The Thief

A Trap

*~*Elsa's P.O.V*~*

"Rise and shine Elsie!" Olaf chimes, he shakes me gently.

"Go away..." I reply sluggishly. Olaf chuckles a little.

"Don't you want breakfast?" He asks holding a plate full of berries and eggs towards me. I smile.

"Thank you Olaf." I grab the plate careful not to let any of the berries roll off onto the dirty wooden floor.

I begin stuffing the eggs into my mouth not even thinking about being polite. I finish within minutes and smile as Olaf takes the plate from me. "Thank you."

"Anything for a friend like you!" He chirps as he hugs me, in his embrace I feel safe and warm. But I don't feel a spark, not like I feel towards Jack.

I stand up and wipe off my light blue dress, it's dirty and ripped but it's what I have and it's better then nothing. I grab my cloak from the side of my tiny bed and swing it around my shoulders, placing the hood over my head.

"Where are you going?" Olaf asks, he gives me a stern look as if he knows why I'm going to do.

"Please Elsa, your eventually going to get caught and the queen will kill you!" He pleads.

I huff loudly "Olaf, I have no money and you have barely anything. How do you expect to survive?! It's either steal or die. And I am surely not gonna die." I reply sternly.

Without another word I turn on my heel and hurry out the door. I wish I didn't have to steal but in this situation it's mandatory.

I walk in silence, listening to the birds chirping and wind whipping through the dead tree's branches. I begin to hear the chatter of people and I know I'm getting close to the village.

People hurry past obviously busy, they pay no attention to me. I glide down the cobblestone ground looking for anything that I need. Suddenly my attention is drawn to a stand, the sign reads 'Free Food'.

I hurry towards it as a smile grows on my face, how perfect! Free food is exactly what I need, no stealing involved.

"Why hello!" An old woman coos, "would you like any food?" She gestures to the food in front of her.

"Yes please." I say beginning to reach for a piece of bread, making sure to keep my head down.

"What beautiful hair you have sweet child." The woman compliments. "It looks as if it was made of snow itself."

"Thank you." I reply quickly.

As I begin to reach for another piece of food the woman jumps forward and yanks my hood back. "WHAT ARE Y-" I begin.

"I'VE GOT HER!" The woman screams , two guards grab my from behind.

"Get off of me!" I scream trying to reach for my sword but the guards are too strong.

I glare at the woman, she smiles wickedly. Olaf was right! I shouldn't have come here.

"GET OFF! LET GO!" I thrash more as we grow nearer to the palace.

"Shut up and stop thrashing, it's no use. no one is going to save you." The guard hisses.

He's right! No one is going to save me, no one would want to save a thief. Tears begin to burn my eyes as I realize no one is coming for me.

I remain silent the rest of the trip. Soon enough I'm inside the palace walls being dragged to my certain demise.
