Some of you noticed they both took each others virginities and yes that is true but that's because, during this time period (even though this is all fictional) women were expected to remain virgins until their wedding night. If not, well, the consequences weren't very nice.

Also, I don't know how medieval plumbing works so sorry for my lack of knowledge later on in the chapter Dx

I am sooo so soooooo sorry that I like murdered your hearts and souls with the whole rape thing and I need to confirm now that yes, Anna was indeed raped. I'm sorry. I just need some fuel for this story. *if that makes sense lol*

I just wanna say now that rape is not okay under any circumstances and it's not at all something to joke about. Rape is a serious matter that effects millions of people and can cause many problems both mentally and physically. So please, do not accuse me of making fun of it or call me stuff when I say that it happened to Anna because it's just a story and she will be okay (she's fictional, after all, and I'm a sucker for happy endings).

With that in mind, here is the slightly-less-emotional chapter 11~


Get up.

You have to go to her.

But I can't. Moving hurts...

A battle was raging between my heart, mind, and body. The pain that was stabbing each one of my muscles was just unbearable. But the aching in my heart... that was much, much worse.

She needs you.

She does. She needs me. I have to go to her.

I forced my eyes open. The cold air from outside hit my cheeks.

The door outside was wide open, footprints from Viktor's boots leading back out into the mountain.

Why... why didn't he kill me?

Because if he finds her first, he'll force you to do whatever he wants. Because you'll do anything as long as she's safe. My mind clicked it all together.

I shoved myself to my feet, ignoring the agonizing protests from my body, and hurried out of the palace.

I created two large, snarling, ice wolves. The creatures had sharp, icicle teeth and their eyes glowed white.

"Find Viktor!" I ordered. "Do what you must."

The creatures took off at my request and I forced myself to follow the small footprints I knew were Anna's at a fast pace.

I had to get to her.

I had to save her.

My arm was a bloody mess, and my face had lots of blood on it, too. I don't know what that bastard did to me, but it didn't matter. All that mattered was finding Anna.

"A-Anna!" I called out into the night.

I was only answered with the quiet swish of trees in the wind.

Oh god, no.

I pushed myself to go faster. I had to beat him there.

The distant snarls of my ice wolves filled my ears.

They found him.

I forced my legs to go even faster, the excruciating pain was almost too much. Tears dripped down from my eyes and froze – literally – in place, my panic creating a harsh icy wind.

Then I saw it.

A pink, huddled form.

The closer I got, the clearer it became. Disheveled orange hair. Pale skin stained with...

Blood!

"Anna!" I gasped, collapsing in front of the form.

Bright blue eyes snapped open and looked at me with fear. She crawled away and it was then I saw the source of the blood. Right there, near the top of her thighs where her dress was torn. The fabric had crimson stains, as well, and realization dawned on me.

He... he really did do it. Hans raped her. Hans raped my poor, sweet, innocent Anna.

"Anna, it's me, Elsa," I said softly, tears blurring my vision.

"E-Elsa?" Her voice was hoarse, like her throat was raw from screaming.

Liquid poured down her face as she realized it really was me. She threw herself into my arms and I held her tightly, allowing her to sob into my shoulder.

"H-He... he..." She blubbered.

"Shh, I know, snowflake, I know." I cooed, kissing her cheek gently.

There were horrible bruises all over her face and the skin that was exposed by torn fabric. Her nose looked like it was broken, and her left eye was swollen badly.

The not-so-distant yelp of one of my wolves hit my ears and fear spiked through me.

"Anna, listen to me," I instructed firmly. "I need you to tell me how to get to Kristoff's from here. Can you do that, baby?" She nodded weakly. "Okay. Good. I'm gonna take you there and I promise he won't hurt you. You're gonna be okay. Just trust me." She nodded again and I stood up, carefully scooping her into my arms with one hand under her knee and one behind her shoulders.

I pushed my feet into working, despite the rising pain in my entire body.

"E-Elsa, I..." The redhead coughed suddenly and I clenched my eyes shut for a moment, cold tears streaking down my cheeks.

"Shh, don't talk," I ordered gently, kissing a tear away from her cheek.

She nuzzled into my neck, shaking, as I squeezed her harder.

I had to get there. I just had to.

The ground beneath my feet turned to ice with each step, allowing me to push faster and – hopefully – make Viktor slower. I didn't know how far he was behind us, but I had no intention of finding out.

The snarls of my wolves faded into the distance and I began to relax slightly.


"Anna, is this the right way?" I asked gently after a few moments of running with the icy wind.

The younger girl turned slightly to look in front of me and nodded. "F-Find Oaken's. His house is right there."

With a sudden surge of adrenaline, I burst forward even faster. I could see the distant smoke of a fire. We were close.

The building came into view and, just as Anna had said, there was a cabin in front of it.

I didn't bother knocking on the door, so I just burst right inside.

"Jesus Christ!" The tall, muscular boy gasped, standing up with fear. When he saw who it was and what was happening, his eyes widened. "Holy shit! Anna!"

"Careful!" I hissed, shutting the door tightly and setting the redhead down on a pile of hay. "Shh, Anna, it's just Kristoff." I murmured softly as I sat down beside her, smoothing back her ruffled hair.

"Anna, hey, it's me." Kristoff's voice was much softer now. He bent down to look at her eyes. "Anna, what... what hap-"

"I'll tell you in a minute." I interrupted, not wanting to trigger the redhead's memories. "Do you, er, have anything she can wear?"

He shook his head. "Um, we should go to Oaken's. Get her washed up."

"You think he'll let us?"

"He loves Anna. God, he treats her like she's his own child."

"Okay," I lifted her up like I did before.

The reindeer – what was his name? Sven? – nudged my arm gently, his eyes full of worry.

"Is Anna okay?" Olaf's voice reached my ears and I looked down at Sven's legs, where the snowman was holding on tightly.

I shook my head gravely. "I'm afraid not, little guy."

"Does she need a hug?"

I sighed. "Right now, she needs a bath."

I walked out and looked around cautiously. I used my left hand to create a large snow monster.

"Marshmallow, keep an eye out for Viktor." I ordered. The large creature nodded and looked out into the direction I'd come from.

I hurried over to Oaken's, with Kristoff, Sven, and Olaf at my heels.

I walked inside and looked around. "Hello? Mr. Oaken?"

"Hoo hoo!" Somebody called and I turned to see a large man with kind eyes staring at me with a wide grin. "Hello, Queen Elsa, what brings you – oh, dear!" He hurried over to us. "What happened to Miss Anna?"

"Something terrible. Do you have a bath we can use? And perhaps some clean clothes?"

"Of course!" He hurried to the back of the store and our small group followed.

He handed Kristoff some women's clothes and lead us through a door that lead into what appeared to be a very large cabin.

"The family's away for a few days, the house is all yours, ya?"

"Thank you, Mr. Oaken." I smiled gratefully at him and hurried into what seemed to be a bathroom.

I filled the tub with water and Kristoff set the clothes on a small wooden step close by.

"I-I'll, uh, leave you two to it..." Kristoff muttered, a deep red blush spreading across his cheeks.

The door shut and I filled the tub with warm water, hissing when it touched me. I liked cold baths better, for obvious reasons.

"Anna, baby, I need you to take your clothes off." I murmured gently to the half-conscious girl.

Her eyes widened suddenly and she backed up.

"No, no, not like that. It's not like that." I gasped. "I-I man, I need to wash you up and make sure nothing is broken."

Her eyes softened and she nodded. I turned around and gave her some privacy. When I heard the water swish and a quiet hiss of pain, I turned around.

What I saw absolutely horrified me. My stomach dropped. My heart stopped. Time seemed to stand still. The room began to grow cold for a second, but I forced my powers to stay at bay.

Bruises surrounded her body, purple and blue contrasting against delicate pale. The bathwater became crimson as the blood washed out.

"Oh, Anna," I whispered brokenly, sitting on my knees at the edge of the tub.

My pain had returned ten-fold. I gasped, clutching my side. I clenched my eyes shut, trying to force the pain away.

Come on, Elsa, be strong! For her!

I slowly opened my eyes to find bright teal staring back at me.

"Elsa, what happened to you?" Anna whispered, concern and fear lacing her tone.

"It's nothing," I assured weakly. "Just a few bruises, that's all."

"Elsa." Her voice was firm, commanding. She used her fingertips beneath my chin to make me look up into her eyes. "Don't lie to me. Please, tell me what happened."

"I-I don't remember." I admitted, defeated. "Viktor knocked me out, and he... I think he just beat me up."

She visibly relaxed, obviously fearing something else happened.

"Anna, I'm going to wash you now, okay?" I grabbed the washcloth from the edge of the wooden tub. "Tell me if I hurt you or if you wanna do something yourself, okay?"

She nodded and I wet the cloth.


Once we were both bathed and in comfortable clothes (Anna in a nice warm dress and me in one of my winter dresses) I took the smaller girl back to Kristoff's cottage.

Anna's nose, fortunately, wasn't broken. She only had some bruises and gashes. I, however, had several deep wounds (my wrist covered in the ones I did myself) all over my torso. My face had some good bruises, as well. The side of my head had a rather painful lump from being hit against by what I assumed was Viktor's giant paw of a hand.

The worse injury was between Anna's legs. Nothing seemed teared, I'd noted with relief, but there were some scratches. Anna told me that Hans didn't... inside, thank god, so the chance of her being pregnant were definitely thrown out the window.

I had set Anna down on a stack of hay and the tall, blond ice harvester stood up from his spot on the floor with Sven.

"Look, I know you girls have a kingdom to run, but you need to rest and heal. I'll go out tomorrow and tell Kai to keep it a secret. I'll just tell everyone that you're taking a vacation." Kristoff explained firmly. "I'm not letting you two leave like this. Not when those two psychos are out there, and definitely not until I put that bastard to justice."

"Leave me to the justice," I snarled. "Just tell Kai to inform Commander Felix that Hans and Viktor are wanted for treason and that Anna and I are safe. Tell them to find – and imprison – Hans and Viktor at any cost."

Kristoff nodded. "I'll leave first thing in the morning, but first you ladies gotta heal."

I smiled in appreciation. "Thank you, Kristoff, for everything."

"No problem. I'm gonna talk to Oaken for a sec, but I'll be right back." The Ice Harvester walked outside.

"Anna," I turned to the redhead, "I am so, so sorry for what I said. I didn't mean any of it. I was just being stupid." I bit my lip as tears blurred my vision. "I was just so... so scared of what I felt and what I did because of it. What we did was not a mistake." I looked into bright blue eyes as they urged me to continue. "What we did was beautiful. It was just amazing. I would never take it back because I'm so damn in love with you it hurts. I love you more than I have ever loved anybody. I don't care that we're sisters because, like you said, love only knows the heart. And what my heart wants is you. Just you. I love you, Anna."

I watched a single tear drip down her cheek before her hands cupped my face and pulled me into a deep, loving kiss. A thousand words that we could never say were spoken through that kiss. It spoke of love and trust. It was the kind of kiss I'd read about in books countless times, but never thought twice about.

When we pulled away her loving blue gaze met mine.

"Oh, Elsa, you have no idea how long I've wanted you to say that." She smiled. "And please, don't ever hurt yourself again. I hate it when you hurt inside, Elsa, but seeing you hurt outside is just too much. Please promise you won't. Please."

"Anything for you, my little snowflake." I cooed, kissing her freckled nose affectionately. "Now, we've both had a long day. We need to rest if we're going to be healthy enough to take those boys down."

She giggled and laid back in the straw. I lay beside her and put a cautious arm around her waist. She snuggled into me and I sighed contentedly.

I knew this feeling of security was only an illusion, but it was nice to pretend I might not have an entire kingdom pressing a knife to my throat in the morning.

Because for now, Anna was safe. And as long as she was safe, I was more than happy. If only for just a little while.


As I said, I don't now how medieval plumbing works. So I just kinda winged it.

Before I go I gotta tell you guys to read an AMAZING AU fic called "A Snowflake in Spring" by Celery Sticks. It's simply fantastic and it's legit my favorite AU fic of Elsanna ever. Like seriously. Go read it.

With that, I leave you in emotional heartbreak!

Until next time, my amazing readers who I love so very much!
