PART TWO
CHAPTER ONE
Several hours had passed since the fight between Flynn and Hans. The time was now nightfall. The prince was now sitting in a caged prison inside the cave. Flynn was with the hook thug and the few other captains of the Brotherhood Without Banners, to plan their next move against the Westergaards. And Kristoff and Sven were gone.
After the combat trial, Kristoff admitted he was really trying to return Anna to her friends in the north and get a reward. But Flynn told Kristoff that Anna would be staying with the Brotherhood, Flynn then offered Kristoff a place among the brotherhood.
But Kristoff angrily said that he, "Serves under no man, especially thieves."
After refusing Flynn's offer, a sack was placed back over Kristoff's head, and he was lead out of the cave by the thugs with his reindeer.
Now alone with the Brotherhood Without Banners. Anna joined Repunzel, as the woman led her to a isolated chamber in the cave where a small waterfall was trickling into a shallow pool.
"What is this place?" Anna asked.
"This is where I go to wash my hair," explained Repunzel while she began to remove her boots then pulled up her fur and leather skirt up to her knees and tied it. "But it's quite a task, and I could really use some help doing it. Will you help me?"
Anna at first was a little surprised to hear that. After spending so long trying to survive by hiding or running from soldiers, it seemed strange that she would do something as common as help a girl wash her hair.
The last time she ever did something like that was when she was living with Ariel in her kingdom. They both would go swimming in the ocean and go exploring the bottom where all the sea life was together. Those memories felt like they were from so long ago, before the land was plunged into chaos and war.
"Ah, sure. Okay," said Anna as she began to take off her shoes then rolled up her skirt. When she was done, Repunzel was already standing in the shallow pool, and started to unbraid her hair.
'How hard can it be to wash her hair anyways,' Anna thought as she wadded into the pool, the water went up past her ankles.
When Repunzel had undone the last braid of her hair. Anna now felt herself choke on her own words when she saw just how long Repunzel's hair really was.
Now hanging all loose, Repunzel's hair length was well over seventy feet long as it all piled in the water around the woman.
Sitting on a small rock in the middle of the pool, Repunzel then pulled out a brush and some hair ointment, and began clean all the dirt, filth, and blood from when she healed Flynn's wound, out of her hair.
When Anna joined her, Repunzel handed her another brush, and both began to clean Repunzel's hair.
After what felt like forever, the two girls were almost done with washing Repunzel's hair
Anna felt exhausted as she did her best to stay dry while she sat on a different rock and scrubbed Repunzel's hair, when she accidentally dropped the hair she was working on and it splashed water everywhere.
"Aahh!" Anna cried as she got wet, then she just sat there feeling depressed when she then felt more water splashed at her from the side.
Anna turned to see Repunzel's sitting on her rock casually brushing her hair with a smirk on her face.
Knowing that Repunzel splashed her on purpose, Anna scooped some water in her hands and tossed it at Repunzel.
Repunzel gasped in surprise and looked at Anna who was smiling at her.
Repunzel then gripped her hair and whipped it up, causing her hair to rise up then come crashing down in the pool, splashing water all over Anna.
Anna cleared the water from her eyes and saw that Repunzel had gone back to brushing her hair with a look that said. 'I win.'
But Anna wasn't defeated yet! Seeing a bucket laying next to the pool, Anna grabbed it, filled it with water and splashed it right into Repunzel's face. Knocking the woman off the rock and into the pool.
As she rose out of the water, Repunzel looked at Anna and saw the younger girl looking back at her, smiling smugly.
Repunzel then grabbed her own bucket, and the fight was on! Repunzel and Anna began a water duel, both girls playfully splashed water at each other. All the while laughing.
It was a little odd for Anna, having fun playing a water fight, with everything that was going on in the world and after just witnessing a man who appeared to die then come back. But she didn't care, because for what felt like the first time in forever, she was smiling, laughing, and enjoying herself. And Repunzel felt the same way.
"Hey girls!" shouted the hook thug at Anna and Repunzel as he and another thug walked into the chamber carrying a big pile of wood and arranging the wood to make a fire. "You better get out of the water soon or you'll catch a cold."
"Alright hook thug," Repunzel said looked at Anna and noticed that despite how much fun she was having, she was shivering.
"We better dry off now." Repunzel said as she began to gather up her hair.
"Okay," said Anna as she helped Repunzel carry her hair out of the water to the shore where the two thugs had lit the wood creating a giant bonfire then left the room, leaving the two girls alone.
"Thank you for helping me clean my hair," said Repunzel as she and Anna laid her hair near the fire to dry.
"Sure," said Anna as she sat down next to the fire to dry herself. "But I have to ask. Why is your hair so long?"
"It's...complicated," said Repunzel sitting next to the fire across from Anna. "Ever since I was born and raised in a monastery, I have never cut my hair."
"How did you end up with these thugs?" Anna asked.
"It was when I first met Flynn, back when he was a thief by himself." Repunzel answered all dreamy like. "I decided to leave my home to be with him. We were going to run far away and start a new life together."
Repunzel's face then saddened. "But then, the Westergaards attacked, and we couldn't leave. Flynn soon found himself the leader of these thugs trying to protect our home and try to drive the Westergaards out."
Seeing that look in Repunzel's eyes as she talked about Flynn, Anna then understood. "You love him."
Repunsel smiled at Anna and said. "Yes. More than anything."
"And he feels the same way about her," said someone, and the two girls saw that it was Flynn. The man was walking into the chamber towards the fire, carrying two towels.
"Thought you two could use these," said Flynn as he handed one towel to Repunzel.
"Thank you Eugene," said Repunzel as she wrapped herself in the towel.
Flynn then walked up to Anna to hand her the other towel. When Anna reached to take it, she couldn't help but stare at the man with the patch.
Flynn still wore the outfit he was wearing when he fought Hans, and his vest and shirt still had the tear where Hans struck him. Anna could easily see the scar from the prince's sword, starting from the shoulder and went down to Flynn's chest and Anna knew such a cut should have killed any man.
Seeing how Anna stared at him, Flynn grinned and said. "Do I frighten you girl?"
"No," Anna replied quickly as she snatched the towel.
"Good," said Flynn. "You have nothing to be afraid of here. You are among friends now."
"What are you going to do to me?"Anna asked while she wrapped herself.
"We will take you north, turn you over to Prince Eric and Princess Ariel and they will pay us for you," Flynn said.
"I see," said Anna frowning. "You're selling me for money."
"Aye," Flynn nodded. "We need the gold."
"I thought you said you were my friends," Anna said.
"Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't your other friend with the reindeer also taking you north for a reward?" Flynn asked.
"He wasn't my friend," Anna snapped at Flynn.
Flynn paused, then said. "Well, whoever he was. It's too bad he didn't decide to join our brotherhood." Flynn then took a seat by the fire. "We sure could have used his help fighting the Westergaards."
"And what about the prince?" Asked Anna.
"Tomorrow after his arm has healed a little, we will let him go." Answered Flynn.
"You can't let him go," Anna pleaded. "Not after all he has done."
"I'm sorry," said Flynn. "But he won the combat trial, so we have to let him leave."
Remembering the trial by combat, Anna then said to Flynn. "During the fight, I thought he killed you."
Looking at Anna, Flynn said bluntly. "He did."
"But. But then how..?" Asked Anna, unable to finish her question.
"Repunzel," said Flynn turning to the young woman. "How many times have you brought me back?"
Repunzel who had been silent this whole time, then said. "It's the power of the sun that brings you back, I'm just the vessel for which the magic resides in."
Flynn rolled his eyes. "Fine. How many times has the magical power inside you, brought me back?"
Taking a moment to think, Repunzel said. "Lets see. Five? No, this one makes six."
"Six times," Flynn breathed as he thought about each one.
"The first time was at King's Landing, when you ran into the Monster of the Southern Isles," said Repunzel.
"That's right," said Flynn remembering. "He put a lance through my heart."
"And then the second time was a knife in the belly," said Repunzel.
"Then it was an axe to the side," said Flynn.
"Next it was an arrow in the back," said Repunzel.
"And then there was that time I got captured by the Westergaards and was executed," said Flynn. He thought a moment then asked. "What was it they did to me? Hanging or a dagger to the eye?"
"Both," answered Repunzel. "First they hanged you, then they stabbed you in the eye to make sure you were dead."
"That's right," nodded Flynn. "And Hans makes six. The second time I have been killed by a Southern Isles prince."
"You'd think you'd be more careful by now," said Repunzel.
Anna after hearing all this was stunned. Looking at Flynn wide eye, she asked. "You mean to say that, you have been killed, six times?"
"That is correct," said Flynn casually.
"And you," said Anna turning to Repunzel. "Brought him back? But how?" Anna then stopped and looked at Repunzel's long golden hair piled near the fire, and remembered how Repunzel had placed her hair on Flynn's wound when she healed him.
Suddenly, it all made since to Anna. "It's your hair," she said. "It's magical!"
Sitting up from his seat, Flynn grinned at Anna and said. "You are a very clever girl. Yes, it is her hair that has the power." He then looked at Repunzel. "But it is her who truly holds the magic.'
"It's nothing really," said Repunzel humbly. "I've just saved you from death six times."
"No," said Flynn as he started to walk to where Repunzel sat. "You've done more than just save me from death. You've saved me from myself."
When Flynn reached Repunzel, he sat down behind her and gently pulled her to him. Wrapping his arms around her as she laid her head against his chest.
"I had spent so many years chasing empty dreams." Flynn said to Repunzel. His breath, gently touching her ear. "But when I met you, I realized I had found my true dream. And I was never going to lose it."
Repunzel closed her eyes as she enjoyed this moment in Flynn's arm, feeling safe from whatever dangers existed in the world around her.
"I can't keep doing this Eugene," Repunzel said softly.
"I know," said Flynn starring into the flames. "Every time I have come back from death, I'm a bit less."
Looking at Anna, Flynn explained what he meant. "A part of me gets left behind. Lost forever in the void. Eventually I will lose too much of myself to death and won't be able to come back."
"Which is why you've got to stop dying" Said Repunzel. "Promise me you won't die again."
"I've already promised you twice that I wouldn't die Blondie," said Flynn.
"And both times you did die," said Repunzel. "This time you will keep your word. Promise you won't leave me. Okay?"
Flynn sighed, he knew he wouldn't be able to keep his promise just like the last two times he died.
Nevertheless, Flynn leaned next to Repunzel's ear and whispered. "I promise, I will never leave you again."
Repunzel and Flynn then said nothing, but sat there together in peace. Seeing the two made Anna feel envious. Despite the horrible state the world was in, these two had found solace in each other.
Anna remembered seeing the same thing with Arial and Eric. Two people together as a family.
Anna then felt a touch of sorrow as she remembered how her family was gone. Her sister missing, and her parents lost at sea.
Remembering her father and mother, Anna then looked at Repunzel with hope in her eyes as she said. "You can bring people back from the dead. What about someone who has drowned?"
Facing Anna, the princess saw sadness Repunzel's eyes as she kindly said. "I'm sorry, but I think it is too late to save your parents."
Anna then lowered her head, with tears sliding down her face as the hope of seeing her parents again was now gone.
CHAPTER TWO
"Swing harder!" Shouted the hook thug at Anna as she did her best to swing a small axe at a target dummy.
"I'm swinging as hard as I can," cried Anna out of breath, as she struck the dummy again with her axe, but only managed to graze its armor.
Repunzel who was watching Anna, said to her. "Don't strike the armored parts. Aim for the exposed areas.
Taking a moment to breathe, Anna then raised her axe and swung it side ways, right at the dummy's venerable neck, causing the head to fall off.
The hook thug and the few other thugs that were present, all started cheering for Anna's victory, while Repunzel nodded approvingly.
It was now morning the next day. And Anna was outside in the forest, not far from the cave hideout.
Repunzel had asked the hook thug if he could give Anna a few lessons in fighting.
So the hook thug gave Anna an axe small enough for her to carry, then made her practice wielding it on a dummy wearing Westergaard armor.
Anna stood there feeling proud. But her glory was short lived. Because everyone then heard one of the thugs standing guard, began to make bird noises, signaling that something was up.
Hearing the bird call, the hook thug then shouted. "Someone is approaching our camp! Get your weapons ready!"
The thugs quickly pulled out their weapons, and gathered together, ready to fight. Repunzel ran to Anna and pulled her behind the thugs.
Anna peeked around the thugs to see several riders on horses, coming out from among the trees and approaching the thugs.
Most of the riders looked like soldiers from a foreign kingdom, but the rider at the lead wore a red cloak and hood.
"Who are they, are they Westergaards?" One of the thugs asked about the people on horses.
"No, worse," Repunzel said as she then walked out from behind the thugs to greet the strangers.
Seeing Repunzel, the riders stopped their horses in front of her. The one in the red cloak then pulled back the hood to reveal it was a woman with long dark curly hair and had a face that looked quite evil.
"Ah, Repunzel dear," said the woman in red, smiling. "It has been too long."
"Gothel," Repunzel said in mock politeness. "What are you doing here?"
Gothel, the Red Woman, frowned at Repunzel and said. "Now child, is that any way to talk to your mother?"
"You are not my mother any more Gothel," Repunzel snapped at the priestess "Now what is it you want?"
Gothel's eyes narrowed at the young woman as she said. "What do I want chilid? I who raised you, told you, you were the chosen oracle, and sent you on your sacred task to King's Landing, to bring all to our order, and under the rule of the Lord of Light? What I want to know is what happened to you?"
Repunzel shrugged. "I failed."
"Failed?" Gothel practically shouted. "You ran away. From me, from the Lord, and from your destiny!"
"No one decides my destiny," Repunzel said firmly. "Not you, and not the Lord of Light."
Gothel was clearly upset with Repunzel's blasphemous words. "I did not come to this forest because of you. I am here for a different reason.
Dismounting from her horse, Gothel walked up to Repunzel and said. "Take me to your precious Flynn."
"Why?" Repunzel asked.
"I'm on a mission of my own for our Lord, and I need to speak with him," answered Gothel.
"And if I refuse?" Repunzel asked.
Gothel leaned close to Repunzel and said. "I'm sure you know better than to try to deny the Lord of Light of what he wants. He may have allowed you to keep the powers he gave you. But he can just as easily take it all back. Then where will you be?"
Repunzel and Gothel faced each other for a while without saying anything. Before Repunzel finally said. "Your guards will wait here."
Gothel agreed and Repunzel led the red woman towards the brothrrhood's hideout. Leaving Anna with the thugs who remained to watch over Gothel's men
When Repunzel and Gothel came into the chamber in the cave where Flynn and Hans had their duel. Repunzel told Gothel to wait here while another brotherhood member went to summon Flynn.
Looking around the cave, Gothel said to Repunzel. "So this is your new home? Not as impressive as the monastery."
"This place wasn't picked for its looks," said Repunzel. "This is our home as we rage war against the Westergaards."
"War?" Asked Gothel then shook her head. "You really have fallen from all that you have been taught. Why take part in the fighting between these heathens and their false deities? The Lord of Light is the one you should serve?"
"This isn't about which deity you serve or worship," said Repunzel. "This is about protecting the innocent and the helpless."
"No one is innocent child," said Gothel. "You should not concern yourself with the people. They are nothing."
"It is because of that belief, that I left the monastery," Repunzel said. "The people are everything, they are what matters. King Hubert and King Fergus knew this. They both saw how the people suffered and they were going unite and change all that when the Southern Isles kingdom betrayed them."
"Yes, and now because of their naive, they are both dead, and the kingdoms are ruled by the Westergaards," said Gothel. "You and your brotherhood are now only fighting for ghosts and their lost dreams."
"But that's what we are, ghosts," said Flynn as walked into the room where Repunzel and Gothel were. "And dreams are only lost if they're forgotten."
Seeing Flynn, Gothel glared and said. "Flynn Rider."
"Priestess Gothel," said Flynn bowing slightly. "What do we owe the pleasure of your visit?"
"I will tell you in a minute," said Gothel. "But first, let me see if the rumors are true. Come here."
Flynn obeyed and walked up to the red woman as she then examined the wounds Flynn's got each time he died. Gothel's face clearly showed her shock as she saw how many he had.
"How many times have you brought him back?" Gothel asked Repunzel.
"Six times," Repunzel answered.
Gothel's eyes grew even bigger. "Six times," she whispered. "That can't be possible."
"The magic of my hair is more powerful than even you imagined," said Repunzel.
Stepping away from Flynn, Gothel said to Repunzel. "You do not deserve this power."
"This isn't my power. Remember Gothel? It is the Lord of Light who let a single drop of the sun to enter my body and give me this ability," said Repunzel taking a seat on a rock.
Repunzel continued on saying. "You once told me that my powers were given to me so I could serve him. But now I know, that you were just using me. I know that you and the high priest only cared about the magic in me. The same as everyone else I knew."
Gothel now glared angrily at Repunzel. But Repunzel stared back and said. "It wasn't until I was in King's Landing when I met Flynn, that I finally met someone who was not interested in my hair. Who actually cared about me. I decided then that I no longer was going to be what you and everyone say who I am. I was going to cut my hair, lose my power, and run away with him."
Repunzel then looked at Flynn who stood quietly as she talked. "That was until, the Monster of the Southern Isles put a lance through his heart. So I placed my hair over his chest, and I said the magic words. Not because I belived I could bring him back, but because I loved him, and my magic was the only thing I knew.
Turning back to Gothel, Repunzel said. "And when his eyes opened, I decided I would keep my hair and use its power, not for what you wanted. But for what I wanted. And I will use my power to help the people of these kingdoms. If the Lord of Light wishes to remove my power, I will continue to do what I can to help them."
When Repunzel was done talking, Gothel turned to Flynn and asked. "You have been to the other side six times?"
"Other side?" Asked Flynn. "I remember only darkness around me. There was no other side. You said there was a reason you are here what is it?"
"You have someone I want," said Gothel.
CHAPTER THREE
Anna stood with the hook thug, while the other thugs watched over Gothel's riders.
"Who was that woman in red?" Anna asked.
"Someone from Repunzel's past," said the hook thug.
"Repunzel didn't seem to like her," Anna said.
"And what do you think of her?" The hook thug asked.
"I don't like her," Anna confessed.
The hook thug laughed. "You're a smart girl."
Anna, the thugs, and the riders, then saw Flynn Repunzel and Gothel walk out from the cave hideout. Behind them, two members of the brotherhood dragged a tied Prince Hans with them.
When they reached the group of thugs and riders, Hans said to Flynn and Repunzel. "Well, are you going to keep your promise now to let me go?"
"Yes we are. You are free to go," Flynn said to the prince. He then gestured to Gothel. "With her."
Hans turned to look at Gothel, confused about what Flynn ment. Then two of Gothel's men walked up to take Hans away from the thugs.
Hans tried to struggle against Gothel's men, but they managed to pull him to their horses and force him onto a spare horse they had.
Looking back at Flynn, Hans yelled furiously. "You lied to me! You said I'd be free!"
Gothel walked up to Hans and said sweetly to him. "And where would you go once you were free?" When the prince nothing to her, Gothel continued. "You have no home and no one to go to. But come with me, and I can give you all that and more."
Hans was skeptical about what Gothel said, but stopped struggling in his saddle. While one of Gothel's men handed two large bags of gold to Flynn.
Gothel then got back on her horse and said to Repunzel. "I will leave you now child. But know this, if you still have your power, it is only because the Lord of Light isn't done with you yet."
Gothel and her riders then left the brotherhood's hideout with Hans. Leaving Anna to wonder what the red woman had in-store for the prince.
CHAPTER FOUR
"You said you were going to take me to Ariel," said Anna.
"And we will," said Flynn as he stood over a table and looked at a map. Repunzel stood beside him.
"But when?" Anna asked anxiously.
"Soon," said Flynn. "We first have to wait for word from our scouts."
Anna sat back down in the cave feeling a little frustrated. It was nighttime again, and the brotherhood still hadn't made any preparations for heading north.
A moment later, a thug came into the room. The thug was one of the scouts Flynn had sent.
"Flynn, I have news. The entire Westergaard army is splitting up and moving!" The scout said.
"Where?" Flynn asked.
Pointing to the map, the scout said. "The army has split into three fractions. The main one is heading north, while the second, northwest. The third one is scouring the entire east."
Hearing the scout's report, Flynn said. "The first and second must have been sent to fight Prince Charming. While the third is looking for us."
Flynn then said to everyone in the cave. "Well, it would be a shame to disappoint them. Grab your things gentlemen, we are moving east!"
The thugs roared, at the news of fighting, and began to gather their weapons.
Anna, on the other hand, got up and cried to Flynn. "But you can't go east. Eric and Ariel are north."
Repunzel walked up to Anna and tried to explain. "I'm sorry, but we have to protect the people in the east from the Westergaards. They will do anything to find us, including torturing whoever they find."
"But what about the armies attacking Charming?" Anna asked.
Repunzel sighed. "We can only hope that Charming and the other free kingdoms can hold off on thier own." Repunzel then smiled at Anna. "Don't worry. After we are done fighting, we will come back and take you home."
"What do you mean, aren't I coming with you?" Anna asked.
Repunzel shook her head. "Sorry, but it's too dangerous for you to come with us. Stay here, you will be safe."
"But I don't want to be safe, I want to be with you and the others," said Anna.
Repunzel smiled. "We will be together soon, I promise you."
"Like your other promises you broke?" Anna asked feeling betrayed.
Repunzel was taken back by this, but she understood what the princess meant. "I'll see you when we get back, " she then said as she headed for the cave's exit
"Repunzel," Anna suddenly called out and the young woman turned to the princess. Both stared for a moment then Anna said. "Be careful."
Repunzel smiled and said. "You too." And then she was gone.
CHAPTER FIVE
A few hours later, Anna now sat near the large bonfire in the cave with a thug who everyone called Big Nose, who stayed behind to watch over Anna until the brotherhood came back.
"So, you've never had anybody special in your life?" Anna asked Big Nose.
"Yes," Big Nose admitted sadly. "I've always wanted to make a love connection, but no woman I ever met wants to be with me."
"Don't worry. That's just because you haven't met the right woman yet," said Anna.
Big Nose looked comforted by that and Anna was glad. But then she heard a sound come from the cavs's exit.
"What was that?" Anna asked.
"What was what?" Big Nose asked.
"I heard something outside the caves," said Anna.
"It was probably just an animal," said Big Nose getting up from his seat. "I'll go check it out."
Big Nose then left the cave to investigate the sound Anna heard.
A moment after Big Nose was out of sight, Anna suddenly heard a loud thud, then a crashing sound.
"Big Nose?" Anna called out as she then left the cave to see what had happened to the thug.
Coming around the corner, Anna saw Big Nose lying flat on his face, unconscious.
Startled, Anna was about to see if Big Nose was alright when she felt someone grab her from behind, and placed a strong hand over her mouth, preventing her from screaming.
"Don't struggle or make a sound princess," said the person holding Anna and she recognized it as Kristoff's.
Kristoff dragged Anna outside the cave into the forest where Sven was waiting for them.
Anna tried to struggle free as Kristoff tried to place her on his reindeer. Until Kristoff finally hit Anna on the back of the head, knocking her out.
Kristoff then rode away from the cave with the princess in his arms.
CHAPTER SIX
Anna woke up and found herself, laying on the ground in the middle of the forest early in the morning the next day.
Instantly, she remembered what had happened to her last night. She quickly got up, looked around, and saw Kristoff nearby, sleeping against a tree with his reindeer sleeping with him.
Reaching for her small axe, that the hook thug gave her and she kept on her dress's belt, Anna realized that her axe was gone and guessed Kristoff had taken it when he kidnapped her.
With her weapon gone, Anna quietly stood up and made her way towards Kristoff's stuff he had piled next to him, and grabbed his lute laying on top.
Anna stood over Kristoff with the lute raised over her head. Intending to hit Kristoff, knocking him unconscious, and run away before he woke up.
But before Anna could strike him. Kristoff suddenly said while his eyes were closed. "I'll say this only once princess," his eyes then opened and he stared up at Anna. "You break my lute, I'll break your arms."
Sven's eyes then opened up, but neither the reindeer, nor Kristoff made any move to stop Anna from hitting either one of them. They both just laid there staring at the princess who still stood ready to hit Kristoff with his lute.
"Well go on then," Kristoff taunted Anna when he saw how she hesitated. "Hit me hard."
But Anna couldn't. She stepped away and lowered the lute. Kristoff then got up and took the lute from Anna and started to gather the rest of his belongings.
"Why did you kidnap me?" Anna asked Kristoff.
"I wasn't returning north empty handed," Kristoff replied while he worked.
"But I how did you find the cave? I thought the thugs blindfolded you." Said Anna.
"They did. But they didn't blindfold Sven. After they released me, Sven remembered the way back. I thought the cave was deserted, but then I found you." Said Kristoff as he now had gear slung over his back.
Kristoff then looked at Anna and said. "And now, here we are."
"And what are you going to do to me now?" Anna asked nervously.
Kristoff smirked at the princess. "What I always was going to do. Take back north to your friends and get my gold."
"And if I refuse to go with you?" Anna asked.
"You don't have a choice princess. You have no idea were you are, and no way to get back to the brotherhood's hideout," Kristoff bluntly explained.
"And besides, isn't getting north as soon as possible what you wanted?" Kristoff asked Anna.
Anna thought a moment and realized that although she liked Repunzel and the other members of the Brotherhood Without Banners, she had to get back to Ariel, even if it meant abandoning Repunzel.
Anna nodded and said. "Very well. Take me north."
"Right then," said Kristoff as he starting walking away with Sven. "We better start moving then. It's a long ways to the Twins."
"The Twins?" Anna asked as she followed Kristoff.
"Yes, apparently your friends are gathered there with Prince Charming for some wedding there," Kristoff said to Anna. "If we hurry. We might get in time for the celebration."
The thought of reuniting with her friends while on a wedding day sounded like a dream to Anna.
'But sometimes, dreams do come true.' Anna thought with hope in her heart.
END OF PART TWO
NOTE TO READERS
Okay I'll admit I did change the story a little from the TV show.
Like the part where Anna and Repunzel have a water fight. But I did that because there aren't a lot of scenes of Arya while she's at the brotherhood's cave, and since I had Repunzel playing the part of the fire priest, I thought they would bond more together than in the show.
I also changed who it was the red woman takes with her, but I thought that would go better with this story than the original one.
Not sure when the next update is coming, But not for a long time I can assure you.
Like the story than post a review, and I might post the update sooner.
Don't like the story than please post a review saying why.
And that is all. See you later.
