The Guard (Elsa X Reader)

Chapter 2

I wake up in a stone walled room, the stone was painted white, and the smell of fire was evident, yet it was so cold in there. I shiver and sit up, taking notice to the bandages on my ribs and groaning at the pain that gets shot through me.

"You know you really shouldn't be moving" says a mellifluous voice, so pure and angelic. I blush at the sound of it.

"Well I'm not staying here" I throw my legs over the cot and push myself to my feet. "The audacity that they had, to come steal me from my home, make me fight in a fucking arena, and almost get myself killed is disgusting, they should be ashamed, and whoever else sent them to get me. The entire ride they kept asking personal questions like it was their business, and when I would ask 1 question they'd hit me with the back of there weapon." I walk to a little area where I see the necklace that my father gave me when I was a child. I hold it in my hand a sec and trase the symbol on it, the symbol that stands for an Ohm. Then I put the chain over my head and grab the 20 gold coins I had left.

"How long did you know?" The voice asks.

"Know what?" I ask having a feeling I know what the voice means.

I feel a hand pull on my shoulder and turn me around then it moves to grip on my jaw gently so I'm looking up, her thumb on the left side of my jaw then the rest of her fingers on the otherside.

"When did you know about your powers hon?" The way she says it with such confidence, such coolness, such...Idk strength it makes me freeze. I can't move, I can't speak, everything just stops, even my breathing, all i can do is stare at her, stare into her icy blue eyes and pray she lets me out of this mouse trap. She smiles at me and tilts my head slightly more up so we're directly face to face.

"Hmm? When did you learn Sweatheart? Use. Your. Words." She emphasized her words while slightly squeazing my jaw with her fingers and I gulp.

"I-I always knew t-they could be there, t-the power p-passes down to the y-youngest in the b-bloodline when the person who had it b-before d-dies , b-but I didn't know h-how to u-use t-them I-I didnt even know I h-had them, " I said slightly scared, she seemed so strong, I couldnt comprehend everything.

"Breathe beautiful, im not going to hurt you, how did you do it?" She says calmly, like she's trying to catch my attention with her words, I inhale, like she said to, and all I smell is vanilla, sweet sweet vanilla, it must be coming from the white haired beauty since she's the only one here besides me and I probably smell like cold sweat and blood. God someone like her doesnt deserve to be around someone like me.

"Right before I blacked out the first time something probably kicked it off inside of me, I got a flash of memories and a burning sensation all throughout my body, mainly on my back, and right behind my eyes." I say slowly, drifting my eyes to the wall thats beside me, she huffs, and grips my jaw slightly. Not to cause harm, but to grasp my attention.

"I read about you guys" she drops my jaw and goes behind me wrapping her arms around my waist and pulling me close against her, making me tense up in her arms and gasp at how touchy she is.

"You know, the l/n's family, I thought it was folklore, but when a civilian from here busts in my gates and tells me about a white haired girl with golden eyes, I just had to see for myself, so I sent people to get you. I told them to do so nicely so they'll have to be punished for that, I'm sorry they bruised you up too, but may I just say-" she gets really close to my ear, and exhales, making me turn a dark shade of crimson and shiver, then she whispers "I enjoy looking at you, my little lightning bolt, let me just say I was surprised at how incredible you look in leather" she takes a second than she backs away quickly as if realising how close we were.

"Work for me...please" she sounds desperate, like she needs me...maybe she does, maybe she wants to seem more human, or maybe just more normal, like there are more people like her. She grabs my arm and all I feel is icy cold coolness.

"I won't-" she looks at me face to face, in the eyes. "I won't make you, but you will have to stay here if you don't decide to come with me, you'd have to keep fighting in the arena" she says sternly, like she's bribing me into coming with her, like she's giving me an order instead of a request, but I can't stop looking at her, the way her lips fold into a friendly smile, but her eyes demand respect, respect I'm willing to give if I'm allowed to get lost in those icy blues daily.

"O-okay, I-ill uh I'll do it" I say quietly, her smile widens some and she pulls me out of the room and up a pair of stairs to the outside world. Its incredibly dark outside, and she hands me a hood which I then realised that I was pretty bare accept the wraps covering my chest, ribs, arms, and the pants I was wearing, guess my legs turned out okay.

"T-thanks" I say quietly

"Youre going to be my personal body guard" she says as we hurry to the castle in the brisk of night

"I don't know how to fight though I wouldnt be able to protect you" I say quickly, almost panicky

"I know, but I know how to fight-" she then pushes me up against a tree and I gulp, not knowing what to do.

"And I can protect you" she smiled, let go of me, and started walking again.

(Time skip to the castle and up in a room that's right by Elsa)

"This will be where youre staying, wake me up when you get up, and ill tell everyone that you are my new guard, and beautiful, what is your name exactly?"

"Y/n, malady, yours?"

"Elsa, anyway sleep well, and goodnight." She looks at me one last time and bites her lip, than walks gracefully out of the room and down the hallway to her room.

I laid in bed tossing and turning most of the night, and had no idea what was to come in the morning.
