G'day Casters, I am back in The Last Of The Queen. Okay, on top of my writers block I've got a ton of crap in real life so expect me to be a while on updating anything. I just wanted to push this thing out soon. Let's see how we go, might be another short chapter.

EnjoY!

Chapter 2: The Journey Begins

Anna's POV:

I silently followed Elsa through the city, and we soon came across the camp. Some Fireflies pointed guns at us and we stopped. "We aren't here to start a fight, we just want to talk and possibly a place to stay," said Elsa. The gate opened and a woman came out. She looked like she was being healed. "Who are you?" she asked. "I am Queen Elsa of Arendelle, this is Princess Anna. We were kidnapped and brought here from our kingdom. Originally we were going to the Boston QZ but, plans changed. We heard you were still looking for a cure?" asked Elsa. "Yes, and we may have found it. But it will take a while. And why should we trust you? You are technically part of the government, being royal and all," she said. "Because we know about that girl, Marlene," I said. The woman paused. I knew this was Marlene. "How do you know about the girl?" she asked. "Her and the people smuggling her kinda took out our escort," I said. "And not you? How'd you survive? I didn't think Joel and Tess would just leave you two alive like that," she said. "Well, they did try to shoot us, but we got away," said Elsa. She didn't mention her powers. "Well you must be good if you got away from them. Okay, once I'm healed we're moving out. Going to a base out west. If you don't want to wait, you can go with the team that is taking the girl. Joel and Tess are meeting them at the capitol building, I'll send someone to show you the way," said Marlene. "Okay," I said. Marlene was about to go back in, when Elsa stopped her. "Marlene. Can we talk? Alone?" she asked. Marlene eyed her suspiciously, but nodded. They left me in the camp, while I had a small bite to eat.

Elsa's POV:

I followed Marlene to a room. "What is it?" she asked. "Okay. I want you to protect Anna. I was infected on our way here, and I don't want to hurt her. Please, I'm begging you," I said. "You're infected?" she asked. I nodded. "Let me see," I showed her my arm. "How long ago?" I thought. "Maybe about 3 hours ago," I said. "Normally it's worse by now. Is there anything special about you?" she asked. I hesitated, but nodded. I made it snow in the room. "What the hell?!" she looked shocked. "I can control ice and snow. They call me the snow queen," I said. "Well you know what Elsa? Those powers might have just gotten you a free pass out of the infection. As I said, the bites are usually worse by now, so I think you and that girl have something in common, you're both immune," she said. "You really think I'm immune?" I asked. She nodded. "I've seen enough bites, and only Ellie has ever lasted this long without it getting worse. She's been bit for three weeks and it hasn't gotten worse. You could be lucky. If this is the case, I think you should go with the team that is taking the girl, then we have a higher chance of finding a cure," she said, sounding a bit excited. "I hope you're right, Marlene. I don't want my sister getting hurt, especially by me," I said. "I'll make sure they protect all of you on your journey," she said. "Thanks. I mean it, I owe you," I said. "Don't thank me yet, thank me once we've found a cure for this shit," she said. I nodded and left. I went back to Anna. "Anna, we're going with the girl to the Firefly base out west. There has been a turn of events, I might be immune because of my powers," I said. "I just radioed the men at the capitol building, once they pick up the girl they will wait 4 hours for you. So you better hurry if you want to get there. Follow John here, he'll show you the way," said Marlene. A guy came over to us, who I was assuming was John. We picked up some supplies, and were ready to go within ten minutes.

About 3 hours later, we arrived at the capitol building. There was a military truck out the front though, and it was still running. We cautiously entered the building. But we knew what we'd see. And we were right. As we entered, we saw a bunch of dead Fireflies, a couple of dead soldiers, and another woman whom we recognised as Tess was also on the floor, dead. "Shit. The pickup group are down, and so is Tess. No sign of the girl or Joel," said John into a walkie-talkie. "Copy that. Report back to base," said someone. "Copy," John started heading back. But we heard gunshots. "Shh, you hear that? They're coming from the museum," said John. "Let's go check it out, could be Fireflies," I said. "Agreed, let's go," we followed him through the building, and jumped through a window into the next building. We saw some dead guards in the halls. We made our way through the building and came into a room with two guards patrolling. We hid. As we watched, someone came up behind one of the guards and strangled him. I recognised him as Joel. "It's Joel and Ellie, they're here," said John. "I can see that," I said. We were still in hiding, but John peeked over to see what was going on, right as the other guard was looking our way. He immediately started shooting us. John started shooting back, but got shot right in the head. I caught a glimpse of Ellie ducking out the front door. I blasted the guard and killed him. "Holy shit Elsa," whispered Anna. We ran towards the door, and saw a jeep parked outside a subway entrance. I blasted the jeep out of the way and we ran towards the entrance. I saw spores. Anna put her mask on and I was about to when I was hit from behind. I fell forwards into the spores. I looked back and saw Anna stabbing the guard in the neck. I then realised I was standing in the middle of a bunch of spores, breathing heavily, without a gas mask. Anna also noticed. "Shit Els, your mask!" she said. "I know," I said. "Maybe you won't get affected because you're immune?" she more hoped than asked. "I hope so," I said. I looked at the station just in time to see a guard about to shoot me. He shot and I blocked it with ice, I then blasted him. "If Joel and Ellie are down here they would have heard that," said Anna. "Yeah, let's hope they don't kill us when they see us," I said. We decided to follow the tracks and soon came to water. I heard Ellie and Joel, probably working something out. We followed the side and saw Joel climbing out of the water. We tried to hide but it was too late. "Joel, someone's here," she said. I heard the click of a gun. "We're not here to hurt you. Marlene sent us," I said loudly. "Come out," he said. We came out with our hands up. "You two again? I thought you were with those soldiers before!" said Ellie. "We were, but we went to find the Fireflies. We found them and Marlene sent us to go with you and the other Fireflies but I guess they're done. I'm immune too Ellie," I said. "Whoa whoa whoa, you're immune too?" she asked. "Yes, because of my powers I am immune," I said. "What in God's name are you talkin' about girl?" demanded Joel. I made an ice bridge across the flooded tracks to the station they were standing on. "Holy shit!" exclaimed Ellie. "Prove you're immune," said Joel. I showed the bite. "This was over 6 hours ago, almost 7. Marlene was right, they get worse in the first hour. I have also seen a lot of bites during my time as Queen, so I can confirm that Marlene is right. I am immune," I said. I hadn't thought about it earlier because my mind was a mess, but on the way here I had cleared my mind and relaxed a bit, which made me remember all the bites I've seen and how it all works. "You're a Queen as well? I'm finding this shit hard to believe," said Joel. "We are Queen Elsa and Princess Anna of Arendelle, but we were brought here outside of our control. And now we're going to the same place you are," I said. I displayed the royal ID cards to prove it. "Okay, you're royalty. And you're immune. But we sure as hell don't need more people taggin' along right now," said Joel. "We're going whether you're coming with us or not, we can help you. But if you don't want that shit then fine, go. But don't come crying back to us asking for help," I said. I was being firm, because that's how a Queen should handle a situation like this. To get the message across that we weren't messing around here. "Fine," said Joel. They left without saying anything else. "That didn't go well," said Anna. "It went better than I had expected. I expected them to shoot on sight to be honest," I said. "Well, since we got ourselves into this mess let's finish it," she said. I nodded and we exited the subway behind Joel and Ellie. We saw them sitting outside, Joel putting some rules down. We walked straight past them, ignoring them. They saw us, but didn't care. I also decided that my gown wasn't going to be a good outfit for this. So I changed it into a long-sleeved shirt and long pants, still made from ice though. I also reinforced it, without hindering my movement. I gave Anna a similar outfit. "Thanks," she said. "No problem. It's better than wearing a dress, that's for sure," I said. "Also a bit more comfortable, especially in this environment," she said. I agreed.

Anna's POV:

I woke up and looked around. We had made it out of the city the day before and had found a nice place to settle down for the night. I saw Elsa making breakfast from some of the supplies we had gotten from the Fireflies. "Good morning," I said. "Good morning," she said. I went through my back pack to see what I had. I found a walkie-talkie. "Whoa! Look what I got!" I said, picking it up and showing Elsa. "Sweet! Check if the batteries are working first though," she said. I turned it on and tried to contact Marlene. "This is Marlene," she said. "Hell yeah! Give it," said Elsa. I passed it to her. "Marlene, it's Elsa," she said. "Elsa! Are you okay? Why aren't you guys back yet?" Marlene asked. "John got shot, and we had a change of plan. We found Ellie and Joel, they're fine. But they refused our help. We're going alone," she said. "Elsa, come back and you can come with us, you don't have to do it alone," she said. Elsa looked at me. We were both thinking the same thing. "I'm not alone. We're doing this," Elsa said. I smiled. "Be careful out there you two, because I know Anna is there too, don't die," she said. "You know something Marlene? For the first time in forever, for the first time in forever I feel alive!" she half sung. I giggled because she was referencing a song we had sung 6 years ago when Elsa had run away. Of course Marlene didn't know that, though I could tell she heard my giggling. "Alright you two, whatever that's supposed to mean, good luck. I hope to see you in Salt Lake City soon," she signed off and Elsa turned the device off. She passed it back to me and I put it in my bag. "Salt Lake City. That'll take a while just walking, and when we have to worry about hunters, infected, and supplies, it'll be twice as long," said Elsa. "Come on sis, we can do it. Life's too short to miss out on something like this," I said. She smiled and hugged me. "Let's do this."

And that's all I can do right now. Short again, but better to have it short than to not have it at all. I hope you liked that chapter! I think we knew I wasn't going to let Elsa die, and now they are setting out on the journey that Joel and Ellie are making. Will they see each other much on the trip? We'll find out. And because the game spans across a year, I will possibly make this story my main story for now, to replace what ending Dragoncast Productions has taken, a good story that I like that I can actually do. Along with Sister Holidays but yeah, writers block is not helping that one so Episode III may be very late. Anyway, I'll see you guys later!
