Roy: Hey…uh…yeah I kinda finished early and its sort of 4:30 am in the morning so here it is. Ta-da!

Roy: Jake and Twista are still asleep (obviously) so I am all alone here. I would like to thank the reviewers and I will be replying today.

CoccinelleMenthol: I honestly agree with that but Elsa avoids violence as she said in our story. She will be involved in combat soon though if that's what you're looking for. Also, Edgar himself said he would handle it alone.

PurplePenguin13MI: Yeah i thought of that, thanks! Glad you like Edgar haha

Roy: Well here it is! Enjoy! If it's bad then sorry, I'm an insomniac who tries to proof read alone okay? I need to get a cup of coffee.

Chapter 3: Meaning

Anna 3rd Person POV

Being snatched away from your boyfriend and getting thrown into a sack wasn't as bad as compared to being carried inside a box that was shut tight as you were carried by careless brutes that rock the thing left and right.

Anna for the hundredth time grunted in annoyance as she fell to the right inside the box. She honestly did not expect this. It was just a peaceful night with Kristoff until she was bagged by these guys and carried off to who know where.

The box was metal and was big enough for her to lay in and stand but it was shut tight as if it was meant o keep some wild animal in.

Even inside the box she could smell how bad these guy's stenches were. Some smelled like a wet dog, some smelled like rotten meat while some peculiarly smelled like fish. It was weird because they were nowhere near a body of water that wasn't frozen over for the winter.

She got knocked this time to the left and she banged on the box once again and said "Hey!"

"Quiet down girlie," said a gruff voice, "I haven't had a sleep in a while and I'm quite irritable."

She slumped in defeat and hugged her legs as she held the necklace Kristoff had given her. It had been a while since they started being together and she wondered when he would pop the question. She knew he wasn't like Hans and he truly loved her and she returned the feelings as well.

Her green eyes looked over the golden snowflake on the necklace that Kristoff saved months for. It was truly one of the greatest gifts of her life the others being with her sister again and of course the existence of chocolate itself.

For a day now she was worried on what would happen to her. She heard of these things happening and girls being sold as slaves, workers and even sacrifices but she herself was a bit terrified of what could happen.

Just then, she was dropped hard on the ground and hit her head as she peeped out of a small hole and saw two soldiers in uniform with a tribal emblem on their uniform as the person carrying her said "We got the red head."

"Good," said a raspy voice that stepped out of the shadows,

Anna looked a bit to the left and saw a cloaked figure who wore a mask that gave her shivers down her spine. The mask's beady and demonic eyes pierced her as the man inspected the box while the mask's bloody grin was sharp and unmoving.

"Did you leave any witnesses?" asked the masked man,

"We weren't supposed to?" asked a bandit,

Suddenly a bumping sound was heard that came from somewhere Anna didn't see and the large grunt said "We left none, it was all alone."

"Alright," said the masked man, "that completes our deal then."

"What is so important about the target anyway?" asked a bandit,

"That thing is a demon," said a soldier, "it has committed a dastardly crime and the king demands justice against it. I hope they put it to death just like monsters like it deserve to be dealt with."

Anna covered her mouth in shock and listened impossibly unbelieving on what could one do to be hated so much and be called a demon.

The man tapped the box as the mask came in close and said "Hello demon, remember me your old chum Kaiser? We're going to have so much fun back home."

The red headed girl was silent since if she said it wasn't the person they were looking for she would die because she knew too much. They would certainly kill her and she didn't want that.

The man called Kaiser then scoffed and said "Silent as usual huh? It won't matter, the king awaits you."

Anna's box was then thrown into somewhere dark and creepy with silence. The girl silently hugged her knees and whimpered in the darkness. She was scared.

A few minutes later, bread and a small jug of water was put inside the box through a entrance that was only accessible from the outside. The box was cold since it was made of metal and almost no light came in.

The box was swaying left and right and she guessed she was on a boat but the question was a boat to where?

Elsa 3rd Person POV

Soon, the group had come to a stop for the night since traveling after dark was dangerous and terrible even with a sled. Kristoff himself suggested it since wolves were very active at night and tended to hunt moving objects such as sleds with loud red heads and happy-go-lucky blondes coming from Kristoff's experience.

They were at the base of the mountain where a small unfrozen spring was located outside a dark cave that they would be camping in. Elsa was surprised that there was such a place like this in the winter.

Dropping whatever firewood he and Olaf had collected, Kristoff tried to light it with his flints but to no avail as he said "Dang, all this wood is wet from the snow. I don't think we'll be able to light anything."

Sven whined while Kristoff gave him a voiceover and said "But it's so cold Kris."

The blonde gave the reindeer's head a rub and said "It's alright buddy, we'll get something."

Edgar, who was rubbing his hands vigorously under the cold looked at Elsa and said "Does that happen often?"

"You'll get used to it," said Elsa as she sat down gracefully, not even moved by the cold,

The red head's teeth chattered as he said "Stupid cold…"

"So Mister big and tough can't handle the night's breeze huh?" asked Kristoff teasingly,

Olaf opened his arms and said "I'll give you a warm hug if you'd like?"

Edgar shook his head and scowled as he said "I can, it's just that there's no fire."

Elsa checked her canteen and said "We're out of water; I'll get some water outside."

Kristoff put on his snow cap and said "I'll go look for some dry wood."

Olaf followed Elsa and said "I'll follow Queen Elsa."

Sven followed Kristoff as Edgar was left alone inside the dark cave with several pieces of wet fire wood. Outside, Elsa crouched down the spring as she put water inside the canteen and looked at the starry night sky.

Stars glimmered above her while she thought of her sister and gave a sigh. Olaf looked at her and said "Queen Elsa are you alright?"

She adjusted her hair and said "I'm fine Olaf, just worried about Anna."

"I am too Queen Elsa," said Olaf, "She's my friend and I hope she's alright."

"I do too Olaf," said Elsa, "knowing Anna she's fine but we need to get her back."

"How about Edgar?" said Olaf, "everyone fights with him even you and Kristoff but why do you do that?"

"What do you mean Olaf?"

The snowman fiddled with his hands and said "I mean, he's really nice and cool even if he is a little rude at times but he's just being honest like me!"

"Olaf," started Elsa, "Your honest is kind and innocent while his is rude and disrespectful."

She looked at the cave and said "And how he says is none of my business when I ask a personal question, it's as if he has a heart of ice."

Suddenly from the cave, a bright light appeared which made Elsa and Olaf run to the cave to see Edgar warming himself against the fire and he said "Hey, I got it going."

"How did you do that?" asked Elsa, "the wood was wet."

The red head held up a flint and said "Just take a magic touch."

Elsa raised a brow and sat down and watched Edgar warm his hands and around the fire and Elsa said "You really like the warmth don't you?"

"Yeah," said Edgar, "reminds me of home."

"What was your home like?" asked Elsa,

Edgar looked her in the eye as she expected him to say 'None of Your Business' but he simply could not say no to Elsa's questioning frozen blue eyes. Closing his bronze orbs he reopened them as he met Elsa's eyes which were illuminated by the fire and he said "My home was great as a child, my father was almost never there but my mother, her brother my uncle, and of course my sister were always there for me."

Elsa smiled as his face brightened up to the warm memories and she remembered how she and Anna used to play as children before the accident happened. Those were days of joy with their parents' love.

"Mine was like that too," said Elsa, "my sister and I would play together everyday while our parents loved us with all their hearts."

Edgar's face then darkened and said "Then one day…my mother died and everything went wrong."

"How wrong?" asked Elsa,

Edgar decided to drop it since he did not want to dwell on his painful past so he closed his fists, laid his head on the ground on his bag and said "None of your business Queen Elsa. I'm going to bed; I need to wake up early."

Olaf who had fallen asleep was away from the fire while Kristoff came in with some wood and he said "I think this could do it but-"

He gaped at the roaring fire and said "How did-"

"Edgar lit it," said Elsa,

Kristoff dropped the wood and mumbled something about 'showoff red heads' while Sven went near Olaf and took his position to sleep while Elsa did the same on the other side of the fire and said "Good night everyone"

The cold night's wind blew in reply while Elsa felt herself go into a deep sleep.

The Next Day

Elsa woke up to see Kristoff putting his things on the sled while Edgar was already on the sled continuing to sleep. Olaf poked Elsa and said "Good morning Queen Elsa!"

"Good morning Olaf," said Elsa as she yawned and scratched her head in habit,

Edgar slowly came awake once more and laughed out loud as he looked at Elsa and said "Wow nice hair Queen Frizzy! Hahaha oh great that's rich!"

He was covering his eyes laughing so hard while Kristoff was covering his mouth as he laughed while Elsa quickly pulled made a mirror of ice like she practiced and saw that her hair was a complete and utter mess.

Like her sister, she always had a massive and uncontrollable bed head in the morning and like her sister, she freaked as she took a tinge of red in her face and said "No one look!"

Edgar and Kristoff were turned away while Elsa made a comb of ice and started to tame her hair as best as she could and it took a good ten minutes and when she was done, Olaf gave her a thumbs up and said "If I had hair I'd want nice hair like that Queen Elsa!"

Elsa smiled as she put her bag on her back and felt her long braid of snow white hair behind her back. Edgar scoffed while Kristoff said "We're almost there Queen Elsa, in about four hours we'll be there and hopefully Anna is too."

A few hours of travel later, as they were closing in on the Brawler Cabin, Edgar was cleaning his snow white rapier and said "Look, when we get there, I want you two to keep quiet while I do that talking and when it comes to the fighting, leave it to me."

"I can hold my own in a fight too if I have to," said Kristoff,

"Do you know how to hold a sword?" asked Edgar with a brow raised,

"Well…no" admitted Kristoff,

"Then leave it to me," said Edgar with a scowl,

Elsa wanted to say that she could handle herself, like that time those two tried to kill her a few months back when she accidentally cast an eternal winter on Arendelle. Edgar then saw her look and said "Got something to say Queen Frizzy?"

She narrowed her eyes and said "Still no respect huh?"

"This is as much respect as you'll get from me," said Edgar with a shrug,

Kristoff rolled his eyes while Elsa said "I can handle myself when it comes to that, I have enough control over my talents to defend myself."

"Are you sure?" asked Edgar,

"Of course," said Elsa, "Why do you ask?"

"Just making sure"

They came to a stop before the shabby looking cabin where singing and loud noises could be heard from the inside. Edgar hopped off the sled and said "Shall we?"

The two nodded while Olaf said "I'm coming too!"

"Sorry buddy," said Kristoff, "this isn't an ideal place for a snowman."

Olaf frowned and said "Okay…"

"But you can keep Sven company, can you do that?" asked Elsa,

Olaf smiled and nodded while Edgar said "He's a nice snowman once you get to know him."

"Everybody likes him," said Elsa, "especially the kids."

Kristoff then looked at the Cabin and said "The guys who took Anna are in there."

"What did they look like?" asked Elsa,

"I only saw one," said Kristoff, "he was huge and he held a mallet about twice the size of my head."

"Must have been some hammer," grumbled Edgar,

Kristoff growled and said "What did you say?"

"Nothing," said Edgar in a bored manner, "come on"

They entered the Cabin to be met with several piercing gazes. The inside was like any other thugs bar, it had a bar table, several tables where different groups drank and ate, a dart board and of course the standard arm wrestling table.

Edgar carelessly walked past them to the bar where the bartended was cleaning glasses and Edgar said "Good day I would like to ask if you saw someone wearing a mask."

This caught some people's attention causing Elsa and Kristoff to shift in their places while the bartender put down the glass and said "What kind of mask?"

Edgar looked his in the eye and said "You know, the scary kind, the one that looks like a demon with bloody lips and fangs."

Suddenly, a big brute came out from a door across the room and said "What do you want about Kaiser?"

"He is a lot bigger than what I remembered," whispered Kristoff to Elsa who glared at the said blonde,

Edgar grinned and said "Ahh so it's you, the one who kidnapped a girl with red hair two nights ago."

The big brute in the bearskin cloak said "Yeah then what about it?"

Frost started to creep all over the place without them knowing as Elsa growled in her throat and then Edgar said "What did you do with the girl?"

"Why would you want to know?" asked the brute,

"Let's say that you had the wrong target. Let's say that the red head you were sent to capture was me. How did Kaiser describe me? Red hair and two-"

"Two blades," said a mercenary, "One pitch black and one snow white."

Edgar opened his cloak to reveal said blades while the a thug said "Bearclaw! We hit the wrong person! Maybe if we get him then we'll get-"

"Double the payment," said Bearclaw who hefted his hammer,

"What did you do with her?" asked Elsa dangerously,

"She's on the boat to Kaiser's country," said Bearclaw, "they were talking about him when they said demon but I wonder why?"

"You don't want to know," said Edgar dangerously,

Blood roared in Kristoff's ears as he hear Anna being sent to a distant country and then Elsa said "Where did they go?"

"We're not talking," said Bearclaw, "In fact, we'll take the red head here and deliver him for more payment."

Just then, Edgar kicked Bearclaw in the jaw sending him back as he drew his rapiers and said "I guess we have a fight on our hands."

Elsa took off her gloves while Kristoff awkwardly held his fists up and then Bearclaw said "Get them!"

All the bandits in the cabin charged at them while Edgar jumped in to begin the brawl. Elsa was on one side, fighting off bandits with her power over ice as she froze them in place, pinned them with icicles and even pushing them away with gusts of wind.

Kristoff yelped as he dodged mace by a bandit who got it stuck on a table while Kristoff punched him hard on the jaw and gave him a solid head butt. While dizzy, he picked up the mace and swung it across a bandit's head, knocking some teeth out while he yelped and dodged a volley of arrows that flew his way.

Edgar on the other hand was having some fun as he spun and slashed through the bandits leaving them wounded and incapacitated but not dead. Not one even came close to hurting him but when he saw Elsa and Kristoff get cornered, he felt a surprising feeling in his chest, a feeling he had not felt in a while and it was a simple yet difficult feeling. He felt care.

Elsa shoved some back with wind but she ran out of space as Bearclaw grabbed her by the hair and slammed her head against the wall hard causing her vision to blur he and raised her up and the man said "A sorceress we have here!"

"She's the Queen of Arendelle to you!" said Kristoff as he was then knocked out by a smash of a hammer to the head,

"The queen!" said Bearclaw laughing, "and she's a looker too!"

The bandits chuckled while Edgar suddenly felt rage inside of him seeing his two new…friends…in trouble. This rage boiled inside as the temperature inside the cabin rose into a degree where people turned to look at him as he pointed his black rapier at them and he spoke "Put her down. Now!"

"Make me," said Bearclaw,

Elsa slowly lost her bearings from the impact and as she lost her consciousness, she felt the area feel different and then Edgar growled as she lost all of her remaining strength and promptly passed out.

Later

"Elsa," said a worried voice, "Elsa are you okay?"

She slowly fluttered her eyes open to see Edgar looking very tired with a seriously worried look as she sat up from the wooden floor of the Cabin to say "What happened?"

She scanned the area to see that all the bandits were scattered everywhere beaten half to death while Bearclaw lay groaning as he was on top of a table that was snapped in half. Bandits were everywhere out cold but not dead as Edgar scoffed and said "What? I sort of got carried away."

She saw Kristoff slowly gain his bearings as he got up and said "Whoa, what happened? Did a storm pass this way?"

Edgar helped Elsa sit on a chair as he helped Kristoff up and said "You okay mountain man?"

The blonde nodded as he rubbed his head and said "Yeah, I got a thick skull."

Bearclaw groaned loudly as Edgar kicked him and the large brute was head whispering "Demon, a demon among us…"

Edgar scowled while Elsa said "Are you fine?"

"Fine," said Edgar adjusting his hair and he said "I should be asking you that Queen Elsa."

The queen shook her head while Edgar picked up a cup of beer and poured it over Bearclaw's head as the man regained consciousness and he groaned as Edgar kneeled on one leg and said "Now that's done, care to tell me what happened to the girl?"

The brute fearfully widened his eyes and said "We took her to the port as she was transported to Kaiser's country! They left on the ship he called the Brigade!"

Edgar's face darkened as he said "He must be serious if he brought the Brigade."

The red head then slammed the beer mug over the brute's head knocking him out as he put a small pouch of money on the bartender's table as he looked at Kristoff and said "A small payment for breaking everything."

The bartender, who was up, opened the pouch as his eyes widened and he nodded vigorously and Edgar nodded as well as he faced his companions and said "We're done here, come on."

As soon as they exited the Cabin, Elsa rubbed her head and said "Thank you for saving us back there Edgar."

Edgar nodded while Elsa held out her hand where the golden torch lay and she said "Here, you helped us already and you can take it and go just like I said."

Edgar took it, put it around his neck and said "Thank you Elsa, my mother gave it to me."

Elsa smiled and nodded while she looked at Kristoff and said "We're going to have to get to these docks and follow the ship to wherever it went."

"What!?" said Edgar, "That's crazy! Going to Herrendon! You'll die on the seas alone."

"We'll have to get Anna," said Elsa, "if I went with the council this could start a war."

Edgar sighed and said "Fine, then I'm coming with you."

"What?" asked Elsa and Kristoff in surprise,

"Yeah," said Edgar, "You two are probably going to need my help."

Elsa took his hand, smiled at him and said "Thank you Edgar,"

The red head turned away with his face a bit red and said "Alright, it's no big. First off we'll need to charter a boat-"

Suddenly, a falcon, a silver falcon swooped down and landed on Edgar's shoulder as a message was tied to its leg as Edgar untied the note and said "Thank you Sorren."

The bird nodded as he unfolded the letter and then he looked at Elsa and said "Elsa, I have good news. Good news is that your sister is in Herendon but the bad news is that she is to be killed quietly in a month."
