Chapter 3:
"Master, she is not in her room.", said Gerda.
Well look around and find her, but wait a few hours first, lets give our mountain man some time before he gets tragically hurt.
3 Hours Later
Gerda re-approached Anna's room and found Anna and Elsa playing with Madison. Gerda then walked in and was greeted by Anna, "Oh hey there Gerda, what's up?", asked Anna as she tickled Madison's feet. The baby giggled and tried in vein to grab her Mom's hands.
"Princess I'm afraid I have terrible news, I just received word that your husband has been in an accident.", said Gerda. The sisters gasped and Anna had tears brim on her eyes.
Excellent my servant, went the voice in Gerda's head. Now tell them were he is.
"He is bedridden on the mountain not far past the trading post. He is in a cabin next to a clearing on a steep slope.", said Gerda.
"What happened to h-him?", cried Anna as she cried into Elsa's shoulder.
"Apparently the harness broke and he crashed head first into a tree. He has lost a lot of blood. Luckily a doctor was at the trading post and was able to move him to the cabin, but time is short for him, and he is requesting you by his side Princess.", said Gerda.
"Oh god no, no", sobbed Anna into Elsa's shoulder. Elsa tried to comfort her sister and turned to Gerda, "How did you find this out?"
"A traveler came into town and told some villagers, I over heard it and rushed here to tell the Princess your Majesty.", replied Gerda.
"I asked him not to go Elsa, I asked him to stay home," said Anna as she bawled onto Elsa's now wet shoulder. Madison started to cry as well.
"It's okay Anna, its going to be okay. Lets go find him, come on,well leave Madison with Kai and go see him. Okay?", said Elsa. "Gerda you are dismissed."
Gerda left the room and walked down into the dungeons. You have served me well, now I must be off. Gerda collapsed on the floor and was locked in a cell. As a shadow left her body and moved into the next room.
"Kai!", yelled Elsa. A few moments later Kai was at the door, "Yes my queen," he said.
"Me and Anna are going to head up the mountain, I need you to watch Madison and be sure that everything runs smoothly at the castle while I'm away, understand?", asked Elsa as she continued to try and comfort her sister.
"I understand perfectly your Majesty.", said Kai.
"Good, now I'll be off in about half an hour. So be ready by then.", said Elsa. "Alright," said Kai as he rushed off to go prepare. "Anna, lets get packed and go okay. I'm sure Kristoff will make it through this he is tough as rocks got it.", said Elsa.
"O-okay Elsa," said Anna as she wiped away the tears.
"Good, now lets go pack," said Elsa. Her and Anna put Madison in her crib and went to go pack for the trip.
Meanwhile...
Kristoff was making his way up the mountain, he was half way up before something stopped him.
"Kristoff! Stop!", yelled Grand Pabbie as he ran in the middle of the way.
"Sven! Stop! Hurry!", yelled Kristoff. Sven dragged his feet and quickly came to a stop. "Pabbie what are you doing out here?!", asked Kristoff.
"No time to explain, come on we have to go help a fallen traveler, I was hoping to run into someone quick, who would have guessed it would be you? Now hurry.", said Grand Pabbie. So Kristoff, Sven, and Grand Pabbie began to descend the hill.
"What happened?", asked Kristoff. "I was out gathering supplies when I ran into a hiker that had broken his leg, he was too big for me to carry so I went up the hill to where the path is and hoped to find someone who could help. Your going to want to leave your sleigh here, it won't be able to navigate through the trees.", said Grand Pabbie. Kristoff detached the sleigh and continued on with Sven.
Back at the castle Elsa and Anna had already departed and were making their way up the mountain. The sisters were making great time and had already gotten to Wandering Oaken's Trading Post and Sauna. "Anna just a little bit further, we can do this.", said Elsa. The sisters continued on and found the cabin, it was just as Gerda said. It was right next to a large clearing that had a steep slope. Anna quickly got off the sled she and Elsa were on and ran over to the cabin. Elsa followed several feet behind.
"Krist-", Anna started as she burst into the cabin. "What the heck?", said Anna as she looked in the cabin and only saw a mysterious man sitting in a chair before her.
"Ah you finally made it. Good I've been expecting you," said the figure. He snapped his fingers and the door suddenly shut. "Elsa! Elsa help me!", screamed Anna.
"Anna! Anna!", yelled Elsa as she rushed to the door. Elsa tried to open it but it was locked, she tried to freeze the hinges off but as soon as her ice touched the door it turned black and broke apart. "Hang on Anna I'll get you out of there."
"Oh, and it looks like your husband is right on time as well, take a look for yourself.", said the figure as he gestured to the large window over looking the clearing. Anna looked in horror as her husband and Sven came out of the tree line with Grand Pabbie. "No," said Anna as Elsa kept pounding on the door. The figure snapped his fingers again and looked at the top of the clearing.
"Is that the cabin over there Grand Pabbie?", asked Kristoff.
"No my child, no. There is no hurt hiker," said Grand Pabbie. He turned around and looked at Kristoff and Sven with his pitch black eyes. "This is your final resting place."
"Ahh! What the hell?!", said Kristoff, suddenly he felt a rumble. He and Sven turned around to see a torrent of snow coming his way. "Goodbye Kristoff," said the fake Grand Pabbie before he de-materialized. "Run Sven! Run!", said Kristoff as he jumped onto Sven's back took off. Anna watched in horror as Sven and Kristoff tried to out run the avalanche. "NO! KRISTOFF!", screamed Anna as her husband tried in vein to escape. Outside Elsa looked over to see Kristoff and Sven try to out run their white death, "Oh my god, no." About half way down the clearing the snow caught up to them. "Faster Sven! Fas-", started Kristoff before him and Sven were buried by the massive amount of snow.
"Ahh! Kristoff no, no", Anna cried hysterically. "Well now is a good time to take our leave.", said the figure as he got up. He grabbed the rag he had with chloroform in it and came up behind Anna. He put it over her mouth and nose and knocked her out about seven seconds later. He then went over to the door and launched a giant ball of shadow causing an explosion. The explosion hit Elsa and sent her flying into a tree. The hit knocked Elsa unconscious and she fell to the ground just catching a glimpse of her sister being slung over the shoulder of the mysterious man as he walked away into the night.
