Heated Ice (Helsa)

Chapter 116:

Hans rode atop his horse, climbing the mountain fast and once he saw Elsa's horse tied in to the ice stable he panicked at what could've been happening. He had Alan look for her at the honeymoon house and left to go to the ice castle.

The confrontation with his father never was able to happen. After Elsa left the dining room Henry felt weird about how she left and how she was going to take a nap in the evening. He quickly grabbed Laila and left the room, leaving the castle quickly to go find her. When Hans and Alan noticed they were leaving on horses Hans felt it deep in his gut to leave and have Alan and Hans separate.

"Elsa!" Hans yelled and ran up the ice stairs, cautious of falling off of the staircase like he almost did before. He pushed open the doors and saw Henry standing there smugly at the door to go upstairs.

"She's dead." Henry said, holding his crossbow then dropped it to the ground. He unsheathed his swords and watched as Hans took slow, cautious steps towards the stairs. "Well, she's actually dying as we speak."

"What did you do to her?!" Hans yelled and Laila came rushing down the stairs, almost slipping on the ice.

"I told you we should have hurried this! She's still alive." Laila said and made quick eye contact with Hans then looked to Henry.

"Let's go." Henry muttered and grabbed Laila's hand, turning away from Hans and ran up the stairs to where Elsa laid unconscious and still bleeding. She would be dead in minutes at the rate of her bleeding and freezing at the same time.

"No." Hans muttered and ran through the castle, climbing up through the stairs and saw Henry standing over Elsa where she laid limp and the blood stained the beautiful crystal blue floor. "Elsa." He whispered and felt tears burn in his eyes.

"She tried to protect herself. She was weak from this pregnancy. Now," Henry said and stepped away from Elsa. "I'm going to rule Arendelle. I can kill you both and claim the throne for my own with Anna being away." Henry smiled and that made Hans' anger boil.

"How could you hurt her?! She's a pregnant, innocent woman! She'd never hurt anyone." Hans said, not breaking eye contact with his father but watched where Laila was walking in his peripheral vision.

"She's blocking my plan to rule Arendelle. It's not that hard of a concept. You've tried killing her before. How could you do that?" Henry asked and Hans flinched in response. He was right. Hans did try to kill Elsa but that was before when he was angry and desperate for attention, desperate for attention from this man who was now a monster. "I have to kill you now. You're the only other person in the way."

"I'll fight you, and I can assure you I'll win. I'll win for Elsa." Hans snapped and readied his sword, holding it firmly then watched as Laila pulled her knife out. "No," He said to Laila then looked to Henry. "This is between us. No Laila, nothing but our swords."

"Fair enough." Henry shrugged and looked to Laila. "Sit and watch, pet. This will be over soon." Henry said and without hesitation or a warning he lunged forward and tried to attack Hans straight to his chest. Hans quickly stepped aside and watched as Henry stumbled forward, making sure to let him make the first move. He quickly tried again to attack Hans in his stomach but Hans evaded, moving quickly out of the way. "So, you're going to dodge the whole time?" Henry asked, pushing loose hair aside. "Didn't Alan teach you how to fight?"

"I'm not going to make small talk. I want to fight." Hans said and in his head he added, and save Elsa as quickly as possible.

Henry walked left, his head bowed down but he still clung tight to his sword. Hans walked in the opposite direction, watching him closely but also made sure to listen if Laila would move. Neither of them were in their right state of mind. Hans decided on avoiding all of his attacks since he knew most of them were quick and erratic, using much of his energy so he'd tire quickly and Hans could make the final attack.

"You know... I don't remember teaching your brother to avoid the fight. I remember teaching him to actually fight, to take it head on." Henry said, still having his head down then looked up. His eyes were so cold, no love was there. Not even for Laila, she was even a pawn in his game. Henry made a tsk sound and shook his head. "I wish you would just fight. It's not hard." He said and lunged over at Hans, making a quick, hard lunge at Hans side and felt his sword slice through his side. Hans grasped his side but quickly went back to a defensive stance, knowing that if he was holding his side too long that Henry could strike again.

"I need to end this." Hans said, feeling his blood running down his side and could see it staining his shirt. "Please, she's dying." He said and looked at Elsa briefly, but it was too long and Henry slammed into Hans, pushing him to the ground. Hans didn't even think about it or realized what happened until he saw the life being drained out of his father's eyes and body. Hans looked down wide eyed and saw his sword coming through his father's body, he quickly pushed his body off of him and pulled his sword out, holding back tears. He was still a monster but he was his father, half of what created Hans but what kept Hans collected was seeing Elsa lie on the ground.

Hans quickly ran over to Elsa and cut the rope off of her hands, freeing her and brought her up to his chest and held her bridal style. He didn't care about the blood staining his shirt or the blood from his father, he needed to get her somewhere safe so a nurse could help her hands.

"Elsa?" Hans whispered down to her. He quickly ran through the castle, brought her up onto his horse and held her against his chest. For Hans this was all déjà vu, he brought her down from the ice castle when she passed out three years ago. Now he was bringing her out unconscious but thankfully she was still living. "Elsa?" He tried again but she was still unconscious and was still losing more blood.

He brought his horse to a sprint, making sure to hold her tight to his chest, and saw Arendelle coming closer and closer into view. Once they exited the forest he rode through the dark streets and up to the castle gates, running through them and brought himself and Elsa off.

"Please, someone help!" He yelled. Four guards came rushing up to him, seeing all the blood and immediately became queasy. "Please, rush her up to the nurse. She's losing so much blood. I need to go back for the killer." He said and the guards nodded, one of them brave enough to take her in his arms then inside while Hans mounted his horse.

"Your Majesty, would you like us to come too?" A guard asked and Hans nodded.

"Please, the three of you come." He said to the remaining three and watched as the other took Elsa inside. At this point he didn't know if she would make it but he had too much hope to think negatively about her state. Once the guards were on horses Hans kicked his heels against his own horse and rode fast through Arendelle with the guards trailing fast behind him.

A/N: I'm honestly so sorry I have to stop it right here. I don't have the next chapter ready but I promise I'll update next sunday. :)
