Frozen Heart Part 7

Chapter 61: Anna: Rain And Pain

She was wet.

It was not because of her desire for Nell, but because the rain was pouring down on them, as if it was trying to wash the sins of them both away, and those there were about to begin.

Anna and Nell had ridden beside each other most of the way towards their ultimate destination The Kingdom of Corona, and they had taken care of each other every day.

They never wanted to be alone again.

When they had set up camp for the night, Nell liked to rest up at her side, resting her head against Anna's shoulder, and it was that feeling of being with someone, who trusted you more then you did yourself that had made Anna fall for her.

Having seen her sister turn cruel, and herself become cruel because of that, Anna was glad to have Nell beside her, and she hoped that Nell felt the same way.

Anna had come to love her as a sister, but during the ongoing trip, her feelings had changed.

She did not want to be alone, and the shock of seeing Kristoff die, had an effect on her. With all the things that had happened, and still being able to wake up beside Nell every morning, was like a blessing from the Gods themselves, and Anna was thankful.

It had started out innocently enough.

Nell had been about to fall asleep next to the bonfire, but Anna had chosen to lay down beside her, to make sure that Nell did not feel alone. As she had laid down beside Nell, Nell had turned around on her side so she was face to face with Anna, and without saying a word, Anna had taken Nell's hand in hers, their fingers entwined, and had fallen asleep next to each other.

The night after that it was the same again, but this time, Anna had put her hand on Nell's growing belly, and had looked into her green eyes and pulled Nell closer to her own body, and there they lay against each other. Nell had made the move that took it one-step further as she had kissed Anna on her lips.

Maybe it was the desperation to feel loved and to feel as one with someone, considering all that had happened, that made Anna think, that if Nell were taken away from her, she would stop at nothing to find her again. If Nell died, Anna would die shortly after and she knew that herself. There was no question about that as she kissed Nell again and they fell asleep next to each other.

As the journey progressed, they became closer; always being side by side, and then it happened that they had gone looking for firewood, that they took it one-step further.

Anna stopped Nell in her tracks, by laying a hand on Nell's shoulder and slowly pushed her backwards, so Nell had her back pressed up against a large rock, and then she kissed her. A kiss that was returned not with eagerness, but with a slow heated passion.

Anna said, "I want to see your eyes; I want to feel all of you, if you want to."

Nell led Anna´s hand down her pants, and Anna felt the opening between Nell´s legs, and was reminded of all the abuse Nell had taken. Anna did not want to cause her pain or fear, but slowly started rubbing Nell´s holiest place, while kissing her feverishly, hearing the moans leaving Nell, as she wanted for her to be feeling safe and sure, that this was alright.

Anna felt a surge off triumph as this happened, and said, "Nell, you are mine, and no one are to keep you away from me, nobody is going to hurt you, I will not allow it."

Nell revealed her breasts and Anna kissed them, sucked on both her tits, and kissed Nell on her mouth again, and Nell said, "You are mine and I am yours."

Nell indicated that she wanted Anna to lay down on the green swaying grass, and then she got on top of her, their faces almost touching each other, as she kissed Anna with such a passion, and eager, that Anna felt that everything around her disappeared, like she was laying down upon a white soft cloud in the sky.

Anna touched Nell up and down her body, wanted to know every single inch of her. Wanted to know every single shape of her and Anna opened her jacket wanting Nell to see her breast, to touch and feel them, let her know that for all what she was, she was all Nell´s and nobody else´s.

Nell stopped kissing her and said, "I want you and I want you now, but we have been gone for some time, I think we must return to the campsite."

Anna knew that Nell was right about that, but hugged her and held her close to her body, looking into her green eyes and said, "Nothing is going to come between us."

Nell held Anna´s hand in hers and confirmed, "Nothing."

They found Kevin and Isa resting at the bonfire, but upon closer look, they both gasped in shock and horror, with their eyes wide open and hands upon their mouths.

The blood poured from Kevin's throat down Isa´s hair, coloring her hair red and against the fire, made her hair seem like it glimmered red like the fire itself, and they saw that all life had left them both.

Nell turned around and regurgitated on the ground as Anna held her close as wanting to make sure that Nell did not trip.

When Nell was done, Anna went over to the death bodies of Kevin and Isa and Nell saw the prepared meat beside them, and the vomit, that seemed to be leaking out of Isa´s mouth in one thin line.

"Why?" she asked herself. "Just why has this happened?"

She knew almost instantly and also based upon the bloody knife and the vomit, that Kevin had killed his wife, and killed himself in return.

Anna heard Nell whisper, "Anna, what are we going to do now?"

Anna knew that they should bury them, but without a shovel and with the ground being hard, it was impossible to bury them at this location.

Anna thought for a moment and then checked Kevin and Isa´s pockets and found some money and some jewelry.

"Are you really looting the dead?" Nell asked as if she could not believe what she was seeing.

"They will not need it anymore Nell. They are dead, and if we come upon a tavern, we can use it. As for the bodies, I am afraid we have to leave them behind."

Anna went over to Nell and held her close and kissed her upon her cheek, and then slowly led Nell over to the bonfire, where the food was prepared. Putting a stick through the meat, they sat down and led the meat sizzle in the flames, as fat dripped from the meat, down into the fire.

"Well, well what do we have here?" a voice said, and Anna was immediately standing up, and saw the man and woman approach.

"Who are you, identify yourself now!" Anna called out only to be answered with laughter.

The man spoke, "I see two young women, who have brutally murdered two other people, and now you are to shut up and hand over the valuables, that you took from the dead."

Anna saw the man and woman get their knives out of their pockets, and she realized that she and Nell were in danger. She knew that the approaching man and woman were not kidding around, and if they did not due as they were told, chances were that they would die.

Anna saw Kevin´s sword placed up against the rock close to the fireplace, and immediately, she took it up and ran over to Nell, standing with her back towards Nell, shielding Nell from the gaze the man and woman sent towards her.

"Ah your friend is pregnant," the woman said with an almost childlike voice, and laughed aloud. "Go ahead and try to swing the sword but it will not do you any good. You might swing it towards one of us, but the other one will get either to you or to your friend."

"Why are you doing this to us?" it came from Nell.

She was afraid; Anna knew that very well, because she was too.

They were to close now.

"Look at those horses my dear," the woman said to the man. "We are going to take them as well."

"We are going to take everything from them, even their clothes!" said the man.

"All of your clothes belongs to us," she continued.

"Unless you want to die you will take it all off now!" the man yelled.

Anna thought that they were just thieves, but as she looked upon their faces, she gasped.

It was in their eyes. A psychotic look on their face, and in her mind Anna suddenly knew, that as soon she and Nell took their clothes off, they would be raped and cut open.

Something told her that this man and woman had done it before.

"In fact, when you go to Hell, tell the devil that Lucy and Wilhelm sent you to him!"

It happened so fast.

The horses was spooked, and as Wilhelm and Lucy passed them by, the horse kicked Wilhelm in the face with its strong legs, and he fell to the ground, and Anna charged them both, and as soon as she was at Wilhelm she put the sword trough him, killing him instantly, then her gaze fell upon Lucy.

She saw Lucy´s eyes seeking Nell and as Anna went towards Lucy, who was now afraid, she saw Lucy run towards Nell with lightning speed, and before Anna could do anything, she saw Lucy punch Nell in the stomach very hard, and Nell fell to the ground on her stomach first.

Anna was over Lucy in an instant, as she had been running as fast as she could after Lucy and before Lucy knew it, she was on the ground and Anna had her knife in her hand.

As if in a dream Anna cut open Lucy´s legs, so she could not run, and Lucy screamed, but Anna did not hear it or sense it.

She ran to Nell as fast as possible and went down on her knees moving Nell so her head, rested on Anna´s lap.

"Nell, Nell, my dear Nell, talk to me please!" She begged as tears filled her eyes, and ran down her cheeks.

Nell opened her eyes, and she said, "There is something wrong with the baby!"

Nell started screaming, as her body started to understand the fact that her child was dead, and she had to get the baby out of the body.

Anna held on to Nell´s hand constantly looking at her and the screaming Lucy, she could not think only observe, that was how it felt like.

The baby came out of Nell. It was dead and not fully developed yet and it was stone cold dead.

Nell was not bleeding a lot from her holiest place, but she looked up on Anna and passed out.

Some place, deep within the darkest corners of Anna´s mind, a voice said, "She is passed out, that is good, she will not hear the screams of Lucy, when I cut her open."

Lucy was still screaming and now she was yelling, "Ah god I am bleeding. I am bleeding to death. You whore I will kill you for this."

Anna went over to the bonfire with Nell, whom she had picked up in her arms, lowered her down on the ground, and took the knife and lowered it into the fire. When the blade was so hot, that it had become red, she walked towards Lucy with small steps.

She was not even in a hurry.

Standing over Lucy she stomped her foot as hard down as she could upon both of Lucy´s knee caps, and Lucy screamed, but Anna was deaf for it.

Then she did it with Lucy´s shoulder, and sickening cracks was heard and Lucy passed out.

Anna got Lucy´s pants off and saw her vagina, with a big hairy bush surrounding it, and then she took the hot knife in her hand and led it down towards Lucy´s opening.

Anna thought to herself, "When she wakes up I am going to stick this hot knife into her, and I will make her feel true pain."

Lucy woke up as the rain poured down upon them both and Anna was wet again as if the rain was trying to wash all the sins, that was about to start, away before they even began and then Lucy began to wake up and then the screams started.

Chapter 62: Elsa: The Proposal

She came to herself in a room, very different from the one she had entered before.

Zanna was nowhere to be seen and Elsa noticed that she was laying on top of a bed, with a soft blanket over her.

It was dark.

It was always dark in the box, but the eyes became better at seeing in the dark. The memories came flooding over her mind as a tidal wave, and she remembered that she had been laying down on a mattress, without having had any chance to defend herself against the man, who had been paying Zanna, to do whatever he wanted to do with her.

She looked around in the room she was in, but there was nothing but the bed and a desk. There was no windows, only dark walls, and a door, that Elsa knew she had to get through, if it was unlocked that is.

As the blanket fell off her, she noticed that she was naked, and Elsa panicked.

"God, I have been raped!" she thought to herself with panic written in her eyes.

Looking at the food at the side of the bed, there was a plate of what looked like very dry bread. Resisting the urge to devour the bread in three big bites, Elsa ate the bread, for she knew not, when she would eat again. That dry bread could be her last meal.

She knew she deserved it, after all the chaos and death she had wrought upon the innocent and her thoughts fell upon Anna. Even if she had resumed the hunt for her sister back in Arendelle, her sister was already far out of her sight and Elsa had known back then that she would never have caught up with her sister again.

She knew beyond any doubt, with a certainty she could not explain, that she would probably never see her sister again. If she did, she had no idea how to react to her if that was the case.

Elsa got up from the bed and saw her dress laying neatly folded together on top of the desk. Putting it on, she went over to the door and looked through the keyhole. She could hear someone puzzling around on the other side of the door, and Elsa knew that she would have to use her powers against that person to get out of these rooms alive.

Elsa took a deep breath, opened the door, and stepped into another room, which looked like the room she had just come from and a man stood before her. Elsa tried to make out the details on his face and recognized it as the man who had been bending down beside her as she had passed out.

"Was he a rapist?" she asked herself. "Because if he is, why was I on a soft bed, with food standing beside it. Does he intent to keep me alive for a while longer?"

"I see you are awake," he said with no warm to be found in his voice.

"Who are you, what have you done to me!" Elsa asked with a voice that hinted of fear.

"Calm yourself woman, it is I who ask the questions not you, what in the world made you go with Zanna?"

"She wanted to help me."

"Help you? That is rich because Zanna is only looking out for Zanna."

"What do you mean?"

"Is it not obvious? You were a woman out on her limp. You are probably new here, and thought you could trust any old woman that came and said to you that they wanted to help you. Let me remind you, that you are in "The Black Box." A few people take care of one another in this place.

"So she was planning to get me drunk and drugged?"

"Yes, that was what she was planning. In fact, let me tell you what Zanna usually do with women and girls like you. First, she finds out if you are new here in the box or not. Then she tries to find out if she can use you or not. She then lures her pray back to her web of a whorehouse, that should be called a slaughterhouse really, and then she drugs them. Zanna learned a long time ago, that people have different taste, when it comes to sex and what they like. Some men wants a blowjob, some is turned on by a foot job, and some is turned on by pain. Zanna understood that there were those, who also liked to kill, and Zanna started leaving young defenseless people drugged, so the predators that likes to kill people doing sex, or have sex with their corpses, could pay her a fortune for the pleasure of doing just that."

Elsa was speechless, as the news hit her of just how much danger she had been in.

"You were bent over me."

"Yes, I was. I was angry with Zanna for luring yet another innocent victim into her web of deceit, lies and murder, and I realized that with you being drugged and all, it was not long before someone was going to pay Zanna for the opportunity to have their way with you. You would have been raped and it was possible you would be murdered as well. I did pay Zanna a nice sum of money to do whatever I wanted to do with you. I picked you up and carried you up to the tenth floor, were I work and live, and then I placed you down on my bed, and then I let you sleep to the drug was out of your system."

Elsa was in shock. A stranger, who had spent his own money on her, had rescued her but how was she ever going to pay him back.

"I thank you first and foremost, but I have no way of possible pay you back, for all what you have done for me."

"I know you are new after all. That reminds me that Zanna told me your name was Sophie is that true?"

"Yes, but I…"

"Do not lie to me, I know when you lie. I can hear it on your voice and the uncertainty of your own answer and lie."

Elsa knew that she would not be able to use the name Sophie, but she was afraid to use her real name. Did she not owe him the truth, now when he had rescued her, did she not owe her life and her soul to the man who had used his own money to help a stupid woman like herself? Did she not owe him all that?

"My name is Elsa."

"Elsa. What a nice name you have. My name is Tom. Elsa, did you eat the bread I gave you?"

"Yes, you have already done so much for me Tom, that I do not know how to possible repay you for all that."

"Well, I am sure I can think of something, but for now I want you to follow me."

"Where are we going?"

"To my workplace."

Obedient, Elsa followed Tom out of the apartment and on to the busy street. Even though it was just another floor in the box the floors were filled with people and work, to the point where people referred to the floors themselves as "Streets," so if a person said to another, go get me something from "Tenth Street," it really meant, get me something from the tenth floor.

They were standing on Tenth Street where the smells of warm food hit Elsa´s nose, and she felt sick to the stomach. She was still very hungry.

Tom must have read her thoughts, for he went to a merchant selling fresh bread, bought a loaf and brought it back to Elsa and gave her a piece of it.

Elsa was more thankful then she could possibly even say in this life, and she ate it, felt her heart becoming contend and her stomach being fine again, and said, "Thank you Tom."

As she looked up on Tom and studied his face, she could barely make out the details of his face and details of his eyes, and he said, "Are you trying to get a good look on my face?"

"Yes."

"Your eyes are not that good yet in the dark. I can see every detail of your face but you cannot see mine yet. Come this way."

Elsa followed him throughout the busy street, were merchants called out to possible customers, and saw people making nets to be sold outside the building, and it did not take long before they both arrived at Tom's workplace.

Opening the locked door with a key, Tom opened the door that revealed a forge, and all other usual tools for smiting work.

"So, you are a blacksmith."

"Yes Elsa. I have been that most of my life."

Getting a fire started in the forge, Tom took a sword he had been working on, and immediately resumed his work, hammering down on the burning hot red metal, making it longer and sharper. He looked down and was about to cool the sword in a huge container filled with water, when Elsa grabbed hold on his arm and he looked at her.

Elsa did not know where she had her newfound courage from, but she knew that she could trust Tom, and she said, "Show me the sword."

Tom complied with that and held it in front of her, and Elsa knew that what she had in mind now was going to work, but would Tom freak out if she did it, were there other people watching?

Elsa gathered her courage and she blew ice-cold air from her mouth, which hit the sword, cooling down the metal, allowing Tom to continue to work on it.

By the look on Toms face Elsa knew she had made a terrible choice.

Tom was about to freak out.

"Please do not freak out!" Elsa said with her eyes wide open.

"I am not freaking out. Are you freaking out? No, I am just very interested in the magical qualities that you seem to possess. How long have you been doing that, exactly?"

"I was born with that gift, at some point all that water in that bucket has to be changed, as it will stink too much, but at that point I can just cool down your sword, and you do not have to waste time filling the bucket with water, it will make your job easier. I will work for you until I have payed of my debt to you."

In her mind, Elsa was thinking, "Stupid me, what if he reveal what I can do to the Syndicate?"

Tom took the word, "I was actually thinking about something different, you can do."

"What is that?"

"You can marry me."

Elsa could hardly believe her ears, "Excuse me?"

"You heard me correctly Elsa I want you to marry me."

"Why?"

"Why? Let me ask you this; are you on the life list the syndicate" has made?"

"No, but…"

"So, you are not. Elsa I can see it in your face and on your hands, your hands are soft, they have never truly worked before. You must have been born into wealth, or been a noble born one, and I bet you are here because of that strange ability of yours right?"

He was right, but she did not say anything. In her mind, she was prepared to kill him, to make sure that her secret stayed safe.

Tom continued: "So I think that the wisest course of action would be for you to marry me. If you do, your name will be written on the list, and with your powers, you can save me a lot of time and will make my job easier, which leads to us making more money. Your debt will be cancelled, as we are husband and wife. If we become husband and wife, we would have a greater chance to survive in the black box. Well, you will have a greater chance at least, and at least, we will not be alone."

"I am not sure that I want to. What would it even mean if I married you, what can I expect from you?"

"I could ask you the same thing Elsa, we would be married and I expect that if we get married, we do all those things that married couples usually do. Like loving each other and be there for each other."

"Having sex with each other?" Elsa asked.

"That as well, so what will your answer be Elsa?"

Chapter 63: Zerah: The Forgotten Palace

The female servant was just a servant. No more and no less. Zerah did only bother learning her name, because she was carrying a key to the palace´s treasure vault that Zerah wanted to get into.

She remained as calm as she could be as the guards had gone into a panic after finding Sultan Ali and Scheherazade dead in their private quarters. She had sent Kasim flying through the air, she saw him disappear outside an open window, and he had plunged to his death like his little brother before him.

The royal family of Tehomia and been eliminated, and it had not taken long for people to fully understand that they were now without a leader and even though people could have sworn they had seen a person plunging to their death, the body of Kasim had not been recovered. With no leader to inherit the throne, it now stood empty as no one claimed it for himself.

When the news came out that the royal family had been killed and Kasim was killed the same way Razul had died, the rumors of dark magic again took hold in the populace. No one wanted to go near the cursed palace, except the guards and the servants that were working there every day.

The matters got much worse, when the cook Hamza was found dead, his throat slit open from ear to ear, that some of the servant girls simply left the palace, never to return to it again as they were too scared to go near it.

Even some of the men had decided to abandon their post as they felt an unknown enemy had cursed the palace and there were no way that they wanted to be the next victims of whatever curse had taken hold in the palace.

Those who choose to stay behind did not want to lose their jobs and they worked as hard as they could, too keep themselves busy so they did not have time to think about the evil that seemed to creep around inside the palace.

With fewer people walking around in the palace a fear grabbing their very hearts and minds, everyone seemed to have forgotten about the treasure vault and the three keys that were needed to unlock it.

Zerah already had the first key, which the Sultan always carried around on himself. After the guards found his body, it had been searched but the key had already been taken at that point.

The guards were furious as they could not enter the vault without it and they started searching everywhere and everyone for it. It did not take long for the guards to lose their discipline, and would take the servant girls and lay with them against the girls will.

Zerah kept out of sight and avoided being seen by sticking to the shadows and that was when she spotted Mahira, a servant girl that also was good at hiding within the palace. Mahira was hiding her key close to her body and Zerah made short work of her and killed her by cutting her throat open with a knife.

Mahira did not even see her coming as the silent death that would claim her life. She never saw her attacker.

Zerah only needed one more key and then she could enter the treasure vault and find her master´s Zeal within it.

Using her master's magic, her face now made her look like Mahira and now she had to get the third key. That key was belonging to the one guard that was protecting the door into the vault.

He was a big man with big muscles, broad shoulders, and he towered over most men, so only he was needed to guard the door into the vault. He was going to be near impossible to get past, as all those that tried to get past him was cut in half with his big sword.

He would be impossible to get past and Zerah doubted that he would accept anything to drink, as he seemed to be of the suspicious type that would think that his drink was poisoned.

It made it impossible to get close to the vault, but Zerah still had some of the poison she took from that pathetic doctor, so now she just had to find a way to poison the guard.

Zerah as Mahira walked over to the kitchens were there were plenty of guards. She planned to get some wine that could be poisoned, but with all the guards around she decided to abandon that plan and instead went down to the floor were the treasure vault was.

She could sense the men looking at her and she noticed that one of them was following her and she heard him say, "You there. I do not believe I have seen you here before."

She answered, "I have always worked here."

"What is your name?"

"My name is Mahira"

"Mahira that is a nice name. I have already taken a few girls this week and I want you to go down on your knees and suck on my manhood."

"Why on earth should I do that?"

"Because if you refuse I will kill you!"

Zerah started to run as fast as she could. She knew where the vault was and she had to get to it or as close to it as possible!

Just as she saw the big door that led into the vault and the big guard that was guarding the door, her assailant caught her. He that held her down and lifted up in her clothes.

The guard at the door yelled, "Stop that at once!"

Her assailant was either deaf or did not care for he was doing his utmost to turn Zerah around so he could place himself on top of her and have his way with her.

The big guard started moving towards the man and her assailant said, "Ah, I knew you wanted to take part in…"

Before he could finish that sentence, blood came out from his lower torso as he had been cut in half by the big guard.

Zerah saw the weakness immediately as she looked up on the guard as she lay on her back.

This guard was using an armor he had worn before but never fixed, as there was an opening in his leg armor, where some of his skin could be seen where his artery would be.

Without thinking twice about it, Zerah plunged her knife deep into his leg and cut his artery. The guard was screaming and he moved away from her so fast that his own pouch fell to the floor and a third key fell out of it. He was busy trying to stop the wound from bleeding, Zerah grabbed the third key, and turned towards the big door, she put all three keys into the keyholes, and the door was unlocked.

"The noise comes from over there!" she heard a voice shout and she heard the approaching footsteps.

She opened one of the doors and went through it and turned around and shut the door behind them, and blocked the door from the other side with a bar lock made of wood, so the door could not be opened from the other side. Zerah was safe and she turned around.

She was looking inside the treasure chamber that was highly organized. On the shelfs, build into the wall was multiple gold and silver bars laying stacked upon one another, and multiple sacks placed against the wall contained many gold and silver coins.

Diamonds and jewels glittered in many colors from a special shrine, and there stood ancient vases against the wall and weapons engraved with precious stones hung from the wall. Where these weapons came from no one could say anymore.

There was nothing in here that she wanted. In another life, she would have stolen all this wealth.

She wanted to become like her master and his kind. That was what she was aiming for, for then what would gold, and jewels and food really mean?

Zerah noticed that their seemed to be a draft behind a wooden shelf and she pushed the shelf aside revealing an open door way that lead to a black shrine. Within it was a wooden box with a demonic horned face that looked up upon her, and showed sharp teeth.

"This is it!" she thought to herself. "This is one of the five Zeals."

She heard the voice from outside the room, "Can we get through the door? See if you can smash it to pieces. Leave the big guy alone, he is dead anyway, we must get through this door."

She opened the box and found the seal within. It was made of gold and the same demonic face with horns was looking at her and showing its sharp teeth. Suddenly the face started moving on the Zeal and it was laughing. The laughing echoed inside the room and seemed to be all around her. She looked down at the laughing face and started laughing with it.

She just barely heard a person behind the door said, "What is this laughter? This place is cursed! Run for your life if you want to protect your souls. We are out of here!"

She found it hilarious that these fools was so afraid of this power, the power that was about to be hers and she kept laughing with the head until the tears stood out of her eyes and she asked the image, "Can you show me a fast way down to the door?"

The laughing head upon the Zeal said, "Touch the head that looks like me!"

"Who are you?"

"I am of the eternal Djinn!"

Now Zerah stood in the middle of the treasure chamber again and silently she looked around the room and saw a statue of a head that looked like the image on the Zeal and as she touched the statue, she pushed it stone eyes inwards and a secret passage was revealed.

The passage was directly linked to the treasure chamber and another spiral staircase was revealed in the passage. Zerah went down the staircase that seemed to spiral downward for an eternity. Then the staircase suddenly stopped and did not reach the ground, so Zerah had to let herself fall a little and she landed on her bottom.

It seemed like she was no longer inside the palace itself, but had come to some kind of cave system. With nothing to lose and holding the Zeal in her hands, she continued forward and followed the tunnels that seemed to stretch and twist as snakes and then she came to an underground room, which showed a completely different architecture than the palace above her.

The columns here were twisting and turning as the images of the Djinn danced upon them and images of their faces had eyes that followed her every movement, and the drum was heard again and her heart started dancing to it, as she started laughing and twisting and turning.

This palace lay beneath a palace, but was it a temple as well she asked herself as she danced. They were looking at her dancing and laughing, and the images of the Djinn started doing it as well, where after they started to cut each other open and their wounds closed up once again and she heard their voices in orgasmic screaming.

Zerah asked, "Am I a part of you?"

"You are!" all the voices said as one and she cried tears of joy for finally she was home, with the family that wanted her.

"This is for you Master!" and she looked down on the Zeal with the laughing face. "I will release you all and I want to transform into you. Open me up and heal me again for I am one of you for I love you all!"

"We love you to!" they responded. "Now, dance your way to the tunnels end until you cannot go anywhere."

She did and she walked, danced, and sang her way to the end of the tunnels where another statue in form of a face of the Djinn was built into the very rock itself. She pushed its eyes inwards and the wall sprang aside revealing the first spiral staircase that lead up to the temple ruins above her. Now instead of two passageways there were three, and she went to the one furthest on the right from the staircase and she stood in front of the door with the five empty slots were something could be inserted.

She pushed the Zeal into one of the slots, but the door did not move. She had not expected it to.

"Only four to go!" Zerah said to herself.

Chapter 64: Anna: A Nightmare Is Over

Nell was not speaking, and Anna did not know what to do.

It was not because that Nell had lost the ability to speak, but it was only few words, that escaped her lips now and then.

"Yes," "Okay" and "No," were those she seemed to favor now.

Nell had passed out, as Anna tortured Lucy with the warm knife. She had taken her sweet time with the torture, but in the end, she had cut open Lucy´s throat, as Anna realized, that no matter how much she tortured Lucy, it would not bring the child back to life, or stabilize Nell's condition.

After Anna was done with Lucy, as the rain poured hard down on her, she had rushed over to Nell, who was still laying on the ground unconscious. The bleeding she had when she gave birth to the dead child had stopped, and Anna was hopeful that Nell would come to herself again.

She did not.

At first, Nell came to herself, dazed and confused of what had just happened, but as the memories slowly came back to her again, the first thing she asked was, "Anna. My sweet Anna. What happened to me, where are my child?"

Anna did not know how to even start, but she began it as best as she could, "Nell, you were punched very hard in your stomach."

Anna saw Nell´s eyes become wider, as she was starting to understand, that she had lost the child, and Anna did not know how to react to that or what to expect.

That was the thing.

She had expected some kind of reaction, a hysterical laughter or a waterfall of tears from those pretty, green eyes, but none of that came.

Anna noticed that Nell's breathing had become normal, the shock of what had happened seemed to leave her, and unexpectedly, Nell said, "I am so hungry. I am so hungry and thirsty."

Anna looked at the meat that had been prepared by Isa and realized that it was soaking wet and inedible.

Anna went over to Isa's horse, looked through the small satchel bag and found some more meat, but it was no good cooking it now, as the rain poured down upon them, as if all the angels in heaven had decided to take a piss at the same time, if angels existed that is.

Anna went over to Nell with her water sack, and gave it to Nell, who drank from it as if she had not had something to drink in a million years, and Nell handed it back to Anna, with a thank you, and then Nell passed out again.

Through the rest of the night, Anna guarded over Nell, and the next morning, Nell woke up, got up and did not say much.

Anna had hidden the bodies of Lucy, Wilhelm, Isa, Kevin up behind the rock were Anna, and Nell a few hours earlier had been enjoying each other's bodies and love.

Now, to Anna Nell felt cold and distant and Anna did not need to ask why.

The death of the child had done something to Nell, or maybe she was trying to process it. To Anna it seemed like Nell had forgotten about Isa and Kevin, and as they continued on their journey, cold and so far away from everything, it seemed to Anna like Nell was not even noticing that there were to horses besides their own, with no one riding on them, and Anna feared that Nell was shutting down emotionally.

As they rode side by side, Nell did not speak unless spoken to, and Anna asked her if she wanted to talk about it, and Nell said, "No."

As the road made a swing, they had come to an inn and a stable boy came running out of the inn to take care of the horses.

Anna said, that he was to make sure all the horses got something to eat and drink, and the stable boy started his job immediately, as Anna and Nell went inside the inn. They had money enough. Anna had checked both bodies of Kevin and Isa and had gone through their things, and Anna was now in possession of a purse filled with silver coins, some gold coins, and a few bronze coins and jewelry.

Anna headed straight for the innkeeper, a big-breasted woman, that was missing an eye and had golden teeth, and Anna said, "I would like to rent a room for the night, with a bed for two people."

The innkeeper smiled a golden smile and said, "One night ay? That will be five silver coins, and for that price, you get warm food in your stomach, and beer to wash it down with, does this sound tempting?"

Anna felt her mouth water up.

"Yes it does, when do we eat?"

"I can make something for you two now."

That was a deal.

Anna payed her, and was shown the room, a little one with a bed big enough for two people and with fresh pillows and blankets to them both.

Anna and Nell went down to the main hall again, sat down at a table for two, and waited for the food.

The innkeeper had told them, that there was a fresh ham in the oven, which would be accompanied by fresh potatoes, and a newly made sauce, and they would be having it later in the evening. The food they would get now, consisted of fresh bread, butter, cheese, and some small cuts of chicken meat, and light beer to drink.

As Anna and Nell sat opposite each other Anna looked around, but did not see many people in the inn, there were only a very few people, and they were all men. Anne felt their gaze upon them both, and she felt very uneasy, as if she could not sit and just enjoy herself and Nell's company.

As the meal was brought out to them alongside the beer, Anna came to the realization of just how hungry she was, and in that moment were the Innkeeper turned her back to her, Anna was ready to eat it all, in just a few big bites. It took all her self-control not to do that, that was not how she had been raised, she knew her table manners after all.

Nell was eating her food with a great appetite, which made Anna wonder if she should ask Nell, what her thoughts were, but she decided not to do it. On the way here, the conversation had been about all the things that had happened, but to Anna it seemed like Nell had shut her ears for it, that she did not want to think about any of it, and Anna knew that Nell had become unstable.

That could be very dangerous for Anna could not guess Nell's thoughts, and did not know what to do, but she had to do something.

She thought about it and asked Nell, "Nell, does the food taste good, do you enjoy it?"

"It is fantastic Anna, I am so glad to be eating again.

All that, she said in a tone, as if nothing had happened and nothing was wrong.

Anna thought a bit and said, "Nell, I want you to just hear me out right, so you know what I am thinking and all that. I want you to know that I love you more than anything else in this world. I cannot guess what is on your mind. All we have been through from the death of Kevin, Isa, the two bandits, the child, all of Arendelle. I just want you to know that when you are ready to talk about it all, please say so, I do not want to see you hurt."

Anna lay her hand on top of Nell's, which had been resting on the table, and awaited Nell answer, or what felt like a judgement upon her.

Nell moved her fingers so they were entwined with Anna's, and Nell said, "Thank you Anna, I just need to be alone within myself; I need to find out where I stand, please be patient with me."

Before Anna could respond, two men stood at their table, both of them dressed in black, and one of them said, "Hello, ladies, I was wondering what you two are doing here alone without company?"

Anna did not like his tone but responded, "We keep each other company, now what do you want here?"

"Hahaha, getting all riled up now are we?" the second man said. "I am sorry it was not our meaning to frighten you two, but as you see we live in the area, and the only way we get news are from those who come to this inn. We just wanted to know if there were any news of interest, you could share with us?"

Anna said, "No, but perhaps you have heard some news, we have been traveling for some time."

The first man said, "My name is Derik by the way, and this is Hasdar. I do have some news for you both though, if we may keep you company?"

Anna looked at Nell, who did not seem to mind, and Anna said, "Okay, what news do you have for us?"

Derik responded: "Many big news I can tell you. The Sultan of Tehomia, his queen and remaining son is dead. The Sultan and his queen were found to have died within their own palace, apparently they were poisoned and the son was seen falling outside the palace, but his body has not been found."

Anna though about Elsa, and the ice order she had with the Tehomian family back then, but this was shocking news.

"Poisoned you say?"

"Yes, the rulers were found dead after they had been eating a meal that may have been poisoned."

Anna started to wonder if the death of The Sultan and his family was just a coincidence or if it somehow was linked to Elsa.

"What other news?"

"Rapunzel, the princess of Corona, is pregnant with her first child."

Anna looked over at Nell, who kept her eyes looking at the table away from Anna´s and Anna felt the urge to pull out Derik´s tongue, so he never could say another word.

"What other news do you have for us?"

Derik leaned towards Anna, and then he said, "Here is the biggest one of all the news. Hans of "The Southern Isles" has been assassinated by an unknown assassin."

Anna felt like she was in a dream and noticed her own beating heart as the news hit her. Hans, the tormenter of so many people were dead. Anna gazed upon Nell, and saw that she had gotten up and left the table, going up to their rented room.

Anna said, "Are you sure this is real news, and not just something people say just for the fun of it?"

"No, it is true, many ships from the Southern Isles confirms that Hans has been killed, and with his death, the royal line of Westergaards has ended."

"No, it ended with a punch," Anna thought to herself.

She gave them both a silver coin to buy themselves some drinks for, thanked them for the information and went up to Nell.

She was about to knock on the door, when it swung open, and Nell pulled her inside and clung to Anna like she was never going to let her go. She was crying her heart out, and Anna knew that all of it was going to come out now, all of the bad things that had happened, had been processed by Nell, and Anna was going to be there for her.

Nell wiped her tears away and looked up on Anna, and Anna gazed into those eyes of Nell´s and not even thinking about it, Anna kissed her, kissed the love of her life, her real true love.

As they lay down on the comforting warm bed, Anna kissed Nell again and said, "Hans cannot hurt us anymore, it is over."

Chapter 65: Rapunzel: The Vault

The treasure vault underneath the palace truly lived up to its name when one walked through a set of golden double doors into the vault itself. Gold, silver, diamonds, rubies, crystals and artefacts from the days of old, was all hidden away inside the massive vault, and so was the dagger, that nearly had claimed her life.

She looked at her father and asked, "Do you think it is true?"

"What is true?"

"Arendelle and its destruction?"

"The merchants at the harbor all agree that it has happened, so there has got to be some truth to it. We can only hope that Elsa and Anna got out of that place in time, and with a little luck, they are headed over here. We are after all their remaining family."

"What shall we do when they get here? Are we to support them financially?"

"That depends what they have to tell us. I am personally going to ask them about what has happened, and then we must see what can be done from that point on, but first we must see if they even will appear, or if the fire, that burned down the palace, consumed them both alive."

Rapunzel nodded at that. He was right after all. There was nothing, they could do to help the people in Arendelle now, for they were all dead, but if the sisters came to them, they could help them with shelter and food.

Rapunzel looked at the knife that had almost claimed her life and wondered what kind of evil person would create such a deadly artefact. She thought about what her father had said earlier to her mother about the possibility of a conspiracy against the royal families.

Rapunzel did not think that to be truth for why should it. Why would anybody want her and her family dead?

A bit fearful she rested her hand on her stomach, now where she knew that there was a life inside of her. She had woken some mornings with a full stomach from the night before, and she had thrown that food up again.

It had made her feel so un-princess like, but Flynn had been looking at her the same way he always did, a gaze full of love, and it made her feel like her heart was set on fire with love for him.

They had told her parents the news, and her mother had hugged them both and congratulating them, and had started crying. Her father on the other hand, had not moved a muscle, but a smile had kept across his lips and he had nodded in approval.

A few hours later, he had decided to take Rapunzel down into the treasure vault, so she could get familiar with the vault itself and the wonders within it.

Her father said, "There are many legends regarding our castle itself but a legend are not based on a real truth, while other people believe that these legends are as true as I see you standing here with me, my child. There are rumors that this treasure vault, is but one of many, and there are other treasure vaults buried even deeper below the castle in the darkness of the rock this castle was built on. I do not think that is true my child, but I know what gold does to a man. Give the man a coin and he wants more, give him a fortune, and he wants more. It is only special men that has the ability to say, "I have enough," but even then, when is it enough? The greed becomes the first infection of a man's soul, and that man wants more and more, and when the man stops getting, he takes and he takes, what is not his to take. Then his soul is infected with fear, nothing but fear, but it is not fear for his own life that worries the man, but it is the fear of losing what he has. The fear of another man taking what is his. Greed and fear turn us into ugly beings far removed from what we humans has the possibility to achieve. When greed and the fear of losing what is his, starts taking root in him, the anger starts appearing. He lashes out on everyone, his friends, family, and his allies, that causes more anger in a chain-reaction. Then comes the violence and the violence where both guilty and innocents suffer and dies alike, and more violence makes the greedy one psychotic and beastly. Then those around him turns on him as they realize what he is. A crowned beast or one wearing silk is a beast no matter what, and those around him notice that. They turn on him, for his heart has become full of greed, fear, anger, violence, and he had become insane, and so the man is killed by the very people he thought he could trust and ruled over, for those around him do not want a beast for a king. This do not just apply to men, but also to women as well, women most of all. We do live in a society where it is not easy being a woman, no one denies that, but there have been female rulers in these five kingdoms before and many of them did have their lives ended by treachery and assassinations. Most of the time, those people she was supposed to rule over were the culprits, and they hated those female rulers with a passion."

Her father looked at her and saw that she was looking at him with big eyes.

"Yes, you might seem a bit shocked over this sudden speech of mine, but there is a lesson to be learned by it. Those female rulers believed that they were given powers to rule over the people and that led them to believe that they were more fitting into a man's job, but those men they surrounded themselves with would not fight under the banner of some woman as they only wanted to follow a man into battle. Those women that lived a long and healthy life as queens and rulers of kingdoms of old were those that inspired true loyalty and love within her own people, in their hearts and their minds. Once they had that love, the men surrounding her would not be able to touch her without suffering the wrath of the people themselves, so do you understand now why I am telling you this, and why it is important for you to learn about this? Do you understand the lessons behind all of this?"

Rapunzel thought a bit, but then she spoke: "For a women like me when I rule over our land, shall not let my heart and mind be infected with greed, fear, anger, violence, and insanity, but shall instead rule with an open mind. I shall only make choices based on wisdom, and win the hearts and minds of the people, I will be ruling over."

Her father looked at her, smiled, went over to her, went down on one knee, and looked her in the eyes.

"What is the final lesson you have not said?

"That there are things much more important than all the wealth within this room."

He smiled and said, "That day you were taken away from us, I would give all the wealth in this room as well as this kingdom, and all the wealth in the world to see you returned back to us my darling daughter. When your mother and I are gone from this world, our legacy does not live on in our kingdom or our people, but our legacy lives on in you, as our line continued, but in this world of violence it is important that you always remember to make wise decisions, or it can go horribly wrong for you."

Rapunzel felt the tears in her eyes and she hugged her father, as she finally understood his speech to its fullest, and for what felt like a long time they hugged each other until it was time to leave the vault and return upstairs again, where the others were waiting for their daily teatime.

When they finally reached the living room, they found both the queen and Flynn already waiting for them, and for some time they talked about the weather and the vault, before the real talk began.

As they were about to begin it, Healer Martin came with a letter, that was supposed to end up in the king's hand, a letter for the king.

The envelope was white and on it stood with pretty letters written in curves, To His Majesty.

Slowly the king opened the envelope and stood with a white paper in his hand, as he read it to himself.

"What is it?" the queen asked but her husband did not answer.

Rapunzel could see it in his eyes.

They were slowly moving from side to side, as he read each line on the paper and while his face did not reveal anything, his eyes revealed everything.

There was disbelief and wrath in his eyes and he held the paper so tightly that Rapunzel was afraid that blood would come out of his hand, so tightly was he grasping it, but luckily, no such thing happened.

Then he spoke, "There are something written in this letter that is quite concerning, and it concerns Elsa and Anna of Arendelle."

"What is written?" the queen asked him and looked very concerned.

The king looked at Rapunzel and Flynn and then to his wife and then he told them, that the meeting was over, and he and the queen would return to their private rooms to discuss the things, that was written on the paper. Flynn and Rapunzel had the rest of the day off to do what they wanted to do, as long as they did it quietly.

Rapunzel and Flynn went over to their private quarters, while they speculated about the letter.

"What do you think was written in it Flynn?"

"Who knows love, but no matter what it was it had your father freaked out."

"Indeed."

"But I am sure it is nothing to be worried about."

"I am not so sure about that."

Rapunzel looked at Flynn, he gave her a kiss, and soon their tongues were playing catch with each other.

"You are beautiful Rapunzel."

She made a girly grin and then she told him what the king had showed her in the vault.

"Sounds amazing with all that gold."

"Do not get any ideas."

"Hey, I have changed you know."

"I know."

"Speaking of changed, I remember the first time I met you in that tower, I was strapped up to the chair. You were fearful back then and it is good to see how far you have come."

"I had you help me find my parents of course. It is good that they were able to recognize me."

"Yes, I have been thinking about that actually, they were able to recognize you because you look so much like you mother."

"And that is after all a good thing; she is my mother after all."

"Every child inherit something from its parents, and I see the resemblance with your mother, but I do not recognize that much of your father in your facial features."

Rapunzel looked at him and had no idea what she was supposes to say to that, but then she said, "Then maybe it is just my charming personality I have inherited from him, right?"

Flynn gave a little smile, and as it became night and there stomachs were full, and he rested beside her with his arms around her, her mind was far from ready to go to sleep, it was working under high pressure of what Flynn had just told her.

Yes, it was right that she looked a lot like the queen herself, but it was also true that it did not seem like she had inherited any features from her father, and that thought kept her awake the whole night.

Chapter 66: Elsa: Not The Ideal Marriage

When Elsa was just a little girl, she used to imagine how her wedding was going to be, and that imagination, would keep her awake some nights.

She imagined standing in the church dressed in a white wedding gown, a white vail on top of her head covering her face, so her husband to be had to remove it first. Then she thought about the pearl necklace she would have around her neck, the golden bracelets around her wrists, her lips glazed with a seductive red lipstick.

Many flowers entangled in her hair, with the colors of the rainbow, and on her feet, she had white shoes on. She would be the most beautiful of all women, who had ever married, and she wanted people to look at her, on her wedding day, go down on their knees and declare her the fairest one of all.

Her husband to be would be dressed in black and would be standing in front of the priest with a smirk on his lips thinking that this was his and Elsa´s day and anybody that would try to ruin that would suffer the consequences of their mistake of trying to intervene in the marriage.

Then it changed with Elsa imagining, that a knight in white amour would come and protest, and challenge her husband to be, to a duel. The knight would be victorious, would carry her out of the church to a winged horse, and they would fly out into the sunset with Elsa knowing that she would live happily forever after with the knight as her husband, and many kids surrounding them.

Her actual wedding was one glazed in darkness, and a few written lines upon a document the representative from the syndicate had brought with him. Only a single candle was needed as most people had lived in the darkness for so long that they could make out even the smallest black letter written upon a page of white paper, but sometimes there was a need for a little light.

Nobody came as witnesses at the signing of the official marriage document and Elsa was not dressed in white or had flowers in her hair. Her lips did not have red lipstick on, and both her and Tom, were stinking of sweat, their clothes soaked in the sweat from the hard work they were doing.

They had been making swords and amour that moment the representative had arrived, and they were married shortly after, and Elsa felt devastated as she signed the papers.

This was never how she had imagined any of her weddings. Then again, after all the things she had done, she had never expected to get married at all.

Her clothes consisted pretty much of a large sack with holes in it, which covered her body, as their work would ruin any other ordinary clothes, which Tom had procured for her, and it kept the smell in as well, as long as no one came close to her.

Tom had done his very best to look presentable and had even cut his hair so it was not unfiltered and disgusting, but no matter what he might have done to look better, this was not the wedding Elsa had imagined.

She took solace in the fact that now her name would be written side by side next to Tom´s on the syndicate´s life list, so she was no more in immediate danger, and that was at least a start.

She was after all working hard alongside Tom to create amour and swords, and cooling down the swords faster by blowing cold air on them, using her abilities for something productive at least. The syndicate had noticed that Tom, was better and faster to make weapons, and the syndicate had decided that Tom should be their new weapons master, and as a result, Elsa and Tom was starting to make some serious money.

It did not go unnoticed that Tom and Elsa had become a couple and were working effectively with each other, and it had made some people wonder of how Tom was capable to produce weapons seamlessly just like that, without ever going for fresh water, which would take time to transport.

Tom had a little room build out of cheap scrap metal, in which Elsa would take the glowing hot sword and then use her ice cold breath to cool it down a bit, without other people seeing what she did with it, and what strange and dangerous abilities she seemed to have.

Some people came to them if they needed something made or came to them just to say hi and be acquainted with Elsa, who after all was new in "The Black Box," and some were working for the syndicate, and was very talkative.

Tom and Elsa agreed that Elsa was not to show her powers to anyone else, to keep them both safe. First Elsa had said that if she was not allowed to use her abilities, her powers could almost explode out of her, so Tom told her she could only use them at work behind the locked door and at home, in their own apartment, but nowhere else was she allowed to use her powers.

Some people would be seeing Elsa as a witch if they ever discovered her powers and that could be very dangerous for them both.

Everything else had gone easy, from that day Elsa and Tom had paired up. They had been working long hours each day, as there was no such thing as a weekend in "The Black Box."

Only a few was sitting down, unable to do anything. They were the ones who would be dying in a few days, as work in "The Black Box" was the same thing as life. You had to do something or you would just end up being expendable. Everybody wanted to be on the syndicate´s life list, but if you were not on it, you could be in extreme danger.

The syndicate did from time to time; make "The Sweep" of all floors of the building, killing all of those who was not on their list of life. It would be up to everyone else in the building to clean up the bodies and dispose of them.

They did this by going down to the lowest floor, the basement, which functioned as a morgue. Every single human corpse was cremated down there, and the ashes was given to a guard stationed outside, who would scatter the ashes into the sea and was as a result payed a little extra coin for that duty.

It was hard work to help Tom out with his work, for she started to learn a bit more on how to make different things, how to bent metal, strengthen it, make it sharp, decorate it even, and Elsa´s hands hurt.

This was not the kind of job, which she had ever imagined herself being in, and Elsa did not want to complain. She had not asked for this. She had lost control because of her sister because of the things she had done.

Every time she struck the metal with a hammer, she imagined Anna´s face, how she had killed Olaf, how she lost control because of her anger and sadness, and Elsa knew the chances of her ever seeing her sister again was next to nonexistent, but she hoped that someday, she could bury her hammer right through her sister's skull.

Elsa felt trapped. She was trapped outside, when people learned what she had done. She was trapped inside "The Black Box" and now she was trapped in a marriage, that kept her alive, and her own choices limited.

Elsa and Tom returned to their work, and when the final knife for the day had been made and payed for by the syndicate, they both went home together exhausted from the day's work and Elsa felt like crying. This was not how she had imagined her wedding day. No one came to it; she did not have any nice clothes on or a beautiful wedding gown. She was in a marriage with a man she felt forced to marry, because otherwise she would end up dead, when the syndicate decided, that she had outlived her usefulness, and she was dirty and sweaty all over.

As they both interred their apartment, Elsa went straight to a bucket of cold water placed in her room, took her sack off, took a little washcloth and dipped it in the water and began running the cloth up and down her body, getting most of all the dirt and sweat of her body.

Her tears started to pound upon her eyes, wanting to escape down her cheeks.

When she had control again, she went into Tom´s room and found him setting up the table for two with candles!

Candles was an "Item of Pleasure," and cost a lot within "The Black Box."

Tom went over to her, lay his hands upon her waist, and said, "I have something for you Elsa, I hope you like it."

He held a little necklace in his hands and asked Elsa to turn around, and she felt the cold metal against her chest, as Tom put the necklace on her.

He said, "I know that was not the ideal wedding, but this is the way for many people in here, when they get married as well. This necklace is made out of pure silver and the hearth like shape at the end of it is made from solid gold."

Elsa did not know what to say. Such a fine neckless from a man, she had almost just met, and did not know that well. When she saw herself in the mirror, and saw the dark reflection of herself, the heart necklace stood out, and she felt herself very lucky.

She turned around and saw that Tom had placed some bread on the table alongside some butter, a wheel of cheese and even some small cookies, which he placed on the table.

Elsa knew that the candles and butter, cheese and cookies had to have cost a fortune, the same thing as the necklace, and Tom said to her while he smiled, "It not much and it cost a lot, but it is our wedding, and I would like to do something special for you."

Right when he said that, she loved him more than anything in the world. That despite the fact he was a man she had met only a few days ago, and did not really know much about.

Tom went over to the cupboard, took a vase with fresh flowers out of it and placed it on the table, then he took a little red rose, went over to Elsa and placed it in her hair above her ear, and Elsa stood up on her toes and kissed him.

Then she said, "Thank you for making this day so special!" and kissed him again, where after she placed her arms around his neck and pulled his head down towards her waiting lips.

As they kissed Elsa thought, that she had to learn to open more up to Tom, in that way she believed, that their marriage could be truly worth something.

They sat down at the table and started eating the fresh bread, butter and cheese, and it tasted so good, that Elsa thought she had a new favorite dish, and as they ate, Elsa knew what she was going to do after they were finished eating.

She would do her best to be a loving wife for Tom and she started fantasizing about him. Tom was talking about the huge order of jobs they had to complete the next day, but Elsa was barely listening to it.

She warmed herself up for him and felt herself become wet down between her thighs, and then she said, "Tom we are married now, I think it is time you carried your bride over to her bed, do you not think so?"

She was eager for what was to come.

Tom picked her up in his arms and carried her over to her bed, and as she was put down on her back, he was on top of her, kissing her with slow passionate kisses, their tongues playing with each other, her arms around his neck in an embrace of love.

All the things that had happened, the death of Olaf, that cunt Nell and her sisters betrayal of her, the destruction of her ancestral home, the death of all the citizens of Arendelle, choosing to be locked up in "The Black Box," it was all gone from her mind. Now it was just him, which occupied her mind, her body, her soul and her life.

Elsa knew what was to come and was eager for it to happen. When Tom had said, that he did expect of her to have sex with him as a married couple, she had though it a depressive, almost nauseating idea, but he had shown her nothing but kindness, and now she belonged to him, as he belonged to her.

Elsa eagerly tried to remove his clothes, exposing his naked chest, and stopped as a long scar became visible upon it, going from his chest and down and across to his hip, and Elsa froze in her movements.

Tom looked at Elsa, down on himself, and said, "This scar I got a long time ago, it does not hurt me. Does it repulse you?"

Elsa sat up on her legs, and licked the scar with her tongue from his hip and upwards and said, "Does that answer your question?"

He kissed her again with such passion, that Elsa for a moment thought she was back in that dream with Hans, and it dawned for her that the voice she used to hear, had been silent for a long time, and what happened with Tamas?

Tom must have felt her thoughts, for he stopped and asked, "Is something wrong?"

Elsa responded, "No, I just realized how lucky I am."

"Oh?"

"Having you for myself."

"I do my best."

"Not that silly. I just thought I was going to die alone, surrounded by false friends."

"Not here, not with me, not ever. I love you Elsa."

In another time, she would have giggled and called him a lovesick puppy, for she had not known him for long, but words like "Love" in "The Black Box," where a word that killed or saved another, it all depended on who spoke that word and to whom.

"I love you" were a dangerous sentence outside this bedroom, as people could be using that word to hurt one another, or manipulate each other, but here on the bed, in their home, it was the sweetest and most important sentence that could be spoken between those two.

Elsa loved that word love, accepted it, and gave him her word that she loved him with all of her heart and she was his for the rest of their lives.

Tom lifted up in Elsa´s clean clothes, and soon she sat naked beside him, all of her exposed to him, his gaze running up and down her body, and Elsa felt exposed, as if all of her, even her inner thought, were laying wide open to him, even her mind and most personal feelings.

He kissed her again softly and kissed her breast and nipples, kissed her with such a passion and Elsa felt ready to go the next step. She regretted having experimented with her traitor of a sister, but on that note, Elsa was still a virgin, as she had never been with a man before. Something she wanted and was getting now.

She wanted to feel him inside herself, a thought that scared and excited her at the same time as her cheeks blushed red against the white, and she felt at peace within herself.

Tom had taken his pants of exposing his erect manhood, gently he pushed her down on the bed, kissing her lips, and Elsa closed her eyes as she waited for him to enter her, his dick knocking on her door.

When it touched her down there a shock was sent though her body and Tom asked, "Is this your first time?"

Elsa nodded and Tom said, "As it is your first time it is not going to feel pleasant for you, but I will be careful, you have to get over the initial shock of it, but first I will do this."

"What?"

"Feel it."

She felt it as his tongue touched her opening, wet and playful, tasting her and Elsa moaned, "Yes, right there, just there."

She was a woman of ice, but her body felt as if it was on fire, something in her wanting more and more, wanting something, no one had truly given her, time, passion and everlasting true love.

Tom got up and entered her and Elsa felt shock and pain as he was the first to do it, and she tried not to show how much it hurt her.

Elsa forced his head down towards her and kissed him, as to keep her mind away from it, she felt like something else was leaving her body and asked what it was.

Tom said, "Your maidenhead has been broken, so there is a bit of blood, but it is not so much. It will become easier after that, and more pleasurable."

Elsa nodded and moaned ignoring the pain.

Tom kissed her everywhere, her lips her nipples, sniffed in her scent, and Elsa placed her hands around his waist, lifted her legs, and put them around his waist so they encircled him, as she moaned, "Yes. Yes right there. I am yours."

What was it that made her do it? To give herself to someone so easy. It was something else when she married him, so she no longer was in danger from the syndicate´s cleaning squads, but she had fallen for him, the man who had saved her, and he had not asked for anything in return, but had suggested the marriage to keep her safe.

Something that she could have said no to.

Maybe it was because she always wanted to be with someone, to be married and live happily forever after and now for the first time in forever that moment had come to her. It came when she gave up her right to a life outside of "The Black Box," so she felt more than blessed to have a sweet man that cared for her, a man she worked close with and lived together with, a man she loved.

It was true, that in "The Black Box," only those who stuck together survived, but she did not just want to survive. She wanted to live and Elsa was going to do just that with him.

She sniffed in his scent as she hugged him close, tasted his tongue, their saliva mixing with each other.

Tom had become slightly more red across his face, and touched her body, played with her breast as Elsa seemed to become more aware of her body, aware of the places he touched her, aware of her own sounds and moans, that said his name, and as their movements became more intense, Tom said: "I am almost there."

Elsa´s mind froze. He was ready to cum inside of her, but was that what they wanted. Did they want a child born in darkness? Was that it, no other things, they could do? They had not talked about that at all.

Tom must have become aware of her facial expression, he must have thought the same thing, and he asked, "What do I do?"

She loved him. She really did. He said that she was to decide, that she was in control, and Elsa said, "Pull out."

Tom looked at her, but he pulled out and as he was about to finish off on her stomach, she grabbed hold of his hand and let them away from his manhood. She led both of his hands over to her breasts and made him play with them, as she pushed him down on the bed and she got on top of him.

It was not enough for her to have some control. She had been raised as a queen, and she was going to be his queen. She wanted control in the marriage bed.

She asked, "Do we want a child or will it be too difficult and dangerous?"

He responded, "We are a married couple, my love, and I would like to start a family with you. Do you not want the same thing?"

Elsa thought for a bid, as she rubbed her pussy against his stomach, her hand rubbing his dick. What kind of people would both of them be, to bring a child into an environment such as this? A child born into darkness, never getting the chance to live outside "The Black Box?" To never feel, its feet touch the green grass, unless it was something that was brought in from the outside, which was just not the same thing?

Elsa loved Tom, and the greatest gift she could give him was to give him what he wanted with her. A child made with him, as the darkness surrounded them both.

In something that felt as another life, Elsa was the queen of Arendelle, to be married to a man for political purposes, and with a marriage to seal the deal and friendship between two kingdoms. Now, she could have been trapped in a loveless marriage, set aside for a young whore that her husband wanted to be more with than with her. Elsa getting children she did not want in the first place. Maybe her husband would abuse her until she became unable to love him and her own sons. Maybe she would hurt her sons, her children, or do something even worse to them, and become a drunkard, which cared for nothing but her own lost dreams and paths not walked, regret filling her hearth with hate and contempt for everyone else but herself.

It was then she realized that it was not her destiny to walk such a path anymore. She married a man, who loved her, and whom she loved back. Elsa realized that she did indeed want to have a child with him, as it became a child born of her own free will, and with the love of her husband to back her up.

Elsa led his dick inside her as she sat there on top of him, and then she humped him, and felt his thrust up all the way through her body. She was shivering as sweat ran down from her body as she moaned with pleasure, Tom´s hands feeling up and down her body, touching her legs, and grabbed her buttocks, squeezing them as Elsa moaned out in pleasure.

She saw his face and saw he was almost ready to come again, and Elsa said, "Cum in me my love, cum in me!"

She rode him, and felt herself reach her climax, and as she did, her mind went blank and she fell over him like a doll, as she heard his voice sounding so far away. She felt empty for all thoughts except the feeling of pure love, as shivers went through her body, and slowly she came to herself.

Tom had closed his eyes, and she could say from his breathing that he had fallen asleep. Elsa slowly moved up and kissed him on his lips as he awoke again.

He asked, "How was it my love?"

"It hurt at first, but it was perfect!"

"I am glad you liked it."

"I am glad and I am in love with you."

"Love you too Elsa."

Elsa´s head rested on his chest and she felt his fingers going up and down through her hair, as they rested. She was happy and in a good mood, and she suddenly became aware that she felt something dripping from her.

She knew it was her husband's cum that was dripping outside of her. It was after all not all of it that would impregnate her, and she had good feelings inside of her. Joy, happiness, satisfaction and pleasure.

She felt sticky and happy for the first time, in what felt like years.

Chapter 67: Nell: True Love Never Stops

She woke up to bird song outside the window, facing her sleeping beloved Anna, and a slight smile crept across her face. They had moved while sleeping, and Nell noticed that Anna's right hand was resting on her own left breast, her fingers touching her pink nipple.

They had made love that night, as the rain poured down hard outside, as lightning lid up the night. They had chosen to spend a few day´s in the tavern, as it had continually rained and made the roads unsafe and to muddy to travel.

It would only make the horses travel slower, and put them more at risk, something neither wanted to take a chance in getting into.

Nell loved Anna, who had done so many things to protect her, things that would had scared any other person away, but not Nell. She already knew so much pain, that it was surprising, even to herself of how she could keep on going.

The truth to that answer was Anna.

Anna kept her going, even though Nell felt like a wreck. It was not because she was suffering for some kind of angst, but it was because of so many things that had happened within what felt like such a short time frame.

Her parents were dead, her sister, which she lost sight of so many years ago, was dead. She had been raped by Hans's twice, had survived The Time Bandit, had escaped Arendelle unscathed, but had lost the child later, and that was what she thought about the most.

Hans was dead, killed by an unknown assassin. Derik had explained the next day, that the rumors was, that nobody had actually seen the assassin, or had witnessed the murder, so no one knew, who it was that killed Hans. He had been dead longer then the child had been.

She had never wished it dead. The child did not inherit the sins of its father, so she could not hate it. She had not looked forward to having the child either, but none of that mattered anymore. With the child dead, "The Westergaard line," the Kings of the Southern Isles, had come to an end, and Hans´s evil was no longer in the world.

Had the child lived, a part of Hans would have lived through the child, but it did not matter anymore. Nell had a feeling of being optimistic and disappointed at the same time. With the child dead, she no longer had the offspring of Hans to take care of, for Nell was not the kind of person that left a child out in a forest alone, for the wolfs to come to dinner.

That was not her style.

Now, she had a nagging feeling, as if she had not been fast enough, had not reacted differently to the problem she faced, when she was against Lucy. Nell was not the one to make bad excuses, but she never truly had believed that Lucy would punch her in the stomach.

Nell had been a pregnant woman after all!

However, that had not mattered to Lucy, and in Nell's dreams, she could still hear her screams, as Anna had tortured her for her horrendous crime.

Nell knew that there in general only were a few absolute rules, quietly accepted among most people. One of the rules were, that you did not rat out those you made deals with, hence the saying "Snitches Get Stitches." It was to remind people to be on their way and mind their own business.

It was almost universally accepted among adults, that a fight ended when one person lay down, and the most important one was: "Children were off limits."

Adults that hurt children would most likely be tortured and killed in retaliation, even comedians that had a habit of making fun of people, which was their job, would find themselves unwelcome if the jokes was against a child.

It was not all that followed that kind of rule. Children could become victims of horrendous crimes, if there were no one to look after them, and that was what had happened to Nell's child.

In her mind, she had in the beginning kept on saying, Hans´s child, but as time had gone by, she had changed that to her own child. It was a depressing feeling to have lost a child, but uplifting at the same time, because it had been Hans´s child and Nell was conflicted about those two different feelings.

This was why there only was one feeling she was truly aware of, and truly understood. That was her love for Anna, the one who had killed a living breathing snowman, killed a man with a sword, and tortured the psychotic Lucy and all of that for her.

Anna moved a bit and opened her eyes, and looked at Nell, smiling that ever-sweet smile of hers.

"Good morning love," Anna said and, moved her fingers in a circle around Nell´s nipple.

"Good morning," Nell said and felt her nipples become hard of desire for Anna.

Anna moved her fingers to her lips, and Nell found herself kissing them and licking them and sucking on them even. She loved Anna, her look, her personality, her scent and smell, the taste of her lips against hers, the eager tongue of hers and Anna´s brown eyes.

All of Anna was hers. Her body, her mind and her soul, and all of herself belonged to Anna.

Anna crawled on top of Nell, their fingers entwined with each other and Anna kissed Nell on her nipple, and moved them around with her wet tongue. Nell felt a shudder of pleasure go through her body, as Anna's lips felt around her nipples and started moaning in ecstasy as Anna sucked on them.

Anna kissed Nell on her mouth, her neck and moved down her stomach, down to the opening between her thighs, and led her tongue in between those lips, and Nell felt thousands of emotions within herself, explode inside her into ecstasy, as she moaned the name: "Anna!"

"She is mine," Nell thought to herself, as she signaled for Anna to kiss her again, which Anna happily obliged, and Nell kissed her with all the love she could put into the kiss, her spirit hungering for Anna, and Anna said, "Nell, I love you, I love you, and I love you."

Nell led her fingers down between Anna´s thighs and started rubbing her there, as she looked into Anna's eyes, drowning in those brown beautiful eyes, and saw how Anna was getting strawberry read on the cheeks, and Nell knew that a life without her would not be a life worth living.

As they both reached their climax, Anna fell on top of Nell as a ragdoll, and Nell could feel the shivers of ecstasy go through Anna´s body, and she whispered into Anna´s ears, "You are mine forever."

After that, they lay beside each other and started planning for the future.

"Anna, what is the plan what do we do now?"

"I have been thinking about it my love, and I think it would be a good idea to go to "The Kingdom of Corona." I have family waiting for me there. They will no doubt want to hear what happened to Arendelle."

"Do you plan to tell them all of it?"

"Everything?"

"Yes."

"No."

"What are you going to say?"

"I do not know, but I have been thinking about it. Elsa went towards "The Northern Kingdoms," no doubt heading for "The Black Box." I am sure she saw which way we took, but we are far, far from Arendelle. So right now, maybe we should go to Corona."

"I do not think that would be such a good idea."

"Why not my love."

Nell looked Anna in the eyes and said, "Even if we do reach "Corona," and meet the king and queen, you will not have influence with them even though you are family. They have their own daughter, and if you asked to be taken in, it may create some kind of rivalry, and the only way for that not to happen is if you tell how Arendelle was destroyed."

"And?"

"They will probably be full of questions do you not think so?"

"Well."

"Anna let us stay here, in this area, or go to some other place, but let us not go there. If they learn the truth, we could be in danger."

"I doubt we will be in danger."

"But what if we are headed towards danger then we will have a rope around our necks before we can explain all of what happened, and I do not want for us to die Anna. I do not want to watch you die. My hearth would not allow me to live if something happened to you."

Anna bent down and kissed her again, her tongue twisting around Nell´s and then she said, "I know what you are thinking, and I want you to know that I love you so much, but imagine my cousin Rapunzel believing I am dead, and started mourning for me. I do not want to see my last relatives do that, when we are still alive and healthy."

Nell let her fingers strife up and down Anna´s hair, as their lips connected again.

"Nell, when they know we are alive, we will either settle down in "Corona" or we will travel to a small town or village, someplace quiet and peaceful, but we have to see this through first."

Nell turned her back on Anna and asked, "How far are we from "Corona?"

Anna kissed Nell up and down her back and her shoulders and replied, "We ae there in a couple of days if we traveled upon the road now. Do not worry my love we are almost there."

"That is what concerns me."

"They would never harm us my love."

"Can you be absolutely sure about that?"

Anna looked her in the eye and said, "If something goes wrong, at least we will be together."

With that sentence Anna made Nell turn around, and rested her head on Nell's stomach, kissing it, and then she fell silent, with the only sound in the room coming from both of their breathing and the sound of the birds from outside the window.

Nell said, "This is what I want Anna. A room, a place, somewhere never walked by a human before, a place just for you and me, and no one else."

"We will have that my love; we are going to have all of that. However, for now, let us just enjoy each other."

With that, Anna lifted her head and Nell gazed into her brown eyes, and Anna kissed her again, and Nell responded in kind. What she wanted was Anna, no more, no less.

Anna lay beside Nell, her head resting beside hers, and Nell felt the tingling sensation of pleasure as Anna started moving her fingers around Nell´s nipples again.

Anna closed her eyes, and soon Nell heard the steady breathing from Anna, as she had fallen asleep.

Suddenly Nell realized something.

She still carried around the logbook taken from The Time Bandit, but if any other discovered it, it could mean an automatic death sentence over both Anna and herself.

They were headed for a very big city, and no matter, who they were, if they were caught with it.

No, she did not want to think about it.

She contemplated throwing it away, when Anna woke up again, and Nell moved a bit so her head was resting near Anna´s breast, where after she did the same thing to Anna. She started tickling her nipples with her tongue, sucking on them, and then went down and licked Anna´s holiest place, Anna moaning Nell's name as the light of the sun embraced them both, and they both hugged each other closely.

After that, they got up, took their clothes on, and made themselves ready for travel, as they still had a long road ahead. Saying goodbye to the innkeeper, they went outside to have their horses ready and the stable boy immediately started working.

When all four horses were ready, the innkeeper came outside, and said that she would like to buy the two extra horses.

Anna asked, how much she wanted to pay for them, and the innkeeper said she would pay two gold coins and thirty-five silver coins for them both.

Anna accepted the deal, got the money and with the two horses and the rest of their possessions Nell and Anna rode off as the day truly began.

Chapter 68: Tom: An Angel Walks In

He had never thought he was going to be happy after Tyana´s deception, but he was a man that just kept on going.

He took many drugs because of what had happened, and he often had found himself in Zanna´s lair, smoking opium to forget the incident, forget the angry accusing looks he got from children, that were not even among the living anymore.

He smoked and felt trapped in what felt like a dream. He saw young women come in alive, and leave with someone older, whom would abuse her, take her against her will, and in most cases kill her.

There was money in that, and Zanna kept on getting more and more rich, at the expense of both young girls, women and young boys alike, all of them just being sheep brought in for torture, before they got slaughtered.

Zanna was the worst. She made more money than most people did in "The Black Box," and while "The Syndicate" was disgusted with her actions, they left her alone, for the tribute she offered them was larger than most merchants intake combined.

It meant she was untouchable, as the syndicate was in a good place, where they got a lot of money each week, and that kept them from killing her. Tom was sure that if someone killed Zanna, then the syndicate would say it was a shame about the money, but not for Zanna herself.

He did know some rumors about Zanna. She was the child of a woman that had murdered someone in the city "Icilia," and as a result was to spend the rest of her life in "The Black Box." Her mother had died at childbirth, and a friendly young woman had taken her in for her own.

She fed her, gave her new clothes on, and kept her safe, from "The Sweep," but it happened one day, that Zanna lured her stepmother into a trap and sold her to men that payed good money for her, for her kind stepmother was a beautiful women.

Zanna got so much money out of that deal, so she immediately, started her business, luring young women to their doom, as Tom just stood idly buy, and smoked his opium, to keep the children's drowned faces, out of his mind.

Then she had walked in. Elsa, the woman with skin so pure and soft and white, lips made for kissing, blue eyes and long platinum blond hair, she looked like a being from a higher existence, that had fallen down to this hell, and was about to be corrupted, abused and murdered for money.

Tom saw the eyes that fell upon her as she had sat down upon the mattress, while Elsa was given something to eat and drink and finally the opium, which made her collapse on the mattress for someone to abuse her.

Tom got up from his seat, and went straight to Zanna, who saw him coming and was ready to scream for help and Tom said, "Someday Zanna, someday someone will kill you for all the abuse you bring to these women."

"Is that supposed to be you, you stupid wreck. You know very well that you are ready to go on your knees and satisfy me with your tongue if I say you can have no more of your precious opium, how would you like that?"

Tom wanted to strangle her, but then he took some coins out of his pocket more then what was usually payed for a defenseless innocent woman, and he said, "I take her from you, here is your money. She is mine and you are not to ever touch her again."

Zanna took his money and said that he had a deal, and then Tom had approached Elsa and he carried her out of there, up to his own apartment and placed her down on the bed, away from the horror that almost befell her and he felt as if he for once had done something worth doing.

Elsa had slept for a long time, when she stepped through the door, coming face to face with him. He did not know what to say to her, so the first thing that came to mind, was to try and state the obvious and see where the conversation went from there.

She had thought that he was a rapist that had payed and taken her against her will. Her voice had sounded like someone who was trying her best to not show any sign of fear, the only thing was, that he detected it, and the first thing he realized was that he had to try to calm her down again but his anger almost got the better of him.

Elsa explained that she had met Zanna that had told her that Zanna wanted to help her. Tom already knew that answer, but he wanted the words to escape her pretty lips, so he could build up his own rage towards Zanna.

"Does she not want to help them all?" he said to himself and clenched his fists.

He knew he had to try to get this woman down to earth again. Tell her how much in danger she had been in and how she could have been hurt.

Tom explained to Elsa that Zanna was only looking out for Zanna and Elsa had acted like a naïve fool for thrusting a stranger so fast, but he regretted it immediately that he had been so straight forward, when he saw the look on her face. Her eyes were wide open, and she was shaking with fear even though she did her best to try to hide it.

It was the truth though what he said to Elsa, for Zanna did have a special method in getting new girls to trust her. She would find out if they were knew by keeping an eye on any individual that had contact with the syndicate members that stood for registering new individuals in The Black Box. Then she would lure her pray back, drug them, and allow the highest bidder to have their way with them. There were no other way to say it, for it was the truth, the entire truth, and nothing but the truth.

Tom explained to Elsa how she came to his apartment. She was drugged and passed out and he had payed Zanna some money so he could get Elsa out of harm's way. He had then picked her up, carried her to his apartment, and had let her sleep until the drug was out of her system.

He did not know what her reaction was going to be, as long as this young woman understood the amount of danger she had been in, how much she had to learn not to trust everyone.

Elsa thanked him many times, but she could not pay him back for what he had done for her and he noticed that she sounded calmer, but that she was still on guard.

Tom knew all the tricks in the book when people came to The Black Box, for he had noticed that people often just wanted to be forgotten because of a crime that they may have committed. People had a habit off hiding their true names from the syndicate, but the syndicate did not care who a person was as long as they got their money.

He had asked her if her name was Sophie, and Elsa had told him that "Sophie" was her name, but already then, he knew that she was not speaking the truth to him. Years of lies and deceit within "The Black Box" had taught him how to spot a liar, and he wanted to make sure that she knew that he knew that she was lying.

He told her to calm clean with him as he could hear in her voice the uncertainty of her own answers and lies. She had looked at him and had said that her real name was Elsa.

Elsa, what a beautiful name for an angel like her. Tom realized that he had fallen for her the moment his eyes saw Elsa and he wanted her in that instance, but that was just a fools dream. He did not own her and did not want to hurt her.

He introduced himself as Tom and asked her if she had eaten the bread and she had and Elsa told him that she did not know how to repay him. Tom had his mind set on many things she could do, but he kept them to himself. It would not be knightly of him to say what he really wanted to do with her. How he desired to put his own lips to hers and make love to her.

He decided to show Elsa his workplace for Tom had spent a lot of money on helping her, and he had to work extra hard to recover that money, and for that he needed an assistant. He bought a loaf of bread, and gave it to Elsa, who ate it and Tom could not stop thinking about the fact that all of the things she was experiencing, was new and unknown territory for her.

He explained to her that her eyes would get used to the dark. People was born and lived in darkness, and the more they spent in darkness, the more there eyes would be better to see in the dark. He himself had spent many years in "The Black Box," working as a blacksmith for the syndicate, and there had only been one time were he had looked outside near the entrance to "The Black Box." At that point, he promised himself that he was never going to near the entrance again as the light was blinding to his eyes, and as he could hear the bird's song, coming from the outside, he missed the outside world so terribly. This was why he stayed in the dark, with so many other people.

It did not take long before they both arrived at Tom's workplace and as Tom opened the doors, he explained to Elsa that he was a blacksmith and had been that for most of his life and as he started working, he thought about what he had said.

It was true that he had spent many years as a blacksmith, but that was before Sir Uther had knighted him, for beating up a man, who had tried to rape a young woman. Sir Uther had been old back then, and he had been the one who wanted the honor to knight him. Something he was sure Sir Uther regretted until his death, if he had seen the betrayal at sea. It had not been Tom´s fault, but no matter what he said to himself, it was he, that had given that order and he was paying the price for that order every single day.

Maybe that was why he wanted to encounter Elsa? Because that he thought helping others, would in some way, wash away his dark past. Was that what he truly thought?

He had started working on a sword for the syndicate, and as he was about to cool it in the stinking water, Elsa had grabbed his arm and told him to show her the sword and he had complied with that and held it in front of her. Elsa blew on the sword with ice-cold air from her mouth, cooling down the metal, allowing Tom to continue to work on it.

Tom was about to freak out when that happened. He was dreaming, no one could do sorcery like that, could they? Was Elsa an evil witch, which had sought out "The Black Box," because she ate babies for breakfast?

Elsa asked him not to freak out, even though that was what he really wanted to do and he had asked her about her powers and for how long she had been doing that kind of magic. Elsa explained that she was born with that gift and she could help Tom with his forging with her powers, so she could pay her debt to him.

Now, they were at least getting somewhere together he realized. Even though Elsa seemed to possess some magic power, he was not going to spill her secret to anyone. She wanted to work all her debt off, but the word "Work" made him think of something else.

Elsa was new in a dangerous place and he realized that her name was probably not on the syndicate´s life list. He had an offer he wanted to make her, that was selfish, but did make a lot of sense too.

Tom then said to her that she could marry him and he had expected Elsa to be shocked over the suggestion of his, but he could see no other alternative to keep her safe. Elsa was not on the syndicate´s life list, so she was expendable. Her hands were soft, so she had never held a hard job before and her strange ability was probably the reason she was in The Black Box to start with.

By the look on her face, he knew that he had hit the jackpot and he had continued to explain to her that if they were married her name would be written on the life list and her powers could help making his easier, which would lead to more money. Her debt would be cancelled, as they would be husband and wife. They would have a greater chance to survive in this place.

He could see that Elsa was thinking like a mad man, but she asked him what he was expecting of her, and here he told her that if they were to be married they were to do the things married people did, loving each other and be there for each other and having sex with each other.

He did not hold his breath for Elsa could make her own decisions. His suggestion of marriage was just that, a suggestion with many benefits, but she did not need to take him up on his offer and he was not going to be mad or disappointed if she said no.

He asked her what her answer was going to be, she had said yes to him, and he felt the lion within him going around triumphantly. He was to be married to her, but he also knew that he did not want this marriage to be one of falsehoods. He liked her, and he wanted in time to know her story, and maybe if they trusted each other enough he would tell her his own story.

They were going to work together side by side, and in the end, he wanted more than just that. He had said he wanted to sleep with Elsa, but he did not want her to do that out of some kind of sense of duty. He wanted her to look at him, as if he belonged to her, he wanted her to love him first.

Days went by and Elsa was working hard alongside Tom to create amour and swords, and cooling down the swords faster by blowing cold air on them, using her abilities for something productive. The jobs they got was professional done and were done fast so even the syndicate took true notice of them both and decided that Tom should be their new weapons master, and as a result, Elsa and Tom was starting to make some serious money.

Tom told the syndicate that he and Elsa wanted to be married, which came as no surprise to them, for it had not gone unnoticed, that Tom and Elsa had become a couple and were working effectively with each other.

It had made some people wonder, how Tom was capable in producing great weapons with little effort and without ever going for fresh water, which would take time to transport.

Tom had been aware that people had started to ask questions about that and as a result, he constructed a little room build out of cheap scrap metal, in which Elsa would take the glowing hot sword and then use her ice cold breath to cool it down a bit. All of that she could do without prying eyes upon her, so others could not see what strange and dangerous abilities she seemed to have.

Some people came to them if they needed something made or came to them just to greet them and be acquainted with Elsa, who after all was a new woman in "The Back Box," and some were working for the syndicate and was very talkative and wanted to see, who this beautiful blond woman was.

Tom and Elsa agreed that Elsa was not to show her powers to anyone else, and that was to keep them both safe. Elsa explained to him that if she was not allowed to use her abilities, her powers could almost explode out of her, so Tom told her she could only use them at work and at home, in their own apartment, but nowhere else was she allowed to use her powers.

This was not an order he gave her. It was just common sense. Some people would be seeing Elsa as a witch if they ever discovered her powers and that could be very dangerous to them both. Many saw magic as a source of evil, and everybody knew that the best way of stopping evil was to burn it away.

Something Elsa was sure she could avoid with her powers, but she could not avoid a thousand arrows, and swords coming for her, so she kept a low profile with her powers as a result.

Everything else had gone easy, from the day Tom and Elsa paired up. They had been working long hours each day, as there was no such thing as a weekend in "The Black Box." Tom knew that it was hard work for Elsa to help him out with his work.

He started to teach her a bit more on how to make different things, how to bent metal, strengthen it, make it sharp, decorate it even, and he could see that Elsa´s hands hurt. He knew that this was not the kind of job; she had done before she came to "The Black Box," but Elsa did not complain.

They had been making swords and amour that moment the representative had arrived, and told them, to come with him so they could sign the papers, that officially brought them together. Once they were signed, they would be husband and wife.

He knew what would happen after the papers were signed. The syndicate would make contact with King Magnus and tell him, that there was a new married couple within The Black Box, in this way Magnus would always know, who was who within it.

The wedding was one glazed in darkness, and a few written line upon a document, that the representative from "The Syndicate" had brought with him, and they were married. Tom was glad to be married to Elsa, but he also knew, that she married him because she would be out of danger when "The Sweep" happened, and he wanted to do his best to make sure that Elsa had a good day.

He had done his best to look as presentable as possible and as the letters was signed, he could not wait to show his surprise to Elsa. As they both entered their apartment, after a long and hard day of work, and the signing of the marriage papers, Elsa went straight to a bucket of cold water placed in her room, while Tom went to his bucket of water and washed his face.

He dipped a towel in the bucket of water and washed his body with it, as he became more and more excited to show Elsa what he had got for her. He took two clean plates and put them on the table, alongside the fresh loaf of bread, butter and cheese, which he had bought earlier that day, while Elsa was still asleep, and placed it all on the table.

Then he got the candles, which had cost a small fortune and placed them on the table as well, took some matches and lighted the candles, which burned with a sweet smell. Then he waited on her to be ready. It took some time and he wondered if he should knock on her door and ask her to come and join him, for the dinner he had prepared for them.

Getting "Items of Pleasure" was not exactly and easy task and he only wanted her to feel some happiness about their marriage. Then he opened a drawer and took a little golden neckless out from it. It would look find on Elsa´s neck. He had bought it from a merchant and it had cost him a lot, but it was their wedding, and he wanted to treat her to the best time he could.

He saw the eyes in the mirror, and the water that poured out of the opened mouths of the children. They were lifting their arms against him as to try to get him, but he had to ignore it. The past was still close to him, but it was not to interfere with his wedding. He closed his eyes, until Elsa was ready to come and join him.

The door opened and Elsa stepped outside dressed in a brown shirt and black pants and white socks, and when she saw the table with the living candles, her eyes went wide open. Tom went over two her, lay his hands upon her waist, and said to her that he had a gift for her and he hoped that she would like it.

He held the little necklace in his hands and he asked Elsa to turn around, so he could put the necklace on her, as he told her that he knew it was not the said: "I know that wasn't the ideal wedding, but he had a gift for her. A necklace made out of pure silver and the heart shape at the end of it, was made of solid gold.

Tom then showed her the table he had prepared for them both and said that since it was their wedding, he would do something special for Elsa. He could see it in her eyes and not just the smile that appeared on her lips, he knew she loved it, and he had done something right.

He went over to the cupboard, took a vase with fresh flowers out of it and placed it on the table, and then he took a little red rose, went over to Elsa and placed it in her hair above her ear.

To his surprise Elsa stood up on her toes and kissed him with her eyes closed and Tom placed his arms around her and pulled her slowly towards his own body as Elsa kissed him passionately, and Tom knew he had hit the jackpot.

She had thanked him for making this wedding so special and had kissed him again, where after she placed her arms around his neck and pulled his head down towards her waiting lips. As they kissed, Tom knew that he would have to be open with her.

He never wanted to tell her about the betrayal. If he did, it would ruin everything they had with each other, something he did not want to lose: Her love!

They sat down at the table and started eating the fresh bread, butter and cheese, it tasted so good, and as they were eating, Elsa looked at Tom and hinted that it was time he carried her of to bed.

She did not have to tell him about that twice and he picked her up in his arms and carried her over to her bed, and as she was put down on her back, he was on top of her, kissing her with slow passionate kisses. Their tongues playing with each other, her arms around his neck, in an embrace of love.

Everything was going great, until Elsa stopped and saw the scar on his body.

It was not a scar he could hide, Tom felt nervous, and he looked at Elsa and said, "This scar I got a long time ago, it does not hurt me. Does it repulse you?"

She sat up on her legs, and licked the scar with her tongue from his hip and upwards and said, "Does that answer your question?"

He kissed her again and loved her. He did not just love her for the way she looked, but he loved her for the way she was. He saw that she was in some other place in her mind and asked her if something was wrong. Elsa told him she though that she was going to die alone surrounded by false friends and Tom told her that it was not going to happen and he loved her.

Tom lifted up in Elsa´s clean clothes, and soon she sat naked beside him, all of her exposed to him, his gaze running up and down her body, gazing at her stunning beauty. He kissed her again softly and kissed her breast and nipples, kissed her with all his passion put into it. Tom took his pants off exposing his erect manhood, and gently he pushed her down on the bed, kissing her lips, and when it touched her down there a shock was sent though her body and Tom asked her if this was her first time. She told him it was and he would be careful and she was to feel it.

He went down to her opening between her thighs, and started licking her there, as he felt like yelling in triumph of having her for himself and Elsa moaned: "Yes, right there, just there."

Tom got up and entered her, Elsa forced his head down towards her and kissed him, and he told her about how her maidenhead has been broken and it would become easier after that, and more pleasurable.

Elsa nodded and moaned out his name. Tom kissed her everywhere, her lips her nipples, sniffed in her scent, and Elsa placed her hands around his waist, lifted her legs, and put them around his waist so they encircled him, as she moaned: "Yes. Yes, right there. I am yours.

Tom had become slightly redder across his face, as their movements became more intense, Tom said, "I am almost there."

Tom became aware of her facial expression, and he suddenly thought, that they had not planned anything further, and he asked, "What do I do?"

Elsa said, "Pull out."

Tom looked at her, but he pulled out and as he was about to finish off on her stomach, she grabbed hold of his hand and let it away from his manhood. She led both of his hands over to her breasts and made him play with them, as she pushed him down on the bed and she was on top of him.

Elsa asked him if they wanted a child and he wanted a child with her. A child to hold in his arms, and he wanted to raise it with her and he responded, "We are a married couple, my love, and I would like to start a family with you. Do you not want the same thing?"

Elsa led his dick inside her as she sat there on top of him, and then she humped him, and he felt how wet she was. She was shivering as sweat ran down from her body as she moaned with pleasure, Tom´s hands was feeling up and down her body, touching her legs, and grabbed her buttocks, squeezed them as Elsa moaned out in pleasure. The golden heart hanging between them both.

Elsa said, "Cum in me my love, cum in me!"

He could not last any longer and ejaculated inside of her, giving her all he had, as she fell on top of him, and he felt her body shiver as she had reached her climax. Tom closed his eyes, and fell asleep, until wet lips kissed him upon his lips and he woke up again.

He asked, "How was it my love?"

"It hurt at first, but it was perfect!"

"I am glad you liked it."

"I am glad and I am in love with you."

"Love you too Elsa."

Elsa placed her head on his chest and he ran his fingers up and down through her hair, as they rested. He could see she was happy and in a good mood, and they both fell asleep.

His dream was filled with pain and sorrow, as he saw Elsa chained up as Zanna hurt her. Zanna kicked Elsa in the stomach and Elsa screamed out in pain, and he saw many men come towards Elsa with money ready for Zanna.

Tom awoke from the nightmare, and felt Elsa´s body against his. She was sleeping with a smile on her lips. She was sleeping beside him, and Tom slowly got up from the bed, took his clothes on, and went into the kitchen.

He opened a drawer, and grabbed the lock pick within it alongside a sword and a knife, that stood up against the wall. He went outside, the apartment and down the quiet street, and went down the stairs until he arrived at Zanna´s lair.

The place was closed for a few hours, and Tom picked the lock on the door and went inside. He saw Zanna sleeping on a mattress, and saw a red pillow formed as a heart placed near him. He took the pillow, approached Zanna, and pressed it down on her face, as he got on top of her.

Zanna tried to say something as she tried to fight him off, her eyes wide open. Tom saw the mirror near the wall, and saw the drowned children watch his new crime. He did not want to look at them, and so he forced himself to look down on struggling old Zanna then he whispered, "You will never touch her again; I will make sure of that."

The light left her eyes and Tom got up and hurried away, and went up to the apartment again. He took everything off and when over to the bed, in which Elsa was fast asleep. He lay down beside her and touched her shoulder and Elsa awoke.

She turned around, smiled and kissed him, as his hands went up and down her body and Elsa asked, "Is something wrong?"

"No, I just wanted to kiss you again."

Elsa kissed him, a slow passionate kiss, and he asked her, "Do you truly love me Elsa?"

She smiled at him and said, "Yes, you belong to me, and I belong to you."

Then she kissed him again, closed her eyes, and fell asleep, and Tom slept soon afterwards, with his arms around her.

Chapter 69: Elsa: All The Sins Confessed

She woke up, and did not know what time it was. It was always dark in "The Black Box," but she could not escape the feeling, that she and Tom had been sleeping more than usual.

She was happy about that. Tom was her husband, her love, and a good man. Better then Elsa could ever hope getting married to. He was sleeping and Elsa got up and saw the scar starting at his hip, and without thinking about it, she kissed it, and Tom awoke from his stumper.

Elsa kissed him on his lips, and said, "I am sorry to wake you, but I just felt like kissing you some more."

Tom smiled as he caressed her cheek, sat himself up and kissed her. Elsa wanted that, and she saw that he´s manhood had become erect.

Elsa got on top of him, led his dick inside of her, and she started riding his dick, as Tom´s hands found themselves traveling up and down her slim figure, and Elsa felt fulfilled and invincible, filled with love for Tom, who had protected her, and given himself to her, as Elsa gave herself to him.

Tom got that facial expression that said he had reached his climax, and Elsa felt something sticky inside of her, as he got out of her, and she rested on top of him again.

"What a way to start the day right?" she giggled and ran her fingers up and down his stomach.

"It was certainly a good awakening," he smiled as he turned and kissed her again.

Elsa asked, "What time is it?"

"It is morning."

"How do you know?"

"When you have lived in "The Black Box" as long as I have, you get used to your inner clock telling you what time it is. It does not take long, before you also sleep until we have to get up."

"I do not even want to get up my love, I just want for you and me to stay in here for the rest of our lives."

"It is a sweet thought, but we do need money for all of that, besides the syndicate is expecting to get its weapons made or sharpened."

"I know I know," Elsa said with a sigh, bent down and kissed him again.

She wanted to ask him about the scar, but she was not sure that it was a good idea, so she kept quiet with it. She felt something sticky on her thighs, which reminded her that she had to wash her lady parts, when Tom had left the room.

There were many questions; she wanted to ask him.

Questions like, where he was from and what drove him to come to "The Black Box" in the first place. Which contacts did he have within the giant structure, which she should know about as well?

She wanted to know it all, but was too nervous to ask. What would happen if Tom got angry with her if she asked him? What would happen if he said he did not want to be married to her anymore? What would happen if he hit her?

So many questions, and she was afraid to ask them.

Tom said, "I know you are thinking about that scar of mine."

Elsa did not respond.

"I will tell you everything about that scar, when you are ready to tell me, why you ended up in "The Black Box."

"Everything?"

"Everything."

"I would like for you to tell me it, but I am not ready to tell my story yet."

"When you are ready to tell it, then just say so."

"That is the problem, I am afraid to tell you my story, if I told you mine, you would divorce me just as soon as you heard it."

"It is your powers right? It have something to do with them."

Elsa did not respond.

"Something must have happened when you used them, something that must have hurt people."

Elsa turned her back against him; she did not want to look him in the eyes.

"I have also hurt people Elsa. I have hurt many people. I was a knight until I did something so terrible that they took my knighthood from me."

Elsa thought about that time, were she had imagined herself be married to a white knight, and she found that to be a weird coincidence, that she was in fact married to one, or a former one anyway.

Tom continued, "You did something terrible, and I am sure it was not your fault. Not in its entirety. What I did was not my fault either, as what I did was based on false information given to me. Now, you know that, so when you are ready to tell your tale, just say so, and I will tell you mine."

Elsa thought that it sounded like a good and fair deal, but she was still to unsure of the whole thing. She felt Tom's arms encircling her, his soft kisses on her neck, Elsa´s fingers found their way in between his, and she led them up to her mouth and kissed them.

She wanted to make sure, that he understood that she loved him.

"Come my love. It is time to get up," Tom said, got up and left the room.

Elsa could still feel his semen between her thighs, so she went over to the water bucket and washed herself down there, then she took the brown sack over her head and body then she joined Tom in the kitchen.

He had already prepared the bred with butter and cheese for them both, and Elsa sat down and started to eat her food, while her thoughts were circling around the things he had said.

They both had secrets, and it was normal that couples shared details about their lives to each other, but how was she to explain about all the things that had happened to her? How was she to explain all the things, and still be able to look him in the eyes?

So many questions, but she knew that their secrets were barriers in their relationship, and she knew that they would never truly trust each other, if the secrets remained unsaid.

All of it was suddenly too much for Elsa and she started crying, so her entire body was shaking and Tom went over to her and hugged her tightly in towards his own body. He kissed her neck and ran his fingers through her hair, and then Elsa started to confess it all.

She told him about the magical abilities she had been born with and how she was a queen, how she hit her sister with her magical power, the trolls that had warned her never to use them, the many years spent isolated from her sister.

Tom moved his chair over to her, sat in front of her, and asked, "Did you ever find out what caused these powers in the first place?"

"No, I did not and I have spent so many nights being awake feeling alone."

"Did you always feel like that?"

"Yes, but I could not reveal it to anyone, that I had powers that was beyond my control."

She told Tom about her coronation day, her anger that had revealed her powers, how she had escaped up the mountain and had created an ice castle and two snowmen, how Hans had been given control of Arendelle and had tried to kill her when he met up with her.

"Why did he try to do such a thing?" Tom asked her.

"Hans was the youngest of thirteen brothers. He had always been destined not to inherit anything. When he arrived in Arendelle he saw a chance to take the throne, by murdering us, my sister and me."

She told him, how she was locked up in a cell, while her sister was dying because of the magic, which she by accident unleashed towards her, how Hans had tried to kill her, but Anna had come in between and died as a result. How her act of true love had been what saved her in the end, and how Hans had been arrested for his treason.

"Your sister seems like a nice person," Tom said, and kissed Elsa´s hands.

"There is more to the story."

Tom looked at her, took her hands in his and their fingers entwined, and then he asked to hear the rest of the story.

She told the rest of it.

How she had dreams, in which Hans raped her, how a voice had been calling out to her, and said she was like a key for something that was beyond her understanding, how Hans had been sent back to the Southern Isles, how the Sultan of Tehomia had ordered a gigantic ice order.

Tom asked, "Why did he want all that ice? It does not make much sense."

"It was rumored that the Sultan had gone insane after some rumors that black magic, had taken the life of his youngest son."

"I see."

She told him how she had learned that two people were dead because of her powers. She told him about Nell, who was a rape victim of Hans, and how Nell had grown up within the castle of the Southern Isles while Nell's sister had disappeared. How she managed to escape the castle. How Hans had been taken into custody, how Elsa had been given help by a stranger called Tamas, which made a fine Elixir for her so she could dream a dreamless sleep.

Tom asked, "Did his drink´s work?"

"They did for a while, but sometimes I could hear the voice in my mind. I know it sounds crazy, and I started to think that the voice may have been a side effect of my powers, but I was never sure."

She told him how Hans had massacred his own family, the hard work she had responding to letters from people that wanted something from her or threatened her. Elsa told him about how Nell escaped a burning inn, how her sister had been acting strangely, in presence of Olaf the snowman.

Tom asked, "What do you mean that she was acting strangely?"

"My sister and I was so happy to be together again. That we were able to open up to one another again. Anna had been yelling at me. It was odd, she went from zero to one hundred in the span of a few minutes, and that was weird."

Elsa told him how Hans assaulted Nell and how she had escaped on board a ship known as "The Time Bandit," and how she escaped that very same ship, doing a dangerous storm that had cost everyman working on it their lives. How Nell had met up with Kristoff, came to the castle, and told her about Hans's takeover of the Southern Isles and the death of Gerda, and how Hans began preparing his war ships for all-out war with Arendelle.

At this point Elsa became silent once again, as Tom gave her some water from a canteen, which consisted of water that was clean and could be drunk.

She told him how she had sent her spies out to find those who were planning treacherous things and how she had one of them hanged as a result. How Anna and Nell had conspired against her, by keeping Hans´s and Nell's baby a secret, how Anna had murdered Olaf because of their conspiracy.

Tom asked, "Why did they do such treacherous things?"

"Because Anna did not want me to know about it. I never wanted to hurt the child and I prayed every day, that something like that would not be necessary, if I ever got my hands on it. As a queen, I had to do whatever was necessary to protect my own people."

She told him how Tamas had left for Tehomia, and she had become so grief stricken that she lost control of her powers. How Anna and Nell managed to escape, alongside two people named Kevin and Isa, how the icicles had appeared from everywhere and had killed everybody around her. How the villagers had come for her and she had to kill them all in self-defense. How she set fire to her ancestral home and discovered that the entire city of Arendelle had been destroyed, how she found a ship that took her from Arendelle to "The Northern Kingdom," and how she had gone straight for "The Black Box."

The rest was self-explanatory.

That was all. She had told him everything, as she took a sip of water. Now, she awaited his judgement. What he was going to say. It was the last part of her story that concerned her the most.

How she had lost control of her powers, how she had killed so many, all of that was of grand concern to her and she did not know what to expect now.

Tom got up from his chair, looked down on Elsa, and signaled with his hands for her to stand up. She did and before she knew it, his arms was around her again, and he kissed her on her lips.

"I am sorry to know that this happened to you Elsa."

She felt relief, as she had opened up and had found comfort in her husband's arms, and then she said, "Now, it is your turn to tell your story."

Before he could answer, there was a knock on the door.

Tom asked, "Who is it?"

"I am a member of the syndicate.

"Come in then."

The female that stood in the door opening, had the same uniform on, as the rest of the syndicate, she had blood red hair, bound up in two pigtails, she had blue eyes, and she asked, "Tom, I presume?"

"Yes."

"The leader of the syndicate have some urgent business with you!"

"What does the leader want?"

"Something about weapons to the new king of "Icilia." Ever since King Magnus passing, there has been many rotations when it comes to people in power."

Elsa could hardly believe it, and struggled not to interrupt. Magnus was dead. He had not even been an old man.

Tom asked, "The king is dead?"

"That I just said, right?"

Elsa asked, "What happened?"

"There has been a coup in "Icilia." The old bloodline of Queen Mia had been reinstated on the throne."

Elsa responded: "Forgive me for asking, but I thought Magnus was of Mia´s blood."

The red haired woman said: "No, he was not. There was the time of the civil war were a descendent, I cannot remember his name, was assassinated. It was rumored that it was his own brother that had arranged his own brother´s killing, and that brother had allied himself with some kind of warlock. A story goes that The Warlock killed the brother; he was allied with, and was defeated by someone, who later became king. Now it is another that has taken the throne, and that one is linked to Queen Mia through blood."

Tom asked her, "Is there anything else going on in the world outside "The Black Box."

"We have learned that Hans, King of the Southern Isles has been found murdered. An assassin slit his throat open."

"Conceal don't feel," Elsa thought, as the news washed over her.

Hans was dead.

Finally, it seemed like there was some kind of justice going on. She felt like she was in the best dream she had ever had, and she was so happy she could have kissed the syndicate member right there.

"Now, you are expected to meet up on the twenty-fifth floor Tom, do not be late."

"I will not be late."

"Good."

The representative was on her way out when, she turned around and asked, "You have not seen anything suspicious lately?"

Tom and Elsa both replied, "No, why do you ask?"

"Zanna was found dead in her brothel a few hours ago. Her death is suspicious, so there is a true killer stalking our streets!"

"We have not seen anything."

"Okay then, I will be off again," and gone she was.

Elsa was ready to scream out in joy, Hans and Zanna was dead!

She ran over to Tom, hugged him tightly, and said, "Well, I guess there are some justice after all."

"Those who touch you will always be brought to justice," he said, and kissed Elsa on her lips and left the apartment, to meet up with the syndicate leader.

Elsa was left wondering what he meant by that, and when it hit her she realized, she had not got to hear his story yet, and she was married to a hardcore killer.

Chapter 70: Tom: The Faces Of The Syndicate

"The Syndicate" had its main office on the twenty-fifth floor of the building. It was not so much of an office, but it looked more like a room for a board of directors.

When Tom entered through the door, he found himself facing not just the leader of the syndicate, but also the top three other members of it.

The leader was a little man with a mustache and little sausage fingers. He was smoking a cigar as his empty grey eyes rested upon Tom and Tom new immediately, that whatever happened he had to remain calm. This was the core of the rotten syndicate within "The Black Box," these leaches who prayed on innocent people, and guilty as well.

They had been supplying Tom with the metal he needed to continue his work, so he had to be respectful, or he would be found dead in a fish basket, sleeping with the fishes.

For the first time in his life in "The Black Box," he was seeing who was leading the syndicate, its top members and enforcers, and he knew all of their stories.

The leader with the grey empty eyes was named Aldo. A man no one really saw often, as he made other people do his bidding. A rumor was that he had killed many people in a foreign war many years ago, but there were so many rumors that no one knew for sure, why he had found his way into "The Black Box." A rumor about him had been, that he had abducted a pregnant princess, and when her father, a King, had refused to pay her ransom, but had actively sought him out with an army behind him, Aldo had raped the princess. He had continued to cut her open just enough so she was still alive to see her child be pulled out of her and murdered it in front of her eyes.

After that, he had strangulated her with his bare hands, then he had taunted the King about his evil deeds, and then he had sought out "The Black Box." His skill of violence and intimidation gave him what he wanted, and soon he found himself as the leader of the syndicate, when its last leader, went missing and was never seen again.

On his right side sat a man named Dominic, who was the second in command of the syndicate, and an evil man, if there had ever been one. His short black hair matched his dead eyes. His violent temper had become legendary in "The Black Box." A story went that a man had owed Aldo a lot of money, and when the man refused to pay, as he felt cheated, Aldo had sent Dominic to take care of business.

Dominic had sought out the man with another, and had led him over to an empty room. The man said he did not have the money, but Dominic told him, that he was not after the money. What he was after was the man´s life.

Dominic made the man kneel before him, as Dominic rolled a wire around his hands, getting ready to strangle the man. The man had pleaded for the gods to come and help him, and Dominic had smiled and laughed, and had said, that the man could change the outcome of the situation, if the gods he pleaded with, would come and rescue him. Dominic gave him thirty minutes to cry and plead for his life, to pray to his gods to come and rescue him, but the situation and outcome did not change.

When the thirty minutes had come and gone, Dominick wrapped the wire around the man's neck and strangled him to death, as he still cried and pleaded out.

That story had made many fear Dominick as he was a hardcore murderer, and extremely sick in the head.

Many in the room was sick up there.

Tom saw the woman known as Leslie, also known as "The Breaker," for her interesting way to kill people on, and he knew her story well.

As a child, she had been living in the city "Icilia," with her mother, but she had neither a good nor a pleasant childhood.

Her mother had been a drug addict, who had sold her own daughter´s body out to elder men and women alike for money, so she could buy enough drugs for her own use and abuse.

Leslie had gone through hell on earth, and the women who abused her said, "Do not fight it little one, you are a woman as well enjoy it."

They helped their men perform inside of her by leading them into her, and held her pussy wide open for them, as they played with Leslies small breasts, and held her mouth open and kissed her and sucked her little wet tongue.

The men did not want to leave any evidence, so they came on her stomach, on her face or made her suck their cocks clean until there was nothing more in them, then they had said, thanks for the fun and had gone away.

Leslie was broken, but something happened within her mind, that was not something anyone had expected. Instead of being afraid and broken her mind slowly healed, but her mind was one of a sociopath, one who knew right from wrong, but did all the wrong choices anyway, because she thought that it was fun.

The women had said she was to enjoy it, having someone pumping in her between her thighs, and she decided to train herself. She wanted to kill all those who tried to have sex with her, and she trained her legs, which she trained to become a regular deathtrap.

It happened one day, some years later, that one of the men that had raped her as a child saw her going down a street and decided to follow her. Leslie knew she was being followed, stopped up, allowing him to come closer to her. She did not know why she did this but she wanted to confront him and when she turned a corner so there were no one else who could see them, he knocked her out.

Leslie had regained consciousness inside his home in a drugged state of mind. He was planning to kill her to make sure she did not spill his and other people's secret of what they had done with her, and as he took his clothes of and lay down in between her legs, he started fucking her, as she lay and came to herself.

The voices in her mind reminded her to enjoy it, voices that was never silent in her life.

Every time she thought about killing someone or having sex, the voices said, "Enjoy it!"

As the man was pumping between her legs, she started moaning out in pleasure, as the man said, "Ah, I knew you always liked it bitch, I am going to have all of my friends come over here. They were also enjoying having you. All six of us enjoyed it."

As he was getting near to his climax, she asked, "What is their names?"

"Henry, Susan, Sarah, Adolf, Jessica, and then there is me, and you do not need to know my name."

"No, I do not need to know it, for I know you were one of them anyway."

He had not noticed that her legs went up and down his body, and had encircled him like a cobra, encircling him as if he was pray.

He did not feel it at first as she slowly started squeezing him, with her legs. They had him fooled, for she had only trained them just enough so the muscles within them did not show up on them, and she was squeezing him harder.

She placed her hands on top of his chest and forced him backwards as she squeezed ever tighter, and he found himself out of breath. His manhood became small and insignificant, as he had come to the realization that she was killing him in that leg lock of hers, and she did not show any sign of stopping it.

She was moaning loud now, asking him, "Do you enjoy it now?"

He could not speak afraid to waist his breath, and then she squeezed him so hard that he passed out on top of her.

She kept on squeezing until she could feel that his pulse had left him.

Then she hunted the rest.

Henry was found dead with a knife through his throat. Susan´s body was never recovered but rumors was that Leslie had her drowned, and led the river take her body. Sarah was cut open with a knife from her vagina, up through her stomach, and her throat was slashed. Adolf was wacked over the head with a rock, and then strangled between her thighs, as she moaned out in pleasure. Jessica´s body was found mutilated in the open street, but at that time it was discovered, Leslie had already killed her mother by snapping her neck, and had then chosen to go to "The Black Box," and she had not looked over her shoulder one time.

Soon, she joined Aldo´s group in the syndicate.

The fourth and final person in the room was a man known as Edger, a man that was said to be a pedophile, but no evidence had ever convicted him of any wrongdoing. Not even in "The Black Box." Some people had claimed to see him go into a dark room with a little girl that was seven years of age, and he had been the only one to leave the room again.

What happened to the girl was unknown, for she had not been found in the room he had left, so some people suspected, that there was a secret entrance to a corridor somewhere in it, but it was unknown were it was.

Aldo was the leader of the syndicate, the three others were its top members and enforcers, and each of them had control of a rather large army each, and all of them following Aldo´s orders.

Then Aldo spoke, "Ah, finally you grace us with you presence."

Tom responded, "I just got the message, that you were expecting me so here I am."

The grey eyes followed his every move.

"Do you think you are in trouble Tom?"

"No, that is not what I think."

"You are right about that. I hear you have taken a new woman for a wife."

"Yes."

"What is her name?"

"Her name is Elsa."

"What a nice name, she have that one. I cannot help but notice that ever since you and Elsa made a couple, the production of your work has sped up considerably."

"We try our best."

Leslie said, "We are rather interested in this newcomer, which has become your wife. We would like to know a little bit about her."

"If you think I am just going to."

"That is exactly what you will be doing. You will answer our questions, about yourself, your wife and your work. Are we clear on that?"

Tom responded with difficulty, "Yes."

Aldo said, "Good, to see there still is a smart head sitting on your shoulders, how long that last however is up to you, for if you think that you are to play smart, your head get chopped off, do you understand?"

"Yes."

"Good, now how is the order coming along?"

"We are almost finished with it all."

"Have there been any complaints?"

"None."

"Good, then we can expect that the last weapons to our final recruits are nearing completion?"

"Yes."

"What about this young lady of yours, that bitch you are fucking, where is that cunt from."

Tom knew that Aldo was trying to test him. He would have killed all of them right then, but the bait was to try to see where his loyalty lay. If he passed, Aldo would not be using such terms about his wife. It was all just bait.

However, what was he to say? Was he to try to lie, to all four of them, or was he to tell her story?

He did not want either to happen.

Tom said, "If you want to know anything about her ask her yourself!"

Dominic got up from his seat and said, "Maybe we should."

"You keep your hands of her!"

Dominic hit like a professional boxer and Tom found himself laying on the ground.

"Do you think we will not kill you, because you work for us? Have some respect, as it is we, whom supplies you with metal!"

Tom got up from the floor and wiped the blood away from his broken nose, which hurt like hell, and said, "Ask your questions about my work and I will take my leave."

Aldo said, "You are not going anywhere until I say you are!"

Tom found himself on the floor again, with his face hurting, and knew he was going to get a black eye.

Aldo got up from his seat, walked towards him and said, "You dare disrespect me?"

"I do not, but I am not going to spill info about my wife."

"You will spill whatever we tell you to spill, but because you do not want to answer us, I think a public punishment is in order. I need you to finish those weapons for us."

Tom realized that he and Elsa was dead, when the final weapons were made. There was no way in hell that the syndicate was going to allow them to live on since he had shown defiance to them.

He said, "You kill us both, when I am done with the weapons anyway."

Aldo responded, "No that is not what I am going to do, I am going to stop supplying you with metal, so you cannot make a living, so you and the cunt wife you have, can die of starvation."

Leslie got up from her chair, went over to Aldo and whispered something into his ear and Aldo started laughing, turned to Tom and said, "You disrespect me son, and I take that as an insult. This is what you are going to do. You are to go down to your wife and tell her that we asked questions about her to you and you refused to talk. Tell her that we will stop your supply of weapons so you both can die from starvation. Tell her that there is one way only for this to not be both your fates."

Tom said, "What is that way?"

"You will tell your pretty wife to meet up here on the twenty-fifth floor, so she can answer some questions."

"I will."

"But there is a catch."

Tom was afraid for his wife and asked, "What is the catch?"

"She is to come to us, without anything on her body."

All four of them was laughing.

Aldo continued, "She is not to have any hair on top of her head either, all of that is to be shaved of, and she is to come as naked as the day she came out of her mother's womb. If she does this, we might just let you both live, heck if you refuse, I rape your wife until she dies of it and I will skin you alive personally. So what is it going to be, her coming up to us shaved bold and naked, or both of you dead, what will it be?"
