Third chance at love

I don't know how to feel

Sigrid and Lucy's time in the frozen castle. Lucy wanders around the ice statues in the gardens. Sigrid is reminded of her little sister when they were young.

The cold mouldy-smelling cell was enough to make Lucy's stomach turn like a spinning table. She hadn't eaten since she left the castle but the horrid smell that invaded her nostrils was enough to distract her mind from food. But when minutes turned into hours it only became harder not to think about. Curled up on the floor she grasped her stomach as it grumbled loudly. Waiting for the Snow Queen to return had become torture. She sat on the cold frosty floor as the dampness soaked into her clothes left her already blue hands shivering and her breath felt like ice cubes on her lips. 

The Snow Queen required her warm clothes but it was pointless. Pulling her coat tighter to her body wasn't enough to generate the needed heat she longed for. The cell the horrid woman had left her in didn't have anything she could use as a blanket. It was completely barren. Wasn't sure how much she could take but she was sure if she waited any longer she would turn into a block of ice herself. 

Hearing her cell door open she hadn't even noticed the sharp footsteps echoing down the hall toward her. The Snow Queen had returned but the look on the woman's face revealed something bad had happened. She wasn't sure how long she had been in the icy castle but it was longer to know the woman in front of her had serious mood swings. 

"Get up!" The stern command made Lucy sigh. She was tired and her legs weren't able to move without shivering uncontrollably. Slowly, pushing herself up with the help of the stone-cold wall behind her Lucy tried to keep her balance. " Your family is pathetic. Why would they want to rescue you...Look at you." Snow Queen sneered at her. 

"At least I have a family" Lucy stuttered. The Queen's horrible words had a nasty talent finding their way to her heart. 

The Snow Queen grinned at her. Enjoying the pain she was experiencing. "It won't be long before you turn into my ice statue. Becoming a part of my wonderful collection." The woman said as she pulled her white hair from her face. Every nerve and muscle was aching but she wanted nothing more than set the horrid woman a light. To make the woman pay for her horrid behaviour. 

"I thought you need me alive?" 

The Snow Queen's grin turned quickly into a frown. "That was before I found out what the Shadow-man has in store for me." Lucy looked confused but the Snow Queen didn't elaborate.  

"He's going to kill you!"

"Not if I kill him first!" The Woman shrieked. Lucy winced at the loud noise. Moving away from the woman, bumping her back on the stone-cold wall.

" Follow me." The Snow Queen demanded but Lucy stood put. "Now!"

Sliding back onto the damp floor Lucy pulled her knees to her chest. " I'm not going anywhere with you." 

The Snow Queen wasted no time grabbing Lucy's arm. Effortlessly pulling her out of the cell and down the corridors. She was weak and how she managed to put one foot down after the other was a miracle. The icy grip made goosebumps appear all over her arm. Not a single piece of warmth existed within the woman. Dragging her up a flight of stairs they finally reached a room. 

Lucy's eyes almost fell from her head at the sight of the table full of food. She could smell the aroma from where she was standing, making her stomach grumble once again.

"I know you're hungry, however, the question is will I let you eat?" Watching the Snow Queen take a seat at the table she began filling her plate with delicious foods. Torturing her as she stood on the other end of the room.
