The girl's eyes widened at the sight of the weapon. Elsa pulled herself together first and gulped audibly. "Ok, Hans, we don't need to use violence. Just put the kinfe down," she tried coaxing calming, though her mind whirled anxiously about the potential outcomes of this crazy situation.
"I actually think we do," Hans said, running his fingers along the sharp blade. "I'm afraid I can't have that information getting out. Jail is too...tousled for a guy in such a high place in society like me," Hans began pacing the room while the frightened girls stayed frozen in place.
"What are gonna do?" Anna provoked.
"Anna, don't!" Elsa warned.
"Well, little miss spunk," Hans started, placing the knife under her jawline to bring her head up. Anna cringed but refused to show fear. "You want to know what I plan to do? I really don't want to cause any injuries, or even death, today. I just want your little friend to give me that recorder. We forget about this whole little, bump in the road, and part as, what did you say Anna? oh that's right. Friends," Hans said, dragging the dagger carefully along Anna's smooth skin.
"No," Elsa's word escaped her throat before she had a chance to think about it.
Hans gave her a surprised look and walked charismatically over to the blonde, leaving the redhead feeling a little bit relieved. "No?" he asked.
"You deserve everything that's coming for you. No one's to blame for all your mistakes but you," Elsa replied bravely, trying to hold in her frightened gasp when he grabbed her wrist forcefully, his knife ready to strike at any moment in the other hand.
"Well, that's the wrong answer. I'm afraid people who disobey me get punished," Hans growled, raising his hand to take a stab at Elsa.
"Anna! The recorder!" Elsa screeched, her eyes wide in trepidation and horror at the glistening silver of the brand.
The next few moments passed in slow motion.
Anna rushed to grab the recorder from the visible pocket of Elsa's slack, reaching frantically and blindly snatching the precious device. She smiled at her victory, until she realized what her two other companions had done during this time. "ELSA!" Anna caterwauled.
Hans saw Anna bolting for his guilty sentence. Quicker than lightning, he commanded his arm to move a take a slice of Elsa's arm. Elsa cried out in pain, holding her shoulder and gaping at the red gash now present.
"ANNA RUN!" Elsa howled, stepping back from Hans and grunting in agony at her fresh wound.
Anna was torn. The world froze. Should she run, taking the evidence with her? Or stay with Elsa, who desperately needed medical attention? Her face displayed her split emotions, and she knew it was now or never. Hans was coming towards her like a tiger on the prowl. So she did what Elsa said.
She ran.
With Hans dashing rapidly behind her.

Elsa stumbled after Anna and Hans, wincing in the pain and feeling disgusted at the blotchy red stains now covering her cotton sweater. Reaching the hallway took longer than she desired, but once reaching it she looked down both ends for any chance of assistance.
"KRISTOFF!" Elsa yelled, relief flowing through her like a river at the sight of the mountain man.
Said mountain man quickly turned his head towards the voice and bolted towards the injured teen. "Elsa! What happened?" he asked with panic in his warm brown eyes. He took off his plaid flannel and immediately started wrapping it around Elsa's thin arm.
"Hans! We tried to catch him and-and he pulled out a knife," Elsa tried speaking though she was close to hysteria. "He's after Anna! We have to save her!"
Kristoff started running right after Anna's name departed Elsa's thin lips. "Call the police!" His voice echoed through the hallway.

Anna breathed heavily and scrambled through the doors of the main building, searching for some place to go to get away from the madman close on her heels. Her muscle memory started leading her towards the woods, her mind not processing how dangerous the destination really was. She stopped for a second after trees surrounded her vision. She looked frantically around for some place to hide. Suddenly seeing a large tree, she decided to hide behind it and waited for her betrayer to arrive.
Soon, Hans' footsteps were loudly approaching. He stopped and breathed heavily, slouching down and placing his hands on his knees. "Alright feisty pants, I know you're her somewhere," he said with a menacing scowl cementing his face, circling the enclosure and his knife poised to attack.
Anna gulped quietly and gripped he recorder through her pocket to give herself reassurance.
The minute passed by so slowly, Hans refusing to give up and kept provoking her. "Alright. I can wait all day, little princess."
Suddenly, Anna heard another set of feet racing towards them. Hans caught it as well, and stood ready for a fight.

Elsa's fingers trembled as she dialed 911. Her breathing uneven, she held the phone up to her ear with her good arm and waited impatiently for the operator to pick up.
"911, what's your emergency?"

Kristoff didn't know whether to feel relieved or terrorized after seeing the maniac clenching a knife. "Kristoff," Hans said smoothly, trying to hide the weapon he possessed.
"What's that?" Kristoff said slowly, eyes gazing the silver edge with red stains marking the tip.
"Nothing!" Hans answered, trying his best to stay cool and collected. "I don't mean to be rude, but I'm a little busy here. Can we chat a little later?"
"Where's Anna," Kristoff stated, his face red with fatigue and anger.
"I don't know, why would you ask?" Hans replied. "I wouldn't check here though. Maybe the library?"
"Give me the knife," Kristoff countered,, holding out a shaky hand.
"No," Hans pulled out the dagger, growling. "Now I suggest you go, as I have some unfinished business I need to take care of."
"I don't think so," Kristoff responded, utterly terrified.
"I didn't want to have to resort to violence, Kristoff, but you leave me no choice," Hans said, walking towards the bulky blonde.
"Guess that rule didn't apply when you took a stab at Elsa," Kristoff retorted, feeling a surge of bravery racing through his veins.
Hans growled and began making repeated jabs with Kristoff skillfully dodging them. Their fierce battle continued for several uncomfortable minutes for Anna, who could only grimace and shrink at the close slices to Kristoff's skin. All at once, Hans had somehow corner the blonde, his knife placed harshly against his neck, though not deep enough to cut his tan surface.
"Looks like we've found ourselves in an all too familiar situation," Hans grinned murderously, reveling in his new power.
Kristoff only looked in disgust and shame at his enemy in response.
"Except this time, you won't even be close to getting away with it. You know why?" Hans' voice was turning demonic. "Because this time, you won't live to defend yourself."
That was the final straw for Anna. She left the safety of her hiding place and ran towards the criminal scene. "STOP!"
Both boys looked over at her in surprise. "Anna!" Kristoff chocked.
"Well, what do we have here?" Hans said, keeping his tight grip on Kristoff's throat but turning his head to face the petite teen. "Guess I can kill two birds with one stone - pun intended," he chuckled maniacally. "I can get rid of both of the most irritating and destructive people in my life. And I'll do it with extreme entertainment.
"Now, who should go first? Hmm..what do you think Kristoff?" Hans asked, pressing deeper into the Kristoff's flesh, making sure not to cut him just yet, but enough to scare Anna to screams. "I think, the noisy one needs to go first, you know what I mean Kristoff? It's just a major distraction." With that, he made his way towards the white with fright girl.
Big mistake.
As soon as Hans' grip loosened on him, Kristoff tackled Hans to the ground, surprising the villain and making him drop the tight grip he had on the dagger and make them both fall to the ground. They fought equally for a few moments until Kristoff's size and build overpowered Hans. And good thing he did, as the bright lights of the ambulance and police cars and flashes of paramedics came into view.
