Chapter 17

Elsa looked on horrified as Ayla lay utterly motionless with the icicle imbedded into her heart. She sprinted through the castle and through the front doors to where Ayla lay ‘you murderess witch, you shall rot in hell for this’ a furious young man snarled when Elsa got close enough to Ayla. ‘As your Queen I order you to step aside and let me near my sister’ Elsa’s voice dripped with authority but the man wouldn’t listen to her ‘and if you continue to disobey my orders I will have you imprisoned’ this got his attention. His shoulders slumped in defeat as he took a step to the side to make a pathway for her ‘thank you’ Elsa began walking through the pathway towards Ayla. She fell to her knees by her side and whispered ‘please Ayla, I can’t lose you as well. I’m so sorry’ a single tear fell from Elsa’s eyes and landed on Ayla’s closed ones.

‘You didn’t think you could get rid of me that easily did you’ Ayla murmured as she regained consciousness and opened her eyes to look at Elsa who was still weeping above her. ‘Oh Ayla, thank goodness you’re alright’ Elsa rejoiced throwing her arms around Ayla’s neck and hugging her tightly before realisation hit her and she pulled away ‘but the icicle…’ she gestured towards Ayla’s heart. ‘Fire destroys ice’ Ayla explained flatly motioning towards the melting ice ‘it never went through my skin it melted upon contact’ she then rose to her feet and towered above Elsa who remained on her knees looking up at her.

‘Princess Ayla’ a middle aged woman gasped to which Ayla turned around to face her only to see that the woman had a horrified expression on her face whilst pointing to Ayla’s chest. Ayla looked down and saw that her chest was glowing a sky blue colour. ‘What have you done to me!’ Ayla cried in genuine distress ‘I… a… I…’ Elsa stuttered ‘you froze my heart Elsa. I’m going to die just the way papa did… you’re a murderer and a monster’ Ayla threw numerous fireballs and burning embers at Elsa which she dodged quickly until one hit her right eye ‘you are to die like papa and I am to go blind like him as well’ she hissed whilst throwing at her sister.

Suddenly a man leapt between them and raised his arms to stop the Queen and Princess from using their powers. ‘Dr Loberg?’ Elsa whispered in recognition.
