Elsa and Anna entered the guard House hurriedly, all the guards and soldiers present bowed in respect for the royalty.
Anna insisted that she accompany Elsa to find out where Guide was taken, and Elsa didn't even try to protest against it.
"Your majesty, your highness, to what do I owe this great honor of your presence."
Captain Amund said descending from the stairs that led to the meeting rooms.
Elsa smiled politely and Anna waved.
"Captain Amund I must speak with you in private please." Elsa said gesturing to the door that led to the library.
"But of course." He opened the door and gestured for them to enter.
When he locked the door and pulled out chairs for them Elsa refused she couldn't sit at a time like this.
"Guide is missing and we need your help to find her." Anna beat Elsa having a quicker mouth than her sister.
Captain Amund creased his eyebrows in confusion and tilted his head. Elsa knew that she would have to clarify.
"Guide is the girl who rescued me, and helped me find my way home from the North Forest, she's went missing for I don't know how long and I don't know who or where took her, or if she's lost, but I do know she went to market." As Elsa gave him the details anxiety began to sink in and her breathing increased. Anna grabbed her hand and Elsa squeezed.
"I believe I heard of this little savior, huh trying to steal my job." Amund said well naturedly.
"Yes well she's very important to me-to us and must be found." Elsa corrected herself forgetting that Anna, Kristoff and Olaf cared about Guide just as much as herself. She felt a tiny tinge of jealousy but shook it off then brought her focus on the important matter.
Amund nodded his head. "I can take a team and investigate in the market to begin with."
"I'm coming to and no I won't be in the way." Anna said.
Amund looked to Elsa who simply nodded her head no.
"Well let's get started." Amund clapped his hands.
Elsa and Anna followed Amund who sent men to knock on the doors of the store vendors of the market hoping find answers.
"Well she came to my stall asking for Shiny suns or little suns or something like that. Anyway she was asking for my gold coins, I appreciated the honesty and integrity so I gave her twelve coins then she ran to that alleyway." The butcher said pointing to an alley.
"Thank you." the soldier then told Amund the newly acquired information, he order some of his men to look around it.
Anna walked up to a house and knocked on the door, a man answered and his eyes widen at who was knocking on his door he gave a groggy bow from being asleep making Anna giggle.
"Have you seen a... Little, short person with blue and white hair short in the back curly in front and has the biggest, most cutest dimples, white wings, blue and white fluffy tail, and um short, mystery blue eyes as the queen likes to call it was probably wearing a shirt made of ice pants too...um and-" The man interrupted Anna's rambling with gentle laugh.
"You had me at blue and white hair, you mean the queen savior."
"Well yeah her name is Guide." Anna got hopeful.
"I gave her some food, then thanked her for saving our queen and she went on her way exploring the market a little skittish though mostly of people... Although I did see her sitting at the docks while I was packing up shop, a man approached her then sat down, they seemed to be talking of some sort. That's all I know. Is she missing or lost?"
Anna nodded sadly taking note of everything the man said.
"Well maybe I can help in the search, I got hounds, best tracking dogs I've ever seen." He kindly offered.
Anna shook her head no excitedly then to the man's surprise gave him a hug.
"Thank you, I'll make sure your rewarded for your efforts." then she ran off to tell Elsa and Amund.
Elsa was currently talking to a woman who was giving information.
"She fed my children, gave me gold and inspired me of an idea. I've been searching for a job but none have been opened so I used the gold she gave me and bought a cart and soaps and oils, asked the man at the tapping shrew if he and his family needed help with laundry and I got a job. I saw her walking from the docks and waved hello, then she fainted and two men came and put her in a black bag. Loaded her onto a horse and rode away with her, I was going to report it to the guards but the gates were shut for the night."
Elsa's heart dropped. "Do you know what direction they went in?"
The women nodded "They took her towards that old warehouse that is used for storage of the city."
"Thank you...?" Elsa dragged out.
"Hadda my queen."
"Thank you Hedda."
Elsa ran to find Anna and Amund. When she turned a corner she collided roughly into a soft mass causing her to fall on top of it.
"Oww..." Anna whined.
They made eye contact.
"We really have to stop making a habit of this." Anna said wincing.
Elsa chuckled and as she stood helped Anna up.
"Did you find out anything?"
"Did you find out anything?"
They said unison then shook their heads.
"Let's just go find Amund."
"Let's just go find Amund."
It happened again making Elsa put her hand over Anna's mouth.
"Stop that." she said then removed her hand.
When they found Amund he was talking to a woman who shook her head no then closed her door.
"I hope you had better luck then I have." He said.
"People have seen her but that's about it."
Anna gave out what she learned first then Elsa.
"Well I say I take a few men and move towards the warehouse."
"I'm coming as well." Elsa said making Amund open his mouth but he closed it thinking.
"Your majesty I need someone down here in town leading the investigation further."
"Anna can lead it, she's good at being nosey." Elsa said as if it was a fact.
"Excuse me, rude... Not that I'm agreeing with her because I'm not, but I do think that it would be a good idea." Anna said folding her arms over her chest.
Amund had his men prepare horses and Elsa created an ice horse and decided to put on something more fitting and easier to maneuver in. She put on a form fitting shirt and trousers with knee length boots.
Anna whistled at Elsa's tight clothing, then hugged her before she mounted.
"Be careful please."
Elsa hugged back. "You too."
"Hey I'm in town surrounded by guardsmen and soldiers what could happen."
"The opening of the new fjord, you were surrounded by guardsmen and soldiers and popped your collar bone."
"Okay that wasn't even my fault it was Olaf's, just bring Guide and yourself home in one piece."
Elsa kissed her freckled cheek then got on her mount.
Then rode off following after Amund and his team.
It was quite. It was dark.
The silence was making Guide panic. In the forest there was always noise.
Guide couldn't see and the air she was breathing was empty.
"We are going to kill you. Very slowly and painfully, you should have stayed with your mistress dog, should have listened to her." A dark voice said.
Guide's ears twitched, she had something circular over her mouth, and she had coverings over her eyes.
Guide began to create ice, but the voice interrupted.
"If you do that she dies." Guide stopped, he sounded like he was lying and Guide knew he was, there was no other person in the room, but rather be safe then sorry she stopped.
The voice sounded threatening but not sincere, they didn't mean what they were saying.
Guide knew she wasn't going to die. Until she felt cold metal press against her throat cutting slowly into it, then again she could be wrong.
Elsa and Amund finally arrived to the large dark warehouse. There were two black horses standing in the front.
Amund signaled his men to surround the building then dismounted along with Elsa.
He signaled to the Queen.
"Maybe taking the front door isn't the best idea."
Elsa nodded in agreement then looked up and saw an... opened window?
Whoever was holding Guide captive was either really stupid or wanted to be caught.
Or maybe they just didn't care and wanted to kill Guide.
That thought triggered Elsa to work quickly. She made stairs leading up to the roof, she and Amund climbed up and looked through the window.
When Elsa saw the man in black about to slice Guide's throat. She blasted the roof opened and jumped down, Amund followed after her.
They tumbled down onto a pile of snow. They quickly stood up and Elsa aimed her hands towards the man with the knife.
The soldiers entered at hearing the noise and a trigger happy scout shot at a second man coming from behind a crate. His Comrade smacked the cross bow out of his hands in frustration.
"Who are you and what do you want with her?" Elsa questioned, the man ran towards her flailing his arms ready to attack but slipped on ice she created beneath his feet.
Elsa approached and not having time for any foolery created an ice spike in hand and directed it towards him.
"Who are you and why did you take her?" She was careful not to mention Guide's name.
The man eyed the spike pointed at his neck, then abruptly sat up impaling himself through his throat and began coughing up blood that filled his mouth.
He slid off of the spike due to his weight and fell back to the ground, his blood darkened the ice he was laying on.
He rather die than talk?
Elsa dropped the spike and stepped over the kidnapper, leaving him to Amund, and ran over to the chair Guide was tied to and cut through the ropes with an ice knife.
When she removed the strange gag and blindfolds. She hugged Guide so tightly she heard a haggard gasp.
"Guide I thought I lost you, why would do this to me, I-I oh gods." Elsa started sobbing as the realization that if she arrived a second later Guide's throat would have been slit.
Guide returned the hug then began babbling. "Elsa I promise I'll never go against your word again, I promise. I'll listen. I'll obey you. I promise." Guide then began whining and licking at Elsa's neck, in her ear, and at her chin, Elsa felt a shock of arousal when she felt Guide's tongue brush against the corner of her mouth.
She groaned quietly and tilted her head giving Guide better access to her neck, when Guide began nipping she had stop her before she lost it and took Guide right there on the chair.
Amund cleared his throat, then handed Elsa a cloth to clean up the blood on Guide's neck from her cut, she noticed some of it got on her. They were so close that they even cut Guide's neck almost ending her life, Elsa felt so much dread and so relieved at the same time.
"Keep pressure on this okay?" Elsa ordered Guide putting the cloth to her neck.
Guide nodded and Elsa picked her up leading her outside to her horse. They rode in silence Elsa was holding Guide from behind because she felt very uncomfortable riding another animal even if it was made of ice.
"Oh my god are you okay? Did they hurt you? Are you in any pain? Did Elsa get em? Who were they?" Elsa left Guide to Anna, Gerda, Olaf, and Kai who smothered her in attention, questions, and affection, to speak with the captain when they arrived in the main foyer of the castle.
"Thank you for helping us find Guide I don't know what I would have did if I lost her." Elsa said, grateful to the captain and all the citizens who helped them.
The captain yawned then chuckled. "I suppose the best form of appreciation would be letting me get some sleep."
Elsa laughed, it was about four hours after midnight and everyone was tired.
"Yes you deserve it."
"I'll send you the filing of the incident in a couple of hours your majesty Good...morning." The captain left for the guard house.
Everyone then went to bed tired from the event, all except Elsa and Guide who were lounging in bed, Guide was laying on Elsa's chest in a light blue button up night shirt with a collar and shorts.
Elsa's fingers stroked across Guide's neck and the bandage. She took a deep breath.
(I can't believe we almost lost her.)
(*Neither can I.)
(This proves my point.)
(*What point?)
(Keeping Guide prisoner is kinda selfish and I would know... I'm selfish.)
(*We are not keeping her prisoner, if anything this proves my point. If she had just stayed put none of this would have happened.)
(Well there at least is a small silver lining out of all of this)
(*That we finally saved Guide's life in return of her saving ours.)
(I was going to say we've gained her total devotion, but that works too.)
Elsa smiled at the happy thoughts of having Guide's devotion.
Then she sat up, Guide followed suit and Elsa grabbed her head and peppered her face with kisses causing Guide to squeal with delight.
Elsa pushed Guide back onto the bed kissing her everywhere but her lips. When she stopped her and Guide stared at each other, Guide had a charming lopsided grin on her face forcing a fire to kindle in Elsa's groin.
"It's way past your bedtime little... Snowbug." Elsa tapped Guide's nose trying out the name.
Guide frowned. "But my name is Guide, not snowbug."
Elsa giggled. "I know it's a sweetheart name."
Guide's eyebrows lifted. "What's a sweetheart?"
"It's someone who has a special place in your heart and mind that can never be replaced." Elsa explained, putting a hand on her own chest.
Guide's eyes expanded, and copied her action. Then she put a hand on Elsa's chest but accidentally put her hand on Elsa's breast.
Guide paused then flexed her hand squeezing Elsa's breast fascinated by the soft flesh through Elsa's night gown.
"Oooh." Elsa moaned, Guide looked up stared at her.
"Then that means you're my sweetheart." Guide said laying her head down on the pillow.
Elsa smiled and laid down, putting her hand over Guide's that was still on her breast.
"And your mine little snowbug."
