The Viking & The Queen [Hiccelsa] [Book 1] EDITED

Chapter 12

HICCUP

I stand in the corner as Elsa paced back and forth on the top floor. She looks mad. "Conceal, don't feel!" she hisses. "Don't feel!" she yells.

She continues to pace back and forth madly. "Keep it together! Control yourself!" She then looks to me. "Hiccup, I can't do this anymore." She whines. The walls start to crack around. The colour of the wall changes from it's icy blue to a blood red. Icy spikes come down around us. Elsa stands in the centre of them. "What's happening?" she asked.

"Your powers react to your feelings... This castle is made of magic so it reflects you're feeling."

"How'd you know that?" She asked. I shrugged my shoulders. She grunts madly then begins to pace again. I hate seeing her upset.

"Elsa, just relax." I go to her slowly. "Listen. Everything's okay. Just don't think. It's not about concealing and not feeling." She looks at me calmly.

"Are you sure?"

"Positive."

"... Okay..." She calms a little taking my hand.

"Now c'mon. You need some rest." I tell her leading her to a different room.

ANNA

The Northern Lights are bright. Olaf stares at them in awe as he rides on Sven's back. "Look, Sven. The sky's awake." Olaf told him. Sven snorts his answer.

I can't believe she left me for him. I don't even know who he is. And I can't believe she hit me with her powers! Am I not important anymore? Does she care for Hiccup more than me!?

I walk close to Kristoff. I don't know where he's taking me but it better come soon. I continue walking then shiver. "Are you cold?" He asked.

"... A little."

He reaches like he might put an arm around me, but decides against it. He looks around as if he doesn't know what to do, then gets a thought. "Wait. Come here." He takes my hand and pulls her around a bend into a rock-lined pass. Steam vents, powered by the volcanic activity, dot the path. He holds my hands over one of them.

"Oooh... That's nice." I whisper.

We continue on the path, walking from vent to vent. "So, do you think she meant to hit you?" Kristoff suddenly asked.

"... I don't know. She's been distracted..." I say.

"What do you mean?"

"Well at her coronation, she met some guy... Hiccup. And all her attention went to him." I start madly. "So she decides to run away from her kingdom locking it in eternal winter and runs off with this guy! I mean, where did he even come from? He just showed up like that!" I continue then settle down.

I look at Kristoff. "So when do we get to your friends?" I ask.

"Soon." He looks at me then takes a deep breath. "So, about my friends..." He starts. "Well, I say, friends, they're more like family... Anyway, when I was a kid, it was just me and Sven... Until they took me in."

"They did?" I asked, moved.

"Yeah. I don't want to scare you, they can be a little bit inappropriate..." He starts rambling again. "And loud... Very loud... They're also stubborn at times, and a little overbearing. And heavy. Really, really heavy. But they're fine... You'll get it. They mean well."

I touch Kristoff's arm, reassuringly. "Kristoff, they sound wonderful," I say sweetly.

Kristoff smiles, appreciating my sincerity."Okay then...." Mustering the courage, Kristoff steps forward and with a wave of the arms. "Meet my family!"

"Hey, guys!" Kristoff starts to greet the rocks.

As Kristoff and Sven move through the rocks, waving and greeting, Olaf and I stand frozen, dumbfounded. "... They're rocks."
