Chapter 7- Hunt for the beast

Anna awoke the next morning, having not had the best nights sleep.

"God, how does Kristoff manage to sleep on this shit?!" Anna thought as she sat on her bed of hay.

She and Elsa had been at the stable by Oaken's hut for two days now, and they had not had much luck hunting the beast.

Anna yawned and grabbed a carrot from a sack nearby and chomped on it. Carrots were her breakfast now.

The door to the stable opened and Elsa entered, her eyes weary from the night's hunt.

"Morning, Elsa," Anna greeted her sister. "Wow, you look like shit."

Elsa smirked at her sister's comment. "Thank you for that compliment, dear Anna. remind me to spank you later."

Anna giggled as Elsa lay on her patch of hay. "So how was your night's hunting?"

"Not very productive," Elsa groaned. "We're never gonna find that monster at this rate."

Anna picked out a carrot from her sack and held it out to Elsa. "Carrot?"

Elsa took the carrot and gnawed on it, crunching the orange vegetable in her teeth. "I think we are missing something about this monster, like something big."

"Well how about where it might live?" Anna suggested. "All the other times it appeared it was dark, so it may hide somewhere during the day."

"So we'd be looking for some dark cave or abandoned shack?" Elsa assumed.

"Yeah, but that doesn't really narrow it down. There are hundreds of places like that around here," Anna stated.

Elsa thought for a moment. "What about the north mountain caves?"

"The what?" Anna asked, confused.

"You know, those big caves under my ice palace," Elsa explained. "The Snowgies used to live in there, remember?"

"Yeah, but didn't you take them out and move them to a new little ice palace, when you realised they all weren't gonna fit?"

"Yes, but I left the caves untouched after that. What if this thing was living in there and we had no idea?"

Anna walked over and took her sword from its rack on the wall. "Then we might as well take a look and see for ourselves."

xXx

The two sisters flew to the north mountain on the back of Elsa's ice griffin. From the air, they would be able to spot the caves easily.

"You remember where the caves are?!" Anna asked her sister as their steed circled the mountain

"I used to!" Elsa called back.

"What do you mean?!"

"There was an avalanche some time ago!," Elsa explained. "The entrance might have been blocked off!"

"Then we'll have to land!" Anna realised.

Elsa tugged on the reins of the griffin, taking it in for a landing on a nearby cliff edge.

The two lovers dismounted their steed and began to examine the rock wall in front of them

"I think I've found something," Elsa stated after a short while.

Anna headed over to where her sister was, intrigued to find out what Elsa had found.

"See that edge there?," Elsa said, pointing to the edge of a large rock.

"Yeah, what about it?" Anna replied.

"Look at the edge, you see where it doesn't match up with the rest of the rock?"

Anna squinted as she found what Elsa was referring to. The rock the were staring appeared to

be out of alignment with the rest of the rock face.

"This must have been where the cave entrance was," Elsa assumed, "but somehow, or someone blocked the entrance with this rock."

"Can you break it open?" Anna wondered.

"I'll try my best," Elsa stated. "Stand back, Anna."

Anna did as she was told and took a few steps back.

Elsa focused her magic into her hands and fired a large icy blast at the rock wall, shattering it into pieces. The wall now revealed the entrance to a large cavern with walls covered in ice.

"That is one big cave," Anna commented as she and Elsa entered the cavern.

Elsa created a small icy spark in her hand to illuminate their surroundings and the two sisters began to explore the cave.

"Ewwww," Anna exclaimed, "it stinks in here!"

"I can't smell anything," Elsa replied.

"Good for you, because this stink is worse that Sven's shit!" Anna said.

"What does it smell like?" Elsa wondered.

"You know when sheep have their lambs, and the goop that the lamb was in comes out as well?" Anna tried to explain.

"That is quite a bad smell," Elsa responded.

"What do you think is causing it?" Anna asked.

Elsa looked on ahead, "I think we just found out."

The two sisters entered a large chamber of the cavern, with three large blue pods attached to the walls.

Anna placed her hand on one of the pods, the pod pulsating like a heart beating.

"What the fuck are these things?!" Anna said, shocked.

"I don't know," Elsa replied, "but they seem like cocoons of some sort."

"Cocoons, you mean there are things growing in there?"

"Yes," Elsa put her hand on the center of one of the pods. "I can sense something in here, growing, evolving."

"Were theses things always under your ice palace?" Anna wondered.

"No, they don't seem to be have been here a long time," Elsa informed her.

Suddenly, one of the pods burst open, a deep green fluid oozing out of it.

"What the?!" Anna exclaimed.

At that moment, a creature emerged from the pod. It looked like a human girl, about twelve or thirteen years of age. It had blue skin, icy grey hair and red eyes.

"What the hell? Is that the?"

"Looks like that monster did live here," Elsa said.

"And it had kids somehow," Anna added.

"Mama," The little creature said in a child like voice as it looked at Elsa.

"Mama?" Anna inquired.

"It thinks I'm its mother," Elsa stated.

The little creature walked over to Elsa, "Mama."

"Umm Elsa," Anna cautioned, "we might wanna leave now."

"Mama!" the creature growled leaping onto Elsa.

"Ahhh!" Elsa cried, feeling the creature grip onto her face and begin to bite into her skin.

Anna grabbed the creature and threw it off of Elsa.

"You okay?" Anna comforted Elsa.

"I'll manage," Elsa replied, her face covered in scratches and bite marks.

The creature lifted itself off the ground, screaming in pain. It's body began to slowly get bigger, and taller until it finally resembled the creature which Anna had seen before Elsa went to Corona.

"Okay, what's the plan?" Anna asked.

"Kill that thing," Elsa replied. "We can't let it get out of here, and cause havoc."

"Got it," Anna said, drawing her sword.

The creature lunged at both of them, screaming like a harpy.

Elsa fired a blast at the creature's feet, freezing it's legs together and sending it tumbling to the floor.

Anna drilled her sword into the creature's back, its blood oozing out.

The creature screamed in pain, the life fading from it's eyes. Soon the beast was dead.

"That felt wrong," Anna admitted. She had never taken a life before now.

"It would have killed us, Anna," Elsa comforted her sister. "It was either it or us."

"I know," Anna sighed.

Suddenly, the other two pods in the chamber burst open, revealing two fully grown monsters within them.

"Here we go, again!" Anna stated.

Elsa summoned her ice sword and stood ready.

The two creatures leapt at Anna and Elsa, screeching loudly.

Elsa took her blade and slashed it across one of the creature's chests, causing a large deep wound to appear on its abdomen.

The creature shrieked rushed at Elsa, only to be impaled by Elsa's ice blade.

Elsa pulled out her sword and the creature fell to the ground, dead.

The creature that attacked Anna grabbed her by the neck and pushed her against the wall.

Anna felt her sword fall from her hand.

"Where is my mother!" the creature snarled in Anna's ear.

"I have no idea what you're talking about," Anna croaked, feeling her windpipe being crushed by the monster's grasp.

"Where is she?!" the monster demanded, her feminine voice sounding like nails on a chalkboard.

At that moment, an icy blade pierced the creature's chest, blood dripping from the opening.

Life faded from the creature and it slumped to the ground.

Anna fell to the floor as well, gasping for air.

"You alright?" Elsa helped her sister to her feet.

"I'll be okay," Anna panted. "Are they all dead?"

"There were only three cocoons," Elsa stated, "and we killed all three."

"Great, now can we go home, my legs are aching," Anna groaned.

Elsa giggled. "Yes, my love we can go home, but not back to Arendelle."

"Why?!" Anna whined.

"There is their mother to deal with."

"Fine," Anna sighed, "but I'm gonna need a lot of Oaken's ointment on my skin."

"I'll make sure we have a good supply," Elsa said, guiding her lover out of the cave.

xXx

"Oooooooh," Anna moaned in pleasure, "that's just right."

Elsa smiled as she rubbed the cream on Anna's naked back, her fingers tenderly stroking Anna's skin.

"You are a goddess, Elsa," Anna euphorically said, "a fucking goddess."

"Hush you," Elsa cooed, "you need your rest. We have a long day tomorrow."

"Look, the mama might leave everyone alone, maybe start a new nest somewhere were people won't get hurt," Anna suggested.

"And what if she doesn't. Besides the mother will come to us," Elsa explained.

"So all we do is wait?"

"All we do is wait," Elsa confirmed.

Anna rolled over and kissed Elsa. "Then let's make the wait worthwhile."

Elsa smiled and began to make out with Anna.
