Hey I'm back after one month and one week. Sorry for the really long wait. Don't get mad at me now because I have three honest truths to tell you first. 1. I was piled up with homework. 2. Exams are around the corner so my updates are going to take even longer, maybe, maybe not. And last but not least...(Drum roll)...today is my Birthday and I really wanted to spend it with you all, you all are like a second family to me. :)

Anyhow, here's chapter 9. Enjoy. :D

Chapter 9 Time to fight back

Elsa, Anna and their parents sat somewhere close to the shoreline of the beach while Hans, Marie and the guards sat around a campfire further away from them.

"Why aren't fighting back?" Anna asked. Everyone stayed quiet, "Are you scared of them?"

"No." Elsa said.

"I'm not scared of them." Agdar said, Idun didn't answer and everyone looked at her.

"Mama are you scared of them?" Elsa asked.

"I don't know." Idun said.

"How can you not know?" Anna asked and Idun shrugged and muttered something.

"You said something Mama?" Elsa asked.

"No." Idun said.

"Oh, okay."

"Let's fight back." Anna spoke up.

"What?" Elsa, Idun and Agdar said at the same time.

"I said let's fight back, we have better chances of getting away from them than staying here with them." Anna said.

"How?" Elsa asked.

"Well, your powers, you are stronger than all of them. Even by yourself, if we can fight our way out of here then we wouldn't have to be attacked almost all the time when it's unnecessary." Anna said.

"I know I said I'm not scared of them but I don't like to hurt anyone with my powers and you know that." Elsa said.

"I know but I didn't say you have to hurt them, just trap them in something or some other thing. I think Papa and Mama might be better with fighting them. Right Papa?" Anna said but got no response. Anna looked in the direction of her father and saw him sleeping on the ground along with Idun next to him doing the same.

"Let's get some sleep." Elsa suggested.

"How can we even sleep on the ground, how can they sleep on the ground. It's not comfy like a bed." Anna said.

"Well they were stranded on an island for three years so sleeping on the ground is nothing to them compared to us." Elsa said.

"Night Elsa." Anna said as she laid down and turned so that her back was facing Elsa.

"Night Anna." Elsa lied down next to her and drifted off to sleep.

About an hour later, Marie and Hans walked over to Elsa and her family.

"They look so peaceful." Marie said.

"Should we?" Hans asked.

"We should but who should we take? Anna?" Marie asked.

"Nuh uh, she can throw a mean punch, trust me I got one already." Hans said.

"Idun?"

"Would she fight back? She did the first time we attacked her but we should still take her indeed." Hans smirked.

"Agreed." Marie said. So that night Marie and Hans called two guards to tie Idun's hands and feet together and Marie gagged her mouth. They carried her deep in the forest and left her there with Jackson.

"If she wakes up, don't let her leave. I'll be back tomorrow to give her a piece of my mind and it's not the good one." Marie said.

"Sure you can trust me." Jackson said and watched Marie, Hans and the other guard leaves. Once they left Jackson muttered something to himself. "Why did I ever want to be a guard if I knew these things are going to happen?"

The next morning Idun awoke and realized that she wasn't on the beach anymore, she was in the forest but she couldn't tell which part of the forest she was. She tried to move but realized that her hands and feet were tied up and then she noticed that she had been gagged. She looked up and saw a figure walking towards her. Idun tried to back away but she couldn't because a tree was behind her.

"I'm not going to hurt you." The figure said. Idun looked at the figure closely and recognized the figure as Jackson.

"Jackson?" She said but it came out muffled since her mouth was gagged. Jackson wondered why Marie would want to hurt her. Idun didn't look like someone who would try to get to be Queen of Arendelle before her. It was just an accident that made her became Queen. Even when he attacked her years ago, she wasn't even fighting back. Jackson hoped whatever plan Marie had planned, it doesn't involve in killing an innocent family. Jackson took off the bounds on her hands, feet and undid the gag on her mouth and helped her up. He held her wrist tight so that she wouldn't get away.

"Hey, look at me, I said I wouldn't hurt you and that's a promise." Jackson said, Idun looked him in the eyes to see if he was lying but he wasn't. Just then a loud, ear-piercing scream came out of nowhere and almost deafened Jackson and it almost gave Idun a heart attack.

Anna and Elsa awoke and sat up; they looked around until their eyes fell on the empty space between their father and them.

"Elsa, where's Mama?" Anna asked.

"I don't know, Papa wake up." Elsa said as she poked Agdar in his stomach.

Agdar blinked a few times until his eyes got adjusted to the light. "Huh?"

"Where's Mama?" Anna asked again. Agdar looked around before he muttered something incoherent. He looked down on the ground and saw footprints in the sand.

"Something happened last night." Agdar said. Elsa and Anna followed his gaze until they were staring at the footprints too.

"Marie." Elsa breathed out.

"True, she always likes to threaten and hurt Mama, why? I do not know." Anna said.

"Maybe this was their plan. Torturing Mama so that we would have no choice but to give them the throne and then they'll execute us one by one whenever they are ready." Elsa said.

"Let's go ask Marie, I am positive she was the one who did this." Anna suggested and everyone nodded. They walked over to her tent.

"Marie‼" Elsa and Anna shouted.

"What‼ I have better things to do that…hello there prisoners. Aren't you missing someone? Oh yeah, where's the coward cat?" Marie said.

"Didn't you do something to her?" Anna asked.

"I don't know." Marie shrugged. Anna knew she was lying, Marie loved to hurt her mother whether it was on purpose or not but there wasn't a not at all. Anna grabbed the collar of Marie's dress and yanked her up off the ground.

"You're lying!" Anna spat.

"I know I am lying but next time say it and don't spray it." Marie hid a smirk; Anna growled and flung her across the beach. "Oh so you all want to fight then." Marie growled and cracked her knuckles and called her guards. They came out and their crossbows and swords ready to fight

"This just shows how weak you are!" Elsa yelled out.

"Why are you saying that?" Marie asked.

"Because you can't fight like how any of us will do and if you can fight, maybe you are a coward. Fight or maybe you can't." Anna mocked, at that same time Marie punched Anna, sending her to the ground.

"Anna!" Elsa yelled then looked in Marie's direction. Elsa said the next five words in a low and dark voice, "You are going to pay." Elsa raised her hand in Marie's direction and launched an icicle at Marie's shoulder. Marie let out the most blood-curling, spine tingling, ear-splitting or ear-piercing scream. Did I mention it was really, really, really loud?

"Look Idun, I don't know where that scream came from but I think it is best for us to find somewhere to stay okay." Jackson said. Idun nodded, she waited until Jackson released her wrist to punch him in his stomach. Jackson dropped on the ground and clutched his stomach.

"Idun?" He groaned and sat up. Jackson looked around and realized that she left. "Marie's going to kill me."

Idun ran through the forest trying to navigate her way back to the beach. The wind whipped at her face and branches scraped her skin but she didn't stop to check any. All she wanted was to get away from Jackson and find her way back to the beach. Idun finally made it to the beach, she looked around and her eyes fell on Anna and Elsa who were fighting Marie and Agdar who was fighting the guards. In less than a minute, Idun ran over to Marie, tackled her to the ground and started choking her.

"You know….you're….kind of….not….a coward." Marie rasped out and looked at Idun.

"Shut up." Idun growled.

"But also….you're….a bit….clueless." Marie said. Idun raised a brow but didn't remove her hands from Marie's throat. Idun noticed when Marie pulled out a dagger from the pocket of her dress, Idun grabbed Marie hand.

"I see what you are doing, nice try." Idun said. Marie used the remaining strength she had in her body and pushed Idun off of her. She took in one large breath and released it. When Marie felt her strength coming back, she kicked Idun further away from her and grabbed the dagger.

Idun groaned and sat up, before she could've done anything, Marie attacked her and pinned her down to the ground. Marie held up the dagger and positioned it over Idun. Idun tried to break free from Marie grip when she saw the dagger over her. Elsa, Anna and Agdar saw this but they couldn't've done anything, even if they tried or they did, Marie would kill her.

"I should've done this sooner." Marie growled then plunged the dagger into Idun.

"Mama‼"

Giving you cliffhangers on my birthday? I am that evil. (Laughs) I'm kidding, I really had no other way to end it, honest.

Next chapter should be around Crystal's side of the story.

See ya around the next chapter. :P
