This chapter deals with a lot of anger and vengeance. its going to be a rush and place some characters in positions that won't be ideal for them or others later.
TPFR- Ana isn't pregnant, at least not yet. I'm not going to lie, Anna's kidnapping was a bit of a last minute change, so I may not have thought it all through. but in the story, Judas had mistaken Anna as Ranger's lover and the twins hadn't been seen outside of a few characters. by the time he found out about them, they were already on the way to Italy, so Judas and Marco decided to use Anna to give Ranger a child instead.
Jaffa- in that order... Maybe, and what would you do if someone you cared about was raped.
JFK- not a bad idea.
"This is your big plan?" Kristoff hissed to Ranger as he Anna and Ranger were leaning against the wall of one of the labyrinth like hallways. "You're going to assault the man who kidnapped you and leave him dangling by his feet while he is munched on by the wolves?" he asked incredulously. He didn't know why Ranger was being so violent in a situation where it would be more appropriate to try getting the heck out of the building, but it was like Ranger had a personal vendetta against this guy.
If only he knew. But Ranger had conveniently not told him anything about Marco as so he could finally kill the man without restraint or be stopped in the process of doing so. Anna hadn't said anything either. She was still upset about her rape an definitely didn't want to talk about it with Kristoff, let alone with Ranger in the same room. She hadn't even come close to thinking of forgiving him. The real question was though, when was she going to stop running from it?
Ranger didn't turn around, but his response to Kristoff left him wondering just how much Ranger hated Marco "that bastard doesn't deserve to exist." The phrase was so cold and full of malice it made Kristoff shiver even though it wasn't directed at him "Jesus…"
"Ha! He would like to think so!" Ranger replied humorlessly. The younger man peered over the edge of the wall. "The coast is clear. Lets go!" he told his friends, before they quickly began walking down the hall, thankfully not a guard in sight. Surprisingly though, this part of the prison seemed empty. Or the people that were in here were sleeping, since it was very late in the night, just as Kristoff had planned. But if Marco was still here, like he so often was, then Ranger could exact his revenge and never have to worry about Marco ever again. but first he had to find him… and get his cloths back.
If anyone told Marco that they thought it was weird that he liked to keep his sons armor and sword in his office like trophies, then he would reply "you are right" but it was still a trophy a reminder of his superiority over his son and the devil like powers that he possessed. And until he made Luka suffer until he begged for death he was going to keep the armor until he buried him with it. And even then Marco wouldn't be satisfied. Luka had children. The son of that Queen witch in Arendelle and if he had his way, the child growing in the red head. Assuming she was pregnant.
"Perhaps, I should check up on her," Marco mused as he took a sip of his wine. He hadn't seen Luka or the girl yet; they were too busy probably moping due to what he had done. But all in good time. Marco let out a very short laugh. He had all the time in the world to torture his son.
Or so he thought.
There was a sudden knock at his office door, followed by the sound of what sounded like a young unsure Italian accent "Sir! There has been ac breach in the high security wing! The prisoners they have escaped!"
Marco did a spit take, spraying his wine all over the table, before leaping out of his chair "LUUUUUUUUUKAAAAAAA!" he roared, running to the door. Only for it to open and he was met with the sight of a fist meeting his face. With a sicken crunch, Ranger broke several bones in Marco's face as the man met his fist. Marco's feet fell out from under him and he fell onto his back, out cold from the magnitude of the punch. Blood began to leak from his broken nose and pool around his face.
Ranger on the other hand wringed out his fist, smiling at the fact he had punched his father. In a malicious sort of way, he felt like some sort of vengeance had been served. It wasn't enough to satisfy the burning need for blood in his veins, but it was a start, all things considered. That being said, he wasn't going to leave his father lying on the floor like that.
But first, Ranger looked around the room, spotting his armor on a rack, shining in the room, while his sword was on the wall, hung like a trophy. Of all the things. Now Ranger could feel his blood boil at the though of him been seen like nothing, yet Marco needed to prove his superiority but showing off anything related to his sons failure as trophies. Well… it couldn't be helped.
Ranger walked up to his armor, and thankful of the fact that Anna and Kristoff were waiting outside, grabbed his armor and cloak, strapping them on, before taking his sword and placing it on his belt.
He then turned to Marcos unconscious body… what to do…. A wicked smile appeared on Rangers face.
Marco groaned as he began to regain consciousness. What had happened? The last thing he remembered was- "Wake up!" Marco heard a harsh familiar voice yell out, causing the old mans eyes to snap open, revealing Ranger's red eyes glaring at him. Beside him were the girl he kidnapped, an evil looking glare on her face and a blond haired mountain man that he was unfamiliar with. But nothing could compare to the look of vengeance on his son's face as the young man attempted to burn a hole in his face with his glare, forgetting that he could if he wanted to.
Marco attempted to lunged at Ranger, but found his arms were numb. Why were they numb? He looked around wildly, then noticed the situation that he was in. His arms were hanging above his head, connected to a chain that was tied around his arms, leaving Marco to dangle in the air. The color drained out of his face. This was the exact same thing he used to do with Luka before he tortured him.
He looked at Luka, his face set in stone, but his eyes showed he was afraid. Not that he would admit it.
"I need you to be focused!" Ranger snapped, raising his hand and heating it up to deliver a literally burning slap to the face. Marco screamed as the flames met his skin, likening the experience to holding your hand too close to a lit torch.
"are you focused yet?" Ranger snapped raising his hand again. Marco looked at Ranger, trying his best not to betray his stoic nature as the pain from the burn radiated from his cheek. If this was what he put Luka through (which he did) he was starting to regret ever conceiving the little demon. But he would give the boy the satisfaction of hearing him scream again. Once was quite enough.
"What do you want, you filth?" Marco spat at Ranger.
Ranger just smiled a twisted smile, before laughing coldly, he then turned to Anna and Kristoff, before saying "could you give us a few minutes?"
Kristoff and Anna nodded, leaving the room. Father and son were now alone, their roles reversed. Ranger stood watching his father dangled in front of him, awaiting torture. Ranger had waited so long for this day. The day where he could inflict as much pain on his father as he had been put through.
"Your death will not be quick…. Your death will not be painless." Ranger growled as he unsheathed a dagger he had taken from the armory and placed it at his fathers neck, digging into it slightly and drawing blood. "I'm going to put you through more pain, than you ever put me through…." He growled before plunging the dagger into his father's chest.
Anna and Kristoff left the building, knowing that there was no way to stop Ranger from torturing his father to death, not after everything that he had put him through. The only question was how long it was going to take. They didn't mind though; Kristoff knew a guy that cold get them back to Arendelle at the port. All he had to do was ask, assuming that Ranger would get back to hem by morning.
But that wasn't what he was concerned about. Anna had been unusually quiet ever since they had kissed, her arms wrapped around her stomach and her head drooped staring at the ground as they walked in no particular direction.
This was worrying Kristoff. Anna was never normally this quiet; he was certain that she would be bouncing with joy to get back to Arendelle. But she hadn't said much after leaving the cell she was trapped in. even worse, he could see her shoot subtle glares at Ranger something he wasn't sure Ranger was aware of or ignoring. Kristoff wanted to ask about it, but instead decided to try and assist Anna with how she was feeling instead "Anna… are you ok?" he asked gently laying a hand on Anna's shoulder.
Anna jumped upon feeling Kristoff's hand on top of her. She glanced up at him, before her mind flashbacked to her rape.
Ranger was lying on top of her doing his business while Anna whimpered beneath him, then crying out loudly in pain and forced pleasure. Ranger had broken her, taken away her virginity and had become he first experience ever. And it felt like a nightmare. She could feel her body betraying her with each passing moment… she had long stopped trying to push him off of her. Instead she was trying to imagine she was anywhere but here thinking of the one person she would rather be with.
"Kristoff…" she moaned, hoping praying, that he would rescue her from this nightmare.
Tears welled up in Anna's eyes and without warning leaped onto Kristoff wrapping her arms and legs around his torso before smashing her lips on his. She no longer cared any more. All she wanted was to feel loved. And she wanted Kristoff to love her. "Kristoff… please. Touch me. Love me." She whispered as she peppered her boyfriends face with kisses.
Kristoff eyes widened hearing what Anna was saying. Was she being serious? She was asking him to be her first? While he wasn't against the idea there was one little thing in is min stopping him. It was the platinum blond ice queen sister of hers that scared him more than anything. If she found out that he had touched Anna before they were married, he could say goodbye to Anna forever. He would really rather not-
Anna kissed him hard again, effectively silencing any attempt at trying to rationalize the situation. Instead he carried Anna the port and got onto to the boat that he had arrived on. The crew had left to go to a bar, last time he checked meaning the boat was empty, ensuring privacy for the two of them.
The sun was just creeping over the horizon, a deep bright red, lighting up the sky a rather light shade of pink and orange as it began to leak over the horizon. It seemed like the beginning of a new day
Ranger walked out of the building a jovial smile on his face as he held the blood soaked dagger in his hand. It was dripping red soaked in his father's blood. The sound his father made was like a ray of sunshine after years of needing to hide in the shadows.
He felt free for the first time in years, like nothing was wrong. No one would suspect his father was missing or that he and the guards were probably dead (he and Kristoff had thrown them in cells, with or without the inmates after knocking his father out and tying him up.) until they realized that their husbands were not coming home.
Ranger smiled. It was over. He could finally go home. To Elsa. To his family. Now if he could only explain to her what he had done to Anna. That was the only problem. Anna was barely speaking to him over the matter and Elsa was not going to forgive him lightly even if he was able to explain it to her that he wasn't under the full control of his actions. Anna certainly hadn't forgiven him for it. Not that he expected her to at all. it was going to take time for her to heal, physically and mentally. But even then, his relationship with her was never going o be the same carefree loving bond of friendship and love that it used to be. He could see it in her eyes, feel it in her stance. She was wary of him, watching him like hawk, almost ready to pounce on him or run away at the slightest provocation. She shook whenever he was close and she never addressed him or acknowledged him in the time it took to torture Marco. She didn't even look at him when he had asked her to leave the room, staring only at Kristoff, like he was the only one in the room and nobody else mattered.
So how was Elsa going to react to it? He wasn't sure and he wasn't looking forward to having that conversation, but it was better than waking up finding out Anna was pregnant with his child and having to explain to Elsa what had happened.
Her could feel the weight of the stone and vial in his pocket; he had ransacked his fathers office and found it, hoping that he could find out what it was and at the very least, provide evidence to Elsa that it wasn't all his fault, though he would take responsibility for his actions regardless.
Ranger sighed, before turning back to the building and stabbing the knife into the wooden door "goodbye…. Hell." He whispered turning away and all but running out of the village that served as his prison. His first stop was the docks. The next stop would be Arendelle.
Home.
Anna awoke, stark naked covered by a blanket as the sun streamed into her and Kristoffs room. She was lying on top of him, like he was a pillow. Last night had been passionate and wild… but Anna still felt empty and shallow. She had slept with Kristoff the man she truly loved, but she still felt Ranger… she shuddered as she clung onto Kristoff tightly, feeling tears streaming down her face as she relived her rape. Every moment, every second he had touched her. He had been rough with her. But Kristoff? He had been so gentle, and kind. How could he be punished for promising Elsa that he would love her each and every second and treated her as well as he possibly could, like the way he had last night?
Anna sighed as she rolled off of Kristoff and got off the bed, grabbing her cloths and slipping them on, before heading out of the room and above deck. The sun was starting to rise in the sky, so it was well past sunrise, but not yet far into the day. That was good. Except for the fact that Ranger was nowhere in sight and that meant tat she was still going to be stuck here until Ranger decided to return.
Luckily she wouldn't have to wait long. As she reached the side of the ship to scan for Rangers presence, she spotted a cloaked wearing figure in the distance running towards the ship at high speed. Yep, it was him alright. Anna frowned slightly and turned away. She had no interest in talking to him right now. Pity she was going to be stuck with him for the rest of their natural life. She wasn't sure how they could even make up, but for now, Anna wasn't even willing to try. With a huff, she turned and waked back down to her room so she could wake Kristoff.
Kristoff didn't know and Anna wanted to keep it that way. She would get through her problems herself and not ruin what she had with anybody, at least with what was left of her family. But if she knew Ranger, he wouldn't dare to talk to her about what had happened and even if he did, Anna would ignore him because there was no way in hell that she was going to bother acknowledging him in the matter. What had happened was the past. Besides what was the worst that could happen?
Subconsciously she rubbed her stomach. Who was she kidding? Ranger had been inside of her. She blanched at the thought. Kristoff had been inside of her too. Back when she had been raped, Anna knew that having Rangers baby was a distinct possibility, but now that Kristoff had been inside her too, then, she felt better knowing that if there was a chance she was pregnant, it could also be Kristoff's. She prayed that was the case because she didn't want to have anyone else's baby. Even if this baby was Ranger's, she would never allow him to be its father. Kristoff would be its father.
But how was Elsa going to react? Though Anna was angry, she knew that Ranger was going to have to deal with a lot worse from Elsa than he had with her. Sure Ranger didn't have to tell her, but Anna knew Ranger better than that; he was always honest with Elsa.
It was either that, or Anna would have to tell Elsa herself. Neither option had a result Anna was looking forward to.
Anna is not happy, and she just put herself in an even worse position should she become pregnant. but that is not the worst of it. Oh no. There is still a certain Snow Queen to deal with.
