(Salathi = Lord Redmoon)
(old)Author's Note: This is another one chapter I had been working on before my life became to crazy to focus on fanfiction for a while. this chapter covers what I plan to cover in two chapters but I want to get it out to you guys more. When i realize the next chapter come back and read this one as I will be adding more to the beginning and middle then taking the end into the next chapter and expanding it. I haven't proof read this one, nor used grammarly or a beta reader to work with it. I am just giving it as it is to give you guys something fun to read.
Author's Other Note: Oh and the imagination my werewolves take they looks directly from the movie Van Helsing from 2004 (google it) they have the best looking werewolves I have EVER seen. (though I am if anyone has seen other good ones let me know I would love to see them)
Cover Art: I have decided on a piece from Kimbbq on DeviantArt, it is a beautiful piece and thinking of the things to come in Frozen Blood, I think it fits well to the story.
Disclaimer: I own none of the Disney characters in my story.
Frozen Blood
Chapter 6
-+-+-+-+-+(Anna)+-+-+-+-+-
Pain, that was my only awareness. The only sense that seemed to be working was my sense of feeling, or perhaps that sense was being so overwhelmed that my other senses were unable to get into input to my brain. It felt as if every individual cell of my body was being cut with a knife.
I cannot honestly say how long the pain lasted only, it could have been only a few seconds or days and I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. Yet suddenly the black abyss that seemed to have swallowed all my other senses suddenly disappeared. I was in a forest, I was hot very hot, despite the snow falling around me. The forest was dead silent but for two heart beats and two pairs of lungs breathing softly a couple of feet away from me. the pain was gone as suddenly as my other senses returned.
I took a large shuddering breath as if my body had been deprived of air for over a minute and I noticed the pace of both heartbeats near me speed up. That was all I had noticed however because as I took that deep breath my eye fell upon the full moon above me and a new pain overtook me. Unlike the cold steel cutting pain of before this felt as if my body had suddenly burst into flame.
My back arched off the ground and I howled in pain as I heard and felt a few of my bones pop out of place.
"Olaf get back." I heard a deep voice say distantly as I twisted onto my side both my arms wrapped around my stomach as my insides feel as if they are rearranging.
"She won't hurt us Kris." a child like voice replied and I howled again as my nails seemed to rip themselves out of my fingers and my jaw popped out of place. I felt my body changing, my jaw was now growing longer and my feet were changing shape though I couldn't really tell into what through the pain.
A new sensation started to cover my body alongside the fire. My whole body felt as if I had fallen naked into a itch weed bush. While at the same time my thoughts started to grow groggy and slow, as if I was close to falling asleep. I struggled against it, my thoughts shifting to my sister. I thought about who she was, what she had done to herself to protect me. and more recently what we had become, the trust she had placed in me. I fixed my thoughts on her face, her smile which she always tried to cover and I held on to myself with her as an anchor. It helped my but still it was like trying to hold water in my cupped hands, I couldn't stop all the leaks.
After many minutes and with a final howl I felt my reason slip away and in their place instincts and primal needs flooded in. The first and strongest of my thoughts was hunger, I needed to hunt to survive. The second of my thoughts was of the two creatures standing close to me and my head jerked up. I smelt predators, unknown and possibly a threat as my eyes fixed on two completely naked males. both were blonde and muscled, yet one was much smaller than the other, clearly still a child.
The child took a step towards me and I growled a warning, immediately he froze. I didn't wish to harm this child, something about his scent was familiar. But I couldn't recall where. I gave another growl and stepped back while keeping my eyes on the both of them until they faded from sight in the forest. I heard the older one say
"We will track her when the full moon is over Olaf." But my animal mind put no meaning the sounds.
-+-+-+-+-+(Elsa)+-+-+-+-+-
I had been tracking the scent of Anna's blood for several hours now. The trail lead deep into the forest of the North mountain and I was well past anywhere I had traveled before. I had lost Anna's blood trail a few hundred feet back. Anna's blood trail has slowly started to spread farther and farther apart telling me she was running out of blood to lose. There had been a spark of hope briefly when I thought perhaps it just meant her bleeding was slowing and she was healing, but I knew that was impossible, Anna was mortal and there was no way she would heal that quickly. So the far spread blood trail was just another reminder that I was not following Anna to save her, but to avenge her.
There was something I did not understand however and that was the slight changes in the scent of Anna's blood, it was clearly Anna's yet it had thickened somehow, almost musky like a wolf.
There were two other scents that had been mixed in with Anna for this whole journey, I could only assume both were werewolves, though Kai had said he only sent one after Anna. Both of them had the musky like tint to their scent so the only conclusion I could come up with is that Anna was bleeding on them as they carried her body and her blood was catching part of that scent.
Nearly an hour later as I reached the other edge of the forest where the tree started to thin as they climbed up the North mountain, I heard them. Two heartbeats about a hundred yards northeast of me. Only a few moments later a breeze came from that same direction confirming that that heartbeats belonged to the two male scents I had been following. And Anna's death hit me again causing tears of pain and rage to burn in my eyes. Only two heartbeats, which meant Anna's heart was not longer beating. I burst into a full speed sprint towards the heartbeats, no longer forced to travel slowly in order to follow the scents, I dashed through the trees like the vengeful wrath I was making almost no sound as I moved. As I drew closer to the heartbeats I leaped into the branches overhead my predator instincts telling me to get to higher ground. Only a few seconds had passed from when I started my dash to when I burst from the highest branches of a large fir tree down into a small clearing where two naked men sat in the snow around a fire. As I sailed through the air I quickly registered that Anna's body was no where to be found and a blizzard started to fill the clearing. It was only the fact that I wanted to know what they had done with Anna's body that stopped me from killing the large man as I landed on top of him.
Instead of snapping his neck, I rolled us taking him completely by surprise he didn't even have a chance to make a sound before I launch us toward a large boulder at the edge of the clearing pinning him to it by his throat as I held him a foot off the ground. I heard the boulder crack a little from the impact and he yelled in pain. I formed simple dagger of ice in my free left hand and held it at my side within his vision.
"Where is her body" I snarled in fury as I squeezed his neck a little, but not so much that he couldn't speak.
"What? what are you ta-" he started to say but I interrupted him by squeezing his neck more.
"The body of the young woman you kill this night, my sister!" I shouted glaring at him as I grew my fangs to their full length. I left my mouth open as I growl in a low continuous note. I loosened my hold once again so that he could speak.
"I killed no one this night." He snarled kicking at me as his eyes flashed a rich butterscotch and I slammed him into the boulder again and brought my dagger up intending to bury it in his shoulder before I continued my interrogation when suddenly small black creature buried it fangs into my forearm and started to lash out its claws at any part of my body it could reach. I jerked away instinctively from the pain and with a jerk of my arm I tossed the creature into the man I had been interrogating. The small black creature which had the appearance of a humanoid wolf rolled with the impact and leap for me again snarling and I created a wall of ice that slammed into its side.
Before It could recover I forced it to the ground with another wall of ice, this one not disappearing after use but fixing itself around the creature, leaving only its head and neck free as I jumped forward with my dagger raised.
"She's alive!" the man shouted while I was in the air and I twisted to look at him as I landed right next to the frozen werewolf.
"What?" I asked in shocked, literally stunned by his words. No it must be a lie I thought after a moment as I glared at him.
"Your sister, the red headed woman, she is alive. I can take you to her, just please don't kill Olaf. He is just a child." he begged falling to his kneels with his head turned to the side to expose his neck.
I turned to look back at the werewolf at my feet only to see now that a small blonde child, who had to be no older than eight was in its place glaring up at me. "You hurt Kristoff, I will kill you." he threatened.
"Olaf, shut up." Kristoff hissed still on his knees.
"But she was hurting you, she was going to kill you!" He growled back.
"And she still can kill me, and you as well!" Kristoff snapped. "Now be silent and don't you dare attack her if she lets you free."
"My sister?" I asked Kristoff when it was clear Olaf had chosen to remain silent. I kept a tight leash on my hope, expecting to be tricked. Yet I couldn't let the possibility that she was alive slip from me.
"She changed, she is a werewolf now." He said and I immediately growled
"Then where is she!" I snarled. "I am not in the mood for lies."
"Its her first full moon and she has no pack, she is feral right now. I don't know where she is, We-" he gestured at Olaf to show he included him. "-were going to track her in the morning."
I took several moments to weigh his words. If Anna had truly turned into a werewolf it would explain why her scent had started to grow similar to that of these two. It would also mean she had healed and would explain why her blood trail had thinned out so much. It would explain why her body wasn't here with these two. And most importantly it was a chance that my world had not ended like I believed it had.
"Take me to her." I commanded waving my hand to free the child who immediately ran to Kristoff. Kristoff took him in his arms and Olaf immediately examined his now healed throat before turning to glare at me. But Olaf kept silent as Kristoff had ordered him too.
"I can do so now, but she will not recognize you. It is likely she will attack on sight. We should wait for morning." He said this still kneeling and with his eyes down, as if knowing I would not accept waiting. He was right as a feral growl of its own tore from my throat at the thought of being kept from my Anna.
"Then at least care for your arm before we set off. You are bleeding all over the snow." He said with a look of worry as he slowly got to his fight holding Olaf to him.
I jerked my head to look at my arm in shock. I was so used to my extremely fast healing, that I had dismissed the wound Olaf had inflicted without a second thought. Now looking at it, it didn't appear to be healing at all, like a mortal's wounds would be healing. I couldn't keep the frown from my face as I conjured snow over my arm then melted it to wash my arm clean of blood. The wound was ugly, Olaf had pulled some flesh from my arm when I threw him off me and it started bleeding anew as I cleaned it. To stop the bleeding I fill the wounds with ice, leaving my arm to appear in shape only as whole. The arm did ache terribly now that my fury was fading but I pushed it from my mind. Anna was far more important.
While I had cared for my arm, Kristoff and Olaf had a whispered conversation so quiet I only caught pieces of it. I heard Olaf use the word 'demon' a few times before she walked slowly towards me.
"I didn't know demon's had family." he said almost accusingly. I laughed at his word for me my eyes falling back to my arm.
"Is that what I am? A demon? I suppose it is a accurate description of me. I still do not fully believe my sister is alive. There was so much blood at the castle." At this I glared at the both of my, my desire to kill resurfacing. I could track Anna on my own I reasoned with myself, they could set me on the path, I would find her scene then I could kill them both and track her on my own. But as I quickly as I thought it I dismissed it. Looking at Olaf I couldn't help but see my sister when she was his age. And they clearedly both cared for each other like family. I couldn't kill Olaf he was just a child. And I couldn't kill Kristoff for that would leave Olaf alone.
"My entire pack was killed by someone who smelled very much like you. We were always told stories about the demons who smell like the dead, who drank the blood of others and cared for the life of no one but themselves. Are you such a creature?" Olaf asked as Kristoff came up behind him to rest a hand on Olaf's head.
"I am… except for the last part." I said slowly raising my eyes to Kristoff's. "I care for the life of my sister, So bring me to her now." I growled ending the conversation with Olaf. he did open his mouth to say more but Kristoff picked him up to interrupt and said in a deeper voice as he body started to change into blonde creature much like Olaf's but larger. "We hunt now Olaf." and Olaf immediately started changing as well.

(A full week after the full moon Anna hasn't changed back. Will go into my detail when i rewrite chapter)
I raised my head from the corpse of another elk I had hunted. My third today in fact, yet my hunger would not subside. I smelled three predators approaching me. Two were the familiar yet unknown scents from before, but the third was completely alien. The scent made my wolf mind think of terrible blizzards, freezing death and pain. Instantly all the fur on my body was on end and I growled low in my throat before I turn and fled. I knew three one one were very bad odds, and to flee was the better choice.
Yet they did not fall behind as I ran up the mountain, the three scents were always behind me, no matter where I turned. And as I traveled up the mountain a snow storm started to form on the mountain.
I could not lose them as I traveled through the mountain though I went through many crevices that would have been a maze to most creatures. Yet in the end I was cornered. the now raging blizzard had prevented me from seeing that I had trapped myself on three sides with a steep drop, and the only way out was back the way I had come yet when I turned I saw my pressuring. Two wolves like me and I woman.
I was trapped, cornered and my fear was turning to rage. I would not be trapped, held captive. I snarled viciously at the three and the two wolves backed away. But the woman slowly walked forward her arms held out to her sides. She spoke and though I heard the words they held no meaning for me.
"Sister, My love. Please come back to me." She pleaded, but all I cared about was that she was still walking towards me. I snarled again flashing my fangs in warning, yet still she came. She said more things to me that I did not hear as I crouched low ready to pounce at her. The moment she was in range I would attack and I would kill, then I would escape. The two wolves had already shown they would not challenge me.
The moment she took the last step needed to put in her range I leaped at her snarling. The woman didn't even try to defend herself. But I did noticed her eyes change. from a look of hope to one of defeat and swarrow. I slashed at her with my clawed hand leaving deep gashes across her chest and sending her flying a few feet where she landed on her back. Before she could get up I pounced again landing on top of her and digging both my clawed hands into her. One into her gut and the other into her shoulder as I snapped at her throat. Her arm came up in a flash and my jaw closed around it biting deeply. I could feel my fangs hit bone, yet I was unable to break the bone in my jaw. Her other hand came up and gently touched the side of my head which made me growl and dig my claws in further. I could see the pain her her eyes but she didn't make a sound as she fixed her eyes on mine.
"I am so sorry love. I should have been there to save you from this." she whispered stroking the side of my face, as I continued to claw at her body under me snapping at her neck only to be blocked again by her arm. She kept speaking, though her sounds meant nothing to me. "I deserve to die, for so many reason." her words meant nothing but I could see the fight leaving her eyes, and I knew my kill was close to being complete. She closed her eyes and lowered her arm. And before I could close my jaws around her neck she said something that finally broke through my feral mind. "I love you, snowflake." and at those whispered words it was as if a cold bucket was dumped over my head. My human mind came surging to the surface and I whined and quickly pulled my bloody claws from her body.
"Elsa?" I whispered, in a deeper voice, it was still my voice, but husky. Her eyes fluttered but did not open and I nuzzled her face frantically, the horror of what I had done to her sinking in. I remembered everything. Everything I had done, and even thought while I had been feral.
"No no no no no no." I whimpered desperately as I tried to wake her. I was beyond scared. She had told me how quickly her wounds healed now. How her flesh seemed to pull itself over any wounds she had and restored itself in only a couple of seconds. Yet every wound I had inflicted on her was raw and bleeding, without any sign of healing taking place.
After over a minute of trying to wake her and failing I lifted my head to the sky and howled my sorrow.
Author's Note: Just a reminder this chapter is rough and I will expand it and split it into two when I have time to work on this story again. So when chapter 7 does come out come back and read this chapter again (or just skim it if you want :P) for any more details and changes I will put in. When I add more I will explain the slower healing wounds.
