Summary: Elsa sent Anna and Aren away to live life to the fullest. Elsa went alone to face the consequences of their actions. What will happen to Elsa? Let's find out in the final chapter of NARK.

It took several hours for the cab to fly to the Castle. Her arm was aching and her throat was still sore. The cabby stared at her for a solid minute before realizing that she had a Ward of the State mark on her face. Then he couldn't hear her at all until she felt like she was screaming at the top of her lungs before more than a whisper came out. Finally he got the idea and started driving. She was able to see her reflection in the pane of glass that separated her from the cabby and what a sight she was. Her eyes were swollen and blood shot from crying, her throat was black and yellow from one side to the next and finally her bandaged shoulder appeared to have bleed into the fabric of her dress uniform as she hadn't changed it or re-medi gelled it recently.

She would probably cause quite the stir walking into the Castle in such a state. She didn't care what anyone thought any more though. She would take Anna's spot in the execution chamber and die happily knowing that she and Aren were out living.

When she walked into the doors of the Castle the usual appearance of the all seeing Eye floating above all else. She walked up to the desk and placed her identity card under the light the man that was sitting behind the desk just stared at her. She gave him a slight half smile which shocked him out of his bewilderment. He looked down at the holo that showed her information and then it flashed. "The Knight Commander is expecting you."

"I figured he would be," Elsa whispered as she pulled her identity card out and headed towards the elevator. She had only once before met the Knight Commander in his office. Most other times he came to meet her at the landing pad or via holo. The elevator ride was quick and when the doors opened she once again was greeted by a Ward of the State sitting behind a desk. This was an elderly woman with silver hair and wrinkles on her face, but the mark on her face was still clear as day.

"He will see you," the woman spoke plainly and Elsa just walked by her. The door opened just seconds before she ran into it.

"I want to know why you had to take a cab to the Castle instead of landing at the pad and where is you ship NARK?" the Knight Commander was standing behind his desk. He must not have watched the cameras because when he saw her his mouth dropped. "NARK what happened to you?"

She walked up to his desk and set the case on his desk. "I have completed the main component of the quest. Unfortunately I have failed in returning the prisoner and I understand what that means," Elsa then stood at attention, but had her hand out in front of her waiting for cuffs.

It took a minute, but then her voice sounded again through the speakers of the desk. He finally replied "How?"

"I was injured during recovery of the device and trigger. She was able to somehow get into the AI system of the ship and was able to turn the ship against me. They attempted to leave me at the southernmost space port on the planet, but I was able to sabotage some gear in the cargo hold. At some point the ammo stores will degrade and cause a catastrophic failure. If the ship is in hyperspace the explosion should cause the ship to be ripped to shreds," Elsa had perfected this lie in route to the Castle. "If they aren't in hyperspace there is a good chance it will disable the ship and cause the area that stored the food to be inaccessible. So she should starve within a few days."

It should be the perfect lie. There would be no way to confirm if Aren blew up in hyperspace because parts would be scattered across several systems. Then the other option they could possibly find Aren, but the chances were slim and Anna should be dead anyway.

"I can't tell you how disappointed I am in hearing that you not only lost the prisoner, but also your ship," the Knight Commander's face showed that he wasn't only disappointed, but furious.

"I'm sorry sir, but I am a Ward with honor that is why I am prepared to suffer the consequences of losing the prisoner. I believe her sentence was execution was it not?" Elsa was more prepared for this than anything else. She would rather be dead then to live a life without Anna. "I stand ready to bare that sentence and will even walk myself to the execution chamber to prove how a true Ward of the State should act in these matters."

The Knight Commander's fury smoldered in the wake of her confession and admittance of acceptance of the crime. His face betrayed his emotions to much at this moment. Gone was the stone faced man she had seen many times in the past. "I understand. I'll have to take this into consideration and talk it over with the council," he touched the holo on his desk. "Have a guard come up and escort NARK Elsa to empty quarters. She is to remain under confined to quarters until further notice."

"Sir?" she couldn't help asking

"Your admittance is admirable, but your past deeds do offer you a chance. So I'll take your case to the council and allow it to decide your fate. I will of course recuse myself from the decision making process as my history with you doesn't allow me to judge you fairly." She heard a guard walked into the office. She looked over her shoulder and saw his hand on his weapon as if ready to draw it on her. "She will offer no issues." The Knight Commander looked away from her, but his face still betrayed his feelings. She could see that he didn't want to execute her, but he didn't know that he would be doing her a favor at this point.

It had been over a week since Elsa was confined to quarters. The quarters weren't terrible as there was a window that allowed fresh air, three hot meals and someone to look after her injuries. It was a simple life, but she felt so alone without Anna. When Elsa was half asleep in bed she would feel around trying to find Anna. Only after being startled awake would the realization come back that she wasn't there or would ever be there again. It was a hard way to wake up and Elsa wished the council would just get it over with.

Her arm still didn't work at all, but the medical person was able to get slight feeling in her hand again. They weren't sure if she would ever get full range of motion back. Not that it really mattered because she was sure the council would make her carry out the sentence. It was one of the rules of the Knighthood and the foundation of it. To ignore it would be to ignore the rules that everything is based on.

She had flopped on her bed listening to a bird chirping outside her window. The door to her room opened un-expectantly as it wasn't the usual time for a meal or an injury checkup. Two guards entered her room both armed, but their hands were empty.

"Finally! Let's get this over with," she blurted out as she stood up and walked over to them. One turned to lead and the other walked in step behind her. They gave her the dignity of walking in line instead of holding her arms like they were dragging her. They didn't lead her to the usual execution chamber were she had seen executions before, but to a room next to it.

This room didn't lead to an incinerator, but had two medical professionals in lab coats and a large chair in the middle. The chair was mostly metal with no padding, large arm and leg restrains and a head rest also unpadded and made of metal. There was also a large machine that sat at the head of the chair that looked like it would fit over the head of the person in the chair.

She was totally confused, but with dignity she walked over and sat in the chair. Maybe this was a more humane way of killing her instead of just incinerating her body. The only problem is that it would still leave her body, which would still need to be disposed of.

She still laid her head back against the head rest and the two people in lab coats walked over and put the large restraints over her arms and legs. Next they moved the large machine over her head. She had been mistaken as the machine only covered half of her face the other half was still unrestrained. The machine then clamped down on her face tightly. It wasn't painfully tight, but uncomfortable none the less.

She still wasn't sure what was going on, but she wouldn't show any emotion to display her confusion. She would die with dignity.

"NARK Elsa Ward of the State," one of the medical people started to announce her death sentence. She had heard it many times in the past. So instead of listening she just closed her eyes and brought the image of Anna lying asleep in her underwear. Her perfect form, her freckled pale skin that was so warm to the touch and her reddish blonde hair all disheveled from her movement while sleeping.

Suddenly it felt like the right side of her face was on fire. This was far from humane as the incinerator. At least that way it was over in seconds, but this seemed to last forever and her face was going to melt off. It was from shock and through sheer force of will that she didn't scream out in pain.

Right when she thought she couldn't take it anymore the pain stopped. Her whole body started to shake and shiver as the heat that felt like it was burning away her face was gone. "Your body is in shock from the procedure. It will take several hours for the shivering to subside and your face will need to be bandaged for the next week," one of the professionals announced as they removed the machine from over her face. "Also your depth perception will be very off until your bandages come off as you can't use your other eye for that week. Once the bandages are off though, it will take time for your eyes to readjust."

"I I I d-d-don't un-un-understand?" Elsa was barely able to stutter out the words with the shivering. She was completely confused.

"You can't ever return to Elysium or a Castle, but you are released from duty Elsa. There is a ship on the landing pad that will take you to one of the outer planets in the Alliance. Thank you for your service," the other professional announced.

This confused her even more. There was no way out of being a Ward of the State. It was a permanent job and once you were marked with the Ward symbol there was no way to undo it. The guards had to nearly pick her up as the shivers and shakes made it almost impossible to move. They pretty much dragged her to the landing pad.

"There is a civilian transport ship here. It has a medical bay where you will stay until you arrive or your bandages can come off. They have received instructions for your care," the medical person spoke again. She had a million questions, but couldn't get any words to leave her chattering teeth. The guards dragged her up the ramp of the ship and turned right as they got on the ship. The medical bay was in a very similar location as Aren's, but she couldn't see or understand much else as it seemed the procedure also rattled her brain. It was like when she had a concussion grenade go off near her.

She was gently lowered onto the bed of the medical bay. She could hear people talking, but couldn't understand them over the sound of her teeth chattering. She closed her good eye and tried to get her senses under control like she was trained. It was training to recover from a concussion blast of some sort and it started to work eventually.

Her shivering slowed and she was finally able to feel more then cold. The ship was moving and she could feel that someone was near her. She slowly opened her good eye and was shocked. If she didn't just have the feeling that her face was being melted off, she would have called it the shock of her life. Two faces that she was intimately familiar with were looking down on her. One face had a lot of freckles, blue eyes a reddish blond hair with two braids over each shoulder. The other a green hued digital face, green digital eyes and long hair permanently tucked behind two green ears that had data moving down them.

"W-w-what i-i-is g-g-going o-o-on," she asked as she was still confused.

They both smiled and Anna said "Don't worry we have got this under control."

"Just lay back and relax. You have some healing to do," Aren answered with a huge smile of her own.

A little over a week later Elsa was staring at her reflection in the mirror. It was strange as if she was looking at a stranger in the mirror. Then a face she did know showed up and Anna lay her head on Elsa's shoulder. "You just look like you have a sun burn now," Anna said with a smile.

"I don't know if I'll ever get used to it," Elsa replied as she brought her fingers up and touched her right cheek. Only pink tender skin is now where once a large black S once sat. She had thought the mark was permanent for life, but it seemed that Anna and Aren had found a clause that would allow a Ward of the State to be released from duty.

Of course they had to forge several documents and hack several accounts of high ranking members of all three branches in order to make it possible, but they did it. Here they were on Aren flying at Hyperspace towards an unknown location. Elsa completely released from her duties as a Ward.

"I'm sure you will get used to it. If not I'll just hide all the mirrors and just say that you look amazing all the time," Anna replied as she stepped in front of the mirror. She then laid her arms on Elsa's shoulders and leaned in for a kiss. She gladly accepted the kiss. It was something she thought that would never happen again.

"So what now?" Aren asked from a holo across the room from them.

"Well you left me with enough credits that we could buy a house on any planet and retire," Anna answered after they finished their kiss. She didn't take her arms down, but she did shift her weight back away so they weren't so face to face.

"I can't live in a house," Aren replied.

"Good point," Anna replied as she pressed her lips together in thought.

"I don't think I could truly settle down in one location. I wouldn't know what to do with myself," Elsa confessed truthfully as she always would around Anna. "Plus we can't live our whole lives on the amount of credits I transferred we would have to eventually get jobs."

"I can do computer work from any ware and get paid handsomely for it," Anna replied.

"I'm not house wife," Elsa joked with a smirk on her face.

"I'd like to see Elsa try and cook," Aren replied with a smile and a laugh. She then said "We could just fly around for a while and then become bounty hunters in the outer systems. The two of you could easily catch anyone in the galaxy if you two set your minds too it.

"That sounds like the best idea yet," Elsa replied.

"It does sound good, but let's first take a small vacation and go to some warm planet with lots of nice beaches," Anna answered and Elsa nodded her head with a smile. She looked down at the arms laid on her shoulders and saw Anna's mark on her forearm. The mark brought a smile to Elsa's face as she grabbed Anna's arm and brought their arms together. The snow flake was once again complete and Elsa knew that the mark meant that they were meant to be together.

That is it everyone. I hope you enjoyed the story. I will putting all my in process Fanfictions on hold until after Novel November. I'm going to attempt to write an original fiction. It will be similar to my others as it will host two main female characters that will fall in love.

This is my first attempt at it so we will see how it goes.

Thanks for reading Kain.
