A/N: Hello kiddies! Well, I caved and started an AU Frozen fanfic. Mostly Frozen. Expect to see TONS of other Disney characters too. Just to get things out of the way, yes this is Elsanna (mainly, there will be other pairings that do not include Elsa nor Anna as well), and is rated M for later chapters. It's a modern AU, but takes place in a universe where Disney Magic totally exists.

Anyway, enjoy!

Living In A Troubled House
- Chapter 1 -

"Well, the building is certainly…foreboding," Elsa commented as she tugged her roll-along bag behind her. The sound of the small wheels struggling over the cracks in the asphalt crackled behind the tall slender blonde as she walked up.

"I think it's cool," The redhead smiled widely, aquamarine eyes flickering rapidly as she scanned the massive eighteenth century mansion made apartment, "and we're not that far from school, or town." She added while adjusting the strap of the bag slung over her shoulder.

"Wasn't someone supposed to meet us?" The elder sister asked, her eyes scanning the surrounding area; it looked so unnaturally well maintained.

The grass was cut evenly at half an inch tall, not a single stray weed grew up defiantly through the weathered walkway, and there wasn't an inch of rustic fence out of place. The yards surrounding either side of the massive house were expansive, with a large garden to their right, and a greenhouse to their left.

Before them the walkway melted into wooden steps that led up onto a huge front porch (complete with several wooden chairs and a swing). The house's main entrance was a large door, painted an unimaginative eggshell white, with four windows at either side of it. The building was easily four stories, with an inky black shingled roof and dozens of windows (all with the curtains drawn shut, oddly enough).

"I'm sure someone'll meet up with us soon," Anna chimed, clasping her hands together excitedly. Elsa could only roll her eyes and smile, while she slipped her wallet back into her purse.

"I can't believe how expensive that taxi was," The blonde muttered, "I'm sure that guy ripped us off." Anna turned to her sister.

"What? Really? But he seemed so nice," Elsa laughed, shaking her head.

"You think everyone seems nice." Anna pursed her lips.

"That's because, most of the time, they are," She argued, "my average of rightness is higher than wrongness."

"I'm not even sure how to respond to that," Elsa reached into her pocket and tugged out her phone, checking the time. "We're not even late, we're actually on time. What was the person's name who was supposed to meet us?"

"Uhm," Anna reached into her sweater pocket and tugged out a half-crumpled, half-folded, piece of paper. She quickly unfolded it and read it aloud. "Kristoff."

"That'd be me," A tall, muscular blonde man approached them, grinning widely, "sorry I'm late, lost track of time, was out back with Sven." Anna smiled happily and walked over, extending her hand in a friendly gesture.

"That's okay!" She assured, her arm still extended out. Kristoff paused, looked her over, and then accepted her offered hand and shook it. "Who's Sven? A friend of yours?"

"My best friend, actually," Kristoff smiled, looking back over his shoulder as his reindeer companion rounded the house and trotted over to him.

"Is that a moose!?" Elsa stiffened, her temperature dropping as the massive animal approached – living a rather sheltered life, neither her nor her sister had ever seen an animal larger than a random teacup sized dog that one of the many wealthy women would carry around with them when they visited their estate.

"He's a reindeer," The blonde man quickly corrected, "and his name is Sven." The antlered beast walked up and bumped Kristoff's shoulder with his snout. The man turned and smiled. "Yeah, of course I'll introduce you." Anna blinked wide-eyed, and in awe. Unlike her apprehensive and naturally skittish sister, the redhead loved meeting new people, and this included animals.

"Hello Sven!" Anna smiled, walking over and gingerly scratching the reindeer under his chin. Sven made a deep guttural sound of contentment and Kristoff beamed.

"He says he likes you," The redhead smiled widely and turned to the blonde.

"Really? How do you know that?" She asked, her head cocking to the side.

"I can talk to animals," The blonde shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, but the wide grin on his face betrayed his attempt at a cool demeanor, "which one of you is the one with powers?" Amber eyes flicked from Anna to Elsa, giving the blonde a once over. "Never mind, I'm going to assume it's you. That'd make you Elsa, right?" Elsa eyed the man unsurely and gave a small nod in affirmation.

"Yes, how did you know?"

"I read your guys' files before agreeing to be your peer mentor." Kristoff explained, that same wide crooked grin still on his lips. "We don't have that many kinetics like you around, and I don't think I've ever heard of ice-specific powers like yours."

"Ice, snow, and anything cold," Anna corrected quickly, snatching her hand back and rushing over to Elsa, throwing herself into her sister to hug her tightly. "Elsa's amazing!" The blonde blushed lightly, the reddening of her cheeks extenuating the light dusting of pale freckles over the bridge of her nose.

"Uh huh," Kristoff placed his hands on his sides and looked both girls over again; Anna was slightly shorter than her older sister, so she was able to easily tuck her head under Elsa's chin, which made the blonde grow even redder. "I take it you're not used to PDA, huh? From what I read you guys were pretty sheltered." Elsa's eyes narrowed on the blonde man and he shivered.

"We don't talk about our family or home life, that's rule one if you're going to be our…peer mentor." The way Elsa hooked a protective arm around Anna did not go unnoticed by Kristoff, who immediately raised his hands defensively.

"Alright, alright, duly noted," He said quickly, "anything else I should be aware of before you freeze me solid?" Elsa's brow knit and she glared harder, the air around them growing steadily colder.

"Elsa," Anna soothed, untucking her head and placing her hand on Elsa's cheek, turning the older girl's icy blue eyes to meet her own warm aquamarine ones, "be nice. It's alright." The redhead gently stroked her sister's cupped cheek and smiled at her. Elsa visibly softened and the cold wind that'd whipped up suddenly died down and the late summer air returned. Kristoff gave them a moment, eyeing them warily, before clearing his throat.

"Should I show you guys to your room?" He asked, his eyes falling to their bags. "That's all you brought? You sure that's enough stuff? Most of us moved in with boxes." Elsa turned to Kristoff and he stiffened – even if her eyes were softer now, there was an unmistakable harshness behind them.

"One of our housemaids, Gerda, will be dropping off the rest of our things later today." She answered coolly.

"Housemaids," Kristoff repeatedly, staring incredulously.

"Why are you so surprised?" The blonde woman stepped to the side slightly, her arm still around Anna, with her hand drawing small circles absently in the back of her sister's sweater, "you said you read our files, you should know we come from wealth." Kristoff blinked and then raised his hand, raking his fingers through his short messy hair.

"Yeah, yeah," He dismissed, turning and patting Sven, "C'mon, I'll show you guys to your room. You're on the fourth floor." Kristoff walked over and reached for Elsa's bag, lifting it and finding himself jerked back down, unable to move it.

"Rule two: don't touch our things," Elsa hissed, putting her hand around the handle, and thawing the ice that had been around the base of the bag so she could easily move it. "Not my things, nor Anna's." Kristoff stepped back and raised his hands again – he had a feeling he was going to be taking this submissive stance quite a bit around these two.

"How about you just list off these rules now, that way I don't have to stumble into warnings instead." Kristoff muttered, jamming his hands into his pockets.

"There aren't too many more," Elsa adjusted her bag so she could pull it along without unhooking her arm from around her sister's waist, "and I'm a firm believer that you learn from experience. Better to let you learn directly from your mistakes." Anna giggled cutely and hugged her arms around Elsa's waist, nuzzling her sister's neck.

"You're being mean Elsa, he's just trying to be helpful," Kristoff's eyes fell on the shorter girl, and he smiled a bit; she was most definitely the easier of the two to talk to, and she seemed a lot more laid back. Anna whipped her head around and smiled widely at the other blonde. "You'll show us to our room now?"

"Yeah, sure," Kristoff nodded, "you're lucky that almost everyone's out today. We normally run house errands on Saturdays, so most of them are out buying things."

"How many others live with us?" Elsa asked, walking beside Kristoff as he led the girls up to the stairs.

"Uhm, including Sven and me?" The blonde woman wrinkled her nose.

"The moose lives in the house too?" Kristoff scoffed.

"Reindeer," He emended, "and yes, with me, on the first floor. Anyone who has large animals with them has a room on ground level."

"There are other people with animals?" Anna asked, taking the steps in twos.

"Mhmm, another girl, like me, has a pet tiger," Kristoff reach for the doorknob, tossing the door open, and gesturing for the girls to enter first. They did.

"A tiger?" Elsa looked around as they stepped into the foyer, "Is that really safe?" Kristoff walked in after, followed by Sven.

"Is that safe? Asks that woman with ice powers," He shook his head and walked towards the central staircase, at either side of which there was a corridor, which lead into rows of bedroom doors. "Second floor is where the common area is – we've got a couple TVs, some systems set up, a pool table, the works, the third floor has the kitchen area, so you're free to use the microwaves and stoves, but if you're going to put food in the fridges you should label it."

"Okay." Anna smiled, ascending the stairs quickly, heading up to the second floor, which mirrored the first with several bedroom doors, many of which had stickers, posters and signs stuck to them.

"Right over there is the common area," Kristoff pointed into a large room, which had an arched entranceway, and seemed to be one of the only carpeted rooms in the house. The rest seemed to be the original floorboards with old well-worn carpets. "Like I said, open at all hours of the day and night, so don't hesitate to hang out in there if you want. The school supplies a lot of the stuff we have, so just be sure not to break anything. It's a real pain to get replaced."

"I'm sure we'll spend more of our time in our room," Elsa commented dryly, her arms crossed, looking rather unimpressed. Kristoff sighed heavily.

"Shall we continue up?" He walked over to the third floor staircase, looking down at Sven, who stared up from the first floor. "I'll be down soon, buddy, just head back out if you want." The reindeer moaned a sound and then trotted out of sight.

"Sure!" Anna beamed, rocking on the balls of her feet.

"Might as well," Elsa grabbed her bag and began rolling it towards the next set of stairs.

"And that's the kitchen over there, you can also do dishes and we have a cold storage," Kristoff pointed towards the entrance to the kitchen, "but remember that you're sharing with other people, and there are rooms on this level too."

"Kristoff, hi," A lithe young woman rushed over, her short brown hair bobbing as she moved, "I thought you were outside with Sven–" Her round green eyes fell on Anna and she inhaled sharply, a wide smile spreading over her lips. "You must be the new girls!" She practically shouted, throwing herself into Anna's arms, and squeezing the redhead in a tight hug.

"H-Hello!" Anna laughed, returning the hug, albeit with a little less force. "Yes, I'm Anna, and this is my sister Elsa." She turned her head and nodded toward her sibling, who glared back at the brunette.

"This is Rapunzel," Kristoff chuckled, "her room's on this floor, and she's a healer. Can do it by singing." Anna's eyes went wide.

"By singing? That's amazing!" The redhead gasped. Rapunzel loosened her grip and stepped back, blushing.

"Well, it's by singing the same one song," The brunette replied, "and I have to make physical contact with the person, though my tears work best." Rapunzel stepped back further and laced her fingers behind her back, eyes falling on Elsa as the older girl walked up and hooked her arm around Anna's shoulders.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Elsa spoke softly. Anna turned her head and frowned, recognizing the underlying malice in her sister's tone. With a gentle nudge of her elbow into Elsa's ribs, Anna mouthed 'be nice, please'. The blonde frowned a bit and then sighed defeatedly, putting on a more genuine smile.

"It's nice to meet you too," Rapunzel beamed, "Elsa is a really beautiful name, what is it?"

"Norwegian," Elsa answered, relaxing a bit thanks to her sister's proximity. Kristoff clapped his hands together.

"Okay, enough introductions, I need to get you girls to your room and go over all of the stuff I'm expected to, so," He turned and smiled to Rapunzel, "let me steal the girls away for now? You can make friends later." The brunette pouted her lower lip and then sighed, reluctantly nodding.

"Alright," She turned her wide emerald eyes to Anna, "let's have dinner together tonight, okay? I'll help introduce you both to everyone."

"Sure," Anna smiled warmly, "that sounds nice." But Elsa frowned.

"Great, come on then," Kristoff headed towards yet another flight of stairs, taking them easily up to the fourth floor. "Okay, so you guys are actually the only ones occupying rooms up on this level." Elsa sighed, happy to hear that, at the very least, they were an entire floor apart from everyone else. "You're in four-o-one, here at the end of the hall, by the massive window." Elsa and Anna followed, Elsa's bag rattling as she tugged it over the carpet. "And here we are," Kristoff tugged a key ring out of his pocket, flipped a few keys, before unhooking two and tossing them to Anna.

The redhead fumbled with the keys, causing them to bounce a number of times, before actually catching them. She smiled sheepishly, turning and handing one of the two keys to Elsa.

"Those are your keys, and you're the only ones that have keys to your room," He pointed at the door, "so don't lose them, and come unlock this for me." Anna scurried over, slipping the key into the lock and unlocking it with a click.

Hesitantly, Anna opened the door and peeked inside; the room was fairly large, with two twin sized beds separated by what appeared to be a wooden blanket box. There was a large window between the two beds, which let in a lot of light, and overlooked the left yard. The ceiling was high, and the wallpaper looked old and even tattered in places; Anna's eyes fell to the floor and she traced the wooden floorboards from the doorway to the far wall.

"Are you planning on going in, or just admiring?" Kristoff teased, placing his hand on the door above Anna's head, and pushing it open. The redhead stumbled a bit with a squeak, easily correcting her footing, but having moved enough to enter the room.

"Careful," Elsa growled, her eyes on Kristoff as she passed him forcibly into the room, walking to Anna's side. "You're alright?" The redhead blushed, but nodded, smiling.

"Just startled me, that's all Elsa." The blonde breathed softly and smiled, letting go of her bag to free her hand, brushing some of Anna's bangs out of her face and tucking a few loose strands of hair around her ear.

"I'm going to go out on a limb and assume startling Anna is on the list of no-nos?" Elsa turned a dark glare his way and he breathed. "Yeah, sorry." Elsa stood straight and looked around; her eyes fell on several things – the door the shared washroom; the small fridge on the far wall, resting on a counter next to a sink; a fireplace with a mantle; and a large wooden wardrobe.

"Are these all ours to use?" She asked, her icy gaze falling on a small table with four chairs around it.

"Huh? Oh, yeah, they are. Just, you know, don't break anything." The blonde lifted his wrist and looked down at his watch. "Okay, making good time; let me just run down and get my folders so I can go over some stuff with you guys."

"Sure Kristoff, we'll just get settled," Anna dropped her duffle bag off her shoulder onto the bed to the right, "thanks." The blonde man nodded and turned, exiting the room. Elsa sighed and practically deflated, dropping onto the left bed, staring across at Anna.

"What do you think of this place?" She asked, rolling onto her side and resting her head on the pillow. Anna shrugged her shoulders, tugging out a shirt and folding it.

"It's nice, I miss home though," The redhead admitted softly, "but we're okay so long as we're together." Elsa smiled.

"I think so, yes," Anna turned around and dropped herself onto her bed, sitting upright with her hands in her lap.

"This is a lot to take in at once," Her teal eyes fell on her sister, "for a long time I thought you were the only one with powers, heh–weird right?" Elsa shook her head.

"I don't think so; we've been one another's whole world for a long time."

"It's just you and me," Anna sing-songed and smiled.

"What are we gonna do?" Elsa replied softly.

"Well, look over these papers for one," Kristoff smirked, standing in the doorway, waiting for an invitation to enter. Elsa immediately shot back upright, her posture stiff, and her eyes forward.

"Come on in," Anna smiled, standing and walking over to the table, pulling out a chair for herself and sitting down. Elsa sighed and stood, walking over and taking a seat beside Anna.

"Thanks," Kristoff replied, coming up to the table and setting down a folder and tossing it open, while sliding into a seat across the table from the girls, "so, I'm sure you've already read up on the school and whatnot, since I saw you were already registered for classes."

"Mhmm, yep, Elsa read it all and went over it with me." Anna smiled.

"Alright, well, just need to go over a few more things and make sure everything is in order then," Kristoff slipped out a blue coloured paper and set it down in front of the girls, "if you're agreed just sign here."

"What are we signing this for?" Elsa asked, leaning over to read the paper.

"It basically just says that you accept being Anna's charge, and that she accepts taking part responsibility for you and…your powers."

"Part responsibility?" The blonde woman raised a brow while she finished the last paragraph.

"Mhmm, because you're her charge, so she's held responsible just as much if you get all ice crazy." Elsa glared, frost creeping across the tabletop slowly, nearing Kristoff who skid his chair back slightly.

"Elsa," Anna touched her hand down on her sister's, cupping it, "It's fine, I accept." Without hesitation the redhead signed the contract, and reluctantly Elsa followed with her own signature.

"Great," Kristoff smiled, pulling out a few more papers and splaying them out in front of the girls, "these are easier – this one is an agreement to repair any damages you might cause," Anna signed first, then Elsa, "and this is a non-disclosure agreement. Most important one, can't live here unless you sign it." Elsa's eyes fell on the paper.

"Non-disclosure of what exactly?"

"NDAs for our safety; you're not allowed to mention to anyone what…kind of people live here. It's just a confidentiality agreement – so we know that you're not about to run out and bring the six o'clock News in here." Anna immediately signed.

"If our secret is safe with you guys, then your secrets are safe with us." The redhead flashed the widest, brightest and most honest smile Kristoff had ever seen, he was certain immediately that she was telling the truth.

"Great," He flicked his amber eyes to Elsa, who gave a nod and signed as well, "and perfect. Thanks girls, I think that's everything." He slipped all the papers back into the folder, tapped it on the table and grinned. "Welcome to the Trouble House, and hopefully you'll enjoy your stay."
