Chapter 9


Elsa stood on the balcony letting soft snow fall on her body. The cold air wrapped around her like an icy blanket but she didn't mind.

The Ice crystal on her neck glowed a brilliant blue as the weather outside grew stronger. As it so happened when the Enchanted Crystal was placed around her neck, it absorbed the magic attacking her own body. But even the strongest magic can not unthaw a frozen heart and the Ice Queen only grew colder once she heard about a tragic accident.

Turning back inside Elsa slammed the doors shut and turned to two girls. "Maisie, Kai." she began strolling over to look at the two, The Queen could pick out the fear in the girls eyes as she approached them. "Tell me." Elsa began in a icy tone. "The prisoner is he ready?"

"Y-yes your Majesty." Kai stuttered.

Bowing to the Queen she backed away.

"You are not dismissed." Elsa walked up to her pushing the tiny frame of her servant up to the wall. "I dismiss you is that clear? You do not walk away until I finish speaking to you." Elsa hissed gripping the girls chin. "Now, when I release you I want you to go and make sure my lunch is waiting for me when I return."

Elsa pushed the girl to the floor and turned to the other. "You, Maisie, go help her and get out of my sight. The two of you are pathetic." she groaned loudly. Following them out the door the Queen made her way into the dungeons. Guards unlocked several doors as she defended deeper into the stone cold castle basement. Dark and damp, where light rarely reached.

"Is that him?" Elsa began walking down the hall her long blue cape trailing behind her.

"Bring him upstairs, but first I'd like to have a little chat with him." The Queen paused a sly smile spread across her face. "LEAVE US!" she yelled

Stepping inside, Elsa moved slowly as she approached the prisoner.

"You, are the one who nearly killed me." she breathed as if she was relieved. The man was obviously weak, he had been beaten and tormented under her orders. "Do you like what my guards did to you?" she questioned speaking in a soft angry whisper. "Do you like how it feels?"

The Queen knelt down and picked up the mans chin. "You are a fool, for trying to bring harm to the Queen of Arendelle and for that I will make sure you suffer and everyone in Arendelle knows that nobody can defeat me."

Elsa dropped his chin and walked out of the cellars slamming the door shut. "Bring him outside." she ordered walking away promptly afterwards. Making comments about the disgusting conditions in the dungeons it was a wonder rulers rarely went to visit the prisoners.

Ascending up the steps the Queen finally arrived at the top people in the castle were scurrying about and looking away. The fear made her angry, she was protecting the people of Arendelle, Elsa did not tolerate thieves, murders or those who committed treason. Her kingdom was safe from crime with the exception of her attackers. They had only captured one and Elsa knew there were more. But fear, the one thing she wanted to avoid the most became her worst enemy.

Elsa breathed in deeply as she moved forward. "You!" she looked directly at a plump man. Who jumped high into the air when she stated at him with an angry glare. "Go out into the village and tell the people of Arendelle the Queen has an announcement and everyone is to be in the courtyard in thirty minutes! No exceptions!" she spoke with rage and hate filling her voice.

"Right away, your majesty," He said so quickly that he stumbled upon a few of his words. The Queen only rolled her eyes and continued walking.

When the time came Elsa stood on one of the castle balconies overlooking the courtyard. "People of Arendelle." she began. "This man was part of a group that attacked me, He and a few others almost succeeded in killing me, which is an act of treason and is a crime I will not tolerate." Elsa glanced at the man in shackles two guards on either side of him. "Let this man be an example to all of you, treason is not only a violation of law, but a crime to your kingdom and to your Queen."

Elsa walked up to him and dug her nails into his shoulder. Which drew a long scream, in Which she took the time to send a chilling blast of Ice down his throat freezing him from the inside. Elsa stood back and watched as the ice slowly froze his body from the inside out. At the time he was completely frozen the man of Ice exploded into a million shards flying everywhere.

The people of Arendelle shared whispered and worried looks as Elsa eliminated the man.

"Your Queen has been given justice by eliminating the man who nearly killed her! People of Arendelle do not fear for our kingdom will be safe again." Elsa spoke in a loud voice.

"Now go! and rest well."

Elsa turned and breathed heavily in relief. "They all make me sick." she mumbled in a hushed voice. "No respect for their Queen, pathetic and useless."

In a separate room the hushed tone of the Royal court spoke their minds.

"Queen Elsa is getting out of control, we have to act now, before she kills us all." The man at the head of the table spoke in a worried tone

"Who will look after Arendelle? What are we to do, Queen Elsa is the only one who can protect us, people fear her magic."

"The Queen has gone far beyond protecting us, she is out for revenge there is not an ounce of love left she is full of hatred." the man replied

"Even if we found a way to protect Arendelle what are we to do with Queen Elsa, she doesn't let anyone near unless she requires something."

The head of the servant girls spoke in a quiet voice

"We could capture her." The captain of the guard spoke. "it wouldn't be hard, but a prison cell won't hold her..."

"What do you suggest?" The man who seemed to be holding the meeting spoke again

"If imprisonment doesn't work, we have only one other option." the guard who was second in command spoke out from beside the captain standing and slamming his hands into the table as he got up.

"Are you suggesting we kill her!?" The captain asked, slightly shocked

"Queen Elsa, has gone far beyond the boundaries she is vile and vicious and must be stopped there is no other way."
