Hello readers! (If there still are any…) I hope you can forgive me for the extreme long wait. I've developed a lot of writers block and a lot of exam preparation and time has just run out of my hands. I hope this chapter will justify your long waiting though. I will warn you. This is the darkest chapter I have written so far. It includes a rape scene… I might as well say it now. You can skip this scene though, because I marked it in the text.

WARNING: extreme violence and RAPE!

Elsa groaned once her alarm bell awakened her to a new day. Why is it morning already? The pale girl thought as she rose from her mattress. When she reached the door it wouldn't open even how hard she pulled the handle. What? She tried punching and kicking it with all the force she had but she only resulted in gaining sore hands and feet. Derek… She thought in misery as she felt the walls closing in on her. He had locked her inside the awful room, but why? She felt her breathing get shallower as she sat down on her mattress once more. There was no window inside the room so there was no way out.
"DEREK!" she screamed while jumping up again with newfound adrenalin and threw herself at the door. It didn't even creak. She repeated the action several times until all of her body was sore and exhausted. Then she wept not even bothering to move up on her mattress again just sobbing herself to sleep on the cold floor.

Another day in school had passed without Elsa. Ariel tried asking Anna, Kristoff, Hans, Rapunzel and Flynn but no one had seen her. She had even asked all of the teachers but as always they avoided the topic with the argument that she might show up the next day. Ariel was angered by their cowardliness.

This is it! The redhead thought infuriated on her way home. I'm going to kick the mayor's ass! She found the stack of papers she had borrowed from the library, once she got inside of the apartment, and went through them. It was the same stories about people missing mysteriously. One of them were the doctor Kai Andersson who had written Elsa's journal and after him the numbers of missing people seemed to explode. Especially journalists who might have caught up on something seemed to be the victims. Yeah I wonder who is behind all of them… Ariel gritted her teeth.

"Hello!" her sister greeted her happily once she got inside.

"Oh, hey" Ariel murmured. Anna didn't notice Ariel's mood and continued,

"I'm going to the party tonight, do you want to join me?"

"Huh?" Ariel looked up lost in her thoughts. Anna rolled her eyes and tried once more.

"I'm going to the party at the university tonight… are you coming?" The older woman lowered her head,

"No… I don't feel like partying okay? But you just go and have a great time, I have an arrangement anyway." She smiled half heartedly at her baby sister which made the younger girl sigh.

"Ariel we said that we were going to help you set Elsa free, you know…"

"Yeah, I know… But this time it's not her but Esmeralda… I'm going to let her know that we can't see each other anymore… Actually the less people I will have some sort of relationship with in this town is for the better because I don't have a clue if someone is watching us this very minute and trying to make a plan to get rid of us and it scares the hell out of me that they might go after you…"

"Ariel…" Anna said and took her sister's hand. "I'll be fine. I'm more concerned about you, going out there all alone."

"I'll be fine sis," Ariel assured and gave Anna's hand a little squeeze.

"I know you will, you're my big sister" Anna smiled and blinked while said those confident words. Anna's confidence in her made Ariel giggle,

"At least you believe in me…"

Ariel stood outside the dancing studio waiting for Esmeralda to come out. Looking at her watch it said 20:10 and she sighed frustrated,

"Come on Esmeralda, I'm freezing my ass off out here…"

"Sorry I'm late!" A girl said from behind her and the redhead turned around to find the exotic girl, who it felt like she had met several months ago when it had just been a few weeks.

"Hi Esmeralda!" Ariel smiled and accepted the hug the other woman was leaning in for.

"Hi Ariel," She whispered. "I've been thinking a lot about you lately…"

"We need to talk…" Ariel sighed as she pulled out from the embrace to look the girl in the eyes."

"That sounds serious," Esmeralda frowned.

"I can't date you anymore…"

Esmeralda looked a bit hurt, which made Ariel's heart ache. She tried reaching out for the dancer's hand but the woman pulled away clearly not interested in being touched.

"I'm sorry…" Ariel whispered with a pitiful voice. Esmeralda took a deep breath before asking through clenched teeth,

"Why?"

"I can't tell you," the redhead replied with a shaky voice. That made the exotic woman turn around her eyes throwing daggers into Ariel's.

"We kissed! I thought we both had a connection and you won't even explain why you are dumping me in such a rude manner?!"

"Look, Esmeralda, I can't tell you because I'm afraid of pulling more people into this mess I made…"

"What mess? What are you talking about?"

"I'm in love with one of my students, okay?!" Ariel shouted before she was able to stop herself. Esmeralda's eyes widened.

"When did you find out?" the woman spoke, a bit more gently this time much to Ariel's surprise.

"Just yesterday…" Her voice was tiny and silently begging Esmeralda not to tell anyone.

"I forgive you," the black haired surprised the redhead once more. "I can't compete with love… But I can be your friend… Only if you want it of course…"

Ariel looked up into those dark brown sincere eyes and for the first time in a long while she actually felt like she trusted one of Arendal's inhabitants.

"I would love being your friend," the redhead said with a huge smile that made Esmeralda pull her in for a hug once more.

"Okay," she said cheerfully, trying to avoid the previous darker mood. "What's her name?"

The two women enjoyed each other's company while strolling around in the center of town where the street light made Ariel feel a bit more safe than the dark alleyways. Hours had passed before Ariel noticed she didn't recognize the area they had been headed. She stopped, feeling a bit wary since the lights of the streets had been a more rare sight than inside the city.

"Where are we?" She asked the taller woman who also looked puzzled about their whereabouts.

"Uh…" Esmeralda said a bit ashamed. "I think we have been walking in blindness, but it's okay, lets just go back from where we came, I'm sure we'll find track again." Ariel shrugged but just as they were about to turn around they heard a loud scream that made their bones turn into ice.

"What was that?!" Esmeralda whispered horrified. Ariel had a scary feeling that she knew the source of the scream. A new loud shriek followed shortly after the previous and the redhead located where the sounds came from.

"It's over here, come!" Ariel whispered and the other woman followed her to a nearby house with two floors. Ariel glanced through a window to find out what was going on while Esmeralda hid behind a bush.

"We need to call the police!" the other woman hissed.

"I'm afraid they won't help us," the redhead replied still in a whisper. Esmeralda rolled her eyes,

"They never have anyway, estúpido,´." Ariel would have laughed of the spanish girl's fury if it wasn't for the severe situation.

"I think I know one who can help!" the black haired woman finally said which made Ariel's hopes brighten a bit. But then she saw a glimpse of a man with blood on his hands that made her inner guts turn. The Mayor!

"Esmeralda can you find that person and bring him or her here? Meanwhile I'll try going in!"

"What?!" Esmeralda's eyes couldn't grow any wider. "?Estás loca?!"

"I don't think we have that much time, and the neighbors aren't any help at all," Ariel explained, glaring around on the other houses. "I'll call for backup! Please just go now!" Esmeralda looked bewildered but nodded and ran off. Then the redhead picked up her phone and called Anna.

At the party Anna was dancing with Kristoff while looking at another dancing couple in the middle of the floor. She smirked as she watched how Hans tried his best to charm the fiery redhead, who had finally accepted a dance after hours of pleading from the guy. Merida seem too impressed by his charm though.

"Oh he's never gonna stop hearing for this," Anna whispered to the blonde guy. Kristoff only chuckled off the redhead's teasing behavior.

"Let him have this night in peace though, my love," he said lovingly which made the girl blush and her heart warm.

They danced a while before both of them got tired and decided to take a break. They sat down a place less filled with people.

"You want another drink?" Kristoff offered. He watched his girlfriend's eyes darken.

"I'd rather taste something else," she whispered mischievously. The blonde guy blushed once more and leaned in to seal his lips with Anna's. The redhead immediately opened her mouth to let him into her mouth. Their tongues danced a careful and soft dance that grew more and more fiery. The heated make out session was interrupted by Anna's phone buzzing. Breathless the girl pulled out her iPhone and accepted the call once she discovered who it was.

"Hi sis, having fun with Esmeralda?" she greeted the older woman. But she soon sensed that something was utterly wrong hearing Ariel's breath hitching and her voice breaking.

"Anna, I found where he lives, can you come? I think he's killing her!" Anna felt her guts turn cold.

"We're on our way! Where are you!?"

"Ice cutter street 13!"

"Don't go in there until we arrive and stay hidden!"

"Anna, we need to leave this town if we succeed in saving her. And for the greater good, avoid the police by all means!" Then she hung up and Anna went to Kristoff, panicking.

"Can you drive?!" Kristoff, who had heard the conversation was already standing up.

"Of course I can, I haven't drunk anything, now come on we've got to bring Hans too!"

Extreme tough and dark scene below...

Elsa woke up with a start when she heard a door slam shut. She knew that her stepfather had returned home but she didn't even have the strength to feel afraid. It was all hopeless anyway. Her head ached due to sleeping on the rough stone floor and due to the dehydration, which also made her mouth all dry. She had lost all track of time and the windowless room was no help in that direction either. She might as well give up, death seemed like a blessing compared to her hell of a life. Then she thought of her teacher. The redhead. Ariel. Her smile. Her ocean blue eyes. Her passion for architecture and especially old buildings. Her laughter and her way of brighten up every single lesson. Elsa imagined living in Oslo together with the redhead, her redhead. She imagined inviting Anna and Kristoff over for dinner and spending countless evenings talking about normal stuff without being afraid. Right then and there she knew she couldn't give up without a last fight even though the situation was hopeless. In the same moment she heard Derek unlock her door to open it and step inside. She kept lying still not moving a single muscle on the cold floor. She saw the man kneel down to look her in the eyes.

"Look at what we have here," he said in a horrifying calm tone. "Can't even stand up to greet your stepfather… I'm so disappointed in you." Elsa then tried to rise but she was shoved down again immediately.

"Please, Derek…" she breathed in a ragged voice. It earned her a slap across her cheek. She groaned of feeling the slight pain. "W-water, p-please…"

"If you want that so badly, why aren't you going to get it yourself?!" He smiled at her weakness as she once again tried to stand up. She had just come up on her feet when he shoved her to the floor once again. Her reaction time had decreased so she didn't manage to protect her head in the fall which made it hit the stone floor hard. She whimpered in agony as her hands and arms instinctively covered her torturing head while she fought away the tears.

"Why are you doing this?" she whispered through clenched teeth.

"Because you're nothing but a little slut," he replied.

"What?"

"Did you really think that I wouldn't find out?" He picked something up from the pocket of his jacket and shoved it into the blonde's face. Elsa had to blink a few times to make out the object and found to her grave horror that it was a picture of her and Ariel kissing from the night before. Dread formed in her eyes as she tried instinctively to back away from the violent man, who to her greater terror remained calm and stoic in his expression. He stood up and looked down on the petrified girl.

"So you are filthy little lesbian, huh?" Elsa flinched at the words. "Do you really think that she feels the same way for you? That she hasn't been faking it the whole time because your pathetic life made her take pity in you? I expect that you have spilled everything about your miserable life. Don't worry, I'll take care of your precious teacher, but first I have the intention to spend a while with you. You have always been useless for me anyway, I might as well just get rid of you, but then again I like taking things slow."

"P-please stay away from her! I have never told her anything!" Elsa, who had regained her voice, begged in horror. "I would never do anything to put her an that position, she knows nothing! I love her…" The tears streamed down her cheeks and turned her face into a river. She sobbed loudly.

Rape scene below…

Derek sighed.

"There's clearly something mentally wrong with you… You are supposed to like dick, and not pussy… You know what… I'll show you exactly what you need now." He stepped closer while Elsa felt herself back into a corner. Her breathing had turned shallow and she felt herself beginning to hyperventilate. He pulled her out of the corner and laid on top of her. She was too weak to push him away.

"Get off of me!" she screamed crying, kicking and hitting him. With ease he pulled off her long sleeved T-shirt, exposing her breasts, and used it to tie her arms behind her back. Her weak body screamed in agony. He ignored her weeping and pleading as always and proceeded his assault with a crazy look in his eyes. Derek pulled off her her pants and underwear but this time was different. He wasn't rough and tearing it off of her like he used to whenever he stripped her. This time he was soft and gentle. But that also made it all the more terrifying.

"You should know how much it haunts me that your body looks so much like your mother's," He said while he started caressing up and down Elsa's sides. His hands felt dry and rough against her smooth scar filled skin. She felt how his touch left her body trembling in utter fright but with her hands tied behind her back she could do nothing but letting him assault her. Then his palms found her breasts and started palming them ever so softly.

"No!" the blonde wept. She already knew where this would lead because he had never been this gentle with his touches.

"I think that it's about time my suffocating is put to an end now… my sweet, sweet Idun…" Then he started kissing the girl who was growing more and more terror stricken as the seconds went by.

"Please don't do this," Elsa wept when his kisses were settled from her lips to her neck. She fought desperately to get out of the situation but she was just too weak. She heard him take off his pants and her hyperventilating turned more shallow and rapid.

"My darling Idun," he whispered in her ear as she felt him pushing inside of her. She let out a scream of pain and pure horror.

Rape scene over...

Elsa was left on the floor trembling fiercely. She couldn't stop the stream of tears on her face. She felt so broken that she wasn't sure that she could ever be fixed. He had taken something from her that she would never be able to get back. It was like all light in her world had been switched off and the only thing remained was this pointless pitch-black darkness.

"So, my little slut…" he said while pulling something out of his pocket. It was a long bladed knife that looked like one you would bring for hunting. "Let's just have a look on your scars shall we?" Elsa shook her head in fear but she knew it was for no use. He came closer once again and that was trigger enough for Elsa to let out one terrifying long scream.

"There is no one to save you, you might as well accept your fate," he smirked as he bended over her once more.

"NO, NO!" she whimpered through her sobs but still she felt the blade against her skin, which made her let out another loud shriek. A scar on her left shoulder was sliced open agonizingly slowly. Then she was turned around so her backside was exposed. One scream was followed by the other rapidly. Soon she started calling her mother, which was a sign that she was going to faint.

"Momma!" Elsa screamed. She saw her mother kneel in front of her and cup her face gently while caressing her daughter's cheeks with her thumbs. "Momma please help, make it stop, make it AAAAARGHHH!"

"Your mother is not here you stupid cow, she's dead!" Derek shouted and continued his torture on his step daughter. Once he couldn't find anymore scars he went to the kitchen and washed the blood off his knife. When he returned Elsa had lost a lot of blood. It made her so weak that she didn't even have the strength to whimper or cry in her severe agony. Derek lit a cigarette and began smoking while staring like he was admiring his own work of art.

"There is still spots on your body where I can add color," he said to the almost unconscious girl. Then he sat down beside her and found the places on her skin which he had left untouched. When Elsa felt the burning end of his cigarette make contact with her too pained body she suddenly had the strength to scream again. He repeated this form of torture in ten minutes before he suddenly heard the doorbell ring. Derek stood up puzzled about who it might be. He locked the door to Elsa's chamber of horror and washed the blood off his hands before opening the door. The last thing he saw before blacking out was a baseball bat flying in his way.

Three figures with black masks covering their faces ran into the house. They heard the sound of someone crying and immediately found the door to the room locked. The slimmest figure of the three ran back to the unconscious Derek to search his pockets and found a key which they tried on the lock and it worked. They opened the door and found bleeding soul inside the room. They weren't even surprised to see the poor girl completely naked. Before she could react on the strange intruders the lack of oxygen and blood made the poor soul black out. They picked her up and brought her with them out of the house and into a van hidden in the dark a few houses away.

Once getting there the slimmest of the figures pulled off it's mask and revealed long beautiful red hair and a beautiful face with ocean blue eyes.

"We need to get her to the hospital now!" Ariel hissed once all of them sat in the vehicle. She covered the blonde in several carpets and held on to her gently but firmly so she wouldn't get hurt during the ride.

"I know Ariel but first we need to get out of here!" Kristoff, who was driving hissed back. The redhead clutched Elsa closer to make sure she was still breathing. Anna, who had been waiting in the van was seated beside her sister and helped keeping Elsa safe and sound.

"She will be all right, I know it," she tried comforting Ariel. The older woman kept her eyes on the unconscious girl in her embrace and a tear fell from her eyes.

"You weren't there to hear her screaming," she whispered with a cracking voice. She stroke away some stray hair from the pale girl's face. "Why wasn't I brave enough to stop his torture on her earlier?"

"This was our only chance," Hans said. He had been the one who'd knocked out the Mayor because Kristoff didn't have the guts to do it and Ariel wasn't strong enough to make him go unconscious. "Look, we know what he have been capable of doing to all those people who have disappeared. He is an earlier agent for christ sake! We needed the element of surprise to have any chance of defeating him. If you had gone inside on your own, he would probably have killed you and have a suspicion that we were on our way and then I don't think it would have turned out this well… He would probably have killed us all."

Hans' words gave Ariel something to think about. He was right. She hadn't been able to save Elsa by herself anyway so they had picked the best solution. Then suddenly something struck her.

"What about Rapunzel and Eugene?" She asked concerned.

"They were actually going to visit Rapunzel's parents this weekend so they are safe and we have contacted them and explained why they couldn't go back," Anna explained. Elsa suddenly whimpered in her unconscious state. That made the redhead pull her close and whisper soothingly in her ear,

"Shh… You're allright sweetie, I've got you… I won't let anyone hurt you ever again."

Please, please don't hate me for the rape scene… I know it's too much but it just fitted in to my story… But now things starts to brighten up! As for Esmeralda, we hear about her in next chapter, and until then stay amazing, cause if you could endure this chapter, you certainly are!

Hug!
