"You can't do this. My aunt will get you!" Carolyn said while trying to fight of her guard.
The leader laughed, "let her come. I'm ready for a fight."
"You don't want to get into a fight with Elsa. She can make the whole land freeze in seconds!" Carolyn tried to sound convincing and threatening, but her shaky voice ruined the act.
"If you would be quiet so I can concentrate on our destination, that would be great." The man said irritated.
"Well I won't be quiet until you release me."
"Or kill you." The man added softly.
Carolyn hadn't thought of that and became suddenly very quiet.
The men grinned and some of them sighted. Finally she would be quiet.
"If you are wondering we are going to Oaken's trading post."
"And sauna?" Carolyn added.
The man nodded. "After the Great thaw Oaken went away because the demand and delivery were too difficult for him, so now it's our headquarter."
"Why?"
But Maddie already knew why, Carolyn had given the answer herself: the sauna. Her powers won't work there, she could die there.
"We have arrived." The leader said. The girls looked past him to see the wooden cottage. A man was standing in front of the small building and Maddie's eyes grew wide. Her father stood there with an evil grin.
"who is that?" Her father said while pointing to Carolyn.
"The princess, sir." The leader said. "She was with the witch, if we let her go she would tell the queen."
"Uch it doesn't matter." He waved the excuses away. "Put Maddie in the sauna, the princess can go in the cellar, she won't be any trouble there."
The big man nodded to his men and they started following the orders. Maddie tried to fight them.
"Don't worry, sweety. You won't die of the heat, we made it nice and comfy so you won't need your powers." The man smiled at his daughter, while Maddie gave him a dead-look. "No worries you're going like it with me." He gave her a smile, while she was taken away.
"I'll make you." He whispered. This time she wouldn't get away and ruin his plans, the kingdom will be his.
