Chapter 12
Elsa took James all the way to her ice castle in the north mountain. The queen was leading the horse because she had blindfolded James in order to make his first visit to the palace a surprise. Once she repaired the stair case that Hans and Marshmallow had broken she let James see.
"Wow, it's beautiful" said James in awe
"Wait till you see inside of the castle."
They rapidly ascended the icy staircase and opened the doors. James drew his sword just in case somebody had decided to invade Elsa's castle while she was away. Upon reaching the top floor Elsa quickly picked up at the arrows left there by the Duke of Weselton's henchmen and threw them out the window. She also fixed the chandelier and the balcony that had been destroyed.
Fixing everything that was broken made Elsa feel a little sad mainly because it reminded her of the attack and the moment when she awoke in the castle dungeon but it also helped her heal the wounds left by that horrible event.
Elsa didn't say a lot and she didn't need to for James to understand. He walked up behind her and gave her a hug.
"It's all over now." wispered james
Elsa felt safe in James's arms ,she decided to let the pain go and instead focused on the positive aspects of her life.
the couple spent time together cuddling and enjoying each others company.
"you want to know something?" said James while giving Elsa an eskimo kiss
"what?" said Elsa
"you where right we did need to get away for a while."
"I told you so," said Elsa
"I love your stubbornnes." said James
"I love you." said Elsa while her face quickly turned bright crimson.
James opened his eyes very wide and scooped Elsa off the floor .
"I love you ,I love you so much." said james
The queen was taken by surprise and ended up causing a flurry shower in the room.
Elsa and James kissed under the snow and spent the rest of the evening watching the sunset.
Elsa felt very relaxed after getting away from her royal duties but she knew that her kingdom needed her so the couple decided to head back down the mountain.
Kristoff and Sven where making their way home after a long day of harvesting ice. He had managed to find a new job that was far away from his previous one. Even though the trolls had convinced him to stay he was determined on creating a new life and this job was a great way to start. He was very close to the valley of the living rock when a broken sled caught his attention. Kristoff stopped to look at it and make sure that nobody was hurt when all of a sudden he was tackled. At first he thought that he was being attacked by a mugger but after wrestling his opponent he quickly discovered the assailant's identity. It was Lev and he was not alone Linus was also there holding a very surprised Sven down so he would not try to aid his friend.
"Let me go you piece of shit!" yelled Kristoff
"Easy now girly boy, you come quietly or the reindeer gets it." Said Lev while Linus chuckled
"What do you want from me?" asked a very annoyed Kristoff
"For starters you can give us all of your coins." Said Linus
"Fine" said kristoff as he gestured to his pocket
Lev dug out Kristoff's last twenty coins from his pocket and he also took his knife. The man threw the knife very far away .it landed in the forest making it impossible for him to retrieve it.
"Can I go now?" said kristoff
"No, now I am going to kill you and I am going to send your head to the whore princess." Said Lev while drawing a huge knife from his pocket.
Just then kristoff hatched a plan and immediately put it into action knowing that it might be the only way to save his life.
"It's funny that you mention it, weren't your mothers whores?" said Kristoff while trying to anger the men.
"Don't you talk about our mothers orphan." Said Linus while balling his hands into tight fists.
"At least I'm not a bastard son of a whore." He said with a smile.
"Looks like we have to teach orphan boy a lesson." Said Lev while putting his knife away.
He began to beat kristoff .Linus let his anger get the best of him and started to beat him to. In his haste he forgot to tie Sven and left him completely unguarded.
Sven immediately flew into a rage and tackled Lev wounding him with his horns .Linus tried to defend himself by trying to stab Sven but Kristoff tackled him and managed to disarm him with Sven's help.
Kristoff held the knife while Linus quivered in fear and begged for his life. Just then they heard the sound of galloping horses and before anybody could get away the castle army men seized them.
Hans returned from his trip with two vials, one contained Arsenic the other contained a mix of herbs that had the potential to make a man very ill but would not kill him.
Hans laid in his bed looking at his poison vile that was decorated with the Arendelle crocus and smiled.
