A/N: Hello!
I welcome you to my humble fanfic, thank you for your choice. This is the first long-term project in this place and I'm really excited.
About history, I can't say much yet. Yes, it will start in a pleasant way but it will gradually take a bit more serious and dark nuances because that is the idea I have to make it. But don't worry, love won't fail. As well as other things more... Well. They'll find out.
¡But enough of this, let's start at once!
Chapter I
The cold in the mountains had always been very harsh and hostile — Kristoff knew it and also anyone who lived in Arendelle long enough — but lately, this was much harder than usual. With strong winds that threatened to freeze his face and the sun disappearing on the horizon, the young ice picker knew he could not return to the city without being frozen half-way. So he had no choice but to camp and stay in the mountains for that night. And that would not have bothered him at all, since throughout his life he had become accustomed to these dangers of work, if it were not for that night he should have been with Anna.
"It seems that tonight we will camp Sven," said Kristoff with resignation while collecting some firewood to make a campfire, "I have seen a good place near here to spend the night."
"But we had to go to the castle with Anna and Elsa," say him speaking the reindeer in a shrill voice.
"I know Sven, but we will never get to the castle in this cold. The best thing is camp and in the morning we leave first thing."
Both companions walked through the thick snow to reach the place he had mentioned Kristoff. After lighting a campfire and throwing something into the stomach, the reindeer and the ice collector were put to sleep accompanied by the fire and the stars that flooded the sky. But although Sven had already fallen asleep, Kristoff could not reconcile the dream. He kept seeing the firmament and thinking of her, in his dear and somwhat crazy Anna. He really wanted to be with her at that moment, hug her and sink her in her arms. Suddenly he smiled and realized how strange it was to have those thoughts as he had never before felt a special attachment for anyone except the trolls. It was at that moment that a shooting star crossed the sky and took it out of his thoughts.
"Ask for a wish," he said to himself, and closed his eyes. After a few moments he reopened and settled in Sven's belly with a smile on his face, as his desire was close to being fulfilled. And with the sparkling sound that caused the campfire and the wind that howled around him was that he fell asleep deeply.
Meanwhile, in the castle of Arendelle there was silence because all the staff was sleeping, except the night guards who carried out their patrols and a young princess who was on the balcony looking at a shooting star that had just crossed the sky.
"... that he is safe and sound," she said in a whisper looking at the sky.
At that moment, the redhead felt that someone was behind her and, when she turned around, she found her sister who approached her with a blanket in her arms.
"Trouble sleeping Anna?" Elsa asked as she delicately placed the blanket around her body.
"I'm worried about Kristoff," she answered when she saw the mountains "he has not arrived yet and the cold seems to be stronger than normal. What if something happened to him? What if he got caught in the snow? What if he was attacked by wolves?"
Elsa looked at her with tenderness, she really felt affection to see her so worried about Kristoff. It had only been a few days since the blonde had gone to the mountains to collect ice, as he had always done, and Anna already believed that something bad had happened to her.
"Anna," Elsa replied, "I'm sure Kristoff is fine." I'm sure he decided to stay and camp to avoid bad weather, that's all.
"Are you sure, Elsa?"
"Yes, Anna," he replied as he hugged her, "Now let's go to sleep, it's too late."
The redhead went into the company of her sister and together they went to their rooms. Elsa walked quietly, though in her mind there was some concern. While she really believed that nothing bad had happened to Kristoff, the small possibility that she was wrong was quite mortifying. Lately he had been feeling a drastic change in the weather, especially at night, in addition to having received reports of an unusual increase in wild animal attacks. It was fortunate that her sister was not with her when she received that because she had caused a greater fear than she already had. At that moment he turned to see if Anna felt more relieved, yet the face of this reflected still full of anguish.
"Anna waits," said Elsa taking her hand "come with me, I will give you something that will make you feel better."
"Elsa, I don't know if something makes me feel better now..."
Anna did not have time to finish the sentence as her sister was dragging her through the halls until she reached the kitchen. On entering the two, Elsa closed the door very carefully and began to murmur quietly while looking for something between the shelves.
"Where are you? I know Gerda hid you here... I found you!"
Anna looked incredulously at her sister while she was picking up a small sack of canvas from behind one of the shelves and placing it on the table.
"Elsa?," she said as she approached her slowly "why are you acting so strangely? And what's inside that sack?"
"Shh... Don't make so much noise," she responded as he emptied the sack and from this came out several wrappers of rectangular shapes.
"Chocolates!" cried Anna full of joy at the same time that with her hands she covered her mouth, "ups, I'm sorry."
"No matter, I don't think anyone has listened to us," replied Elsa with a smile.
"But how did you know where Gerda hid them?"
"I didn't know, although I've been looking for a few days," the queen replied while picking the chocolates and put them in the mouth. Deep down she felt somewhat guilty as Gerda had very good reasons for hiding them, especially after they both finished almost all the chocolates from the pantry a few weeks ago, "but Olaf saw her yesterday hiding the chocolates in this sack and told me where they were."
"Thank you Olaf," said Anna in a whisper, and sat down with Elsa to eat the candies.
And so they both began to eat the chocolates while laughing and chatting in a low voice remembering the many times he had ducked at night to fetch chocolates or some other candy. Anna smiled and was happy to be able to share that moment with her sister as she reminded her of the times when they were together with girls when they could not sleep.
Well, I think now if it is enough, cried the queen while keeping the few chocolates that were still in the sack-better keep the leftovers or if not Gerda will find out.
"I think he'll find out anyway."
"Oh No, it will not."
"Do you really think so?" replied the redhead raising an eyebrow, "and if he realizes that missing, I do not know, half the bag?
"Well... She doesn't know who it was, does she?"
"True," said Anna, while she and her sister laughed maliciously in a low voice, "and she will never know."
"Oh, I think she will," said a third voice behind them.
When they heard that, both sisters stopped laughing and were paralyzed. Gerda's undisputed voice behind them had taken them by surprise and they both looked at each other with some fear in their faces.
"I remember," she continued to talk as advanced towards them, "I had hidden this sack by the shelves." "And I also remember," she said holding the sack of chocolates and putting a face of surprise, "which had left many more here the last time I kept it."
At that moment Anna was about to say something, but the expression on Gerda's face warned her that it was better not to say anything. And seeing her sister looking for help, she realized she was going through the same situation. She was unbelievable that even she, being the Queen of Arendelle, could not answer Gerda, though she was understandable. That woman had seen them grow from small and cared for each time their parents were absent for their duties as kings. It was even one of the few people who stayed in the castle when their parents decided to close the doors to the outside. That was why they both had great affection and even more respect and was probably the only person in the castle who could scold them.
"Believe me I understand the love they both profess to chocolate," she continued, "but you must prevent this from becoming an obsession. The last time almost ended between you two all the chocolate in the pantry and i don't want to mention the time that Anna was intoxicated by eating too much chocolate."
The scolding lasted several more minutes until Gerda felt that it had been enough. After taking the sack and directing them a last look of disapproval he went out and disappeared between the halls.
"It seems to be over," said Elsa as she walked towards the door, "no more chocolate for a while."
"Well," replied Anna following she, "but at least we ate most of the chocolate in the bag, right?"
"That is true," said Elsa, laughing at her sister's comment, "Do you feel better, Anna?"
"Yes... I think so, Elsa," she answered as she gave her a strong hug, "Thank You".
"You are welcome," said she, "and now," she continued as she put something in her hands to the redhead, "let us sleep that it is too late."
Anna nodded without saying anything else and saw her sister walk out of the hallways until she lost sight of her. He sighed and began to walk to his room while he opened his hand and saw what Elsa had given her. And when saw what it was, she could not help smiling.
It was incredible that even with all that scolding Elsa had found the time to hide some chocolates.
-O-O-O-
The next morning Kristoff woke up first thing and realized instantly that the weather had improved quite a bit so he didn't want to waste any more time. He woke Sven and after a quick breakfast, which were basically a few carrots for each, they set off towards the castle.
Meanwhile, in Arendelle it was still very early and only a few people in the city were awake and preparing to start their work. In the castle, however, they were already standing preparing breakfast, cleaning the rooms, feeding the animals or arranging the gardens.
The Queen was also awake from very early on her desk, though the continual yawns made her suppose had not been able to get enough sleep. If it were for her she would have stayed longer in her bed, but her actual duties prevented her to do that. And that's how he was there, ready for another day of work full of paperwork, meetings, commercial treaties and things like that.
At that moment some guards knocked on the door, taking the Queen out of her thoughts, informing her that Kristoff had arrived.
"Queen Elsa," said the guards in unison, "We come to inform you that the young Kristoff has just arrived at the castle Looks like has come to see Princess Anna."
"Oh, perfect. Tell him to come so we can talk," the Queen ordered, "and tell him it's of the utmost urgency."
"As you wish Your Majesty," both guards responded as they left the room and went to look for the blond.
Elsa saw that the two guards closed the door and she smiled. For some time she wanted to talk to Kristoff of some issues in particular, most related to his sister, but for some reason always something was avoided. "But now there is no excuse," she thought. Now if they could talk without anything to avoid it.
Meanwhile, Kristoff continued to look unbelieving to the guards when they told him that the Queen wanted to speak to him at that very moment. For an instant he believed that they had been confused and maybe they were looking for someone else, but after a few moments he realized that it was not.
"Queen Elsa requests her presence immediately Kristoff," the guards said again.
"If... If I shall go at once," he replied.
The guards looked at each other trying to put up with laughter when they saw the blond's nervousness and withdrew to their respective positions before they dropped any laughter. Meanwhile Kristoff was still standing in the middle of the barn until Sven pushed him to react. When he came to himself, he stroked the reindeer and gave him a sack of carrots to go eating while he was going to talk to Elsa.
"It seems that today will be a long day my friend," said Kristoff to Sven as he left the barn and went to the Queen's studio.
Hello again! I hope you find yourself enjoyed reading this first chapter. I really liked to write it in English (the original story i wrote in Spanish). And finally i'm sorry if there are several spelling failures but I will continue to strive to try to write it better so that you can read it better.
Thank you for getting here and remember that the reviews always motivate to continue writing. I would really appreciate it if you left your opinions, impressions or any criticism you have of this chapter :)
Give me a hand to keep moving forward, it's only 1 minute for you but it means enough for me!
Say goodbye with a big hug!

Pdta: Perhaps the cover image change in the future, but for now I will leave it as it is. Ah! I really liked it.
