The Queen, the princess and the servants

Chapter 11

Elsa and Anna took a deep breath. They ran back into the castle to informeverybody that they were leaving. When they saw Kai, they immediately ran up to him.

"Kai! Alicia and Victoria had just been taken away; we're going to Latiah to save them." Anna said out of breath.

"Oh dear, bless their hearts I really liked them. What do you want us to do?" Kai said.

"We want everyone else to stay here at the castle, and you're in charge. If we're not back in a couple days, send some people to go look for us." Elsa said frantically.

"Okay then have a safe trip." Kai nodded.

"Kai?" Anna asked.

"Yes." He answered as he was about to walk away.

"Where is Latiah?" Anna asked.

Elsa and Anna both didn't have a clue where it was. Kai sighed.

"Follow me." He commanded.

Elsa and Anna followed him to the servant headquarters. It was really strange, there was a table with poker and cards on it, also a cabinet supplied with goodies like cookies, muffins, and crackers. The walls were a nice emerald green and a statue stood nice and tall. Kai looked in a drawer and pulled out a big map. He laid it flat on a table. It appeared to be the map of their side of Europe. Elsa and Anna leaned in close to see the map. Kai pointed at Arendelle and then pointed at Latiah.

"They are very close to each other but because of cultural differences, the king and queen try to stay as unnoticeable as possible. It should take no more than a couple hours to get there if you follow this trail correctly, other path ways might be dangerous or more difficult." Kai said pointing directly to a distinctive trail that connected Arendelle and Latiah.

Elsa and Anna pointed nodded their heads.

"Here, take this map and good luck!" He smiled.

Elsa and Anna made their way to the castle entrance.

"Wait Elsa!" Anna yelled.

"What?"

"First of all, even though we know where Latiah is we still don't know, where they'll be."

Elsa thought about it.

"Maybe so, but I think captured slaves that are getting forced into marriage will get around and get people talking, so I bet if we ask we'll get our information."

"Okay but before we go let's pack some stuff."

"Oh okay, like what?"

"Let's see food, some clothes, CHOCOLATE, water, CHOCOLATE and most importantly CHOCOLATE.

Elsa giggled.

"Okay let's hurry up."

Elsa and Anna hurried up to go get the supplies they needed and packed them in a bag almost too quickly.

They without any time went to go get horses. They wanted to tell Kristoff, Olaf, and Sven but they were nowhere to be found and they didn't have much time.

Before they left, Elsa went to grab something and stuffed it in her bag.

Elsa held the map as the two sisters tried to follow the path that lead to Latiah.

At the castle, Kai gave a slight grin.

"Okay guys they fell for it, you guys can stop playing now."

He was oblivious to how serious the situation was.

"Guys? I know this was a prank."

He was just standing there talking to himself.

"Wait a minute, this is serious isn't it?"

He must have been delusional because he thought he saw the painting on the wall nod his head.

"Well they're going to be okay, Elsa and Anna got it under control. They'll go over there and sort things out. Hopefully.

He was very fond of them, they were very nice and Alicia reminded him of his daughter that was all grown up. Victoria reminded him of himself when he was younger, they were like family. If there was something he could do, he would do it. But what could he do? It did give him joy at the moments when he helped them play a prank on Elsa and Anna. How stupid they looked that day. He felt so alive, he felt a lot of confidence. How joyous he felt that he let Alicia sing him into throwing a party while Elsa and Anna were away. It was only supposed to be once, but he got carried away and decided to party every night. It was different, it was weird, but it was special. They brought a lot of fun to his world that he thought he wouldn't have again. So was it over? It didn't have to be but, it wasn't the same.

He had an idea that brought joy to his heart. He went ahead and made his way to the public cemetery that one of his best friends had been buried in.

He sat next to Tom's grave.

"You know I know you've been watching over us. I miss you Tom, you'll always be very close to my heart. You were taken away so sudden and unexpectedly that sometimes I forget you're gone. Who didn't like you? Anna adored you, Elsa respected you, the king and queen were very fond of you, and as for us the workers. We loved you; we all love each other very much. Keep an eye over Elsa and Anna. They're the only ones left before we all die from depression."

Kai refused to cry, instead he smiled and patted Tom's grave before he slowly walked away. He was making his way to another destination. He walked to the royal cemetery and made his way to two big grave stones that stood next to each other. He sighed again. This was a really depressing day.

"Hello your majesties. Umm… this is really awkward but yeah, hi, err… just in case the suspense is killing you." Kai paused, thinking about what he just said. . "Okay wrong choice of words, but yeah I just wanted to umm… say… that… umm… you guys are doing a great job of keeping watch over your daughters, they've grown into wonderful, admirable, strong young women. Just yesterday Anna was asking Elsa to build a snowman and… wait that was yesterday. Wow okay no examples. Ooh look that's a squirrel, it's brown, and small, interesting. Ha ha Bananas! Err.. thanks and yeah have a good day I guess."

Kai walked back to the castle, okay yeah so that did not go as smooth as it could of but he tried. He was nervous talking to them even though they were deceased. At least now he felt a little at peace and relaxed.

Elsa and Anna kept riding their horse. Anna had a thought cross her mind.

"Hey Elsa what if this was all a prank?"

Elsa's face showed no mercy.

"I would kill them myself, then I'd somehow het them to live, and then I'd kill them again, and then I'd laugh and sing like nothing happened, and then I'd kill them until I killed them again."

Anna had a straight face.

"Well I don't know if that's possible to kill someone four times, remind me never to get on your bad side."

Elsa slightly smiled.

"Let's just hope the best."

They kept on riding their horses to the path that seemed to be going pretty well. At least until Elsa handed the map over to Anna so she could grab some chocolate from her bag. Anna held it up in the air as it swayed in the wind; a big gust of wind blew it out of her loose grasp with the map. And it blew away in the wind.

"Umm, Elsa?" Anna called.

"Yeah, Anna."

"We have a slight problem."

"What is it?"

"Well the map that we're using…"

"What about the map?"

"It kinda blew away."

Elsa's expression was priceless, even the horses seemed to notice that Anna had messed up big time.

"Anna!"

"It wasn't my fault, the wind was being a meany!"

"Well now what are we going to do?"

"Relax I'm sure the trail is very distinctive, and I think I remember some of the way."

"Anna we're doomed."

"No we're fine."

Anna didn't have the slightest clue of where to go. They stumbled upon the option of a river, a mountain, and a another trail.

"Let's take the trail!" Elsa suggested.

"No Elsa, don't you know rivers mean short cuts?"

"Since when?"

"Since forever, trust me I have a good sense of navigation."

"Yeah sure, I'm going to take the trail."

"No we need you to freeze the river!"

"Anna I'm not about to freeze a river so that you can get us lost."

Anna frowned. "Well then Captain Anna's So Awesome I hope you know how to swim."

Elsa rolled her eyes, even Anna's horse was playing the shame game, making sad eyes and dropping its head. Elsa went ahead and followed her sister, while her horse nudged her. They just had to pick horses that were related.

Anna eyed her sister following her as she smirked.

"I knew you'd come around." Anna smiled.

"Whatever." Elsa said.

Elsa got off her horse and slightly touched the water, that little touch froze the whole river. Their horses looked terrified at crossing.

"Come on you guys can do it! Nothing to be afraid of." Elsa said as encouragement.

They both looked cautiously at each other.

"Come on ice doesn't bite." Elsa said.

"Actually there's frostbite." Anna said.

"Quiet Anna! That's just a myth."

Anna opened her mouth to object but she knew that proving Elsa wrong wouldn't do anything.

Anna's horse gave it a try, she stepped into the frozen river and slowly made his way across the river.

"Go ahead Captain Anna's So Awesome, you can do it!" Anna said encouraging her horse.

"Anna did you really have to name your horse Captain Anna's so Awesome?'

"Yes I did Elsa, he shall never forget."

Elsa's horse then gave it a try and Elsa soothingly tried to calm him. Luckily they both made it to the other side. Next Elsa without any fear what's so ever went to go cross it. Anna then realized why the horses were scared.

"Umm, Elsa that ice looks slippery." Anna said nervously.

Elsa sighed, she grabbed Anna's hand.

"Hold on!" She screamed.

"Wait, what?" Anna asked before Elsa ran across the river holding on to Anna's hand. It was so sudden that Anna forgot to breath. When they reached the other side of the river, Elsa let Anna's hand go.

"See not so scary right?" Elsa asked getting onto her horse.

"No, but how about you warn me next time you drag me across a frozen river?"

"No promises."

Anna looked back

"Elsa?" Anna asked.

"Yes."

"You probably should unfreeze that river."

Elsa looked back as well.

"Ugh, but it's not that noticeable."

"Elsa stop being lazy."

"But I have to wave my hand, I'm exhausted just thinking about it."

"Elsa!"

"Ugh fine."

She effortlessly unfroze the river with a little shake in her fingers.

"Ugh that was so exhausting." Elsa groaned.

"Yeah you can run across a river with no problems, but you can't wave your fingers?"

Elsa shrugged as they continued to ride to wherever Anna was taking them.

Meanwhile… Alicia sat in the coach, waiting for it to get to Latiah, she hated everything about the situation, she hated how uncomfortable she was with all the hot air and men always touching her. She also hated how helpless she felt. Did she imagine that guy? It all happened so fast, was it an illusion? She wondered where her sister was, their coaches never crossed paths. She gave an evil look at the guy who aggressively dragged her. The man looked back at her and started getting mad. Alicia looked out the glass window and lightly tapped on it. It cracked and she smirked, then turned back at the aggressive guy. He grabbed his sword which got the attention of all the other men and held it close to her body.

"Don't try anything!" He said menacingly.

Alicia tapped on his sword and it shattered. Everybody turned to see the embarrassed man.

"Wow your sword was really weak." Another man commented.

Alicia turned away and continued to stare out the window, that had a slight crack in it.

In Victoria's coach…

"You know it really hurt my feelings how you and your sister ran away, I watched you guys grow up, more than half of your lives have been spent with me. You have to admit I'm the closet thing you have to a father, and a uncle, and a grandpa. You wanted to leave the only thing you've ever known?" Gaston said laid back.

Victoria paused for about five minutes.

"This is not the only thing I've ever known, I had a real family and they loved me very much. They never forced me to do anything, they never beat me, and they would never make me marry random strangers." She said through her teeth.

"Well that's in the past, obviously they didn't love you and your sister enough or they wouldn't have sold you. So welcome to reality."

"How do you sleep at night knowing that you're the devil's spawn?" Victoria blurted out, she was thinking it but she never planned to say it.

"Hush! I dare you talk to me that way. I don't know what you learned and did at that castle but that's over so your vacation is done."

"How did you even find us?"

"I don't want to go into details but your sister is stupid. That's all I need to say."

"No, she can come up with a prank in 6.5 seconds."

"Maybe but she's still stupid, you'd be better off if she was never born."

"No way!"

"Whatever, we'll be there soon, get ready for the best day of your life."

"And if I somehow get rescued?"

Gaston began laughing.

"By who? Trust me nobody cares whether you lived or died so nobody would even think about saving you."

"Don't make assumptions."

And with that Victoria turned around and looked out the window.

Elsa and Anna continued riding their horses. A faint growl noise came from the distance, Anna was shaken up with fear. The growl started to become louder and louder as they moved along.

"Elsa?" Anna whispered.

"Huh?"

"Be careful I think I hear something."

"What do you think it is?"

Suddenly her horse neighed that resembled a high scream; a pack of wolves surrounded them. Elsa and Anna stayed in place. Their horses panicked and went into full karate mode, the bigger wolves aimed for the horses and the other wolves aimed for Elsa and Anna.

"Stand back!" Elsa commanded.

The wolves only snarled at her.

Anna reached into her bag and grabbed a sandwich and threw it at them, she thought maybe they would leave them alone and go get the sandwich but they insisted in having the four of them as their prey. A wolf ran up the Elsa and her horse managed to kick it, making causing it too much pain to continue.

Ten wolves jumped onto them, Anna took her bag a hit every wolf she could with all her force. Some of the bigger and stronger wolves still proceeded to attack, one managed to scratch Anna's face.

"You did not just scratch my sister!" Elsa yelled.

The wolf who looked to be the leader stood his ground like he was testing her. Elsa then unleashed her powers and ice came coming out like wind and tore him apart as he stood there and growled ferociously at her. The other wolves that were lucky enough to not had been hit with the ice whimpered and ran away in fear when they saw what had just happened.

Everything became calm.

"Anna are you okay?" Elsa asked.

"Oh I'm fine, that was cool what you did."

"I guess but I only meant to scare him."

"Oh, well anyway we should get going."

Elsa and Anna continued to ride their way to where they hope Latiah was.

About fifteen minutes later Alicia's coach arrived, the men untied her then escorted her out, making sure to surround her so that she couldn't run away. They brought her into her own home that was way too familiar. So much for dreams. They locked her into a room and told to get a good rest for the busy day the next day.

Ten minutes later Victoria's coach arrived, they did the same to her. Gaston made his way over to Gregory and Seth's big home to inform them that Victoria and Alicia had been captured.

Elsa and Anna had seen a little sign that was hanged up on a tree. Elsa squinted her eyes to read it.

"Welcome to Latiah." She read.

Elsa and Anna were thrilled that they had finally made it to their destination, and Anna's ego boosted at the fact that with her guidance they made it. But before they could even breathe.

"Queen Elsa and Princess Anna what are you guys doing here?!" A man yelled as he bowed down.

"You see we have to-." Elsa got cut off.

"I have to inform the king and queen! Come with me!" He said.

Elsa and Anna followed him to a big lovely quiet castle. He went to go inform the king and queen and for the first time they saw the king and queen of Latiah. They were wearing what appeared to be animal fur, the finest jewelry was bedazzled onto their crowns and shoes. The king seemed to be about 40 to 50 year old, but the queen seemed to be 25 to mid 30's. The king stood tall. The queen looked like it took her a long time to get her makeup done and had a complicated hair style. The king had layered blonde hair, and the queen had wavy brown hair that looked dark red in the light.

"Hello." Greeted the king.

"Uh hi your majesties." Elsa said nervously.

"What brings you two here?" The queen asked.

"Umm well we're here for a mission really, it has to do with some friends who were let's say taken here and we want to go to their weddings for something important, it was very sudden so we couldn't have informed you guys ahead of time." Anna said with a little stutter.

"Well then it's great to meet you guys, we barely ever meet rulers from other kingdoms." The king said.

Elsa yawned.

"Oh I think you guys should get to sleep, we'll serve dinner and set up the guest rooms." The queen suggested.

Elsa and Anna followed a servant to the dining room where they sat down and ate a relatively small meal, the only person eating a big meal was the king. All the women even the queen of Latiah got a small meal . They wondered why. They noticed servants giving massages and playing instruments like the harp and the violin. They looked very stressed and exhausted, some even looked like they were in pain. It was hard to watch.

They soon made their way to the guest room which was big enough to be divided into two rooms, maybe even three. They wished themselves the best of luck and carried on to sleep. For the end of an unexpected, complicated, long day. They both knew that getting there was only half the problem.
