The sleigh skidded to a stop, snow flying everywhere. The guard standing at the door trembled slightly as he stared at the smoke pouring front eh engine of the sleigh, the reindeers pawing harshly at the snow, nostrils flaring. The Guardians sitting inside were definitely something to take in for the guard- you didn't see a fairy and an overgrown rabbit everyday!
"Quick!" Kristoff ordered, jumping off the sleigh, holding Anna in his arms, shivering and sneezing. Her her was now completely white, not a single strand of red left, "Open the gates!"
"May i ask why?" the guard inquired. Kristoff rolled his eyes, scowling. Anna let out a loud having cough, mucus staining Kristoff's coat.
"She's dying!" Kristoff was nearly screaming now, clutching Anna so tightly she thought he might break eery bone in her body. The guard peered ta her, his eyes widening in shock and awe.
"Is that…?" he whispered, pointing to her. Anna lift dyer chin, glaring at the guard, then letting out a sneeze, Kristoff rubbed her nose with a gloved hand.
"It's okay, it's okay," Kristoff mumbled to her, trying his best to keep her warm. There wasn't any use in doing so though. He could feel her body get coder with each second they wasted standing there, the clock ticking away mindlessly until he knew she would freeze soon.
"We don't have time to waste with you!" Kristoff tried pushing past the guard, but he held them at bay, clutching a spear tightly. Kristoff noticed him shaking- probably from fear or cold, but he couldn't discern which.
"I need to know who that is before I can let you in," the guard's back stiffened as he fixed his tall hat, a magenta plume sticking out at the top.
"Who says?!" Kristoff demanded. The guard glared at him.
"Prince Hans of the Southern Isles," the guard answered, "and if you speak to me like that again i can report you. I'm a royal guard. You're nothing but a civilian." Bunny, standing int eh sleigh, hugging himself (although he was covered in fur already, so he shouldn't have been cold) rolled his eyes, stamping his foot on the floor of the sleigh. North put a beefy hand on his head.
"No stomping in sleigh," he said, "I just had the floor waxed!"
"And we're all gonna freeze if we don't get inside!" Bunny hissed, watching as Kristoff fought with the guard, Anna freezing to death- literally.
"Listen, buster!" Kristoff glared, "Hans is not the ruler of Arendelle!"
"Princess Anna left him in charge!" the guard shot back, "so until she gets back i can't let y in! Hans orders!"
"Well guess what buddy?! She's back!" Kristoff was now shrieking, his voice echoing on the blistering winds, howling on the horizon. The Guardians clapped their hands over their ears, Bunny flattening his against his head. Anna cowered against Kristoff's chest, tucking her chin into his coat.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Kristoff apologized to her, his voice rising with panic.
"It-it's….o-o-o-okay….Kristoff," Anna stammered out, her teeth chattering like a nutcracker. Kristoff turned to face the guard, "Here is Princess Anna. She needs to see Hans now!"
The guard jumped, turning to pull open the doors, muttering apologies all the while, worry crossing his face.
"If only I had known, i would have let you in sooner!" the guard said to Anna, who lifted her head weakly, watching as the doors groaned open.
"Get,….me…. to….. Hans…." she panted, her chest feeling tight, twisting and churning her insides as the cold crept through her veins, "….now."
