Frozen Frost II: Chapter 3 - Burning Tempature

The next day, Anna woke with a start a few hours later. Looking around, she noticed she was in her bed and in her nightgown, and she sighed, flopping back down onto her pillow. She heard the door open, and smiled when Elsa walked in.

"Hey there sleepy head. You feeling okay?" she asked, walking over to her and sitting next to her on the bed.

"Hi. I'm alright. Just I have a lot on my mind."

“Hmm? Like what?” Elsa asked with worry.

Anna didn’t want to worry her. She already had enough on her plate. “You know what? It’s not important.”

“Well…all right” Elsa didn’t like the sound of that but she wasn’t one to pry. "Well if there’s anything I can do just let me know…okay"

“Okay. Well there is one thing. How did I get here? My memory is a little blurry.”

“You were taking a while trying find Olaf and Sven. Kristoff, Jack and I were getting worried so we went after you. We found you lying in the forest. When we couldn’t wake you up I got so scared we thought you were…oh, I can’t even say it.” Elsa suddenly took Anna in her arms. Then Elsa started to feel the temperature of Anna’s body.  It was burning hot, stinging her body. Elsa quickly pulled away.  “Anna…you’re burning hot! Your whole body is! How did this happen?”

Anna raised an eyebrow. “I am?”

“What? How can you not feel it? You’re so hot that it hurts to touch you!” Elsa yelled.

“What!? That’s impossible.” Anna’s heart started to race. “Well…maybe I’ll just take a cold bath.”

Elsa shook her head. “No, Anna. This is serious and unnatural.” She thought for a second. “I know. I’ll ask Kristoff to get Pabbie. He’ll know what to do.” Elsa got up from the bed and opened one of Anna’s bedroom windows, the one that was closest to her. “That’s all I can think of doing right now. Just relax and rest for a bit.” She went to the door went to find Kristoff.

Anna just watched her sister leave the room for a few seconds then dragged herself over to the window, holding onto her arms gently, trying to hold herself together. How had this happened? This was not normal. She wished her memory wasn’t so blurry then maybe she could come up with a conclusion as to why she was like this. She stared out the window at the beautiful day. It was days like this that would always make her smile…but this time it didn’t.

Elsa sped walked into the living room where Kristoff and Jack were. When she entered they had worried looks on their faces, hoping to hear good news about Anna. "Well, she’s awake.” Elsa informed them.

“Oh, thank god!” Kristoff sighed letting all the tenseness from his body disappear. “Is she alright?”

“That’s the thing. Her body temperature is not normal. When she first woke up she seemed fine but when I went to hug her she was burning hot. Really hot.”

“What? Are you sure?” Jack was shocked.

"Yes. Something is seriously wrong with Anna.” Elsa turned to Kristoff. “That’s why I need you and Jack to go and bring Pabbie here so find out what’s wrong with her.”

“If it will save, Anna I will do it. But first I want to say goodbye to her.”

“Of course.” Elsa moved out of his way so he could go in the direction of Anna and his’ room. Elsa walked over to Jack. Jack opened his arms wide for her. Elsa ran into his welcoming arms. “I hope she’ll be okay.”

“This is all so strange. Things like this don’t just happen.” Jack said while holding Elsa tightly. “Kristoff and I will try to be quick.”

“Thank you.” Elsa gave him a loving kiss.
