Chapter 32

~ Plans for Elsa ~

The door slammed shut and Elsa rushed to her sister. "Anna!" The Queen looked at her with worry. The Princess was injured quite terribly. Freezing the ropes that bound her own hands together Elsa was able to untie the ones around her sisters wrists. Help her over to the tiny bed in the corner of the room and take a look at her foot.

"Elsa!" Anna winced as she tried to take the shoe off her sisters injured foot. "It hurts." Elsa closed her eyes tightly and proceeded to take the shoe off very slowly and carefully. Now She could see just how terrible the injury was. Her foot was pierced a large hole in her ankle bled terribly and it seemed that the bones may have broken. Elsa clenched her teeth tightly. "Is it bad Elsa?" Anna questioned.

"Yeah, Anna it's pretty bad." Elsa turned to her, the Princess had a very pale face she looked dreadful. "Lie down." The former Queen helped her sister lay down comfortably and went back to looking at the foot. "I think Edith needs to see this." Elsa grabbed her sisters hand tightly and smiled. "Hans won't let you die, as long as you're alive he has leverage over me and that's something he can't afford to lose." Elsa walked over to the door and slammed on it with her fists, somebody had to be out there, Hans wouldn't leave the sisters there without people to make sure they don't escape. After much screaming and yelling amongst the Guards outside the door finally opened.

"Ahh Elsa, I was wondering when I would hear from you."

Elsa glared at him with wide angry eyes. "My sister is hurt, help her." She growled.

"Cool down" Hans glanced at the Princess laying on the bed. "If my sister dies there is nothing stopping me from freezing you to solid ice. Your best option is to get one of the castle doctors to tend to her. Or I will unleash all my magic upon you"

"Don't threaten me, now that you are nothing but a witch, you have no power you are not a Queen anymore, Elsa." The ginger breathed out. "You never did belong here anyways, you don't belong anywhere and now. You're trapped somewhere, where it is like you don't even exist." Hans looked at her with a smug expression, pleased with his actions. "I'll summon somebody to come and help your sister, but do remember you start to disobey me and Anna dies."

Elsa clenched her hands into fists, wishing more than anything she could strike this man with an icicle straight through his heart. Hans closed the door in her face and she returned to Anna sitting on the edge of the bed. Her sister looked sick, sleep deprived and pale. Elsa was growing very worried something was terribly wrong with her younger sibling. It was less than an hour when the door flung open and Edith came in carrying a box of many medical supplies. Elsa jumped of the bed running to hug the woman. She was already in tears "Edith! I'm so sorry, for what I did everything is my fault." Elsa stuttered. "I gave up my Kingdom to that man."

"Oh Elsa, my child, everything is alright... Lets take a look at your sister." Edith spoke, she had helped the girls very often in the past. The comforting woman was so kind to the both of them, Elsa had known her quite a long time. Even before she was born Edith has been in the castle.

"Oh dear." She whispered to herself upon catching sight of Anna's foot. When she tried to move it slightly Anna nearly screamed shaking her head, Edith got up and walked over to Elsa. "The bones In her foot are out of place, snapped and moved... We're going to have to put them back."

"We're?" Elsa questioned giving the woman a worried glance.

"You can't let her move, Elsa... While I do this you are going to have to ensure she doesn't move... At all. Once that is done I can stop the bleeding immobilize her foot and hopefully it will heal and she will still be able to walk."

Elsa just stood for a moment crying for her sister, and for everything that had happened worry filled her head and made her shake with fear. Anna was still laying motionless on the tiny uncomfortable bed. Elsa walked over to her slowly "Edith is going to help you, but you can't move." Elsa allowed her sister to rest up against her, she grabbed her sisters arms tightly and held them across her chest. Anna looked terrified, she was shaking against her sisters form. "You're okay." Elsa tried to assure her, but she could feel her sisters heart beating quickly. "Shhhh, calm down Anna."

"Elsa make sure you hold her still, I don't want to harm her even further." Edith looked towards the girl all dressed in blue. Elsa held her sister tightly, and closed her eyes then a horrible scream came from her sister and then the tears. Edith looked up at her, Elsa released her sister from her own tight grip. "Now let me clean that foot up, try to stop all the bleeding." The lady cleaned Anna's foot then put something over the wound to help it heal. Which Elsa turned up her nose at as soon as the smell reached it. Quickly wrapping it tightly In a cloth bandage Edith smiled lightly and stood up. "Elsa, make sure she stays off that foot for a few days alright? Call if you need me, if not I will be back to check on her tomorrow." The castle doctor left the two and the guards standing outside let her out. Leaving Elsa and Anna locked up all alone again, the former Queen had never felt so horribly and guilty in her life.

Anna noticed her sisters solemn state, she proper herself up against the wall. "Elsa, you saved my life... Don't feel bad about what you did. Hans might rule fairly, you never know." Anna paused. "It's not like you doomed Arendelle to fall."

Breathing out heavily Elsa shook her head from side to side ever so slightly. "I gave up, Anna." She paused. "I put you and Erynn in danger and I signed over the Kingdom to our enemy. You always say our parents would be proud of us... I just don't think they would be proud of me, not after everything I've done. Maybe, I was never meant to be Queen after all."

"Hey!" Anna spoke in a loud voice. "Elsa stop that, you are a wonderful Queen, stop doubting yourself. You are your own worst enemy, they only one who is hating on you... Is yourself."

The Princess smiled sweetly, her heart still her for her guilt ridden sister. She could tell Elsa was not feeling very good about herself. "Come here Elsa." Slowly she did so, sitting right beside Anna leaning against her. "You are wonderful." Anna whispered "Things do have a way of working out in the end. So please Elsa, you cannot continue to be so harsh on yourself."

For a long time Anna and Elsa just sat together in silence. Nothing but the sound of footsteps outside the door. The wind blowing outside and the occasional person yelling from somewhere in the castle ruined the silence. The sisters soon fell asleep draped over each other, hours and hours passed and the two did not wake up. Until a harsh knocking sound interrupted the dreams of both girls. Elsa got up and moved towards the door just as it opened, Anna mumbled softly wondering who had come to see them, the something about the time. To the surprise of both girls it was Hans who stood before them. "What do you want." Elsa asked In an incredibly rude tone crossing her arms she stared at the new King with cold eyes. Hatred flooded into her heart and her hands formed fists at her sides nails digging into her palms.

"Well, Elsa." He began starting with a deep breath. "Since I now have ultimate power over you, you're required to do whatever I want. As long as the threat of your sisters death is the penalty for not cooperating with me." The former ruler of Arendelle glared at Hans her angry eyes intensifying.

"What do you want, it's been mere hours and you can't even run the kingdom yourself?"

"I would watch what you say, you might wake up to find your sister dead one morning of your attitude continues like this. As you relinquished your duties as Queen, I am now the only ruler of Arendelle. You must listen to me now, Elsa." He paused a moment laughing at Elsa's anger towards him. "I just want you to know, whatever I require of you shall be done without any hesitation or complaining. Do you understand me Elsa?" He questioned In a very stern tone. "I am not afraid to kill your sister right before you, and if I have to I will."

"I know!" Elsa hissed at him.

Hans laughed once more, her turned around with a smirk on his face exiting the tiny prison cell and having it lock behind him. Walking upstairs he called upon Archer. "Archer, Elsa is proving to be quite a difficult subject... But soon I will have her wrapped around my finger she won't have any choice but to do what I ask of her, and it will make her miserable." He smiled kicking her shoes off and lying back in the chair. "It's good to be King." He paused a few moments breathing in the air around him deeply. "Now, write this down its very Important... I have plans for Elsa..."

Back in the cellars downstairs Elsa sat by Anna taking care of her. She kept repeating to Elsa how freezing it was down in the little room. Wrapping the one blanket tightly around her was not quite enough. The cold never bothered Elsa but the Princess was quite phased by it. "You're okay." Elsa told her in a sing song voice. "Anna, everything will be just fine." she finished softly running her hands carefully though her sisters red hair.

"Elsa, I'm cold." The Princess complained again. Getting worried as this was about the seventh time her sister had said this to her. To make matters worse Anna was now shivering and shaking. Elsa got up and slammed on the door as she usually had done in order to get the attention of those outside. "My sister is freezing to death in here!" Elsa stated. "Bring some more blankets!"

A few of the guards outside laughed as to why they should take orders from Elsa, until one reminded the others that the King wouldn't be too please if Anna did end up freezing to death. Minutes later Elsa was able to wrap her sister up nicely in a few warm blankets. "See, I knew Hans won't let you die." she whispered. "You are safe so long as I do what he wants."

Then Anna looked at Elsa with a deep sadness in her eyes. "Elsa, if there is ever something you don't want to do... Please don't do it, he will hold this over you forever and if I have to die so you won't be miserable I will. Living here, being locked up forever isn't what I want. I know this isn't how either of us saw ourselves when you were crowned Queen. But now, its what we are dealing with."

"Anna, I will find a way to get the both of us out of this mess. I'm going to do whatever it takes to keep you alive and earn our freedom."

Elsa looked around the stone room. No windows, no sight into the outside world both girls were buried deep beneath the castle locked away as Hans' prisoners. Where she would be forced to do whatever he wanted for the rest of her life, just so she could keep her little sister alive.

Hans sat at the desk Archer in front of him ready to write. "Elsa will be forced to do... Whatever I want." Hans paused a moment standing in order to walk over to the window and look down on the Kingdom. "Now that I am King this Castle needs a Queen of sorts... To do all the difficult work. Paperwork, petty complaints, problems I don't really care about... " looking to Archer. "And why look for one, when I have one right here, I can use her for whatever I don't want to do, she will be forced into marriage with a man she despises and I can laugh at her misery every day. Elsa will be my little pet, her disobedience will cause her to be punished and if she obeys I will let her sister live."

Archer was listening to everything the King had said. He too smiled maniacally laughing along with the Ginger haired king.

"I've barely broken her yet. Give it a few days maybe even weeks before we make the deal with her. She will be desperate to get out of the cell and it will be quite entertaining to see how she progresses throughout the days to come. I know that Elsa hates being locked away.
