Anna meekly spoke.

"Everyone not in a dress get out" the queen commanded.

As grooms and stable boys quickly exited Elsa walked closer to her now scarred sister.

The red head tried to explain "it was just an accident

"Yes just like last week when you accidently set the Grand duchess of Warsaw's carriage on fire"

"Yes Elsa that was an accident to"

The queen then crossed her arms "Anna do you remember the conversation we had after that event"

Anna paused to think about it; fear blanketed her face when she recalled the part Elsa was referring to.

"Uh yea well um …. BYE." Was Anna's response a split second before she bolted out the door and made a sharp left.

The queen's smirk returned as she raised her index finger. A thin rope made of ice bolted out the door and also made a sharp left.

"Eeeeeeek" Anna shrieked and then screamed out in frustration

"Damn Ice Powers!"

….

The hallway leading to the queen's private chambers was so quiet that the clack of Elsa's ice heels against the floor stones echoed off the walls. Everyone had stopped what they were doing to watch in shock and awe as the queen walked down the corridor with a confident gait, her finger pointed upward with the ice rope extending about four feet above her head and the curling down to make the tight coil starting under Anna's breast and ending about a foot below her knees, her arms constricted at her side under the rope.

"Elsa, come on let's talk about this" Anna weakly cried while floating two feet above the ground behind her sister.

"There is nothing left to discuss, my little princess. You have had this coming for a long time"

Anna noticed the people in the hall and started to plead with them to intervene

"Gerta, please talk some sense into her"

"Humph, perhaps this will teach you to act like a proper lady" was Gerta's reply

Searching the sea of faces she saw Kai.

"Kai, please help me, help your little 'fire headed princess'." Using the nickname he called her when she was little. Kai's face dropped in sadness.

"This is for her own good Kai, you know this" the queen stepped in essentially letting him off the hook, and making a mental note to punish Anna extra for trying to manipulate the soft hearted man's emotions.

"Yes your majesty" the steward answered.

Anna thought it was hopeless until she spotted Kristoff.

"Kristoff, my love" Anna batted her eye lashes together

"Umm... Sorry, urgent Official Ice Master business to attend to" kristoff yelled while running the opposite way down the hall.

"That's not even a thing." Anna shouted at the retreating man.

As Elsa approached her door, Anna's frustration, furry, and fear blended together and came out as she realized that no one was going to help her and she might not get out of this after all. The princess started to struggle against the ice rope with all her might. This made her shoulders move back and forth while kicking her feet.

"OH THIS IS SOME GRADE A BULLSHIT" the helpless red head shouted while Elsa was unlocking the door to her bedroom.

"That attitude will not help you out at all young lady" Elsa commented on her little sister's outburst.

The queen opened the door with her unoccupied hand and walked thru over to her bed. With a puff of steam Elsa dispersed the ice rope and Anna fell to her feet. Seeing this as an opportunity to escape Anna dashed to the still open door, only to have it closed with a blast of ice covering the knob only inches from her extended hand.

"Damn ice powers!" Anna huffed while stomping one of her feet. The queen crossed her arms as she spoke.

"Anna this is going to happen, so the sooner you stop fighting it, the sooner it will be over"

Anna looked around nervously and thought of a tactic. She stood up straight and put on her most regal face.

"Elsa this has farce gone on long enough. Not only am I grown woman, I am also the Crown Princess of Arendelle. No one is going to spank me like a little girl. Now that we have an understanding, Let us discuss this rationally."

Elsa silently glared at Anna with an expression made of steel, while thinking about how cute her sister was trying to act tuff.

Realizing that the tactic wasn't going to work (and exactly how intimidating her big sister could be) Anna immediately resorted to begging

"Elsa please don't do this I'm really sorry. Please, I'm your little princess remember"

Elsa stepped forward and gently took Anna's hand and walked her over to the bed and sat down. By now Anna was standing beside the queen's knees softly crying.

Elsa didn't want to do this and seeing Anna cry was breaking her heart, but she knew this had to be done. Elsa gently placed her hand on Anna's back and started to guide her across her lap. The red head complied by bending over and placing her hands flat on the floor but not without protest.

"No Elsa please don't, I'll be a good girl I promise" tears dripped from her face as barley audible word passed her lips.

Clearing her throat (and trying very hard not to cry herself) the elder sister spoke

"Anna I am doing this out of love and it is going to hurt me more than it will you"

Elsa then placed her hands at the hem of Anna's riding dress and lifted it up over the red head's waist. This alarmed Anna as she realized what was happening. Elsa then grabbed the sides of Anna's bloomers and pulled them to the younger girl's knees. Anna's hand immediately shot up to cover her exposed bottom.

"Not on my bare butt!"

"Yes on your bare butt, and keep your hands on the floor"

Elsa had expected her sister to put up a fight the whole way. Having Anna lying still over her lap crying in fear was actually making this even harder for her. The young queen placed her left arm on princess's back and raised the right one slightly in to air and held it for a brief moment. In this brief moment Elsa lived an eternity of anguish. She hatted this, what Elsa wanted to do was to grab her little sister by the shoulders, stand her up, hug her and say that all is forgiven and then build a whole village of snowmen with her. This is what she wanted to do, what she had to do was bring her hand down for the first strike.

SMACK

"Ahh" Anna gasped.

SMACK

"Ahh ouch! Elsa that hurts"

"Yes Anna, it is supposed to hurt"

SMACK

"Oh My god, what did you do in that room, lift weights?" The princess screamed

SMACK

"Ahh fuck that hurts"

"Language Anna" Elsa chimed in

SMACK

By now Anna Could do nothing but sob, so Elsa started to make sure the lesson was well learned.

"Anna these little stunts and antics you have been pulling have to stop."

SMACK

"You are the crown princess of Arendelle, girls and young women all over the kingdom look to you as a role model, and role models do not pull childish pranks that are unbefitting of royalty."

SMACK

"That little episode during my trade meeting was the last straw"

SMACK

Now Elsa was putting a little more force into the blows

SMACK!

"YOU"

SMACK!

"COULD"

SMACK!

"HAVE"

SMACK!

"STARTED"

SMACK!

"A"

SMACK

"WAR"

SMACK!

Anna started thinking about a war that she might have started… and how much her ass hurt at the moment. When the weight of the situation really became clear in she started crying even harder.

SMACK

"And you knew that horse was dangerous, you could have been hurt or even killed" Elsa scolded and then turned the force all the way up as her own words sunk in.

SMACK!

"YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN YORSELF KILLED!"

SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!

Elsa placed her arms on Anna's back and untouched thighs, holding the princess steady as she wailed and sobbed. After a couple of minutes Elsa cleared her throat.

"Ok sweetie, you can stand up we are finished"

Anna rose to her feet sniffling and softly crying. Elsa stood to speak

"Anna have you learned your lesson"

"Yes, you're Majesty" Anna spoke between the now reducing sobs

Elsa threw her arms around the redhead whose face and bottom now matched her hair; and pulled her in to a tight hug while speaking.

"No Anna, I didn't do that as your queen. I did that as your big sister who loves you. Even if we were two milk maids I still would have done that. I hatted every minute of that but I did it because I love you."

"So I'm you little princess again?" Anna quietly asked

"Anna you have never stopped being my little princess" Elsa replied with tears now streaming down her face.

"I'm sorry" Anna whispered

"I'm sorry for what I did, and I'm sorry for making you punish me."

"I'm sorry to" Elsa whispered back

"I love you Elsa"

"I love You to Anna"

….

"After careful consideration a ten percent rate for the exclusion period seems agreeable." The queen said as she placed her seal and signed the trade agreement.

The door to the small dining room opened slightly catching Elsa's attention. Anna entered the room wearing an elegant gown with her hair in a bun and heels. The room attendant immediately pulled out a chair that faced both Elsa and the trade minister, it was a high backed and finely matched to the other two. The difference between it and the rest of the set were the three soft pillows on top the seat cushion.

The trade minister taking note of this looked to Anna and spoke. "Manny pillows your Highness"

Anna chuckled nervously while gesturing with her hand and gingerly taking her seat. "Oh you know us princesses, all dainty and stuff"

"Indeed" the man replied while glancing over to Elsa. The queen smiled while cocking her head forward at a slight angle and raising her wine glass a few inches. The minister duplicated and returned the gesture. Anna simply turned beet red and tried not to make eye contact with anyone in the room.
