"You can't do this!"

I watched as Lawrence walked up to me, stepping over Elsa's still body.

I laid on my back, vision becoming blurry as Lawrence grabbed me by the throat and lifted me up in the air.

My stomach and chest burned with pain from the fireball Lawrence had threw at me and I gave a slight scream when he picked me up.

"Oh Anna," Lawrence whispered. "I can you know why?"

A tear fell down my cheek as he leaned to my ear and whispered, "because everyone is dead."

And then he squeezed my throat and I gasped out in pain. I felt his nails dig into my throat and blood fell down from my neck where his nails were digging in and dropped to the ground.

Then he smashed me into the hard concrete ground, and I heard my head crack and everything went dark.

The sound of nothing made me wake up. It was way to quiet.

I slowly opened my eyes and the view of the ashey concrete ground and broken ice covered stairs were the first thing to meet my vision.

I laid on my side and rolled on to my back. I coughed and looked over to my right and saw the broken chandiler beside me.

Slowly I got up, grimacing in pain as I got to my feet. My world tilted but I kept my ground. I had no idea what Lawrence had done to me but I reached my hand to my nose and when I pulled back, it was red.

I looked over to the doors and saw that they were wide open, and that fire covered the doorway, blocking my way to the outside world.

Just then did I realize that Elsa and Lawrence were going to Michelle and Kristoff. To kill them.

The memory rolling back into my mind, I looked around me, but found no other way out. Well, not a safe way.

I saw windows above me, but they were covered with gold ice. Except I had no other choice. So I climbed up the stairs, carefully going up them because of the ice and ran to the closest window near by.

I looked it up and down and pulling my sword out I started hitting it. And hitting it. And hitting it. The ice gave way and smashed into pieces after like, the tenth hit.

Gasping, I looked out and saw the blackened grass below me. It wasn't that far down. The least I could do was twist my ankle. If I landed badly.

So taking a deep breath, I jumped. My stomach felt like it flew away from under me and when I hit the ground, I landed on my feet.

I smiled but got back to seriousness when I remembered Michelle and Kristoff were in trouble.

I placed the sword back in the pouch by my side and ran. I ran like I was being chased by something that would crush me.

Except I knew I was never going to make it. I didn't even know where they were. Until I saw Sven rise frim the smoke and it sounded like he called my name.

I gasped. "Sven!"

I ran towards him and noticed that he had a long gash a long his side. He motioned with his head to jump on and I did.

I leaned in close to his ear. "Take me to them," and he did.

He turned back towards the gates and ran as fast as his hooves and legs could go. With the bloody gash on his side, he was slower than usual, but he was fast.

A few minutes later, we came to the village. To a small house that was now ashes spread out on the cold damp grass.

I jumped down from Sven, world spinning but I snaped out of the haze.

I stumbled over and saw a small figure blending in with the ashes. I gasped.

Michelle.

I ran over to her and knelt in the ash, picking her up gently in my arms.

"Michelle?" She opened her eyes, revealing the greyness of them. Though that grayness was fading.

"Miss." Her voice was barley a whisper. I looked down and saw a huge circle on her stomach. Indicating she was hit with a fireball.

"Lawrence..." "He did this to me," Michelle interuppted. "Not your sister."

I looked straight in her eyes. "Where's Kristoff?"

She smiled. "He got away and Sven went to go look for you. And I guess he found you." She coughed black blood and when she stopped, her whole chest was covered with it.

I couldn't focus why her blood was black right now. I smiled down at her, a tear falling down my cheek. "Hey, you're gonna be okay. Alright? You're going yo survive."

She gave a small laugh, her eyes half closing. "Remember when your parents died, you would always come up to me when you were sad because you couldn't go to Elsa."

More tears were coming now and I didn't have the strength to talk. So I just nodded.

"And I told you, that no matter how sad you felt how alone you felt, you were never really alone. That your parents were never really gone but always looked after you, even when you didn't know it. It's gonna be like that for me. Because, Anna, I will always be here for you."

Tears dropped on to her wound but she didn't feel it. Because all the pain was gone.

"No Michelle, you can't leave me. I need you here," I told her but it just made her smile. And the last thing she said to me was, "be strong, miss."

Then she was gone. She went limp it my arms and her eyes closed, her head falling back.

I stared down at her. Gently I placed her on the ground, back in the ashes that blended so well with her skin, it made me cry so hard. I screamed.

I punched the ground hard with my hands and kept doing it. Only stopping when my hands hurt and I ran out of tears.

Lawrence did this to her. He killed Michelle. There was no way he was getting out of this one.

I was just going to take it easy on him but after this. After he murdered one of my people. Not only Michelle but half the villagers and royals! He was dead. And I meant it.

I rose to my feet, the dizziness completely gone and I pulled my hair out of the twist bun and french braid and pulled it up into a ponytail.

I wiped away the now dried blood under my nose and made sure my sword was still in it's pouch. It was.

I spun around and went over to Sven. He stood there, a sad expression on his face but when he saw me, the expression disappeared and became worried, serious and concerned.

I jumped up on to him. "Go to the fjord Sven, and hurry," I told him. He nodded and ran away from Michelle, away from the village.

I glanced behind me and looked at Michelle's still body until it was out of sight.

I was going to end all of this. I would let Lawrence talk about his curse and why he's doing this. But after, he was dead.

He thought I was his undoing and guess what? He was totally right.

I was the princess after all. I was the Princess of Arendelle. And I would avenge my people. I would avenge Michelle. Sven. Kristoff. Olaf who I hadn't seen in forever, I had a horrible feeling he had melted.

And most of all, I would avenge Elsa. And I would avenge my parents.

I wasn't just princess Anna anymore. I was stronger, braver.

I was a warrior.
