AUTHOR'S NOTE: My apologies for this late update! I was just having writer's block and was super busy. But anyway, thanks for reading this! Here's chapter five!
I arrived at the North Mountain and became invisible. Standing before me was something truly amazing that I'd never even dreamed about - a castle, made entirely out of ice. My mind immediately thought back to whenever Elsa had transformed my suit from fabric into ice.
Is it possible that Elsa could've made this? I thought.
I decided to investigate the castle, thinking maybe she could've escaped and hidden here.
I opened the door and heard a loud, echoing thud as it closed behind me. Suddenly, to my surprise, I heard a man's voice from upstairs say, "What the heck was that?"
Abruptly, thundering steps came thumping down the glass-like steps toward me. I panicked, and was about to turn and run.
Oh wait, I'm invisible, remember? I thought.
Three men stood before me, huffing and puffing while staring at the door. You didn't even have to look at their twisted, angry expressions to know that they were guys you did not want to mess with. They gave off an aura of pure hatred and a couple of other mixed, negative emotions, that definitely were not…well, fun.
"Who goes there?" A tall man with hair as dark as night shouted.
After a long pause, another one spoke.
"Search the premises." The average looking man said.
They frantically ran off in different directions, searching the castle as I tried my best to breathe softly.
When they returned, the other man inquired, "It was probably just the wind. I've seen that door move when it gets really bad out there before."
To prove his point, I gently opened the door a little and let it thud again.
"See? We were all watching it that time." I tiptoed out of the way as he went over to the door, opened it, and looked outside. "No one's there."
"I thought Anna would be here by now." The average-looking man said. "In order for this to work, we need her out of the picture too."
I started to get goosebumps. I was also getting agitated, for I needed to get out of there and find Elsa.
Finally, the tall man said, "I'll go check on the girl, just in case."
The three men dispersed. I followed the tall man as the other two went into another room to "strategize the downfall planned" (their words, not mine). I quietly tailed the guy up the stairs and into another even bigger room. He caught me off guard, however, by looking up and then instantaneously turning around, causing me to jump out of the way and smack myself off of the floor.
"What're you doing up there?" he yelled at the ceiling. "You know you're not coming down, silly princess."
I looked up, and there, hanging from the ceiling in a cage made out of ice, was Elsa.
"It's queen, actually." she replied, blankly. "And that wasn't me."
"Sure." he replied with a smirk. He then got a rock from his pocket and threw it at the cage, causing it to shake and Elsa to panic while attempting to hold on to something. "And that wasn't me, either. " he retorted as he walked out of the room.
It took all of my strength not to just punch the guy in the face right then and there. What a jerk!
After making sure the coast was clear, I flew up to Elsa's cage, and whispered, "Elsa?"
Startled, she whispered, "Great. Am I going crazy?"
"No." I replied, making myself visible.
"Jack?" she whispered, skeptically. She reached her hand between the bars and touched mine. "Jack! You shouldn't be here!"
"What?" That wasn't exactly the response I'd been expecting. "I mean..why? I've come to save you!"
"No, Jack, they're going to kill me."
"And what am I supposed to do? Let that happen?"
"Where's Anna? She can't come here. She needs to stay away!"
"Shh.." I replied, trying to calm her down. "It's okay. Anna isn't coming. Anna is staying at the castle, filling in for you."
She relaxed. "Good."
"Elsa, who are these people?" I asked. "What do they want from you?"
She took a deep breath. "They're greedy. They want power and money. They want to take my kingdom for themselves, and in order for that to happen, they need me and Anna dead."
"Why this kingdom? Who are they?" I asked.
"I don't know why he can't just leave us alone and go find another kingdom to victimize." she said as she looked at the floor, confused.
"He? But there's three of them." I questioned.
"I don't know who the other two are." she answered, "I only know one of them."
"Who is he?"
She took another deep breath. "Hans."
