Chapter Thirteen: Rough Night

Elsa walked around the mysterious beach wondering where she was. The sky was cloudy but it revealed the blue sky and the low bright sun rising to the sky. She guessed it was morning as she continued to walk around the beach till she spotted an object in the corner of her eye and slowly approached it. To her it seemed like a metal tower with a small cylinder sitting on top of it.

"What is that?" She asked herself till she heard something in the distance.

"Nine, eight, seven..." She heard and she looked everywhere for the source of the voice. She wondered why they were counting down and began shouting out.

"Hello! Who's there?" She yelled but the countdown still continued.

"Four, three, two, one." She heard till she heard a crackling noise behind her and quickly turned around. A large mass started to rise out of the water near her and she quickly backed away in fright. Her eyes were blinded when the tower lit up with a loud boom developing her and the strange mass in it's burning light.

Mathias awoke freezing in discomfort and noticed Elsa was wide awake shaking at his side. The fire long died out but he could see blue spikes around the room. He gently nudged her with his arm hoping to get her attention on him. She looked at him with her teary blue eyes and he knew those emotions all too well, fear and he wondered what it was that scared her like this. She seemed to shake out of her stupor and looked around the room and back at him sheepishly.

"S-Sorry, it was just a dream." She said as she flicked her wrist and the spikes slowly vanished and the room got warmer again. She gently laid her hand on his shoulder and looked into his amber eyes.

"How are you feeling?" She asked him as she scooted closer to him. She noticed he cooled down a lot and seemed better than earlier. Mathias wasn't paying attention as he caught a whiff of her scent and it surprised him. Her scent was sweet and yet had a cool feeling to it that eased his nerves and he tried to resist instincts that were clawing at the back of his mind.

"Not again!" He thought with a slight groan as he moved his head away trying to avoid her scent.

Elsa heard him groan and wondered what was bothering him as he moved his head away from her. She looked out the window and noticed it was still dark out and decided to head to her bed chambers before the staff started to spread rumors.

"Alright, i'll be heading to my chambers for some needed rest and you should too." She said as she got up and away from Mathias, who looked at her confused.

"I thought we were resting." He thought as he watched her retreating figure, her hips swaying as she opened the door and left leaving him to his own thoughts. He looked away from the door and sighed as he wondered as to why she left.

"Damn this human body and it's flaws." He thought in frustration as he pinched the bridge of his nose for a few seconds before getting up and leaving the room to his spot of comfort. He thought about the surge of power that overcame him earlier, he knew it was the energy from within his body and knew the negative effects it had on a human from experience. He didn't know if it would effect him the same way because of his immunity to it.

He soon arrived at his room and walked right on in since he broke the door earlier. The room was lit by the moonlight at the window and Mathias walked out to the balcony and looked out at the small body of water with the moon reflecting off it. This was the most peaceful moment he witnessed in along time and relaxed as he listened to his new surroundings. The cool breeze swept across his bare skin and his mind went back to the blond women with her cold relaxing touch that brought a small smile to his features. His moment was disturbed by the noise of faint crying from afar and this brought up his curiosity as he went back into his room and still listened to the crying. He quickly left the room and started to walk around the long hallways using his sense of hearing to find the source. He was surprised it lead to Alice's room but quickly recovered remembering two days after he killed Don, he went to see her and she told him to leave her alone and never come near her again. He heard her cry harder and this mysteriously pained him to no end and he decided enough was enough and walked right in with determination and worry. The room was dark but he could make out the shape of the little girl hunched over still crying and unaware of his presence. He slowly approached her bed trying not to startle her in anyway. His stealth was compromised by bumping in the night stand and Alice's head jerked up faster than he could blink or react.

"Damn!" He thought as he watched Alice look around the room.

"W-Who's there?" She asked frightened as she backed closer to the head board. Mathias didn't know what to do or say in this situation so he let out a low grumble before approaching her.

"M-Mathias, is that you?" She asked trying to keep herself calm. He wanted to reply to her badly but he didn't know what to say. He quickly decided to chance it and prepared to respond.

"Y-Yes." He said, his voice dry and hoarse from the lack of liquid as he slowly crawled on the bed and sat next to her. He went to comfort her but she jerked away from him.

"I thought i told you to stay away from me!" She hissed as she tried to back away from him only to fall off the bed with a yelp. He quietly watched as she slowly got back up and looked for the bed with difficulty till Mathias went over and gently lead her over to the bed.

"I didn't need your help." She said with a huff as she tried to look the other way but instead looked in his direction where he could have a good look at her. Her face was wet from her constant crying and her eyes still remained a mystery to him as to why they were colorless. He crooned softly as he gently nudged the side of her face wiping a loose tear streaming down her cheek. He knew what he had to say and it pained him to apologize to her because he never felt sorry for anyone before, and since he was at their level he had to swallow his pride and say it.

"W-Why didn't you kill him that day?" She asked as more tears flowed down her rosy cheeks. Many thoughts ran through Mathias's mind to find the answer himself but couldn't find any. His heart swelled with emotion as he watched the little girl cry before him and a sudden urge came to his mind and without thinking wrapped his arms around her with his strong arms trying his best to comfort her.

"I-I'm s-sorry." He whispered in her ear as he felt her lean into his embrace and cried into his chest. He knew this girl didn't have anyone for her, and it upseted him but realized what he was doing at the moment. He of all people was playing the role of a parent, a father no less and it frightened yet at the same time excited him to no end. He knew to some extent what it was like to grow up without family and be damned if he would let Alice experience the same pain and suffering he had in his life.

"I won't let anyone harm you again i promise." he vowed to himself as he still held the fragile girl in his arms. It wasn't long before she cried herself to sleep and he looked down at her peaceful facial features and he gently laid her down on the bed before leaving.

Elsa couldn't sleep because she kept recalling the dream she had in her head over and over. She decided to go for a night stroll hoping it would help clear her head a little. She didn't expect to see Mathias roaming the halls as she caught a glimpse of him turning right around a corner. She quietly followed him till he went into the patriot room which surprised her and wondered why he went there. She approached to to to see it opened slightly and peeked through it.

"Why am i spying on him? He's our guest what he does is his business." She thought to herself as she spotted Mathias looking at a patriot of her on the wall with curiosity. Elsa felt flattered that he was still curious of her and slightly smiled to herself. She saw Mathias sniff the air as if he smelled something then looked in her direction gesturing her to come in and join him.

"H-How did he know i was here?" She asked herself as she opened the door and walked in. He had a wicked smirk on his face as she approached him and she wondered what goes through that head of his sometimes. She stood beside him in front of her patriot and looked up into his glowing amber eyes that shined through the moonlight night.

He looked at her as if he had a question then pointed at the patriot on the wall. She gave a light smile as he slowly grabbed the crown from the top of her head and pointed at it.

"That's a crown, it's a symbol of my rule being queen of the people of Arendelle." She said as he looked at her dumbfounded then back to the peice of metal in his hands. He then gave it back to her and the moment between them became quiet as they stood in the room enjoying each other's company. Elsa still had that dream in her head and she decided it was best to tell someone. Anna was out of the question and Kristoff and Olaf wouldn't understand and then she looked at Mathias as he looked around the room in awe.

"Mathias." She said said quietly so only he could hear her. He turned around and met her eyes gaze with his amber eyes and crooned softly in response.

"C-Can i talk to you about something?" She asked him and he slightly nodded in response as she led them to a bench near the left wall. Mathias waited patiently as she thought about how to explain it to him in hopes he'd understand.

"Y-You know the dream i had earlier in the study?" She asked him and he slightly nodded and gestured her to continue.

"Well in my dream, i was at this weird place, the water was blue the sky was cloudy but revealed the morning sky and there were small islands everywhere i turned. I was on the sandy shore walking around til i found this metal tower with a cylinder on top of it and that's when i heard the voice doing some countdown." She said and Mathias looked at her confused but she continued anyway.

"I-I yelled but no one responded and that's when i heard this strange noise." Mathias perked up at this and urged her to continue.

"I turned a round and saw this massive thing rise out of the water, i didn't get a good look at it but it had these huge spikes and was about to come out fully when the cylinder flashed this burning bright light. The thing that confuses me the most is that it sounded like you." She finished and Mathias was frozen in place like he seen a ghost.

"M-Mathias are you alright?" She asked him worriedly as she reached out a comforting hand out to him.

Mathias knew what she was talking about, the area what they used to try to kill him and it confused him of how she witnessed that fateful day of his awakening. He was brought out of his thoughts when he felt a familiar cool hand rest on his arm. He looked at her worried eyes and sighed as he retraced his arm away from her and pointed to the many scars on his body. She was surprised by his small action and wondered why he did that.

"S-Someone tried to hurt you didn't they?" She asked and he looked away from her gaze and she wondered what happen to put him in such a state. She was surprised when he got up and started to walk out of the room.

"M-Mathias." She called out and he stopped in front of the door. He turned around and gave a weak smile to her before he left her alone in the patriot room.
