~ Looks like this place could use a bit of misbehavior, happilyeverafterwithalittleflavour
"Merida" Rapunzel dragged her friend's name in a groan "For the last time, you cannot eat all of the cake"
The curly red headed princess rolled her blue eyes, swallowing the chunk of cake that filled her cheeks. Merida licked the icing from the corners of her mouth, "This cake is huge! There's a whole lot for everyone"
"Well not anymore if you devour all of it-Anna! Easy on the krumkake"
Anna giggled and placed the chocolate and cream filled biscuit back down on the platter.
"Yu sound like mah mum" Grumbled Merida as she stabbed her cake with her fork. She didn't not see the flash of pain that crossed Rapunzel's eyes before she schooled her face into a scolding look. It discreetly hurt her to think of how her own child would also grumble as she would not permit him/her to eat too much sweets. A dream... An impossible dream it seemed like, Rapunzel sighed and decided to keep it to herself.
Eugene was chatting with the townsfolk, Rapunzel had to resist herself from rolling her eyes at the dreamy gazes women that had been plastered on their faces the moment Eugene glanced to smile politely at them. She decided against stomping over to her husband and possessively dragging him back to her side, now what would Father say if she did such thing?
She did not have the time to answer her own question when the defeating sound of inhuman shrieks echoed. The courtyard fell silent, musicians stopped playing, people stopped dancing, fear and confusion displayed on each other's faces. Merida had stood up abruptly, Anna following close behind while walking cautiously next to Merida and Rapunzel. All of their senses sharpened, everybody waited and listened carefully.
People jumped at the growing sounds of screaming, the hairs on the back of Anna's neck stood and she grabbed the first thing she saw on the feast table - a candle stand, she held it in both her arms and raised it up defensively. "Raps" She hissed, "You don't suppose you've got screaming contests as part of Corona's midsummer festivities right?" Her poor attempt to joke was interrupted by the blood curling scene before her.
Emerging from the shadows were human-like figures. But they did not look human at all... Their eyes glowed an eerie yellow, their skin was laced with black, their hands were held out, the tips of their fingers sharp like claws. They looked dead, so pale they rivalled Elsa's complexion. Merida held her breath as more of the humanoid figures approached and zombie walked towards the townsfolk whose feet were glued onto the pavement.
It was as if a match flickered to light - Eugene yelled commands to the soldiers, the pale figures whose skin were laced with black, surging through them like veins screamed their inhuman shrieks and leaped themselves at the crowd. People screamed in fear and panic as they attempted to run away from the impossibly fast figures.
Rapunzel felt the familiar yet unwelcome feeling of adrenaline and the fear of possible death wash over her as she grabbed the nearest thing next to her - a glass vase. A ridiculous excuse of a weapon but she had left her sword in her room, an army of inhuman pale figures was the last thing she expected. The hairs of her arms stood on end as she heard the shrieks just behind her, thinking fast she swung the glass vase. Her attempt to protect herself was in vain as the vase only broke and seemed to have little damage.
Rapunzel sprinted away, her heart ramming wildly inside her chest as she scanned the wild courtyard for anything she could use as a potential weapon. She caught the sight of a shining sword on the floor, next to the body of a soldier whose metal plated chest was covered in black. Rapunzel sprinted to it, ignoring the heavy feeling inside her chest at the thought of someone dying in their courtyard. She grasped the sword with shaky hands and acting fast, she swung it behind her where the inhuman figure was leaping for an attack. She gasped at the sound of bones and flesh being torn apart, the heaviness in her chest grew as she watched the black that painted his skin crawl away, revealing the dismembered body of a townsfolk. Rapunzel had to stop herself from vomiting right there - she had killed somebody. And that somebody was her own subject, her eyes seared in pain as she held back crying at the thought. She had only ever hurt people, not kill them. Even during the war against Drago bloodvist she dared not to kill. Rapunzel felt like she was being robbed of her innocence, but she did not have time to linger at the thought as another shriek neared her. Abruptly she raised her blood stand sword to slice through her new opponent but she had been a millisecond too late as it pushed her back and she fell onto the cobblestone floor.
She gazed at the new figure in fear and panic - it had been the soldier she took the sword from. Rapunzel assumed him dead with him lying lifeless on the cold floor but now he was standing, staring at her with his eerie yellow eyes, his skin lacing with black... Sand?
An involuntary shriek of fear escaped her lips as an incredibly large shard of ice pierced through the soldier's chest. The sand escaped again as it crawled away from its puppet whose mouth was now drooling blood. The man seemed momentarily confused before he collapsed - his chest overflowing with ruby rivers. Rapunzel turned to see the person behind the crime - Elsa.
The Queen's eyes were cold and devoid of emotion, she did not look like the colorful scene had effected her. Rapunzel had realized that this was because it wasn't her first time killing, remorse could wait later. This was war.
Elsa gracefully shot an ice blast against another of the black sand puppets, encasing the person inside a block of ice. Rapunzel had faintly caught a glimpse of Merida as the princess' arrows flew through the air, precisely hitting their target. Merida did not have time to acknowledge Rapunzel's presence as she pulled an arrow from the quiver on her waist and stabbed her new opponent who was dangerously bulkier and taller than the red head herself
Anna had dodged an attack, pulling a screaming child away from harm's way and standing in front of the girl. Her usually sparkling ocean blue orbs looked intimidating and fierce as she glared at the puppet and sliced through the evil form without remorse.
Plasma blasts shot through the air, hitting a group of the dark figures that threatened to leap at the whimpering townsfolk. The blurry glow of fire swept past as it sliced and burnt through its opponents, Hiccup visibly winced at the sound of the spine chilling shrieks echoing throughout the now dark space. Deciding to help, Rapunzel gripped her sword and decapitated the puppet who was creeping towards the viking chief. Hiccup spun around to see her and spared her a grateful smile.
"Come to join the party have we Haddock?" Rapunzel teased in attempt to calm her wildly beating heart.
Hiccup burnt another pale humanoid form, it screamed in pain and writhed in pain on the floor as fire devoured him. He stood behind, his own back facing Rapunzel's "Very colorful ain't it?"
The new queen groaned as she stabbed another one of her opponents, feeling more and more scared at how she did not react to the way the sand crawled away to find its new victim, she was afraid she was getting used to it in only a matter of minutes into fighting. "I thought you were out to speak to Elsa about both of your unresolved feelings?"
"I got an invite to a very colorful and gore filled party where we don't seem to be running out of enemies" Hiccup grit his teeth in anger and glared at the trace of black sand slithering on the cobblestone floor, searching for another victim. He already had a very good guess on who was responsible for the destruction and felt like choking the said person.
Suddenly the slither of black sand changed directions, the ones that had townfolk under its command crawled away and followed the rest of its friends. And in the middle of the courtyard stained with blood and littered with dismembered and burnt bodies arose the tall figure of a man. Anna, Elsa, Merida, Hiccup, Rapunzel along with Eugene who had a scratch on his left cheek turned to glare dangerously at the man wearing a sinister smile.
His eyes glowed the same eerie yellow the possessed had, his grey skin and black robe adding more to his sinister look.
Grinning evilly, he chuckled
"Surprise"
