FROZEN 3: Elsa and Jack Frost

Several gasps went through the crowd as the townsfolk began to whisper.

Everyone was confused.

"Kris… Kristoff!" Anna cried out, her voice was cracking even more now.

She took one step closer to him, "What are you saying?"

Nearby, Olaf that had waddled on his twig feet toward them with the tray of steaming cups of cocoa in his tiny hands, stopped in his tracks.

He mouth fell open but no words came out of them as the tray slipped out from his hands, falling to the floor and splashing the liquid cocoa onto the cobblestone.

Gently with his teeth hanging out, low, on his lips, he trudged up to Anna.

"What's going on?" he whispered. 

"I… I don't know," she said.

Panick was starting to set in.

"Kristoff!" Anna shouted again, louder this time to get his attention to her.

"Wha… what are you doing?"

Kristoff smiled to himself—- though to the crowd it looked like he was smiling at them— and turned back to her.

There was no softness in his eyes when he looked at her.

"What does it look like, Anna? I'm taking the throne."

Anna felt her head spin.

The man she loved, the man she was engaged to, was standing in front of her like he was a stranger, like they were strangers.

"But… why? We're engaged! What's mine is yours, Kristoff. You don't need to do this."

It seemed like her words ripped off something from within him because the calm look on his face snapped.

"Arrrgh! I've been trying to be gentle!"

She flinched.

He had never shouted at her, NEVER.

Kristoff faced the crowd of townsfolk again.

"Today, I claim what should have been mine all along! Bow to your king!!" he declared.

Anna's eyebrows twitched.

She folded her hands at her sides as they shook while she closed her eyes.

Hans' face was popping up in her mind, she could hear his voice loud and very clearly like he was right there beside her…

Taunting her:

'You're so naïve.'

'Did you really think I would marry you just like that?!'

'I had 6 older brothers so I didn't stand a chance to rule. But you came along and I well… took the opportunity.'

'All I wanted was the throne.'

Anna's shoulders trembled while she turned her face away, blinking very quickly to hold the tears that were gathering up in her eyes.

She saw a flashback of Hans tiling her jaw up with his fingers and telling her to her face:

"Oh Anna, if only someone truly loved you." 

'So I'm just an opportunity?'

Olaf placed his left twig hand on her arm to comfort her.

"It'll be okay, Anna," he said softly.

Anna closed her eyes and took in a deep breath. 

When she opened them again, turned to look at her fiancé.

Kristoff smiled, happy that she was going to let go of the throne without much fuss.

But his smile dropped when Anna gave her command.

"Seize him!"
