Author's note. Time to guess the character is up. This chapter has a song. Just so you know my songs will be written a little differently.
The snow Queen slowly regained consciousness. The blurs surrounding bombarding her eyes took form and the surroundings became clear. She was in a dungeon of some sort. There was a great multitude of cells down the hallway. As Elsa took in her surroundings, she bolted awake and one thought began to monopolize her mind.
"Rosetta? Where are you dear? Rosetta?" Elsa shouted out. She began to panic and tears began to form in her eyes.
"Anna! Answer me please!" Elsa yelped.
"Mama?" Rosetta called from her right.
"Oh sweetie, you're ok." Elsa tried to hug her daughter but she realized that her hands were bound. Thinking quickly, she tried to use her ice powers to cut the ropes. But her valiant efforts were in vain.
"Mama, I'm scared" Rosetta whimpered. Elsa renewed her efforts to set herself free so that she could hold her daughter and sister but she could not even fray the merciless snare.
"I know sweetie, It's ok, I'm here." Elsa cooed while desperately fighting the evil snare of the ropes so that she could make contact with her little girl. Her ears picked up the sound of heavy footsteps. A large but slender man walked down the stairs.
"Hans!" Anna gasped. Hans chuckled.
"Yes I have returned. I have come to secure the throne and-"Hans was suddenly knocked to the ground. On his back was a bird, a cockatoo to be exact.
"No one steals my scene" The cockatoo said. Everyone gasped in shock.
"did you just talk?" Anna asked. The cockatoo let out a strange laugh.
"I, Nigel can do more than just talk." Nigel said. The others winced at his unattractiveness. He made a beeline towards Anna and Elsa.
Song
Nigel: Oh I know I'm not a pretty birdie. But I used to be quite, the looker, a star. Lights, camera, action! I was striking suave, feet to beak. Now I'm vile, I am villainous, and vicious…oh and malicious.
I had it all, a theater show, women too. I was tall, over one foot two. Then they got a pretty parakeet to fill my shoes. That's why I am so evil, why I do what I do.
Anna: he was a superstar?
Nigel: so young and vital
Rosetta: he's nasty
Nigel: a south American idol
Elsa: he's a suspicious bird
Nigel: who said that about me?
Anna: A very vicious bird
Nigel: I'll have you rotisseried!
I was the king of telling novellas
The envy of all the other fellows
Then I was pushed out for a Pretty Polly parakeet from Paraguay they called Patricious
Common Paraguayan name
Rosetta: He's a nasty bird
Nigel: I'm insidious
Elsa: He's ghastly
Nigel: Oh I'm hideous
Anna: he was a real macaw?
Nigel: I'm a cockatoo
Elsa: an obscene bird
Nigel: yes that word's true
I'm a feather freak, with a beak, a Queen murderer. You think your badder than me? I never heard of ya, I'm evil, I'll fill your chocolate with weevils. I poop on monarchs and I blame it on seagulls
Elsa:…that was YOU!?
Rosetta: He's a nasty bird
Nigel: I'm invincible
Anna: He's ghastly
Nigel: I'm unminceable. Unwashable, unrinsible, like an abandoned school, I have no principal
This really royal crew
All with blood of blue. I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to make you
Everyone else:aaaahh
Nigel: shut up…it's just me. I will make you ugly too. Sweet nightmares
End of song
Nigel extended his talons and grabbed Elsa by the collar. He shoved her to the ground and cackled. He took flight towards a shadowy figure in the corner nearby. The stranger extended his arm and Nigel gracefully landed on it, careful not to pierce his flesh with his razor sharp talons. The cockatoo crawled up his shoulder and the cloaked figure stroked the former's crest.
"Excellent work Nigel. It is pathetic that one cockatoo has served me better than several mercenaries" the man cheered the strange bird. Elsa's eyes widened as she heard that voice struggled to get off the floor.
"Anthrax!" Elsa gasped.
"Newsflash , doll-face, as far as your concerned, my name is master" Anthrax replied coolly.
"As far as you're concerned, drop dead" Elsa snarled. Anthrax snapped his fingers,
"Nigel" Anthrax ordered. The cockatoo understood and swooped in on Rosetta and extended her talons. The little girl cowered away. Nigel was about to slice her throat when Anthrax snapped his fingers again.
"Nigel, alive" Anthrax snapped.
"To be continued" Nigel chirped and with that, he silently returned to his master's shoulder.
"What are your orders…master" Elsa reluctantly sighed. She would rather die than call him that again. But she knew that Anthrax would torture her daughter and sister if she opposed him directly. Anthrax conjured a piece of paper in his hands
"I'm not here to make you my attendant. I'll make you a deal, see this contract? Read it" Anthrax said calmly. With that the ropes binding Elsa evaporated and Elsa extended her hands. The document floated into them. Elsa carefully read the scroll. She read it several times to make sure that she understood exactly what it said.
"….so you want me to perform seven tasks….errands if you will. Within seven days, during which you will not harm my sister and daughter, and in turn-"Elsa was cut off by Anthrax
"And in turn, I will set you and your family free. Should you fail or refuse any of the tasks I give you, the last thing you will see is Rosetta being broken, bone by bone." Anthrax finished with a bone chilling smirk. Elsa scanned the room for a pen. Anthrax shook his head.
"No, this contract is binding. Not even my powers can render it null and void. Should you succeed I must keep my word. But for the magic to work, it needs to be signed, in blood." Anthrax said coolly before taking a small dagger and slicing his arm, he spilled the blood on the paper. The blood formed the word "Anthrax" and vanished. Elsa expected anthrax to draw her blood himself with a deep cut but to her surprise he simply handed her the tool. She pricked her finger and dotted the blood. The red liquid stretched and spelled out her name before evaporating. He turned to the younger girls.
"Oh but before we start, I actually do have one little job for you two. I don't care who does it." Anthrax said with an evil grin.
"and what might that be?" Anna snarled. Anthrax stared at her and chuckled.
"Feed Nigel" Anthrax concluded. Anna's bravado disappeared at those two words. Nigel eyed the two evilly and winked.
