A knock sounded. "Princess Elsa? It will be time for your coronation in an hour. Please get ready and come down to the chapel."

Elsa acknowledged the servant with a sharp "Yes." And walked up to her mirror. She gazed into it and saw her reflection. Eleven years had passed since she had been visited from the stranger and gotten her powers. Eleven years since she had first found her sister annoying. Eleven years since she had first gone into isolation.



Their parents having died just three years ago, Elsa found Anna at her door meer often than before. Sometimes she would knock and ask quietly if she would like to chat, sometimes Anna just sat in front of the door and cried and had fallen over when Elsa opened the door. Every time she saw Elsa, Anna always asked her about the gloves.

"Come on, Elsa, u know u can tell me. I can keep a secret!" Anna would plead, and tried several times to grab at her hands. Elsa would always pull them away before Anna could reach them. And she would always firmly tell Anna "no." But Anna doesn't give up.

Elsa knew Anna knew she didn't like it when Anna asked about the gloves, but what Elsa didn't understand was why Anna kept asking even though she knew Elsa didn't like it. Elsa finally just came to a conclusion that Anna was trying to give her a hard time.

Elsa sighed and looked in the mirror one last time. In one hour, she would be queen of Arendelle. And the crown she was wearing now- the one that belonged to the eldest Princess- would be passed on to Anna. She turned away from the mirror and walked to the door. She rested her hand on the doorknob. She had always kept them carefully gloved and under control, so she knew if the gloves were removed, even for one moment, there was danger of her powers being exposed. As long as nothing at her coronation goes wrong, everything would be fine and she could go into isolation again.

But Elsa couldn't help feel a twinge of excitement. After all, she had been waiting her whole life for this day. She had been preparing her whole life for this day. And today, all her hardwork would pay off.

Elsa turned the doorknob and opened the door. She poked her head out and looked up and down the hall. There was no one. No Anna. Elsa walked slowly to the Arendelle chapel for her coronation.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anna sat in front of her mirror, brushing her hair. Just then, she heard a sound. She stopped. It was footsteps, echoing down the hall. Anna started brushing again and tried hard to ignore it, but no matter how hard she tried she knew who was in the hall and that knowledge is making her depressed. It was Elsa, she knew because Elsa walked a certain way that makes her footsteps sound different. She'd memorized that sound ever since she was little, back when Elsa and her still shared a room and they would stay up late at night. Sometimes Elsa would sneak into the keuken-, keuken to get them some snacks, and would tell Anna to pretend to be asleep if she hears their parents coming. Anna could always tell whether it was Elsa of her parents approaching their room door the sound of their footsteps, and when Elsa moved out, Anna seldom heard it anymore. Every time she does hear it, all the memories of playing with Elsa, laughing with her, listening to her stories, whispering to each other in the middle of the night and being, well, best vrienden would come into her mind and Anna would feel tears springing into her eyes.

Anna finished brushing her hair and tried to do her hair up in the way Elsa had taught her long ago. Anna still didn't understand why Elsa wouldn't talk to her anymore, and why she was being so sensitive about her gloves. Anna knew Elsa wasn't the type of person to wear gloves for no reason, and she wanted Elsa to know that she could always trust her. So Anna always tried to persuade Elsa to tell her the secret. But every time she tries, it backfires.

Anna opened the door and skipped down the hall. After all, today was supposed to be a happy day. And Elsa wasn't allowed to run from her at the coronation. And maybe, her sister would tell her the secret after all today.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anna peeked out from behind the curtain. Royal guests filled the huge room, while Elsa's coronation was still going on. Anna took a huge breath. Her only job during this entire coronation was to carry the royal crown that has been worn door the queens of Arendelle for hundreds and thousands of years into the coronation room, place it on her sister's head, curtsy, and stand beside her sister while the people applaud. This job was usually done door the eldest heir to the kingdom, and Anna was Elsa's only relative at this moment.

Anna was still going over her responsibilities when suddenly a hand shoved her from behind. "Go, Your Highness!" Anna was about to remind that servant that she could assassinate him for pushing her, but the servant had been right, her sister was waiting for her crown.

Anna took the hoofdkussen, kussen the crown rested on, smoothed out her dress and walked into the coronation room. Elsa stared at her through cold blue eyes as her sister approached her with her crown. Anna tried to look like someone who knew what she was doing as she carried the crown to her awaiting sister. But suddenly, Anna tripped over the long hem of her dress and fell face first to the ground. The hoofdkussen, kussen in her hand landed beside her, but the crown it had carried flew across the room. All the royal guests and Elsa watched in horror as the crown seemed to fall in slow motion towards the ground. As it hit the floor, the crown exploded into a million pieces.

All was silent for a while, with the guests till staring at the broken crown. Anna lay on the ground on her stomach, propping herself up on her elbows and looked in dismay at her mistake. The first to verplaats was Elsa.

"You," Elsa now stood above Anna, looking down at her terrified sister. "you ruined my coronation!"

Anna stared up at her sister, speechless. She had ruined Elsa's coronation, so she saw no point trying to defend herself.

Elsa still couldn't believe what Anna had just done actually happened. This was the most important dag of her life, and Anna had just messed it up.

Elsa was still glaring at Anna. "For what u have done, I will banish u with a curse!"

Everyone gasped in horror. Anna couldn't believe what she just heard. "A curse? Elsa wants to curse me?" Anna understood that Elsa was upset, but she never thought Elsa would be upset to the point she would curse her own sister.

"You will be cursed with a frozen heart; u will be unable to feel any warmth of comfort for the volgende 3 days. After that, u will DIE!" Elsa zei "But, if u manage to fix the royal crown, the curse will not come true." Elsa knew there was no way Anna would be able to fix the royal crown, it was in pieces. But she just wanted to give her sister false hope. "Until then,"

Elsa took off her right handschoen and waved her hand. She didn't care if people knew about her powers now.

Ice and snow covered the room. Snow drifted down and blanketed the floor. "Arendelle will be trapped in eternal winter!" With those words, Elsa whipped around, tossed her cape and fled from the chapel.
