"Maddie?" Carolyn knocked softly on the door. "Maddie are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Come in if you like."

Slowly Carolyn opened the door and looked inside. Maddie's room was similar to her own except for the clothes and books laying around.

"Don't you think it's time to clean up a little bit?"

"I don't know. I need all these things for my studies."

"Why don't you take a break? We can go to the ice-palace!" Carolyn's eyes sparkled by the idea, "we can take the sled from my dad."

"I don't think Elsa would mind." Maddie said thoughtfully. "Maybe it's a good idea."

"duh, I only have good ideas."

Maddie laughed and jumped out of her chair. "Let me get my cloak, then we can go."

With a wave of her arm, Maddie created a cloak out of snow. All the small flakes looked like fur, but it was snow.

"Why don't you make cloaks which actually keep someone warm?" Carolyn asked while Maddie put the cloak over her shoulders.

"Well, I don't want you to get lazy. Now go and fetch your own cloak. I'll be waiting by the sled."

Carolyn nodded and both girls walked out of the room.

"And here we are!" Carolyn said happy. "Auntie Elsa's summer-home, or winter-home for that matter."

"Wow!" Was everything Maddie could say. Elsa had let her see this palace from a distance, but she never wanted to go in. She said it's because of the memories she wants to forget.

"Your already out of words and were not even inside."

"Who lives here?"

"Marshmallow for most of the time. Sometimes Olaf comes over for a sleep-over. But now they're both working on the mountain with dad." Carolyn pushed the ice-doors open and entered the palace. When inside Maddie looked around, her face filled with curiosity.

"This is amazing!"

"I know, right?"

"Did Elsa build this on her own?"

Carolyn nodded, "she did in the great winter. She didn't want to run the kingdom and fled to here. Did she never told you that?"

Maddie shook her head. "No she never told me of the great winter."

"She is the mightiest sorcerer ever!" Carolyn's eyes sparkled.

"You only know two." Maddie laughed.

"Well...from those she is the strongest."

"I think that Elsa and I have equally strong powers." Maddie said. "I always beat her in a snowball fight."

"Maybe she let you win those games, you were ten."

"It doesn't matter!' A manly voice said. The girls turned around to face five men holding swords and knifes.

"Who are you?" Maddie asked with a firm voice. She stood between Carolyn and the men.

"That isn't important." The biggest of the five said. "But I need you to come with us."

"If you want the princess you need to get trough me!" Maddie made two ice-swords and held them in the direction of the big man, he looked confused.

"The princess?" Said one of his men.

Maddie became confused herself. "Weren't you after the princess?" Her voice started shaking.

The five men shook there heads. "No." The big guy said. "We are after you."

Maddie's eyes widened in fear. "But, why?"

The man pointed at her swords. "Your power, perhaps?" Maddie looked at Carolyn who was filled with fear.

"My power is useless for others."

The man lifted his shoulders, "I don't care. Now put those ice-lollies down and come with us, nice and easy."

Maddie looked the man in the eye, but she couldn't sense any fear. He didn't care about her powers, he didn't even fear them! Well, he should, she thought bitter. Before anyone really understood, Maddie had jumped to the men and started to swing her swords around. The men dodged her attacks with ease and used their daggers and swords to fight back. Her ice-swords broke after a few beatings from the steel ones. Now she was unarmed some of the men threw their weapons away and tried to catch her. Maddie noticed their gloves, when they grabbed her arms. She tried to shoot her ice-beams, but she was afraid to hit Carolyn. So she surrendered.

The man had noticed her change in behaviour and looked at Carolyn. "On good cards with the princess, aye?" He send two men to Carolyn and they grabbed her arms.

"Let me go!" She yelled while trying to escape the grasp.

"Listen to me, missy." The man said with a grin on his face. "We need this little witch, but you are nothing more then extra weight. So act like a nice little princess." His tone was threatening.

Carolyn looked at her toes.

"Let her go and I won't try to escape!" Maddie said.

"Of course you won't." The man laughed, he gave a signal and one man gagged Maddie and put gloves and cackles on and around her hands. Maddie tried to resist, but another guy gave her a slap on her head.

"Come we have to go. I want to be back on the ground by morning." He started walking followed by his men and prisoners.
