Note: Next chapter, I admit, the things I want to keep have been copy pasted into this new story, but things will be extended.

The Ice Queen

The next day Hans woke up and realized that the place he had fallen asleep was on the wooden slab near the window. The next thing he realized was that the house was quiet, He got up and stretched, the blanket that he had taken from Hiccup's bed fell from his shoulders. He picked up the blanket and put it back on the bed.

I wonder where my savage hosts have gone. Hans thought bitterly. It is rude to leave your guests alone.

Hans left Hiccup's room and headed down the stairs. When he got to the first floor he spotted a wooden tub in the middle of the room, near the fire pit. It was filled with water, and lying next to it was a change of clothes. Hans went over and picked up the clothes.

Savage clothes, how charming.

The clothes consisted of a white tunic and pale grey leggings. There was also a vest that had been made out of a brown furred creature of some sort. A set of boots sat next to the pile and they were brown was well. Hans cringed at the thought of putting on those types of clothes, but looking at his own dirty clothes, he decided that he had no choice but to wear them.

Well, at least these savages know how to bathe.

Hans looked around him to make sure he was alone, before he took his clothes off. After taking off the last piece of his clothing, he climbed into the bath. When he got in, he spotted a tray with a bar of soap in it. After he was done washing himself, he got out of the tub. There was no towel in sight, so he waited a couple minutes before putting his clothes on.

The heat from the fire pit helped dry me off, interesting…

He put his under garments on first. After that he pulled on the leggings, followed by the tunic. Finally, he pulled the vest over his shoulder and pulled the boots on to his feet.

Time to find a Savage woman to wash my clothes.

He left the house in search for someone to wash his clothes, while he was doing so; he spotted the Duke of Weselton. The Duke, as well as a group of men from their ship, were all wearing the savage clothing provided to them from the people. Another thing he noticed was a mixture of male and female savages surrounding a large tub filled with water. They were washing the clothes gathered from their people as well as those from their guests.

Well, if I want my clothes cleaned, I will have to go over there.

Hans brought his clothes over to the savages washing the clothes. He gave his clothes to a plump middle aged savage. She had blonde hair and blue eyes. When Hans handed her the clothes she blushed. As he began to leave, he glanced back and saw her checking out his butt!

How revolting!

When Hans made eye contact with her, she winked at him.

Of all the nerve!

"Today, my dad wants me to take Hans around the island to see 'our way of life,' and then he continued saying that he thinks it is time to show that 'we are not all brainless savages' he would have gone on, but I snuck out when his back was turned."

Hans's head lifted up at the sound of Hiccup's voice. He spotted the Viking Prince among his friends. The group consisted of the pretty savage Astrid, the twins Ruffnut and Tuffnut, the fat boy Fishlegs, and the ugly Snotlout. They seemed to be coming from somewhere, but at the moment Hans did not care.

"Hiccup!" Hans called. "I have been looking everywhere for you! Do you mind escorting me around the island?"

Hans saw Hiccup freeze in his tracks, before heading over to Hans.

"Sorry, I didn't know you had woken up. I got distracted." Hiccup told him.

The stupid twins giggled at Hiccup's flushed face.

"Where's your father?"

Hans did not catch the suspicious glare Astrid sent him.

"He left to perform his Chiefly duties for the day." Hiccup replied. "He'll be back later to have some dinner with us."

Damn!

"Follow me, I will show you the safest places in Berk, places that won't get you killed." Hiccup told him. "We have cliffs, threats of rockslides, creepy boars, and other fun stuff that will try to kill you if given the chance."

Hans followed after Hiccup as the Viking Prince led the tour. To his annoyance, Hiccup's friends had decided to join them. Astrid walked next to Hiccup, while the rest of the group walked behind Hans, except for one. The fat boy Fishlegs walked by his side, and the boy seemed like he wanted to ask some questions, but always lost his courage at the last second. Hans decided he would be the one asking questions first.

"How old are all of you?" Hans asked.

"Sixteen." Hiccup, Astrid, and Snotlout replied.

"Fifteen." The twins and Fishlegs answered.

"How old are you?" Astrid asked.

"I'm nineteen years old." Hans replied.

Hans had to watch out for Astrid, the girl seemed to be on to him, or at the very least wary of him.

"I'm the oldest!" Snotlout blurted out.

"We don't know that for sure, I was born early, so…" Hiccup began.

"I'm the oldest, so I should be the leader!" Snotlout announced, giving Hiccup a pointed glare.

Hiccup ignored him.

"Who is ready to eat?" Hiccup asked.

"Me! Me!" Tuffnut exclaimed.

The group found a good spot, and Hans watched the group interact. Astrid, Fishlegs, and Hiccup took out loafs of bread, cheese, and berries. The split everything evenly among the group, but they gave Hans the largest share. The group fell silent while they ate, which left Hans to his thoughts. Fishlegs approached him.

"Could you tell us about Arendelle?"

Get out of my face!

"Of course, I have a story that you will enjoy, and it is a true story."

Fishlegs' jaw dropped open, before he pulled out a journal and a piece of charcoal. He was waiting to write down what Hans would tell them. Snotlout and the Twins took the bait, and leaned closer to him to hear the story. Astrid pretended to ignore him, but he could tell she was listening to him. Hiccup stayed where he was, but he too was listening. Hans began his story.

"Many years ago, in the sleepy and peaceful kingdom of Arendelle, a lovely Queen and a handsome King gave birth to a daughter. The poor souls did not realize that she was pure evil. She would destroy everything they held dear."

"Loki must have cursed her." Fishlegs mumbled in fear.

Loki?

"Nothing was out of the ordinary at first, until three years later when the second daughter was born to them. The little girl was pure hearted and brought sunshine to the kingdom, and the King and Queen were devoted to her. The evil sister grew jealous, and things changed. When the pure hearted little girl turned five, her evil sister tried to kill her. The King and Queen tried to stop her, but they were killed instead, their eldest daughter had frozen them. You see the evil child controlled the ice and snow."

"She was cursed by Loki!" Astrid gasped.

Hans smiled; Astrid had finally taken the bait.

"After killing her parents, the evil girl decided to spare her sister, and decided to brainwash her. She killed all the servants that opposed her, and kept the ones that she could control with fear. When she turned eighteen, she forced the kingdom to crown her the Queen. When she became the Queen, she put the entire kingdom into a brutal everlasting winter. Soon there was no food, and people can't live solely on water, so they died. Any food that came from other territories immediately went to the Queen.

The Evil Queen enjoyed watching people die; some were even killed by her own hand. Her poor, pure-hearted sister became her puppet; she was forced to follow her sister's plans. The Queen used her to lure people to her, where she would murder them."

Hans paused, like he did not have the heart to go on. Fishlegs had paled in horror, and Snotlout and the Twins looked confused. Astrid was trying to figure something out, but Hans did not care for her reaction. The reaction he wanted came from Hiccup, who seemed to pale in dawning horror.

"The Evil Queen eventually hired a troll of a man, who agreed to carry out her misdeeds. The man murdered those that the Queen did not like, by slitting their throats. The people eventually begged a young humble man to save them from the Evil Queen. The young man tried to help them, but alas, he was unsuccessful and the Queen continues her reign. He searches for those that can help him save Arendelle."

"Wait, are you trying to…" Hiccup began, but was interrupted.

His cousin had swooped in, and flung Hiccup over his shoulder.

"See how easy that was?" Snotlout demanded. "I got a hostage like that! Now, who wants to get the hostage back? Any challengers?"

"Snotlout put me down!" Hiccup yelled.

"Hostages don't speak!" Snotlout told him.

Astrid got up, and kicked Snotlout in the stomach, which freed Hiccup.

"Thanks Astrid."

Hans watched them appalled.

The women here are monsters!

I think we should go back, it's getting late." Fishlegs said.

The group left without Snotlout, to Hans' shock. The boy staggered to his feet, and followed them back to the village. Hans noticed he rubbed his stomach, and kept a wary eye on Astrid. Hans, himself, kept his distance from her.

Anna walked down the hallways of the castle. Her sister was busy working today, which left Anna to her own devices. Olaf had gone with Sven and Kristoff, so she was alone. On the bright side, she got to spend time with her sister in the early morning while they ate breakfast. After that, Elsa was whisked away to her duties.

Anna spotted two guards, and scooted down another hall to avoid them. They scared her, the two men had been hired shortly after the Great Thaw, but Anna was not very comfortable around them. One man had blue eyes, and dirty blonde hair. He was built like Kristoff, but the few times he had grabbed her from wondering off, he was not gentle about it. The other man had brown hair and brown eyes, he was not as built as the blonde man, but he too was not that gentle. They always tried to accompany her if she went to the village, and she always tried to avoid them, they were not very kind to the villagers.

She remembered one time a young girl tried to give her a flower. One guard had grabbed the little girl by the arm and threw her to the ground. The other man stomped the flower flat. When Anna tried to comfort the girl, the guards dragged her back to the castle. When she told Elsa, the guards defended themselves by saying the girl had tried to give Anna a poisoned flower. Elsa was not happy with them, but they did not get fired. However, Elsa paid for any damage the guards had caused, and they were put on probation.

Anna peeked out of the room, and saw the men eyeing the picture of her sister. The picture was recently painted, and just pictured her. It was a picture that had to be painted for political reasons, which Anna did not care about. The blonde man traced his finger along the outlines of the painting, and Anna did not like the look on his face, he looked like he wanted to hurt her sister. The brown man spotted another guard, and slapped the man on the shoulder. Both men saluted, and did not appear to be up to anything.

That was the thing, though; they always acted like the perfect guards when others were around. When they hurt the little girl, there were no witnesses, and the little girl had been too scared to defend herself. Elsa had believed her, but did not have solid proof to testify that it was deliberate, so Anna's account was tossed out. Not by Elsa, but by one of the men that hired them. It was concluded that the guards thought Anna was in danger, and their actions were justified. Anna dubbed the men Jerk 1, and Jerk 2. Since that day, she hated the men, and hoped that she would be able to give her sister enough evidence to get rid of them.

"Princess Anna." The new guard greeted.

Anna froze in her tracks as all three men looked at her. The new guard had blonde hair and green eyes, he was much older than the other two guards, and he had graying hair. He had been part of the royal guard since her parents had been alive.

"I have come to escort you to the village." The older guard said.

He cast a look over at the other two guards. Anna knew that the man did not like the two guards at all, and he did not like the fact that the one that hired them did so without consulting Elsa. He purposely slammed into the other two men to get to Anna, and took her gently by the arm. When they left the castle, the guard whispered in her ear.

"Stay away from them Princess Anna, something is not right about them."

Before she could respond, the guard had stepped away from her, and scanned the area to make sure his princess stayed safe.

TO BE CONTINUED…

Note: The guards are included more as well, there was a part of the story I wanted to do with them, but I introduced them too late. So, here they are, I am going to do more with them this time around. Anna is getting more love, because I feel like I shafted her in the original story.
