Chapter 9: In the Castle
Elsa's POV
I found myself in a tub full of bubbles. I was amazed at how many bubble could be in one place.
"Oh you poor dear." Toothina said. "Surviving a shipwreck. You must be so shaken up."
"Yes, it was terrifying." I said, playing along.
Toothina poured some water on my head. "Well, don't you worry, my dear. We'll have you feeling better in no time."
She then grabbed what I was wearing before. "I'll just get this washed for you."
I went to stop her, because I knew Sebastian was in there. Then I remembered he owed me an explanation about Ariel. I figured his tongue needed loosening.
"Sure, go right ahead." I said with a smirk.
…
Sebastian's POV
"Sure, go right ahead."
I shook in horror when I heard Elsa say that. She must have been punishing me for not telling her about Ariel.
The woman threw the shirt in a wash bucket. I splashed around trying to get out. Another woman grabbed the shirt and started washing it.
When she picked it up, I jumped out of the shirt and ran to the wall. I climbed it and jumped into a window.
"That girl! How dare she do that to… to… to."
I then saw where I was. There was fish being chopped, squid being cooked, and crab that was stuffed. The one place I didn't want to be ever again. The kitchen.
"Oh no, not this again."
...
Jack's POV
I started out the window in the dining at the kingdom. The people were bustling around as usual.
North came in to the room. "Any success in your search for the mystery girl?"
"Nothing yet." I replied.
"Jack, you realize that you sound crazy. Girl don't go swimming around saving people then disappear into thin air."
"North I'm telling you, she's real. She has these blue eyes, platinum blonde hair, touch as cold as ice. I'm gonna find her, and I'm gonna marry her."
Just then I heard Toothina in the doorway.
"This way, my dear. Don't be shy."
Elsa walked into the room. Her brown hair was down with her bangs to the side. She had a light blue dress on. She looked beautiful.
"Hi Jack." She said as she came up to me.
"You look wonderful." I said, trying to compose myself.
"Thank you."
North walked over.
"Now my dear, you must be famished. Here, let's sit you down." north led her to the table. "Quite comfortable isn't it."
I pushed the seat in for her, then sat down at the head of the table.
"I wanted to thank you for helping me." Elsa said.
"Oh it's no problem."
She then looked around. "Where's your sister?"
"She finishing up her studies. She'll be down after she's done." North said
She then picked up a fork. She then started to comb her hair with it. North and I looked at her confused.
"Sorry." She said as she set it back down.
North shrugged and grabbed his pipe. He lit it up.
"Oh wow!" Elsa said excited.
"Oh do you like it?" North said handing her his pipe. "It is rather nice."
Elsa blew the pipe sending soot all over North's face.
I laughed. "Well, North. Who knew soot looked good on you? Maybe you are Santa!"
Toothina walked up next to me.
"Jack, I must say it's good to see you smile again."
Elsa smiled at me.
"It feels good to smile."
"Yes, delightful. Toothina, what's for dinner?" North asked as he cleaned his face off.
"Oh you're going to love it. Aster got a new recipe from the famous Chief Louie from Analugha. Stuffed crab!"
…
Sebastian's POV
I heard a noise. I quickly hid behind a bottle. I looked from behind it to see a man in a cupboard. He brought some fish to the counter.
"Please no. Please." I silently begged.
Oh the Fish, Oh the Fish
Oh how I love the fish
Love to chop and to serve little fish
First I cut off their heads then I pull out their bones
Ah, but yes it is always delish
Oh the fish Oh the fish
Hehehe hohoho
With a cleaver I hack them in two
I pull out what's inside and I serve it up fried
Cause I love little fishes don't you
Here's something for temping the palate
Prepared in the classic technique
First you pound the fish flat with a mallet
Then you slash through the skin, give the belly a slice
Then you rub some salt in
Cause that makes it taste nice
The man reached of the bottle I was hiding behind. I quickly hid in my shell.
"Crikey, I have missed one." He said as he picked me up.
What is this, what is this
How on earth could I miss such a sweet little succulent crab
What a pity what a loss
Here we go in the sauce
Now some flour I think just a dab
Now I stuff you with bread it don't hurt cause your dead and your certainly lucky you are
Cause it's gonna be hot in my big silver pot
Toodle-oo my fish goodbye
The man threw me to the pot. I was able to get out before I was boiled. I landed on the counter.
He picked me up with a fork with two prongs. He lifted me up to his face.
"What's going on here?"
I grabbed his nose with my claws. He dropped me on the stove. He went to grab me again. His hand hit the hot stove. He screamed in pain.
I got off the stove and ran on to the counter. He looked under the counter, I just dropped the bowl of sauce on his head.
I jumped down and ran out the door. He came running after me with a bunch of knifes.
…
Elsa's POV
I just sat at the table waiting for dinner. North was talking to Jack.
"You know, Jack. I'm sure our guest would like to see the sights of the kingdom. Something like a tour."
I looked at Jack. He stopped looking at me to speak to North. "I'm sorry, North. What did you say?"
"My boy you can't be moping around all your life. You need to get out."
"Well it's not a bad idea." Jack turned to me. "So what do you say, would you like to join me tomorrow for a tour of my kingdom?"
"I would love to." I said, trying not to get too excited.
"Wonderful. Now where's the crab?"
Just then Sebastian came running in with Aster running after him with a knife. Sebastian came over to me. I quickly grabbed him and stood up, hiding him in my hands.
"Would you excuse me? I've seemed to have lost my appetite." I quickly ran out of the room, with Sebastian letting out a sigh of relief.
…
General POV
Elsa ran out of the room. Aster jumped on the table.
"KILL THAT CRAB!"
"Aster! What are you doing? You just scared away our dinner guest!" North said, grabbing him by the collar.
"I'll go get her." Jack said with a chuckle as he got up and exited the room.
"Nice going, Bunnymund." Toothina said sharply.
Wow, now that was a crazy scene.
I hope you guys are liking the fact that Elsa can talk. Makes this a little harder, but I can handle it.
