Divergence (Chapter 6)
October, 18'Th, 1840: Arendelle city, Kingdom of Arendelle, Arendelle Castle, Breakfast nook.
Elsa sat across from her sister half-heartedly reading that morning's edition of the 'Arendelle Times Herald', while trying to figure out why the girl wasn't hung over from the insane amount of whisky she drank the night before. "She's even up early enough to have breakfast with me, and it's Saturday" Elsa thought.
Anna had been sitting there for about twenty minutes eating breakfast and making small talk with her sister; all the while wearing her shot glass crown. Elsa had been ignoring it, but finally felt she had to say something. "Anna would you please take that silly thing of your head."
"But it's my crown" Anna replied in a hurt voice.
"Well you're not defending you title today." "Or ever again" "So take it off."
Anna frowned as she took the crown off. "You're wearing a crown." The Princess commented as she looked up and down Elsa's form seated across from her. In lieu of her ice dress and braid, The Queen was wearing a high collared purple dress with discrete green rosemaling and had her hair up in its traditional bun, topped off with off course her crown.
"I am a Queen, and Queens get to wear a crown." Elsa replied as she continued to read her paper.
"Well I'm a Queen too, the Queen of shots." Anna said as she crossed her arms.
Elsa pondered this for a moment; an outside observer would say that Anna was being insolent or that Elsa was being a hard ass, depending on their view points; but Elsa knew that Anna was just being Anna and she certainly did not think that Anna was unworthy of a crown, Elsa just didn't want people snickering behind the girls back. It would not do for the Queen to freeze some snooty noble because they made fun of her little sister. "Might I remind her majesty, that the Queen of Shots is a vassal to the Queen of Arendelle?" Elsa mused.
"Ok" Anna said dejectedly and left the crown on the table.
Elsa felt a small tinge off guilt. "Really bitch; you couldn't just let her have that"; the older sister thought spitefully at herself.
As a servant carrying dirty plates from the sister's breakfast walked past Anna, she snatched a cherry tomato from of off one and popped it in to her mouth; this brought a chastising look from Elsa.
"Anna, you are a lady and you know how to act like one." Elsa said from behind her paper.
"Elsa, don't you love me for me." Anna asked in a sad little pout. (A.N.: yes I have Anna pouting a lot, and it's adorable when she does it, so there.)
"I do love you for you, that's why I want everyone to see you at your best" Elsa responded pleasantly.
"I only do that stuff with you; everyone else gets to see 'stick up the butt McPrissy pants'." Anna said proudly.
"Who, dare I ask is that? Elsa asked.
"Who 'stick up the butt McPrissy pants'?"
"Yes" Elsa said trying very hard not to laugh.
Even though the Queen was trying not laugh, Anna saw the smile coming across her sister's lips. "Stick up the butt McPrissy pants is the good girl you always want me to be in public. What's wrong Elsa does the phrase 'stick up the butt McPrissy pants' make you want to laugh?"
"No, of course it doesn't."
"Of course what doesn't?" Anna asked with the most innocent expression she could muster.
"You know what" Elsa said lowering her eyes a little. The Blonde knew exactly what her mischievous little sister was up to.
"Oh" Anna said drawing out the word in a feigned epiphany. "You mean 'stick up the butt McPrissy pants'."
"Yes, now stop saying that." Elsa said as she burst into laughter.
"Saying what, 'stick up the butt McPrissy pants'?"
"ANNA" Elsa said now full on laughing.
"Ok, I'll quit. Oh by the way, speaking of things going up the butt, your inspection of the prison is today right?"
"Anna that is not funny, if I find out that people are being victimized there will be serious changes and repercussions for any prison official that has been allowing it thru his own actions or turning a blind eye." Elsa said in a more serious and chastising tone.
"I'm sorry" Anna said weekly as she turned away from Elsa in shame.
Seeing this Elsa looked over to the door and placed a strong layer of ice over it with a wiggle of her fingers , and then got up to walk around to Anna's side of the table. Reaching the girls chair, the Queen pulled Anna up and took her spot on the chair and then placed Anna on her lap. The Princess wrapped her arms around her sister.
"Anna I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel bad."
"It's ok, not like you've never got on to me before." Anna said leaning in to her Snow Queen.
"Anna, I know that you were just teasing and didn't mean anything spiteful. You are wonderful on so many different levels and not always being prim and proper is just part of who my special baby sister is."
"I'm not a baby" Anna said with the second pout since she got up this morning.
"No you're not; because this would be very wrong if you were," Elsa said before pulling Anna into a kiss.
When they pulled apart Anna's sad face had been replaced with the normal happy one that Elsa could never get enough of.
Rubbing the Princess's back, Elsa spoke to the girl. "Anna when I get back from the inspection, we are going to do something really fun and probably against my better judgment, ok."
"That sound great Elsa, but I kind of wanted to go with you."
"To the Prison! No Anna absolutely not."
"But it would be a great learning experience for me. After all the Regina Surrogatus has to know more than just icky boring Math."
"Anna math is very fun if you give it a chance, after all Monday morning's lesson will be about binomial equations.
"Blech, hey if I promise to have fun with these bisexual equations, will you let me go with you?"
"Anna, the 'Tar Det Opp I Ræva' Correctional facility is a dangerous place full of very bad people; the kind of people I don't want anywhere near my baby sister. And don't say it, because you will always be my baby sister regardless of how old you are or how much maturity you have shown in the past couple of weeks." Elsa let out a sigh realizing what she had just said and then continued "And that is why I'm going to allow you to come with me."
"Yay" Anna cheered and hugged Elsa again.
"And I said binomial equations not bisexual and you know it. Anna started to giggle as Elsa looked at the clock on the wall, which read seven fifty.
"That sort of inappropriate humor is below a princess; however, you care little for propriety and I have an eight A.M. appointment with the Official Ice Master and Deliverer, so I don't have time to lecture you about. The meeting won't take more than fifteen minutes. That means I will only have to wait another forty five for you to get ready." Elsa added the last part with a smile.
"Hey I don't take that long." Anna said defensively.
"We will see. Now, as much as I like you sitting on my lap you need to hop up so I can go to my appointment." The Queen said while tapping Anna's nose playfully.
….
May, 5'Th, 2001: Los Angeles, United States, International House of Pancakes on Sepulveda Blvd.
"Ethan" a voice called out from one of the restaurant's booths.
The twenty six year old man with brown hair looked over to see his friend Alex call him with a wave. As he reached the booth Ethan smiled and sat down across from Alex.
"So do you plan on staying in L.A. or going back to Boston?" Alex asked.
"L.A. no contest, the Boston winters have been kicking my ass, I hate ice and snow."
Glad to hear it. So PhDs in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and of course particle physics in six years oh and your one of the few graduates who entered with a G.E.D."
"Yeah I call it my Good Enough Diploma." Ethan responded with a chuckle.
"So what did they do, clone you from Einstein's toe nail clippings or something." Alex ribbed.
"Hey that was funny; you only manage to come up with a good joke every six months; so hey I'm honored that you would use such a finite resource on me."
Alex responded with the finger and a smirk before speaking again. "Well again I'm glad you staying in Los Angeles, because there is someone I'd like you to meet."
"Alex, I swear to god, if you are setting me up on another blind date…"
"Oh here she is" Alex said standing up.
Ethan stood up as well, turning to see a petite woman around twenty two with black hair in a pixie cut and pale skin, while Alex started to make introductions.
"Dr. Ethan Becket I would like you to meet…"
Alex was cut off when Ethan stuttered out "M, Molly?!"
….
October, 18'Th, 1840: Arendelle city, Kingdom of Arendelle, Arendelle Castle, Queen Elsa's study.
"Come in" Elsa answered in a cheerful voice as she heard the knock on the door.
"Um… you wanted to see me your majesty." Kristoff said nervously as he stuck his head thru the door."
"Yes, I did, thank you for coming on such short notice." The young blonde said in a happy voice.
Elsa kept her cheerful manner as she motioned for Kristoff to come in, "Please have a seat"
As the large ice master sat down Elsa twirled her fingers and restraints composed of ice appeared on his wrist and ankles; this elicited a gasp from the blond man.
"Relax Kristoff; those are there just so you do not try to run away."
Kristoff gulped in fear.
"So let us start with your disobedience to the ban I placed on carrots."
"Your maja…." The man started but was cut off by Elsa in mid-sentence.
"I am still talking, and you need to remain quiet until I give you permission to speak. Can I trust you to do that without placing an ice gag over your mouth?"
Kristoff nodded
"Excellent, now as for the ban on carrots, which is extended for an additional month by the way. I did not place that ban on you because I wanted to be spiteful. You helped Anna take advantage of a royal from another kingdom. Even though Punzie is my and Anna's cousin, she is still a visiting foreign dignitary, and you could have started a war, What do you think King Arron would think about his sweet long lost daughter being taken advantage of like that. Anna is the reckless one not you, you know better Kristoff. You also know better than to defy your Queen, but that is what you have done."
Elsa noticed Kristoff starting to tremble. "Good, this is a nice start. That's right reindeer boy you should be scared."
Elsa carried on. "Disobeying a direct order from your monarch is quite a serious charge; but even it pales in comparison to the scandalous things you said about me. Kristoff I am genuinely hurt by what you said. Now I know people say things they don't mean when they are angry or upset, but what was it you said… oh right 'what that frigid bitch needs is someone to dick her down, even if it's Sven.' I am afraid I do not fully comprehend that sentence. Now I am not completely sure, but I think you were implying that some random man should insert his member inside of me and that it would even be acceptable for your pet… no please excuse me… your friend, a reindeer to do it."
Kristoff had his eyes shut afraid to even look at Elsa.
"Now Kristoff if I am interpreting this right, you implied that the frigid bitch… oh that must be me, you know the Queen of Arendelle… should be sexually satisfied by an animal, even one as wonderful as Sven, well please tell me if that is. You know have my permission and command to speak."
Kristoff cleared his throat and tried to come up with something to say.
"I, I…I have no excuse for my actions or words, your majesty." Kristoff said with his head down.
"Just so we are clear, you admit your guilt for the serious crimes of defiance and slander of your Queen." Elsa said still keeping a pleasant tone to her voice.
"Yes your majesty." Kristoff answered with his head down, hoping that he would receive a quick death.
"Well then, all that is left then is deciding a proper punishment" Elsa said while tapping her finger on her desk.
The Queen snapped her fingers and let her eyes go wide with a false expression of inspiration. "Ahh the stocks could be a good choice."
After saying that to the ice harvester Elsa fluttered her hands and fingers in an exaggerated wave creating a moving diorama of Kristoff in the stocks being pelted with vegetables by laughing children out of frosted ice.
"Well that doesn't seem so bad now, dose it K-man?" Elsa asked smiling.
Kristoff whimpered.
"Hmm… actually that might be acceptable for the disobedience, but not for the slander. To be honest the penalty for those sorts of seditious remarks call for a more severe punishment." Elsa commented as she gave a wave of her hand changing the scene to an image the blond man swing from the end of a rope."
"Ahhh" Kristoff screamed in terror.
"Oh would this be more to your liking." With another flick of her wrist the scene changed up again; this time into the now terrified young man locked into a guillotine and the lever being pulled by an ice version of Olaf.
"Well regardless of the method, we know the result." Elsa said now changing the diorama to a grave stone with the words 'here lies reindeer boy he pissed off the Queen'. Next to the ice gravestone was an ice version of Sven tossing a bouquet of flowers on to the raised dirt with his teeth.
Elsa noticed a tear forming in Kristoff's eye and decided that this portion of his atonement was finished. With a movement of her fingers she released the restraints and told him to stand. When he stood up Elsa walked over and placed her hands on his shoulders.
"Kristoff, Even though your relationship with her is over, you were very good to my Anna. I have not forgotten that. So I will not be punishing you with any of those methods."
Kristoff sighed in relief.
"So instead I will be punishing you with this method" Elsa held out her hand and allowed a long paddle composed of ice to appear.
The Ice Master's face became twisted with shock and fear.
"Kindly lower you trousers and bend over my desk." Elsa said, still not losing her smile.
….
"Hey little red, where's the crown?" Flynn Rider (the Coronan thief turned prince would start swinging if anyone other than his wife Rapunzel callas him Eugene.) asked as he walked up to Anna who was standing in the bottom floor entrance to the castle that led out to the front court yard, leaning on the door frame.
"Elsa made me take it off." Anna said with a pout (A.N. yes she's pouting again, deal with it ;-)
"Well that's just mean. Hey if I tell you a joke do you think you would feel better."
The young princess nodded with a small grin."
Flynn started to tell the dirtiest joke that came to mind. "Ok so these three dicks are hanging out in the break room.
Elsa started to walk around the circular interior balcony, gliding her hand along the ornate wrought iron railing. As the Queen approached the stair case in the middle she could see and hear Anna and Flynn.
"The first dick said "my owner is great, he rubs me down every night with baby oil, and it's wonderful.""
"The second dick speaks up yeah well my guy is amazing too, he uses lotion and is real gentle."
"Then the third dick wipes some sweat of his forehead and goes "Yeah well mine's a son of a bitch." He shoves me in this dark hole every night and makes me do pushups till I puke." Anna started to giggle. Flynn the flashed a sinister grin. "And If it rain's red I halve to do it twice."
Anna burst out laughing. "Holy shit that's funny."
"Anna language, that's one."
"Uggh." Anna groaned out loud as she spun around to see her sister Elsa slightly adjusting her bun (a recent physical activity involving Kristoff and a lesson well learned she hoped; had made it come loose.)
"Flynn was using bad words too." Anna said in a whinny voice.
Elsa walked up to Anna and spoke as she crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows with a wide smile. "Flynn isn't my little sister." Anna sulked some more.
Elsa then turned to Prince Consort Flynn Rider (legal name he had it changed). And spoke with a flat face "You are still a pig."
"Thank you; I do try your majesty."
The Queen rolled her eyes and turned back to Anna and leaned her head down to kiss the Princess on the fore head lightly. The moment Elsa's lips touched her little sister's skin, the pout turned to a slight grin.
"I wish you hadn't worn your hair in those twin braids, the prison is bound to be full of degenerates lusting over you."
"Oooh do you think they will picture me when their pounding off tonight." Anna added with a devilish giggle as she pulled a rise out of her sister.
"ANNA!" Elsa said in alarm to Anna's joke.
"What, is the Queen of Arendelle jealous because some criminals are going to be thinking about her little sister when they spank the…" Anna was cut off by Elsa, who had quite enough of Anna's teasing.
"Anna if you finish that sentence you're going to be the one getting spanked.
Anna laughed some more, before retorting. "We don't have time to go back to your room."
"I'll give you one on the way over there in the carriage if you don't quit being a pain." Elsa said half playing. Anna's response to this threat was just to pull Elsa in close and kiss her.
After breaking there passionate kiss, Anna displayed her skill with non sequiturs.
"Hey I heard screaming come from you study, is everything ok?"
"Oh Kristoff stubbed his toe."
"Oh, ok." Anna said with some suspicion but decided to not push the matter; and the thought "He stubbed his toe twenty times in a row? Wow, I thought I was the klutz… why was he bare foot in Elsa's study to begin with?"
Flynn, who had been standing on the other side of the staircase watching the two sisters at didn't know exactly what to think, but he knew it was hot. Quickly Prince Flynn ran upstairs looking for Rapunzel, he had to do something about his raging hard on.
….
May, 5'Th, 2001: Los Angeles, United States, International House of Pancakes on Sepulveda Blvd.
"Ethan?" The young woman asked in shock. Tears had started forming in her eyes as she recognized the man in front of her, someone she had said good bye to a lifetime ago.
"Is that really you Moll?" Dr. Becket asked slowly.
He was the only one who ever called her that and hearing Ethan call her Moll for the first time in fourteen years made the young woman break down in sobs of joy as she threw her arms around the first person who ever cared about her.
"Oh my god, Ethan. I thought you were dead… When Alex told me your name was Ethan I didn't… I mean I had no idea…" Molly stammered.
"I didn't see this coming either." The young man said as he held molly tightly to his chest, not wanting to let her slip away.
"Oh Ethan, I love you. I never forgot about you." Molly said holding on to Becket like he was going to float away if she loosened up her grip."
"I love you to precious," Ethan said as he leaned down and kissed the small raven haired girl on the forehead.
"So I guess you guys know each other." Alex offered from his seat in the booth as every customer in the dinner stared at the man and woman locked in each other's arms.
….
October, 18'Th, 1840: Arendelle city, Kingdom of Arendelle, 'Tar Det Opp I Ræva' Correctional Facility."
As the coachman approached the gates of Tar Det Opp I Ræva Correctional Facility, a guard shouted. "Who goes there?"
"The royal carriage, you are requested and required to permit entry." The coachman said as he flashed the royal seal.
The royal couple took the exchange happening outside the carriage as a signal to break apart from there chaste make out session (Elsa had caught Anna's hand both times she had tried to place her hand under her dress, and made snow appear down the back of Anna's dress the second time; this elicited a yelp and then a giggle from the Princess.)
"Anna, somethings happen at their own pace. You have to be patient." Elsa said to the princess as the younger girl crawled out of her lap."
"Elsa you always say no, don't you think I'm pretty" Anna lamented.
"You know I do, my little princess"
"Then why won't you slam me with a huge ice dick or something."
"Anna language, that's two."
"Ugh fine, but come on there is no part of you that want's to turn me over a table and fu…"
Elsa cut her off "Anna I am debating with turning you over a table, but not for the reasons your thinking."
Anna caught the hint, and then giggled "Te he he"
. Before either sister could say anything else, the coachman's voice cut in. "Your majesty, we have cleared the front gates and our convoy is being led to a parking area." He called thru a little horn that reached from the coachman's seat into the royal carriage."
"Thank you Coachman."
Once the two sisters had disembarked from there carriage, A phalanx of twelve guards surrounded the two royal sisters.
"Um Elsa, I understand the need for security but this is a bit much." Anna commented on the fact that Elsa had brought a dozen guards.
"It's this or I place you inside a giant ice bubble the entire time we are here; and keep your hand in mine the whole time." Elsa said as she clasped her hand around her little sister's.
"Aww that is so sweet" Anna cooed.
"No Anna, don't do that right now. These are hardened criminals who haven't been with a woman in a long time, hence why I'm not wearing my ice dress. Sweetie I don't even want to know about how they will react to you at full on adorable Anna."
Anna then smirked, remembering their conversation from a few minutes ago. "Probably by choking their chi…"
The Princess was cut off by Elsa whisper shouting, "ANNA BEHAVE".
May5'TH, 2002: Mount Whitney, United States; Sequoia National Park, Fifteen miles west of Lone Pine, California.
"Moll this is insane, what if I drop you?" Ethan said to his dark haired girlfriend as he dangled the petite by her ankles over the side of the summit.
"Ethan, I weigh a hundred and ten pounds; a big strong man like you should have no trouble holding me up, now should you."
"Attacking my machismo doesn't change how dangerous this is."
"I just halve to get a shot of thissky pilot." The young woman adjusting her camera to take a picture of the lavender flower that only grows above ten thousand feet.
"So who's getting this, National Geographic or something?" The man lamented, wanting to finish up this nerve wracking task.
"I have no idea, my agent called and said he needed a picture of a sky pilot…Got it" Molly shouted as she pressed the shutter release.
"Good" A nervous Ethan pulled her back up on to the summit.
Molly dusted off her pants and set the camera down and pulled Ethan in to a long deep kiss. "I love you baby" she said after they broke apart.
"I love you too moll, though I wouldn't mind loving you somewhere warmer."
"Good god, you are such a wuss when it comes to the cold, come here I'll warm you up." Molly said as she sliped her arms around the brown haired man's neck.
"So were all alone up here." Ethan said with a suggestive waggle of his eyebrows as he slid his arms around her waist.
"That was my plan." Molly said as she stared into his eyes.
"Plan?"
"Do you know what today is Ethan?"
"Cinco de Mayo."
"Try again, and get it right or you sleeping on the couch." Molly replied as she slapped his arm.
"Alex brought us back together a year ago today." Ethan answered while pecking her on the lips.
"Good; and the plan is to break a centuries old tradition." Without another word Molly took Ethan's hand into hers and went down on one knee. Ethan's eyes almost popped out of his skull as he watched Molly pulled out a small box and opened it to show a platinum ring encrusted with diamonds this was the last thing he ever expected from molly; and he had learned to expect a lot from the happy little ball of energy.
"For years I loved the memory of the brave boy who saved my life. Because of this boy, my grandparent's found me and took me away from a hellish life. This boy was the first person to ever love me, he held me when I was scared or in pain. Over the last year I have fallen in love with the man that boy grew up to be. Ethan you are the Sun, the Moon, and everything underneath. Will you make me the happiest woman in the world? Will you marry me?"
Ethan's knee's felt week and his lips trembled as he pulled Molly up into an embrace.
"Yes, yes Moll; I love you" Ethan stuttered out running his fingers thru her hair.
"I love you baby, now let me show you why I wanted us to be alone." Molly said before pulling off her shirt leaving her in a red lace bra.
Ethan just stared silently as she undressed, he had made love to Molly hundreds of times in the past year, but the sight of her perfectly flawless porcelain skin and perfect figure still took his breath away.
"Are you just going to stand there and stare at my boobs, or are you going to take your pants off?" Molly laughed as she threw her panties at him.
….
October, 18'Th, 1840: nødlidende og fordervede Province, Kingdom of Arendelle, 'Tar Det Opp I Ræva' Correctional Facility."
As the outer gates to the prison opened Elsa leaned in and whispered into Anna's ear. "Anna I expect you to be a good girl while we are here. That means no dirty jokes and certainly no uses of the word 'cornholeing', got it?"
"Yes Elsa I'll be good" Anna said in a sing song voice.
"You had better be."
When the gates had completely opened, a short balding man walked out and bowed.
"You majesty and your highness, I am Director of Operations Ulric Frode. Welcome to the 'Tar Det…" Anna cut him off.
"Yeah can it and take us to the corn holing."
Elsa hid her face with her palm out of embarrassment.
As the warden and the two royals approached the inner gates the warden gave an order to a man standing in a room adjacent of the gate, thru a bared window.
"Open the inner gate"
As the gates slide open in to a cavity, Anna noticed the lack of guards pulling it. "Elsa look! They have magic gates that open by themselves.
"Umm. I'm afraid not your highness, the gate works on a system of pulleys and gears; all driven by a steam piston. The 'Tar Det Opp I Ræva' Correctional Facility. Is the most advanced prison in all of Scandinavia. All of the correctional officers are issued the latest in firearms technology and training; no antiquated swords and crossbows hear." The warden said to Anna as they made their way onto a cell block, the first to be inspected.
"Well that's all fine and dandy, but we didn't come to see steam powered doors; so quit stalling and take us to the corn holing." Anna said before Elsa's hand covered the redhead's mouth.
"What my little sister is trying to convey, is that we are more interested in the rumors of prisoners being victimized." Elsa said to the warden.
"And just rumors, nothing more, I assure you your majesty." Frode said as he led them down the cell block.
"You gonna be my bitch tonight fish." A convict shouted in the background.
Elsa and Anna both turned to look at the warden upon hearing the prisoner's threat.
"Well our official policy... BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!" Director Frode never finished his sentence because he along with all twelve castle guards hit the ground dead from gunfire.
Anna was flat on her stomach with Elsa lying on top of her. "Stay still Anna, no one will hurt you I promise."
"Don't make promises you can't keep, you majesty" A gruff voice spoke as Elsa looked up to see three convicts pointing pin fire revolvers at the two them.
"I feel as much as a cool breeze and I blow you fucking brains out got it bitch?"
Elsa nodded slowly, while still trying to shield Anna
The gruff man then screamed out so the remaining prison officials could hear him. "I have the Queen and Crown Princess in here, and if you don't want me to blow their royal asses away, you're going to follow my demands."
Thank you for reading, please review.
