Ch 18

Elsa

After Anna left the voice in my head kept talking, I tried to tune it out but I couldn't.

E:"Conceal don't feel, don't feel…"

I kept pacing back and forth, not knowing what to do or say. I was in my room when I heard some horse neigh. Now what? I stepped out on the balcony and saw the royal guards. What were they doing here? Maybe Anna sent them as a last effort to make me go back. They're here to take you prisoner… Show them what you're made of Ice Queen…

I quickly ran downstairs ready to fight, I heard Marshmallow outside and realized he probably had the whole thing covered. Suddenly I saw two guards bust in through the door. I freaked out when I saw they had weapons. I wasn't really expecting that but lately I wasn't sure what to expect in general. I stayed hidden at the top of the stairs and they looked around.

G1:"Look up there!" one guard shouted and they started running towards me, I ran up the stairs to my room hoping I'd be able to somehow get away. I finally reached my room and they were right behind me.

G2:"We've got her…"they pointed their crossbows at me, they were trying to kill me…Not if you kill them first…

E:"No please…" I put my hands up in defeat I didn't want to hurt anyone but the voice said I needed to, I had to kill them and only then would I be free…One of the guards shot and I put hands up defensively. I felt no impact and I saw a wall of ice had formed, keeping the arrow from hitting me. I was in shock.

E:"Stay away!" I shouted while releasing ice onto the floor

G1:"Look out!" one shouted but I started making spiky ice walls all around them. I needed to corner them in order to get rid of them. I shot faster but then they surrounded me. I had one on each side and I was at a loss for what to do. SHOOT THEM BOTH! Make them pay for all they've done!

I shot one first, he didn't even see it coming. I had him pinned against a wall while another wall of ice in front of him grew a sharp spike aiming for his throat. The other guard was ready to shoot so I blasted him as well, knocking the bow away. He tried to run but I blocked his exits, I made a wall that pushed him towards the balcony. I kept pushing and he was outside about to fall to his death.

That's it! Just a little more… Kill them!

H:"Quee Elsa!" I snapped out of my trance, it was Prince Hans. "Don't be the monster they fear you are…" I realized this was all wrong…I was gasping for air, and I had stopped attacking the two guards. What was wrong with me? I'd almost killed two innocent men…I looked to Prince Hans but he looked at one of the guards and he ran towards the guard. I heard something snap and I looked up with a gasp escaping my lips. I ran so I could avoid getting hit with the falling chandelier but I tripped and hit my head on the floor and I blacked out.

Jack

I woke up surprised to see that the sun was beginning to set, I rubbed the side of my head and felt something wet on it. I felt it and it was blood, I don't know what I'd hit my head on but it had been hard. My head was beginning to throb. I was lucky to be immortal because it would heal quicker, it still hurt pretty badly. I touched it again and winced a little. Wait a minute I was supposed to go somewhere…I needed to… find… a girl…

Elsa…

Elsa…ELSA! I needed to talk to her… I needed to fix things between us. I got up and I was a little dizzy, probably from the hit I'd gotten but I needed to get to her as fast as possible. I called the winds to lift me, I began to fly just not as fast. I was still a little lightheaded, but after a few minutes it seemed to pass. I began to fly faster and faster, by the time I got to her castle it was completely dark, no moon in view. She was probably asleep, but I'd wake her up. I'd lay by her on the bed and kiss her neck, her lips and run my hands all over her soft skin… However when I reached the castle I saw the balcony on her room was destroyed, the stairs that led to it were as well. What the hell was going on…? I flew into her room and saw the chandelier was on the floor shattered completely.

J:"Oh no…" tears started forming in my eyes, threatening to spill. "Elsa!" I flew all over the castle but there was no sign of her. Had pitch gotten to her? I went out towards the front of the door and saw there was footprints on the snow. Someone had come for her, but it was more than one person. Maybe it was Anna but if she left alone then it couldn't have been her. I looked around the castle one more time and then I decided to go back Arendelle. If someone came to take her away that's where they would most likely take her to. I flew back towards the town as fast as the winds could carry me, and I felt as if they weren't fast enough. In a matter of hours I saw the castle in the distance and it was a lot colder than the last time I'd been there. Snow was beginning to fall once again and the wind was starting to pick up a little bit. I was close to the castle when I saw a blond guy riding a reindeer holding a girl in his arms, they were probably trying to get out of the cold too. I kept flying and I finally reached the castle. I looked through the windows and saw Prince Hans sitting in the dining hall with the other dukes and dignitaries, I couldn't hear them so I blew a little gust of wind and it opened up the window slightly.

H:"Everyone please!" He motioned for them to sit and they did, but they still argued. Some about what to do with the Queen. Other's on how they could get her to stop this winter. Most of them wanted to execute her thinking it would end it all. Hans was one of them

H:"Look first I'll go to the dungeon and talk to her maybe she'll see reason and help us stop this mess. After that she's the kingdoms responsibility. We also need to find Princess Anna, I sent out some scouts to look for her. I'll have the guards inform me when the Queen awakes and I'll see her once she does."

I couldn't let them hurt Elsa, I needed to find her before they talked to her. Maybe there was still a way to fix this. I flew into the castle and down to the dungeon. Her cell was easy to find since there was 2 guards standing in front of it. The issue was how was I going to get inside? Luckily Prince Hans was right behind me and called them both. They were his own personal guards so they couldn't see me and they didn't notice me taking their keys to the cell. Ha I'm so slick…

Elsa

When I woke up it was dark, except for a small amount of light coming from a thin window on the wall it was damp and cold, and the bed was really uncomfortable. I saw I was covered with a blanket, but where was I? I looked around and noticed I was in a dungeon. I was in Arendelle. You need to leave… You'll only hurt people more, you'll kill everyone… Ugh that stupid voice! I couldn't get rid of it but it was right…I needed to leave. I ran towards the window but nearly tripped over my own hands, they were chained. They were completely covered and the more I pulled I could feel something sharp inside poking my skin. I was pretty sure I was bleeding. I looked in despair and looked out the window. All I saw was the fjord was completely frozen, the ships sitting on the ice and it was snowing.

E:"What have I done…?" Suddenly, I heard the door open and gasped at the sight before was anything short of a surprise. It was Jack. In living flesh and blood.

J:"Elsa!" We ran to each other and he held me in his arms, how I wished I could run my hands through his soft hair and along his body. He took my face in his hands and kissed me, it was a small kiss as if we were both not sure we were dreaming. But we soon realized it was real and our kiss got harsh and greedy. I wrapped my arms around him and he pulled me so close I could feel him even through our clothes. His lips moved to my neck and I was gasping for air. Suddenly he stopped and looked into my eyes. He was crying… my heart shattered and I realized Jack loved me more than anything and I loved him…

E:"Jack don't cry… darling it'll be okay…" I wrapped my arms around him and we sat on the floor crying in our embrace.

J:"I'm sorry I should be the one comforting you…Princess I'm sorry for what I said the other night I… I shouldn't hav-"

E:"Jack its ok I'm sorry I started the whole thing. I don't know what came over me… I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me… I love you Jack more th… ah!" I felt something stab my heart, something cold and dark. Then it burned intensely.

J:"Elsa? Elsa! Are you alright? What's happening?!" and then the pain was gone, just like that. As if nothing had ever happened.

E:"What? I… What happened? Jack?"

J:"I don't know you just screamed in pain and hugged your chest, Elsa did any more of that sand come near you when I was away?"

E:"Jack I-"but I wasn't able to finish. Someone else was opening the door, it was Hans. He had a small lanterns and he set it down on one of the benches. Seeing him stirred anger in me, it was his fault I was back here, couldn't he see I was endangering everyone?

E:"Why did you bring me here?" I demanded, taking a few steps closer to him.

H:"I couldn't just let them kill you…" He was obviously cold, I could see his breath as he spoke and he wrapped his arms around his shivering body.

E:"But I'm a danger to Arendelle…Get Anna!"

H:"Anna has not returned…"

I looked back towards the window. She was out there somewhere, she had no idea about how to survive during the harsh winters, what if she was lost? What if she was dead…?

H:"If you would just stop this winter. Bring back summer…Please!" He begged…

J:"Elsa you can do it. I know you can…"

I had forgotten Jack was there and how Hans couldn't see him. I looked back to Hans. The walls inside of me breaking down once more.

E:"Don't you see I can't…?" I didn't know who I was answering, probably both of them. Couldn't they see how much I hated having this power? I was having a conflict within myself. One part believing I could and the other one tearing me down. Hans sighed realizing there was no hope… "You have to tell them to let me go!"

H:"I'll do what I can" and that was all it took. This was it. I was going to be executed. Nothing could change their minds, I was a monster in everyone's eyes. I felt my shackled begin to freeze but it wasn't me, it was Jack. He was trying to freeze them until they broke.

J:"No you are not giving up, I know you can do this Elsa. We need to get you out first come on help me." We both us=combined our powers to freeze the shackles but it was a lot harder than we thought. The room started freezing around us too, there were icicles forming on the ceiling.

J:"Here just start pulling!"

Again we both pulled and froze the shackles, but then we heard the guards outside and they saw me trying to break out. They were pounding on the door, trying to bust in but it was frozen now too. We pulled harder and then we saw the room start to shake.

G1:"It won't open!" one of them shouted. The support on the ceiling gave way and fell as they ran in. At the same time I felt the shackles break and Jack was flying me out of the room and as far away as he could go.
