Betrayal

...

Third Person P.O.V

(Y/N) shivers and shakes violently as she holds weakly onto Kristoff's waist. He had given her his scarf in hopes of warming her, and had Anna wrapped securely in his arms as he urged Sven to run faster for their sake.

"Just hang on you two," Kristoff looks back at (Y/N) before looking down at Anna's face. He places his hat on her head, making her smile softly and curl more into him.

(Y/N) nearly collapses off Sven, making Kristoff gasp and reach blindly behind him, stabling her back on Sven.

"Focus... On... Anna, Kris!" (Y/N) manages out loud enough, "I'm fine!"

He looks back in concern before he nods in determination, holding Anna close to him as Sven races faster, Olaf sliding on his stomach next to them.

Olaf bounces before vocalizing as he bumps on the rocky snow, diverting to another path and sliding off a ledge into town.

"Oh, boy!" He yelps, holding his bottom part to his middle, "I'll meet you guys at the castle!"

"Stay out of sight, Olaf!" Kristoff yells, urging Sven faster.

"I will!"

Olaf disappears behind some buildings.

"Hi!"

A woman shrieks, "it's alive!!"

...

Sven races on the cobblestone pathway, and they approach the main gates.

The soldiers above gasp when they notice the two.

"It's Princess Anna and Lady (Y/N)!"

Kristoff pants slightly and slides off Sven, (Y/N) slowly following and staggering before leaning against the reindeer as Kristoff carries Anna bridal-style.

Sven walks along Kristoff, aiding (Y/N) as Anna and her shiver.

"A-Are you gonna be o-okay?" Anna shivers, making Kristoff smile softly down at her.

"Don't worry about me," he quietly replies as the gates open.

"Anna! (Y/N)!" A servant yells, Kai rushing to aid (Y/N) as the others help Anna as Kristoff sets her down.

"You both had us worried sick!" A womans scolds in concern.

"My Ladies," Kai greets, worried for (Y/N) as he helps her walk.

"Get them warm," Kristoff orders, "and lead Anna to Prince Hans immidiently!"

"We will," Kai nods, "thank you."

"B-Bye, Kris. Thank you... For everything," (Y/N) tears up, realizing this would probably be the last time they see one another.

Kristoff reaches for the two as they lead them away, "Make sure they're safe!"

Anna and Kristoff look at each other as the gates shut, (Y/N) staggering and shivering as the servants fuss over them.

Sven snorts sadly and stares at the gate as Kristoff sighs, patting him. Sven whines as Kristoff shakes his head, slowly turning and walking away.

...

"I'm going back out to look for Princess Anna and Lady (Y/N)," Hans nods with determination, walking towards the doors.

"You cannot risk going out there again," a noble dismisses.

"If anything happens to them..."

"If anything happens to the princess, you are all Arendelle has left!" The noble firmly replies, making Hans pause and think.

"He's in here," Kai opens the door, supporting (Y/N) on one side and Anna on the other while a servant girl aids. "Prince Hans!"

"Anna!" Hans races to her, grasping her hands as Anna reaches for him. "You're so cold!"

"Hans you have to kiss me!"

"What?"

"Now, now!" Anna pleads, gripping at his collar.

"Slow down," he urges, the other nobles and servants looking at one another.

"We'll give you two some privacy," the older woman ushers the nobles out, Kai helping (Y/N).

"(Y/N)...!" Anna whimpers, looking towards the freezing girl as she leans against Hans.

(Y/N) sadly smiles as Anna stumbles to her, hugging her tightly.

"You... You..."

"I know..." (Y/N) shushes, stroking Anna's hair. "But there is nothing to be done. It's... I'm okay. It's okay."

Anna whimpers again as (Y/N) hugs her one last time before joining Kai, using him for support.

...

"What happened out there?" Hans questions as the door shuts.

"Elson struck us with his power," Anna shakes.

"You said he'd never hurt you two!"

"I was wrong." Anna groans in pain, doubling over.

...

"Lady (Y/N)!" Kai yells as she staggers, collapsing and panting.

"I... I..." She stammers, gripping her heart in pain.

"What happened?" He demands, helping her up and watching as another streak of hair turns white.

"Elson... It was an accident..." (Y/N) whimpers back, panting. "I'm going to die soon," his eyes widen as he stands. "If he were here... Elson could... Maybe help."

Kai looks down for a moment.

"My Lady... He is here."

"What?" She breathes out, "where?!"

"In... The dungeons, My Lady." Kai replies, making her gasp.

"Take me to him!"

...

Hans scoops Anna up in his arms, carrying her to the couch near the lit fire.

She trembles violently as he kneels besides her, watching her in fear.

"He froze our... my heart," Anna shivers, cradling her freezing hands to her heart. "And only an act of true love can save me."

"A true love's kiss..." Hans realizes with wide eyes.

He gently caresses her cheek, placing his hands under her chin he lifts her face up. Anna shuts her eyes and slightly puckers her lips as he draws near, and could feel his breath on her lips... When Hans suddenly stopped.

"Oh, Anna." She opens her eyes in confusion. "If only there was someone out there who loved you."

"What...?" Anna whispers as he stands up, walking to the window and looking at his reflection. "Y--You said you... Did..."

"As thirteenth in line in my own kingdom," Hans shuts the curtain to the window, "I didn't stand a chance. I knew I'd have to marry into the throne somewhere." He removes one of his gloves with a chuckle.

"What... What are you... Talking about?"

Hans smirks as he puts the candles out with his fingertips.

"Such a shame (Y/N) wasn't the Princess, she was quite a beauty. But, unfortunately, she wasn't royalty. So, I had to settle for you," Hans continues, strolling to the fireplace as Anna's heart sinks more.  "And it was obvious Elson was infatuated with her, so I really didn't want to get on his bad side. And you..."

"Hans!" Anna pleads as he lifts a pitcher of water.

"... Were so desperate for love you were willing to marry me just like that!" Hans shakes his head, "I figured after we married I would have to..." He pours the water on the fire, "stage a little accident for Elson."

"Hans!" Anna gasps, falling from the couch as she reaches to him. "No... Stop!"

"And who knows, maybe I'd do the same for you and marry a grieving (Y/N)," he adds with a shrug. "Of course, I could still do so. Good thing Elson doomed himself, and you two were dumb enough to go after him, giving me enough time to... Gain trust."

"Please..." Anna whispers.

"Now, all that's left is to kill Elson, possible marry (Y/N), and bring back summer," he walks over to her spot on the floor with a sneer.

"You're no match for Elson!" Anna says in a low voice, "and (Y/N) would never marry you!"

"No," Hans replies, kneeling down. "You're no match for Elson. I, on the other hand, am the hero who will save Arendelle from destruction. And (Y/N) would, without a doubt, fall in love with me."

"Y-you won't get away with this," Anna watches him head to the door.

"Oh..." Hans tsks, "I already have."

He slams the door shut and locks it, leaving Anna alone. She gasps and grunts, trying to lift herself from the floor using a chair.

She rushes and stumbles to the door, trying to open it.

"Please... Someone, help!" Her voice was weak, "(Y/N)... Please..." She violently shivers and slumps into a ball against the door, her hair completely white and shining in the moonlight.

...

The nobles all speak indistinctly, some sitting and some pacing in concern.

"It's getting colder by the minute!" The Duchess complains.

"If we don't do something soon, we'll all freeze to death!" The Duke firmly says, slamming his hand on the table.

The door slowly opens, and a dazed Hans staggers in the room.

"Prince Hans!"

"P--Princess Anna is... Dead," Hans reveals, his face showing grief.

"What?" The Duke and Duchess gasp as the others all mumble. "What happened to her?"

"She was...," Hans manages out, staggering and sitting down. "Killed. By... King Elson."

"No!"

"His own sister?" Duchess mutters, shaking her head.

"At least we got to say our marriage vows..." The nobles watch in sadness at the grieving man. "Before she died in my arms..."

"There can be no doubt now," Duke breaks the silence. "King Elson is a monster. And we are all in grave danger."

"Prince Hans... Arendelle looks to you," a noble frenchman addresses.

"With a heavy heart... I charge King Elson of Arendelle... With treason. And sentence him to death."

...

Elson looks outside, his anxiety skyrocketing as he pants heavily. The storm outside seems to become stronger as he yanks at his chains.

The room begins to frost, and he gasps as a door opening echoes.

He frantically pulls at the chains when he hears people approaching, their footsteps somewhat staggering as a man gasps.

Elson grunts and pulls harder at the chains, the room completely frosting over.

"You! What are you two doing?" Elson jerks at a man yelling as a door slamming open echoes.

"He is dangerous!"

Elson strains against the chains with frantic whimpers.

...

"No... What are... You doing?!" (Y/N) weakly gasps, watching the soldiers try to open the door to Elson's cells, blades drawn as Kai holds her up.

"It won't open!" The guard yells, attempting to kick the door open.

"Your Highness, what is the meaning of this?" Kai demands, standing in front of the cell.

Hans shoves the man away with a grunt before raising his foot, slamming it against the door over and over.

"Hans, what--" (Y/N) starts before gasping in pain.

The room inside begins to tremble as the men continue banging against the door, ramming it open as the wall collapses.

"Elson!" (Y/N) shoves past the men, falling on the floor when she realizes he wasn't there.

Hans pushes past the men, growling in anger at the large hole in the wall Elson created.

(Y/N) quickly stands and takes off running down the hall, Kai yelling after her.

...

Kristoff slowly walks up a small hill, far away from Arendelle.

Sven trails behind him, whining softly when he looks back at the town. He grunts in determination before running in front of Kristoff, snorting.

"What is it, buddy?"

Sven shoves towards Kristoff, waving his antlers.

"Hey! Watch it!" Kristoff yelps, backing up. "What's wrong with you?"

Sven grunts and snorts, looking expectantly at Kristoff.

"... I don't understand you when you talk like that." He dismisses, trying to walk past.

Sven scoops him up in his antlers and Kristoff shrieks, "stop it! Put me down!"

Sven tosses him on the snow, moaning.

"No, Sven!!" Kristoff yells, standing. "We're not going back." Sven whines. "No one but Elson could save (Y/N). And Anna's with her true love!"

Sven makes a 'seriously?'  face, staring at Kristoff.

Kristoff sighs in sadness before gasping as the wind picks up a great deal, pushing him slightly.

He looks back in confusion, "what the...?"

A powerful storm begins to cover Arendelle, making his eyes widen.

"Guys!" Kristoff breathes out before racing forward, determined to get to Anna.

Sven races alongside him, and Kristoff leaps onto his back as he grunts.

"Come on, come on, boy!"
