Authors note: Just when things are looking up for Elsa things will take a grim turn in this chapter. Note the death of a canon character is in this chapter. I will say it is not Elsa, Anna, or Hans. Much like so many authors and tv creators it is only at the peak of a character's happiness that death follows. So here we are…
CH.4: Murder and love
The Saloon was packed on a Friday night as the festivities rang through the halls of the place. Elsa sat at the table with her sister and on stage was Olaff performing as he told jokes. Elsa had to hold her side from all the laughing she had done. Under the table she was holding Anna's hand and enjoying the bliss that was in her life. It was just the other day that she and Anna had made out in the restroom, unbeknownst to the patrons…including Kristoff who had a thing for Anna.
Part of her felt bad for stealing her out from under his boyhood crush but she didn't trust men. She squeezed Anna's hand and cheered as Olaff was done. As he came to sit at their table she smiled at him. "I think that was your best yet Olaff."
"You think? Wow I should take a break from the store more often. I actually thought of those jokes during that week I caught that bad cold. Brrr…I guess the cold really got to me. Anyway Anna how are things with you?" He asks as he takes a long gulp of his drink.
Anna blushes and runs her finger along the table. "Well…I have someone new in my life. This person makes me feel special and while annoying at times manages to make a spot for me in their heart."
"Oh…and who is that?" The voice startled Elsa and as she went to rise she was pushed down by Drew. She noticed him looking at her hard like and she fought the urge to wipe that smug look off his face.
"Um…nobody…just someone I dreamed of is all." Anna moved her hair in front of her face and Elsa wondered if Hans caught on she had told her about his 'alibi'.
"Really…should I be jealous?" Hans leaned in and Elsa fingered her gun. If he so much as lay a finger on her sister she'd have something to say about it.
"Hello gentleman…my isn't today lovely? Ladies is this man disturbing you?" Elsa recognized the voice and looked over and saw Kristoff there. He had this kind of southern charm about him always there when help was needed.
"Back off cowboy…this is of no concern of yours." Tommy appeared affronted and he pushed Kristoff back. Their sizes varied so it was a toss up who had more strength.
"Is that so…cause I beg to differ. You see these people were enjoying themselves till you came along…now their festive behavior seems mighty down wouldn't you agree? So…leave now while you can." Kristoff never once raised his voice or wore a sinister look to back up his threat. However his body language said it all.
"Do you hear that…the cowboy wants us to leave! Ha…I won't be leaving till I am done…here." He pulled his fist back and as he threw it Kristoff easily dodged it and kicked him in the butt. Tommy stumbled into a table and people started laughing.
"You might want to keep your words together…pauses are a big indicator you are about to strike." Kristoff sees him charge again and he side steps as he watches him crash into another table.
"Darn it…why can't I hit you?" He throws punches at Kristoff but he ducks and blocks like a pro boxer. As Tommy goes for a body blow Kristoff brings his elbow into his back pushing him to the floor.
"Well maybe there is more to this cowboy then meets the eye. You done?' He extends a hand down to him and Elsa can see he was raised proper and a gentleman. He would be a good match for her sister…if she weren't taken.
"Yeah…thanks…" Tommy rises up and then brings his fist connecting with Kristoff's chin sending him flying and crashing into a table occupied by people. The couple screams as they jump back and Kristoff lays there dazed.
"Tommy there was no need for that," Hans tells his brother, "I apologize sometimes Tommy can be a little out of line." He knows the look Tommy gives him but he holds out his hands placating his case.
"I suggest you gentleman leave lest you want to end up in a jail cell for the night." Elsa fingers her gun a little longer hoping they realize she means business.
Olaff hurried over to help Kristoff off and glared at Tommy. "You should be ashamed of yourselves…this man meant no disrespect at all and you…well you are all a bunch of meanies is what."
"Meanie…did you call me a meanie? I will give you something to take that back and some." He pulls out a knife and holds it to Olaff's throat. Everyone in the Saloon goes deathly silent, all except Olaff.
"That is a very nice knife…but what happened to the one I sold you?" He asks and then Tommy throws a punch into his face sending him down into the recovering Kristoff.
"This place is getting old. I'm out of here." Tommy shakes his fist and leaves. Hans and Drew exchange looks then say their goodbyes as they leave.
"Are you two ok?" Anna hurries over to help Olaff and Kristoff to their feet but lands on top of Kristoff. The two appear quite shaken by this and Elsa is about to intervene when Olaff walks over to her.
"Sheriff there is something odd the man…um…Tommy told me. He said that-." Elsa held up a hand as she walked over to where her sister was on top of Kristoff.
"Well it isn't everyday you find your baby sister on top of a stranger now." She tried to keep the jealousy and tension out of her voice…but she believed she only managed to do one.
"Oh…um…sorry about that I was trying to get him up." Anna got up and helped Kristoff up. Elsa could see his blush and she knew this was on her. She had sent him to the Saloon and it was here that he met Anna. She could've sent him to an Inn but no…had to send him to see her pretty sister perform.
"I am sure you were. Anyway the party is over…we should all turn in then." Elsa knew that Kristoff stayed here so as the three of them climbed the steps she kept her hands to herself.
"So Anna…will you be performing tomorrow?" Kristoff asks and Elsa feels her face heat up.
"Well…actually tomorrow is my day off," she tells him as they seem so chummy now it makes her sick.
"That is good…great actually cause I was wondering if you'd join me for a dinner here." Kristoff was really starting to wear his welcome out, she fumed.
"Oh really…well…that is so sweet of you. The thing is…I sort of already made plans…but we can do it another time." Her sister was so sweet and considerate even when turning people down.
"That is alright…well goodnight ladies." He heads off to his room and Elsa makes sure his door is closed before pulling Anna to her.
"I thought he would never leave. What was with that you on top of him?" She runs her hand along her hips and stares deeply into her eyes.
"Jealous much?" Anna teases as she presses her body against hers, her face going to her ear as she whispers. "I belong to you, my body soul and heart is yours forever."
Elsa shivered as she felt her hot breath in her ear and as she reached blindly behind her she opened the door and they stumbled back. Elsa found herself on her back on the bed…not a position she really favored.
"Something wrong?" Anna sits on top of her and looks down at her face. Elsa looks to the side but it does her little good for her sister sees it. "You aren't the submissive type are you?"
"Anna this is ridiculous get off me…" Elsa tries to get up but finds her hands are pinned down. She struggles but finds herself in a position she had done to her sister.
"I will…but first you have to say you love me." She begins to straddle her and Elsa finds her resolve to get her off fading.
"You know I do…I tell you everyday…" She feels her face heat up and she sees the girl perfectly content on top of her.
"Oh that is all and well…when we're sisters…but we're more then that now aren't we? Elsa I want to share my body with you…I want to give you the thing I've never given anyone else. I can't do it however unless you tell me how you feel." Anna tells her and Elsa heaves a sigh as the girl stops her moving.
"Anna…I…love you…serious I do." She finds the girl release her hands then turns the tables flipping them over so she is on top. Hearing Anna protest she smiles. "Hey I meant it…I do love you…but your older sis needs to be on top."
"Fine…poor sport." She teases. Elsa goes to kiss her and they lay there moving their bodies in sync. Their crotches grind into one another and their moans carry through the walls, unknowingly of course.
Olaff stands behind his counter as he prepares to lock up for the night. He had really enjoyed his time on stage and thinks of maybe doing it more often. Anna really had him going with that story of hers but he had glimpsed under the table after his fork had dropped and saw them holding hands. It was a little weird but it would explain why Elsa reacted the way she did when she ordered that thing of hers.
The bell chimed warning him a customer was there but he didn't look up. "I'm sorry we're closed but in the morning we'll be open bright and early."
"I'm sorry but I'm not here to buy anything." Olaff looked over and saw Tommy. Behind him stood Hans and Drew. Collin was outside possibly keeping sign of any trouble.
"Gentleman…what a surprise…what can I do for you?" He looks around for anything he can use against them. The Sheriff was not reachable and Kristoff wasn't either.
"You mentioned the knife earlier…the knife I purchased from here." Tommy held up his knife and ran a finger along the tip.
"Oh that knife…well…Sheriff doesn't know if you were wondering." In fact he had been about to tell her but she was focused on something else.
"We can't have you blabbing that mouth of yours snowman…that is what you are with all of that ice right?" Drew stares hard at him and loosens the gun in his holster.
"I just like the cold is all…brr…see it feels good. You are just used to the heat here is all…me I kind of melt in it." He laughs but no one else does.
"Make it quick Tommy…we need to be out of here before anyone spots us." Hans urges.
Olaff finds his shotgun and smiles. "Excuse me a sec gentleman…think I dropped something."
Tommy found the burnt remains of the knife and Olaff had to act now. Rising up he held the shotgun at the ready and as he fired Tommy already had the knife flying through the air and striking him in the chest. He stumbles back feeling the loss of everything and he falls into the room with his ice.
Outside he hears the screams and the voices carry inside. "Tommy has been shot…Tommy…oh god no." Hans seems distressed and Drew is ordering him to drag him out of there. As the horses leave he begins to hum a soft tune from his home, his body going numb and then nothing.
Authors note: Anyone see that coming? I did forewarn grim last author note I believe. Anyway with Tommy shot and probably dead as it will happen off screen so is the murder of Olaff. Of course Hans and his two other brothers are still around and they aren't going anywhere. Meanwhile the death of Olaff will have serious ramifications on Elsa and Anna's newfound romance. Check in for the fall out next chapter.
