Hello, guys! Here's the 6th chapter of my story, finally

I hope you'll enjoy it 😊

Chapter 6

"Hey dad?" you asked as you coiled a rope and put it away.

"Yes, son?" your father replied.

"Why did you choose to become a fisherman?".

He smiled slightly and scratched his neck "Well, it was either that or becoming a soldier or blacksmith. Because, and let's be honest, being a lumberman or farmer is a pretty boring job. And conflict is just not in my nature, so it's not like I had much choice in the matter. I guess it's weird, huh? Considering that I'm a Mireanian".

You tried to stifle a laugh "and being a fisherman is not a boring job?" you asked teasingly and your father grinned.

"You got me" he said before you both laughed wholeheartedly "come here, you little squirrel" He grabbed you and ruffled your hair. You let out a yelp as he threw you over his shoulder, and he twirled around.

"Okay okay, put me down!" You laughed and he put you down on your feet again.

"Okay, tell you what. I'll go and tell your mother that we're done for today, and while I do that, you can finish up here, right? And then we'll make some dinner. What do you say?" He asked, smiling.

"Of course!" you said, excited and started coiling the last rope.

Your father headed towards your house, and you started to hum a melody you liked very much as you finished your work. Suddenly, your work was interrupted by a blood curdling scream. It was your mother, and her scream was followed by noise. You put down the rope, and ran up towards the village. By the time you reached the entrance to your village, chaos had erupted and there were people everywhere. You ran towards your house, hoping that your family was still alive. When you reached you house, you found a burned down pile of wood, and broken glass.

"Mom! Dad!" You called out as you began to desperately search the rubble, and your heartbeat increased. You were so desperate to find them, that you didn't even notice the mayhem around you. In the midst of the rubble you found two large pieces of charcoal. But you knew what the pieces were. Your parents. Your eyes swelled up as your heart was painfully twisted as you realized you would never see your parents again. Then, a group of people came over to you.

"Follow us, kid" One of them said "We've caught the people that did this to your parents".

You turned around and saw what looked like a group of the king's guards.

"Really?" You asked as you got to your feet.

"Yes, follow us"

You followed the soldiers. On a small hilltop you were met by another small group, and two people laying on the ground. The two people were tied up and their head was covered with sacks. They wore unfamiliar clothes, and You could hear that they were gagged from the sounds they made.

"Now, here's the two that murdered your parents" One of them said.

"You looked at them, the thought of revenge very present in your mind. One of the soldiers handed you a sword, and the first body was placed into position, and the head was bent downwards.

You swung the sword and the blade made a crunching noise as it cut through flesh and bone. The body fell to the ground and quickly stopped squirming. Soon, the group brought forward the other body, and you repeated the same thing. But this time, the neck was more slender, the shoulders not so broad and the body smaller than the first one, so this time it was easier. The body fell to the ground with a thud and, like the first one, it quickly stopped squirming. Then, suddenly, the people around you started to laugh hysterically. You looked around you confused, and only then did you notice that you didn't recognize any of them. They had unfamiliar clothes, and acted strange. Who were these people?

"What is it?" you asked, and the leader looked at you.

"I can't believe how stupid you are, boy" He said, the evil grin plastered on his face. Now you got really wary and you noticed a strange symbol on their left shoulder.

"What do you mean?" you managed to ask.

"Check for yourself" He said, and you looked at the two bodies. You walked up the heads, and grabbed the sacks that covered them. You pulled them off, and you felt your heart stop, and your body go totally numb and icy cold, when you realized that you stared into the face of your father and mother.

It took you a couple of seconds, and the only thing you could manage when you opened your mouth was a long painful scream.

"NOOOOO….!"

"NOOOO!" You sat up in your bed, panting and gasping for air. That dream again. You'd had it frequently ever since the day you committed the worst crime you could possibly commit, at the hand of "the Grey ones", a mysterious group known for their ruthlessness, that surpassed even your own soldiers. That day had changed something in you. You were no longer the kind and gentle person you once were. But then again, you hadn't been that person for a very long time.

That night you went once again down to the dungeon. You needed to see HER. To talk to her. You didn't feel like you could talk to anyone else about this. Except from maybe Anna. But you had been restless all day.

When you reached Elsa's cell your guard unlocked the door, and you stepped inside. She stood up from her bed, and smiled slightly at you.

"I… I just had to see you…" You looked at her.

She walked up to you, took your hands and led you over to the bed. She sat you down before she sat next to you, and held your hands.

"Tell me… what's happened?"

"I had a really bad dream…."

"Tell me…"

"I dreamt that I murdered my parents…" You began

"Tell me your name" She asked and you looked at her surprised.

"My name?"

she smiled and nodded

"Yes, your name. I would really like to know your name"

You smiled slightly "If you want to know, I'll tell you. My name is (F/N)"

Elsa smiled "That's a beautiful name… (F/N)… I like it".

"Well, shall I tell you a secret?" She looked at you and you raised an eyebrow, curious.

"My people call me the Snow queen" She said, and you looked a bit confused.

"Because of this" She said and lifted her hand. Soon small ice crystals began to emerge from her hand and your eyes widened. Was she the ice witch people were talking about? She lifted her arms, made a swift move, and soon the whole cell was covered in a white, soft layer of snow. You looked around the room, clearly impressed. Elsa smiled and giggled.

"Surprised?"

"You could say that" You said, and you both chuckled.

"I was born with these powers" She explained, as she gazed into the room. "I was afraid of them at first. Shut myself in, and didn't talk to anyone except my two servants, Kai and Gerda. Even Anna was shut out from my life" She said, and became quiet. She was clearly bothered by her past.

"Go on. I'll listen" You encouraged.

"But just a few months ago, I froze the whole kingdom by accident on my coronation day… If it hadn't been for Anna, who came to search for me, I don't know what would've happened…"

You nodded. You really appreciated that Elsa opened up to you about this.

"Thank you for telling me" You said, and she gave your hand a light squeeze.

"Tell me about yourself" she said, and you smiled slightly.

"It's not that much to tell" You tried to explain, but she was persistent, and you quickly gave in.

"well, I grew up I Mireania. I had a mother and a father. We lived a fairly normal life. My mother was a stay at home mom, and my father was a fisherman. He didn't like violence, so that's the job he took, and I helped him out. But, when I was 13 years old, our village was invaded. The group forced me into killing my parents without me even knowing it was them before they were dead… After I killed them they beat me up severely, leaving me to die…" Your voice became low as you told her your story.

Elsa's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief, and she put a hand to her chest.

"How cruel…."

She didn't say anything more. Just let you continue.

"After the attack, the group occupied the city for a few days. And I was forced to serve them and take their abuse until the king's troops saved me, and took me in. I was trained by one of the best trainers in the whole army. After my training I began as a mere soldier, but quickly rose in the ranks. And a couple of years ago I became the highest ranking General in my king's army, at the age of only 23.

Elsa looked at you as you finished your story.

"That's the story of my life. So the nightmare that I had was not really a nightmare… It's a memory…"

She put a hand on your cheek, and made you look her into her eyes. She was so beautiful. And not only on the outside. But on the inside as well. She was a selfless queen who really cared for her people and their well being, despite being locked up here in this dungeon.

But despite your feelings for her, you knew that you could never have her. She was a queen. You were a General. A killing machine bred for war. You were not worthy. You lightly shook your head and got to your feet.

"I'm sorry… I can't…" you said, and she looked at you with sad eyes.

"Why…?" She asked and you sighed as she got up and walked over to you again.

"I have blood on my hands… I'm not worthy…"

"Of course you are." She said and took your hands.

"No please…. I'm not that kind of person… "You said, as you withdrew your hands, but she took them again.

"Then, what kind of person are you?" she asked intently

"I'm a murderer… Killing is the only thing I know… "you whispered.

She once again began stroking your cheek, and after a few moments, you finally realized you had to tell her. You had to let her know your feelings.

"Elsa… I…" You began

"Yes?" She looked at you, curiously.

"There's something I need to tell you"

"Go on" She whispered and you took a deep breath, before you took her hands in yours.

"Elsa, you've made me feel something I've never felt before" You felt your throat go dry.

"Before I met you, all I knew was war, blood and violence. But you showed me something totally new. I've never felt this kind of feeling before. I tried to suppress this feeling, but I can't anymore. I have to know what this feeling is" You paused for a few seconds, Elsa smiled slightly before she spoke.

"(F/N)… I have felt the same… I don't know what this feeling is either, but I've had it ever since you saved me from those who harassed me right after I was locked up here…"

The next couple of seconds disappeared in a wonderful blurr. Her eyes meeting yours. Her lips moving closer to you, and your mind going blank the second her wonderful soft lips touched yours.

The kiss grew more passionate after a few seconds, and you gently placed your arms around her waist, while her hands found their way around your neck, and her fingers began to gently stroke you through your hair.

After several seconds, you broke the kiss, and you stared into each other's eyes, none of you saying anything. But you both knew what the other one was thinking. All unsaid words had been said through a kiss.

"Elsa…" You whispered, but she brought a finger to your lips.

"Shhh…. No one can know this…" She whispered, and glanced at the door, hoping that no one had seen you or heard you.

"Let's keep this a secret…"

You agreed. This could never come out. If it did, you'd be branded a traitor in your home country, and most likely be executed, for treason. And Elsa would face huge problems in Arendelle. You could not let that happen.

"I'll return tomorrow" You said, your tone low.

She touched your cheek and nodded.

"I'll see you tomorrow…"

She gave you another kiss and you left the cell. Before your guard closed the door, you took one last glance at each other, and then you left the dungeon, your heart pounding harder than ever before.

That night you felt relief for the first time in a long time.

You finally felt that you had done something right. Now, you had to figure out what this feeling you had, was. But you had to keep it a secret. Your lives depended on it. You gazed up at the moon while thinking of the beautiful snow queen as the night fell over Arendelle and shrouded the kingdom in darkness.

And that's the 6th chapter :)
