Normal POV:
The air is thick and stale, with only a small window providing light and air in the dark dust jail.
Kai and Agnarr had lifted Edward onto the only bed like structure in the cell. His breaths were shallow and short. He had yet to regain consciousness since he was brought down.
Agnarr had taken a seat against the wall, his one leg propped up supporting his arm with his head rested against the wall. Kai was standing over Edward trying to make the man as comfortable as possible.
"He's breathing has improved. His head wound is still bleeding and his nose seems to be broken." Kai said as he examined the injured man. "Ribs seem to be intact but are definitely badly bruised. Other than that he seems to be fine."
"Fine?" Agnarr's voice was low, the question almost sounding rhetorical.
"Agnarr?"
"Fine?! Does that look fine to you Kai? The man is barely breathing you called fine? He is far from fine and it's all because of her!" Agnarr exclaimed getting up to his feet.
"Her? Agnarr, surely your are not referring to Elsa?" Kai also stood up and moved closer to Agnarr.
"Who else? It is her selfish decision that landed us in this mess. It was her decision that caused Edward to be in this state as well as his son being in danger. It was also her decision that almost made me lose Anna twice! " Agnarr was furious. His voice loud, hard and accusing.
"Agnarr do you even hear yourself now? You're blaming that child for all of this?" Kai gestured to Edward and the cell.
"She's not a child anymore Kai! It is all the fault of her and that stupid Resistance!"
"You can't possibly believe that all this is Elsa's fault. She has done everything in her power to protect everyone she cares about! I mean she ran away at age eleven and changed her name to protect her family! Edward was part of the Resistance far longer than she has and Anna leaving was her own choice. None of this is Elsa fault." Kai argued.
" You're right it's not her fault, it's yours!" Agnarr suddenly exclaimed.
"Mine!? How on earth is this my fault?"
"You and your talk about the Resistance around Elsa. You are the one that convinced her to join! Your the one who stole my daughter away!"
"Agnarr listen to yourself for a moment! You are shifting blame from one person to another! You're looking for someone to blame. None of this is anyone, but the Order and the Westergaard family's fault. Not Elsa's, not Edward's, not mine. Not even yours." Kai tried to keep calm, he knew Agnarr secretly blamed himself for everything that had happened. Anna's accident, Elsa running away and now both of his daughters marching off to their certain doom.
The anger in Agnarr's eyes dimmed. It was quickly replaced with remorse and sadness. He backed up against the wall and slide down to the ground. He bowed his head.
"You're right, I'm sorry. I'm...I just..." He sighed. "I'm just afraid."
"It's alright." Kai moved towards Agnarr and sat next to him. "It's understandable."
"How are you so calm? Aren't you even a little bit worried about what might happen?"
"Of course I am. I'm absolutely terrified, but I have faith in our girls. Faith that they will stop the Order and return safely to you and Iduna. " Kai said staring ahead of him.
Iduna and Gerda sat in their cell. It was quite and dark. The smell of dust was overwhelming. A figure slowly came out of the darkness.
"Good day lady." Hans greeted the women.
"Westergaard, what do you want?" Iduna spoke up.
"Ah yes Lady Iduna, just as fiery as your daughters. How proud you must be of two government criminals."
"You have no right talking about them like that." Gerda spoke up as she stood up walking closer to the cell door.
"Mrs Summers, nice to see you again." Hans mocked.
"What are you doing here Hans? Are you just here to taunt us?" Iduna asked.
"Partly yes. One of the perks of the job but I'm actually here to make a deal."
"What kind of deal?" Gerda glared at him.
"If you give us the location of the Resistance Base and tell us what they are planning, we'll let you go. Free for charge."
"Not a chance Westergaard."
"I tried to give you a chance but you have forced my hand. I order you to reveal any and all information you possess of The Resistance by order of the law."
"You order us? Don't we have the right to remain silent?" Iduna asked moving next to Gerda
"Alright, you had your chance. I hope you know what you're letting yourself into. The Order doesn't take insubordination lightly."
"Is that what happened to your eye or did your arrogance get the better of you?" Gerda asked.
"You better watch your mouth Summers..."
"Or you'll what? Arrest us? Torture us? Kill us even? Oh please you can't do anything without you dear brother's okay. You pretend to have power and mask your insecurities with arrogance and stupid sideburns. You're nothing more than a scared little daddies boy who is despised by all even his own brothers knowing full well the only reason he's still alive is because his daddy said so."
Hans was fuming. The fury in his eyes would be enough to make anyone back down but Gerda was standing her ground.
"You stand there all high and mighty talking down on those who fight for what they believe in. What are you fighting for? The acceptance of your brothers? People out there are dying just because they don't fit into your ideals. Is that truly what you want for the rest of your life? Killing people because you hold all the money for yourself and still have the audacity to walk around and complain about how hard your life is."
"You know nothing of me!" Hans moved forward until he was again the cell bars, slamming his hand against it. Iduna flinched but Gerda showed no sign of fear
"I know enough to know you don't want this. I can see it in your eyes, uncertainty, but also fear. You know what they are doing is wrong but you're to afraid of what would happen to you if would open your damn mouth and say something!"
"ENOUGH!!" Hans yelled. "You think you're so smart Summers but I can assure you, you know nothing, NOTHING of me or my life. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go take care of a little pest problem. I'll make sure to send them your regards." Hans said smirking turning around and walking away. This is when Iduna rush to the cell bars and yelled after him.
"You touch those girls and you're dead Westergaard! You hear me?! I'll kill you!!" Iduna moved away from the bars visibly shaking from fear and anger. She sat back down on the cell bed.
In the woods:
"So what exactly is your relationship with this Jason character?" Kris asked as he and Elsa walked side by side in front of the group. They had packed up camp at the break of dawn.
Jason had left just after he and Elsa had done discussing the plan to infiltrate the base. Since he left everyone wanted to know what was the deal with the ice queen and the handsome double agent. Kris wanted to know more than the others.
"Kristoff I've told you a million times already. He's just an old friend from the city."
"But you dated?"
"Yes Kris as children Jason and I were in a relationship."
"But it didn't end until you were adults?"
"We dated until I was seventeen and he was eighteen."
"So he's older than you? What he couldn't find someone he's own age?"
"I can ask you the same question. You are 4 years older than Anna. Couldn't you find someone closer to your age?"
"This isn't about me and Anna, it's about you and this Jason person."
"Uhhhgg." Elsa groaned out of frustration as Kris's questions kept coming.
Rapps and Anna were walking next to one another, with Red and Charles short on there heals and Olaf and Rider at the back.
"Kris is really grilled Elsa about this whole Jason thing." Rapps commented.
"Better him than me. If I was the one asking the questions she would have lost it by now." Anna said.
"Have you tried talking to her again?"
"No but what's the use. All I'm going to get is a 'go away Anna I'm busy' anyway."
"Hey, cheer up, you'll get through to her one day. You just have to patient."
"Can I you a question?" Anna asked suddenly.
"Of course."
"Do you know what Elsa and Olaf were fighting about at dinner two nights again?"
Rapps visibly became uncomfortable, not sure how to answer.
"I'm not sure. They've been at it for a while now." Anna looked at Rapps suspiciously as she saw her shift uncomfortable. She wanted to ask her again when they heard Red and Charles argued behind them.
"Oh please, that tale is nothing but a load of horse manure!" Red exclaimed
"It's all true! Olaf told me himself." Charles countered.
"What's going on back here?" Rapps asked.
"This dodo keeps tellin' me of how Olaf single handily stopped the biggest fight the base had ever seen. He keep yapping about how he knock out Eric with one punch and held back Phillp with the other hand, but what he his story is missin' is Kris holding Phillp after he punched Eric out cold. Elsa had to step in before everyone started hittin' each other."
"Yeah I remembered that. Elsa had just been promoted to General. Both Eric and Phillp were suspended for three weeks with warnings." Rapps remembered.
"That seems a bit harsh for almost starting a fight." Anna said.
"Well the base does have a 'no violence' policy. They say that's what the training grounds are for. Depending on how much of a riot you cause, is the amount you'll be punished. The minimum being two week suspension." Rapps told Anna.
"How about a base wide fight?" Anna asked looking both nervous and confused.
"A base wide brawl? Well you'll be immediately kicked out of the military program." Red answered. "Why do you ask?"
"Uhm remember that fight that broke out a few years ago?" Anna asked giggling nervously.
"That was you?!" Rapps yelled.
"Yeah..."
"You're the one who punched Tinker Bell?"
"Yeah, well she started it! She kept going on about how Pan should have gotten the promotion to captain and not Elsa. Then his little buddies joined in and said somethings and I kind of snapped."
"Everyone in the base got clean up duty and extensive training, that would make you miss hell week, because you punched Tinker Bell?"
"And I say good on ya lass. She needs to be taken down a peg or two. She and her whole group." Red slapped Anna on her shoulder. "But how did you managed to stay in the program after such a brutal fight? I mean we were pickin' uo teeth for weeks."
"I may know how..." Rapps said. She than pointed to the front of the group where Elsa and Kris were still talking. "You were still in training and your unit captain, Mulan, was out of town for a while and Elsa was recently promoted..."
"You're tell me Elsa possible saved my ass?" Anna asked not really believe it.
"She was put in charge of the new recruits and those training them and with Mulan out of town she would be the one who would have made the decision."
Anna looked stunned. She couldn't believe that Elsa would actually do something like that for her. If Elsa had followed protocol she would have been rid of Anna for good but she didn't. Why?
