The snow hit Anna's face hard, blinding her, but she and Olaf continued. She held her hand up to shield her eyes when she reached the shore. It broke her heart to see the fjord waters frozen into solid blocks and the ships turned on their sides.

"Kristoff!" she called out weakly. She couldn't see him, but she knew he was coming over the fjord -- and she knew he was her last chance for survival. The ice was still spreading through her heart, making her weaker and weaker. She was determined, but was losing strength with each step.

The winds were picking up as the storm raged throughout Arendelle. The snow continued to fall, and the air was frigid. The ice blocks in the fjord were beginning to shift, which made walking on the frozen surface dangerous.

The snow was swirling wildly now, covering everything. "Whoa!" Olaf cried as the wind lifted him up and took him from Anna.

Not far away, but completely engulfed in the snowstorm, Kristoff was riding on Sven's back, racing desperately toward Anna. As he passed over the fjord, a ship that was wedged in the thick ice in front of him began to shift and wobble. "Come on! Come on!" Kristoff urged Sven.

At that moment, the ice in front of Kristoff shifted again and caused the ship to drop, splintering the surface. Sven bravely jumped over the frigid waters and bucked his rider off to safety. Then the reindeer fell into the water.

"Sven!" Kristoff screamed. "Sven!"

With a mighty effort, Sven leaped out of the water and landed safely on a floating piece of ice. He nodded, signaling that he was all right.

Elsa gasped. "No!" She was overwhelmed by what her powers had done. Her worst fears had come true. "I tried to save her," Hans lied. "But it was too late. Her skin was ice. Her hair turned white. Your sister is dead because of you."

"Good boy," Kristoff called. He turned back to find Anna.

Hans was also out on the frozen fjord, struggling through the storm. He was pursuing Elsa, however -- and he nearly had her. "Elsa!" he yelled loudly through the howling winds. "You can't run from this!"

"Don't try to stop me," Elsa called back to him. "Just take care of my sister."

"Your sister?" Hans laughed. "She returned from the mountain weak and cold. She said you froze her heart."

Barely able to speak, she uttered his name and fell to her knees. "Kristoff."

Elsa dropped to her knees and put her head in her hands.

The storm stopped abruptly in response to Elsa's overwhelming despair. The winds and the driving snow ceased, leaving snowflakes suspended in the air.

In the quiet air, the people of Arendelle gathered at the shore, staring out at the frozen fjord. The view was finally clear, and they could see their queen kneeling on the ice, her head bowed. Prince Hans stood just behind her.

In the sudden stillness, Kristoff finally spotted Anna. She was clutching her chest and her skin was pale, almost white. Her strength was decreasing with each passing moment.

"Anna! Anna!" Kristoff called desperately as he ran toward her.
