Disney Fan Fiction - A New Freezing Ch 7

Rumpelstiltskin crept closer to the forbidding fortress that towered above him. The stone structure had an eerily green glow but as he looked up he could see a purple aura on the tallest tower. The castle itself was composed of many towers on a square base that sat on the top of a mountain with a drawbridge connecting a watchtower on another mountain. So close to the castle he could feel dark magic emanating from within as if during the Overtaking, Maleficent seemed to get stronger with every victory made by evil.

Taking a look around the corner he could see a patrol pacing back and forth on the drawbridge. From his distance he could tell that it was squat and with slightly piggish features. Waiting until it was close enough, he waved his hand and on the opposite side a few rocks slid down. The minion ran toward that side of the bridge, his small but beady eyes scanning the cliff side. Taking that opportunity, Rumpelstiltskin materialized inside of the castle and slipped into the shadows.

He proceeded further through the castle with this tactic. However, there were a few instances in which a guard or two would catch him only to have them be turned to stone and crumble into dust. Eventually he found the dungeon. He glanced inside one of the cells to find not a handsome prince but a large mouse with red trunks. His hands were chained above his head as he sat down on the floor, his head down. He gasped as he recognized the prisoner.

The mouse must have heard him because he had looked up and saw Rumpelstiltskin turning away.
"Wait,” he called in a high pitch voice. "Who are you?"

There was no reply.

As he continued he found another large mouse, this time female with a short dress. There was also a thin character, two ducks about the same size as the mice, and a yellow dog. There were also two small boys in separate cells. One was dressed in green with a green cap on his red hair that had a red feather. The other seemed to be in his early teens also with red hair, a green vest, yellow long sleeved shirt, green pants with brown boots. Beside the last one’s cell was a girl with blonde hair, a pink dress with white sleeves and black shoes. In a cage next to her was a golden orb that gave off pulses of light. In another cell was an old man with a blue tunic, blue shoes, and a similarly colored pointed hat. Occasionally he would give a slight grunt whenever the shackles at his wrists sparked with lightning.

At the end of the cellblock, he found a tall and handsome man with brown hair, black and gray clothes with brown pants and black boots. He sat on a cot with shackles around his wrists.

Rumpelstiltskin smiled and then he started to hum a tune. The Prince opened his eyes and looked up at the door. His eyes widened with shock at the sight.
