- Elsa's Struggle -
Darkness enshrouded her.
Curious about her new surroundings, the Queen took a step forward. She felt her foot touch a viscous liquid and looked down in surprise. But it was just blackness that she stepped on. It's just...black. She frowned.
"You're wrong," a voice similar to her own yet it wasn't the same.
"Who are you?" Elsa called out.
"You."
"What?" Elsa was absolutely perplexed, and a little frightened.
A figure stepped out of the darkness, and Elsa recognized her. It was indeed herself. Except that the woman in front of her had raven-black hair, crimson eyes, a dark, purplish dress that matched her lips and a confident smirk.
"And as I was saying," the dark version of her shifted her braid over her shoulder, "It's not just 'black'. Lift your foot and you might see~" She sang as she danced away into the darkness.
Elsa subconsciously followed her instruction and to her horror, found blood dripping from her foot when she lifted it. Blood? Why blood?
"I'll have you know that it is your blood. The blood that was supposed to be shed when that despicable Prince Hans was about to chop off your miserable head," the voice bounced off the corners of her mind, "Then guess what? Your pretty little sister steps right in between! You froze her heart, yet she would die for you in a split second. A terrible sister you are, aren't you?"
"No! Stop!"
But the tinkling of cruel laughter began instead. Her dark side was sadistic, and it would forever be that way, it seemed.
"So you were finally reunited with Anna. You already had her love and you knew it, but you wanted more. You wanted her to see you as her lover, so you shut her out the moment you saw she had her eyes set on someone else! You're a greedy, selfish monster!"
"I said enough!" Elsa threw out her hand, but nothing happened, "W-What?"
"Unfortunately for you, Elsa," the crimson-eyed woman reappeared, "This realm belongs to me. You have no power here. But I do."
Ice rose up instantly, trapping Elsa in her place. Struggle was futile.
"Where did I last stop?" The Other Queen chuckled, "Oh yes, where you are a monster. How could I forget? Silly me. So you tried to kill her boyfriend out of jealousy. You must really want your little sister to be as pathetic and sorry a mess as you."
"No...no…" Tears streamed down her face as she cried out in regret, "No! I never meant to do it!"
"Stop lying."
A gasp. The Other Queen had her hands wrapped around the Queen's throat, her demonic smile widening.
Elsa found herself dying once again.
"Elsa!"
The Other Queen pulled away, shocked by the voice.
Anna. Anna was calling for her.
Elsa's eyes shot open, "Anna!"
"She'll not hear you down here, Elsa."
"She will!" Elsa screamed, shattering the ice that immobilized her, "Anna!"
The Other Queen growled, throwing another wave of ice at her, but Elsa managed to dodge it.
Then sobs filled the atmosphere. Elsa's eyes widened. Anna, don't cry. I never want to see you cry.
There was a moment of silence. Suddenly a deep intake of breath. And one familiar melody filled the air.
"IT WENT SOMETHING LIKE THIS"
Do you want to build a snowman?
I'm sorry I pushed you away
I didn't know that I needed you
I really do…
The Queen found strength in the Princess' words. With a quick flick of her hand, she fired an icy blast at her enemy, which sent her slinking back into the darkness. Just as Elsa was about to let out a sigh of relief, her voice came back haunting her.
Soon, I'll come back for you, Elsa. Then Anna will be mine.
"No, you won't. I won't let you take Anna away from me," Elsa retorted determinedly. Hang in there, Anna. I'll be right there for you once I find my way out of this place.
Only, Elsa realized her thoughts never sounded so sinister. Uttering a gasp, the queen struck out blindly, rewarded instantly by the dry thump of skin against flesh and a cry of pain.
A small victory. Elsa knew it would be short-lived. Ice swirled around her legs once again, trapping her in place. The not-Elsa came into the queen's vision, scowling. A bright red hand-print marked where Elsa had struck her.
The dark queen's voice echoed around the darkness. "It seems that you've yet to grasp the predicament you're in. Perhaps I should shed some light on that subject." With a cutting gesture, the not-Elsa conjured more ice around Elsa's form, making sure the queen could not move an inch.
Soon, all that was left visible of the queen was her face, everything else shrouded in a grotesque clothing of ice. And yet Elsa did not shy away from the dangerous being in front of her, for she knew Anna was still waiting for her.
"THE NOT-ELSA DISAGREED"
With a cry of triumph,
the dark queen placed two
cold hands on Elsa's face
and made her remember
It was unlike any torture found in Arendelle's histories. It did not include any physical deformation whatsoever. You could probably guess by now, that what the false queen had done to the true one. She made her remember, and Elsa had no such defense against such an attack.
"SAY YOU HAD A MEMORY"
A memory that shakes you to the core
What the dark queen did
Was bring those memories Elsa had with Anna
To the forefront
And added her own poisonous taint
And with a shudder, the queen of Arendelle screamed.
