Okay, this chapter is where the Les Miserables elements will begin. A lot of original characters will start appearing in this chapter but there will be at least 2 or 3 Frozen characters in this chapter and onwards. There will also be some lyrics from Les Miserables that will intersect with the storyline. Two of the original character's names are from Frozen, but they will appear or mentioned towards the end.
Like I said before, I don't own Frozen or Les Miserables.
Chapter 2: The Night that Ends
Present Day: June 3rd, 1869
The people of Arendelle are preparing for the coronation of their new queen, which will be a day away. Everyone decorated the streets with banners and painted the streets in bright colors to make the city more colorful. What the people are most happy about is the opening of the gates. The gates have been closed for 13 years and the are hoping to see how much the castle changed.
While everyone is busy preparing for the celebration, one man is preparing for something else. A young strong looking man who is 19 years old with slightly dark blonde hair is preparing for what he considered his greatest service in his life. He had been living on his for over 3 years because he was ostracized from his family because of his political views. His family, who is really rich, was against the royal family while he supported them. Only his father, a war officer, supported them, but died after the last war Arendelle was in, making him the only one in his family that supported them. While preparing When he was 16, after moving out of his family's home, he was chosen to be one of a handful of men to protect the queen and was really honored to serve her. While putting on his royal uniform, someone knocked on his door
"Still living up your dream serving to the future queen, Sir Kristoff?" someone joked to him.
"You know this is the greatest thing that happened for the last three years, Erika." Kristoff told her. Kristoff went off to the castle and Erika joined him.
Erika Thostenson lived with a family of thieves for all of her life. She lives with her parents and a sister name Ulla. The Thostenson onced own a small inn and they would steal their guest's money without even noticing. The royal family closed the inn four years ago after complaints from people, both rich and poor, about the poor maintenance and bad health services they are running. Since then, her family, like Kristoff's, hated the royal family, but Erika had some little sympathies to the princesses after their parents died.
"Why can't I even with you on your workplace, Kristoff?" asked Erika
"Because the castle staff might have your arrest records of your family, Erika." Kristoff told Erika, "They might not let you in or they might throw in jail. They will-" Kristoff stopped talking to Erika and was fascinated by a girl with green eyes and auburn hair in the flower store. The girl also notices Kristoff and blushed. She then went off to the direction where the King and Queen's memorial stones are laid. "Who is that girl?" Kristoff asked Erika.
"You mean that perky girl in the flower shop?" Erika croaked
"Erika, find her for me!"
"What will you give me?" Erika asked Kristoff
"Anything!" Kristoff replied
"Got you excited there, but I don't see what you see in her."
"Erika, do this for me! If you do, you will be in a place in my heart!"
"Okay, I'll do it for you." Kristoff kiss Erika's hand and ran off to the castle. After he left, Erika remember the girl when she was young. "Anna, I remember we played together once we were young. When your family visited my family's inn. Before your family closed it."
No one was busier in the royal castle than the Voktere Av Dalen (Guardians of the Valley), the personal guards for Elsa. At first the membership was around five or six, but the group grew to 25. Mostly because the nurse who first assembled them find other people, while some were invited by other members. Everyone in the castle, besides Anna, are aware that they are in the castle, but they were told that they're there to protect Elsa. The group was first lead by the nurse, but passed away six months ago. They are now lead by Sven, a 23 year old curly-haired blond man with charisma. Other notable members include members include Kristoff: second-in command, Jakob: the group's head doctor, Garth: head of information, Claus: Sven's right hand man, Josef: the last member to join, was brought in by Sven, but has no interest in the group's activities, and Olaf: a 10 year old street child, the youngest of the group, who work alongside with his best friend Garth, whom he called Marshmallow because of his interest in wearing white. Their headquarters is what used to be the king's personal studies since it's the only place in the castle big and private enough to fill 25 people.
The Voktere Av Dalen are scattering around the room planning on what they'll do on Elsa's coronation. Sven, Kristoff and other 4 members are planning on how to prevent Elsa from showing her powers. "The time is near." Sven announced to them, "So near it's stirring the blood in our veins and yet beware," Sven saw Josef drinking wine as usual, "Don't let the wine go to your brain!" While planning, Sven saw Kristoff coming in the room"Kristoff, you're late!"
"Kristoff, what's wrong with you today?" Jakob asked Kristoff "You look as if you've seen a ghost."
"Some wine and say what's going on!" Josef said
"A ghost you say..." Kristoff said, "a ghost maybe. She's was like a ghost to me. One minute there and
she was gone!"
"I am agog! I am aghast!" Josef was astonished "Is Kristoff finally in love! I never heard him 'ooh' and 'aah'!"
Everyone was congratulating Kristoff for finally finding love, but Sven isn't interested. "Kristoff you're no longer a child! I doubt you know that. But now there is a higher call!"
"Had you been there tonight, you might know how it feels!" Kristoff told Sven, "To be struck to the bone, in a moment of breathless delight!"
"Kristoff, who cares about your lonely soul! We strive to protect the queen, our little lives don't matter at all!"
"Everyone listen, Olaf had some valuable information!" Garth told everyone which made them stop what they're doing.
Olaf gave the paper to Sven. Sven read the paper and reads that their spy learned that the Duke of Weaselton and a prince from a rival kingdom are planning a coup on Arendelle, but doesn't know who the prince is. "So it will be," Sven said, "on coronation day we will protect the queen and her kingdom to invaders. We will show these invaders what little people can do!"
Everyone cheered for Sven, except for Kristoff. While everyone continued working, Kristoff heard a knock on the window. He saw that it was Erika and Kristoff ran to the window and speak to her. "Did you find her?"
"Yes." Erika answered
"Then lead me to her!"
Alone in her room, Anna is anticipating for tomorrow's big day. It will be the first time that the gates are open and she is excited about the people coming to her castle. Anna is also thing about the man who looked at her in the flower shop. She thinks that this man might be the love of her life and thinks she might finally leave the castle "In my life, I'm no longer alone." she thought to herself, "Now the love in my life is so near. Find me now, mind me here."
Kristoff went out of the castle with Erika to find the mysterious girl he saw earlier. Kristoff thanked Erika for bringing him to her, which hurts her more. When they reached to the castle gardens, Kristoff looked at girl going out of to the garden and Kristoff noticed it as the girl from the flower shop. He then realized that the girl was the Princess of Arendelle. Anna also noticed him outside of the gardens and the two both went to the gates to speak to each other. They told each others names and talked they are once lost and that they are now found.
While Kristoff and Anna talked to each other, Erika looked at them from the corner. She is now depressed ever since Kristoff saw Anna. They were talking for a few minutes and Kristoff told Anna that he has to go back to the battlefield. Kristoff has to lie to Anna because he swore an oath that Anna shouldn't know about him and the group. Kristoff then left to think about what is going to happen, leaving Erika in the castle.
The story is just getting started. Please try to review on how it went.
