A/N Okay so this story is almost coming to an end. I think there will probably be 2 or 3 chapters left.
This chapter is longer then usual because it deals mostly with Alexander's backstory, which may or may not be true.
For obvious reasons this won't be at all in canon with the movie, everything mentioned is purely Fictional for the purpose of the plot.
Warning for language and sexual references.
Chapter Eleven.
An overwhelming feeling of anger, fear and despair continued to wash over the Queen. Her cheeks glistened with tears as she stared into her alleged brother's dark, fathomless orbs. She was silent...still musing on what he had just revealed, and the absurdity of it all.
"What troubles you my little snowflake?" Alexander inquired gently, interrupting Elsa's thoughts.
Elsa slid a hand across her eyes, wiping the tears whilst she struggled to find a suitable response. "Forgive me. I shouldn't be crying."
"No, no. It's totally understandable. Daddy dearest betrayed us both. But you darling sister. You have suffered the most. I still have valuable memories of our time endearing time together, but you have been stripped of such knowledge, leaving you with nothing. However, you can learn to love me again. Now, enough of all of this chit-chat. It's time for that reunion."
The Queen begrudgingly nodded. "I am prepared to listen to what you have to say, with no threat of reprisal on my part. But first, you have to let Kurt go."
Alexander hesitated. "I can't do that, sis. If you decide to unleash your Godly powers upon me, I'm a popsicle. This brat is my only bargaining tool."
Elsa stood firm. "He is not a bargaining tool. He is a child. Who, may I remind you almost died at your hands not once, but twice. I could have you executed on the spot for your crimes, but..."
He grinned as he reached out, caressing her cheek with the pad of his thumb. "But what?" She didn't need to say anything. Her expression was proof enough. "I see. You truly are curious. Fine. I won't endanger his life further, but I can't just let him go. He'll rat me out the first chance he gets. Then you'll never learn the truth."
"What do you plan to do then?"
After restraining his hands behind his back, and tying his feet together, Alexander forced the stable boy into the large amoire in the corner of Elsa's chambers. "Now you just sit tight."
Elsa flashed Kurt an apologetic look. "I'm sorry, Kurt. When this is all over, I will come back for you, I promise. Just don't be afraid."
When Kurt spoke, it was only to reassure her. "It's okay, Elsa. I'm not scared."
"That's Your Majesty to you; you little runt. Understand?" Alexander hissed. Deciding he was taking no chances, the Prince reached into his pocket, yanking out a large hankerchief, before gagging the boy.
Elsa looked horrified. "Is that really necessary?"
"We can't have him calling out and alerting any of the staff now, can we?"
After taking care of Kurt, Alexander removed his guard uniform, and turned back to Elsa. "Now you know the truth, I don't need to disguise myself any longer. Now, shall we be going?"
The Queen took a hesitant step backwards, raising her hands. Kurt was no longer in immediate danger, she could use her powers to freeze this man. But something was holding her back. A longing, a certain desire she couldn't quite quench.
"So the strong, righteous, virtuous Queen of Arendelle is going back on her word. I kept my word, sis. I've not harmed the boy. The least you can do is spare me the same courtesy."
Lowering her hands, Elsa relented. Alexander moved closer, swiping her loosened bangs from her face, before pressing his lips to her forehead, much to Elsa's disgust.
"Good girl." He then grabbed her arm none too gently and pushed her towards the door. Once outside, Alexander locked the door and slipped the key into his pocket.
As they walked side by side along the hallway, Elsa asked her first question concerning their supposed relationship. "Do you not believe this is immoral and wrong? Do you not believe this to be a crime?"
He silently pondered her line of questioning momentarily, before responding. "Is it a crime for a man to be in love with a woman?"
"No, of course not! But I am your sister. So if you are in love with me. Well that is a crime. Those things you wrote in those letters were just sickening. How could you even consider wanting to do those things to your own flesh and blood? It isn't natural."
"Oh, Elsa. So just because we are of the same kin, it isn't natural for me to want to want to be intimate with you. To taste every inch of your flesh. To fuck you senseless every night for as long as we both live."
At that indignant remark, Elsa abruptly halted, turning to meet his steely gaze. "You impudent, repulsive, poor excuse for a human being. You disgust me!"
Alexander only smirked at her attempt at name-calling. "I'm actually looking quite forward to going down on you, Elsa. I bet you taste exquisite. And of course, only I, Prince Alexander is befitting of such a delicacy."
"You vile, rotten pig. I would never allow you to carry out such an unspeakable act.
A small chuckle escaped his lips. "Well, when I make you my wife. You will have no choice but to indulge me every night. Appease me with whatever takes my fancy. It will be your duty. Honor, love and obey."
"I'll never agree to marry you! Beside's, the council would never allow a marriage between siblings, even half-siblings. It's unthinkable."
Alexander grinned. "Is that so? Well, you sure pursuaded them that's okay for our sister, dear little Anna to be engaged to a fucking commoner. And not just any commoner. Some crazed up moron who talks to his reindeer."
"Kristoff is Arendelle's official ice master and deliverer. He is no longer referred to as a commoner, at least not within these walls. Beside's, he makes my sister very happy, and Anna's happiness is of the greatest importance to me." Elsa then spun on her heels and stomped down the hall, keeping her posture stiff and regal. "Oh and one more little detail. You too will address me as Your Majesty. We are hardly on a first name basis."
When they reached the lower floor of the castle, Alexander directed Elsa towards the great hall. "Now let's find our little sister."
With intense trepidation, Elsa shuffled across the oak floor. How is Anna going to take this news? Knowing my little sister...not well at all.
Much to the blonde's surprise the great hall was empty, save for a few servants dusting and mopping.
"Where is that little spitfire? Maybe she's at the stables, making out with reindeer boy," Alexander suggested.
As they trudged towards the main entrance, Anna came bounding towards her sister, completely unaware of the situation.
"Elsa, there you are. I've been looking all over for..." she trailed off as her eyes darted to the stranger accompanying her sister. "Who's this?"
Elsa came to a standstill, but Alexander continued forward, raking his eyes over the redhead. This was the first time he had been in such close proximity to the Princess since his arrival.
"Ah, Anna. I see you're still the sprightly little Princess I remember. All grown up and clearly blossoming. I'm impressed that someone who resembled a tomboy as a child could grow up to be so...cute. How are you faring these days, Your Highness?"
The Princess gazed pensively into the stranger's eyes, captivated by his azure blue orbs. "Do...Do I know you?"
"You read my letters didn't you?!"
Anna's eyes suddenly widened, her face quickly paled. "Y-You're Elsa's secret admirer?"
He flashed her a devilish grin. "Oh, I'm much more then that-"
"Anna, we need to talk," the Queen interjected, as she stepped towards her sister, blocking his line of sight. "But somewhere more private. Let's go into the parlor, shall we?"
There was a tense, almost palatable silence. Anna thought her sister would be excited to finally meet the mystery man. But by Elsa's unusual body language and the ice forming at her feet, the Princess could sense that there was something terribly wrong.
"You know...maybe I should I fetch Kristoff."
Gathering her resolve, Elsa lashed out. "No! This is family business which doesn't concern him."
"But Elsa...he's practically family," Anna whined.
"Stop trying to undermine my authority!" Elsa snapped, regrettably. "I want you in the parlor, now!"
Looking like a child who had been scolded by its Mother, Anna lowered her head and followed Elsa into the parlor.
Once inside, Alexander locked the door and gestured for both girls to sit comfortably. Before making his announcement.
"Isn't this nice. The three of us finally together," he declared, in a mocking tone.
Panic swept over the young Princess as she clutched Elsa's hand tightly. "What's going on, Elsa? Tell me, now?!"
"Sweet, sweet Anna. Always such an inquisitive girl, aren't you? But I'll spare you the mystery no longer. I am Prince Alexander. Elsa's secret admirer and your long lost brother."
All color immediately drained from the young Princess's face, and bile rose in her throat. "Wait, what? Brother? That's a lie! You can't be our brother. Elsa, tell me he's lying. Tell me it's not true. Because if it is, then that would mean..."
"Papa laid with another woman, before Mama," Elsa finished.
The redhead felt nauseous at the mere thought. "No! I simply refuse to believe it. Elsa, please. You're not seriously telling me you believe this crazy person? Our Father would never have kept something like that a secret."
"Oh, but he did Anna. There's a lot you don't know about your precious Father."
"How did it happen?"
Alexander rolled his eyes at his youngest sister's obvious naivety. "How do you think? Our precious Father seduced my Mother, stole her virginity and then abandoned her when he found out she was bearing his child."
"Lies!" Anna screeched. "Papa would never have done such a thing!"
"Perhaps you didn't know him as well as you thought you did."
Elsa squeezed her sister's hand. "Ssh, Anna. Of course it's not true," she narrowed her eyes at Alexander, "is it?! Our Father was an honorable and noble man."
"He may have played the doting Father, but that bastard lied to me my entire fucking life. I was told my Mother was a common whore who left me at the castle gates as an infant and then disappeared. But the truth is, our so called dear Father had her executed when she threatened to reveal the truth about my true heritage."
Elsa's eyes widened. "No," she gasped.
Anna was crying now, tears streaming down her cheeks. "I don't believe you! He would never have done such a thing!"
"He was capable of almost anything. You Elsa, should know that better then anyone. You may have been his precious little Princess and the apple of his eye, but when it came to protecting his Kingdom, that man would have done anything. He may not have been so cruel as to order the execution of his own daughter after you almost killed your sister, but he still did whatever was necessary. And I should think shutting you away in your room, forcing you to conceal your powers, forbidding you any kind of contact with your own sister was a far worse torture then death."
"I thought I was a monster, Everything I did was to protect Anna!" Elsa countered, angrily.
"No! He made you believe that. Your childhood was stolen because of him. The only one who was the monster...was him!" A tear trickled down his cheek, but he quickly swiped it away and continued.
"Anyway, after the gates were suddenly locked and most of the staff strangely disappeared, I became curious. I overheard Agdar and your Mother talking about the accident and what they felt needed to be done. I actually pitied you. I had only ever had limited contact with you and Anna before the accident, but I felt like we weren't so different. We were both victims of that vile man's malevolence. So one day, I decided to sneak into your room.
I was twelve at the time, and you were nine. But from the moment I saw you...I mean really saw you, this lonely, confused, delicate little snowflake, we instantly connected, and I felt a sudden urge to protect you from that wretched man."
"Don't speak about our Father that way!" Anna shrieked. "The only wretched man around here is you!"
Tears welled up in the Queen's eyes. "I never felt any ill will or resentment towards our Father. He was a good man who made a poor choice. It wasn't his fault he was led astray. He wasn't to know that the key to controlling my powers was love and not fear."
"And I was the one who taught you that, Elsa. You see, over time you came to trust me. We spent almost every waking moment together. I was the only one who could get close to you. I was the only one who was not afraid of you...or your amazing powers. As the years passed by, you were starting to blossom and by the time you turned fourteen, I had already started to develop romantic feelings for you. It was at that moment, I decided that I needed more then just a friendship. And you told me you wanted that too. When you were fifteen, we shared our first kiss. I never once suspected it was wrong. After your sixteenth birthday, our relationship became more physical, but we never went further then kissing and touching. We did however talk about running away together, to a place where we could be together...forever.
Then one fateful evening, one of the servants caught me leaving your room. Adgar was enraged. He wanted to know everything. He was convinced that I had deflowered his darling daughter. I was dragged to the dungeons and violently beaten. I tried to tell him that we did no wrong, that I was in love with you. And it was then that I finally learnt the terrifying truth. That I was indeed his bastard child and that you...you were my sister! At first I was horrified and disgusted, but slowly, I came to realize that I didn't care. I loved you no matter what.
The next day though, I woke up bound and gagged on a ship sailing to a entirely different country. I was subsequently dumped in a strange town with a pouch containing one hundred gold coins and a piece of parchment stating that I had been exiled. And that if I ever stepped foot on Arendelle soil again, I would be executed on the spot. Father also made it quite clear that you would soon forget about me and you'd never learn the truth. You have no idea how many times I wanted to come back, and if I had been aware of his demise sooner, I would have. I was so miserable without you.
Then, as luck would have it, a few years later, I heard a strange thing. Word had spread that Arendelle had suffered an eternal winter, rumored to have been caused by its newly coronated Queen. I knew it had to be you, so I made it my mission to come back for you."
Anna had heard enough of this total fabrication. "I can't listen to this anymore. You've seen, Elsa. And she's fine. She's also been perfectly happy without you. Now, why don't you crawl back to the hell-hole you came from and leave us alone."
"I wish I could do that, Anna. But Elsa and I have unfinished business."
This time it was Elsa's turn to speak. "My sister is right. I promised you that I would listen, but I simply cannot believe everything that you've told me. Perhaps if I was presented with further evidence then I may be inclined to change my mind. But for now, all I know is that you've committed crimes against the Kingdom and endangered lives. I cannot and will not condone that...even if you are my brother."
Elsa stood, gesturing Anna to follow.
"So that's it! After everything I've told you, this is how you repay me! Do you have any idea what I've been through? What our Father put us both through?"
Elsa shook her head. "Anna and I both went through thirteen years of hell. But not once have I ever blamed my parents for their decision. And Father isn't here to defend himself. We only have your word. Now, can you kindly unlock the door?"
Alexander stalked menacingly towards the girls. "Why would you risk destroying what we have?"
She met his gaze. "We never had anything. Now, let us out, Alexander. This instant!" Elsa ordered.
"Just freeze the lock, Elsa." Anna cried, desperately.
"I lost you once, I wont lose you again. We promised we'd be together forever," Alexander growled.
"Don't you see. We can't be together...not now, not ever!" Elsa retaliated, the temperature in the room now starting to plummet, rapidly
Anna clutched at Elsa's sleeve. "Freeze him, Elsa."
Elsa raised her hands, but before her blast of ice met its target, Alexander had moved with lightning speed, grabbing Anna, and holding her flush against him, using her as a shield.
"I love you, Elsa. You'll soon understand that we're meant to be together. But Anna here. I'm afraid that she'd never understand. She'll only be in our way."
"Alexander please...don't!" But before the Queen could fully comprehend his intention, it was already too late, the Prince had plunged the knife into her sister's back.
Anna shrieked in agony, before Alexander withdrew the blade and the Princess crumpled to the floor, blood pooling beneath her.
"NO ANNA!" Elsa screamed, dropping to her knees and cradling her beloved sister. The furious Queen gazed up at her brother. "What have you done?!"
"She's not the one I care about. Only you, Elsa. It's only ever been you. I can't live without you. You're too beautiful...too special, too perfect."
A bolt of ice immediately shot out, catching him in the shoulder, but it wasn't enough to deter him. "Do your worse, Snow Queen. I know you won't hurt me. It isn't in your nature to intentionally harm others...especially family."
Elsa fired another blast of ice in his direction, but in her emotional state, her hands were shaking violently and her aim was clearly off.
Alexander took advantage of her vulnerability, and swung his hand, backhanding her and knocking her backwards towards the floor. He then grabbed a fistful of hair, yanking her to her feet, before spinning her around to meet his gaze. His azure blue eyes stared into her cerulean blue orbs and his lips curled into a smirk. "If we can't live together...then we'll die together."
A/N Sorry for the cliffhanger. I'd also like to inform readers that Elsa's memories were altered so that is why she doesnt remember about Alexander. This will be mentioned in the next chapter when kai and Gerda find out about him.
More to come...
