Love Everlasting {Helsa}

The Dungeon

I couldn't help but look at him in disgust, why oh why did he have to stay here? I dismiss my thoughts and usher the guards to follow me.

It seemed it only took me a short while to arrive at the fjord, but the travel back seems everlasting. My head throbs and my body feels weak, I have the urge to glance back, but I don't have the courage. I can't stand to look at the man, who only a day ago seemed harmless, but was deadly. We finally arrive at the gate and my thoughts wonder back to the task at hand. I turn towards the guards and the traitor, yet I only make eye contact with the guards.

"I want you to throw him in the dungeon and put two guards at post! Make sure he is under supervision unless I say otherwise, do I make myself clear?"

The guards bow in understanding. "Yes, your majesty."

"Wait!" My eyes widen in shock, the traitor has just spoken. The nerve!

"What makes you think you have any right to talk?" I know I may sound cold, but this man almost took my kingdom, and the only family I have, he's unforgivable!

"I'm human, I have a right." I scoff at his response. He looks up at me with a glare. "Oh, I'm sorry, your highness! I didn't mean to make you choke." He grins at his remark, but I find it awfully annoying.

"You didn't, and no you have no right! You are under the custody of Arendelle, which means you are in custody of Arendelle's ruler. Also, I happen to be ruler of Arendelle..." I begin to step towards him, the guards give me disapproving glances, but I ignore them. "Do you know what that means, pretty boy?" I grab him by his collar and bring him face to face with me. "You are under my authority, and as long as you are under my authority, you are nothing! Got it!?" My face is bright red, my anger has gotten the best of me.

I release him. "Any last words before my guards escort you to your new home?"

He looks at me with amusement and smiles.

"You think I'm pretty?"

That's it! "Away with him!" I yell. The guards obey and begin to drag him towards the dungeons. How dare he?

My head begins to throb even more and all this anger has exhausted me.

Why have I let this man get to me? He's worthless! I immediately shun myself, why be so rude? Sure, he has done something terrible, yet everyone makes mistakes. We're all human after all... I suddenly recall what he had said.

I'm human...

What am I thinking? Maybe I had been too quick to judge... No! He deserves my mistreatment.

I can't stand to think about this anymore. I begin to walk towards the castle entrance and to the dining hall, I haven't eaten all day.

Once I arrive at the dining hall, I sit and order lunch with the maid. As the meal is being prepared I sit in complete silence... alone. My mind drifts to Anna, I feel truly awful for running off like that, I hadn't meant to be so rude. I was in shock, who wouldn't be after discovering that a traitor would have to be in the same kingdom as you. It's truly frightening. Also, I have to work on my manners. I've spent most of my life behind closed doors, with nobody but my... father.

He had taught me everything I know, he had tried so hard to make me feel normal and he even tried to help me conceal myself. When I received the news that my parents were lost at sea... it tore me apart. I couldn't understand why this had happened to me, but there's never been any real explanation.

My meal arrives and I eat in silence. There's no one to speak with anyway. After completing my meal, I decide to go and find Anna. As children, we were close, yet when I became too dangerous to be around... I shut her out. I did it to protect her, but who knew protection could lead to something as drastic as having to never speak or see your sister for fifteen years?
