"Olaf!" Elsa called shooting a wall of ice at the two brutes in front of her, spinning around to face the two behind her. A vicious grin lit up her flushed face as Olaf slid around the corner and latched his jaws around one of the brutes neck. She focused her attention on the other one, summoning an ice machete in one hand. The man ran at her pulling a gun out. She stamped her foot into the ground causing the entire alley to be coated in red ice, making the man slip. She threw the ice machete at him, impaling him through the chest. Olaf jumped off the first bloody brute and ran up beside her as she turned to face the ice wall she had created. He snarled as she melted the wall, both of them consecutively jumping to the side as the men shot at them. She grinned triumphantly and began to sprint forward, shooting ice platforms as steps up the wall, doing the same for the other side for Olaf to run up. She could feel her muscles tightening and for once was thankful for the brutal training she had been put through. They taught me how to fight, made me into a killer. And here i am, killing the very people that did this to me. She thought, her heart pounding with adrenaline. How ironic. The brute on her side gasped slightly and tried to aim his gun at the blonde as she jumped off the ice steps, forming a dagger in her hand in the air. She landed behind him and grabbed him around the shoulder with one arm, holding the knife up to his throat with the other. Olaf followed his master and landed on top the other man, his teeth poised to bite into the mans neck.
"How many more of you are there?" Elsa hissed in German into the mans ear. He just grinned and shook his head slowly.
"Like I would tell you." He spat, and grabbed her knife arm and tried to get out of her grip by bending her wrist and flipped her over his shoulder. She let out a small gasp of pain as she hit the ground hard. She heard a yelp from Olaf as the brute forced him off and knocked the wolf back, training his gun on him.
"Olaf!" She screamed as the gun went off, reaching her hand out in desperation to save him. She felt as if time slowed down and her back seared with pain, her eyes widening at the scene in front of her.
Anna took a deep breath to calm herself, watching the security screens on the wall as Kristoff apologized continuously to the short German man about her actions. She ground her teeth, feeling anger building up in her chest. That man tortured and experimented on Elsa. Ruined her life forever. Destroyed a childs innocence. She thought angrily, her fists clenching and unclenching. An image of Eric's kind hearted smile flashed in her mind. No, he destroyed 4 childrens innocence. She watched as he grabbed the ice creams and left the store, taking one more glance around the room with his large eyes. Kristoff slammed the back door and rushed over to Anna who was bent over the desk, her fists clenched against the cold wood.
"Anna, what the hell is wrong with you?" He asked and grabbed her shoulder, spinning her around. The red-head glared angrily at him through her angry tears. "Do you know that man?" He asked, his voice softer this time, eyes looking at her with concern. Anna glared at him and let out a long sigh unclenching her fists.
"No. He just reminded me of someone." She lied, avoiding his gaze. "Kristoff, I need to know where Elsa went." She continued, ignoring the frustrated sigh from her co-worker, "I'm serious. It's really, really important. Please Kristoff." Kristoff watched the girl, and finally groaned.
"She messaged me yesterday, telling me she was just in the next town, but to not tell you, okay?" He responded and Anna felt a sharp pain in her chest.
"Why didn't she want me to know where she was?" She said, her voice betraying her pain. Kristoff shrugged.
"I don't know. That was just what she said. And that she should be back by next week." He finished, crossing his arms over his broad chest. Anna chewed her lip. She could be taken away. But she obviously doesn't want to see me. But why? Her thoughts were frantic and jumbled, her breathing fast.
"I'm going Kristoff. I need to talk to her." Anna murmured suddenly, grabbing her bag. Kristoff quickly unfolded his arms in surprise.
"You haven't finished your shift yet though!" He said. Anna frowned, and swung her bag over her shoulder.
"Then fire me." She whispered viciously and left, leaving the man standing gobsmacked in the middle of the room. Anna ran to her car, throwing her bag in the back and quickly pulled out her phone. Still no reply. She quickly dialled in Rapunzels number, tapping her finger impatiently against her steering wheel.
"Hello?" Punzie answered cautiously.
"Hey Punz it's Anna. Listen I'm going out of town for awhile." She explained. "I should hopefully be back tonight, and I'll tell you what's going on. Just don't stress." She hung up before Rapunzel cause reply and accessed the internet, bringing up Google Maps. She typed in Ice Queen Ice Creamery and redirected her GPS to find a route to the next town over that had one.
"I'm coming, Elsa." She murmured and revved her engine, speeding out of the carpark.
Elsa watched in awe as her power flared and a pillar of ice rose from the ground encasing the bullet and spreading out into a wall to protect Olaf.
"What the hell!" The brute yelled angrily and Elsa sighed in relief then gasped in pain as the brute she was fighting kicked her hard in the stomach. She curled in a ball trying to get her breath back, clutching her arms around her stomach. "Maybe he underestimated you." The brute spat and used his foot to roll Elsa over. She glared up at him, and reached her arm out - melting the ice wall that was in front of Olaf. The wolf growled and darted at the other brute before he had a chance to react, locking his jaws around the throat. Elsa's brute jumped slightly, giving the woman a chance. She focused her power and shot out ice spikes from the ground all around her in a circle, throwing the man against the wall with the force and impaling him. Elsa slowly got to her feet, her stomach still feeling bruised. She glanced around and ushered Olaf to come over to her. She hugged him tightly, and felt a tear drop, landing on his coat. He nuzzled his head into her, whining slightly.
"Oh Olaf, I thought you were going to die. I can't even imagine losing you." She sobbed. He pulled back and licked the tear that was running down her cheek, and whined quietly. She quickly wiped the remaining tears away and smiled lovingly at him. "Let's go get Anna, partner." She murmured and spun on her heel. He barked in agreement and ran ahead of her. She glanced once more at the bloody mess around her and sprinted after him towards where she had parked her car, eager to get to the hotel to grab her things.
"Anna I hope you are looking after yourself, you klutz." She said out loud, slightly breathless from the running. She slid to a stop at her car and quickly ushered Olaf in, then slid in after him. A gasp arose in her chest as she looked at her wolf. A single black line of fur ran right down the middle of his back, breaking the pure white of the rest of his fur. She ran a shaking hand down it, frowning. "Same as my hair." She murmured, her mind reeling. What the fuck is happening. My hair is going black, and so is Olaf's. She thought, as she turned the car on and screeched down the street, throwing on a pair of dark sunglasses and winding her tinted windows up. It doesn't matter. You have to protect Anna now. The thought made Elsa clench her teeth and she lowered her foot on the gas pedal, cranking her music loudly.
Anna clenched her steering wheel tightly, leaning forward to watch the road closely. She knew she was speeding, but the highway seemed fairly devoid of other drivers. Her heart pounded and her apprehension was building. Her teal eyes kept darting to her phone that sat on the passenger seat, silent, and then back to the road.
"Fucking hell Elsa. Come on, give me a call or even a message." She muttered, eyes darting back to her phone as it vibrated with a message. She quickly grabbed it, and used her knees to keep the car straight on the road. She opened the message frantically, barely watching the road, sighing in disappointment when she read the text that was from Rapunzel.
Anna, what the hell! Kristoff just called me saying you bailed on work to find Elsa? What in the world is going on with you?
She glanced up from the phone to check then road and then looked back down to type out her reply.
I'll tell you later okay, just trust me. This is -
A loud screeching noise caused Anna to look up and a scream rose from her throat as a car shot straight towards her. She dropped her phone and grabbed the steering wheel, slamming her foot on the brake, bracing herself for the impact.
Elsa sped down the highway, her hand tapping on the steering wheel nervously. Olaf sat up rigid next to her, his eyes watching the highway intently. Cars occasionally passed their car, and every time Elsa tensed, expecting more thugs to be after her. She subconsciously ran a hand down her braid, a frown on her face.
"Olaf, why is my hair going black?" She asked quietly. Olaf panted slightly and looked her, his eyes studying his master intently. She smiled and rubbed his head affectionately, then frowned as a thought swam across her mind. "Maybe my power is running out." She murmured more to herself then to him. "I mean, the trolls nor the Duke never said anything about this being permanent." An excited feeling burst in the womans chest and she grinned at Olaf, taking her eyes off the road. "Which means, I could be normal. If that's what'ss happening, then I'll be a normal human!" She practically shouted in glee, a smile lighting up her face. Olaf barked in agreement, his tail wagging, eyes alight. She could feel a giggle rising in her throat and turned back to road. Within seconds the glee she felt switched to terror as she realized she had drifted onto the wrong side of the road and was headed straight for a car. She threw one arm in front of Olaf to brace him and slammed on her brakes, the car instantly filling up with ice. A small scream erupted from Elsa's mouth and she spun her wheel as time slowed. She could see the driver of the other car shrieking, her eyes wide, her red braids flying around her face as she tried to spin the wheel of her car.
"Anna!" Elsa screamed as their cars collided, and the foul smell of burning rubber filled the air.
"Hans, look. I have no idea what the hell is going on, but I've had enough. I need some answers here, or I'm done helping you." Kristoff shouted, slamming his hands on the counter. Hans just smiled politely at the angry look at on the blonde mans face, and shrugged.
"It's no loss to me if you decided to pull out. Just means less money wasted for me." He answered snidely. Kristoff clenched his teeth and grabbed the front of Hans' sweater roughly, pulling him up to the bigger mans face.
"Tell me what the fuck is going on. Anna piss bolted out of here today, completely not herself. Elsa's been missing for over a week, aside from a couple of texts. Eric's been acting weird and there seems to be German soldiers everywhere." He snarled into the other mans face. Hans just grinned at him, and ripped Kristoff's hand off his sweater, smoothing it out and taking a quick step out of his reach.
"It really has nothing to do with you. Soon, all these people that you seem to care so deeply about will be out of your life. So if I was you, I would stop stressing so much over them." He snapped, his tone harsh and uncaring. Kristoff cracked his jaw in anger. "They don't even give you a second thought, have you not noticed that? You aren't needed." The blonde felt truth in the words but ignored the pain in his chest. "This is something much bigger then you could ever hope to imagine." Hans continued. "You're just a lowly ice cream worker, you couldn't hope to have any other impact. Those girls have a big part of the outcome of this civilization, and you just keep getting in the way." Kristoff stepped back slightly, his eyes widening as the mans words kept hitting him. "Even Eric has a role in all of this. You are just his distraction. Don't think for a second that you actually mean something to him. Every time you give me information on Elsa, it affects your relationship with him." Hans grinned evilly, running his hand through his hair. "Now, I know you are hiding information from me. If you want some answers, you had best tell me what it is." Kristoff glanced at the ground, his emotions swirling in his chest.
"I'm done with this bullshit." He spat in reply, and pulled Elsa's notebook out from under the counter where he had put it before Hans had arrived. He slammed it onto the counter and slid it over to Hans, who looked at it greedily, placing his hand on it. Kristoff glanced away in shame as Hans flicked through it, his eyes lighting up.
"Yes. This is what I've been looking for!" He shouted in glee, and smiled at Kristoff. "You have no idea what you've just started big guy. If I was you I would forget about them all. Especially Elsa and Anna. Neither will be around much longer." He said, and turned to leave, clutching the notebook under his arm. Kristoff watched him leave, his heart pounding.
"Oh shit what have I done." He murmured, his eyes widening as Adam and Pocahontas - the two strangers - walked out from behind the shop and fell into step with Hans. Pocahontas looked back at the blonde and sneered at him, putting her hand up to her mouth and blowing him a kiss before turning away to continue walking with the other two. Kristoff ran to the doors and shut and locked them, flipping the open sign to closed then ran out the back to grab his things. He stuck his phone between his shoulder and ear as he ran to his car, listening to the ringing.
"Come on Eric, please pick up." He murmured, fumbling with his keys. The dialling stopped and went to message bank. Growling he hung up and dialled the number again - getting the same result. He started his car, and sat for a moment trying to figure out what to do. "SHIT." He burst out suddenly, punching the steering wheel in frustration and anger. He reversed out of the carpark and sped out towards Eric's house.
"I'm going to get some answers. Fuck all this." He muttered. "Elsa, Anna, wherever you are, be safe."
Elsa's eyes fluttered open and she groaned. Her body felt like it had been hit by a truck, her vision blurry. She struggled to move her arms and legs, panic flaring in her chest when she realized she couldn't. She took in her surroundings, her eyes slowly focusing. She was crushed against the steering wheel, her legs trapped. She glanced beside her, a sick feeling pooling in her stomach when she noticed Olaf wasn't in the seat beside her. The wind-shield was smashed and she could see a smear of blood on the hood of her car, a white body lying on it, fur stained red. Tears burned her eyes and she struggled to free herself, feeling warm blood running down her face from a cut on her hairline.
"Fuck, fuck." She groaned out, her body aching. A face of terror flashed in her vision and she gasped, trying to look for the other car she had hit. It was flipped upside down on the side of the road, thick smoke billowing out of the bonnet that was crumpled.
"Oh god Anna. Oh my god." She cried out, freeing one of her arms. With pained gasps she managed to open her smashed door and collapsed out onto the road, wincing as her body hit it. She crawled on her hands and knees, fighting to stay conscious. "Anna. No, no please no." She cried out as the smoke billowed higher and sparks shot out of the engine. She gasped as the bonnet caught fire, spreading fast. As she crawled closer she could see that the drivers door had been completely torn off and there was blood all over the ground near the door. She raised her arm to try and douse the fire with ice, sobbing pathetically when she felt no power building. A high pitched scream erupted from her chest as the fuel line caught fire and the entire car lit up, the explosion covering her screams.
"ANNA!"
