Let It Go

Hello there

“Are you speaking to me?”

Belle stopped in her tracks when she saw the two, recognizing the woman as the queen but unsure of the other as she approached slowly. “Miss? Why are you out here alone, it’s dangerous.” She looked to the other that she had spoken to with unsure eyes.

Elsa’s head snapped in the direction of Belle. “I can take care of myself, thank you very much.” Under her gloves she could feel her fingertips becoming covered in a light frost. She brought her hands close to her chest and steadied her breathing. “I’m fine.”

“I’m sorry! I don’t mean to laugh, but-” She covers her mouth to hide her giggling.

“I don’t understand...what is so funny?”

“Wow, I was just asking.” Hugo rolled his eyes. “Someone’s a little grumpy.”

“You don’t know the half of it.”

“Long name… I have no idea who you are.” He shrugged as he looked at her. “So… Why you hiding out in here?”

Elsa narrowed his eyes at him. “That’s none of your business.”

“My best friend.” He chuckled, shrugging his shoulders. “Usually there aren’t other people here. What’re you doing here anyway?” Hugo questioned with a raise of his eyebrow. “Name’s Hugo.”

Elsa raised her head and raised her eyebrows. “Queen Elsa Landvik of Arendelle.”

Hugo laughed as he sat on a rock. “You’re fiesty, reminds me of Desiree.” He made a confused face and shook his head. “I have no idea who that even is. I came here on my own because I need to think.”

“Who?” Elsa questioned. “Never mind. There are plenty of other places to go. Why here?” she questioned. “Who even are you?”

Hugo laughed and shook his head. “It takes a lot more than this to get me cold.”

Elsa was skeptical of him and gave him a weary look. “I don’t trust you,” she said. “Who sent you here? Was it Anna?”

Hugo backed up a few steps, holding up his hands. “Chill. I’m perfectly safe, trust me.” All he had to do was turn back into a gargoyle and he was nearly invincible. “I’m just looking for a place to crash for the night, that’s all.”

“You’ll freeze to death out here,” she told him.”

“Many towns and civilians have been caught in the crossfire of it all.”

“My sister lives in the castle.”

“Have you checked the corpses?”

“Why would you say something like that?”

“Do you honestly think it’s safe out there right now? There are decapitated men on the field at the moment.” Megara was perched up on one of the trees, looking down at the other.

“No. That’s why I’m out here though. I have to find my sister.”

“I don’t believe you, but I can pretend if you would prefer that.”

“I would prefer that very much so. Thank you.”

“Are you okay… do you need something?”

“No!” Elsa snapped, but quickly regained herself. “I mean, I’m fine. Really.”
