Who: Queen Elsa and Henry Swan
What: Oops, I started a blizzard, now what?
When: Late Wednesday afternoon
Where: Just outside the Storybrooke House property
Warnings: ...lol Henry and a Disney princess. Srsly?

She didn’t know why she was fighting so hard to get free. What did it matter to anyone if she lived or died? She was a menace, a monster. In her castle on the North Mountain, she’d nearly killed that man. Both of them. Yes, it was to defend herself, but would anyone see it that way? In the end, could she?

She was a monster. No matter what they’d said, she was, it was true, and she had hurt her sister, hurt her kingdom... This was all her doing. Maybe if she were dead, everything would thaw. The storm would rage on for a bit, perhaps, but not for long. It wasn’t as if she could fix it anyway.

By that time, Elsa was running blind against the snow, knowing her beloved storm wouldn’t actually hurt her. It was a comfort, by that point, the cold and the ice and the snow. It was all she’d known most of her life and she was fine with it. Anna would be safe, she’d have a husband and a kingdom and it would be fine. Truly. That was all she needed to know. Her kingdom would lie on her sister’s shoulders and they’d be safe and comfortable shoulders.

It was that peaceful thought that filled her when she realized she was no longer running into the ice surrounding Arendelle, but ice in another location entirely. It seemed she was surrounded by headstones...a cemetery. She was in a cemetery. With strangers. People she'd never met, people who hadn't been there even minutes before.

Maybe she wasn’t quite as ready to die as she thought she’d been.

Panic filled her. She was in danger of hurting these people. They didn't seem to be trying to attack her and while that was a good thing-a very good thing-she couldn't take her chances. The storm that had raged in Arendelle, turning the castle to ice, seemed to have followed her. She couldn't put anyone else at risk because of her. She had to find a place where she was alone. Her isolation, her self-imposed exile.

Taking off running, she dodged strange objects, things she'd never seen back in Arendelle. There wasn't time to dwell on it, not now. Once she felt sure she was safe, that those in this place were safe, then she could contemplate how she'd ended up here. And just where 'here' was.

Hours had gone by before she found a wooded area where she finally felt safe enough to slump against a tree and take time to breathe. What had happened? This wasn't her magic's doing. She didn't have this kind of power. The trolls maybe? Did it even matter? If she couldn't get this storm under control, everyone there could freeze. She just...she didn't know how. Tears sprang to her eyes and she forced them back. "Think logically," she urged herself, not even caring if she was speaking out loud to no one. When one lived almost entirely alone for thirteen years, one tended to do that. "There has to be an explanation. Those things... They're...trade. New inventions, another kingdom..." But even she knew how uncertain her voice sounded.

Henry had been out playing in the snow. Sure it was a blizzard, but he'd promised to stay near the house and considering superheroes and powerful witches/wizards/ his grandpa and his mom were nearby, if he got into any kind of trouble he could just yell and one of them would come running. So he hadn't really been paying attention and had gone outside of the backyard.

He alternated between making snow angels and snowballs, throwing them at the trees, up in the air, just trying to see how far they would go before they either fell apart or landed back in another snowy bank. It was fun and while it was getting to be colder, he figured he had another half hour before he would head back for hot cocoa and fresh cookies to help warm him up.

Henry hadn't expected to hear anyone else while he was wandering about, but the voice sounded kind of frightened, and the more he listened to it the more he figured it had to be someone the Seal had brought to Lawrence. He'd always wanted to help someone new out and this could be his chance.

"Hello," he greeted, peaking around the tree over at the young woman who looked an awful lot like his mom had that one time when there'd been a swap.

Um.

Was it his mom again? She hadn't known about the world either? "Mo--Emma?"

Elsa froze when she heard the voice. Pun not intended. Her whole body went stiff, terror filling her. She turned slowly and caught the eyes of a boy, fairly young, probably not even in his teens yet. He seemed kind enough, but that meant nothing. Was he behind this? Was it his magic that had forced her here? And then he was speaking again and...

"Em...no, I know no one named Emma." She didn't know many people at all, actually. But she certainly wasn't going to be telling a complete stranger that. She hesitated, looking up towards the sky. The clouds were so full of snow they'd turned dark. "Please just...don't come any closer."

She went to lift her hand to stop the boy from approaching and then thought better of it. That would be exactly when she'd hurt him. That was the last thing she wanted. She'd never meant to hurt anyone. Least of all her beautiful, bright little sister. If she hurt this child now, she'd never be able to forgive herself.

"My name is Elsa. I...seem to be far from home." Too far. Further than she had thought possible. This wasn't Arendelle. She didn't even think it was near Arendelle now. She hadn't run that far from the castle. Even she could tell that much.

Elsa? Where had he heard that name before? Henry knew it had been recently. "Like Elsa from Arendelle?" he asked and then mentally smacked himself. It would so probably be a bad idea to tell her about the whole fictional thing if that was who she was. It explained the whole blizzard thing though!

But he also knew that he should listen to her when she said not to come closer. She might have been wearing the new dress that she got during the really popular song but that didn't mean she had any control over her powers. That hadn't happened until the end of the movie.

"You're really far from home. And you kinda can't go back right now. I think one of the grown ups is supposed to explain it all. But do you want some hot cocoa?" Except she didn't get cold. It was the whole ice powers thing.
