"Wake up Anna."

I tossed about in my bed, still groggy from last night's sleep.

"Mmmph."

"Seriously Anna, you've been sleeping for almost ten hours now."

"Wait…really?"

"Uhhhh…yeah."

I guess it was time to get back to work on royal stuff. I was never one to act like I was royal though. But I had to help my sister keep her mind on track.

"Give me five minutes."

"Well, hurry up, Kristoff is waiting for you."

Oh yeah, sure…"royal stuff"…

"Ok. Hey Elsa…"

"Yeah Anna?"

"Is there something you aren't telling me?"

"Ummm…no."

I finished getting ready, and went to go find Kristoff. He was waiting for me just outside the gates.

"Hey Kristoff!"

I ran towards his open arms and he hugged me.

"Hey Anna, I've been waiting for you."

"Yeah, I know. Sorry, I slept a little late."

"Don't worry about it. I've done it before too. I was almost late for work. Anyways, did your sister tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

"The Southern Isles…"

"What, what about them?"

"They're planning to attack Arendelle."

"Oh my God… how do you know?"

"I overheard Elsa on her balcony last night talking to herself… well. I think she was talking to herself."

"I knew she had something to tell me. I have to go, Kristoff. See you later."

He gave me a kiss on the cheek and went on his way. I headed up to Elsa's office, but the door was locked. I could hear voices inside…it sounded like Elsa and Kai arguing… no, not arguing, there was a sense of fear in Kai's voice.

"I've never heard that before."

Noticing that Elsa was busy, I left to go back to find Kristoff when I noticed there were three ships at the dock… three ships that weren't from Arendelle, but were from The Southern Isles. I ran through the gates, knowing that Kristoff had been there just minutes ago.

"Kristoff?!"

I yelled for him, but got no response. I continued to yell for him, when suddenly a bag was slipped over my head and I was being drug around. I didn't know where I was, or where I was going, or...who my captors were. I was scared.

"Get her in the ship"

I heard a voice demand… it sounded like… I couldn't quite get it. I knew the voice, but I didn't know who it belonged to. Next thing I knew, I was on the ground and I heard a metal door slam. I had been taken captive by the Southern Isles. Surely Elsa knew they were here. She would find that I was missing, and then she would come find me.

"Anna?"

God… I recognized that voice too. It was…Kristoff's voice! They had taken Kristoff too. I slipped the bag off my head and looked to see where it was. There was somebody standing in front of me. I looked up and gasped.

"You!"

"Ha-ha…yes, me. You took away what I love Princess Anna of Arendelle, but now it's your turn to lose somebody you love."

"I already did. I lost my parents five years ago."

"Oh, that's too bad. You're gonna lose somebody else you love."

It was Prince Hans. I had a feeling it was him behind this.

"Anna, don't talk to him." I heard Kristoff say.

I looked around and saw Hans heading for his cell. He opened it up and kicked Kristoff in the stomach. I could hear him scream, but I couldn't look. I couldn't bear to see the sight of Kristoff getting hit by Hans.

"Stop." I said.

Hans turned and looked at me.

"Stop? You want me to stop hurting your boyfriend? Ok, then I guess you'll take the hits for him?"

Everything that I thought said no, but I loved Kristoff. I couldn't just see Hans beating on him like that. So, for the better of Kristoff, I let Hans come over and I took Kristoff's punishment for him. After about three hard kicks, I passed out. When I awoke, I was in the Southern Isles and found no sign of Kristoff. I climbed out of the bed they had chained me in and tried to walk around my cell, but I was stopped short by a stinging pain in my side. I pushed on it with my hands, and it stung even more. Hans had bruised me, but that was the worst of it. That wasn't important at the time; I needed to find what they were doing with Kristoff.
