Belle led the short blonde haired woman down the hallway to her room. She had been doing this for a week now, Elsa liked to go to the garden, to feel the wind hug her skin; feel the grass between her toes. Most of all Elsa loved to hear how the moon was that night. Was it full? Sending down its eerie gaze so those who lurk in the night come seen by the light.
It was a very odd request but Belle had done it regardless, she'd been told to for fill any of the young woman's requests and act as her personal maid by the Queen herself. Elsa didn't talk that much not that it bothered her. Belle put it down to the traumatic events she been through in the pit. The palace rumour was that she lost her mind and had no memory of her past. Frankly she didn't really buy that. Elsa showed no sighs of insanity, she was very quite and thoughtful.
Belle turned eyeing the deep diagonal scar on the blonde's eye before turning to her seeing that her unseeing eyes were staring forward. "How did you get that scar on your eye?" Elsa turned in the direction of the woman's gentle voice. "Scar?" Belle stopped her putting her hand on the eyebrow where the scar began, running her fingers along the deep healed skin which ended at the taller woman's eye. "You have a scar right here. It looks like it hurts... Or did. How'd you get it if I may ask?"
Elsa moved her hand up easing the other woman's hand aside as she ran her fingers along the patch of healed skin, feeling the deep grove where a weapon had cut in deeply. No one had even mentioned this scar to her not in all the time she'd been in the healer's room. She spoke feeling her own words become distant to her. "Does it look bad?"
Belle blinked feeling a smile form. "No of course not... though it does stand out a little bit." Elsa narrowed her gaze feeling a sudden burst of pain which surged through her causing her to wince. She suddenly didn't feel well the grey shadows in her eyes were flickering with white light and it was causing her to blink as a distant male voice penetrated her mind. "Ugly little whore you'll have to live with this for the rest of your miserable life."
Elsa turned feeling the anger burn deep down in the pit of her stomach taking over everything in her mind. "I'm not a whore!" Belle blinked suddenly feeling confused and a bit frightened by the sudden outburst, as Elsa's eyes focused on her. "Hey easy now, I didn't call you a whore." She stepped closer watching as the young woman's body tensed. "Are you okay, you don't look so good?" Elsa looked up no longer hearing anything but the male voice in her head which wouldn't leave her alone as it raged through her mind for the second time. "What's wrong filthy peasant? You don't like your new facial? Did I cut the wrong way? Maybe I should cut the other side of your face as well, then it would look all artistic and shit. Wouldn't you agree?"
Belle stepped closer seeing the binding rage appear in Elsa's eyes. "Hey its alright. you just need to take a deep breath." The next moments seemed to happen to her in slow motion. Elsa's scream of intense fury hit the air as her eyes suddenly focused fully on Belle. The blonde woman suddenly dropped her stick as her feet slammed in to the ground. The next moments turned to agony as both her hands wrapped around Belle's throat and her body was smashed in to the wall with enough force to make her scream in pain. The intense blue eyes large pupils suddenly dilated in front of her going small due to the bright light, as they stared in to her own now suddenly very much full of life.
Belle couldn't scream, could hardly breathe the hands were gagging her and she felt her feet scuff the marble floor as she was slowly raised higher. Elsa's voice hit the air it wasn't the quiet timid voice she was used to hear. it was filled with a deeply vindictive and all most freighting tone which was spoken through gritted teeth. "How about I rip your head from your shoulders, now wouldn't that be fun?" Blue eyes narrowed to slits. "Or may be I'll rip you open and watch your insides spill on this nicely polished floor." Belle felt herself cough as she tried desperately to breathe. She couldn't get out a breath. the grip on her throat was like iron. It burned like fire, or like being exposed to ice water for too long. and the blonde woman seemed insanely strong, her feet had now left the floor and her shoes were scuffing the wall.
She was terrified at this moment in time more terrified than she'd ever felt in her life. There were no guards close by they were in the other corridor. she moved her shaking arm seeing the only means of escape which was an expensive vase on a stand. Her fingers shook as she took hold of it being higher ironically made it easier to grab. She didn't think as she swung it with all her might watching as it smashed apart as it collided with Elsa's head. She felt the sudden pain as the hands let go of her throat. She winced as she hit the floor landing on her side, watching as Elsa hit the ground opposite hard. She heard the thundering of the guard's footsteps as they came up the hall.
She breathed in painfully watching as the sky blue eyes slowly roll in the back of her head and lost consciousness. Blood was dripping down from her forehead where she'd taken the force of the blow. Belle breathed in feeling herself shake as the guards appeared running up to the women; gods she could feel her heart hammering in her chest like a drum as she took a deep needed breath.

I don't believe this! I mean how did this even happen? Things like this do not happen in my palace, unless they are directed at me! I was having a nice night I was about to drink myself to sleep again and now I'm in my throne room and really not in the best mood for this conversation.
Anna looked up meeting Belle's terrified brown gaze as she spoke. "Go though this one more time please?" Belle rubbed her bruised throat which was now turning red like she was burned by the mere contact and felt painful. "She tried to kill me your Majesty!" Snow leaned against a pillar. "Could you please be more Spacific, details and all that?" Belle pushed her long braided Brown hair back as she turned to Snow, not bothering to hide her disgust. "I just asked her about that scar on her eyebrow and then she just went all Beast on me!"
Snow put a finger to her lip. "Maybe you hit a soft spot?" Belle sneered raising her hands. "Oh please she thought I was calling her a whore, I never even said anything of the sort to her! I asked her what was wrong and then she tried to strangle me. She wanted me dead I could see it in her eyes!" Snow raised an eyebrow. "There's still something I don't get, how did she raise you off the floor?" Kristoff turned sharply eyeing Snow. "Be quite your not helping the situation!" The woman shrugged slightly. "Look I just want to know how she got her off the floor she's meant to be weak. I mean how does a woman who's still got her ribs showing and can only walk short distances with a walking stick mind you, pull someone off the floor like that?"
She eyed Belle. "She said her feet left the ground dangling and all that!" Kristoff folded his arms. "Adrenaline?" Snow snorted in disgust. "Oh please that's a poor excuse. You know as well as I do weak people don't have that kind of strength and in her condition that amount of adrenaline might cause her heart to suddenly stop." Anna turned watching as Luis walked in to the room the concern in his eyes. "How is she?" he looked up slowly. "Elsa is not doing very well, its like she's had a serious relapse, she has a very high fever yet is chilled at the touch and keeps on throwing up. She won't stop shaking and she's now awake which is making it worse as she has a serious head wound."
He breathed in deeply. "I'm so grateful to whom ever it was who decided to smash her over the head with an expensive vase, you've made what she's now going through very unpleasant." Belle snarled as she side stepped. "She was trying to kill me!" Luis turned eyeing her. "You're lucky you didn't break her skull! I mean hasn't this woman suffered enough as it is?" Belle raised her hands. "I don't believe this! you're all defending her! She tried to kill me shouldn't that say something to you about her mental stability? If you'd seen how she was looking at me you might change your tune, she was enjoying it I could see it in her eyes." Luis clapped his hands together. "Ah yes her eyes explain that me because I'm really confused."
Belle blinked as she sat down in one of the long chairs opposite the thrown. "Explain What now?" Luis breathed in deeply. "Well it appears that she can see now, where as before she was blind can you please explain that to me." Belle breathed in deeply. "That's real easy before she grabbed me her pupils just dilated it was very sudden and the next thing I knew her hands had found my neck!" Anna breathed in feeling her teeth grind together. "Be quite all of you!" She watched as the room fell silent instantly. She walked towards Belle putting a hand gently on her shoulder. "No one is blaming you for anything and if I'd known this was going to happen I would not have left you alone with Elsa."
She breathed in deeply. "We just need to know all the facts, as this happening has shocked us all." Belle rubbed her neck. "I understand your Majesty, I'm just shaken up, I thought she was going to kill me." Luis shook his head. "I've never seen anything like this before my Queen, people don't relapse in this manner." He breathed in deeply. "I can't explain it either, she was perfectly healthy and on the mend, this shouldn't have happened. Plus if what's been said is anything to go by it sounds almost like a mental episode, which I've seen warriors have on the battle field. Normally though there are sighs, signals, odd behaviours and she's showed none of this."
He put a hand through his beard. "As for the eyes I can't explain that either, I've never seen anyone go from blind to seeing just like that, it just doesn't happen." Anna brought her hands to her face and sighed in frustration. "Where is Elsa now?" The healer folded his arms. "She's in her room in bed, one of my aids is with her, I told him to give her a sedative before I left which will hopefully knock her out for the night." Belle looked up sharply. "No offense but I don't want to be her personal maid anymore, next time she might kill me for real this time." The Queen looked at her for a long moment, this was hardly surprising and she'd feel the same way if she had been in Belle's shoes. Anna felt her eyes dart, she had not wanted to get involved with Elsa due to her position but now that very choice had been taken away from her.
She put her hands together. "I'll take care of Elsa from here on in she'll be my reasonability." Kristoff blinked in shock. "But your Majesty, you don't have to do this. She's not your responsibility and she is dangerous." Anna narrowed her gaze. "She's been my responsibility ever since I found her in that pit and it's clear to me now that I should have been watched her more closely." She folded her arms. "So regardless of what you feel I will take care of her from here on in. If she's a danger to herself and others then she need's some one with good combat training to stop her actions." She looked at the floor. "Clearly Elsa is not a run of mill patient and what ever was done to her has affected her mind."
She took in a deep breath. "I refuse to argue with any of you regarding this matter my decision is final." Kristoff nodded trying to ignore the anger he felt over this. In his view this was dangerous and reckless and the Queen didn't need to burden herself with this young woman who was clearly mentally unstable. He knew though that he couldn't change her mind once she had made it up. He nodded meeting her gaze. "As you wish." Snow leaned against the pillar once more. "Heard you loud and clear your Majesty." Luis walked over to Belle putting a hand on her shoulder. "Come with me we'll both talk about what happened and I'll have a look at your neck."
Anna watched as the healer left she could still feel the fuzzy alcoholic haze which was mildly clouding her judgement but frankly she didn't care. She stepped away from Kristoff and Snow. "I'm going to call it a night, excuse me." She ignored their looks of surprise as she walked through the corridor that led to her room she had probably made a crazy choice but she could deal with it at a later time.
AN: So as i mentioned before, updates will be crazy. Just giving you all another heads up... Side note 94 more chapters to go TDN out.
