This is the first Fan fiction I have ever written so it's probably still kind of rough in places.
The events in this story take place approximately half a year after the final events in Frozen and builds off of the "teaser" scene after the movies credits. While it is not necessary to have seen the after credit scene, the story makes more sense if you have seen it.
The overall arc of the story is written but filling it out will take time, I will try to add a new chapter every week on Saturday. Rated T because, well you'll find out in the later chapters.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters, locations, names, and so on and so forth…

Enjoy!


Arendelle Attacked

Chapter 1: The Coldest of Winters

The queen gazed out across the frozen land before her; there was something off about this winter, the cold, usually welcoming and pleasant felt, different, unfriendly, strange. She couldn't quite put her finger on it. The winter seemed unusually harsh and there didn't appear to be a thing she could do to lessen the cold for the people. Some of the townsfolk had even started to spread rumors that she may be responsible. The queen looked down at her pale hand. It had been almost a year since she lost control of her powers. Almost a year without incident, yet there were still people who doubted her ability to control her power. Her thoughts drifted to the squirmy little man who, in fear, had sent his guards to kill her. What would she have to do to convince these people that she meant no harm. Elsa leaned forward, resting her hands on the window frame and placing her head on the cool glass. She sighed, it had been less than a year and she was already sick of being queen. She was sick of the pompous nobles, the arrogant dukes, and what seemed like hundreds upon hundreds of rules and regulations she had to follow day in and day out for the rest of her life. One of her advisors had suggested that she keep a small personal guard to "protect" her from anyone who may want to harm her. An idea the advisor only dropped once she had destroyed about 14 of the castles archery targets at once simply by flicking her wrist. But the thing she was most sick of, the thing that annoyed her most was her advisors constant attempts to get her to find a "kind gentleman she could settle down with", a king with which she could rule Arendelle. Pah, it was her choice who she would marry, when she would marry him, or even if she was going to marry at all! Her advisors had no say in such matters. Elsa's train of thought was broken suddenly when she realized that she had covered most of her wall in a thin layer of frost. Ok, there may still be some slip ups, she thought to herself as she banished the icy wall covering, but nothing major. Right?

A knock on the door startled Elsa and she promptly lost her train of thought. "Your majesty, your light was still on. Is there a problem?" the maid asked in a concerned tone. "No," the queen replied, "I was just" she paused, what was she doing up this late at night? "Thinking" she finally concluded, that was as correct an answer as any. "Very well" came the reply, "you should retire for the evening, tomorrow is going to be a busy day for you". "Thank you" Elsa responded softly as the maid closed the door. As much as she hated being told what to do, the maid was right, she would need her rest if she was going to get anything done tomorrow. She put the strange winter out of her mind and got ready for bed. As she closed her eyes a gentle snow began to fall.

Elsa had been sleeping less than ten minutes when she heard a dull roar in the distance. Just the wolves, she thought to herself, the wolves always seemed to be howling at something or other nowadays. Elsa was getting ready to settle back into a deep sleep when a second roar, much closer this time, shook the windows of her palace room. Elsa opened her eyes, what in heavens was going on out there, she thought to herself, wolves aren't that loud, are they? The queen was getting up to take a look out the window when a frightened guard burst into the room. "The kingdom is under attack!" the guard exclaimed before dashing back down the hallways. She briefly walked over to her wardrobe to put on one of her dresses. The queen was surprised, but not alarmed; Arendelle's walls where strong enough to hold off almost any attacker so there was no need to rush. A massive crash emanating from the castle wall shook Elsa's faith in that statement; then again it had been quite some time since anyone seriously tried to attack...
She slammed closed the door to her wardrobe, there would be little time to change from her night gown, if her kingdom was under attack she would need to be there to defend it. Fortunately she always had an alternative dress, she stepped back and took a deep breath, releasing the icy magic flowing through her. It felt good using her powers again, there hadn't been much time for that sort of thing with all of the royal duties that she was expected to perform on an almost daily basis. She smiled as snowflakes spiraled around her, her ice dress slowly rose from around her feet, spreading across her chest and back and flowing out over her arms, eventually covering her in an intricately beautiful, but highly protective gown. Time to see what all this fuss was about, she thought as she stormed off down the corridor to the castles ramparts, a trail of snowflakes falling gently onto the carpets in her wake. She thought back to the archery targets; whoever was attacking would be thinking twice once they saw what she was capable of.
