Scattered Hearts (~The Big Four/Hiccelsa~)

Chapter 4 : Isolation

Elsa POV

I heard something like someone was hitting the ice floor of my castle. I thought it was the floor that started to crack which I need to fix it. But I was wrong as I heard someone groaned in pain.

"W-Who's there...?!" I asked but it didn't answer me so I came down there by the stairs to see what was going on.

When I was about to approach the door, my eyes widen in surprised as I saw a PERSON who just found my place where I was hiding from the world that fears me. I couldn't recognize him because he wore his helmet to cover his face.

"Who are you? How did you find me here?!" I asked with an angry tone demanding some answers.

He just stood there. Like a person who got froze by someone and he STARED at me which it's creepy to me. I don't know about this guy but the last time that I tried to approach someone was making everything a total mess or... chaos if I said so myself. It seemed that he wore some kind of an armor. I've never seen it before back on the day of my coronation before I froze everything up.

"S-Stay where you are...! Or I'll shoot you...!" I threatened him as I saw he was trying to move.

"Whoa, whoa, easy there, lady... I'm just here to ask you some questions, okay?" He tried to calm me down but that didn't work out for me.

"T-Take off your helmet...!" I demanded.

"All right... okay... here goes nothing." He took a deep breath before he did what I asked him to do.

The moment he took it off, I felt like I was dreaming. He had a brown shaggy hair, green-forest eyes that look gorgeous and he... he's so handsome. I never seen a man like him before. Wait. Did I just said that? What are you thinking, Elsa?! But still, I can't trust him. What if someone sent him to find me here? Or maybe he's here for a reasons, I suppose?

"See? I'm not what you think I am." He said.

"Who are you...?" This was the first question that usually popped in my mind when it comes to meet someone new.

"My name's Hiccup. I'm a dragon rider." He introduced himself.

So, he's a dragon rider. Wait a second. A DRAGON rider? There's no such thing like that in this land. I read some books about it when I was a little but I thought it was a myth. Was he telling the truth? More importantly, should I trust him? If only I had the power that can read people's minds. Instead, I was born with something that I couldn't even accept it.

"And... you are?" He asked for my name.

"W-Who sent you here...?!"

"You didn't answer my question." He protested.

"You need to leave... now. Leave me alone..." I simply walked away from him as I have nothing else to say to him.

"Wait. Hold on, I need to-" He couldn't finish his line because of a sound like an earthquake erupted the ice castle.

"W-What the-?!" He gasped in shocked.

"She's in here!! Find that sorceress!!" A rough voice was heard from outside which I soon recognised who it was. It's the men who were chasing me earlier. Oh, no. They'd found me...!

"You know those guys...?" He asked.

Before I could answer him, they already appeared from the entrance door where Hiccup walked in my castle. All I could see was their hideous glares filled with hatred that they were trying to kill me since the beginning. They loaded their crossbows with an arrow to make their shots.

"Whoa, whoa, what are you guys think you're doing...?!" Hiccup tried to ask them about the situation but they ignored him instead.

I ran upstairs to make my escape. I heard footsteps from the stairs and I thought it was them but guess what? It's the man who got here in the first place.

"Hey, mind if you tell me who they are...?!" He inquired as he running by the stairs to get to me. Man, he sure asked me a lot of questions which its really annoyed me.

"After them!!" One of the thugs ordered his partner to chase me.

As soon as they made it to the top floor of the castle, they evil grinned to us because there's no escape route for me to take. They thought too early. What they didn't know was that I built an emergency route in case if anything happens to this place and it DID happen eventually.

We both got surrounded by these lowlife men. They took their aim directly at our heads. They fired their first shots and I blocked it with an ice wall that I created while he did the same thing but with his fire sword. I can tell that he looked pretty surprised as he witnessed my deepest secret: the power of ice and snow. They did it again repeatedly until one of the arrows hit my arm really bad that cause it to bleed.

"You okay...?" He asked when he heard me yelled in pain.

"She's down! Finish them!!"

I cried in pain as I shed a tears in my eyes because I never feel anything like this before. There's one thing that always crossed in my mind whenever I'm end up like this: fears. Cold wind started to form along with the floor that was going to get cracked by any seconds. At the same time, the ice walls formed into multiple spikes that can penetrate someone who comes near. Then, a massive blizzards erupted that caused the men to flee. I couldn't resist the pain anymore which made my vision got blurry before I passed out.

Hiccup POV

The ice castle was going to get destroyed anytime soon. I couldn't believe my eyes as I just witnessed who was responsible for this. The ice, the spikes from the walls, and the blizzards. It's her doing. Queen Elsa. She was the one that caused everything in this land. The one that North was talking about. I did it. I finally found her. The men who were attacking us earlier had ran for their lives.

"Hey, wake up! Are you all right?" I shook her lightly who was laying on the ground with her arm bleeds.

I whistled to call Toothless. He appeared in a blink of an eye from the smokes. The ground floor got destroyed which only the top one remained where we were about to make an escape. By the time we got out, the entire castle had completely destroyed as I watched it from afar.

"I know you wouldn't let me down, bud." I patted his head for a praise before he smiled to me.

During our flight, I could hear her whimpered from my back that I placed her there. Her bleeds had stopped for awhile which I need to treat before it gets worse.

"No... please... stay away..." She mumbled in her sleep.

"Hey, it's gonna be okay..." I assured her.

To be honest, she still looked beautiful even in her condition like that. Her hair in a loosen braid that was swept over her shoulder. She's the most beautiful girl that I've seen in my whole life. Prettier than the other girls that I met before.
