"What's going on with Queen Elsa?", Thorian asked with restlessness .The healer laughed and nodded to the prince that everything was okay. Although, despite the deep injury on her leg she had also a deep wound behind her head .The wound seemed to be thawing but the healer wanted to know what had happened. The incident , that had caused it.
"My prince I also observed that our Queen despite the deep wound on her leg she had also a kind of injury at the back of her head. Isn't so deep as the injury on her leg but I thought you could help me understand its root cause.", the healer said and waited patiently for prince's response.
The young felt awkward. He looked terrified the healer signing a bit, and started mumbling.
"Well I can't remember something happening the past two days we were on the forest..", Thorian whispered as clearly as he could. Although the healer could see that his behavior wasn't normal while speaking , so he thought to ask him once more.
"Are you sure? What I'm asking you is really important and if you know something I would like you to tell me.", the healer insisted and glanced with his eyes goggled the young prince.
Thorian hesitated at first but then decided to speak to the healer. He had to eventually. He owned it to Elsa.
"Ok , I know. Well, It happened the same day we disappeared from here. Queen Elsa might have died if I weren't there because someone hit her with a blunt object in the back of her head. I didn't recognize him ,but what's worth now is that she's alive…",Thorian replied and looked anxious the healer who seemed socked.
"Oh ok but you should be more careful otherwise the next time and I hope there's no gonna be a second time you might not be so lucky", the healer said while caressing his chin thoughtful.
Thorian went to live but the healer shouted him to stop because they weren't done .Thorian turned his head back and stared the old man. He didn't have time for talk but he had to approach the healer to see what he wanted.
"One more thing , my prince. Please take your mother in and bring her to me. I assure you that I will take her of her until the funeral.", the healer said and crossed his hands looking sadly the young prince.
Thorian nodded at him and fended off. He stepped rapidly towards his siblings who stood there speechless and glanced them thoughtful.
"Amelia , Eric let's go..",he mumbled and ran out to the garden. He stepped steady until he approached his mother's body. He kneeled down and looked terrified his mother eyes. They seemed so scared and goggled from the fear she might felt until she let her last breath come out. He couldn't stand this spectacle and immediately closed his mother's eyes. He could hear his siblings steps coming closer but didn't give much attention.
"Eric come and help me please..",Thorian said softly and caught his mother head.
Eric got her from her legs while Amelia was standing next to them whining quietly. They moved alongside and finally after a couple of minutes succeed to get in the palace. Suddenly , the heard heavy footsteps from the staircase.
"It's father!, Amelia whispered terrified and nodded to her brothers. Eric glanced Thorian who was bemused. They didn't know what to do and the could hear clearly their father footsteps coming closer.
"I will deal with him!", Amelia whispered and nodded them with her hand raised to leave.
Thanks Odin they succeed to disappear before their father reach the edge of the stairs. King Edfast had woken up from the disturbance and was trying to open up his eyes until he saw his lost daughter standing in the corner of the corridor which was leading to the garden. Surprised from what he was looking at, he goggled his eyes and approached hesitating.
"Amelia is that you?", King Edfast mumbled socked and tried to touch the girl.
"Yeah daddy!",Amelia said loudly and hugged her father while crying.
"Oh Amelia it's ok sweetheart.." , the king replied thinking of what his little girl might have passed. He was caressing her hair with softly moves when his eye caught the view of the garden. He goggled his eyes and fended off his daughter stepping towards the garden. Amelia stood where her father had left her, wiping her tears coz she knew that she had to tell him everything. She had to be strong now. She was the person that had to calm down her father and explain him how the things were.
"Amelia what did happen here? Who did this?", the King yelled and kneeled down next to his dead guards.
"Father I don't..", Amelia whispered and approached slowly his father.
"Did they hurt you? Where is your mother and your brothers? Queen Elsa? Oh Odin what a disaster!",the King mumbled and hide his head in his hands feeling embarrassed.
"Father I have to tell you something..", Amelia said with her breath cut and touch her father shoulder. The King raised his look and looked terrified his daughter. His eyes were goggled and full of anxiety. His life was changing so rapidly and he was so unprepared for such changes that he was out of his depth.
"Tell me honey.." , he mumbled and waited patiently kneeled down for his daughter's response.
Amelia was afraid that she would cry if she looked him straight in the eyes so she tried to avoid his scared a couple of minutes of silence Amelia signed and bite her lips.
"Dad mum is…",she whispered and stared him afraid. She had to be the strong now, not him. Although even now , she was trying to absorb some courage from her own father but that was impossible. Her father's look get darken and approached his daughter.
"What's wrong with mum?", he asked seeming thoughtful and probably looked him terrified and signed once more.
"Dad … mum, something happened to her and she's…", Amelia tried to narrate but then a male voice was heard behind of her.
"Dad mum is dead..", Eric said clearly with amazing temper and approached them. Behind of him, Thorian was standing speechless with his eyes wet. Although he had accept the fact that his mum had passed on he couldn't used to was a great, a principal lost for them and only people with great temper could accept it from the first moment.
King Edfast was standing still ,stumbling a bit with his face white as snow. He was silent and was holding his hands near his chest, particularly where his heart was.
"Father are you ok?",Thorian yelled and ran next to him. Eric came running too and Amelia ran in the palace to bring the healer. Both brothers were afraid that they would lose their father from a heart attack coz of the bad news. They stepped carefully while holding on their arms their half-unconscious father who was mumbling some strange words, completely incomprehensible. Thorian stopped and approached his father's mouth trying to understand what he was trying to say.
"I want to see her…", he whispered slowly with his voice nearly slaked.
"Yes father.. ", Eric said hesitating. "But it might be..", he tried to explain but his father raised his trembling hand abruptly , cutting him his speech .Eric goggled his eyes and bite his tongue from the surprise, feeling embarrassed.
"Eric take me there", King ordered and raised his look to his son. He stared him in the eyes. Although it was kinda logical for him to wanna see his dead wife, this look in his eyes was terrifying. Eric almost believed that this wasn't the look of his father like something had changed. Although he didn't give much importance on this strange instinct he had and showed the way to his father. They walked towards the big healing hall at the end of the corridor and got in. There, were two rooms. In the first room which was displaying while entering the hall ,the healer was waiting while talking with Amelia. When they heard footsteps nearing they both looked scared towards the door. The healer bowed and within seconds started fixing his equipment for taking care of the King.
"Where is my Queen?", the King asked angrily. He had a poker face with his eyes empty and so lost like those crazy, insane people that they had to lock at the jails of the kingdom. The healer signed and responded that she was with Queen Elsa.
"Queen Elsa is dead too?", Eric shouted and held tight from his father shoulder.
"No she's ok she's with our Queen",the healer replied and breathed out. "She wanted to say some last words. She'll be out in a couple of minutes",he responded and waited for someone's response in the silence of the room.
Elsa's POV
From my eyes thousands of tears were rolling to my red cheeks. I was holding her hand, her cold lifeless hand that once was caressing my hair. She was so calm lied down on her bed , having this poker face that dead people usually had. That face that yell to you that has no feelings anymore, that it feels nothing. I was standing helped by a walking stick because I was so injured on my leg that I had no chance on standing still by myself.
"Goodbye my Queen ,I'll never forget you….",I said with my voice trembling ,biting nervously my lips. I looked once more the cool face of my benevolent Queen and fended off with difficulty. After a couple of minutes I reached the door and I strangely heard voices coming out of there. I observed better and I saw King yelling at the healer that he wanted to enter the room where I've been, threatening him that nothing wouldn't stop him to. I goggled my eyes and approached closer the door where I could see clearly Eric and Thorian trying to hold him back not to attack the healer. Unfortunately he was out of control. "Where's the sweet King I knew?" , I mulled over and looked surprised the scene that was playing in front of me.
Actually I could listen their voices lowering and turning up and strikes on the tables of the room. I signed and got my poker, serious face and got out of the was immediately silence. "Very good", I thought and smiled inside. I walked slowly and steady, trembling a bit from my efforts to balance ,towards the healer. I nodded him while approaching and sat down on a chair nearby.
"My King I'm sorry for your lost…", I said feeling awkwardly while the words were coming out.
"Thank you my Queen, how's your injury?", he asked not giving much warmth at his voice, evidence that he didn't really care of how I was .
"It's ok…I'm really sorry that I couldn't help your wife when I was there….and I could saved her life..", I mumbled playing nervously with my fingertips.
"What do you mean? YOU WERE THERE?",he yelled at me with his eyes glowing from the intensity.
"Of course I was there, the guy who killed our Queen, your wife injured me too!",I replied with my voice turned off defending myself somehow.
The King walked back and forth nervously while caressing his beard. "Now tell how was this man? Do we know him?", he asked me and his look get darken.
But of course I had to inform them otherwise he might come back and no one understands his guilty .My eyes opened brightly and the smile appeared to my face. I felt that Hans was truly dead now. He had no chance after the truth would come out.
"The murderer is….", I almost said when suddenly the door opened with fury and displayed Hans who seemed terrified.
"Eric, Thorian , Uncle I was informed a couple of minutes ago …. i'm truly sorry for our lost…",he said and hugged Eric who seemed no surprised at all.
My eyes were goggled and I couldn't breath . The murderer was in front of me and bad for me I couldn't say a word because they would think I was in a kind of sock accusing their own cousin for a murderer.
"Eragon thank you buddy!,Thorian replied and hugged tightly his fake-cousin.
I was ready to throw up. I didn't feel well at all .And then Hans approached , staring me caring with his disgusting ironically look.
"My Queen do you feel well?",he asked me looking at my injured leg.
"Better than ever", I answered fake –smiling and hugged nervously with my whole body tent the insane prince in front of me. He hugged me back and laughed at the sight of my poker face.
"If you say something you're dead", he whispered near to ear and fended off.
I stood there, socked and scared biting my tongue ashamed watching him hugging his alleged family. He knew to play his role disgustingly good and that was terrifying.
"After the funeral I'm gone …",I mulled over and approached Amelia who stood speechless in the corner of the room.
(Reviews please)Hans is so annoying God...
