THE ROYALS

Chapter 3: Headquarters

The four new recruits were seated around a long oval table in the command room. The pilot who had picked them up had lead them to this room. The pilot's identity was still a mystery. She had told them to wait there and disappeared out through a door.

Another mystery was their location. None of them had an idea where they were. Elsa looked around at her companions. Anna looked anxious, gnawing at her bottom lip. Rapunzel couldn't keep still. She kept shifting in her chair, tapping her feet. The girl with the wild red hair looked absolutely bored.

Rapunzel, being the ball of excessive energy that she was, started humming. That cut a nerve for Merida. No one had spoken a word during the journey, and so Merida didn't know anyone's name. But, in spite of that, she knew they were going to be a nuisance. Especially the brown haired one.

"Cut it out!", Merida snapped at Rapunzel. Rapunzel stopped immediately, surprised by Merida's outburst.

"You don't need to be rude! She's nervous! Just like the rest of us!", Anna intervened.

"Nervous? Me? Please! I'm rather disappointed that I'm stuck with you weaklings", Merida retorted.

"Don't you dare talk about my sister that way!", Elsa exclaimed, frost appearing around edge of the table where her hand was placed. "Elsa, no!", Anna whispered, trying to calm her sister down.

Merida looked at the frost formed around Elsa's hand. Realisation dawned on her. "So you are the freak who froze her Kingdom!", she exclaimed. Elsa rose to her feet, her annoyance displayed on her face. Anna was trying to get her to sit back down.

Rapunzel came to Elsa's defence. "At least she didn't turn her own mother into a bear! Who could be that stupid?", Rapunzel snapped. Merida looked at her with surprise. "How did you know that?", she gasped.

Rapunzel sniggered. "Only someone from the Highlands would be this rude. And have such wild hair. Do you even condition it?", Rapunzel asked sarcastically. Before anyone could bat an eyelid, Merida had launched herself onto Rapunzel, knocking her off her chair. The two lay on the ground, scratching and hitting each other. Merida cursed the fact the she had forgotten the bow on the aircraft. She could have blasted this bitch's head by now if she had her bow. Elsa rushed forward to break the fight.

"Get of her, carrot top!", Anna screamed.

"Stay out of it, Anna! Let me handle it"

"Don't tell me what to do, Elsa! You don't need to show your authority everywhere you go! You don't rule all the kingdoms!"

"What? Don't bring our fight into this, Anna!"

"Then don't patronise me!"

"I have every right to do so. I am your elder sister!"

"Stop it!", the fifth, much louder voice boomed. All four of them looked up, their arguments forgotten. Three women stood at the other end of the table. One of them, who stood in the middle, was the one who had shouted. She was short and petite, but had an athletic frame. So did the other two. They were extremely beautiful, but had a dangerous air to them, that made it seem like they could kill someone with their bare hands.

"Stop fighting this instant. I want you back in your seats. If anyone disobeys, they will be kicked off the agency immediately", the Middle one commanded. "Now let me introduce myself. I am Snow White."

The four new recruits gasped.

"You're Snow White?", Anna gasped. Of course, the resemblance was impeccable. Pale skin, raven hair, blood red lips and big blue eyes.

"The Snow White?"

"The one with skin as pale as snow, hair as dark as a raven and lips as.."
