Hello there! I am honored to have you bestow your presence on my fic. This is my first fic so please go easy on me. Let me tell you about it. The story "A Heart for a Heart" revolves on how Hans uses Elsa's vulnerability to guilt and debt to get what he wants. Why does Elsa owe Hans? Read on to know ;) Anyway, there also is a bit of Kristanna. So now that I have sort of explained the fic, I would like to present to you Chapter 1 of A Heart for a Heart:

A Heart for a Heart

Chapter 1: What Could Go Wrong?

…..he could get what he wanted this way too.

Hans came to Arendelle for one reason and one reason only: To be King. Any other outcome will not be accepted. He was willing to do anything, just to keep him from going back to the Southern Isles. Lie, steal, kill, you name it. Manipulating was his favorite though. The best part of it is the fact that they don't even know they're being manipulated. But Hans had his mind set to kill Elsa and to be crowned the King of Arendelle, with or without Anna. Killing, he thought, was the only way to get what he wanted without anyone contradicting further.

He ran up the frozen stairs of the palace, a loud thud produced by each step. When he made it to the top, he found Elsa about to kill the goons of the twat of Weselton. Icicles were about to pierce one of them, the other about to fall from the palace balcony. Hans' heart was pounding. He could have just killed her then, she was to busy wiping out the two that he could have just let an arrow go straight through her.

"Queen Elsa," he said in the most concerned tone he could muster, "Don't be the monster they fear you are."

He saw one of the goons of the Duke ready to strike her with an arrow. An array of options stood in front of him, "I could just let her get shot," he thought, "I would be of no fault." But the craziest option pestered him at the last second. 'What could go wrong?' he thought, he could get what he wanted this way too. He would be the hero, her savior. She would be drowning in guilt. She would feel so guilty that she would tend to him, and he could fool her into making her the ticket to his dreams. She looks like a gullible person (not as gullible as Anna but still gullible), full of fear and would let her guilt consume her. Yeah, no one was getting with her, but throw in something that weakens her and you'll be her ruler. His plan may sound insane and it is, but Hans knew she would not let him die, it may be risky but he knows for a reason that snow and ice can heal arrow wounds very quickly. Well, at least he can use the lessons he learned from the abuse of his brothers to his advantage.

So he lunged in front of Elsa, the arrow piercing his chest. 'A heart for a heart.' He told himself. Then everything went black.

Hans collapsed in front of Elsa, blood gushing from his wound. He let out an extremely loud cry of agony and didn't move a limb.

"Hans!" she shrieked as she kneeled down beside him. Cold tears streaming down her face. She didn't know Hans well but she could not bear to see someone suffer. Especially someone who is suffering because of her. The memory of her and Anna as children, the incident, flashed before her eyes. Anna almost died because of her. She wasn't going to let that happen again-not to anyone. Because of her. Because of her powers. Because of her simply being her, people are always suffering.

And as Hans lay on the palace floor, the redness of his blood covered the floor's once icy blue hue. Elsa's heart was pounding. 'I have to save him' she thought 'I will not let him die.' Who knew her secret trips to the library when she was a little girl would actually pay off now? Books on how to heal were her favorite. 'Ironic isn't it? Because the only thing I'm good at is destruction.' It was a temporary fix-up but it would buy her some time. She extracted the bloody arrow as gently as possible. Then, she conjured some snow and put it inside and around the wound. 'Yes, that would do for now. Just to stop the blood flow.' She told herself.

She looked up to see the two men she was dealing with previously before the ever so fast events happened. They were still in the same positions yet still unharmed.

She pulled herself up, the bottom of her dress stained with Hans' blood. Her hands were trembling, but she forced them to stop. She was confused and scared but she knew if she was to save Hans she did not want all these people here.

She did a few hand movements and suddenly the ice that was about to kill the two goons split into two. The two didn't move, they just looked at her. They knew that if they tried to provoke her one more time they were bound to get it. Actually, every conscious person in the room knew that.

"GET OUT." She said loudly, her voice echoing through the ice.

"Queen Elsa please," one of the men who came in with Hans tried to reason.

She spread her arms out wide and she conjured a massive amount of snow, it was so much it looked like it came from that of a snow storm. And she made it a snow storm. She motioned for it to go against all the men except Hans and to throw them out the balcony. And that is exactly what it did. The force of the snow storm Elsa made was so strong that it wiped out everyone out of her castle, leaving just her and Hans.

Elsa walked over to the half-destroyed balcony to find the men she threw out running back to their horses.

'I guess they're going back to Arendelle to get more men. They'll come back, I know they will. And when they do, I'll be ready." She thought. She knew they wouldn't come back now, they're going to plan a fool-proof way on how to kill her.

All of the men were gone now, their horses galloping quickly away. Once they were out of eyeshot, she extended her arms and spread her palms out wide, little wisps of snow started to float. A great big fog started to consume her whole ice palace. It covered the whole palace, making it unnoticeable to the outside world. No one would think there was a giant palace right here, it was practically invisible.

Now that everything's sorted out she ran back to Hans. She kneeled down beside him and continued to tend him with snow. All she needed now was some disinfectant and a way to stitch him up. But so far, things were looking fine, hopefully.

So here we end Chapter 1. Will Elsa save Hans? Where are Anna and Kristoff? Those questions will be answered in the next chapter. Thanks for reading!

P.S. Not forcing you or anything but I would love it if you would leave a review. I'd love to know if the fic is doing alright.
