The Ice Behind Bars
Chapter LV: Evil Angel
"God, dammit! I can't believe there are guards on the sewers' entrance!" Anna said frustrated as she lied prone at the top of the hill with Kristoff right next to her.
"What did you expect? We used that entrance once and got Elsa out. It's not like your father's gonna put a Welcome sign for you." Kristoff argued.
He scratched his head while staring at the two bulky guards who stood in front of the sewers' entrance, underneath the bridge that led to the castle.
Anna was busy shuffling stuff from her satchel.
"Any ideas?" Kristoff asked before he noticed Anna smirking and holding a vial with purple liquid in it.
He looked at the vial in her hands then at her. Then at the vial… then at her again.
"Oh, hell no. I'm not drinking this!" He rejected.
Anna giggled and slapped his shoulder. "It's not for you silly." She then brought out two tiny darts from her satchel and dipped their pin in the vial. "Watch… and learn."
She put the first dart in what seemed like a blower. She then put her lips on the other end and aimed.
Three… two…
And she blew, sending the dart right towards the first guard.
The first guard yelped and quickly put a hand on his neck. "What the—?"
"Bullseye!" Anna whispered and clenched her fist in victory.
The guard felt something on his neck and removed it, only to stare at it in confusion before he felt dizzy and fell.
The other guard quickly rushed to him. "Hey! You okay!?"
But Anna already readied the other dart and blew.
"What's wrong with you?! Get up—" The second guard slapped his neck as if a mosquito just bit him and felt the dart before he collapsed on the floor.
Kristoff raised an eyebrow at her. "Sleeping potion?"
Anna gave him a thumb up. "We should thank mum, later."
Kristoff chuckled.
"Alright! Onwards!" Anna said while pointing at their next destination.
They both quickly got up with Anna making sure the blue rose's fine. They went down the hill, carefully underneath the bridge so that no one would notice then stood right in front of the entrance.
Kristoff bowed and smiled. "Ladies first."
The door flied open as the guard rushed in. "Your Majesty! Your majesty!"
The king looked up from his desk completely irritated. "What is it!?" He yelled.
The guards didn't know what to say. "Y-Your majesty… I-It's…It's…"
Jamie's eyes slowly widened in shock as Catherine stepped in. "Ca—… Catherine?" His voice barely heard.
"Jamie!" She said happily, unable to hold back her joy of being reunited with her big brother.
"Catherine!" He smiled widely and rushed to hug her.
The two hugged each other tightly.
Excited and surprised, Jamie quickly broke the hug to stare at his little sister. "It's you!... I-It's really you! You're alive!" He joyfully said. "But… But you were—"
"Dead?" Catherine cut him off. She looked away sadly. "Jamie… I have to tell you something…"
He looked worriedly at her. "What is it?"
"I…" she sighed. "I was never murdered, Jamie… I was about to! B-But I ran away."
His eyes slowly widened. "Why didn't you come home?"
Catherine looked at his eyes. "I… I don't know." She never confessed to herself that she always felt uneasy, coming back home. Even now, she knew there was something wrong. For the look in Jamie's eyes had changed.
Jamie was silent for a moment before he smiled at her and hugged her again. "Ooooh, Catherine…" he calmly started. "How I've missed you so..."
All of a sudden Catherine felt his fist smashing with her stomach, striking her vital point. Her eyes were incredibly wide as she fell on her knees, holding her stomach in agony.
"But it seems everyone is becoming a traitor these days." He stood above her, staring coldly at her. "You betrayed your own kingdom just like Aphrodite did… and ran away. And you left me to suffer with grief."
"J-Jamie… what?" She tried to say, grimacing in pain.
Jamie shook his head and sighed. "Cowards… all of you are cowards." He looked at her in disgust. "I. Hate. Cowards."
Catherine looked up in utter disbelief. "So it's… t-true… You… murdered… all these people!" She remembered the corpses she saw back at the ruined fort.
"Sometimes you have to do what's best for the kingdom." He said.
"By murder?!" She snarled at him.
He shrugged. "They were just thieves."
"And your daughter… that you've tortured! Was she… a thief too?!" She glared at him but started feeling dizzy as her vision blurred.
Jamie sighed and kneeled to her eye level. "I know you can't understand what I'm doing… you're just too naïve, my dear Catherine… you've always been." He taunted and chuckled. "Mother and Father were right. You are too stupid to be a ruler."
"So it's true… You're EVIL!" She said angrily. You've always been! She thought. "I know you are… I always… felt it. You've never… loved me. I always… lied to myself!"
Jamie looked at her gloved hand. "Does it still hurt?" He smirked.
Catherine sneered at him. "It was all… your fault to begin with!" She referred to her burnt hand. "If you hadn't told mother that I stole… from the kitchen, I wouldn't be having this in the first place!" Catherine felt the darkness taking over. "but you've… enjoyed it!"
Jamie chuckled. "I don't have time to dwell about the past, my dear." He put a finger underneath her chin and lifted her head. "I have a daughter to end." He smirked before he let her go, making her fall to the ground.
Catherine's world then suddenly turned black, his last words ringing in her ear.
The dungeons' door opened and Jamie stepped in.
Two guards followed him, dragging the barely conscious Catherine from her arms.
"Just put her there." Jamie ordered, pointing at Aphrodite and Brandon's cellar.
"Catherine?!" Aphrodite recognized, her eyes wide in surprise.
When the guards laid the princess inside the cellar, Aphrodite quickly rushed to her, resting the woman's redhead on her lap. "You just can't help it, huh?!" She snarled angrily at her husband. "You just have to make everyone who once loved you suffer!"
The guards closed the cellar again.
Jamie did not even answer he just turned and walked straight towards Elsa's door.
Who am I?
She stared coldly at her hands as she sat in the middle of her cellar.
What am I?
Her emotionless eyes moved to the frost on the wall.
Why?
She stared at the broken shackles around her wrists.
Who… am I?
The door of her cellar opened behind her.
"Monster." The king called. "It's time." He smirked widely.
Elsa slowly turned her head at him; her face showing no sign of emotion.
Monster. She thought.
"Remove those shackles and chain her hands behind her back." The king ordered the guards.
The two guards nodded and turned to Elsa.
They gulped, exchanged looks and carefully approached her.
Elsa turned her head away and stared at the ground, not moving an inch.
The guards were definitely uneasy as they removed the broken shackles. When they touched her wrists, they felt the extreme coldness of her pale skin.
Which didn't make them feel any better.
After removing them, they noticed the old scars around her wrists. Cuffs and chains no doubt. They then locked her wrists in two hard metal cuffs.
"Move it." One of the guards ordered.
Elsa looked at him with those hopeless, empty eyes, making him flinch away.
"I said, move!" He ordered again, trying to hide his fear.
Elsa then slowly got up and turned towards the door.
The two guards quickly pointed their spear at her. "Don't try anything funny." He warned.
The king chuckled. "You don't have to worry about that." He smirked and looked at his bandaged palm. "I have her under control."
Catherine… Catherine!
Catherine slowly opened her eyes to see a familiar woman's face.
"Oh, thank god. You're awake." Aphrodite said in relief.
"Aph—… Aphrodite?" Catherine tiredly asked, still feeling confused.
"What happened?" The queen asked.
Catherine slowly sat up. She put a hand on her forehead and looked around realizing she's in the dungeons. She sighed. "Nothing surprising…"
Aphrodite watched her sympathetically. "How did you get here? I thought you were—"
"Long story." Catherine cut her off.
They all turned to look at the king as he stepped out from Elsa's cellar.
The king started walking in the middle of the hallway.
Elsa calmly followed.
The moment Aphrodite saw Elsa come out, she quickly rushed to the bars. "Elsa!" She called worriedly.
Elsa completely ignored her and kept her head down.
The moment Catherine laid eye on her niece for the first time, she felt her heart skip a beat. Elsa's strange appearance didn't make her flinch for a second. What really did was how many scars this young woman had. She shook her head in disbelief, "Jamie! Stop all this nonsense! Wake UP!" She pleaded.
"I won't let you take her away from me again!" Aphrodite yelled.
Jamie stopped right in front of Aphrodite. "Oh, don't worry… You're coming with us." He motioned to the guards to open the cellar.
"What?" Aphrodite was surprised.
The guards opened the door.
Brandon quickly moved to stand in between and shield her but the guard quickly pointed his spear to his throat.
The other guard quickly grabbed Aphrodite from her arm and pulled her out of the cellar as she struggled greatly.
"Let me go!" She yelled.
"Let her go!" Brandon furiously screamed and before he could lunge at the guard, the door of the cellar closed, making his body come in contact violently with the rough metal.
Aphrodite struggled hard until she was finally free. She quickly ran to Elsa and the guard tried to catch her again, but he was taken aback when the king raised his hand confidently and told him not to.
"Elsa!" She approached her daughter.
Elsa didn't respond.
Aphrodite slowly brought her hands to her daughter's cheeks. "Elsa?" She lifted her head to stare into her eyes.
Aphrodite's eyes widened in shock.
Her daughter's eyes stared right at hers. No… It was almost as if she was staring right through her. Elsa's eyes were dull and dead. Lifeless. Hopeless.
Hollow.
"Please…" Aphrodite's voice cracked as she begged her daughter to say something… Anything.
But Elsa didn't say a word.
"You see, my love?" Jamie teasingly said and approached his spouse. He leaned to her ear and patted her shoulder. "I told you she's no longer yours."
Aphrodite was completely speechless. She found herself unable to breathe or even move.
Jamie turned and started walking again.
The guard grabbed Aphrodite's hands and cuffed them behind her back. It wasn't even much of a hard thing to do since she was too shocked to comprehend that she was being restrained.
Elsa lowered her head again and followed her father.
"Move it." The guard ordered Aphrodite.
"Don't you worry, dear Aphrodite." Jamie started as he went out of the dungeons. "I'll make sure to make you watch."
Elsa stared at the huge castle door that led outside to the courtyard. How many years had it been since she saw that door? She could already hear the angry citizens outside, raging.
The guards opened the door, revealing the huge courtyard and every citizen of Arendelle— or what's left of them.
The citizen's voice raged louder as Elsa— the murderer— appeared in front of them.
"It's HER!"
"It's the snow queen!"
"Kill her!"
The guards tried to hold them back as the king led his daughter to the gallows.
Aphrodite stared in shock at all the angry and disgusted faces everyone was giving her daughter.
"Burn her alive!"
People started throwing rocks at Elsa as hard as they could.
One hit her on the head and made her stumble and fall on the iced ground with a grunt.
"Elsa!" Aphrodite called in worry.
"She deserves to be punished!"
Aphrodite looked at Elsa who struggled a bit before she simply got back up and continued walking as if nothing just happened, despite the blood leaking from her forehead.
"Burn her on the stakes!"
"Witch!"
Aphrodite's heart was being ripped apart. Angry tears formed at the corner of her eyes as she glared at the citizens for harming her daughter.
Jamie stared proudly at the two poles that stood tall on the gallows. He imagined Elsa chained between those two poles and he couldn't help but feel pleased. In a few moments, he would be the mighty king who saved his kingdom from the wicked monster.
When they finally arrived, the guards brought Elsa up the stairs and chained her between the two tall wooden pillars, each hand chained above her on each pole, making her stand on the tip of her toes.
Who am I? The question kept repeating inside Elsa's head.
One guard forced Aphrodite to kneel in front of the gallows, as the king ordered, so she could 'enjoy the show'.
The king raised his hand and everyone went silent in an unbelievable way.
Jamie inhaled deeply and… "Behold!... The Snow Queeeeenn!"
The citizens and the guards all cheered for their king and praised for the end of the snow queen.
Who am I?
Jamie coughed then spoke loudly. "Today we shall get rid of this, Monster! For SHE not only ruined our beautiful kingdom! But killed your beloved children, wives and husbands! Today I... Your KING! Shall bring you JUSTICE!"
The crowd cheered even louder for their faithful ruler.
Aphrodite glared at her husband but knew that she couldn't do anything. Anna… Where are you? Please save her… Save your sister!
"This woman has been hiding away like a coward while we all suffered!" The king continued. "She mercilessly froze our crops, killed our cattle and starved our friends and families to death!"
"That's not true!" Aphrodite yelled. "It's all your fault! YOU hid her in the castle! People! Look at her scars! HE tortured her!" She tried to clarify.
The citizens did notice all the scars on her and honestly were not one bit moved.
The king smirked at Aphrodite one time then turned to the citizens. "Her scars show how many people have tried to kill her! How many people she's been harming!"
Who am I?
"She's a wicked witch!" One man screamed and others shouted in agreement.
Aphrodite was desperate. "Everyone please! I am your queen! Why would I have run away if there was no terrible reason!? HE was the cruelest man I've ever seen! He never was a good king!"
Jamie glared at her and gritted his teeth.
"This poor woman whom you're all judging is his own daughter! Please, believe me! " Aphrodite begged. "Who do you think all those screams belonged too?! All those years!?"
Jamie's fists were clenched hard. "Shut her up!" He ordered the guard behind her.
The guard quickly gagged her with a cloth, not allowing her to say another word.
The citizens were surprised and now confused, but the stubbornness and hate they carried were too great.
"Do you people honestly believe her?!" Jamie put a hand on his chest dramatically. "She betrayed us all and ran away, abandoning her own daughter! She did not even once appreciate the love I was giving her! As for my beautiful daughter… She died because of the illness that took over her fragile little body." He faked his sadness.
Who… am I? The chains started to shake, as if she was… pulling?
"And I shall NOT allow you to mortify my daughter's name with THIS monster!" He pointed at Elsa and smirked at Aphrodite when she was struggling and screaming in rage behind her gag.
The citizens agreed and started cheering for him again.
"But the past is beyond us! It's time to start anew, put an end to our misery and kill that MONSTER!"
Aphrodite wasn't going to give up just yet. She tried her best to shake her gag off her mouth.
The guards next to Elsa noticed the chains starting to freeze. "Uhhh… Jacob?" The guard elbowed his comrade and they started backing away.
Who… am… I?
"WHO IS SHE!?" The king shouted, his lips trembling with excitement.
The crowd shouted back. "Monster! Monster! MONSTEEEEEEER!"
"ENOUGHHHHH!" Aphrodite screamed.
The freezing stopped.
Everyone turned at her.
The king was extremely furious now.
She panted as she tried to form words. "People… what's wrong with you?! How can you be so CRUEL!" She shouted at them. "Show mercy! She is innocent, innocent, INNOCENT!"
The king shakily inhaled as he tried to suppress his fury. "How… many times…" He went down the gallows and approached Aphrodite. "Should I tell you to…"
Before anyone could comprehend what was happening, his fist came smashing with her cheek. "Shut uuuuup!"
Aphrodite fell to the ground with a thud.
The king's anger was too great for him to notice that everyone was completely shocked at his reaction.
He blinked then looked around nervously. He then coughed and fixed his hair, returning to his gallant posture.
He then looked at around him and saw the confused and now doubtful looks some of the citizens were giving him.
He sighed. "Fine… Let's all be the judge of that." He pointed at Aphrodite. "Release her."
Aphrodite's eyes widened.
The guards exchanged confused looks before one of them removed the cuffs on her hands.
Aphrodite knew better. This wicked look in his eyes… it didn't mean any good.
He turned at Elsa and smirked. He calmly walked right up next to her and gave Aphrodite one last look.
What are you up to? Aphrodite glared at him.
The king turned away and stared at the frozen chains. "Hmph. Innocent, you say?" Suddenly he unsheathed his sword and slashed at the chains, setting Elsa free.
Everyone was completely flabbergasted at what he just did.
"She's…" One of the citizen started as his voice trembled. His face turned pale. "She's free! The snow queen's freeee!" He screamed in fear.
Everyone started backing away and screaming in fear, not wanting to be involved. What the hell was their king thinking?!
The king ignored everyone and calmly moved away, pointing with his palm at Elsa as if beckoning Aphrodite to approach.
When the chains broke Elsa fell on her knees and hands. Her hair covered her face so Aphrodite wasn't able to see her expression.
Aphrodite quickly got up on her feet, ran up to her, and grabbed her by her shoulders. "Elsa… I'm gonna stop this. I'll get you out of here! I won't ever give up on you, again. You're my daughter, do you hear me?!"
Elsa didn't lift her head.
"Do you hear me?! I'm not gonna give up on you!"
All of a sudden Aphrodite started choking. Her eyes were wide as she stared in horror at Elsa's hand around her throat.
Elsa slowly lifted her head, a maniac smirk on her lips. "Too late…"
"Ugh! This place didn't get any better!" Anna complained while clothing her nose; her voice weird.
"Well, this is the only way to get inside so…" Kristoff said.
"Are you sure it's sane to leave Zoey with Sven?" Anna asked, feeling anxious about that idea.
"Don't worry. Sven will definitely keep her safe. Just like he did with me since… forever."
Anna looked at the half blue, half red rose in her hand. "I hope you're happy, you." She talked to it. "You don't even have a smell, for crying out loud! So you're not of any help in here!"
"Anna. Focus. You're talking to a rose." Kristoff reminded.
"Right."
They continued a few steps before Anna noticed that the rose started glowing again and the red color spreading.
She gasped. "Kristoff!"
"Shhhhh!" He quickly turned at her. "What part of sneaking don't you understand?!" He whispered.
"Th-th-th-th-the rose! It's getting red! Sh-She said that when Red spreads, it's a bad thing!" Anna explained.
"Anna, who are you talking about?!" Kristoff was confused.
"The white lady!" Anna answered, her face becoming really worried.
"The white what?!" Kristoff was completely bewildered now as he noticed the glowing rose.
"The white lady! She said something about Elsa and that when the rose becomes red some bad abracadabra will happen!" Anna clarified.
"Huh?!"
"No time to explain! Come on!"
"Is it because there's really no time or because you really suck at explaining?!" Kristoff asked as he ran next to her.
"Both!"
The two ran through the sewers until Anna found the familiar ladder. "There!" She pointed.
They looked up and saw the light coming from the room.
"Come on!" Anna climbed first.
She reached the end and slowly lifted the doormat to make sure no guards were around. "Coast's clear." She pushed the doormat away and climbed up.
Rapunzel was the first to notice. "Anna! Kristoff!"
Everyone turned at Anna and ran to the bars.
"You're here!" Aiden said happily.
"Rapunzel, Aiden! Brandon! Oh I'm so glad you guys are okay!" Anna ran to Rapunzel and held her hands. When she noticed there was no sign of her mother and Elsa's cellar door was opened, she feared the worst. "Where's mum and Elsa!?"
"He just came in and took them both!" Rapunzel replied. "He's gonna kill Elsa, Anna! You have to hurry!"
Anna nodded and quickly started picking the locks.
"What are you doing?! You have to go help, Elsa!" Aiden said.
"I won't leave you guys here!" Anna said before the lock clicked and she opened the first cellar, letting Rapunzel, Aiden and some of the villagers, including Bulda, out.
Kristoff put Aiden's arm around his shoulder since he was limping. "You guys had a rough time, huh?" He asked.
"You have no idea." Aiden replied.
"Is that… Elsa's rose?!" Rapunzel asked while pointing at the rose in Anna's hands.
Anna nodded. "I promised myself that I would give it to her." She smiled tenderly at the flower.
Rapunzel stared at it in surprise since the rose was blue and red…and glowing! If they didn't have very little time before Elsa was killed, she would have asked Anna thousands of questions.
"Can you hold on to it?" Anna gave the rose carefully to Rapunzel before she quickly rushed to Brandon cellar.
When she noticed Catherine, her eyes widened. "Catherine?! You, too?!" She asked.
Catherine looked away and didn't answer, feeling ashamed.
"I told you he was evil." Anna said with a scowl as she worked on the lock.
Catherine sighed sadly. "I guess I've lost my brother a long time ago."
"There." Anna opened the door. "Rapunzel! Brandon! Here are some lock-picks. Help me open the other cellars."
Razor, Saja and all the other old prisoners were shocked. "Wait… You're gonna help US too?!" Razor asked in shock.
"Well, of course I am! I promised before that I would come get you out, haven't I?" Anna winked at him as she worked on his cellar's lock.
Razor remembered the first time they came and saved Elsa. He remembered Anna's promise and had always hoped that she would be true to her word. He nearly cried with joy. He was finally gonna get out of here. "Thank you…"
All the cellars were now open and everyone was free.
"You can all get out from here using the sewers so that no one can see you." Anna announced.
"What about you?!" Rapunzel asked in worry.
Anna smiled gently. "I have to save my sister."
Rapunzel's eyes widened but then she smiled back. "Go get him, girl." She shook Anna's shoulder.
"Oh, no you won't." Aiden started. "We were once a team. We did our missions together and always got each other's backs. Come on, Anna…" He winked at her. "What do you say? One last mission before we call it a day?"
Anna smiled at him. "One last mission." She nodded.
"I'm coming along too."
"Brandon?" Anna turned at him.
"He wants to be the knight who saves the princess— Queen." Rapunzel teased.
Brandon blushed but gave up on hiding it. He chuckled. "To tell you the truth, girl, I don't think I'll survive another day without her tending to my wounds after a fight, or yelling at me for being an idiot."
Anna smiled tenderly at him. She was glad her mum found a man who actually loved her and treated her kindly... Unlike her father.
"I'll go with the others and help the wounded." Catherine decided. "I've seen enough of my brother." Before anyone could reply she turned away sadly and went down the ladder.
Anna and the others pitied her. She had every right to be sad.
"Alright. Everyone's out." Tyler approached them while dusting his hands.
Rapunzel glared at him. "Aren't you going with them?"
Tyler smirked. "Sorry to disappoint you, sweety." He rubbed the back of his neck as his smirk turned into a small yet sincere smile. "But there's someone I need to apologize to." He looked at Anna. "And I want that little blondie alive so I can do that."
Anna smiled at him thankfully.
"That's the spirit!" Brandon slapped Tyler's shoulder, making him yelp in pain.
"I'm still recovering, Bran!" Tyler whined.
Brandon laughed. "Oh come on! Don't be such a puss—"
"Okay! Are you ready, thieves?!" Anna asked, all excited.
"Ready!" The thieves put their hands all together and chanted in unison.
"We fight for the weak! We steal from the wealthy to give the needy! In people's eyes, we're thieves! But in God's, were heroes!"
Aphrodite's battered body came crashing on the iced ground, meters away from Elsa who stood on the gallows laughing for throwing her mother as if she was a ball.
"Didn't you miss me, dear mother?!" Elsa asked while pointing at herself.
"You can kill her if you want." The king said as he stood proudly next to his… creation.
Elsa's head slowly turned at him and she gave him that crazy smile that made him gulp.
"You should thank the entire heavens that you're still alive." She looked at his hand. "That mark might be keeping you safe… But not for long." She laughed again and turned her attention back to Aphrodite who shakily stood up. "So don't worry. You're next."
The king's smirk fell.
Elsa then got down from the gallows and started approaching her mother.
The citizens started screaming in fear, seeing that the snow queen was free. They all ran, trying to get away from this monstrosity.
Elsa looked at their horrified faces and shook her head in amusement. "Oh, no you're not!" She smashed her hands on the ground and all of a sudden a huge wall of ice shut the courtyard's entrance, blocking the citizens' way.
"You're leaving the party already?!" Elsa acted surprised. She tapped her chin. "What was it that you guys were saying?...The Snow Queen's execution? Hurray, hurray?" She mocked then giggled.
The citizens trembled in fear.
But all of a sudden her expression turned grim. "No one is leaving this place alive." She promised.
The citizens backed away as hard as they could from her and some were even trying their hardest to punch and break the ice, but the wall was too thick and the ice was strong solid.
The guards rushed to protect their kingdom and its people, and surrounded Elsa with spears and swords in their hands.
"Leave her be." Jamie ordered.
The guards gave their king a shocked look. "But… your majesty!" One of the guards tried to argue.
"I am your king! I said, leave her be!"
The guards exchanged worried and nervous looks before they slowly and hesitantly lowered their weapons, and backed away.
"That's right. Good dogs!" Elsa taunted as she stood with a hand on her hips.
"Go to Hell…" One of the guards cursed her.
Elsa smirked at him. "Oh? Hell is empty, darling… cause all the demons are here." She pointed at herself. "Now…" She turned at her mum. "Back to you…"
"Elsa… What's wrong?!" Aphrodite's tone sounded desperate. "You were never like this!"
"What's WRONG?!" Elsa was honestly surprised. "I'll tell you what's wrong!"
An ice spike came out from the ground inches away from Aphrodite's cheek.
Aphrodite yelped and started backed away.
Elsa started walking slowly towards her. "What's WRONG!... is that I have a COWARD of a mother who used me to create a snowstorm for her so she could run away!" She lifted one finger as if counting.
Another ice spike came out of the ground and Aphrodite dodged it again but this one gave her a cut on her arm.
"What's WRONG! Is that you LEFT me there in the forest because I would have been a great burden for you!" Elsa's mocking tone was slowly turning into rage.
"That's not true!" Aphrodite sobbed.
Another ice spike came out and this one was big and sharper than the others.
"What's WRONG! Is that you didn't even think of looking back and never tried to SAVE ME!" Elsa screamed in rage.
"I'm sorry!" Aphrodite was crying really hard now and she found herself unable to move. She hugged herself and waited for her demise. She deserved it. She was a horrible mother. Elsa deserved to beat her and kill her.
Elsa then stood in front of her mother's shaking frame and smirked manically at her. "Sorry?... Sorry won't stop me from killing you, dear mother." Elsa's hand started glowing with power as she formed the ice.
Aphrodite closed her eyes, ready to take it.
Elsa lifted her hand, ready to strike. "Goodbye, dear mother… May we meet in Hell." Elsa shot the ice from her hands that went straight towards her mother.
"NOOO!"
Elsa's eyes widened in shock when the ice that she shot, didn't hit the target she wanted. Instead… it hit Anna…
Anna's heart.
Anna had shielded her mother from death by throwing herself in front of her.
"Anna!" Aphrodite screamed.
Anna fell on her knees, breathing heavily.
"Are you okay?!" Brandon and the others rushed to her side.
"I-I'm fine… I'm fine." Anna looked up and stared in horror at her sister. How could you?! She thought. How could Elsa try to kill their mother?!
"It's YOU!" Jamie shouted in astonishment. He finally saw his long lost daughter.
Elsa was staring with wide, amazed and excited eyes. "Finally!... If it isn't my sweet dear, dear, little sister!" She laughed hysterically and opened her arms wide. "Oh, why don't you come here, baby sister! Don't you wanna hug me?! Or…" She waved her hands and snow started forming a structure. "Build a snow maaaan?!" She sang and the ice only created a deformed snowman. "Hmmm…" Elsa scratched her head. "Olaf used to come out better." She shrugged. "But oh well… I like him better this way." She smirked.
Anna slowly stood and stared in disbelief at her sister. "This… This isn't you… This isn't YOU!"
"OHHH, but it is!" Elsa twirled around and cupped her hands. "Oh, how I've lounged for this moment ever since we got separated when we were little!" She giggled. "But…" She put a finger on her cheek. "A few desires have changed, I can tell you that."
One of the guards couldn't handle it anymore. "You… You evil witch!" He grabbed his spear and ran at her.
"No!" The other guards shouted for him but he didn't listen and he was too overwhelmed by stress.
The rose in Rapunzel's hands was glowing brighter than ever as more red started overwhelming it.
Elsa turned at him with that wide smirk, dodging the spear and shoving her hand right through his chest.
Rapunzel turned away, nearly vomiting.
Everyone was completely horrified.
Elsa stared right into the poor young guard's eyes. She brought her other hand and shook her finger slowly in front of him. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk… That's not a good way to treat a lady, now is it?" She said and pulled her hand out of his chest, holding his beating heart in her blood covered hand.
The young guard swayed back and fell violently to the ground, forming a huge puddle of blood underneath him.
Elsa threw the heart up and down in her hand before she threw it towards Anna and the others. "Dinner's ready!" She happily announced.
"Anna…" Aphrodite called tiredly.
Anna turned at her, the shocked expression still on her face.
"You have to run away from here. There's no hope for her anymore." Aphrodite sadly said. "I will keep her busy until you take everyone and go."
"Aphrodite, no!" Brandon kneeled next to her battered frame.
"Yes, Brandon." Aphrodite stopped him. "I have to. She's my daughter."
"No."
The others turned and looked at Anna.
Anna unsheathed her daggers. "I want to be the one to end her misery."
"Anna, you can't!" Aphrodite disagreed.
"I have to." Anna cut her off. She then looked at her mum from behind her shoulder and smiled. "She's my sister."
Before Aphrodite or anyone could object, Anna's expression turned cold and serious. She looked at Elsa and readied herself, holding the daggers tightly in her hands.
Elsa got excited. "You're gonna play with me!? Oh, I can't wait to see how YOUR heart beats!" She said joyfully.
Anna was glaring at her as she ranted psychotically. She stood in her fighting stance and forced herself to gulp down all her tears.
For she was about to kill her sister.
If anyone have time for this i recommend you hear : What Have You Done - Within Temptation (since it's what Anna is thinking right now after what she saw in Elsa.) and as for Elsa... i recommend the song Had Enough - Breaking Benjamin so you can get a picture of what's happening in Elsa's mind ;)
