Chapter 12

(warning violence involves)

cut through the heart, cold and clear.
Strike for love and strike for fear.
See the beauty, sharp and sheer
Split the ice apart
And break the frozen heart

Words echoing through his minds as puddle of bright red of crimson liquid on the floor . Hans pressed his head with both of his hand trying to cope those eerie chanting sound .

"Stop! Make it stop!"

From the narrow of his eyes, he realized blood sliding down from his forearm and bewildered that he was holding a dagger that had been coated with fresh blood. Hans instantly throw the dagger to aside and and saw a persons' wrist exposed from the pure white bed sheet that had stained with red color . He recognized that white leather bracelet .

"No… NO!"

Hans reach out his hand to that person with terrified look, hoping what he's about to witness is not real . He couldn't stand properly as fear drag him down but he fight it and finally manage to hold firmly the persons palm . He couldn't speak a word when he sees Elsa's paralyzed body, with one big wound stab from her chest. He felt something heavy on his head and sees his reflection from Elsa's mirror and seeing a golden crown and his normal auburn hair.

"Long live the king"

Tears starts to sliding down violently as he let out his loudest scream he ever make.

"ELSA!"

Hans widely awake from his worst nightmare as he tried to regain his consciousness. He dash inside the castle with heavily breath to make sure Elsa is safe. Along his way to the passageway, he bumps onto someone.

"Hey ! watch it !"

"Kristoff?"

Oh , Hans , what's up?" the golden blonde guy asked.

"did you see Elsa anywhere? I need to see her!"

"you need to see me?" Elsa's soft voice was heard inside the ballroom hall. Hans trails his green eyes to her . She is so beautiful in her royal bunad dress that once was worn by her late-mother with her platinum blonde braid on her side shoulder.

"It's nothing. I need to see you safe" he shrugged and forms a relief smile. Elsa returns his sincere smile.

"Ugh… so cheesy" Kristoff muttered with annoyance.

"Im here too , okay!" Anna suddenly jumps into scene and put her both hand around her small waist with pouty mouth. She is wearing her casual outfit in long sleeve and lovely greenish pinafore dress.

"I haven't finish my sentences yet. I need to see you safe too. All of you." Hans chuckled.

"wait , what brings you here, Kristoff?" He asked a curious question when he's aware on Kristoff casual attire. Not in his usual winter outfit.

"We were practicing dancing for this coming winter ball. Cause Anna loves to dance"

"I sure do !" Anna confirmed.

"But Anna…." Kristoff starts to have a small quarrel with his Anna at the background.

"You should come to the ball , Hans" Elsa invites him out of the blue , making him surprise for seconds and nodded happily. He never thought of attending a ball since her coronation day. He bends his posture to respect her invitation . His expression changes when he noticed no white bracelet are attached on Elsa's wrist.

"Els—"

"Oh! It's time ! come on Elsa ! the towns people is waiting for us" Anna grabs her sister's hand and stroll by the corridor leaving two guys inside the hall clueless .

"Remember practicing those moves, Kristoff ! Feel the music ~~!"

"I can't practice this alone Anna !" Kristoff runs to the open door. Hans just stood there awkwardly as he decides to make an escape.

"Well, I should g—"

"who says you're alone ? You have Hans there. He's good at any dance move."

"WHAT?!" both of the guys yelled. From afar, they could hear Anna's mischievous giggle.
