Ok only one person even guessed to try and find the third person, But you got it wrong. Seriously when I asked you guys to guess I wanted you to guess. but I honestly wasn't expecting anyone to get it anyway. But here it is folks the chapter you have all been waiting for.

Anna shimmied into her dress a bright happy green one (similar to her coronation dress), it had some lighter shades and had small patches of black at the bottom most likely added to make the green pop out a little more, while the chest area had a fleur de leis. In all honest Anna had to say it worked out well, she had always enjoyed dresses (even though the last one she wore at an event like this was her sisters coronation, and that didn't turn out so well) Anna was really hoping that nothing would go wrong tonight. Well since it had started to snow in the past two weeks (since it was December after all) Anna was certain that she didn't have to worry about another eternal winter from Elsa (she could blame mother nature this time) besides, Elsa knew how to control her powers now, so what was the worst that could happen?

With a smile, Anna just giggled. She was hoping that any suitor that approached Elsa ended up frozen in a block of ice. Admitting, this was because she was hoping that Ranger and Elsa would still end up together. The two looked positively adorable, at least in Anna's humble opinion. Speaking of which, she had noticed something odd about the two as of late. The two would whisper to each other when they thought the others weren't looking. They would constantly steal glances at each other. Heck Anna even saw them laughing together! Ranger laughing was something that she never thought she would ever see, he seemed so serious all of the time. How Elsa even managed to get him to laugh was a mysterious in and of it self.

Anna would have cheered at the thought of Elsa dating, but she hadn't yet asked. Mainly because Ranger and Elsa never left each other's side. Anna could argue this was romantic, but Elsa could just deny it saying Ranger was doing his job; he was her guard after all.

Did he have to help Elsa into her room though? Seriously he walked with her to her room with her one night after dinner. Anna had been so confused. Elsa never let anyone do that. She liked her space, especially in her own room. That is unless Anna popped in every now and again. But a male, especially one as handsome as Ranger? Elsa would have killed Kristoff if he tried that. So what had changed? Surely it hadn't been anything to do with the day Elsa fell off the sleigh on the way to the trolls, did it? Well if that was the case, Anna had to wonder what exactly had happened that night. Well clearly Ranger had opened up enough to laugh around Elsa. That was just too much for Anna to process with thinking "what the heck?"

Anna was hoping that she could ask Elsa what was going on at the party (she would prefer before, but again Elsa and Ranger were inseparable), but Elsa and her were supposed to be together for most of the party, so maybe she would be able to ask then.

Of course Elsa might be quick to avoid, but Anna wanted to know the truth. Elsa and her were close again. Anna would protect her if needed be. If she and Ranger had become closer, Anna would support her. She liked Ranger as it was. Sure his attitude was rough, but he had a good heart.

So if he were dating her sister, like Anna suspected she would be happy. She knew that there would be some political issues Elsa would have to deal with if she fully intended to marry Ranger (the council certainly hadn't like the idea of Anna and Kristoff dating) because he wasn't a royal heir, but it would be fun to see Elsa shoot down any marriage proposals. She didn't want Elsa to marry some stuffy prince from another kingdom.

But for now Anna wasn't going to worry about that she still needed to get ready for the party.

Elsa was also slipping into a dress trying to look as sexy as possible while doing so, (she wasn't wearing provocative dress) since Ranger was watching her with a wide grin on his face. Her dress was quite similar to Anna's only it was closer to aqua and had white trimmings were as Anna had black. She hadn't worn this dress yet, never even shown it to anyone. It was a relatively new dress, one that had been purchased for her some months ago by Gerda as a gift.

Well now seemed to be the perfect time to wear it. Especially if Ranger was the first one to see her in it. She wanted to look good for him tonight. True she couldn't show any of her true feelings for him tonight because of the shock that all of those princes were coming to ask for her hand, only to find out that she was taken by her personal guard. Well she was going to have fun shooting down all those proposals.

The problem was that she had yet to reveal herself to the council. And with good reason. She couldn't tell them before the ball because all of those princes were coming. But after seeing her shoot down all of them, they might be compelled to listen to her a little more. They had to see that her husband, her king was her choice, not theirs. Ranger was the noblest man she knew. He accepted his failings he admitted to her that he had killed, but not in cold blood, not with the intent of doing so. But he had done it and he regretted it.

He was worth more to her than any prince that would come for her. Her heart belonged to Ranger and Ranger alone. He had saved her, opened up to her kissed her, and touched her there was no one else she wanted to share her life with. If nobody agreed with her, then she had no reason to care. If the council wanted her to marry, she would marry Ranger.

She turned to him giving him a seductive smile. He gave her a grin "you are looking positively radiant Elsa" he said. Elsa smiled walking up to him and giving him a quick peck on his lips "so do you my guard" she said in a low husky voice. Her breath tickled his skin. In all honesty, neither he nor Elsa had been intimate since the night in the cave. They both agreed that in the castle with many people to hear them could potentially be a very bad idea. She didn't want to go to breakfast one morning to find Anna complaining about noises she heard last night. Elsa wouldn't want to have to explain to Anna the miracle of life.

She would have to tell her eventually, she was starting to get suspicious about her relationship with Ranger. She was just happy it was still a secret.

There was suddenly a knock on the door, causing both of the parties to freeze. Elsa jumped back, trying desperately to hide her blush. Thankfully the door hadn't opened. She did not want to be caught in that position with Ranger. That would be too much to explain.

"Your majesty?" came Gerda's voice "the ball is due to start soon. You and princess Anna are needed down stairs"

Elsa cleared her throat trying to regain her composure "of course." She said in the most regal manner she could "I will be down momentarily "she said. The footsteps retreated, allowing Elsa and Ranger to breath a sigh of relief. Elsa looked at him "I'll see you down stairs." She whispered, before leaving the room, swaying her hips as she did so.

Ranger just chuckled "she's going to kill me" he laughed as he exited the room as well.

Anna walked outside her room, where to her surprise she found Kristoff waiting for her. He was dressed quite nicely in a black suit that Elsa had Kai make for him just for the occasion. He had a blue cravat and white shirt. He was looking somewhere between happy and unnerved. Anna giggled walking up to him, giving him a quick peck on his cheek. He humped as if surprised which he had been. "Anna he breathed taking in his girlfriends full appearance. Anna blushed "you look quite dashing yourself, my Reindeer King" she said. Kristoff grinned leading her downstairs and into the ballroom.

Everyone people had already arrived, not taking up so much of the rom so that it was full f, but still there were a lot of people. Anna was happy. This was hopefully going to be the first party that absolutely nothing went wrong.

This was the first party after the coronation. It didn't need to be the second party that went wrong. If that were the case, Anna would have though that parties would never be normal in Arendelle.

But as she walked into the room, she believed everything was going to be ok.

Caleb was standing with some of his best troops. They were assigned to guard the ballroom, both inside and out during the party. Nut in all honest, they really weren't expecting anything to happen. The most that could happen was an intoxicated partygoer who had a little too much to drink. It was dull work, but still everyone had to be orderly and have a good time.

Caleb smiled. After the ordeal with the Queen and weeks of training after that, it felt good to relax. True he wasn't really much of a dancer, but he tried his best when it counted. Not that he was going to dance. He was assigned to guard the room, not go crazy.

He would do his job well, as would Tyrone, who was in charge of security outside of the castle, should anything happen out there. He trusted that Tyrone would do his job well. Tyrone was a good friend as well as a good solider. Together the two would make sure nothing could go wrong tonight.

Tyrone stood at his post edgy. It was nearly time for Elias to be sprung from jail. One of his allies was posted at the cells, which was good, because he was the only one who could help Elias escape undetected. Most of the other guards were posted closer to the castle. When Elias and the others managed to reach the ball room, they would storm in and take the queen captive forcing her to marry Elias to avoid a full scale rebellion against the crown. Elias wanted Elsa for his wife and the mother f his children so they would have heirs to rule his kingdom. The queen wanted what was best for Arendelle and what was best for Arendelle was not war. By threatening the lives of everyone in that room, as well as the city, Elsa would no doubt agree to the conditions set for by Elias

Tyrone grinned. All was going according to plan. Jut a few more minutes and everything would be ready. Elias would take over and a new reign would begin for Arendelle with Elias as king and Tyrone as the captain of the guards. Anyone who got in their way would be killed or imprisoned. That was the way that was needed if Elias was to solidify his rule.

Elsa and Ranger were the last to arrive at the party, at least of the royal family and guests. Everyone gaped when they saw what Elsa was wearing, even Anna, (even though she was wearing the same thing). Elsa could vaguely hear the whispers from the crowed, which were openly admiring her beauty. Not that she cared. She knew that she was beautiful, she just didn't let it go all the way to her head. She knew that some people would just marry her for her beauty rather than for herself. Which again was why she was going to ignore anyone proposing to her. She wasn't going to marry if it wasn't for love. She would be a fool to do so otherwise. But for now she was here to enjoy the party, not listen to marriage proposals. She was forever going to hate her council for that, but she couldn't wait until she saw their faces, when she told them why she had refused every single marriage proposal that was going to end up coming her way.

She normally wasn't so vindictive, but in this case she was going to love saying no. Except if it was to her friends and family. Unless Anna asked the questions that Elsa couldn't answer in front of others.

Elsa made her way to the throne, that she had to stand by, while Ranger went to his post next to her. Anna, late as always, ran up to her post next to Elsa. When everyone turned to give his or her attention to the Queen she smiled. She cleared her throat and began speaking

"Welcome Citizens of Arendelle and friends. I want to thank all of you for attending Arendelles first winter ball. It is quite the honor to have each and every one of you here. I know some of you traveled long and far to get here, but rest assured, tonight will be a night to remember indeed. Please have yourselves a good time and enjoy the night."

With that said, the party began, as the band began to play quite the set of music. Anna of course went to find Kristoff and proceeded to dance with him during the first song,

Elsa smiled as she watched her sister dance. After everything that had happened, Anna deserved a chance at happiness, more than anyone here. Well except Ranger, who had suffered a far worse fate. She turned to look at him. He hadn't budged. He was standing a stoic as a statue barely even moving. If she hadn't known he was even there she would have been surprised. In fact what was surprising was that no one had even asked him to dance. He was single as anyone knew, but it appeared that they were to busy with the noble men that littered the room, as opposed to the guards that were watching them for any foul play.

In truth Elsa would be internally jealous, should Ranger be asked to dance, so she was glad about that, but right now she was hoping for him to ask her. She wanted her first dance to be with him. If nothing else that would be the perfect start to the perfect night.

Quietly she sidestepped closer to him, poking him in the ribs. As expected, he turned his head slightly, giving her a smirk "do you want to dance Elsa?" he asked mischievously. Elsa poked him again "yes you. I want to dance." Ranger extended his arm and Elsa took it, allowing him to take her to the center of the ballroom. As if on cue a slow dance started and Ranger pulled Elsa close staring at her straight in the eye.

Elsa felt her breath hitch. She was enjoying herself at the moment, but it was becoming increasingly harder to resist the urge to kiss him in front of these people. But she couldn't. it would raise far to many questions, questions that Elsa couldn't answer with causing an uproar. So instead she gave him a smiled and placed a hand on his chest, while taking his other hand.

Ranger chuckled "I warn you princess" he whispered, "I've never done this before."

Elsa's eyes widened. She certainly wasn't expecting that "why didn't you tell me?" she whispered harshly "I would have taught you!"

Ranger smiled " Gerda taught me. I just never actually danced before"

Elsa's eyes widened and she sought out Gerda in the crowed who was giving her a smile. Elsa decided she needed to pay Gerda extra for this.

The two began dancing, moving in tune to the music. Elsa was happy that she was doing this. It was a moment that couldn't be ruined.

They spun in circles until the very end in which Ranger twirled Elsa on the spot, resulting her pressing her back into him.

As the song came to a close, Elsa could feel her heart pounding. Dancing with Ranger was the most perfect thing.

Ranger held her close, holding her tightly "thank you Elsa."

Before Elsa could respond the door to the ballroom opened and Elias stormed in with all of his loyal forces. Everyone in the room gasped including Elsa. She never ordered Elias to be released just what was the meaning of this?

Elias opened his mouth and started yelling "Queen Elsa! My troops and I have surrounded this castle! Give up, there is no escaping from this."

Caleb, who was watching the entire thing stood forward, glaring at Elias "Elias, what is the meaning of this?"

Elias turned to Caleb "tell me cousin, how does it feel knowing that you have no allies amongst your guards. You were never meant to be a leader. They follow me!"

However one of the guards in the room screamed "no, we are loyal to Caleb! We follow him!"

Caleb smiled "no cousin, what you have is a pack of dogs, blindly following you for the promise of wealth and power.

Elias laughed, giving Caleb a cruel smirk "lets see what happens after tonight. Tyrone! Bring in the prisoners!"

Caleb stiffened. Tyrone?!

Tyrone dragged in two people blindfolded and bound into the room. He and another guard put them on their knees, before taking out daggers and pressing them against the prisoner's throat "Queen Elsa, you and your guard must show yourselves or I will kill these two."

Ranger and Elsa looked at each other. it was most likely a trap, but they couldn't just let them die. Together, they walked into Elias view.

He stared at the Queen "your majesty. You will make a fine bride indeed"

Elsa growled, "that's what this is about? I won't marry you Elias, you are nothing but a monster if you think I will be forced into marrying you like this!"

Elias gave her a twisted smile. "Oh no? Well then… Ranger?" he said to the young man "do you know what it is like to lose everything?"

Ranger frowned. The truth was that he did, but Elias didn't know that "no" he said emotionless Elias laughed "then it is time you learned. You took everything from me! I was to be her guard! I was to gain her favor and become king. But before I kill you… I will show you what it is to lose everything you cared about."

Tyrone and his enforcer pulled off the bags that were covering the prisoners heads revealing…

"Kayla! Erhard!" Ranger screamed. No!

Elias smiled. "Do it."

Tyrone and the other guard quickly slit their throats. Ranger watched in horror as blood gushed from their wounds the blood staining their outfits and pooling on the floor as the two choked on their own blood. They fell to the ground, dead.

Elsa gasped, covering her mouth, unable to stop herself from crying. She couldn't believe what she had just witnessed.

Ranger fell to his knees. No… No! They were dead and it was his entire fault.

Just like his master had died before…

Something within him snapped. He felt something dangerous, something powerful well up inside him, fueling his rage and pain. He snapped his head looking straight at the guard who had killed Kayla. His eyes flashed red and suddenly the guard suddenly burst into flames, incinerating until there was nothing but a pile of ash.

Did anybody see that coming? Well not to worry more on that will be discussed in later chapters.
