.:CHAPTER THREE: NEW MEMBER:.
"He wears his heart
safety pinned to his backpack
his backpack is all that he knows
shot down by strangers
whose glances can cripple
the heart and devour the soul"
- The Bird And The Worm 'The Used'
"Elsa! Mama and me are back early! Papa said he'd like to meet you! I told him you're the best swordsman I've ever known!" Olaf ran towards Elsa and Kristoff who were currently working on their swordsmanship. Elsa's forehead was covered in a layer of sweat, she was taking in huge breaths. She brought her hand to her forehead and whipped of the sweat. She smiled lightly and got down on one knee before Olaf could tackle her in one of his bear hugs. Nichol followed after Olaf holding another set of clothes and some supplies to help her with getting Elsa presentable. Olaf pulled away with a sour look on his face and pinched his nose.
"Ew! Elsa! You stink! You're in a desperate need of a shower!" Elsa and Kristoff burst into fits of laughter. Kristoff fell to the ground holding his sides trying to suck in air.
"Oh my god! That was the best thing I've seen all day! Man Elsa what could you have possibly done to stink so bad that Olaf won't give you hugs?" Elsa rolled her eyes.
"Well Elsa smells better than you any day Kristoff, because she doesn't smell like reindeer all the time." Elsa fell on to her back laughing tears streaming down her face. Kristoff got to his feet and dusted himself off before glaring at both Elsa and Olaf.
"Go to hell Elsa!" Kristoff snapped just making Elsa laugh even harder and Olaf to giggle at the scene. "And I thought you were on my side Olaf! You traitor!" Kristoff pointed a finger at Olaf with a smug look on his face. The queen stood back from the group with a look of love upon her face. Seeing all her children together, well except Kristoff but he was like her child anyways. The queens face faltered a bit as she remember that one of her children weren't allowed to join them in this moment. But now was not the time to think about it, she had come her on a mission to get Elsa ready and take her with them to the castle. They actually brought and extra horse for her. The queen cleared her throat. Everyone stopped what they were doing to look at the queen.
"Come on we got some stuff to get done. Kristoff go make sure yours and Elsa's stuff is ready." Kristoff did a mock salute, he turned on his heel and went off to do as he was told. Elsa tried to suppress her giggle at Kristoff along with Olaf but failed miserably. "Now as for you Olaf, would you mind going and getting the bucket we brought and fill it up with some water and soap please?" Olaf nodded his head and ran off towards the horses to go get the bucket and soap. The queen turns to Elsa. "As for you young lady, we're going to cut your hair. Come along now."
"Yes your majesty." Elsa followed after Nichol over to a rock. She gestured for Elsa to sit on the rock in front of her. Elsa did as she was told. Nichol placed a cloth around Elsa's neck but not too tight and tied a knot on the back. She undid Elsa's hair and let it flow down the girls back, her hair stopped half way down her back. Nichol ran her fingers through the hair then went to grab her scissors. While she was cutting Elsa's hair Olaf had brought the bucket back full of water and soap. He sat there and watched his mother finish trimming up Elsa's hair. The queen stepped back to look at her work. The sides and back of Elsa's head were practically buzzed the top was medium length for guys hair. She smiled. Elsa looked like a guy. She reached her hand in to the bucket and pulled out a rag.
"Close your eyes Elsa. Don't want any soap getting in to them." Elsa complied and did as she was told. After the queen had cleaned Elsa's hair the queen turned and picked up the bucket. Olaf giggled and the queen smiled and told him to shush. She turned around and lifted the bucket above Elsa's head and dumped it on her. Elsa jumped of the rock with start.
"Holy shit that's cold!" Olaf and the queen started laughing. Elsa wiped the water from her face and glared at the two.
"Well at least you don't stink now." Olaf managed out between laughs. Elsa's face turned as bright as a tomato. The queen and Olaf were laughing even harder. Elsa continued to glare at the two then smirked.
"Who wants hugs!?" Elsa started running towards Olaf who squealed and ran away from Elsa giggling the whole time.
"Not me! Your hugs aren't warm at the moment." Elsa finally caught Olaf and pulled him into a tight hug moving them from side to side.
"That may be true but your hugs are warm." The continued to giggle for a bit before she let Olaf go. Elsa then looked over to Nichol who was still giggling. Elsa smirked and started walking towards her. The queen saw this and turned serious.
"Elsa. Don't you dare do it." Elsa acted like she didn't know what she was talking about.
"What ever do you mean?" As soon as Elsa got close enough to the queen she wrapped her arms around her laughing.
"Elsa! Let go of me this instant!" She laughed out hitting Elsa lightly on the back. Elsa chuckled and let go of the queen. The queen smoothed out her ridding gear and glanced back at Elsa who was soaked to the bone. The queen turned and grabbed the clothed and handed them to Elsa.
"Go get changed. But hurry dear we need to leave soon if we want to get there in time for your test. Elsa smiled and ran off to go get changed. When she came back She was wearing her usual boots, black pants with Arendelle's symbol on it, a green jacket that stopped half way down her thighs, and white gloves. Her hair was slicked back and away from her face.
"Wow Elsa! You look like one of the guards! Doesn't she mama!?" Olaf pulled at his moms arm who smiled softly at him.
"Of course dear, but we're going to have to start calling Elsa Eric, got it Olaf?"
"Got it." He smiled and grabbed Elsa's arm. "Come on Elsa we got to hurry I want to show you to papa, Anna, and Rapunzel." Elsa smiled and followed after Olaf. The queen smiled and head off and got Kristoff then went on their way to the kingdom.
The city was amazing. The streets were crowded and were alive with the mid-day activities. But everyone stopped what they were doing and spread apart like the red sea when the queen, Olaf, Elsa, and Kristoff came through. Everyone was smiling and waving at them as they passed. Soon they made it to the castles gate. They were met with a few guards and servants, but in the middle was the king, Anna, and Rapunzel. The king showed no emotion upon the arrival, but very faintly you could see him smile at the queen and Olaf. Rapunzel turned and whispered in to Anna's ear. Anna turned read and smacked Rapunzel who put a hand to her mouth to cover her giggles. The four had stopped their horses and unmounted them and started walking towards everyone else.
"It's great to see you're back sweetie, and how's my little man doing?" The king took a step forward as did the queen and Olaf, while Kristoff and Elsa stood back from the crowd.
"I'm doing great papa! I was wondering if I could have Eric be one of my personal guards! He's really cool and great at fighting." The king looked over Olaf back at Kristoff and Elsa.
"Well young man come introduce yourself." Elsa flushed red.
"Of course your majesty." She took long strides in tell she reached the king. She bowed slightly.
"It's a pleasure to meet you your majesty. I'm Eric." Elsa stood straight again to see the king raising an eyebrow quizzically.
"What's you last name?" Elsa chuckled and rubbed behind her head. looking at the ground.
"I-I don't have one your majesty." The king huffed.
"Interesting. But now's not the time we must test you. I'm not going to allow some idiot to protect my family." The king turned on his heel and started walking off everyone following after him. The queen and Olaf stayed behind with Elsa. Olaf leaned in and whispered.
"Don't worry Elsa you'll do fine." Elsa smiled at Olaf who grinned in return. "I know you will. Oh! May I have a piggy back ride please~?" Elsa chuckled and bent down on the ground.
"Come on Olaf we better hurry." Olaf squealed and jumped on Elsa's back. They continued on their way to the training ground and stopped The king turned and looked at Elsa.
"Come forward Eric." Elsa did as she was told and took a step forward. "You'll be fighting the captain of the guards. Jack Frost." The king stepped out of the way to show a decent built man. He had white hair and blue eyes. He looked to be a few years older than Elsa about... 25?
"Get ready." Frost stated. Elsa did as she was told and unsheathed her sword and took a stance. Frost did the same. He smirked. "Begin!" He lunged at Elsa who took a side step and placed a foot to the side throwing him of balance. She took her chance and used the hilt of the sword and smacked him on his back making him fall. As fast as he fell he was up with a smirk on his face.
"Lucky shot." He stated. Elsa grinned. This time he slashed his sword downwards Elsa held up he sword and blocked it, she kicked her foot out and hit Frost's stomach making him fall on his ass. Elsa took her chance and stepped on his sword before he could pick it up. She kneeled down and placed the blade near his throat holding him in place. He was shocked. He's never been beat before. He smiled.
"You made it kid." Elsa smiled and got off of Frost and helped him up. He wiped himself off and sheathed his sword, Elsa following suit. He patted her shoulder.
"Great job Eric. Welcome to your new family." The king cleared his throat and they turned their attention to him. He smiled.
"Congratulations Eric. Your know one of our guards. You'll be stationed to protect Olaf from now on. Wait hold that, you'll be protecting Olaf and Anna. Here's your new sword. Dismissed!" He turned and left so did all the guards and servants. Leaving Olaf, Kristoff, the queen, Rapunzel, and Anna. Olaf ran towards Elsa and leaped into her arms.
"I told you! I told you Eric!" Elsa giggled at Olaf's antics
"I guess you were right Olaf." The queen walked over towards the two. Elsa let go of Olaf and looked at the queen.
"Hello your majesty."
"No need to be formal now, only when my husbands around. By the way well done." She smiled and brought Elsa into a hug. Anna and Rapunzel walked over to them. Elsa took a step forward grabbed Anna's hand and kissed it.
"Nice to meet you your majesty." Anna flushed red.
""N-N-Nice to meet you too! But please call me Anna." Elsa smiled and turned to Rapunzel and did the same thing. She turned back to the queen but before she could ask her question she spoke.
"He's getting ready to work her no need to worry." Elsa smiled and mouthed a 'thank you'. "I must take my leave now." Everyone said goodbye then Elsa turned to Olaf.
"What would you like to do?"
"Play knight versus dragon! I call knight you'll be the dragon!" Olaf and Elsa giggled.
"Well come on then!" The turned and ran off. Anna and Rapunzel following after them.
"He's pretty cute. That Eric." Rapunzel told Anna.
"I guess he is." She sighed dreamily watching her brother and Eric play around.
