Author's Note: I'm sorry this chapter was up a little later.

A House Divided

"Calm down, Elsa." Kristoff instructed.

Both Elsa and Kristoff stood outside of the chapel which was located inside of the castle courtyard. The sun was shining radiant light all across the city as if it knew that the day was going to be a grand one. Elsa wore a beautiful white wedding dress, similar to the ice dress she wore when she lived in her ice palace. Kristoff was wearing a fancy and sophisticated suit, something very rare for Kristoff to wear. He hated wearing fancy clothes. They always felt uncomfortable for him and he couldn't work in them without getting them dirty, which Anna always hated.

The doors were closed in front of them. On the inside would be Elsa's future husband and her sister, along with countless other spectators who couldn't wait to witness the grand, once in a lifetime event. Elsa had not seen Kai at all that day as planned. They didn't want to create bad luck like that. In a minute or two, Elsa would walk into the chapel, holding onto Kristoff's arm. Since her father wasn't there. she felt that Kristoff was the one best suited for the task. Although he didn't think it was a good idea, both Elsa and Anna insisted. It didn't take long for him to accept. He couldn't let them down no matter the circumstances.

Making a half circle around the two were countless other people who weren't lucky enough to get a seat inside the chapel. They all had faces filled with anticipation and excitement. The Queen was finally getting married and would share her power with another. Not only was this a big day for Elsa and her family, it was also a big day for Arendelle and kingdoms throughout. Now, other kingdoms wouldn't have to deal with just Elsa.

The wedding was planned so that Elsa and Kristoff would walk in in a certain time. That way, they would have to spend less time waiting for everything to be perfect and get it down quickly so that the festivities may commence and everyone would dance the night away. It was only a matter of seconds before they would walk in proudly. Elsa straightened her silver tiara, and Kristoff made sure no part of his clothes were wrinkled. He wouldn't want to look messy in front of all of those people.

Kristoff noticed how heavy Elsa's breathing was.

"You're going to do fine... probably." Kristoff said.

"Oh, thanks." Elsa said. "That makes me feel so much better."

"Try not to mess up." Kristoff said. "Don't accidentally freeze the chapel or turn some people into solid ice."

"Don't give me any ideas." Elsa said, trying to block Kristoff's words out of her head.

"There's no one in there to be nervous in front of." Kristoff assured her. "Kai doesn't have a choice accept you as you are, Anna will accept you no matter what, Olaf doesn't know any better, Lena can't understand much beyond potty time, and Sven's a reindeer. It won't matter to us if you mess up in there." Then, Kristoff remembered that the chapel would be surrounded and filled by people who he had probably never met before in his entire life in Arendelle. "Of course," Kristoff continued, "there are the hundreds of random citizens who may call for your beheading if something goes wrong, but besides that, there's no one to worry about."

"You always know exactly what to say." Elsa said. She meant it as a joke, but the tone in her voice contradicted the joke.

"Motivational speaking was my second choice for a career." Kristoff said, smugly.

"Funny." Elsa said.

She refocused her attention from Kristoff to the closed doors of the chapel. In any second, the bell would ring because the clock would reach twelve o'clock, and the doors would be open for Kristoff to walk Elsa down the aisle. Elsa just hoped that nothing would blow up in the coming seconds. Stuff blowing up was a normal occurrence when being around Kai. She remembered the sequence of events in which they found this pattern. First it was the fishing business near the docks, then the school, then the bank (while trying to stop some robbers), and he almost blew up an orphanage. Kai was lucky Elsa was giving him free passes all that time.

"Oh," Kristoff said, "I almost forgot!"

Elsa turned toward Kristoff with her eyebrow raised. He pulled out a rose from his front pocket. Surprisingly, the rose was not at all ruined or bent in strange angles. Kristoff must've made guarding this rose a priority. Elsa wondered why he even had the rose out, then she remembered that she was missing something in her hands. She had no bouquet of flowers.

"Here." Kristoff said. He handed her the rose which she held onto with the tip of her index finger and thumb from both hands. "It's not necessarily a bouquet," Kristoff continued, "but it'll be a good replacement."

"Yes." Elsa said. "One flower is good enough to replace dozens."

"Well, if you don't want it-"

"I was kidding." Elsa said. "It's not much, but thank you."

"You're welcome." Kristoff said.

Elsa realized how strange the words sounded, coming out of her mouth to Kristoff. She had just realized how little times she had ever thanked Kristoff for anything. Kristoff had been through so much with and for Anna, and Anna did the same amount of work for Elsa. Without Kristoff, none of this would've been possible. Elsa had to show at least a bit of gratitude and respect for her brother in-law.

"I never got to thank you." Elsa said.

"For what?" Kristoff asked.

"For everything you had done for my sister." Elsa said. "You risked your own life to save hers countless times. More times than I have at least."

"You don't have to thank me for anything." Kristoff rebutted. "You gave me a home, food, a job, and most of all, you gave me your blessing to marry her. I'd say we're even."

"So you're saying my sister is worth a room in a castle, fancy food, and the ability to officially mine ice for a kingdom?" Elsa teased.

Kristoff had no idea how to answer the question. If he said yes, he might be offending both Elsa and Anna, but if he said no, then he would have to elaborate on exactly why and he didn't have time to think.

Kristoff just stood there staring at Elsa with a blank face, unsure how to answer.

"It was a joke and a rhetorical question." Elsa said. This is why we don't hang out, she thought to herself. Kristoff, being raised by trolls and all, had the social abilities of a monkey.

Then, the bells began to ring from atop the chapel. Elsa's heart almost Frozen which was pretty ironic. She took one last deep breath as Kristoff held out his arm for her to hook around. She gladly obliged and hooker her arm around his as well. Kristoff could feel Elsa's shakiness. He gestured with his free hand that it was going to be okay and everything was going to be great.

The doors were to open from the inside by some guards when the bell rang, but no such thing happened. Kristoff assumed that those guards weren't fully informed and initiated on their duty, so he just walked Elsa up to the doors and opened the one on the left hand side. Kristoff pushed the door open and hurried himself and Elsa inside.

Kristoff and Elsa turned their heads to both the right and left. Sure enough, one guard was standing next to the side of each door. These guards were the ones who were supposed to open the doors, but they obviously failed in their duties. But, the look on their faces weren't stern like they normally should be. Instead, they had slightly confused looks as if they didn't know what was going on or what was happening.

Elsa scanned the room. All of the wedding guests that filled the chair had their gazes set on Elsa. Some had raised eyebrows as if Elsa's presence was a mistake. Some had open mouths and were holding their cupped hand over it as if they had just witnessed something spectacular or dangerous or if they knew something was wrong. On the alter stood the bishop clad in velvet red robes. To his left was Anna who was wearing an identical dress to the one she wore during Elsa's coronation. To his far right were Sven and Olaf who was holding the rings on a pillow.

Everything seemed to be in place except for one thing. Kai was no where to be found. He was suppose to be standing near the bishop, but he wasn't.

Elsa dropped her white rose in shock. How could Kai miss his own wedding? He was absent for many things, but there was no way he would be absent for something as important as his own wedding.

"Elsa..." Kristoff said.

"Where is he?" Elsa asked Anna from the opposite end of the chapel.

"We thought he'd be here by now." Anna answered. "I haven't seen him all day."

There was only one logical explanation as to why Kai just disappeared, Elsa thought. He didn't want to handle the stress of being a king consort or he didn't want to suffer the limitations of being a married man.

With that in mind, Elsa turned and walked out of the chapel with tears in her eyes.

Anna was frustrated. Never before has Anna been as frustrated as she was at that moment. She couldn't believe what Kai had done to Elsa. She believed that Kai was a man of conviction who tried to see everything he does through, but ditching the wedding earlier that day gave Anna a knew look on how she saw Kai. She wasn't sure what they were going to do with Kai anymore. The relationship between him and Elsa was now shattered completely. There would almost be no way for him to recover from his mistake.

Elsa ran straight up to her room right after she found out Kai wasn't coming. Elsa not only locked the door. When Anna pressed her hands against it and knocked a few times, she could feel that it was cold as ice. Elsa had completely froze the door so that there would be no one able to get to her. Anna could hear Elsa's sobs from the other side. She did her best to talk Elsa into coming out and to discuss all of this but to no avail. Elsa wanted to be alone and she wanted no one to bother her. Anna had trouble making peace to this idea as the two grew up, and she was having trouble doing it again because Elsa never usually did this these days.

It was the afternoon when Anna finally decided to just give up. By that time, all of the party decorations were cleaned and put away and the citizens continued with their daily lives, unsatisfied by what had happened. It was going to take a while for everyone to recover. This was supposed to be a big day in the country, but the hype for it just crumbled down like a brick wall.

Anna wanted so badly to just find Kai and chew him out on what he has done to her sister and her family. Anna searched and searched but couldn't find Kai at all. All of his things were still inside his room so it looked like he didn't pack for anything. Anna assumed that he had to be back and face the rest of them at one point, and when he did return, Anna was sure to be the first one to talk to him. To do that, Anna waited inside the courtyard along with Kristoff. She was counting the ways she could completely destroy and crush Kai's body and soul while Kristoff lectured her about something she wasn't listening to. Anna sat on the edge of the stone fountain while Kristoff paced back and forth in front of her with his arms crossed.

Olaf was somewhere inside the castle, possibly taking care of Lena or trying to convince Elsa to come out. Sven was no doubt resting in either Kristoff and Anna's room or the stables. He was upset that he couldn't give the rings to their rightful owners.

"Anna," Kristoff asked, "are you even listening?"

"No." Anna answered truthfully.

"Of course not." Kristoff muttered to himself. Why would he expect otherwise? He had been married to Anna for about three years, and he knew almost everything about her and the way she handled things. He asked himself why he even started to lecture Anna when she had the attention span of a child.

"Sorry, Kristoff." Anna apologized. "I was just thinking about the immense pain and suffering I'll bring down upon Kai when he shows his face."

"You really think you can hurt him?" Kristoff asked. "I mean, he's a fighter."

"He won't hit back." Anna assured herself. "He would never dare hurt us physically. But, it's a different thing if I hit him."

"Do you think that's fair?" Kristoff asked.

"Of course not." Anna answered. She didn't care if it was fair or not. What Kai did to Elsa was unforgivable. Was it fair for Kai to leave Elsa alone during their wedding and not giving a valid or any reason at all as to why he was absent? Anna loved Elsa more than she loved Kai and that was a given. If she ever had to choose sides between the two and there being no other alternative, she would choose Elsa without hesitation. It was only natural, though. Anna knew Elsa her whole life and the day will never come when she would abandon her sister.

"What do you think?" Anna asked Kristoff. Anna spent so much time focusing on what she had in mind that she never once give into consideration what others were thinking of the whole situation. Elsa's thoughts were pretty obvious, though. Anna could tell because of the sounds of crying from the inside of her room.

"What do you mean by that?" Kristoff asked, requiring more elaboration.

"I mean what're we going to do with Kai?" Anna asked.

"Well," Kristoff said, "after I'm done punching him in the stomach, I guess we'll see how things work out. He is the head of Arendelle's guards after all. I'm pretty sure we'll never find someone out there who can do his job just as well as he does it."

"It will be awkward, though." Anna added. "Working with him, I mean."

"Yeah." Kristoff agreed.

Kristoff couldn't help but think about how much bad luck Kai was to them. Kai ruined Anna and Kristoff's first wedding by crashing into it... literally! He then ruined his own wedding by simply not showing his face. Things were never simple around Kai, nor did things ever go right. It was a miracle how Anna and Kristoff's second wedding went smoothly and as planned despite the fact that Kai was present. But, even that event wasn't enough to overlook the fact that Kai was always raising a large flag that said "Hey, bad guys, come and get us!" They should have known something bad like this would happen. It was almost inevitable.

Earlier that week, Elsa promised the castle guards the day off since she thought she was going to be in a good mood and she was quite generous as well. The castle was pretty much vacant except for the royal family and a few servants. Many had already left for home as there was nothing left in the castle for them to clean. The castle felt so empty as it had many years before. Anna hated it whenever it was like this. It reminded her too much of those lonely childhood years.

Anna felt Kristoff touch her shoulder and she focused on her husband. He pointed toward the gates that led to the stone bridge which were currently open. The silhouette of a man was made clear. Anna couldn't clearly make out his features completely, but a few more steps would allow Anna to get a better look on the man. Anna could see that he was wearing clothes very similar to what Kai usually wore. He wore virtually the same navy blue hooded top, but it looked much darker than what Kai wore. It almost looked black.

Anna's eyes widened when she saw that it was Kai. But, she had a strange feeling that something about Kai had changed. Not only did his physical appearance change, but the way he walked and carried himself looked more rough and hardened. Angry almost. He looked pretty much the same except for the fact that his eyes were unmistakably green. It didn't look forest green, but more of a sickish, evil green. He still had the same weapons strapped to his waist. Anna couldn't decided whether that was a good or bad thing.

There were a few more unique features added to Kai. As he got closer, the mark of a large scar was under his left eye and onto the left size of his nose. Something changed. Something big.

Anna stood up as Kai entered the courtyard. He darted his head towards her and glared. Anna took a step forward, but Kristoff grabbed her arm, holding her back.

"Somethings wrong." Kristoff said.

Anna shook Kristoff's arm off, feeling his sense of worry and dread, but she was certain she had to confront Kai. She walked closer to Kai, returning him the glare. As she walked, she crossed her arms as a symbol of her serious tone.

"So, you think you can just leave Elsa alone and just walk in?" Anna asked, angrily.

Kai remained mute and continued to walk with haste towards Anna. She thought this was strange. He wasn't one to ignore a question, even if he was one to ignore a wedding.

"Do you have any idea how much you hurt her?" Anna asked.

"Where is the Queen?!" Kai demanded.

Anna took a step back in surprise. She can't remember if Kai ever raised his voice at her. And his question was so completely strange and out of nowhere. Plus, he usually knew how to find Elsa. What had changed? Anna intended to find out. After she found out what was wrong with Kai, then she promised herself that she would kick him into tomorrow.

"Anna..." Kristoff warned. "I'd back away if I were you."

Naturally, Anna ignored his request. She did that to people a lot. She didn't like it when people told her what to do. She wasn't good at following orders. She wasn't good at doing things in ways that weren't her own. She made it that far in life using that strategy, and she was planning on doing it for the rest of her life.

Kai was about five feet away from Anna, now.

"Listen, mister." Anna said. "You-"

Anna immediately stopped talking when Kai grabbed her throat with his right hand. Anna struggled to breath just as much as she struggled to understand why Kai was doing this to her. He would never dare hurt them under any circumstances. What had happened to him? What had driven him to do this? Anna made choking sounds as he tightened his grip around her neck. He then lifted her up in the air, off of her feet. She kicked as her feet were dangling above the ground. She tried to attack Kai, but she couldn't find the strength to. Her face became blue quickly.

"Do not think I won't kill you, girl." Kai threatened. "It would be my pleasure."

To be continued in the next chapter...

Author's Note: Again, I apologize that this chapter was up extremely late. It has been about a week since the last one came out. I blame that on Thanksgiving Break. I spent a lot of that time doing other things besides writing. I sort of forgot to write when I was given the chance to. Video games were a big contribution to forgetting. I also did get a lot of cool stuff during Black Friday, so staying up all Thursday night and Friday morning was worth it.

About a week or two ago, I went to see Big Hero 6 in theaters, and I personally enjoyed it more than Frozen. It was that great of a movie, so if you guys haven't seen it yet, I would strongly recommend going to see it at your earliest convenience. I also saw The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 as well. I did not enjoy the book as it was so boring, and the movie followed the book really well so I was pretty much trying my best to keep myself awake during the entire movie.

I did buy Assassin's Creed: Rogue this Black Friday, so when I finish playing the game, I'll be set for a prequel fic if I choose to do it. Also, if I did choose to do it, the title will either be Frozen: Phoenix Fall or Rise of the Rogue.

I have finished the main story for Assassin's Creed: Unity, and I've gotten pretty far in the game as far as side content goes. A guest requested I share my opinions on the game, and I promised a review earlier, so here's my review of Assassin's Creed: Unity. Most of you probably won't care or bother to read, but please do so if you care.

QOTD: How long do you think Kai will keep his antagonistic nature? (I know how long, but do you?)

Assassin's Creed Unity Unofficial Review

Overwhelming. That's one word which I can describe the game by. The game has so much things to do and so much to offer. Way worth the 60 dollars paid for it. But, I found myself doing the majority of the side missions after I beat the game. Like always, you can synchronize view points around the map and by doing so, the content for each region the viewpoint is in is unlocked. I ran around the map the first few hours of the game doing this. However, all of the missions have a difficulty level which encourage you to wait until you're better equipped for it. I found that a majority of the side missions were like this. All I wanted to do was finish the side missions right off the bat, but the game discouraged that.

The map of revolutionary Paris was beautiful and so dynamic. The setting was amazing. But, I don't recall being involved in many historic events like you were in Assassin's Creed III. The protagonist of the story is Arno Victor Dorian, his outfit being the basis of Kai's outfit. This is by far my favorite if not my second favorite Assassin's Creed protagonist. But, he was not strong enough a character to carry the story. The plot of the game was downright bad. It was unfocused and lacked any form of epic scope. It didn't at any times make me feel invested in the story. Also, the main story was very short as well! That was a big downer. The non-linear assassination missions were great though. I can execute people when and how I want them to.

The combat in the game is good and simple, but it was a large downgrade from the previous games. You can no longer chain any kills like you were able to before. This took away the feel of you being a deadly assassin. But, the new climbing system makes up for the combat.

Mission variety is great though. They have missions about solving murders, helping random citizens of France and figures of the revolution, and puzzle solving. These missions alone killed so many hours of my time. The gear system of the game was very good as it did feel balanced. More expensive gear was obviously more powerful. And, you get to choose what kind of assassin you want to play as such as a stealth, ranged, melee, or health assassin. Every piece of gear contributes to one of these factors and none of them were a complete balance of all four.

Final Verdict: 8/10

Pros:

Great graphics

Awesome protagonist

Easy new climb system

Great, dynamic world

Loads to do in game

Cons:

Lame and short story

Combat feels downgraded

Not enough character development

Thanks for taking your time and reading this. Ciao.
