Chapter six: Memories
"Ah, hot springs, hot springs!"
Hannah walked with Gerda and Stella and Luna, few other co-workers, to the hot springs. She happened to know the man who owned the spring. He was one of her clients for a few years.
And when they walked into the shop the man turned around to greet them. He had blond hair and eyes and a small beard.
"Jorgen!" Hannah held her hand up. "We are here for the springs!"
"The springs? Oh, you mean the hot springs. Sorry, today we're closed."
All the girls gasped. Hannah looked confused at the man.
"Closed? Why?"
"We don't have enough visitors, sweetheart."
"So? We are here..."
The man sighed and turned his back on her. "Come another day, girls. It's closed."
Gerda looked Hannah. "Hannah...you know that we need the hot springs. We need to relax for once."
"I know, I know..." Hannah walked toward Jorgen. She put a hand onto his shoulder and stood up on her toes. She leaned closer to his ear and whispered: "If you let us in, I can make it you worth a while."
"W-what?!" The man turned around with a surprised look. The girls behind Hannah all giggled.
Hannah cocked her head and looked at him with a sweet smile. "Yes...if you let us in, then I will let you in this week..."
Ugh. She hated to do this. But she really needed some relaxation. And if she could convince him.
"I will let you do that one thing."
Now she reeled him in. The man looked at her with a smile. He quickly walked to a door and opened it up.
"This way, ladies. You can use the hot springs for the whole day if you'd like."
"Yeah!" Hannah ran through the door followed by Gerda and the others.
When they saw the hot springs they all gasped. It was better than they dreamed off. It was a big, beautiful sort of lake with the snowy mountains in the back ground. Steam surrounded the warm area. It was completely quiet and no soul was around.
"Let's do this!" Yelled Stella. She swept her long brown hair back and started to dress herself.
They all dressed and then jumped in. The water was warm and nice. Just like Hannah expected. She slumped against the side and looked up at the sky.
She was wondering how Elsa was doing right now.
It was a very busy day in the castle. The maids were all running around Elsa, trying to measure her. Elsa wanted to calmly read her books somewhere, but these maids kept appearing and they kept trying to measure her for the wedding dress.
At a certain point Elsa had enough and told them 'kindly' to leave, but they still kept following her.
She was certain that either her mother or her father was behind this. So she searched the castle and finally found her parents in the big ballroom with Hans and a woman.
"Mother, father!" Elsa stopped in front of them and pushed a maid away. "What is going on? Why are these maids..."
"Ah, Elsa, good you are present!" Her mother ignored her statement and grabbed her by her shoulders. She gently pushed Elsa towards the strange woman. The maids would still not buzz off and kept trying to measure her with measuring tapes.
"This here is your decorator, miss Williams."
The woman made a small curtesy. She had dark hair in a ponytail and wore a yellow dress.
"It is an honor to meet you, princess Elsa." She straightened her back again. "I would like to know what color the flowers should be."
"Color?"
"Yes, flowers do set the tone." Said Hans. He put his hand against her back. "Now, what would you like? Red, white or..."
"Blue?"
Everyone was silent, but miss Williams laughed a little.
"Princess Elsa, not to be rude, but blue roses don't exist." Said miss Williams. "Would you rather have red roses? Or white ones?"
Elsa sighed. "Then let's go with white. The color red reminds me of blood and it doesn't go with the wedding...speaking of which...why are these maids following me around?!"
Idun giggled. "Because, honey, your father told them whoever got your measurements first would be able to take the day off on the day of the wedding..."
"Mother."
"Blame your father." Idun put her hand onto Agdar's shoulder. "He was the one who decided to..."
"I did no such thing!" Agdar looked at Idun with disbelieve. "Why do you lay the blame on me?!"
"Because a king needs to take responsibility, am I not correct?"
Agdar glared at Idun. Under her sweet tone there was a layer of mischief. Elsa saw it too and giggled a little. Sometimes she saw a glimpse of her younger parents. They would bicker, tease each other, like normal people. Sometimes they would even flirt, which she found disgusting.
"Well, then, white roses it is." Said miss Williams. Everyone looked back at her.
"Yes, white..." Elsa pushed one of the maids away. "And if you want to know my measurements, I will tell you...I am-"
"152 cm tall, weighs 53, her waist is about 32 and her bust size is a b-cup."
"Jack!" Elsa turned around and looked with a blush at him. "What a-are you saying?"
"Oh, excuse me, I assumed that your father wished to know?" Jack looked confused at her.
"I did." Said Agdar. "But you should not interrupt my daughter, Frost. You should know your place."
"Why did you even come here? I thought that you were gone into town." Said Elsa.
"No, I actually noticed how stressed you were, princess Elsa. So, since my friends were talking about the hot springs, I thought that you would like to bath as well. Just to calm your nerves. I've prepared a bath for you."
"Elsa." Said Hans. "Maybe you should indeed relax for a bit. Stress isn't good for you."
Elsa nodded. "You are right. I should rest a little..."
Jack smiled and made a small bow. "Then, if you will follow me."
"Don't worry, we will take of the rest." Said Idun. "Go and have some time for yourself, sweetheart."
Elsa followed Jack down the hallway. The maids stopped following her. She sighed. There was so much that had to be done for the wedding. But the worst part was that she didn't have any control over it. It was almost as if she was a bystander. All she had to do was make sure the dress fitted, smile on her wedding day and play the part.
"Here we are."
Jack opened a door to reveal a big bath. The water reflected off onto the grey floor tiles. Elsa stepped into the big room. She noticed a few towels laying around together with a few parfums and soaps.
"It's so big..." Elsa gasped.
"Yes. Me and a few other servants prepared everything. You can dress and enjoy the bath all for yourself. It will be a nice way to relax for a bit and to clean yourself."
"I see...well then..." Elsa slowly undid her dress. "No peaking!"
Jack blushed and turned the other way. He looked down at the floor tiles. Lately he saw how tired Elsa was and yesterday Thiana told him that her father was belittling her again...he frowned. How long was it going to last? How long was her father going to be mean to her?
"You can turn around, you know."
Jack turned around at the sound of her voice. Elsa was in the bath. Her hair was hanging loosely over her shoulders. Her dress was tossed to the side. She sighed and turned around to face him. Jack sighed and picked her clothes up.
"Why the long face, Frost?" Asked Elsa with a smile.
"Because it has been 3 years and you still forget to clean up after yourself."
Elsa frowned and stuck her tongue out. "Stupid!"
"Real mature, ice-princess." Jack lay her clothes next to the towels. "But I should really get going. I still have a few things to do."
"Like what?"
"Reading. And cleaning my room."
"I thought the maids did yours too..."
Jack shook his head. "No. I want to do it myself since I'm no royal."
"I see..." Elsa turned around again. She smiled mischievously. "Then...I still have something important to tell my father. If you would take a message?"
"Sure, what is it?"
Elsa beckoned him to come. "Come a bit closer, Jack."
Jack rolled with eyes. He walked closer to her. He then crouched down next to her head and looked confused at her.
"Yes?"
Suddenly Elsa grabbed his collar and threw him into the water. Jack landed down with a loud splash. Water slowly filled his lungs. He quickly swam back up to the surface before he would drown and started to sputter it out while Elsa laughed loudly.
"Oh, your face!" Her laugh echoed throughout the room. "I surely wish that I could do that again just to experience that expression of yours!"
Jack stopped sputtering. He swatted some water her way, but Elsa kept laughing.
"I will get my revenge on you, Elsa!" Said Jack.
Elsa giggled. "Surely, sure...just after I am doing ruling, right?"
"You are dead!" Jack was ready to put the snow queen underneath the hot water.
But before Jack could take any action a knock on the door was suddenly heard.
"Elsa? Are you in there?" It was Idun.
"Oh no, my mother! If she sees me like this!" Hissed Elsa with a nervous face.
"What do you want me to do?" Asked Jack.
"Get under!" Elsa pushed him back down into the water. Just a few seconds after she pushed him down her mother appeared.
"Elsa?" Asked Idun. She smiled when she saw her daughter in the bath. "Ah, I see that you're in the bath. Is it good?"
"Yes..." Elsa turned her head and smiled at her.
"Okay, I thought that I heard Jack's voice?"
Elsa pushed Jack a little further. A few air bubbles came from the bath.
"J-Jack? No, he isn't here. Maybe you imagined things."
Elsa felt really bad to lie, but she had to or she would have another fight with her family. And she was too tired for that.
"Well then...I wanted to discuss something important with you."
"What is it?"
Meanwhile Jack was still under the water. He could barely breath. Oh, he was going to take his revenge later! He opened his eyes and saw that he was right between her legs.
Or he could take his revenge now.
Jack moved forward, put his lips against her stomach and started to blow on it.
"Eek!" Elsa let out a small shriek.
"Elsa? Is something wrong?" Asked Idun.
Elsa shook her head. "N-no...just forget something about my homework. But go on, you wanted to tell me something..."
"Yes. It is about the wedding."
'Great, again about the wedding...' Thought Elsa.
Jack smiled a little. He moved down and kissed her on her maidenhood.
"A-ah!" Elsa became red. She put her hand against her mouth.
"Elsa?" Asked Idun worried.
Elsa removed her hand. "Just, the wedding again?"
"Yes? Is that going to be a problem, young lady?" Idun's voice sounded stern.
"N-no..."
"Well then..." Idun continued. "About the wedding, it is all going very fast..."
Jack moved even further down. He was now in front of her vagina. He moved a bit forward and kissed her folds. He felt how her hand started to move into his hair.
"I-i-i-i-it is?" Elsa felt her face heat up.
"Yes...and it must move very fast for you. Faster than you want it to go."
Jack stuck out his tongue and started to lick it. Elsa her breathing became more rapid, but she tried to keep it under control.
"And I know. I've been there. Except that this time...it doesn't feel right for me." Idun held her hand against her chest. "And as your mother...I could try and arrange some way that you can call it off."
"C-call it off?"
'What is this idiot doing...ah...I can barely think!' Thought Elsa.
"Yes. If that is what you want." Said Idun.
Jack grabbed her legs and put them over his shoulders. He grabbed her hips and moved deeper with his tongue. Elsa felt how her body started to shake.
"No!" She yelled in agony. She put both her hands into his hair and started to move frantically with her hands.
"W-what?" Asked Idun bewildered.
'Get a hold of yourself, Elsa! But this feeling...' Thought Elsa.
"I l...love Hans...and...calling it off...we would be making a big mistake..." Elsa regained a bit of her posture and frowned. "This is what I want, what everyone wants...calling it off would only cause problems! Problems for everyone!"
"But Elsa..."
"I know what I want, mother. It might be difficult, but I do want to get married..."
"You do?" Idun blinked a few times, sighed and lowered her hands. "Alright, if that is what you wish for. But now there is no turning back, do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand."
"Good...enjoy your bath, sweetie." Idun turned around and left the room. She closed the door behind her.
Elsa loud out a long breath and slumped down. Jack finally needed some air and came out of the water. He wore an mischievous grin.
"I didn't knew you were so sensitive, princess..."
Elsa lay her head back. She felt her heart beating rapidly. And her lower half felt like it was going to explode.
"Elsa? A-are you okay?"
"Why did you stop?" Elsa raised her head again and looked at him with a frown and a big blush.
"Huh?"
"You stopped...pervert..." Elsa looked away. "And I wanted you to go on...finish what you started..."
"Princess Elsa..." Jack frowned. "I cannot do that...this...this was just supposed to be a joke, but I...I really did something perverted, didn't I?"
"You did, idiot. But I still want you to finish it...I need you..."
"Princess...I can't."
"It's an order."
"No seriously, I could barely breathe under the water." Jack rubbed his head. "And I wanted to take revenge, but I took it too far and basically touched you in a very inappropriate manner..."
"Then your punishment will be to finish it..." Elsa stood up and Jack looked away. "And you can do it on the surface."
"B-but I...won't they hear us?"
"They won't." Elsa jumped out of the bath and sat down onto the floor. "I think...I hope. They won't, right?"
Jack smirked. She could be so cute at times...he stood up out of the bath and kneeled beside her.
"I guess we can only find out, princess Elsa."
He gently grabbed her hands and pushed her down onto her back. Then he moved down to her maiden hood. He spread her legs and saw that she was really wet. He chuckled and moved down with his head.
"You are really wet, Elsa..." He whispered in a low tone.
"Y-you know, you should call me by my proper title...ah!" Elsa shrieked when she felt his tongue enter her again.
"Elsa..." Jack took her hips and moved her closer. He felt how her hips started to buck against his lips.
"Ah, ah, w-wait..." Elsa covered her mouth with both of her hands. Strange, new sensations filled her body. The worst part was that she wanted more. She felt like she needed this. Like something had been missing all this time...
Jack moved his tongue down to her most sensitive area. And it was too much for Elsa.
"J-Jack!" Elsa threw her head back. She exploded into his mouth and her whole body became weak.
Jack moved back and released her. He sat up and cleaned his mouth off. Elsa panted a few times. The room became silent for a few minutes.
Elsa then sat up. She looked at Jack who was looking away with a blush. Wait, why was he blushing? She then realized that she was naked in front of him and covered herself with her hands.
"Uh, uhm..." Elsa bit her lip again. What should she say after they did such a scandalous thing?
"Sorry..." Jack lowered his head.
"Hm?"
"I'm so sorry, princess Elsa...I truly am...I am sorry."
Elsa moved a bit closer to him. She put her hand underneath his chin and raised his head.
"No, it is my fault. I was the one who ordered you to, remember?" She smiled a little. "And the worst part...I know that we did something bad...and I enjoyed it more than ever."
Jack his eyes widened. "You did? Wait, was I...good?"
Elsa furrowed her eyebrows. "Are you serious? I am trying to apologize, to ease your pain..."
"Right, right, sorry again, Elsa...I mean, princess Elsa." Jack grinned. "I got you good, didn't I?"
"For your revenge?" Elsa giggled. "You did, Frost, you did..."
"Okay..." Jack sighed.
Elsa let out a sigh as well. "Let's never talk about this, okay?"
"Sure. This was just something stupid. I like you princess, but not like Hans..."
"Me too. I mean, I care about you more than some others, but I cannot ever love a servant." Said Elsa.
"And I cannot ever love a princess." Said Jack. "It might be illegal."
Their smiles both faded for a few seconds. Elsa shook her head and stood up. Jack followed and stood up too.
"Well, I still have some relaxing to do."
"Right...I better leave then. I am all wet." Jack pointed at his clothes.
"Yes, you do that..." Elsa walked back into the bath. Jack nodded and walked towards the door. But before he opened the door he stopped in his tracks.
"Elsa?"
"Hm?" Elsa glanced at him.
"About the wedding, are you sure?"
Elsa looked down at the water. She saw her own troubled reflection. "If only..."
"What?"
She shook her head. "Nothing. But yes, I am sure. This is my fate, Jack."
"I know, but you can change it, right?" Asked Jack.
"I wish I...I...I cannot. I am the future-queen. This is my responsibility."
"Oh." His voice sounded a tone sadder. He opened the door up. "Got it...princess."
He left and closed the door behind him. Elsa looked up at the ceiling. She then groaned and pushed her head down into the warm water.
She needed to clear her head.
Later that evening Hannah was back in the whorehouse. She lay down onto her bed and looked up at the ceiling. Today it was fun. She and the girls all played in the hot springs and enjoyed their day. For once her body could relax. And for once her skin wasn't touched by some disgusting hands.
"Hannah?"
Kristoff walked into the room. He carried a plate with food in his hands. He walked over to her and looked down her with a disapproving look.
"What?" Asked Hannah annoyed. She knew why he came here.
"Gerda called you a thousand times, but you wouldn't come down. One of the girls knocked on your door to ask if you were okay and you just send her away. Are you sick or something?"
Hannah sat up. She sighed and looked at Kristoff. "Christopher, do you ever feel like you did your whole life wrong?"
"Not really...though there are some parts that I would like to change, but those are just small things. Why?"
"Because.." Hannah pushed with her hand through her loose hair. "Don't tell anyone, but yesterday was so much fun. And it felt...calming...at work it is always so stressful. And even though I enjoyed Elsa's birthday, it was still very tiring for me."
"Tiring?"
"Yeah...I love her, but it is sorta of difficult to get close to her. She always seems so reserved."
"That is what queens and princesses do." Kristoff put his plate down on a table. He walked towards her and sat down next to her on the bed. "But maybe, after a few years, she will open up to you. Just like she is probably doing with Jack."
"With Jack..." Hannah clenched her fist. "You probably already heard from Gerda, but I really like him."
"Aha...that is why you blush so much around him."
"But it's so frustrating! I don't know what he thinks!" Said Hannah. She looked back at Kristoff. "What if he already has a girlfriend?!"
"Maybe. I can't read his mind either, Hannah."
"Or what if he fell in love with Elsa?"
Kristoff crossed his arms. He frowned and sighed. "What would you do then?"
"I..." Hannah looked down at her lap. What would she do? Would she try and break them up? But she didn't want to hurt Elsa...or feel the aching pain in her heart. "I don't know...if he would then I should at least talk to one of them...right?"
"Right. But don't worry about anything for now. Just eat and enjoy your dinner...princess..." Joked Kristoff.
Hannah her eyes widened. That word somehow sounded familiar.
"Princess, your dinner is ready!" The words echoed through her head as some sort of song.
"Hannah?" Asked Kristoff worriedly.
"Come on, sweetie, eat your vegetables!" A warm voice...the voice of a woman...her mother?
"HANNAH!"
Kristoff put his hand against her shoulder and put her out of her trance. Hannah looked at him in confusion.
"Are you okay?" Asked Kristoff.
Hannah forced a smile and shook her head. "Nothing. I'm going to eat this as soon as you leave, Kristoff..."
"Yeah, Yeah, I got it..." Kristoff stood up and left. Hannah sighed and fell onto her back again.
Who could her mother have been? Who could her parent even be? Gerda never told her anything and she never had much interest until now.
She looked back at the ceiling. Maybe she should ask Gerda one day. Her parents might have left her, but she needed to know. She had to know.
A few weeks later everything was set for the wedding.
Finally, because it had been very stressful. They had to arrange the ball, invite the guests, clean the whole castle, arrange the church...
Jack saw how tired everyone was by the end. But the next day, the day of the wedding, it looked like everyone had enough energy again.
The princess was sitting in a carriage with her father and Jack. They were riding towards the church.
Elsa had her hair up in a bun, some make up on and wore a white wedding dress. A necklace from her mother was hung around her neck. And a small tiara was put on her head together with a veil.
"Your mother will already be in the church. The guests are there too. After the ceremony we will go back to the castle and hold a ball." Said Agdar.
Elsa nodded. She felt wrong about this, but this was her fate. To get married, to rule a kingdom...she didn't need to think about her own needs.
"Are you ready?" Asked Jack.
Elsa nodded. "Yes..."
The carriage stopped in front of the church.
Showtime.
Elsa put her veil over her head. Jack opened the carriage and helped her out. Agdar then took her arm and a few guards and Jack opened the door.
The church was packed. Elsa noticed a few familiar faces like her mother's, Hannah, Gerda, Kristoff and a few princesses she once saw some years ago.
Hannah was wearing a green dress and her hair up in a ponytail. Gerda wore a light brown dress and her mother wore a beautiful purple dress.
But when she saw Hans she blushed. He looked very handsome in his white attire. Maybe this was right after all.
The choir in the church started to sing. Agdar and Elsa walked towards Hans and the pastor.
Elsa felt a bit nervous. Everyone was staring at her, this was her big day...she shouldn't ruin it. Oh no, what if she ruined it? Her father would murder her and...
"So..." Agdar released her arm when they stood by Hans. He sat down next to his wife Idun.
Elsa turned around to face Hans. Jack sat next to Hannah.
"She looks so beautiful..." Whispered Hannah.
Jack nodded. "She really is, isn't she?"
Hannah looked confused at him, but turned her head back at Elsa when the choir stopped singing and the priest started to speak.
"Elsa Rosalia Erika Christina and Hans Erik Stephan the third, have you come here to enter into Marriage without coercion, freely and wholeheartedly?" Said the priest.
"Yes, I am." Said Elsa.
"Yes I am." Said Hans.
"Are you prepared, as you follow the path of Marriage, to love and honor each other for as long as you both shall live?"
"Yes I am."
"Are you prepared to accept children lovingly from God and to bring them up according to the law of Christ and his Church?"
"Yes, I am."
"Prince Hans, do you take princess Elsa to be your wife? Do you promise to be faithful to her in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love her and to honor her all the days of your life?"
"Yes, I do..." Hans smiled softly at Elsa.
"And princess Elsa, do you take prince Hans to be your husband? Do you promise to be faithful to him in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love him and to honor him all the days of your life?"
"Yes, I do."
"Then we shall now bring forth the rings." Said the priest.
Jack stood up. This was his job. He took the rings from a nearby table and handed them to the couple. Hans took the first ring and took Elsa's hand. With a smile he put it onto her vinger.
"Elsa...take this ring as a prove of my love. In the name of the lord, I will hold you forever in my heart."
Elsa swallowed. He released her hand. She turned to Jack and took the rings. She noticed the look Jack gave her for a second. He looked understanding, but also hurt in a way.
She quickly took Hans's hand and shoved the ring onto his finger.
"H-Hans...take this r-r-ring...a...a...and take it. I...uh...love you..."
Everyone in the church stared at her. She became even redder. Why did she say that? In front of all these people?! What was wrong with her?!
All of a sudden Hans started to laugh. Everyone in the church started to chuckle a little too, except for the priest.
"My, Elsa, I love you too!" Hans smiled and looked at the priest. "Continue, father!"
"Well, you are now allowed to kiss the bride."
Hans took one step forward. He lifted her veil with a smile.
"I..."
Hans leaned forward and kissed her gently onto her lips. The church clapped into their hands and the church bell sounded throughout the town.
After that they held their ball.
It was busy and everyone was eating cake or dancing around. But more importantly, it was time for her wedding dance.
Hans took her onto the dance floor. A circle formed around them as people watched from the side.
The music started and the couple moved with the music. Elsa tried her best to not step onto his feet and she thought that she did a very good job. Her white gloved hands only felt a bit cold.
"Are you nervous?" Asked Hans.
Elsa looked at him. "N-no...I just want to dance well...after this my father needs to dance with me, am I correct?"
"Yes. Do you not wish to?"
"No. It is...I might be a little nervous. You do know that my father and I don't have a stable relationship."
"Elsa, he cares about you in a very different way. Just like my brothers."
Elsa frowned. She knew that his brothers didn't like him. They didn't even show up at the wedding. Except for his oldest brother who was looking from the side.
"And I shall show you my love tonight."
"Hm?"
The music stopped and Hans took a step back with a grin. Elsa stood there with a big blush. She didn't noticed Hans walking away and the people continuing to dance. She held her hand against her chest and bit her lip. So tonight...
"Don't bite on your lip."
Her father was suddenly in front of her. He roughly grabbed her hand and put his other hand onto her side. Elsa looked up at him with a surprised face.
Agdar didn't say a word and started to move along with the music. Elsa silently moved along.
She studied her father. She saw his grey-green eyes, one freckle by his eye and a few wrinkles on his face. They looked nothing alike.
"What?" Asked Agdar a bit annoyed by her stare.
Elsa shook her head. "Nothing. This is...this is just the first time that we're this close without us bickering..." She sighed and looked down at their feet.
"Elsa."
She looked back up at her father. He smiled slightly at her.
"You're right."
Elsa her eyes widened. Her father never admitted that she was right.
"And you look beautiful." Said Agdar. "Your mother wore the same dress on her wedding day."
"This one?"
"Yes."
Agdar's smile grew a little. Elsa smiled a little bit back. Maybe he did care more about her than she thought.
"What did mom look like when she got married?"
"She wore her hair loose, because she was very stubborn..." Agdar chuckled. "And she wore that dress. She was very happy and so was I. I never thought I would meet such a great and beautiful woman. But I did. And I've been in love with her ever since."
"How romantic..."
"Eventually, one day she told me straight out that she wished for children and I..."
Elsa noticed how his smile faded away. She saw how darkness filled his eyes. This couldn't be good.
"Papa...?"
Agdar stopped moving. He looked down at his daughter with a frown.
"Maybe you should talk to some different people, Elsa."
"B-but you were telling..."
"Nothing. Stories are for children, Elsa." His voice sounded cold and distant. "I am going to speak with your mother."
He released her and walked away. Elsa felt a bit nauseous. She knew exactly why he stopped.
It was all her fault...all her...
"Elsaaa!"
Hannah ran across the room and wrapped her arms around Elsa with a laugh.
"H-Hannah!" Elsa turned around and looked at Hannah. The other girl looked beautiful.
"The party is amazing!" Said Hannah as she took a step back. "And you look goooooooddd!"
"T-thank you..." Elsa put one hair behind her ear.
"But more importantly, do you guys...is there a bathroom? I have to go to the toilet." Said Hannah.
Elsa nodded. "R-right...uhm, you can use my toilet in my room. It's up the stairs, fourth door on your left."
"Got it." Said Hannah. "Up the stairs, fourth door on my left."
Elsa smiled. "Exactly..."
Jack appeared next to her. "Princess Elsa, you look beautiful."
Hannah nodded. She excused herself and went to find the bathroom.
"Thank you, Jack. Are the guest entertaining themselves?" Asked Elsa.
"I believe so..." Jack looked around.
"Princess Elsa!"
Elsa turned around. One of the servants took a step back and bowed down. In front of her there was a small man with grey hair.
"Princess Elsa, the duke of weasel town." Said the servant.
"It's Wesselton!" Yelled the duke. He scraped his throat and made a small bow. "Princess Elsa, it is an honor to meet you."
"Thank you." Said Elsa. She was told to never say 'likewise' as a royal.
The duke straightened his back again and smiled at her. "I see that you had your dance with your husband and your father."
"Yes?"
The duke reached out with his hand. "Then, may I also have the pleasure of a dance?"
Elsa looked away. She didn't want to hurt his feelings, but she couldn't dance that well. And she wasn't much in a mood to dance with an old duke.
"I..uh...don't dance?" said Elsa a bit uncertain.
"But I just saw you dancing..." Said the duke.
"Y-yes, but...I..."
Jack grinned to himself and took a step forward. He bowed down to the small duke. "Duke of Weaseltown, I am sure that the princess would love to dance with you. Unfortunately she is a bit tired and was just about to take a fresh breath of air."
"Oh, I see..." The duke sighed. "I'm sorry, princess Elsa."
Elsa smiled at him. "Oh, no need to-"
Jack pushed with his hand against her back. "Now, now, you need some fresh air, princess. I shall accompany you."
Elsa glared at him. "Is that really necessary, Jack?"
"Yes, of course, princess. Now come on, you can't go on your own."
Elsa grumbled and they walked away from the duke. The duke stared at them and sighed.
"Why does every princess ignore my request for a dance? Is it my height?"
The servant behind him giggled and stopped when the duke stared at him.
Hannah walked through the hallway. She wasn't sure if she was even allowed to wander around.
Okay, it was the door on the...left...right? Wait, what?
She groaned. "Where the hell is the damn thing...?"
She opened a door, but it let to a closet. She closed it and sighed. Hannah walked further down the hallway. Okay, it shouldn't be too far away.
For a few more minutes she looked around. Yet, she could not find it.
Hannah sighed again. "Damn this all...I-"
Suddenly Hannah noticed what seemed like two children running down another flight of stairs. She looked confused. Did she just see that right? Two children? Maybe they were lost.
She ran after the two. Hannah could hear the two children laughing. It sounded like two girls. When she caught them she should take them back to the party and find their parents. But what if they were orphans? Maybe Gerda knew what to do. After all, she adopted children when she was younger, she even took care of her when she was little...
She arrived in another room. This one looked like a big throne room. Paintings were hanging on the wall and in a glass-case there was the crown of the king.
"Oh, where could Anna be?"
Hannah saw a small, transparant child walking towards an old, broken closet. Was it a ghost? Hannah swallowed nervously. Or was this...a memory?
The child had a blue dress and blond hair. Hannah could not see her eyes. She stayed frozen in her place. If they were ghosts.
The child suddenly giggled. "I can't seem to find her and I've been looking for so long...then maybe I should tell mama and papa that I can't find my little sister.."
Her voice sounded familiar. As if she heard it in a past life or something.
"My poor Anna! All alone in this world!"
"Anna?" Whispered Hannah. "Are you..."
"I'm here!"
A transparant child appeared out of the void. It seemed like another small girl, except younger. This one had red hair and wore a green dress.
"You don't need to tell mama and papa anything! I won't hide anymore, I'll be good!" Said the smaller child.
"Good Anna...good...Ha..."
The two girls disappeared into the void. Hannah felt strange. Vacant memories and thoughts flooded through her head. It was like something out of another life. Something what happened in the past. Her past?
Hannah chuckled. "Crazy..."
She walked up to the crown. There was a glass case around it. She gently touched it.
"Dancing Bears, painted Wings, things I almost remember. And a song someone sings...once upon a december..."
It was a tune. A tune from her past. A tune her mother used to sing.
She sang further in a louder voice and wrapped her arms around herself.
"Someone holds me safe and warm. Horses prance through a silver storm. Figures dancing gracefully, across my memory..."
By the last note she turned around and held her arms up. Out of the paintings on the wall figures appeared. They seemed like the party guests, but wore much more prettier dresses. She walked forward and swayed around with her eyes closed.
Everything felt warm and familiar. It felt like home.
The figures around her danced in pairs. Just like at a royal pair. Music flew around through the big throne room.
"Someone holds me safe and warm. Horses prance through a silver storm. Figures dancing gracefully, across my memory..."
While Hannah sang she saw another pair of people gracing down from a painting. They were what seemed like the queen and king with two little girls. The two little girls she saw. One of the girls ran up to her and handed her a necklace.
Hannah put it on and within a second she wore a blue and expensive dress. But Hannah continued to sing. She didn't mind it. All that was there was something she recognized from a past. Her own.
One of the ghost-partyguests took her hand and she danced around with him. She switched between partners when she continued to sing. Everything spun around, the memories was vague, yet so clear.
"Far away, long ago, glowing dim as an ember, things my heart, used to know...things it yearns to remember..."
The music became more silent. Her partner released her and someone else stepped forward. A strange and beautiful woman took her hand. The woman had blond hair hanging loosely down her shoulders. She wore a dress...a dress that was grey and a bit torn. Hannah didn't see her eyes, but she noticed some wounds on the woman's arms and legs.
The woman took her hand and swayed more calmly.
"And a song..." sang Hannah quietly while they dance. "Someone sings..."
They stopped dancing and the woman released her hand. Hannah fell down to her knees. With a bit of her strength she sang the last notes of the song. The woman before her sang quietly with her.
"Once upon a december..."
The party guests were all gone. Except for the woman. Hannah looked up at her. Finally she could see her eyes.
But her breath stocked in her throat for a moment. She saw two familiar blue eyes looking back at her together with a tearful smile.
"El..."
"Hey!"
Before Hannah could speak any further a knight barged into the room. She quickly jumped up.
"Shit!" she cursed under her breath.
"What are you doing here?!" Yelled the knight. "The ball is downstairs! Are you a thi..."
"No, but I'm sorry, I'll be going, sir, mister, knight, sir!" Hannah ran past him before he could catch her.
Wait, fourth door on her left!
Hannah ran up the stairs, down the hallway. She ran all the way back and then barged into the fourth room on her left.
She quickly closed the door behind her. This time she was right. The room was Elsa's room. One bed was standing against the wall. Hannah looked around out of curiosity. There was a bookcase, a desk and a door to probably the bedroom. There was also a closet...that was about it...
This room was so big! Why would the princess need so much space. There could surely fit two people in this room...
She saw a door. It probably led to the bathroom. Great! Now she could finally take a leak!
Hannah walked into the bathroom. She pulled her dress up and pulled her underwear off and sat down on the toilet.
It was strange...why would she see that memory just now? It all didn't make sense and her head started to hurt a bit.
Where those really suppressed memories? Or did she just wish for a better life?
Anna...Hannah...their names surely did sound alike. And those wounds on the princess in her memories...it was ludicrous! The princess always seemed fine. Well...did she?
Hannah finished her business and stood up. She cleaned herself and then walked back into the room, but she suddenly bumped into something.
"Ow..." Hannah took a few steps back and held her side. Something hard was...
Her eyes widened.
A big piece of ice was sticking out of the ground. It was pointy and sharp...Hannah put her finger against it. Was this because of the ice witch? Was the ice witch threatening Elsa? Wait, this all didn't make any sense...
She looked around and now also noticed a door to a balcony.
Hannah gasped. She loved balconies! She opened the door up and walked onto the balcony. The balcony looked over the garden beneath her. She saw Elsa and Jack walking into the garden and smiled.
Maybe she should call their name?
Elsa walked into the garden with Jack. The cold air felt nice. She sat down on the bench and let out a deep breath.
Jack chuckled and sat down next to her. "Are you feeling better?"
Elsa closed her eyes. "Yeah...the cold air feels amazing..."
"It does, doesn't it?"
"Yeah..." Elsa opened her eyes again. Jack stared at her and blushed. She looked so beautiful in the pale moonlight. Her skin looked so smooth and her lips looked...
"Why are you staring at me?" Elsa tilted her head and looked confused at him.
Jack looked back forward. "No reason...you just look very beautiful."
"Hm..." Elsa leaned closer to him. "I do, hm?"
"Y-yes..." Jack chuckled and glanced away. "But you probably hear that everyday."
Elsa leaned back and looked down at the ground. "Yes...I hear that a lot..." She chuckled a little. "But does it even mean anything anymore...?"
"Say, Elsa, are you happy?"
Elsa looked back at him in surprise. "Excuse me?"
"Are you happy?"
Jack looked serious. Elsa frowned.
"What kind of question is that?"
"A normal one."
Elsa shook her head. "Of course I...look, I'm married, I get to live a good life...my powers are getting more under control. My lessons are going fine...I am content."
"Content is not a word for being happy. Unless you don't want to change your situation."
"I...I...why does it even matter what I want?!" Elsa got irritated with him. She folded his arms and glared at him, but Jack ignored it.
"Because I am your servant and one of my duties is to keep you happy."
"Who told you that?!"
Jack chuckled. "Your mother? And your father, sorta? But Elsa..."
"I'm doing fine, Jack. Please, stop asking. Happiness is not something I like to think about."
"Oh, okay...then if you're not happy..." Jack stood up. Elsa looked at him in confusion. He stood in front of her and made a curtesy and stretched his hand out. "Then maybe a dance will make you?"
"Hm?"
"Can I have this dance, princess Elsa?"
Elsa blushed and looked away. "I don't dance..."
"That doesn't work with me." Jack took her hand and pulled her up. Elsa shrieked and clumsily fell against his chest.
She looked up at him with a red head. "J-Jack..."
Jack calmly took her hand and put his other hand onto her side. He smiled down at Elsa. "Now, princess, shall we dance?"
"We don't have any music, idiot."
"Yes, we do."
Jack calmly started to murmur a familiar song. Elsa moved along with him. She didn't knew that he could dance. And he was pretty good.
She felt so calm in his arms. Jack was one of the few who knew about her powers and still accepted her. The others were her mother, Hans and a few of the servants. Elsa lay her head into his neck and relaxed a little. No one in the world would stay by her side. Except for him.
Jack felt her breathing into his neck. He couldn't continue to sing like this and stopped moving. Elsa took a step back and looked at him in confusion.
"Jack?"
He suddenly wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into a hug.
"Elsa, I..."
"You...?" Elsa felt how heart could burst at any moment now. Was he going to say what she thought he would say?
He released her and put his hand against her cheek. Tears appeared into his eyes. "I.."
"What is it? Why are you crying?" Whispered Elsa.
"No reason..." Jack dried his tears with his other hand. "Just...never mind."
"Jack, no lying."
"No lying..." Jack chuckled. "That is right...sorry, princess..."
He moved closer to her. Elsa looked confused at him. What was he doing?
Jack grazed with his lips against her cheek. Elsa moaned a little when he moved down to her lips, but stopped right next to them. Elsa grasped the fabric of his clothing. Her legs were shaking a bit.
"Wait..." Muttered Elsa.
She pushed him away with a loud shriek. Jack stumbled a bit back, but regained his composure.
"Elsa..."
"What..." Elsa looked at him with wide eyes. "Why...why...why where you doing that?!"
"I..."
"You...stop messing around with my feelings!" Said Elsa. She took a step back and wrapped her arms around herself. "Please...stop..."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you." Jack reached out with his hand. "It..."
"Was it another joke for you?!" Elsa took a step forward. "Just like last time?!"
"It wasn't a joke!" Yelled Jack.
"Then what was it?! What is this?!" Elsa took another step forward. Snow started to whirl around a little in the garden.
"It is love, princess!"
The snow stopped whirling around. Elsa her eyes widened. She stared at him with widened eyes.
"Why can't you figure that out?!" Yelled Jack. "L.O.V.E! It as simple as that! I love..."
He closed his mouth slowly and looked away with a big blush. Elsa kept staring at him. Her heart was pounding loudly in her chest.
"You..." She whispered.
Jack looked back at her. "Princess. Shall we go back inside? It's cold."
"Jack, you..."
Jack made a bow. "Sorry, princess. I should not have said that to you. It was...idiotic of me."
"Right..." Elsa nodded. "I understand...in some way..."
Jack straightened his back. They both silently walked back into the ballroom.
Hannah was sitting on the balcony. She wrapped her arms around herself and sniffed.
Jack...he loved her. He really did love Elsa...her fear came true...but princess Elsa was just married. Why would she...she felt dizzy. She was tired.
Hannah stood up. A tear fell down her cheek. She wiped it away. Her heart was hurting. She wanted to forget the entire night.
She walked out of the room, through the hallway, down the stairs, into the ballroom.
"Hannah!" Kristoff walked up to her. "Did you find the bathroom?"
"Yeah, yeah..."
"What's wrong? You look..."
Hannah forced a smile onto her lips. "I'm fine, just tired."
"Really? Aw, I wanted to dance with you!" Said Kristoff. Elsa and Jack walked up to the two. They were both averting each other's gazes.
Hannah glared at him. "We've danced enough, Christopher."
"Why does everyone call me that?" Said Kristoff with a sigh.
"Honey..." The queen and king and Hans stepped forward. Queen Idun smiled at her daughter. "It is time."
"N-now?" Elsa nervously gulped.
Hans stepped forward and took her hand. "Elsa...it will be fine. Trust me."
Hannah frowned. She didn't trust Hans for a second. He seemed to wore a fake smile very often. He also didn't seem like someone Elsa would fall for. Elsa's type was...She sighed.
"Hannah, is something wrong?" Asked Jack.
"No, I'm just tired..." Hannah glared at him. "Jack..."
"What?"
"Nothing. I just happened to see..."
"Alright!" Agdar interrupted her and clapped into his hands. "It is late, we should close the party!"
"Yes." Idun smiled at Hannah, Kristoff and Gerda. "It was nice to see you three again."
"Oh no, the pleasure is all ours!" Gerda made a bow. She then straightened her back and grabbed Hannah and Kristoff by their arms. "Come on, guys, it's late. We should leave."
"B-but, I still wanted to ask J-Jack..." Stuttered Hannah.
"You can ask him whatever you want later. Now is not the time. Come on..."
"Gerda..." Hannah and Kristoff were both dragged away by Gerda.
Elsa giggled a little. Those three were really funny sometimes.
Jack made a small bow. "Follow me, princess Elsa and prince Hans. I shall lead you to the master bedroom."
"The master bedroom..." Whispered Elsa.
They walked after Jack up the stairs out of the ballroom. Everyone was whispering behind them. The master bedroom was a special bedroom made for...the first night and other things...there was a big bed in the room and it always smelled very nice.
They arrived and Elsa was right. There was one big bed, a chair and a desk, for some reason and that was it. Her parents spend their first night here and she would too.
"I shall leave everything in your hands." Jack made a small bow. "Good luck."
"Jack, wai-"
Before Elsa could finish her sentence the door closed. She was now alone in the room with Hans.
WARNING: sex scene, (yeah I know, it sucks)
Elsa nervously pulled her dress off, which was more difficult then expected.
"Should I help?" Asked Hans.
Elsa turned, but saw that he was already naked and turned around again. "N-no, I've got it..."
The dress suddenly fell down to the ground.
"See?" Elsa smiled to herself. "I can do these things my..."
Hans suddenly wrapped his arms around her from behind. Elsa shrieked when she felt his skin against hers.
"Relax, this going to be fine..." Hans kissed her neck and Elsa let out a small moan.
"Ah, wait..."
Hans led her to the bed and pushed her down. He crawled on top of her and started to kiss her breasts.
"H-Hans, ah..." Elsa threw her head back. Her bun had fallen out and her hair was spread onto the pillow. "S-stop..."
"You telling me to stop when you make such noises...oh, Elsa..."
Suddenly she felt his fingers move into her vagina.
"H-Hans, no!" Her hands grabbed his shoulders firmly. "I will do anything if you pull those out!"
Hans pulled his fingers out and looked at Elsa with a devilish smirk.
"You will do anything, my queen?"
Elsa nodded. "Y-yes...just don't do that..." She didn't want him to touch her down there...only Jack was allowed to...wait, what was she thinking?
"Then, Elsa..." Hans sat up. "I want you to beg for me."
"Beg for you?" Whispered Elsa.
"Yes." Hans put his hand against her cheek. "You know you want me, don't you?"
"Yes, but..."
His fingers moved into her vagina again. Elsa grasped his shoulders again.
"Okay, okay!" Yelled Elsa. "I, I need you! P-please, show me..."
His fingers moved deeper into her maidenhood. Elsa released his shoulders and her hands fell down next to her side.
"S-show me..."
His fingers started to move. Elsa's her hips bucked against his hands.
"S-s-show..." Elsa bit on her lip. It hurt. It hurt so much...
Hans pulled his hand back. He looked at his fingers. A bit of blood was on the top of his vingers. He looked nonchalantly at the blood."
"Hm...I can see that you're a virgin, sweet Elsa. But of course you are..."
Elsa looked up at him with pants. "I...you...you said that you would stop if I begged."
"You pleaded, Elsa. Pleading is not begging." Said Hans. He moved down and kissed her.
"Hm..."
He moved back up and looked down at her. "But, my penis in you...it will hurt much more, sweetheart."
Elsa her eyes widened. "Hans...I'm scared."
Hans moved down with his hand and grabbed something. Elsa felt his wet tip grazing against her opening.
"Don't be. It will only hurt for a bit." Said Hans.
"But..."
"Hush now. I need to fit in."
"Fit it..."
Suddenly she felt a sharp pain. Something big and slick was entering her. The pain went through her entire body. She looked up at Hans with tears in her eyes.
"Does it hurt, Elsa?" Said Hans with a grunt.
"Yeah..." Elsa started to tremble.
"Well, I'm going to move now. Bear it, sweetheart."
"No, don't-"
Hans started to move with his hips. He didn't wait for her to get adjusted to his size, he just suddenly moved. Elsa grasped the sheets.
"Elsa, Elsa..." Said Hans. He started to move faster.
It hurts, it hurts...Elsa closed her eyes. She panted. Was it supposed to hurt so much?
Hans put his hand onto her breast and kneaded it. Elsa her eyes flew open.
"Hans, no!" Yelled Elsa. "That hurts!"
Hans moved down and licked her neck. "Elsa...move your hips more."
"I-I can't!"
Hans suddenly bit hard into her neck. Elsa yelped and pushed against his chest. She felt his hard biceps and was unable to push him away.
"Liar..." Hans kissed her neck. "What if your father heard that lie?"
Elsa gasped. An ice spike shot out of the ground.
"You got tighter, Elsa..." Said Hans.
Elsa looked away with a blush. Hans moved faster into her. "Real tight, good girl..."
"H-Hans, p-please..." Elsa looked up at him. She moved her hands up and held them against his chest.
Hans grabbed her wrist and pushed them down next to her head.
"Elsa...Elsa..."
She looked up at him in confusion but shrieked when he released his load into her.
It felt strangely warm in her belly. Hans sighed and pulled out of her. He wiped some sweat from his head.
"Wow...just wow..." He smiled down at her. "You really do know how to please a man, Elsa."
"I-I don't..." Elsa looked up at him. "I don't..."
"Are you tired? Because I could go for another round."
Elsa looked up at him with a frown and sat up."B-but we just did it..."
Hans chuckled and pushed her back into the cushions.
"And we should do it again...or am I wrong?"
"N-no, just..."
"Well then..." Hans moved down to kiss her again.
Elsa squirmed and moved her legs around a bit. She was afraid and felt dirty. But this is what sex was like.
She should get used to it.
(End sex-scene)
The next morning Jack walked into the kitchen from the castle. One of the maids immediately walked up to him and handed him a silver tray with a few cups of tea and bread.
"Jack, bring this to the master bedroom. I'm sure that the couple wants to eat breakfast in bed."
Jack grinned. "You don't want to do your job, do you?"
The maid giggled. "Just get it to their room, servant."
Jack sighed and walked out of the kitchen. Hopefully everything went well...Elsa seemed a bit scared last night before he left.
He walked up the stairs and stopped in front of the bedroom. He knocked onto the door.
"Princess Elsa, I have some tea and-"
The door flew open and revealed Hans, fully clothed. He looked at Jack with a smile.
"Ah, Jack, I'm going to take a small stroll, but I'm sure that Elsa would love some tea." Said Hans. He grabbed one piece of bread and walked past him nonchalantly.
Jack sighed and walked into the room. "Princess..."
He froze when he closed the door behind him. He saw a few ice spikes sticking out of the floor. Elsa was on the bed curled into a small ball.
"Elsa!" Jack put the tray on a desk and ran to her. He helped her to sit up and then noticed a bite mark on her neck. He also saw a small bruise on her cheek. "Princess Elsa...what happened?"
Elsa looked down at the ground as if she was in a trance. Jack sat next to her. He gently wanted to grab her shoulder when Elsa suddenly looked at him in fear.
"Don't touch me!" She backed away.
Jack looked at her with a sad look. "Elsa..."
She noticed his eyes and somehow got back to her senses.
"Jack..." She leaped forward and buried her head into his chest.
"Elsa...what happened?"
"I...he...I'm so sorry!" Elsa started to sob against his chest. Jack put his hand against her back and patted her. He waited until she got all her tears out and then they started to talk. Elsa sat back and looked at Jack with teary eyes.
"Elsa..."
"I'm so sorry...I-"
Jack grabbed her shoulders. He didn't mind that she was still naked.
"Elsa, what happened?" He asked with worry. "Did Hans hurt you?!"
"He did, but it was my first time...it's supposed to hurt..." Elsa wiped her tears away. "But now...I must be defiled...you must hate me for that..."
"Defiled? Elsa, what are you talking about?"
"Hans...he touched me and did things...and I was...scared."
"That must explain the ice spikes..." Whispered Jack. He pull her into another hug. "You're alright Elsa. I'm here...I...and I will stay by your side."
Elsa relaxed. "T-thank you...Jack...you always know what to say."
"Of course I do princess..." Said Jack. "It's my duty."
"I noticed." Whispered Elsa.
Jack chuckled a little and Elsa sniffed.
But the two didn't see king Agdar standing in the doorway. The king looked at them before he had enough of them cuddling and coughed loudly.
"Ahem!"
Jack and Elsa parted and turned their heads towards him. Elsa shrieked and grabbed the bedsheets to cover her body.
"Jack, I need to have a word with you." Said Agdar.
Jack pointed at himself. "With me? Don't you want to speak with your daughter?"
"No, not this time...Elsa, clean yourself up and eat some breakfast downstairs with your mother, Jack, follow me."
Jack stood up. He gave Elsa one pat on her head. "See ya, princess." He then walked after the king. Since when did Agdar start calling him by his given name? Normally he would call him servant or something...
They walked through the hallways. Jack noticed the big paintings onto the wall. Paintings of the older generations, a few paintings of the king and a painting of Elsa and her sister as kids...it was strange. Her sister in the painting looked very familiar to him...
"Jack, we're going to the garden." Said Agdar.
Jack nodded. They walked down the stairs, into the garden. The snow was still sticking to the ground, but it was a bit warmer than yesterday.
Agdar turned around to face him. He looked at him with a frown.
"Elsa is going to be fine." Said Agdar. "Now, there is something that I need to ask you..."
"Yes?"
"Do you love my daughter?"
Jack gulped. "W-what do you mean? B-because I-I-I'm not..I mean, she has Hans. And I'm merely a servant."
"Hm...so you're not the spy."
"Spy?" Asked Jack.
"There might be a spy, someone from another kingdom who is going to try and assassinate my family. I do not know their name or their appearance. I only know that this person is already actively working at the castle."
"You mean someone from the staff?!" Said Jack.
Agdar folded his arms and nodded. "Yes. Which is why I want you or Hans to keep an eye on her and on Idun. Anyone could attack them at any point."
"Like now, while they are..."
"Thiana is with them. She is Idun's only friend in this kingdom. Surely, she won't hurt them. But, I want you to find the person who might be after them."
Agdar gave him a pat on the shoulder and walked towards the door that let inside.
Jack turned around and called out to him. "Your majesty, what should I do if I find that person?"
Agdar stopped in his tracks and chuckled.
"Anything the princess tells you to do."
