Chapter 15

"You're never going to get away with this." Anna hissed in the direction of the dark figure.

"I wouldn't worry so much about us Princess, it's you I'd be concerned about. Nobody knows where you are, and they never will."

Anna glared at the man. "Elsa will never let you take over."

He laughed and continued working at a table with his back facing her. "I've told you before, the Queen can either watch her sister die." he paused a moment. "Or give up her title as Queen."

Anna jerked forwards and tried to pull away. "You are despicable! She has responsibilities she would never put Arendelle in danger!"

"Possibly." he spoke with a questioning tone. "But give it some time, she will be desperate for you. She will think you are dead and once she finally sees you again. The Queen won't be able to resist." the man turned and lit a lantern smirking in the low light.

"The guards will Kill you if you threaten me in front of them." Anna glared.

The deep voiced man sighed heavily. "You think I don't know that?" he questioned in a mysterious voice. "I may be cruel but I am not stupid."

He held up a note. "When the time comes this note shall find its way to the Queen. Shall I read it for you." he asked.

"Queen Elsa, We have your sister Princess Anna captive. Today we offer you a choice. Come to this address and come alone. If you disobey these rules we will have your pathetic sister killed. The Princess shall be returned to you mostly unharmed if you give up your title as Queen and leave forever. "

Anna pulled against the ropes that kept her tied to the wall. Closing her eyes The Princess hung her head, there was nothing she could do she was trapped. Elsa would be forced to make a choice and Anna had no doubt she would save her. But she had to convince her sister to save Arendelle instead. The kingdom would be left in chaos if these men were left to rule. They would take over and the people would fear for their lives.

"Elsa will never agree to let you rule Arendelle."

He slowly neared Anna and held the lantern close to her face. "You're beginning to get under my skin Princess." he grumbled in his deep voice. "Do I need to make you silent, or will you do that all by yourself."

Anna glared but she didn't say a word. Her arm ached from where the man cut It, but her mind flooded with ways she could get revenge once she was out of this dark pit. Slowly the Princess fell asleep and when she awoke she saw that her surroundings had changed. It seemed she was in some sort of cellar.

"Ahhh it awakens." A new man laughed one Anna did not recognize from the day she was captured. The ropes were off her wrists and feet but metal bars and ugly men stood in the way of her freedom.

A lantern hung on a hook just outside the cellar and she could see the ugly cut in the lighting. It did not look as terrible as it felt. The cut barley drew any blood, but it stung more than anything.

"If you are caught you'll be Charged with treason, torture, kidnapping, and attempted murder!" Anna screamed.

The man who spoke earlier along with the deep voiced man came over to her. "You are here because you are important to the Queen, and we need the two of you gone, consider yourself lucky we decided to let you both live." the new man snarled.

Anna backed away trying not to show the terror that flickered in her, trying to conceal her emotions.

"I hate you." she whispered.

The two men just laughed and one opened the door to the small room. "You should make yourself comfortable Princess." he began forcing her into a corner of the room. "You're going to be here for a long time." he smirked and Anna turned her face away from his and tried to shove him away. But he was much to strong for her to move.

"Feeling weak?" he asked backing up the sudden movement causing Anna to fall to the ground. Anna caught a glint of silver in his pocket. If she could just reach it she might be able to get out.

Reaching for the blade the Princess stretched her arm out but it was much too slow and the deep voiced man caught her and twisted her arm back.

"You're a feisty one aren't you, always got a fight in you yet your much too weak to do anything significant." he shook his head. "pitiful." he whispered disappointed.

Anna stayed down on the ground. There was no way she could get out, not like this anyways.

"Have you fed her yet?" the new man asked, Anna had only seen his face once but he was the ugliest out of all of them.

The deep voiced man sighed. "No.. I'll feed her tomorrow she's only been here a couple of days she can take a few more hours without food."

Luckily this room had a tiny bed. Anna crawled in and pulled up the paper thin sheets. She missed Elsa and wondered if she was okay. She wondered if anybody was looking for her. Curling up she cried silently hoping the men outside the door wouldn't hear her, she would not let them know she was getting weaker. She could not let them break her spirit, Anna held onto the hope that someday she would be found, or she would escape.

The Princess awoke to a loud noise she soon discovered that one of the ugly men were banging on the bars of her little room.

"Wakey Wakey Princess." he snarled. Laughing hysterically "Your sister is looking for you, she has the entire guard out searching. Once she knows there's a way to save you she won't be able to resist."

Anna sat up. "You are wrong, Elsa is not going to put Arendelle in danger, she'd never let you goons sit on the throne. If Elsa hates anything it's foolishness and you are the most arrogant fools I've ever had the misfortune to meet."

The man opened the door slammed a tray down closing it quickly afterwards. "Eat." he spoke to her in a stern voice.

Anna stumbled out of bed, a glass of warm water and a bowl of some sort of mush. She was sure even the prisoners held in the castle ate better than this.

Shoving it away Anna crawled over to the side of the room and leaned against the cold stone wall drawing her knees up and wrapping her arms around them. She rested her chin in between her knees. Breathing deeply to try and keep herself from crying again. Yet despite her efforts it did not work.

"The Princess is getting weaker and the Queen is growing worried about her." the deep voiced man smiled.

"We need to give it some more time. Once the Queen has given up." the ugly one suggested

"How long do you suppose that will take?" he questioned

"A month, maybe a few but we must wait until she is absolutely desperate."
