The trolls really screwed things up. They stole young children, wiped them of their memories like they did to Anna, and just raised them to be antisocial trolls? Wow...
I've been getting reviews for this fic and they really encourage me and keep me writing. Thank you guys to no end!
Part 3 out of 3 for You Never Fixed Anyone! Enjoy!
The funeral for the Princess and the Queen was simple and quiet. Elsa's body was easily recovered, but Anna without a doubt was gone without a trace. Somewhere in that beautiful blue water, Kristoff thought, was where the dead Princess lay scattered in tiny particles.
He stood silently by the two huge graves that had been placed in a deep cliff overlooking a stretch of ocean, the same cliff that their parents' graves had been placed. People easily came and went from Anna's, Kristoff noticed, but everyone stayed away from Elsa's. They still saw her as the wicked ice sorceress that had killed Anna and put Arendelle in eternal winter.
The whole time, Hans acted consolent and cool. He shed not a single tear but kept a straight and serious face the whole ceremony, offering a slight smile or two of welcome to the people.
Kristoff and Sven had sobbed their eyes out the entire week and were both out of tears. Olaf had long since melted to nothingness, and Kristoff had spared not a glance at the snowman. He was no more than a ball of useless snow to him now. He sat stone faced in the front pews, nodding emotionlessly at the consolations and soft murmurings of the crowd. He just wanted all of them to go away. He was empty, sad, and hopeless.
Days stretched into months, and eventually Kristoff began to recover. Hans kept a firm yet good rule on the kingdom, and for such a ruthless looking man with ridiculous sideburns and weird humor guided the kingdom well. He eventually married another lady- second in line to the throne, Princess Amethyst from the Northern Isles. She had copper red hair, the same bright teal eyes and warming humor of Anna, but to Kristoff she was nobody. He didn't care anymore. He barely spared a glance when the queen announced she had twin girls, both mirror images of Anna, but to him not Anna but complete, utter strangers.
One day Kristoff petitioned to have the trolls permanently locked away in the castle dungeons. The fact that they had ruined so many countless lives already saddened and infuriated him to no end. Hans, now king granted his wish, and the trolls were trialed, sentenced, and sent to the castle prisons until they rotted to death- with Kristoff as their personal guard. But as a breath of mercy, the younger trolls were spared and were raised by humans, and the memory of elders like Pabbie and Bulda would eventually dwindle and fade into nothingness in their minds.
A week later, he entered the cell calmly to say his final words to the things that ruined his life. The ugly, useless stone trolls.
"Kristoff, sweet boy." It was Bulda.
He gently shut the door and turned to face the female stone troll. "Yes, prisoner?"
"Would you just call me Bulda, one last time?" She said, her eyes filling with tears.
"You are to address me as the sir." Kristoff replied sharply. "And I am to address you as prisoner."
Silence stretched between them and Kristoff turned back to the door, flipping the lock as he prepared to speak. He heard soft retreating footsteps and knew Bulda had retreated to the far side of the cell, sobbing silently. But he felt no remorse.
"But we are your family." Another voice echoed, a troll named Fern. "We raised you since you were young."
"You STOLE me from my family!" Kristoff roared, slamming his lock shut and leaping to his feet. "I don't even know who they really are! You erased all my memories of them so I would believe I am a troll myself!"
"We've always wanted children..." A third voice came from the shadows. Pabbie was meditating by the prison window, eyes closed.
"Children." Kristoff spat. "Stealing innocent children, ruining human lives, killing people who are undeserving, that's all you do. You trolls are stupid, foolish, and unfit to be on this earth. Be glad I'm jumping into action here and putting an end to your cruelty here."
All the trolls started to sob pathetically and Kristoff lost it. In rage, he yanked open a cell door and grabbed the meditating Pabbie and tossed him outside. Slamming the cell door shut, he turned to face the frightened trolls.
"Line up by the bars, all of you." He commanded furiously, slamming a hand on the iron. The trolls meekly aligned themselves with the iron, trembling.
"And now, watch as I torture the one you love. Watch as I torture ONE as you tortured thousands, probably millions."
"No Kristoff, please no, pleaseeeeee no, spare me..." Pabbie begged, cowering in a corner. He knew exactly what Kristoff was going to inflict him with.
Without a second thought, Kristoff grabbed the wailing Pabbie, and holding him above his head, slammed the stone troll on the cobblestone ground of the prison.
To the horror of all the trolls, the old Pabbie split right in half downwards, half of his stone body falling to the right and the other to the left. THAT was for the late King and Queen of Arendelle.
Kristoff did not stop berating him with beatings, ignoring the screams and cries of the trolls as he smashed Pabbie to pieces. He hurled a chunk on the ground with satisfaction. THAT was for Elsa. As he smashed piece by piece of the troll's body on the stones, he counted off one by one the victims which had suffered from the hands of the trolls. Finally, he picked up the last piece which was Pabbie's head still intact. The old troll's eyes begged him for mercy, but Kristoff gave no mercy.
"I command, by all the gods of the world, that you be cursed to eternal hell forever, fool." With that, he smashed the head to the cobblestones and ground everything to dust under his feet. THAT was for Anna.
Leaving them behind in shock and horror, Kristoff shut off the lights and bolted the door shut for the last time, leaving the trolls to rot forever in the cell.
Lightness settled into his heart after that. Kristoff felt like he had done the right deed, and now it was time to round up Sven and travel to somewhere far, far away- to start a fresh chapter in his life- but would always keep the memory of Anna with him.
The end.
A/N: well, that wraps up for the last part of You Never Fixed Anyone. In my opinion, the trolls got what they deserved. After you've been on this earth for a few thousand years like the trolls have, you should know better than capturing humans and ruining their lives! As a summary, Hans in that turn of events succeeded in taking over Arendelle. Elsa and Anna both died (no pun intended) and Kristoff traveled far away to new journeys. The trolls wasted away lol. Anyways, thanks for reading. Request a chapter or review and I will see you next time:)
