A World In Darkness
Chapter 3:
The Vampire Lord
It had been two weeks since the vampires had came to Arendelle and everyone in the kingdom began to lose the tension of fear. They had hoped and prayed dearly that it would be the last time they ever see a vampire.
The afternoon had been rather beautiful, the sun was shining brightly with thick large clouds in the sky. Though the people had been weary since the loss of their loved ones and seeing them die so viciously. They did the best they could have done to save themselves, the queen most of all. No one harbored ill will towards their beloved Queen, she had done her best to protect them with the snowmen and when she had confronted four vampires, yes she gave it her all but those horrid monsters had overpowered her.
In the castle, Elsa and Anna sat on the floor together using the couch to lean on. Both women were drinking tea in comfortable silence, Anna had leaned on Elsa, resting her head on her shoulder. With burials and repairs to the town Elsa had been really busy almost non-stop, with her sister convincing her to take a brake she had finally relented and complied with Anna's wishes. So the two had sat on the floor rather than the couch and took comfort from one another.
Sighing contently, Anna spoke softly. "You know, Kristoff and I were thinking about having a Spring Wedding. What do you think?"
Elsa smiled softly and leaned on Anna's head. "Spring will be beautiful. The flowers will be in full bloom."
"...Do you think... That people can live forever?"
Slightly stunned Elsa looked at her. "No... Why would you think that?"
"You heard what that man said, that Dracula's son had overthrew him two hundred years ago."
"Anna it's just not possible for anyone to live that long, those vampires had to have been lying."
Anna sat silently for a long time. She knew Elsa was scared of those creatures, she was just trying to hide it by putting up a brave front to reassure the people. But that was okay, Anna was terrified of them. When they had read the journal of their great-great-great grandparent, she had written that she lost four siblings to the vampires. If Elsa kept going out there to fight them off, did that mean she would lose her? Anna subconsciously held onto Elsa tighter, she didn't want to lose her like she lost her parents. Her sister was all that she had left.
"I don't think think they were..."She finally spoke. Before Elsa had the chance to say anything, Kristoff busted through door looking panicked.
"Elsa! The same vampires are back!"
"What? But the sun is still up! How are they here?!"
"The clouds are blocking the sun, they're using it to shield themselves!" The ice user shot up from the floor and began running towards the gates with Kristoff and Anna trailing behind her.
"H-How many people did they kill this time?" Elsa hesitantly asked.
Kristoff frowned. "None." That alone made Elsa stop running completely. She looked at her future brother-in-law in confusion. "They're here, but they're not attacking anyone." He said. He was just at confused as she was. Anna suddenly felt dread fill her heart, her sister will be going out there to face them again, and this time Anna just dreadfully knew that they would be waiting for her. She grabbed Elsa's arm before she could run again.
"Wait! Please don't go out there!"
Confused, Elsa pulled on her arm. "What? I have to go-"
"No! Elsa please! I just know something bad will happen if you go out there! Don't go..." Anna desperately clung onto her for dear life.
"Anna they're not attacking anyone, if I don't go out there they just might start taking lives again-"
"Just to get you to go out there! Please stay inside! I'm the princess so I'll go-"
"No Anna! Absolutely not! I will not let you go out there to face them and I don't ever want to hear you say something like that again!"
"But Elsa-"
Elsa ignored her sister and turned to Kristoff. "Please look after her Kristoff." With that said, she turned and ran outside as fast as she could. When she stepped into the center of town, she noticed that the four of them were in their human forms just standing there, waiting. When they noticed her arrival each of them smirked. She couldn't help but shiver as they focused on her, perhaps they really wanted something from her.
Josette took a step forward. "Your Highness-"
"Leave!" Elsa glared at them, she wanted them to never return. "Go on! Get out of here! Don't come back!" She began to ready herself to send them back with her powers.
The blonde haired vampire stepped forward and growled at her. "Oh we intend to leave this place but not without you."
She involuntary stepped back. "What do you want from me?"
"You'll know when you arrive." With that said, the four vampires transformed and with speed Elsa had never witness before, charged towards her. Elsa had just barely managed to shied herself with ice, without wasting time she began to fling many shards of ice towards them however, they were much faster at dodging her attacks this time. The brown haired vampire had almost grabbed but then he was tackled to the ground by several towns folk.
"You leave our Queen alone!"
"We will never let you have her!"
The towns people began piling onto the vampire, knowing that the creature had incredible amount of strength they held onto him tightly even as he began flinging some people, they had returned with more piling onto him.
"Get the ropes!"
"A stake to the heart!"
The black haired vampire flown over the people to free his comrade until he was struck down by Marshmellow and his brethren snowmen. The vampire snarled and with all his might he pushed back the snowmen grabbing one by the leg he took off in the air and threw it into the ocean to drown. He noticed that others snow abominations were heading towards him. The vampire gave an annoyed 'tsk' before he charged straight down at them.
Elsa watched the scene before and she couldn't help but smile. Everyone was fighting back! They could win this! And just to their luck, the clouds began to move letting the sun shine directly over them.
The towns people jumped back as the brown haired vampire they tied up had suddenly starting smoking. He tore the ropes, flying into the air he screamed in agony as his body burned painfully in the sun. His skin smoked and burned, and quickly as he burned he became nothing but ashes.
Everyone stared silently as they witnessed their first vampire death. Suddenly they all threw their hands in the air and shouted as they rejoiced. Elsa was relieved that they had taken care of a vampire long enough for the sun to return from the clouds, but then her relief turned to dread. One vampire had died, but where were the other three?
Elsa looked around quickly as she could, she turned and circled around but she could not find them. Could they have died by the sun without them noticing? Or were they hiding? Her frantic search did not go unnoticed by the people as they had come realize that there other vampires left. Elsa looked up at the sky and noticed the clouds were moving directly under the sun, which meant that at any moment the vampires could return as soon as the sun was behind the clouds.
The people became tense as they watched the last of the sunlight disappear. At that moment, the vampires were in the air again, they looked very angry.
"The Master will be furious now that Crowley has died." Josette growled. The three vampires shot down towards the people, this taking them in air and taking their lives.
The people began screaming in fright as they desperately ran from being the next victim. Elsa shot more ice at the closest vampire which happened to be the blonde haired one. He gave her a hard gaze as he caught one of the ice shards and shattered it with his hand.
With wide eyes, Elsa had just realized she was no match. But that wouldn't stop her from trying to save her people! Glaring at the blonde floating not far from her, she gather twice the amount of shards and forced them towards the vampire who had effortlessly dodged them. However-
"Elsa look out!" A quick glance towards Anna who had a fearful expression, Elsa had just barely realized her mistake, the blonde vampire was distracting her. Turning around she saw the black haired vampire rush towards her. Elsa felt the air being knocked out of her as she was roughly grabbed. Looking down she realized she was in the air and in the arms of a vampire. Everything suddenly felt like it was moving slowly, the towns people had stopped running and looked towards the sky where they saw their Queen in the arms of a beast, shock, fear and anger at what they had saw.
Elsa looked at her sister, Anna had the most devastating look on her face. She reached out towards her. "Anna!" She felt the wings flap and she noticed that Anna was getting further from her, she was being taken. She watched as her sister chased after her along with Kristoff and the towns people.
"ELSA!" The bloodcurdling cry of her sister was last thing she had heard.
Her mind was blank as she was being carried over the trees, rivers and mountains. She didn't know how long she was out of it, but the shock had finally dissipated. Elsa was furious! How dare they attack her people and take her from her home! The rage within her had her struggling to free herself from the black haired vampire that held her.
He grunted as she hit his chest. "Will you knock it off! I'll drop you if you keep doing that!"
But Elsa didn't care, she pounded her fists onto his chest, arms and even head. She kick and struggled to set herself free. "Let me go monster! Release me!"
"Ruthen control her!" Josette growled.
"I'm trying! She won't stop squirming!" He grunted when she hit close to his throat.
"Well you better try harder, the sun is coming out." The blonde haired vampire said as he passed the struggling duo and made a dive towards the mountain.
Elsa's eyes widen as they all dived to take cover from the sun. It was her chance to escape! Elsa formed ice on her hand, she slammed it onto her carrier's head. He let out a startled gasp releasing her from his hold. Elsa screamed as fell through a tree, she tried grabbing branches to stop her fall but it didn't support her. She fell from the tree and landed on a shrubbery.
Despite the pain all over her body, Elsa ran towards the sun where she would be safe. She looked around and noticed that the vampires where hiding from the sun and she had no doubt that they would be back for her when sun went away. She looked up towards the sky and focused on the clouds, she guessed she had a good three minutes before they blocked the sun. Elsa looked further at the sky and noticed just a little further that there less clouds and more sun. She ran as quickly as she could, using her ice and snow as leverage.
Elsa reached the edge of the mountain, she made a quick glance at the sky. One minute. The was an ocean just below the mountain, with more sun. Elsa took a deep breath and jump off the edge. She created an ice slide to help her get to the bottom quickly, she sent snow on the ground to break her fall. She rolled and stumbled but got right back up and ran on the ocean freezing the water as she went.
The clouds had covered the sun, but not over there. She could make it! Elsa ran forward quickly, she could already hear the wings from the vampires coming towards her. She could hear her heart pounding loudly as she heard them just above her. Elsa practically dived into the water where the sun hit, she thrashed in the water rising in the surface she quickly made ice over the water and climbed on it. She gasped for air as she turned to face her hunters.
They were floating in the heavy shade the clouds provided for them, they glared angrily at her but their eyes were wide and their teeth looked longer.
"You may have escaped us now your highness," Josette said. "But the smell of your blood will lead us to you."
It had just registered to Elsa that she had a few cuts and scratches on herself, she looked at the three and realized why their eyes were wide. They were hungry for her blood. She backed away and sprinted away as fast as she could across the ocean, she would have to get as far away as she could as long as the sun was still out, she had no option in stopping.
Elsa had never ran so far or so fast in her life, she was exhausted. She had stopped running several time to catch her breath, to take a break and rest her throbbing limbs. It was a couple of hours later when Elsa found land again, she nearly collapsed onto the ground breathing heavily though tired as she was, Elsa had crawled towards the water and began washing the blood from her skin. If they could smell her blood then she would hide her smell.
She had taken a moment to look herself over. She had scrapes on her arms and legs, her dress was torn in several places, and her reflection. Elsa looked at her reflection in the water. Her face shown that she was clearly exhausted, she had few dirt spots on her cheeks, strands of her hair had come loose from her braid. Tiredly she reached for her braid and undid it, letting her hair fall onto her back and part of her face.
Elsa looked up at the sky. The sun was nearly setting.
Standing up, Elsa walked towards the woods. She would find a good hiding spot to rest, once she did before the sun had set, she placed a patch of snow on the dirt and made a dome of ice to shield her. She lay on the snow and instantly fell asleep.
When Elsa woke up the first thing that her mind had registered was how much pain she was in. Her muscles were stiff and unimaginably sore. She groaned as she moved her limbs, trying to sit up slowly. Elsa carefully removed the ice shaped dome, the sun shined brightly over her and relief flooded her immediately, she had escaped for the night and it seemed like the rest of the day until night falls.
Elsa stood up nearly crying out as pain shot through her legs. She fell on her knees as she gasps, she stood again slowly but the pain was still there. Elsa slowly began to walk using trees and boulders to steady herself from falling. Each step she took was more painful then the last but she kept through, she had to get back home and to reassure her sister that she was alright.
Elsa had been so focused on ignoring her pain she had not realized the clouds that began to loom over her. It wasn't until she heard the crackling of thunder did she notice. She whipped her up to the sky, the clouds were dark and ready to rain- She heard the sound of wings flapping.
'No! No! NO!' Elsa thought as she ran through the woods, her pain had doubled causing her stumble on a fallen branch. She semi rolled down a small hill, forcing herself to stand Elsa turned and standing in front of her was Josette in her human form. The vampire hissed angrily, she slapped Elsa across the face sending her to the floor roughly.
"You little wench!" The redhead growled. "Did you really think that you could escape from us!?" Elsa slowly got to her knees, she placed her hand on her cheek. "Look at me little queen." When she didn't look at the vampire Josette hissed and roughly grabbed the blonde woman by the hair. "You'd be wise not ignore someone who can easily kill you!... The Master was very displeased when he learned you had escaped from us, because of you he is angry with me and I do not like to make the Master angry!" Josette pulled on Elsa's hair, forcing her to stand, the vampire grabbed her by the throat lifting her from the ground.
"That's enough Josette!" Arthur appeared by the woman grabbing her by the shoulder, though she merely hissed at the blonde vampire. "Do not displease the Master more then he already is."
With a growl Josette dropped Elsa to the ground. Her hand immediately went to her neck as she gasped desperately for air. Arthur kneeled down to Elsa, placing his hand under her chin forcing her to look at him. He glared dangerously at her. "If you try to escape from us again trust me when I say you will not to live once I'm through with you. Do I make myself clear?" Elsa nodded slowly, knowing she lost and can never go back home. She made no move to fight off the vampire as he placed his arms on her back and under legs, she covered her face with her hands as they flew in the air. She had refused to cry in front of them but her body was shaking profusely.
It had been quite a while when Elsa had finally decided to remove her hands from her face. She blinked several times to get her vision in order, when looked off to the side she noticed that it had become very dark. The moon was shining brightly in the sky and the stars had littered the sky. Elsa silently gasped to herself, she had never seen so many stars before! She looked down below her and noticed an old and very large castle, it looked ominous to her. She noticed that they were heading in that very direction and Elsa subconsciously edged closer to the vampire holding her.
Couldn't they have gone somewhere less creepy? Though she supposed it was rather fitting for them.
When they landed in front of the wooden gates Arthur placed Elsa down, she nearly fell to the ground since her legs were still pretty stiff and incredibly sore but Arthur caught her and held her upright. The gates had opened, Josette went forward first followed by Arthur with Elsa.
Though she walked stiffly and felt that her limbs were on fire, Elsa walked forward with her head held high despite her somewhat haggered appearance. She was curious enough to look around the interior of the castle and what she saw had amazed her. It was old as it had appeared but so beautiful. Gold embroidery on dark purple walls, the pillars were stone instead of wood, on each side held two metal torches and the fires blazed brightly. Elsa looked up at the ceiling noticing a few windows on the side with velvet red curtains with silver embroidery on the side of each curtain.
Looking forward again, there were two hallways. One on the right had a door at the end and the left hallway went further: They were heading towards the left. Elsa had looked out the windows they had passed, the castle was bigger then she expected, noticing how the castle connected from the ground and higher with a few lit torches hanging off the walls.
Without noticing they had come to stop at really large double doors. Elsa suddenly felt like something not so good was about to happen. The doors had opened but neither vampire had stepped inside, in fact they both looked at her expectantly. They had received confused looks from her which caused the blonde haired vampire to roll his eyes and shove her inside. Stumbling inside Elsa looked back at the vampires only to see the double doors close behind her.
Slightly creeped out she cautiously walked forward while looking around the room she was trapped in. It was pretty much barren except for a few steps and a large wooded chair. Walking towards the center of the room where she stood directly under the moonlight -which was suppose to be a very large circular window was in fact just a very large hole in the ceiling- Elsa gazed towards the single chair in the room and wondered who sat there.
The sound of the door creaking had her whipping her head back but she saw no one, however, she did notice that the door was closing. So someone had opened it. Elsa had the distinct feeling like she was being watched. She looked around the barren room, then her eyes landed on the chair. Someone was sitting on the chair. Male too.
Elsa blinked before registering that there was someone a few feet away from her. They way the man sat in the chair indicated he was very relaxed and clearly amused. He wore all black except for the white cravat on his neck, this man was quite pale a little more paler than she was, he had white hair and sharp blue eyes. This man in front of her was clearly the most handsome man she had ever seen, but she wouldn't admit that out loud. She couldn't help but frown when she noticed a smirk on his face.
The handsome man stood and began walking towards her. "So good to see you finally, Queen Elsa." His voice was deep and husked, it nearly sent shivers down her spine. She opted to ask how he knew her but chose to remain silent instead. Her eyes followed him as he circled her as if she was prey, considering that she was in a house of vampires, she probably was. "I was rather amused that you gave my vampires such a hard time. I was even just a tiny bit surprised that you managed to escape from them." The white haired man stepped closer to her nearly arms length away, but his closeness made her heart beat fast with unease.
"Who are you?" She was rather surprised how steady her voice was.
The man's smirk had widen. "Oh where are my manners?" He said mockingly. "My name is Jack Frost, and I am the Vampire Lord."
Elsa's eyes widen. She was in front of the leader of vampires! She could not be in a worse situation than this she was sure! "W-Why am I here?" She hesitantly asked.
"Hmm." His hand reached out and cupped her chin. "You're here to be my bride."
Everything had suddenly felt like it had stopped, she even felt like she had stopped breathing. Her heart was pounding in her chest painfully, her mind felt as if it had become hazy like everything was becoming a blur. But when she looked into his eyes she felt like she was being pulled- Pulled into something she didn't know. What was it that he just said? A bride? What about it? Oh, that's right, he said that she would be his bride. Then Elsa snapped out of her trance.
"No- No!" She shoved him away from her but he didn't budge so she took several steps back and glared at him. "I'm not your bride!" She was wrong, it could get worse.
The smirk on his face did not falter, it was as if he had expected this sort of reaction from her. "Oh, but you are."
"No! I will never be your bride!" She watched him chuckle as if she had said something amusing. It had made her angry that he had the audacity to mock her. He took a step towards her which she instinctively took a step back but that didn't deter him as he continued closer to her. The door was not that far from her so Elsa made to run to it but as soon as she turned around Jack was right in front her. She yelped in surprised as she fell backwards, but he kept coming towards her not exactly giving her the time to get up. Out of instinct she used her powers on him. She got him right in the face.
He stopped moving and Elsa felt dread well up inside of her. She swallowed thickly as the frost around his face disappeared and the look on his face surprised her. He had a maddening grin on his face. He pounced on her and she screamed in surprise. He was on top of her and she was too frozen in fear to move, he leaned his face closer to hers.
"You don't have a choice in the matter, my Queen."
She felt his hand around her neck and everything suddenly became black.
I know I'm kind of a jerk for ending it there. But hey, I really like suspense. You probably wanted romance and all that stuff but sorry guys you're going to have to wait a little longer before that happens. Really sorry about that! (Not really.) Though it is because I really want to portray Jack as the evil vampire with no heart that will (eventually though later) fall in love with a human. And you kind of have to admit that there has to be hate before love- Also Elsa had just been kidnapped from her home and being forced to be Jack's bride, so she kinda hates him at the moment. A bond will form between them but I can picture the both of them being rather stubborn.
Well anyway tell me what you guys thought about it! Thanks for reading! ~SS.
