Hey, it's my brithday on the 30th July ("it's kind of an annual thing"). That's not at all relevent to the story but it's worth a mention. Please follow and review. Thanks.

Chapter 6:

"Hey, Blondie," Eugene called.

Rapunzel turned around curiously. There was a tone in Eugene's voice she wasn't used to.

"Yeah?" she asked Eugene, slightly irritated that the book she was reading had been interrupted.

"No need to get stroppy with me Blondie," Eugene laughed.

"I have every reason to get stroppy with you Eugene now what do you want?" she teased back.

"Do you know a woman called Lilly Morstan?" Eugene asked.

Rapuzel frowned as she thought, a trait Eugene found endearing and often teased her about.

"Noooo, I don't think so," Rapunzel answered. "Any reason? You planning to run off with her?"

The two of them laughed as they weren't aware of the serious situation unfolding over in Arrendelle.

"It's just that she's on the staff list but she hasn't taken her pay for the last three months," Eugene answered. "Just thought t was curious. I looked around and she seems to have disappeared."

"Oooh, so it's a mystery then?" Rapunzel asked, no longer overly interested in getting back to the book she was reading any time soon.

"Let's not get carried away," Eugene warned.

"I will if I want to," Rapunzel giggled. "What did she work as?"

"She was a maid," Eugene answered.

"Well I'll look in to that," Rapuzel answered, turning back to her book.

Eugene smiled. She didn't look as if she was going to look in to it any time soon.

Elsa stretched as she awoke, striding out the door into the living room once she was in something more fitting than borrowed pajamas. Lilly appeared to have woken around the same time as Elsa as she was just slinging her legs around the edge of the sofa on which she had been sleeping.

"Morning Elsa, I think Kay and Georgia are still asleep," Lilly said.

"They got some sleep then, unlike some," Elsa said, indicating her tired eyes. "What about you Anna? Did you…" She stopped for a moment, freezing like a statue as she caught her words. "Lilly… You're called Lilly."

Lilly laughed but still seemed sympathetic. "Don't worry yourself about it," she said. "And I didn't get much sleep either since you're asking."

"Well it's good I'm not the only one I guess," Elsa said.

Lilly forced herself on to her feet and begun humming a song Elsa recognized. The song was When will my life begin? Lilly threw open the curtains and suddenly the tune stopped. Elsa saw why. Outside the window there was a man with a rope around his neck, hanging from some place above, staring in with dead eyes. Lilly turned to Elsa, suddenly panicked.

"Get Kay and Georgia," she instructed.

Elsa stared as Kay cut down the dead man from outside the cottage. He had been hanging from a flag pole placed just above the window. There was silence as Kay brought the body down on to the grass.

"There's a note in his pocket," Kay said taking it out and passing it over to Elsa.

"TO THE FORMER QUEEN OF ARRENDELLE, SINCERELY THE SNOW QUEEN," it read.

Elsa was unnerved, quite clearly. "She knows I'm here," Elsa whispered. "How can she know that?"

"More importantly why didn't she come in and get you when she had the chance?" Georgia questioned.

The four of them stood in silence. None of the questions received an answer

"We need to get into Arrendelle today," Lilly announced suddenly. "We don't know what she's planning so the faster we act the better."

Elsa stared down at the dead man, kneeling next to him. It was only a young man and she recognized him.

"This man was a street seller in Arrendelle," Elsa said. "He was one of the people who helped out to keep the Kingdom going during the big freeze. He was a good man." Elsa closed the man's eyes gently. "He had a family…"

No one spoke for a while. They simply stood there. Elsa turned to Lilly.

"How long before I need another dose of that stuff? I'm not letting that woman get my mind again," Elsa vowed.

"It blocks out all unusual magic," Georgia said. "Too much might kill. You need to keep it at a minimum. Your ice powers don't work when you use the medicine…"

"A few hours," Lilly interrupted since Georgia didn't seem to be answering the question very directly. Georgia never did. Kay often told Georgia she should go into politics. "But we need to get into Arrendelle before that monster does anything else. We won't let her scare us. Agreed?"

The replys were all brief but certain nods.

Anna's eyes flickered open. The prison beds weren't at all the comfiest she had slept on. There was someone at the cell door, casting a long shadow over the floor: the Snow Queen. Why was she rattling a bunch of keys at Anna?

"Hate to interrupt your sleep Anna," she said, "but you've got a big day ahead of you…"
