Chapter 30

~ A Dangerous Note ~

Queen Elsa of Arendelle,

We have remained docile for quite some time. But now we have began killing innocents, thats right your people are dying because of you. The next time we will not be so friendly, you will have a massacre on your hands. Not even the soldiers sent from the southern isles can save you. I urge you to give up your title as Queen and turn the Kingdom over to us, or we will soon strike again and the ground shall be red with the blood of your people.

Should you not yet be convinced of our power here, I must remind you that we have taken the princess once and if need be we shall capture her again. Should you continue to refuse to let you title go we shall eliminate your sister is a most painful way.

The letter was without a signature, Elsa looked at the second half over and over. She was terrified for Anna, secretly she has more gaurds stand by her the castle gates were closed at all times. Breathing heavily Elsa stored the threat back in its envelope and put it back on her bedside table. Walking solemnly into the hallway the new letter had set her more on edge than anything, she kept track of where her sister was and who was with her. Elsa lost much sleep over her worries, and was growing very quiet and reclusive.

"Elsa!" Anna beamed walking towards her in the hall, the Princess took quick notice of her sisters melancholy behavior. "Elsa what's wrong? I thought you were doing better, we almost have a lead on the people who've declared a war with us."

"No, Anna we don't, and until we do. You don't go outside, I want to know where you are at all times. Understand me?" she stated in a quiet yet stern voice.

"You aren't my mother, Elsa... I'm supposed to go on a walk today, with Erynn to see the people in the village!"

"The gates are closed, I ordered that they remain that way under all conditions nobody gets in and nobody gets out. You aren't leaving, don't try and persuade me."

Anna's heart sunk she was looking forward to getting out of the castle. "Why are you treating me like I child!" The Princess questioned.

"It's dangerous!" Elsa exclaimed. "I know more than you, I am the Queen, Anna, please for your safety, for mine. Don't leave the castle, If something were to happen to you again I would never forgive myself from not stopping you. You can't leave, if things need to be dealt with the soldiers can do it. They are capable of much and I trust them."

"That's just it Elsa... Price Erynn and I have reason to believe there is a traitor living here with us. You found me in a few hours and well, our men did not find me for three months. They could have become allies with the attackers, some of them still fear you and your magic Elsa..."

Erynn came running quickly down the hall. "Elsa, there is an army massing in the distance by the North Mountain, for now they remain docile. But we do not know when they will strike, as they are at the top anyone sent will be seen. It would be most wise to not start a war."

"No, I wish to avoid war at all costs. Every life spent in violence and rage is a most tragic occurrence. Are all the soldiers, and guards informed of their presence." Elsa questioned

"Yes, they are all prepared and equipped to defend Arendelle when the times comes." The Prince replied holding a strong stance, his voice not once wavering in fear.

"Good, I will not allow them to Overthrow this Kingdom, and I will not abandon my job as Queen, it is my duty to protect until Death or old age claim me and I intend to do so." Elsa glanced at her sister. "Take Anna and get out, go somewhere safe as far away from here as you can get. I know what they want and I fear they may use Anna to get to me. All I want is for her to be safe and the castle is no longer that place."

"Elsa no!" Anna protested. "I want to stay and help fight! I'm the Princess of Arendelle! I belong here" Anna cried in frustration letting tears drip from her eyes. "What if you die!" The Queen walked up to her and placed both hands on her shoulders.

"You need to stay here, should I die I'm this fight. You are all Arendelle has left, If I don't return alive at the end. You are to be the one that rules over this kingdom. So please go somewhere safe Anna Arendelle needs one of their royals alive."

"I will be careful! Elsa I am strong and smart I came to find you on that mountain! I risked my life for you! Why won't you let me help!"

Elsa looked at her sister with a heavy heart. "You might be willing to risk your life for me. But I am not willing to risk your life by having you here. They have threatened Arendelle Anna, and if I do not do certain things many people could die."

"Including you! Elsa please!" Anna begged her voice trembling. "Please, let me stay or come with us! You don't need to abandon your Kingdom! Just to be safe!" The Princess protested in hysterics Erynn had to keep a forceful grip on her in order to get her away from Elsa. The Queen looked away as the Prince took her sister the crying and protesting that came from Anna was heartbreaking and she hoped that the fight would work in favor of Arendelle that whatever war she was in, she would come out victorious.

Elsa sighed Erynn would take her sister, somewhere safe. She would face the attackers, even if she ended up dead, Anna and Erynn were perfectly capable of running things and taking back the kingdom. Slowly walking back to her study, the day seemed even more miserable than before. A cold feeling grew inside Elsa, knowing that she may never see Anna again. The Queen moved towards the window and looked upon her kingdom as she often did. Very few people were out in the streets, the sky was a dull grey and large clouds loomed over the village.

Hours later the Queen sat in her chair a mug of tea sat by the window causing it to become foggy. She hadn't touched it since it was brought for her.

"Your majesty." The Captain of The Guard opened the door frantically and walked over to her. "This was delivered a few moments ago."

Queen Elsa Of Arendelle,

I am surprised you still have no clue who I am, nor do you attempt to reach out and discuss matters with me. I have been waiting many many months for this moment, now that I have what I want I will wait no longer.

Prince Erynn and Princess Anna were found by my soldiers. They fought well, but not well enough. Both are now in my possession. Should you fail to comply with my rules I shall execute your beloved sister. You are to meet me at sunrise tomorrow near the south gate of the castle. I must warn you that I show no mercy, fail to show up and The Princess will be killed

With regards,

Hans of the Southern Isles

Elsa breathed heavily for a moment she froze the letter almost instantly and smashed it on the ground. Glaring at the Captain ice began to creep from under her and up the walls of the room.

"Prince Hans!" She screamed. "You mean to tell me that you and your men could not have figured that out in five.. Even six months! You failed to find my sister and you are failing me as we speak!" she clenched her teeth. "I've had enough!" Storming down the hall he called after her.

"Queen Elsa? Where are you going! There's a threat you must stay safe inside the castle."

"Like Hell I'm going to wait, my sister is with that beast right now. I'm going up the North Mountain to see Hans." The Queen didn't say another word as she walked quickly down the long corridor and out into the courtyard.

"Open the gates." she demanded

So here we heard of a failed attempt to keep Anna safe. Elsa thought by sending her into hiding she might avoid capture if the castle was overtaken. Next chapter we will see the reasons that plan failed.
