Captain Swan: Protection

Chapter 2

Killian's POV

I wanted to take a look at the ice wall, see if there was a way around it.  When I got there, I saw Elsa trying to use her powers on it.  It was obvious she was trying to take it down and that she was exhausted.

"Good day, having any luck with the wall?"  She turned around startled.

"No. But I'm not giving up."  With that she turned around and raised her hands again.

"Have you thought about the possibility that the wall doesn't surround the entire land?  Maybe there's a section that the wall isn't blocking.  Or perhaps where the ice is thinner."  I said before she started trying again.

She turned around and looked at me.  "I hadn't considered that, but it is possible.  I'll start looking, but first."  She raised her hands and made a giant snow monster like the one we faced before, which did concern me, until she spoke to it.

"Try and get through the wall.  If anyone asks where I am tell them that I'm checking to see how far the wall spreads and point them in my direction.  Do not attack anyone."

With that, Elsa started walking into the woods and I decided to join her.  Her monster started trying to smash the wall, but I don't think that will work.  

"What are you doing?  I'm perfectly capable of examining the wall on my own."

"I know, but I'd like to, examine, it myself.  Also, you look like you could use company."  I still didn't exactly like her.

"You don't trust me.  I can't blame you.  After what's happened, I'm sure I'd feel the same way.  But know that I don't trust you either.  You are a pirate."  She said pointedly.

"Yes, one of my many qualities.  But I'm a man of honor, not like most pirates.  Besides, I've changed a bit.  Not as bad as I once was."  I smiled and she studied me for a moment.

"You love Emma.  She is a wonderful person.  And love can bring out the best in people."  She said as she looked at the wall.

Suddenly I heard a noise a little ways up.  I looked at Elsa and she heard it to.  We snuck up to where we heard the noise and hid behind a fallen tree.

I saw a woman in long white dress with her blonde hair in a bun.  Her back was to us so we couldn't see her face.  She raised her hand and a small ice palace appeared.  She made adjustments to it and studied it and made more adjustments.

"A friend of yours?"  I whispered to Elsa.

"I've never seen her before, or anyone with powers like mine."  Elsa seemed fixated on the woman.

"Maybe she put the wall up and that's why you can't take it down."  After studying the woman for another minute, I said "Come on, we should tell Emma."  I know that Elsa trusts her.

We quietly moved and started sneaking away, but then my feet stopped moving and got cold.  I looked down and saw that they were covered in ice.

"I'm sorry.  But I'm afraid I can't let you leave."  A female voice said from behind me.

I turned around and saw the woman in white lowering her hand.  "What?"  I asked.

Elsa walked towards her.  "Let go of him now."  She ordered.

The woman walked towards Elsa.  "Not when you and I have so much catching up to do...my sweet Elsa."  The woman walked past Elsa.

"Catching up?"  I looked from Elsa to the woman and then back at Elsa.  "Wait you know her?"  Why did she tell me she didn't?  Are they working together?
