It was about five o'clock, it was dark outside, and I had expected us to be there by now, Elsa had fallen asleep about an hour ago, her head resting against my shoulder, and I was just sitting there.
Then we stopped.
I looked out the window and immediately sensed something was wrong, I quickly woke Elsa up. "what are we there yet", I then motioned for her to be quiet. She did so easily, I then pulled out one of my daggers and gave it to her, "I don't think we are there yet I think there might be trouble, so protect yourself with this, I am going to go outside and see what the trouble is okay, you stay here and stay safe", Elsa gave me a hug and then I went out.
I saw Kristoff almost immediately he was tending to the reindeer, but he did seem anxious I walked over to him and he said "look like you are tending to the reindeer", so I did I started to stroke Sven but I could sense that he too was on edge, "now without turning your head to much look out of the corner of your eye and see the yellow eyes, but don't make contact for to long". I did as he instructed and then I saw them, like fireflies, I then quickly looked away, "what the hell is that" I hissed at Kristoff, "that is Mor'du, the demon bear, he used to be a great prince and warrior but he wanted more power so a witch gave it to him by turning him into a bear. Tell Elsa now the grove is about two minutes off they have a magic protective barrier to keep out things like him. So how fast can you run", I then got his plan, I quickly went back inside the carriage, "well what's the problem, how bad is it" Elsa asked as she gave me back my dagger. I then shut the door and took out my long sword and placed it on the seat opposite Elsa "well we are being hunted by the demon bear Mor'du" Elsa looked shocked when I said that I quickly covered her mouth so she wouldn't scream "now here is the plan okay I am going to go hide I a bush then you and Kristoff are going to make a dash for the grove, hopefully Mor'du will chase after you and I can have ago at him from behind. I am leaving my heavy sword here so I can make a quick dash to the grove and meet you there".
Before I left, she quickly kissed me on the lips, it was just a quick peck, but I could feel that her lips where like ice, "stay safe" she said as I jumped out.
I went back round to see Kristoff the eyes were still in the same place, "ready" Kristoff asked as he grabbed the rains, "ready" I replied, so I ducked into the bush, and waited.
The second Kristoff whipped the rains, the reindeer were off at full speed and Mor'du right behind them. I saw him and came right up after him, I pulled out my dagger and managed to get it to stick in his back leg, then he turned his attention on to me, and I had no clue what to do now.
