Trapped

Chapter Two

I closed the door behind me, and locked it from the outside. I wanted to run back in, run to Anna, I wanted to save her. But I couldn't. I was trapped inside my own body, I told myself for the millionth time in those few short minutes. 

I took a step back from the door and started walking down the hall. I tried pulling myself back to the room but it was no use. I was not strong enough, I didn't have the power to beat whoever was doing this to me. 

As I walk down the hall, I can hear faint voices coming from one of the room. I slow down as I get closer to the room, then I turn so I am facing the door. I don't go in though. I took that time to listen in on the conversation inside. 

I heard a man with a deep voice say, "Her hair was white, like the Queen's."

"You don't think... you don't think Queen Elsa did this to her do you?" I heard the Spanish dignitary said, the sound of distress in his every word.  At this time, I extended my arm and grabbed the door handle. I turned it and weakly pushed open the door. I saw the group of men that were already inside rush towards me, catching me as I started to fall to the floor. 

Why was I acting like that? There was nothing wrong with me! I tried screaming out again, knowing there was close to zero chance it would work this time, but i tried anyways. 

"Anna! ANNA! GO HELP HER!" I kept yelling until my voice started going hoarse, then I gave up. The dignitaries practically had to carry me to the chair. As I took a seat, I said, "Princess Anna.. is.. dead."

Forget the whole "giving up" idea. At that point I went crazy. I started screaming until I couldn't anymore. I tried punching myself from the inside, I tried jumping up, shouting, punching like a md man. Princess Anna was NOT dead. Not yet. 

The duke had asked what happened to her. 

"She was killed. By Queen Elsa." I heard a simultaneous gasp amongst the dignitaries. I was just as shocked as they were. Elsa was no monster, she couldn't control her powers!

I thought to myself. Don't tell them that!! Elsa isn't the reason why Anna is dying. It is you! 

At the word "you", I shuttered. I felt a sense of guilt, and responsibility. It was my body, I did those things to Anna. She is dying because of me. 

The fake me started talking again, and I could tell by the strain in his voice he was getting choked up. "At least we got to say our marriage vows... before she died in my arms." At this, a tear started sliding down his cheek.  That guy, whoever he was, knew how to put on a show. Those people actually believed him! Shouldn't they go check on Anna?! Did they think he took care of the dead body? Shouldn't someone go in there to fetch her cold, lifeless body? They would have found out that Anna was still alive! That I, or "I", was a fraud! 

The Duke went on to say that Elsa was a monster, that there was no doubt about it. Oh, if only they knew. If only they knew what was really going on. 

"Prince Hans, Arendelle looks to you now," stated the Spanish dignitary, a few others nodded in agreement. I didn't know what I was going to do next, but I knew it wasn't going to be good. He wanted to be in control, and then those people granted him that wish. Now he was practically King, he was in charge, not only of me, but the entire kingdom of Arendelle. 

When I started talking, the fear inside me grew, I didn't know what was going to come out of my mouth. Then I heard it. The worst thing I could possibly have heard. 

"With a heavy heart, I charge Queen Elsa of Arendelle with treason, and sentence her to death."

At this point, the lone tear I had been forced to shed was long gone, and it almost felt as if I was happy. Well, not me, but the one controlling me. Finally, he had the chance to rid Arendelle of its rightful rulers. With Elsa gone, the throne would be passed on to Anna, but with her gone as well... it would go straight to her husband, if she had one. And according to me, she did. "At least we got to say our marriage vows.." As King of Arendelle he would have to power to do whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted. 

I got up with ease; apparently i'm not pretending to be sad anymore. I thanked the gentlemen for helping me, and I walked out of the room, closing the door behind me. Now I was in the hall all by myself. As fake me started walking towards the staircase, I heard a soft sound coming from behind me. Right as I was turning the corner, I turned and look behind me. 

I saw a snowman stumble into the room Anna was in, and close the door behind him.
