Storm The Castle

With the first of the supports constructed, Elsa extended the platform out to it. A quick glance behind her confirmed that the door was still shut and none of the four were following her. She couldn't count on that, though - they had some way to blow up the doors. She quickly started another support tower. If she could finish this bridge before they followed her out here, she'd be able to shut herself away far more effectively. Her original ice palace hadn't been intended to keep people out - she'd relied on her blizzards for that, but they obviously hadn't worked. Next time she'd have a few more additions to the structure...

"So what now?" Lydia asks the group

"AFTER HER!!!!!" Felix yells, bolting toward the door.

Leo growled at the fact that this Queen made a fool of him so he charged after her.

"Come on we can't loose her!" He yells as he tries to break through the ice doors.

The ice doors weren't locked - Leofsig and Felix knocked them in rather quickly.

Elsa spun around, eyes wide and something close to panic on her face. She made a mental note to add locks. Lots of them.

Leo was temporarily distracted by the view before he visibly shook himself back to focusing on the Queen.

"We could just help you if you let us." Leo says as he watched Elsa.

Elsa took a step backward, nearly on the edge of her platform. She held out a hand in a warding gesture. "Stay back!"

Felix takes a single step forward.

Elsa ran out of platform. She briefly thought that she'd read this in a book. Multiple times.

As Felix took a step towards her, she seemed to shrink away from him. "Please don't!"

Leo grabbed Felix and held him back.

"Just let us defend you by not letting anybody get past this point. Make that secondary house only accessible by this bridge. Me and my friends will make sure that nobody gets to you. Think, we can stop your sister if she tries to get to you." Leo says calmly as he pulls Felix back.

"I don't need you to guard me - I could still hurt you."

Not if you're in a different house, that's your plan right?" Leo says gesturing to the platform. "Running away from us and build a different house to seal yourself in? Only helps if you have some way to get help without going back to your sister. With us we could help by being the barrier between you and the people. Think about it, just get away from the edge so you don't get killed by the fall." Leo says calmly but his body was tense.

"SHUT UP YOU IDIO- wait, sister?" Felix asks.

"My answer was no. It hasn't changed." Elsa told Leofsig.

"My god you are dense" Lydia says to Felix

"Then what happens if she comes to get you back home? You almost killed her twice already. You may not be as lucky the third time!" Leo shouts to Elsa. "Think about it... A dead sister or some guests. Your choice."

"STOP SHOUTING IN MY EAR!!!"

"He has a point" Lydia says, to Felix "No one cares"

"She...she won't!" As she said it, she wasn't so sure...Anna was awfully stubborn when she wanted to be.

But at the same time, she didn't need guards. She turned away from the group of them, folding her arms and closing her eyes, struggling to rein in her emotions before she lashed out at one of them.

"I think we should leave her alone guys" Lydia says

"Yes, you should!" Elsa echoed the other woman, hunching her shoulders as a gust of wind tore across the partly-completed bridge. She probably didn't mean to do that...but at any rate there were no handrails yet and the bridge was made of freaking ice. That wasn't good!

Lydia felt herself sliding towards the edge. She leaned backward instinctively and her legs went out from under her, landing her flat on her back with a thud. Thankfully she was no longer sliding.

Felix, on the other hand, had his cloak catch the wind and neatly sail him towards the edge. Unfortunately, with Leo still holding onto him, he ended up dangling over the edge, easily over two hundred feet to the sheer slopes below with Leo barely catching the balcony railing in time to stop himself being dragged off too. He was the only thing holding Felix up.

Lydia started to back away from Elsa, that chick is serous business

Elsa turned and saw the three of them: Lydia backpedaling away as fast as she could while lying on her back, Felix about to fall to his death and Leofsig barely supporting them. She gasped, terror plain on her face. "No...I didn't mean to..." She started to stretch out a hand, intending to help Felix, but pulled back sharply - she could hit him with her magic instead.

With a shiver that had nothing whatsoever to do with the cold, Elsa turned back around, resolutely not looking at them. "Don't feel, don't feel, don't feel, don't feel!" she stammered, apparently to herself.

Horribly, the palace behind them all suddenly glowed with a dim light - not the white-blue sparks that Elsa's powers had so far displayed but a dull red tint welling up from within suddenly near-black ice.

"Stop this witchcraft!"

"What the hell is happening?" Lydia says looking at the red light
