Chp 20:

Elsa threw the harbourmaster a bag full of gold coins and ran out onto the shore. Dawn was breaking and many of the ordinary citizens were getting up. Elsa knew it would be suicide to take on the castle alone so she went to Jones' house hoping to get help.

When Jones wife opened the door her eyes widened in recognition. Elsa quickly hushed her before she said anything and said.

"Where's Jones I need his help?" The woman's eyes watered as she grabbed Elsa and brought her inside. "Jones is dead." Elsa gasped.

"I'm so sorry." The woman shook her head. "We can't do anything for him now. Your majesty there is a group in the town waiting for your return. They want to fight back." Elsa placed her hand on her chin in concentration. "How many?"

The woman shrugged. "Fifty at least." Elsa was shocked that her subjects liked her enough to fight for her.

"So what do you think I should do?" The woman smiled. "Make it known that you're back. Go into the centre of town and call out to the people. They'll come." Elsa still had one worry. "What about Anna? Where is she?" The woman shrugged.

"She's being held somewhere in the castle. You'd need the peoples help to get to her." Elsa nodded and stood up.

"Then I guess it's time to announce my return."

30 minutes later…

Elsa kept her hood up as she entered the town centre. Very few people paid her any attention. A guard however walked up to her. "Where are your papers?"

Elsa didn't reveal her face. "I don't believe that is nessary."

"The King of Arendell believes they are necessary of everyone." Elsa faked confusion. "King? I have not married yet so there is no King."

The guard gasped as Elsa pulled back her hood revealing her face. "So where do your loyalties lie? With the Prince of the southern Isles? Or with me, Queen Elsa of Arendell?" She shouted and used her powers to cause massive spikes of ice to shoot out of the ground letting people who hadn't heard know who she was.

There was a moment when everyone was silent then someone shouted. "Long live the Queen!" Pretty soon a crowd behind Elsa had gathered all of them chanting. "Long live the Queen!" The guards dropped to their knees in a bow. Elsa gestured for them to rise and began walking towards the castle.

The occasional Silver-fang they met quickly ran away. The gates of the castle closed in front of them as they approached. Elsa turned to the crowd. Taking a deep breath she summoned her most commanding voice.

"Today we take back our Kingdom!"

The crowd roared in approval as Elsa turned summonded her powes and sent a massive blast of ice through the gates. The wood splintered and the metal in the portcullis bent as the gate was blasted off its hinges.

At the same time…

Zoran watched as the crowd approached the gates from a window. He also watched the silver fangs line up and draw bows and arrows ready to face their attackers. Zoran waited for the group to be fully formed and for Elsa to blast through the gate.

As the crowd rushed in Zoran sent a blast of darkness at the silver fang ranks from behind. The darkness exploded when it impacted with the ground and sent the silver fangs into complete disarray.

In the confusion the crowd attacked the knights. Marshmallow took that as his signal, broke his chains and roared. Elsa looked up to where the blast had come from. When she found Zoran she stared at him in shock. Zoran immediately turned away from her and raced down the hall.

Elsa charged into the castle with two goals in mind. Find Anna and find Zoran. She quickly found Anna. She burst into the room and found Anna tending to Kristoff who was unconscious on the bed.

"Elsa!" Anna cried as she hugged her sister. "What happened?" Elsa asked. "They attacked at night and took over. Zoran saved us both." Elsa then asked.

"Did Zoran say what he was doing?" Anna shook her head. "No, but he was acting really weird. Like he was very sad and quiet as if he was on his death bed."

"I need to find him, stay here." Anna nodded seeing by her sister's expression that this was no time to argue. Elsa ran out of the room praying Zoran wasn't going to do anything foolish.

Zoran raced through the corridors of Arendell castle until he eventually turned a corner and found himself face to face with Julian. Zoran made no more to draw his weapon and neither did Julian.

The two men just stared at each other. Zoran took off his helmet and stepped towards Julian.

"We both know that only one of us will live to see tomorrow." Julian nodded. "Yes, we do."

Zoran chuckled. "I spent ten years trying to find my sister and now she's going to be taken from me, forever." He then drew his sword.

"If I killed you she would never forgive me and I would much prefer if she had a husband who loved her, so..."

Julian was shocked when he heard the clang of Zoran's sword falling to the floor. Zoran looked at Julian grimly.

"End it."

Julian was uncertain as to what to do. Zoran continued. "I won't ask you to forgive what I did because…" He paused. "I can't forgive myself."

Julian felt his parents' faces flash in his mind. The pain they were in as they left this earth. It drew fresh rage into him.

"Zoran!" Someone screamed.

Zoran immediately spun around and shot black flames into the ground blocking Elsa's path. Elsa stopped and shot ice at the flames trying to extinguish them but they were too large. Zoran turned back to Julian. "What are you waiting for?!" He shouted. "Just end it!"

Elsa realised what was happening. Tears erupted from her eyes as she screamed. "No! Zoran don't do this!" Julian looked at Elsa. The tears, the shattered look was unbearable to look at. He looked back at Zoran. His face remained straight but the pain was clearly shown in his eyes. This was tearing him apart.

Julian tried to remember his parents. He tried to strengthen his conviction. But he couldn't, no matter how hard he tried the burning rage wouldn't return. Elsa screamed again.

"Zoran, I love you! Please don't do this!" Zoran's eyes widened in shock.

He turned and finally spoke to her. His voice was quiet and shaky. "I love you too, with all my heart. But this needs to happen. Lucia deserves her husband. She deserves a family. All I do is tear families apart."

Julian's eyes widened. When Zoran turned back Julian didn't see a monster anymore. In Zoran's red eyes, Julian saw a brave man who was willing to do anything for his family. Zoran closed his eyes in anticipation.

Clang!

Julian's spear hit the ground was a haunting noise. Zoran nervously opened one eye. Then when he saw Julian's spear on the ground his mouth fell open.

Julian spoke. "Lucia deserves both her brother and her husband." Zoran drew a breath he didn't know he was holding. Julian walked forward.

"I can't forgive you, but I don't have to kill you." Zoran smiled as he allowed his wall of fire to fall and he turned as Elsa walked up to him. She looked calm, dangerously calm. "So you planned to get me back my kingdom, save Anna and get yourself killed."

Zoran shrugged. "Well anything sounds like a bad idea when you put it like that." Elsa's eyes narrowed as she slapped him. The calm was gone replaced by fury. She continued hitting him as she shouted. "You stupid, brainless, uncaring, idiotic oaf…" The rest of her words were cut off when Zoran kissed her. When they broke apart Elsa's rage was gone and was replaced with relief. Zoran smiled. "And you said you loved this stupid, brainless, uncaring, idiotic oaf." Elsa shook her head.

"I did. But I'm going to need more than one kiss to get over what you just did." Zoran raised an eyebrow.

"Your wish is my command your majesty." And he kissed her again.
